if they are as long and boring as the last star ocean, count me out. I played 20 hours and had one achievement... way to give me a sense of progress lol

Redempteur4766d ago

since when tri-ace gams are short ??

star ocean 4 is 200-450 hours to platinium

Scyrus4766d ago

seriously bluegreenman is dumb lol, the gameplay was extremelly fun, tons to do, and star ocean is always ridiculously long.

thats the reason of love jrpgs, because psn or live being down doesnt affect me with rpgs like this. rather spend 60 bucks on a 200 hour game than a 5 hour game

bluegreenman4765d ago

guys, calm down... the game is very well made with a great story and gameplay. Thats not what I was saying. Im saying the sense of progress made it boring for me. I love the old star ocean games, and I have beaten dozens of JRPGS just as long as star ocean. Im allowed to have an opinion without being "dumb" using ad-hominid arguments just make you look "dumb" so try actually debating.

Redempteur4765d ago (Edited 4765d ago )

i do ho^pe you're not putting me in the same bag as scyrus

your complain is that after 20 hours you have one achievement , my answer is that star ocean games are long to complete thus it's completly understandable that you don't have easy trophies .

Are you rushing through the game or are you playing it and/exploring ? it's perfectly normal that you don't have trophies when they are acquired after much more time of gameplay ( except the 8 or so stories related trophies )

i wasn't aware that rpgs were games giving easy trophies last time i checked ..sure the progression in star ocean 4 is slow but thats' also because the story campaign is quite long ..
after 20 hours you're likely to have finished the second planet and thus can have another trophy/achievement ..

bluegreenman4765d ago

I used to love really long games.. but now I work a lot and have other things to do. That is why I end up playing online games more. just a personal preference. not an insult to the genre. I love the JRPG genre, I used to play them a lot. I beat every final fantasy, I even started the japanese only games.

Interesting that Konami is releasing nothing of note and still enjoying high profits. I guess this is the allure to companies.

VenomUK4d ago

It was probably due to the half-hearted release of the Metal Gear Solid Collection v1.

Imagine the extra sales Konami could’ve made if it had put some effort into it.

JL29303d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Half hearted? MGS: MC is the best collection of Metal Gear games you can get with tons of bonus content.

Why are you mad? Because they didn't make the games 4K so you can see the low resolution textures and warping better? Most of you cry babies never even touched the MSX Metal Gears.

SimpleDad4d ago

Of course, they rereleased MGS series on modern platforms. Thank You Mr. Kojima.

Since The Contra Revival Shows Konami Still Cares, How About A New Castlevania?

Hanzala from eXputer: "Contra: Operation Galuga is a classic revival done right, but why hasn't Konami done the same yet for the bigger and more popular Castlevania?"

shinoff218341d ago

Slowdown. Let them get these suikoden games done first. Alot of us are still waiting for those

XiNatsuDragnel41d ago

Castlevania fighting game for wii needs to be remade plz

Aphrodia40d ago

well, the new C ontra was made by Wayforward, who have been taking sooooo many of these classic franchises and making new iterations of them. Imo they aren't very good at it. And I don't see operation galuga being a large enough success to possibly give them Castlevania.

It’s almost like Metal Gear is a well known franchise

Horrible news more proof todays "gamer" is just a cow ready to be milked.

That mgs collection is no better than my ps3 copy but my ps3 copy has 0 server restrictions i always roll my eyes when reviewers or these new "youtube gamer" channels show off the information books on a webpage via a trash in game browser or the lack of controller support like it s a good thing.

Also GOG still has a better version mgs 1 or use the duck ps1 emulator.

Well time for the peace walker remaster pc port 480p 20fps needs a rtx 3090 or 6900xt to run with dunovo konami account then a govt id check.

just_looken97d ago (Edited 97d ago )

All the bonus content on the new collection needs a konami server to load them up if you pull your lan cord only the games will work but that is temp as those games are digital goods.

When i said digital i know there is a disc version games are on the disc i was referring to the pc version and the patches after the fact but yes ps5 has a disc version.

Here is the online bit
