Quick Links Few JRPGs command such robust devotion asChrono Trigger. We cannot name a single representative of the genre prior to Chrono Trigger’s 1995 SNES debut that is so nigh-universally beloved - not even titans of the era like Final Fantasy 6 and Secret of Mana.

Yakuzafans really aren’t happy thatxQcwas chosen to show offLike A Dragon: Infinite Wealthbefore its launch, with many pointing out his lack of interest and familiarity with the series.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice Leaguehas a bit of a mountain to climb when it comes to the public’s perception of the game. Not only do fans despise the direction that Rocksteady has taken the series, with two big sticking points beingthe new Poison Ivyand treatment of certain DC characters, but the fact that it’s been marketed as a live-service title has soured many fans on the entire thing. There was always the hope that positive previews of the title could steer the game away from a potentially dismal release day, but newly released gameplay footage byIGNhas almost every fan making the same point - the UI looks extremely cluttered....
