    Funny how a mobile developer's first proper game releases in a finished state, without bugs and puts shame most AAA games.

      Yeah funny that, no excuses about gaming being too expensive to make no excuses about other bullshit things going on in the industry, no bowing down to bullshit ideologies either, now I hear Sony's going to bow down to it though, I hope it's not true but I've been hearing that Sony is trying to censor this game which is the wrong move to make, and it sounds to me like they're being influenced by Black Rock and Vanguard like all the other companies that bow down to the ESG Dogma mentality, problem is if they do this more often, they can effectively destroy their entire platform, I really hope that doesn't happen because it's good to have competition in the gaming market, because it means better games when there's competition, I don't want them to lose their business for some stupid decision they made, I want them to continue to exist.

      ​@@user-tp5yb4hr4w They all want to push the same agenda, even independent studios, but it's only a handfull of dev studios/solo devs the ones who try to make genuinely entertaining video games, Helldivers 2 and Stellar Blade are an example of that (there's a plethora or other games which also do not try to push any sort of agenda, but most of them are "pre culture war".

      @DanteMasaru 18 дней назад +17

      As most seem to overlook, (and/or hate to admit): focusing on content creation and one platform only usually results in a better product. Exclusivity is a testament of a studio's budget, time, and other resources not being split between multiple platforms, which usually results in said resources being more diminished.
      That's not to belittle or dismiss multiplatform games, but how often less optimized multi-plat games are compared to exclusive games? If one values quality over accessibility, exclusives are a benefit to the consumer. Yoshinori Kitase has gone on record saying that the vastness/scope and volume of FFVII Rebirth wouldn't have been possible if Rebirth was a multiplatform project.

    From what I played of the demo, I agree about how fighting multiple enemies feels clunky. I think the biggest issue is that it doesn't really seem like you can cancel attacks to block or dodge. Your stuck committing to them, so finding an opening when surrounded by a mob of weak enemies is a pain. Hopefully that gets mitigated some later in the game, or in a patch at some point, though it might make boss fights _too_ easy, so maybe not. Either way, not as obnoxious as Dark Souls 2's attack queuing, so I'll live.

    Looking foward to playing it on PC and hopefully they can polish it up a bit.
    the attraction is the gourgous protagonist but the star and core of the game is the combat and monsters.
    sadly that is lost on some people but then so much is for them.

    7:36 you can disable the auto lock on. Made the game so much more enjoyable and free to attack for me

    Already preordered! Having played the demo quite a few times, I absolutely love the combat it’s so satisfying and the music is amazing! I don’t need the best story in the world (being a Resident Evil junkie😅) as long as the gameplay is good and fun then that’s all that matters.

    2 days in the future here: Before you Buy, understand that this game was promised to be uncensored in terms of gore. Sony has IMMEDIATELY did a 180 and censored a scene in the game where Eve get’s *real* bloody, among many others. I happened to notice it on the first fight I did with the boss pertaining to the censorship compared the patch note it was censored on. If you have a physical copy of this game, DO NOT UPDATE IT! Fair warning for every one who has a physical disc edition like me!

    As a car guy, the vette analogy makes sense. It's true, cars aren't made the same, but they're still pretty cool sometimes.

      ​@@jameswebb7806 even if you think the game sucks it being a heavy goty contender is objective. There are A LOT of final fantasy fans in the gaming community and they are VERY loyal to the game. It got a lot of hype and positive feedback from many people, even people who never even played a ff game before. if there isn't any huge competition against it, it's definitely winning lol

    the boss fights kind of remind me of the mini boss fights from og god of war, I really hope this game gets released on PC and has a chance for a sequel, the combat looks so good.
