@xboxjapanfan True Fantasy Live Online and Fantasy Life are 2 completely different IPs

I’m expecting the Ape Escape mode to be Ps5 exclusive since Ape Escape is a Sony IP.
But we’ll see.

Apparently they also disabled the play on XSX styles for the gears of war skins and the play on ps5 styles for the Horizon, Uncharted and God of War skins.

All of these where promised to be permanent unlocks available forever.

@UndyingInsurgent95 don’t let grifters win and ruin your hobbies! The world sucks enough as it is to let people take hobbies away from you over culture war nonsonse.

Beat Mr Mosquito and Secret Agent Clank on Ps5 last week, including the platinum for Mosquito. Also beat Mega Man III on Switch/NSO.

Currently playing The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages and Ace Attorney: Spirit of Justice.

The plan is to start something for spooky month after. Maybe the original Ps2 Silent Hill 2 Director’s Cut or Luigi’s Mansion 3 on Switch.

“Insider”?
Amazon literally made a store page for a ps4 and ps5 port releasing next month before deleting it.

@Pabpictu it’s not inbetween. It’s a literal remake. They made the game with a new source code in a new engine.
If it was a remaster it would’ve maintained the original source code and engine.

A remake is when a game is remade, regardless of how much is done.

Another example is Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2 on ps3. They lost all assets and source codes so they had to completely remake both games. They’re 1:1 remakes with almost no differences between the ps3 and ps2 versions but they where in fact completely remade due to the loss of all assets and source codes.

What remasters? They’re remakes! You can call a pig a horse, you can tell everyone the pig is a horse, it’ll still be a pig regardless.

Which, these are amazing remakes, but they are remakes.

@Pabpictu that’s complete and utterly false and a myth spread by people that don’t know what they’re talking about.
I recommend checking out DoesItPlay.
Majority of games on PlayStation and Nintendo hardware, including ps5, work completely offline from the disc without a patch needed to fix the game.

DoesItPlay checks every physical game and wether they can be started offline from a disc, wether they’re broken without updates, wether updates add additional content and wether the game requires an online check.

I started with the original Xbox alongside my GameCube, then skipped the 360 and One in favor of a ps3/wii and wiiU/Switch/ps4. Ended up getting a XSX 2 years after the 9th gen started (did get a ps5 day 1).
I just recently got a working X360 Slim and I’m currently playing through some Guitar Hero and Rockband games on there.
Also got a Kinect capable Xone last year so I can play Kinect games if I’m ever in the mood.

I main Nintendo and PlayStation obviously but I do enjoy my time with my Xbox’.

As someone with schizophrenia and anxiety disorder myself it was a great experience that made me feel heard. 10/10

@Noconsolewardweebs yeah. it’s a PlayStation IP published by PlayStations/sony.
If they’re not letting go of their quantic dreams games, bloodborne and Death Stranding they’re also not letting Helldivers 2 coming to xbox.

These are all sony owned IPs regardless of them being third party developed.

@Sifi wi-fi memory and VRR/1440p aren’t comparable.
Wi-fi memory is standard in the tech industry and has been for 20 years.

I played the entire trilogy and all of its dlc on ps5 about 3 or 4 years ago (when it was brand new) and they’re all great.

@Lup even the original DS had the ability to save 3 Wi-Fi networks simultaneously.
Ps3 and Psp already had this “feature” too

@GeeForce we knew about it for over a year but we didn’t know the code on which mods are based and implemented would completely change causing all mods pre update to become incompatible. The assumption was that wouldn’t happen.

@Savage_Joe stellar blade is a sony created IP outsourced to a third party, just like bloodbourne, demon’s souls, heavy rain, detroid become human, beyond two souls, rise of ronin, ratchet & clank pre purchasing insomniac and death stranding.

@Dangerdude nah the term was created because doom clones got a resurgence around the same time the boomer insult was created for people that don’t like change and progressiveness. It’s a joke name because “boomers” always complain about CoD clones and modern shooters not being up to snuff with DOOM.

Also super surprised boltgun wasn’t on xbox yet!
Bought the switch physical last august and that released a few months after the digital version.

