Don't be a game dev.
Now Stranger than Heaven... Wow did I not expect the gameplay to be like this. I thought this was going to be another Yakuza game but it was surprising
We get to play fights during 3 time periods (ranging from easy to "advanced"). The combat is very direction oriented. 1/4
Some quick impressions from what I played (video of me playing the demo) :
The game runs well on S2. From a gameplay perspective, if you liked Rebirth, you will love Revelation, it feels relatively similar aside from the FITS integration which is a super interesting system 1/4
it has a really nice weight to it. Parrying in particular feels super satisfying and qome of the combats were not easy.
Visually the game is probably the most detailed "Yakuza-like" I've personally ever experienced. It looks and runs great. 3/4
I love the atmosphere of all 3 time periods.
Overall I'm pleasently surprised by StH and hope it does well, but people will probably be surprised and/or turned off by the complexity of the gameplay. 4/4

and I'm not the kind to play games on Hard. I may have to with Revelation.
Cid and Vincent feel pretty nice to play, albeit nothing too original, Cid is lance-focused, while Vincent uses guns for ranged and Beast mode for melee.
They also showed us live gameplay ... 3/4
of the exploration, with Midgard being once again revisited, Wutai, etc. If you hated the open world structure of Rebirth, you won't like what's coming.
Overall the game feels like a straight continuation of Rebirth, almost like you took a break and picked the game back up 4/4

Man the rumored prices for PS6/Helix are depressing as fuck for our hobby as a whole. The AI bubble needs to pop ASAP
You know damn well when it does that prices will never go back down. These companies have been CRAVING an excuse to bump up the prices for games, hardware, etc.
Ah yes PS1 boss battles; where smashing your face against the controller is the intended strat, and the camera is your worst enemy
