Posted June 23, 2023 First no Vampire Survivors thread, and now this!? Come on N-E, pull your socks up. I only played through the first Dragon's Dogma fairly recently, and felt like a complete fool for not having got around to it sooner. Had a really great time with the game though, and would say I even enjoyed it more than Elden Ring! So yeah, definitely hyped for the sequel, which is looking very good indeed. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd completely forgot about that! Man, 2024 is already looking absurdly stacked as it is, I'm trying to figure out what I want to prioritise and where to sink my teeth in first...and we don't even know about much beyond the first half of the year no rush to get to these games, but there's just so much! Now that I think about it, Dark Arisen being announced for the PS+ catalogue this month just before this showcase announcement got announced definitely makes it seem like that addition is part of their marketing strategy, and that an announcement for a release date that's not too far off is being lined up. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 17, 2023 Yeah, next year is crazy. Only 2 games for me that take priority and that's Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth and Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth. Everything else can wait. I've still not played most of the big games from this year yet either! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 17, 2023 (edited) Welp, looks like someone's jumped the gun somewhere: PEGI have listed the game's release date as being 22nd March 2024.

Everything else can wait. I've still not played most of the big games from this year yet either! Yeah, honestly finishing Like A Dragon has me really torn on prioritising Infinite Wealth or Granblue first: I know I'll have a great time with IW, I'm dying to know what happens next, but also the summer vibes and wanting to save those games for when I really need them makes me want to wait; Granblue, on the other hand, is just an epic curiosity of mine that I need to play for myself to decide if it was worth the wait. And Persona 3 Reload is just...well...going to be there for when I need a beautified remake of a super long Persona I guess I think Rebirth is probably the only one nailed down for me right now! And yeah, tell me about it. I've played fewer games this year for a lot of reasons, but what I have played that's been new has typically been 50+ hours long and of stupid enough quality that I've needed a considerable breather afterwards. We're in a real golden age for further backlog-filling, that's for sure Edited November 17, 2023 by Julius 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 17, 2023 (edited) Gotta wonder if some of these games will be pushed back. Edited November 17, 2023 by Hero-of-Time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 28, 2023 Ahead of tonight's showcase, March 22nd has been further cemented to all but officially be the game's release date, as it has now cropped up on the game's Steam page: Capcom have been typically pretty decent at containing leaks and dates over the last half a decade or so, so I choose to believe that it's Itsuno himself personally updating these pages as he can't contain his excitement 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 28, 2023 Yet another game releasing at the start of next year. Thankfully I'm not invested in this IP and so it's an easy pass for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 28, 2023 Not a good sign if they’re trying to squeak this out right before the end of the financial year… That’s usually a pretty big red flag… Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 28, 2023 Trailer from tonight's event (and yes, March 22nd it is!): VOD of the event: The physical edition looks mighty fine too! Hope there's a window at some point next year I can find to dig into this, but if the rest of the year is even only half as stacked as Q1, it'll be hard to see that happening 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 21 Probably gonna get this tomorrow. No idea why but aside from Balatro I'm not really into playing any other games I own these days. However, DD2 tempts me a lot, even though the first game never clicked with me Will trade in EA FC24 and get a copy for 40€. If I don't like it, I'm gonna sell it and move on. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have you dropped FFVII Rebirth? I knew Julius had but I thought you were still plugging away at it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But the first game is still extremely playable today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nah, I'm too cheap these days to be splash out £60-£70 on a new release...FFVII Rebirth being the exception. I'll eventually get around to playing the original and if I like it the price of the sequel will be something a little more reasonable for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It'll be 33%+ off in about 3-4 months and will eventually go down to about £5 and get included with every yearly Capcom Humble Bundle. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 21 Great to see this getting such great reviews! I checked out some of the previews yesterday and unfortunately I just don't think it's for me (at least right now), just based on the general lack of direction built into game for quests and things like that. That being said, I've got to applaud them for their character creator and for releasing it separately ahead of the game for people to dive right in at launch. This should be the standard with far more AAA RPGs that have deep character creator systems. 5 hours ago, drahkon said: "Why would you buy a new game then?", asks Zombie-Timmy. "Because maybe a small change might actually help, you stupid piece of crap!" One of the most relatable things ever written on N-E feels damn good to see Timmy is still kicking around too, even if it is as a zombie Hope everything's okay, and hope you enjoy the game! 15 minutes ago, Dcubed said: As always… … I am right 2 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
