This definitely keeps me interested, but I’m still waiting for it to be released and to hear more about the gameplay before buying.

It’s was the lack of backwards compatibility that killed it for me. I’d had niggling considerations of PSVR1 for some time, then PSVR2 was announced and I was all ready to hand over my money. Until it became clear there was no backward compatibility. So I own neither.

I’m cautiously optimistic for them as I’d love to see it succeed but I can see where the uncertainty comes in. But they’ve not said over what time period, so it may be over a period of a few year which makes it a more manageable, but still a stretch of a target.

Having said that, personally, I’m waiting on the release of this and DD2 before I decide which to get first.

Not exactly. PlayStation version uses the same payment methods as the PC version. So though you can’t pay through PS Store you don’t have all this extra layer of Coin crap to deal with that Xbox has apparently enforced on them.

Exciting times, best of luck with the update!

I certainly will. I’m looking forward future updates.

This is an incredible update for me, the introduction of mod actions means less reason for me to jump from the app to instance websites.

Thank you.

Not being American, thus no pizza rolls is stopping me. I do want some though.

Sounds like you were living the dream.

This is the comparison I end up making. Is it more up front? Yes, but will I get more hours out of it? Yes. Can I pick it up again without any additional cost? Yes. Can I be a goblin and not leave the comfort of my own house? Yes.

Sooo… they’re not a shitty company, they just make games that you don’t like.

I don’t know if I’ve missed something but what makes Lego shitty?

It’s a fan favourite, often by a large margin. It makes sense in every way to not only finance something that will sell, but will also bring more content to the fans and life to the game. If fans didn’t want it, they would reject it, and they’re not doing that.

Oh I know it wasnt snark, apologies if my replies make you think I assumed that.

I absolutely get where you’re coming from though. Sometimes I do wonder if its down to the developers or even their publishers for allowing MS and Sony to do that with their games. I actually suspect that they pay them for the rights to do it. Which is shitty all in of itself.

As interesting as it is, thats actually a common misconception. It wasn’t due to facing bankruptcy and years later Sakaguchi gave a different account from his supposed last effort at making a game.

This Famitsu article details it as such because they hoped it would be abbreviated as FF because it sounded good in Japanese. Their initial name was Fighting Fantasy but that had potential trademark issues, so they settled on Final Fantasy. Apparently they also didn’t care so much about what it was and any words that abbreviated to FF would work.

I like the more recent story as it gives some certainty to the series from the beginning, but I suspect it was a mixture of both Sakaguchis possible last hurrah and wanting a “cool” name.

I don’t keep a super close eye on XBox but I do watch some of their announcements, just incase. Normally I dislike pulling a “they’re all as bad as each other” but felt it was justified in this case.

I’ve noticed XBox have been pulling similar things as well, with the worst offender being Persona 3: Reload. You’d wouldn’t know from the trailers that its on other platforms - even on the website PS only gets a mention in the order section. Its quite annoying that they’re both doing that.

Jesus Christ, why?

I thought for me that was a lot to get excited about and interested in, so one of the better state of plays for me. Silent Hill: The Short Message was an interesting reveal that I wasn’t expecting and it was good to see more of SH2, which is what I was hoping to see. I was expecting to see more FFVII Rebirth, so the last message that it’ll be a dedicated SoP next week was great.

Oh and Kojima, lol.

I need more Detective Peach.
