I'm not so sure this is going to be a win at least commercially. They really should have found a way to pack in GR1 much like Bayonetta 2 and Dishonored 2.
I'm just glad to have this feeling in my heart of "Japan is back." I always loved how whacky and lateral Japanese games and stories could be, so it's reassuring to me that games like TLG, Gravity Rush 2, the Yakuza series, Persona 5 and Nier: Automata are all in the pipeline.
I still love games like Mass Effect and Witcher as well, but it's great to see more Japanese games in my library again. There was something of a drought for a while there.
That is stupid. Fix this shit
You don't know what you are doing. TLG actually reviewed better than this game.

What is this supposed to mean? The Last Guardian was well received and has a higher metacritic score than GR2 lol
Well this is nonsense if I ever heard it. The Witcher had tonnes of hidden dungeons, settlements and quest lines that, unless you searched for them, you could easily go the whole game without finding.

To be fair, if one has Amazon Prime and lives near an Amazon Warehouse, they could get the game a day early, since they ship the game 2 days early and the proximity would shorten the shipping time.

It might be a slow burn or asia/europe will pick up the slack. I mean there has to be reason why grr was on ps plus asia
You could always watch/skim through a full walkthrough. I probably will do that myself, it's been a minute since I last played.
Also this.
Oh man, that would've been great. I really messed myself by not holding onto the Remastered copy, seeing as how it had a limited amount of physical copies.
I hear ya. The settings and stuff that you can expect from Japanese games always have me so interested nowadays lol
Here's to hoping Nier gets excellent reviews as well.

This going to have any enhancements for the Pro or have they still not announced it?
I'm assuming you are talking commercially, because TLG is well received and won many GOTY awards...
My impressions as well. Shame as this series should be exactly my cup of tea. I hate generic mission objectives.

Anyone know if Newegg gets the preorder bonus? Amazon declined to match their price.
even commercially it did better than ico+sotc

Re-read waht I said, and no there were not many dungeons in witcher at all, nothing like skyrim for instance, and most were very small and tied to quests.

If anyone's interested, I could upload the screenshots I took of all (or most at least) of the story sections of the game, mostly the comic book parts.
Of the first game? If so, then sure.

I wish I had ones from the second game, believe you me
I'll start uploading now, shouldn't take too long.

Ugh, I really want to support this, but NieR: Automata on preorder is already stretching my budget right now.
Do you happen to have the scenes with the travelers/mysterious couple? Didn't have the time to find them all again on the remaster and forgot what they said.
(Or if someone has the text for those, it would suffice)
Just wait. The games price will most likely be cut in half after a couple of months.
They're both worthy causes, though to be fair, it looks like Platinum needs the financial help right now far more than a Sony in-house studio does.
I'm so glad I don't have to make that decision. Happy to support em both

Thanks for the reassurance, guys. Though do we know what physical distribution is going to look like for GR2? I don't recall the remaster being impossible to find, but I don't think I ever saw it in a local brick & mortar either. I remember the price fluctuating pretty wildly a bit during the summer last year too.
I'm making my choices based on my time budget. I could buy all the games I wanted, but that would mean adding to the back log. So for me, I made the choice in January to let Resident Evil 7 fall by the wayside. I'm really looking forward to that game, especially since I do have PS VR, but Gravity Rush 2 and Yakuza 0 will take a LOT of time to play through, and financially, I don't think Capcom has too much to worry about, they'll be fine with one less sale from me.
True. For me, it just happened to work out perfectly. Only interested in GR2 fo January. Nothing going on in February unless Horizon is super impressive, and March is Zelda and Nier. Oh, and Persona for April.

Good reviews. Any chance it hits red box? I was able to rent The Last Guardian from one.
This is probably one of the best first quarters in gaming for me in years.
Gravity Rush 2 and Yakuza 0 in January (Resident Evil 7 on want list) , Horizon: Zero Dawn in February (Torment: Tides of Numenera on want list), Nier; Automata, Mass Effect: Andromeda and Dreamfall Chapters: The Longest Journey in March (Star Trek: Bridge Crew on want list), Persona 5 in April.
I've never had a first quarter like this where every month there was at least one game I was buying for sure, with at least one other being a strong buy. This generation is really hitting its stride with me. And we don't even have the release date for Yakuza: Kiwami yet. It's crazy.

I'm glad to see mostly positive reviews, but my two main hopes going in were more diverse missions and a less sterile world and it sounds like those still haven't been improved much?

Not mention It sold a fuck ton more than this game ever will.
Smh always that one.
He also gave the lowest score to the first game(5/10)
If he disliked the first game, I'm not sure why not give the review copy to another reviewer since it's obviously not his cup of tea.

I sure do, I'll upload those as well. Imgur isn't cooperating, so it will take a bit longer.
EDIT: I'll just upload the folders on Drive, can't be bothered to sort them on Imgur.
Lol yep
Yeah with all the positive news about Microsoft they REALLY need a win right now.
Seriously though Last Guardian was amazing and compliments an already diverse exclusive list of games.

Don't link them, it just gives them the clicks they wanted w/ that score.
Perhaps he was expecting them to have improved the formula or core gameplay etc? That's what I wanted / expected, and not an unfair expectation for a sequel moving from a handheld to a console. Had they done so this might have been something enjoyable for him.
His criticisms read like the criticisms many people had of the first game - which makes sense - except that the story there was fun and snappy whereas here he says it struggles.
And that dragged the MC average down one point
Wow, never heard of slant but they were able to pull it down a full point? Shame.
It is a review.. and this is a review thread.. so it should be here.
Yeah I don't get it.
That's not really a reason to not review a game, for all you know he could have loved the second game, that has happened with me for several series at least. Reviews aren't meant to be solely targeted at fans of the series.

I mean, you're entirely right - but I can't help but feel like a score that much lower than the average is trying less to be an actual review and more to be some kind of clickbait.
To say nothing of how short the 'review' is either.

You guys are not wrong, but with a score of 3 I'd expect the game to be pretty much unplayable. Which I'm pretty sure is not the case.

game looks amazing so excited for this
Haha same, not to mention that that implies that he felt it was worse than the first one, which he also reviewed. And maybe he does feel that way, who knows, everyone has an opinion. Add it to the OT of course. I just chuckled because in every review thread when things are "going well", you'll eventually get that one review that just breaks the trend and makes you go "Why tho" lol,
I still recall that one for Uncharted 4.
