World of Final Fantasy Review

For many, the wait for Final Fantasy XV’s approaching release has been torturous. Well, I’m here to tell you that not only has a new game in the Final Fantasy universe already released, but it has finally brought together the many characters from each of the franchise’s installments, culminating in an adorable, tactical monster-collectathon.

Gahh, gotta get the money to buy this one!

ifrit_caress2764d ago

This game actually looks awesome. I can't wait to get it, when its price drops.

Fist4achin2764d ago

Hopefully there will be some sales in December. I will be looking.

ifrit_caress2764d ago

Not December. The PlayStation Store has awesome discounts every fall season. I will get myself a PS4 pro in December, though.

jlfleur2764d ago (Edited 2764d ago )

It's a full-fledged FF game and worth the asking price, though Square asking a total $100 for both the PS4 and VITA versions is a little steep. I was hoping for cross-buy.

I understand being on a budget, but make no mistake. It's a AAA experience. I didn't mention it in the review, but the sheer quantity of voice-acting is staggering. It's not exactly all quality, but there's very little unspoken text.

That's great news. Hopefully the Coalition can smooth some of those edges from the last Avowed reveal.

phoenixwing10h ago(Edited 10h ago)

Well I'm annoyed. Especially at all the ppl who said the graphics sucked. It's your fault they probably shifted the game to unreal so it could look more fancy for you. I was ok with it and hoping to actually play it sometime soon. Now it's like 99% chance it's delayed.
Edit: effing graphics whores

"Well I'm annoyed. Especially at all the ppl who said the graphics sucked. It's your fault they probably shifted the game to unreal so it could look more fancy for you."

What the hell are you talking about dude? Avowed was already in development using the UE5. The Coalition is just helping Obsidian in the transition to its latest version (5.3)

MrBaskerville35m ago(Edited 33m ago)

Probably not even that big of a difference. Coalition might only have helped because they got a deadline to meet.

Unreal isn't nearly as bad as Unity when you update a project. Though it obviously depends on the project. But unity generally gets an aneyurism if you threaten to update, where Ue is usually less stingy.

Reaper22_33m ago

In excited for Avowed and Gears 6.

Fishy Fingers1h ago

It already was Unreal 5, its just moving to the latest build.

Lightning7710h ago

Apparently the latest build looks way better graphically. This rumor from Jez Cordin (who's credible) pretty much confirms it.

Interested in seeing more on Avowed in a few weeks.

Notellin1h ago

UE 5.3 has been out since September of last year. I can't believe this is news or that anyone is hyping this up.

MrNinosan58m ago

As Hellblade failed to set the world on fire, just like Halo Infinite and Starfield before it, it's time to look forward to the next Game of the Decade candidate.
Of course it needs to be hyped up ahead of time 😏

truthBombs41m ago

I liked the games unique artstyle when It was revealed. I hope they're not making the migration based on criticism. It's only a rumor anyways

MrBaskerville31m ago

I imagine the art style will stay the same. But there'll probably be some visual upgrades here and there.

anast4m ago

This was the only game I was jealous of, but It's a wait and see game now. Plus, I can wait until they release it on PSN.

Steam Account Transfer Via Will on Death is Not Permitted, Valve Confirms

In case you were curious, a Steam account transfer via will is not permitted according to an official response from Valve.

anast19h ago

The games are theirs. People just pay to ride the ride.

Skuletor2h ago

Would be nice if the article's writer looked into and reported whether other digital game libraries could be transferred over via will (Xbox, Playstation, Nintendo, EGS, EA app, GOG, Ubisoft Connect, Rockstar Launcher etc) instead of this half-baked piece but it's probably the same for all of them anyway

Kornholic2h ago

This seems like a way bigger issue than mandatory PSN account linking for PlayStation games.

So where is the outcry?

Skuletor2h ago

It's not like PlayStation is doing any different.

NotoriousWhiz2h ago(Edited 2h ago)

It's not like your account just stops working when you die. Include your email, account id, and password in the will (including the password to your email) and your survivors should have no problem using your games.

thorstein1h ago

So just give your progeny the passwords.

OtterX1h ago

Keep the password sealed in the Will, only to be opened after death. :)

CDPR say Witcher 4 will be different from Witcher 3: "We don't want to be stuck in the same spot"

The next Witcher game will still be an RPG but players can expect new things as CD Projekt Red want to push boundaries and discover new ways of storytelling.

Terry_B17h ago

Each of the 3 existing Witcher games is pretty different from each other..

just_looken2h ago

They were different because they went from being a port studio with there last port being the god awful saints row 2 pc port to making the witcher one.

The first witcher was there first actual game with there own engine the 3rd one showed there years of experience/in house engine improvements.

This witcher game has very very few of the original people behind it and its using unreal engine like so many other games.

The big elephant in the room is that they are now proudly esg supports and go to a panel of esg reps to approve there games now.

https://www.youtube.com/wat...

The is cdpr 2020's not the 2010's cdpr we used to know.

https://www.gamesradar.com/...

Take the blood/sex/nudity/adult humor/combat system/rpg mechanics/writing/story charecters/art/design and there passion/drive from the first 3 games throw it in the fucking trash there now you got what they have right now for the witcher 4.

New engine new writing team new everything even esg leadership so yeah "Witcher 4 will be different from Witcher 3"

Sonic18811h ago(Edited 1h ago)

This doesn't sound good without the original team

Kaii16h ago

My only issue with 3 was with the combat

bRuud834h ago

Combat was never the strongest part of the series.

just_looken2h ago

True but anyone that thinks witcher 3 2.0 combat is bad would never get past the first section of witcher one.

Profchaos4h ago

I felt 3 was ok took a long for it to click but I tried 2 and I found combat controls to be my biggest barrier to actually enjoying it was about 50 times clunkier than 3

thorstein2h ago(Edited 2h ago)

I thought the weakest point was the copious amount of dialog. Sometimes less is more. I remember clicking through just to get to the objective.

outsider16242h ago(Edited 2h ago)

Compared to W1, W3 feels like a masterpiece in combat..lol.

Nacho_Z51m ago

I loved it despite the combat so if they can get that right it'll be an incredible game. The other thing I wasn't fond of was being deluged with loot, quality over quantity for me.

sagapo16m ago

Can someone tell me what they didn’t like about the combat? Was it the pace or something? Because I didn’t have any problem with the combat once I realized it wasn’t a button mashing type of combat…
I honestly like to know.

Bethesda seems like a studio that is "stuck in the same spot". Development wise. Glad CDPR are wary of that element in game design.

Hugodastrevas5h ago

This can either go very well or very badly. I hope the latter.

just_looken2h ago(Edited 2h ago)

That is on your mobile device they copied pokemon go few years back
