Metaphor ReFantazio is a MUST BUY!

Ubisoft fucking every release of the year: 😭 Atlus not knowing how to make a bad game: 🗿

[@TheCollective1]

Never had a truer statement ever been produced. Bravo my friend. You have unlocked the pin of greatness! 📍

[@nicholasnajibi3082]

Ubisoft is amazing. You are falling for trends. Meanwhile, CD project red bent you over and fucked you so hard with the biggest jack move in game history and now you guys still want more. KZbin Generation gamers do not know shit….. unless KZbin told them to play it or say it. 😂

[@TheCollective1]

That’s a big no for me boss. Ubisoft has been giving us the same game for 10+ years now and it’s a shame really. They tried to do the same thing and reskin assassins creed with Star Wars and it bombed.

[@TheCollective1]

And you’re right about cd project but they at least made things right and a lot of people enjoy cyberpunk now!

Shout out to the first homie character not being a super loud doofus hothead. Ngl, his energy kind of feels like Dimitri from three houses so we'll see how that goes

[@TheCollective1]

Facts lol! And if his story is anything like Dimitri, we are in for a huge treat!!

[@fantasyfinal89]

OMG I love Dimitri lol

[@TheCollective1]

Same! He was kinda square at first but holy cow did he turn into a badass in the second half of the game!!

[@elbuglione]

This game was not even in my radar weeks ago... Today, I'm commenced they will be a strong GOTY contender.

[@TheCollective1]

I’m not gonna lie. This game has the most potential to be a sleeper hit! like it almost came out of nowhere! If it wins game of the year, I wouldn’t be mad at that!

[@DubiousGamingOnline]

Preordered it after playing a half hour of the demo. Looks really good.

[@TheCollective1]

Yes I’m definitely loving the game! I’m glad we only have to wait 8 days to play this bad boy!

YEAH! Go for it, Atlus is PEAK right now with releasing 4 bangers this year (alongside Persona 3 Reload, Unicorn Overlord, and SMT V Vengeance).

[@TheCollective1]

Dang you are so right! They are absolutely crushing it this year!!

[@MatthewFerguson-k5s]

"So the story starts out like this. You're some dude with blue hair..." That's like 90% of the JRPGs I've played in the last five years hahaha. Awesome vid, I really want to check this out now

[@TheCollective1]

Do you know as I was saying that I literally realized that that is most JRPG’s is at this point! Very unfortunate but very true! 😭😭😭

[@zenwuu]

Okay dood you have gotten my attention ^_^ Persona 5 was my first and i really enjoyed it. Havn't touched any of the other games but was eyeballing Shin. Might pre order and try this instead. I'm a big medieval fantasy person so thing this is right for me. Music is amazing lol love the opera singers and instruments, very epic

[@TheCollective1]

That’s awesome! This game literally is persona but medieval so you’re gonna love it!! Plus the music is top notch and the characters are pretty cool too!

[@michaeltsang1748]

I love the archetype system a lot. It gives us a lot of freedom with team building. I also like the Synthesis skills and their strategic element.

[@TheCollective1]

Exactly. It’s fairly easy to get into but at the same time it gets really complex! Atlus is excellent at this!

[@unclaimed8953]

Collector’s is back in stock on amazon, in case someone had not noticed.

[@TheCollective1]

LETS FREAKING GO!!! Thanks so much, I just preordered mine!

[@AquaTwist_]

I’m gonna stream the game tonight and I’m excited to try it out! Great video as always Fermin! 🎉

[@TheCollective1]

Thanks bro and yeah, you’re gonna love again. It’s pretty awesome! I’ll be tuning into your stream too!

[@mexabeard4497]

Honestly they don’t know how because all of the games are the same but different. They are masters on that rpg turn base formula that always works! They literally every time re-use the perfect mechanics and implement new ones + a new jaw breaking story and new animation and stuff like that. Honestly they have master that and we love it. I hope they don’t loose their identity like other gaming companies that used to be good and now they are ass. Ahem Ubisoft ahem. Tbh this game feels like and looks like it’s going to be a banger. $70 well spend here.

[@TheCollective1]

Some facts being spoken right here. That’s what I love about them too. They truly want to make the best jrpg ever made every time they make a game and you can feel it! I’d definitely give it GOTY honestly!

[@Ibear1123]

I already pre ordered after I played the demo at AX. Now we just gotta wait for the release date.

[@TheCollective1]

I think we’re 8 days away! It might be a little longer for me since I preordered the limited edition. 😭

[@theramenspot]

Alright I'm sold lol. Great vid, gotta try this one now

[@TheCollective1]

Haha! Glad I could help! What part sold you?

[@theramenspot]

@TheCollective1 to be real with you, the sincerity of your delivery lol. Some people sound like they don't even believe the ish they say, but you talk about Atlas and the monster designs and the racism in the story and the battle system with such enthusiasm, and I can appreciate that

[@TheCollective1]

[@hrtlsmoe]

Added to my wishlist from earlier in the year, but didn't consume any content on it, just looked great from the presentation. Now it's either sparkling zero or this, and I choose the latter.

[@TheCollective1]

Uuuuffff that’s a tough one! I kinda feel like Metaphor is winning for me but damn. Both of those games are equally as awesome! 👏🏾

[@outrightflame4280]

I already knew this game was for me because right of the start of this game I was getting massive Fire Emblem vibes kinda funny cause the protagonist literally looks like Marth

[@TheCollective1]

[@lite4998]

@@TheCollective1 I've been a fan of Atlus games for years, so I can bear with it, but all the people I've spoken to about Metaphor that haven't played any Atlus games have been turned off by the protagonist's design. Guys just like to play as chads. That's their (re)fantasy. And there is nothing wrong with that... So yeah, Atlus kinda shot themselves in the foot a little with the design.

[@TheCollective1]

Seriously! Honestly I feel like they’re trying to target the ladies with main character looking like that, and it sucks but at least the game is awesome!

Yo that’s hilarious! And yeah the game is definitely not for everyone, but I do think the story will stand on its own compared to the persona games.