@Valkyrian @Romans12 do you two even know about Persona 3?
FeMC/the female protagonist is a fan favorite character in the franchise and it should’ve mosy definitily been included with this remake. That has nothing to do with political correctness, it’s straight up a removed features.
And leaks and insider speculation are already saying it’s being saved for an expanded rerelease so if that’s true it’s just an exclusion to sell more copies in 3 years.

Xbox? Not that many. PlayStation? 21 ps5, 41 psp, 43 ps1, 66 psvita, 115 ps4, 169 ps2 and 432 ps3 games. 887 PlayStation games total (out of 1.395 physical games).

But TBF I only started collecting for xbox about 2 years ago.

Depends. If it has all dualsense features I might.
Hell if it has a gyroscope like wiiU/switch and ps3/4/5 I might.

The Avowed part was really bad IMO because the game just looked stilted and unimpressive and the talking felt like overselling what was shown like crazy.
The SE stuff felt like “we got paid for this but we won’t act comfortable”

But the other segments where great and well done IMHO. I also immediately installed hellblade 1 to beat that just before LaD8 releases because of the direct.

I completed Final Fantasy XVI on Ps5 last week and I’m currently replaying Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age on my Switch.

Also trying to reach level 200 in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1 on Ps5/Switch/Xbox before Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth release.

Beyond that gonna play some Powerwash Simulator on XSX

@themightyant also important to note while almost all big awards are American the BAFTAs are british/european which sets those apart a lot too.

@Friendly that’s been my takeaway with game journalism the past 10 years.
NintendoLife, PushSquare and PureXbox are great news sources with a lot of fun soapbox, joke and lighthearted articles.

Anyone else tends to clickbait and rely on negativity.

Although the big 3 aren’t save of clickbait either obviously.

EDIT: I don’t play on PC anyway and NL, PS and PX cover games big and small equally well so as a multiplatform console gamer these 3 satisfy me.

@AlwaysPlaying if starfield got robbed out of best OST than FFXVI got scammed, robbed and stabbed 5 times over.

@DeadmanGamer666 the previous article on this showed they got 3 strikes on each clip they made and made 3 clips total amounting in 9 strikes total.

1.) Hi-Fi Rush
2.) Ghostwire (played it on ps5 but still)
3.) forza motorsport 8
4.) starfield
Enjoyed all but some much more than the others.
The 3 games I haven’t touched are games I’ve heard from friends and family that I’m not missing out on anything as all 3 are bad.

EDIT: also really weird to count CoD MW3 as only like 1 week of its 1+ year development was under MS.
At that point also count Diablo IV and Crash Team Rumble.
EDIT2: I guess the same could be argued for Ghostwire but atleast that game was like 50% done under MS.

With Playground fully working on Fable 4 I doubt we’ll get another soon unless they’ll do another 5 and use 4 as a basis again.

Actually almost never use it but it was neat in PowerWash Simulator.
I prefer finishing my session with a safe save or intended break point.

Felt more like a jab/selfjab because of how both CP2077 and NMS where bad and broken at launch and both got amazing starting with their 2.0 updates.
Not so much actual advice.

@RBRTMNZ open critic is a review aggregator and isn’t an authority on quality or critical intend.

And that you don’t personally consider scores as intended doesn’t make them such.

Most if not all game critics and journalists, both professional, video format or amateur, consider scores starting with 6 to be good and 5 to be average.

@ZYDIO well I’m European so my school teachers would argue anything 55 and above is good.

@Cherip-the-Ripper 70-75 is an absolutely great score for a great game.
People need to stop seeing the 60 to 75 range as anything but good.

Absolute hype.
Was getting Fortnite crew on Sunday eitherway but the BP looks amazing. Really hope for some great emotes too.
Also hope neither 🅱️eter or snake are secret skins as I want to use them ASAP.

Also for those new to the game, Fortnite Christmas starts next week which is 14 free cosmetics including 2 skins. Perfect way to get free stuff without paying!

I use them immediately when I reach 4k to get the Fortnite starter pack of the season but ever since the massive nerfs the gains have been extremely slow sadly.
I get it’s a “beggers can’t be choosers” situation but man the nerfs to the points system sucks.

EDIT: it’s still better than PlayStation’s system. That gets you like 100 points every month and you need 1250 to get a €5 card.

