Estil | 1,265 Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 You mean still no cute chicks in your party...as a matter of fact you don't even get a party/team at all! Just this revolving door of characters sort of thing. Yeah, not worth at all getting a PS5 just for this one game Now when will we hear anything new about Dragon Quest 12...

Nintegageo | 582 Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 I am really enjoying it. The CGI integration with combat is awesome. I am just concerned it might be a bit short, but by that I mean 30-40h completionist game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumez | 2,983 Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 I certainly hope the game doesn't go over 40 hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strange | 1,700 Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 Man this is one of the few modern games released recently that has actually kept me engaged. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree regarding engagement. I am really enjoying the story and characters in this one. I'm much more invested in both than the previous game (15). I don't know exactly, but I'd guess I'm maybe 8-10 hours into the game at this point. I'm really enjoying it so far! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nintegageo | 582 Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 @Sumez I read main story is 30h with all the cinematic etc. I mean doing all side missions, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I’ve also left it sitting open while doing something else in the house so that’s probably contributed an hour or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But still, almost $600 (PS5+FF16+sales tax), just for that one game...it doesn't seem right 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sumez | 2,983 Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Yeah, it's really not just one game. The Ps5 also has Returnal, so that's two games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spacepup | 2,406 Administrator · Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 There are lots of good PS5 games. "Lots" is probably subjective, and depends on one's interests - before I get crucified or challenged about exactly which exclusive and what is 'worth' it, I'll just say that for me personally, I've already gotten hundreds of hours of entertainment out of the console, and don't regret the purchase one bit. Much (not all) of that has been from exclusive content. I don't have a super amazing gaming PC, so being able to play Horizon: Forbidden West on PS5, has been amazing (and I absolutely love the game). I wouldn't advise anyone buy a console just for one game, but I don't think most people do that. Maybe one game motivates someone to get a console, but they're not literally spending $500-600+ just to play Final Fantasy and nothing else ever (in most cases).

Strange | 1,700 Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 I think I said it in another thread here recently but the Demon’s Souls remake is one of the best gaming experiences I’ve ever had Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumez | 2,983 Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 From what I heard, it's literally the exact same game, playing the exact same way, except with some updated graphics (which are polarizing too, though I like what I have seen). Of course that itself is great, but hardly a reason for a brand new console that takes up half my living room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacepup | 2,406 Administrator · Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 I guess I was destined to buy a PS5 no matter what. There is no way I'd miss out on more Horizon, Ratchet and Clank, Final Fantasy, etc. I've really enjoyed the system, but like anything else - some will love it, some won't want it. Don't want it? Ok For me, I absolutely don't regret the purchase, even though I also have a PS4. As for this thread - Final Fantasy - it's honestly pretty darn good in my opinion. And I think it has the absolute best iteration of Cid of any of the Final Fantasy games. He's a really major character in this game. It feels very different from many of the other Final Fantasy games, and I'm ok with that, it's kinda cool. I like the direction they went with it, and it's also nice to know I won't need to sink 100+ hours into yet another game hah. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With only two games on the platform so far, it's an easy wait, but the positive reception for FF16 does make me anxious to try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RH | 4,935 Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 I'd like to get one eventually for a few games and that PSVR2 because that one sounds like a VR headset that's finally up to the standards with someone who gets motion sickness can use. However, I'm going to wait until those items are in the "bargain bin", and gauging by that fact that the PS 4 is still developed for, I'm likely to not get a PS5 with a VR setup for another 15 years. Well at least the kids will be out of the house and I won't have to worry about sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koifish | 557 Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 you ever feel like sometimes games look TOO nice? Like, there's just a lot going on, but I dunno if the gameplay will be much different. At least nomura isn't here, apparently, so it shouldn't be as full of nonsense as his usual antics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what about sharing and caring? And I'm now currently working on Tales of Berseria, which (like the first Phantasy Star) stars a chick! Then you got Tales of Zesteria (the above game is its prequel) and I managed to get the newest Tales game (Arise) for just $15 new...so I think I still got more than enough on the PS3/PS4 to keep me busy trophy hunting!
