How'd ya miss GTA 5?
After all the hype for GTA 6 this is a pretty big get, and ya know those rumors say PS5 Pro launch title.
For a quick second I read Thrillville as Trillkill got immediately happy and then immediately disappointed when I remembered the game never actual came out.
Possibly the highest Opencritic average in a long time. Congrats for folks at Sony!
Well, for me this is great, Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin has been in my cart then not purchased more than a dozen times.
I liked the demo and have always wanted to play it, now I will.
And Mega Man Collection is always a win for me, both 1 and 2, pretty good plus MM 11 too.
Classics are more previously available stuff, that's always slightly dissapointing. The road to Parasite Eve 2 and Shadow Tower is long. But good lineup regardless, I want to try salt and sacrifice.
I don't know I like the 8 bit mega man games I'm excited to play then again.
However it's a PS4 collection so there's only 1 native PS1 game were Getting again another Disney property
They are great and the inclusion of the collection is nice. But it allready existed, I think the most exciting part of Premium is that we sometime get new ports of classic that weren previously available, like Grandia. Prefer those additions over stuff that was allready available.
But if we just look at the games, then it's a pretty decent month.
I haven’t played mega man for 15+ years, I’m excited for some nostalgic fun
After a very disappointing essentials month, this might be the best extra month for me personally so far.
If all these games were in a bundle for the cost of one month of PS+, would you buy it?
Hell I wouldn't. Why I hate these sub services. You're just buying an unknown game bundle every month but then they lock away things that are free on other platforms like online and cloud saves so you get the added benefit of knowing you're paying money to be bent over and just straight up taken.
As Final Fantasy includes more real-time combat and action, the release of Stranger of Paradise makes FF's evolution to Soulslike seem more likely.
I've stated before they've changed so much. Ff16 might be the last one I even try unless they return to the greatness of the old school. I'll still give ff16 a shot just not a 70 dollar shot. I can see where the persons coming from though. I'm on the fence as fk with it. I Haye it but it's a series I grew up loving so I want to like it ugghhh
I didn't care for ff13 but I'd like to give it another shot. I do know it's turn based and linear. In ff13 defense ff10 was also linear.
Actually it wasn't ff since 3
When it stopped having more blank slate characters searching for crystals,
That's what ff is
Yeah
Like make a spin off game
They tried with that Stranger in Paradise one but it was half arsed and just seemed slap dash
Shame aswell because with Origin in the title they could have really made it a cool “origin” for FF in general.
"The day FF transitions to soulslike is the day I stop playing FF for good."
FF transitioned to Devil May Cry and you´re still a fan? Your claims sounds dubious at the very least.
I'm sure many would agree.
I continue to reiterate the oversaturation of the Soulslike genre and imo it would be a gross miscalculation of public desire to transition mainline FF as the forementioned. Likely, it would be an attempt to mimic the success of From Software and ER rather than maintaining the identity of FF proper.
I have no problem with a competent AAA spinoff of which Origins is not. In fact, a quality AAA Soulslike would be welcomed seeing as how virtually every game in the genre consistutes an indie to high AA standard with AAA quality and polish entirely absent outside DeS Remake.
However, due to the recent success of FVII, the impending "sequel(s)" and the impressive footage of XVI i would be baffled as to why SE would decide to sabotage the wave in favor of chasing a trend.
The Souls series is easily one of my favorites and so are the older Final Fantasies but there's no way FF will become a souls-like. Action rpg it's become sure but souls-like is a bit of a leap from just your standard action rpg.
I seriously doubt it. FF is way too mainstream, and SQ wants as many people playing it. It'll maybe borrow some aspects as Souls has had a lot of influence on many games but never go all out.
SoP isn't that bad. I'm enjoying the game so far. It's different and I like it.
Agreed 1000 percent.
I'd even drop my Haye of no world map if we could just get turn based back. Please o please square.
I did it was seemed kinda whack. I felt the stacking things an all that was pretty eh.
Did the FF 13 games come out over 20 years ago? Cuz those games are turned based. Also, FF7R is technically turned based. You're just allowed to do attacks but you still have to scroll through a menu for magic and abilities or you can set it so the attacks are automatic and you do everything through the menu.

Wish the demo was also available on PS4
Did anyone say, CHAOS?
Is it working now? Or still corrupted?
Yea they say Chaos a lot but it is the enemies name so although sounding lame it makes sense to say it. They could have cut the trailer to have Chaos said less, the graphics need polish obviously but it could be a fun game . I’d put it in Japanese if they have the option
Ian Malcom warned you.
