All I want from Konami in Vol 2 is Metal Gear Solid 4 Guns of the Patriots and Metal Gear Acid 1 and 2 and I will be super happy. These games need to be released on modern hardware.

I am hoping that these collections get physical releases did they mention anything about a physical release?

Edit: Konami has confirmed the collection will receive a physical release for PS5/XSX/Switch.

Given the history expect LRG to handle it

 
Early reviews are looking good for FF XVI, which is a good thing considering how much I enjoyed the demo.  I'm really anxious to play more with the combat side, as I felt like I was just starting to really figure it out at the end of the demo.

Another thing that I liked was the active lore elements and how easy it was to access little bits about the history of each character as you were playing, rather than having to dive into some massive encyclopedia of data.

My copy arrives on Friday from Target. My preorders from them always arrive late so I'm happy it is arriving on release day. After playing the demo I immediately preordered it. It was a great demo and sold me on it style and combat system.

Oddly enough, I’m getting mine from Target in an hour or so. Shocked to be getting it early!

There is a second part of the demo where you run around a castle fighting from later on in the game. I do not know how long that part is because I stopped since that part wont carry over.

My Target copy which "shipped" Saturday will be here on Friday too. Sometimes these UPS>USPS deals they do arrive a day early so hopefully it will be here on Thursday.

You only played about half the demo. That part did a great job of showcasing the evolving combat during the main game. You constantly switch between 3 stances (Eidolons) and use their ability damage cooldowns.

On one hand I'm like "wow this is a truly impressive demo". I can't wait to play the retail game this weekend. The cinematics, HDR, and production design are all top notch. OTTH, I didn't get to see anything relevant in the way of equipment, hidden treasure, or how item drops and upgrading work. Those are key components to any RPG. If all those ground drops mean nothing then.....yeesh. So I'm a bit skeptical. When so much of the demo was cinema.

It's going to be kinda weird if the game takes an all-combat approach. That would make all the submenus and minutiae pointless. But I bet the game will be fantastic.

My only gripe was the fast, spinny camera panning and the lack of a minimap or compass. So you get disoriented and turned around easily, with little way to navigate. Other than that, the demo makes the game seem rather exceptional. The boss battles and set pieces are incredible.

Finally, I can remove Darkseid for Injustice 2 from my wish list.  Grabbed the MK11 Ultimate + Injustice 2 Legendary Edition for $10.  It was BS that the old Injustice 2 Ultimate Edition didn’t include him and he never went on sale.

Can someone tell me how much tales of arise is on this sale. I already bought it months ago so I can't see the price. Just wanna know how much I couldve saved
 
FF 16 is a blast so far but I hope they patch that frame rate because the dips are quite noticeable. Only other minor complaint is the annoying dog commands “Get ‘em boy!” . Wish you could turn those off, lol.

For what? Resolution mode? Frame rate was fine for me in the demo on performance

DF said they prioritise on having 60fps during combat and higher resolution outside of combat which why the fps drops outside of combat. Overall from the demo I couldn't tell that it was dropping tbh. I can say switching to 30fps quality was horrible.

Yeah, I didn’t think there was too much of an issue with the demo either but outside of combat in the full game, you’ll definitely notice some dips and a bit of stuttering here and there. As DF mentioned, combat itself is pretty smooth. No big deal just a bit of an annoyance at times. Some reviews, like Push Square, mentioned it as well.

I actually switched to quality for a bit and was impressed with how smooth it was. Almost was tempted to keep it there but ultimately went back to performance.

Ended up upgrading to the Deluxe edition of FF XVI since they had a few extras.  Now I have to deal with Gamestop customer service to try and get my pre-order codes since they canceled my regular pre-order.  Not a huge deal though.  

Oh, and they did have all of the pre-order bonus stuff in stock.  I was shocked.

Edit: Gamestop support was very helpful and got me a pre-order code for the digital items without any issues.  Again, shocking.

What all comes with the Deluxe Edition? All the Best Buy app is telling me is it comes with a cloth map, but that doesn't sound like $40 extra dollars.

Steelbook case and the cloth map. $30 difference from the regular edition. I had $25 in rewards to use at Gamestop, so I was alright for the upgrade.

Same for Best Buy, even though my game isn't here yet.

Ok thanks, I pre-ordered the Deluxe Edition at Gamestop but didn't get that stuff (just the little cloth patches) unless it was printed on the receipt.

Why though..? I grind some beans up every night before bed, put water in the coffee machine, and then set the timer to brew early in the morning. Four cups of perfect light roast every morning for pennies, and it takes less than five minutes of prep.

Calculate all the money wasted on stuff like starbucks per month and then become a next level cheapass.

YMMV

Stolen from SlickDeals, but Amazon currently has a promotion where if you spend 0.01 (or more) of your Chase Ultimate Rewards points you can get up to $60 off $120. I just preordered Pikmin 4 and Super Mario Bros. Wonder for $65 total with tax.

Streaming some Final Fantasy XVI if you want to see it in action.

Here's the archive, which starts around the end of the demo and has no spoilers. I'm enjoying this a lot so far. The story is pretty solid and very much influenced by the politics and intrigue of a Game of Thrones. The action is pretty well done and luckily not much like Devil May Cry at all. It definitely needs more accessibility options, especially for remapping the controls so I could have the dodge on O and move the dash to R1 at the least for my tastes. I'm curious to see how some of the early mysteries turn out. Definitely check out the demo to get the vibes of the game.
