It's cheaper to buy a PS3. Buy a PS3 and buy NieR and Valkyria Chronicles. It'd be hardly more than the price of a full year of PS Now, if at all. And from experience, PS Now works horribly. And they won't refund you for bad service, either.
The director and writer of this game worked on Final Fantasy VII. Both demos were a lot of fun. And the world they created paired with the music is incredible. I was about ready to sell my PS4, but the Platinum Demo kept me from it. Now, if the final product is a mess...that's one thing. But if it's not and it's as amazing as the last few moments of the new demo? Hnnnng! Gonna be so good. Completely hoping for the best, now.
Not that I have played Quantum Break, nor do I own an Xbox One (and don't plan on it til it's dirt cheap and has Scalebound), but, I have to say this: I think giving a game that is about action, one that has a good story, one that has awesome combat...I just don't know how all that could add up to a 6/10. You guys gave NieR 6/10 and it's pretty much the most beautiful game ever made in its genre, if not all genres. The point is: Why give rehashed Call of Duties 9/10s and 10/10s, and then turn around and give games that actually try to make something fun and unique 6/10s? It's just obnoxious.
So many good games. Just got a Playstation TV with Steins;Gate and Soul Sacrifice Delta...so my hours are rather occupied. But I'd totally buy Muramasa for $7 when it's three times that price for a physical copy.
6/10??? I like how reviewers list tons of "cons" just to back up their stupid scoring decision. How does "cutscene heavy" count as a con? It's an RPG. The story comes first in this genre, yeah? Hmph.
It really bothers me that great games like NieR and now Gravity Rush get low scores, when high budget games like Call of Duty get near perfect scores just because of their high budgets. I fear for the future of gaming when works of art like these games get kicked to the curb by manipulating the market. I feel the scoring of this game is dishonest when weighing the pros and cons. It isn't flawless. But it has more charm and beauty than most popular games these days.
