Yeah, makes sense they'd wanna do bigger and better things, but at the same time why not stick to what you're good at, at least for a little while and do another adventure game first. Anyhow, what I've been up to in my gaming time lately:Nier Automata - Holy fuck this is great. Feels super Nier, but the combat is very platinum. Tons of weapons, attack variety, NPCs mumble oddball shit like Nier, main story is very compelling, incredible music, tons of useless quests like Nier if you wanna do, weapon stories are still there and all, cutscenes are great. Translation is A++. I'm playing JP voice, English text and they match up perfect with excellent editing and translation on the subs, coming from the worst dubtitle english ever in FFXIV this is very refreshing! I'm still early on because the game is so good and big with its open areas that it's the kind of game that is made for sinking tons of time into at once and marathoning, and while I'm playing FFXIV that's not gonna happen, so might put this on the backburner until a month or so from now and then marathon through. But it definitely could end up being GoTY from the first few hours. Also, glad it sold well in Japan. As long as it doesn't bomb internationally SE should be giving Taro & Platinum more $$$ for more projects in the future and that's excellent news. Platinum realizes Taro's gameplay way more than Cavia. Now the gameplay is actually fun!VIDEO Super Robot Wars V - Great SRW. And hey it's available in 100% English right now off the Singapore PSN store (ENGLISH VERSION) . After Z3 being awful and unfun, V feels like it's making up for the last decade of mediocre SRW games by just making it really fast and fun. Almost no padding thanks to only being 1 game (as opposed to part 1 & part 2), animations are fast and load fast, all the new animations are great! Crossbone Gundam is crazy good looking. All the Z3 units are just sprite rips and dumped in for better or worse so they're still stiff, but the story doesn't focus on them and they're just there for fun and more playable units. The story is basically YAMATO 2199 THE GAME. It's the background core plot and every mission is basically one 1 episode of the show. The visual novel parts are done really well and Yamato is a beast of a unit Ideon style. Gonna be the best unit in the game for sure and the core of my team. SRW V from the 10 or so missions I've played feels like a great jumping in/starting point for licensed anime Super Robot Wars which problem has to do with it being the first version in English. They've revamped the gameplay systems to make it more fun with instant boost dash or multiple turns or criticals using EV points you gain from kills like G Generations. Also the skill system is AWESOMELY BROKEN. You buy your pilot skills with team tactics points and then assign them to whoever. So like I bought Hit & Away really early on and just gave it to Captain Okita of the Yamato, which basically made the Yamato even more unstoppable (I had 4 battleships take shots at it one turn with no armor upgrades and it didn't even take 1 damage on hard mode lol). Now you don't have to individually grind PP with units to get the skills you want, you just buy them and stick them on the units you want. Game is the easiest SRW I've played since maybe W, but it's easy in a really fun way of just blowing through being badass and having a good time and I am A-OK with that. If I want challenge I can get them from OGs.FFXIV - I'm a chunk into the first and only currently available expansion Heavensward (next expansion comes out in June). It's great! Good looking areas, amazing music, good characters and a solid plot. Plus flying and all that. Lotta stuff to look forward to, so still playing this regularly. Will definitely finish it before Stormblood comes out in June.Resident Evil 7 - Haven't touched it in a week or so, need to get back to it since I do like it. Now that I finished Life is Strange, this will be the next "short" game I probably clear.Gravity Rush 1 - same as above. Also got Horizon the other day. Haven't popped it in yet. Will pop it in just to check out the graphics, play an hour, but then it's going in the backlog with Nioh until I finish some of these long games. Will do the same with Zelda next week. But luckily there's nothing coming out I'm interested in after that until Ys8 PS4 on May 25th, so I've got a couple of months to finish the above stuff I'm playing.