As a physical game collector Nintendo’s system feels the most rewarding. I’ve been almost exclusively relying on gold points from cartridge activation for eshop sales.

Beat Like a Dragon Gaiden a few days ago and absolutely cried at that ending. Also beat Castlevania Bloodlines and reached level 50+ in Fortnite OG

I’ve currently beaten 99 games this year and 299 unique games since 2017 so I’m doing an almost blind playthrough of Final Fantasy 7. The only things I know are the twist the internet has spoiler for the past 20 years now and everything that was brought over to 7 Remake.

I ordered the ps5 physical of LaD Gaiden on Play-Asia and initially wanted to play it on my ps5 but decided to play it on XSX day 1 and play the extended LaD8 demo on ps5.

Beat Dead Space (2023) on my XSX yesterday and Professor Layton and the Lost Future alongside the original PL trilogy on my 3DS.

Started playing Final Fantasy VII on my Switch today which is a mostly blind playthrough beyond the Aerith twist and what I know from FF7R.
Also started Fortnite Chapter 4 Season OG on PS5 yesterday. Never played before ch3 s3 so it’s pretty neat.
And finally I started Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask on my 3DS.

I beat Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 1 & 2 in the past week and started playing Solar Ash.

Still chipping away at Ace Attorney: Trials and Tribulations and I finally started Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 4 after taking a break from the game.

Beyond those I’ll probably be starting Professor Layton and the Curious Village and Super Castlevania IV.

I beat TOEM and Ace Attorney: Justice for All last week and I’m currently playing Solar Ash and Ace Attorney: Trials and Tribulations.

With spooky month starting tomorrow I’m gonna play spooky games all month. My plan is to beat Super Castlevania IV, Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow, House of the Dead: Overkill, Until Dawn and Luigi’s Mansion 3 amongst other games.
Very maybe I’ll try Silent Hill 2 but that game is too spooky for me.

@AlwaysPlaying well TBF the 6,7 million people is across 6 mainline games, 5 spin offs, 7 remakes and 3 remastered collections. So that’s on average 319k people per game.

Started playing the first game on my Switch yesterday after beating 1 and 2 across september and august.

I beat Firewatch on my Xbox Series X last week and I continued playing Ace Attorney: Justice for All on Switch which I’m at the final episode for. I also started playing Baten Kaitos Remastered which is fun so far.

Beyond that I bought a handful of games including Gato Robotto, The Messenger, Neon White, Warhammer 40.000 Boltgun, Loop Hero and The Many Pieces of Mr. Coo which I might start too.

@theduckofdeath @J_Mo_Money it’s because publicly bethesda and spencer are still saying a ps5 port isn’t out of the question and the development for said port hasn’t been canned yet.

I beat Starfield yesterday on the Xbox Series X after playing it for almost 70 hours.
Currently continuing my playthrough of Ace Attorney: Justice for All I started on my Switch before Starfield.

Planning on starting Firewatch later and finally starting either God of War: Ghost of Sparta or Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time on Ps3.
Might also start Baten Kaitos 1+2 HD on the switch.

I have all the time in the world due to my unfortunate permanent bad mental state so I usually play games for 5 hours daily. Have been playing 10 hours daily since starfield released.
Have to play games a lot on doctors/psychiatrist order but I get distracted by things like youtube, tv, phone and twitch a lot.

After beating Ratchet & Clank: Quest for Booty and Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara on my Ps3 this week and A Short Hike and Gris on my Xbox Series X this week I started Playing Starfield on my Xbox Series X and continued playing Ace Attorney: Justice for All on my Switch.

Once I’m done with those I’m thinking about playing Firewatch, TOEM and God of War: Ghost of Sparta.

@senote the ps1 outsold the N64 by far and the ps1 was weaker, same with the ps2 vs gamecube and ps4 vs wiiU.
The consoles Nintendo outsold PlayStation in where the ds vs psp, the 3ds vs the vita, the wii vs the ps3 and the switch vs the ps5, and of those only the 3DS was by a landslide.

Xbox on the other hand only managed to outsell the gamecube and wiiU.

I beat Ace Attorney: Phoenix Wright this week and I’m currently halfway through Ace Attorney: Justice for All.

Gonna play A Short Hike before starting Starfield on Wednesday.
