Not really. I often use the fast forward feature to great effect in the FFVII Remake currently on PS4 to get through moments that slog on

I only play RPGs on PC and emulators exclusively now for this exact feature. The speedhack from cheat engine and disabling the frame limiter on emulators are the only reason that I can play these 40-60 hours games in just 10-15 hours. Glad it now exist on consoles.

Of course. In today's way of stupid thinking, it has to be "GIMME NOW!" and "WHY DOESN'T THIS GAME PLAY ITSELF???". Great stuff.

I don't think it's in any danger of being a trend in open-world games, the only times I've ever seen it used was in remasters.

i don't care for an ingame speed mode, although it's a good thing. but i am already grateful when a game lets me skip those boring ingame sequences/movies. most of the game stories and narratives in games (especially rpgs) are boring me out of my mind and when some game thinks "player just HAS to watch our cute movies" then i'm put off. one usually knows after the first few words of an npc where the thing is going. and then having to click through screens and screens of pointless filler dialogue is the other major sin a game can make today.

I'm glad Nioh got some love, but I think Nioh 2 should be there too, an even more polished game imho. :)

The graphics of 2015’s Bloodborne do not hold up. This game needs a remaster.

I personally dont think ff10 is the best ff on there and bloodborne imo is the best rpg on there. I guess i still prefer my jrpg to be turn based and not action rpgs.

Shame they dont have any 1st party jrpgs. Thats what made me buy a used 360 in the past. Blue dragon. Lost odyessy. One or two other games. But imo blue dragon was the best of them
