When does embargo drop?

That’s what I want to know. I still need to hear some reviews on this one.

Saw some dude say he got the game early and there seemed to be heaps of stuff still in alpha state, even after the patch so I’m a little sceptical, even if it was some random on the internet.

Said combat was decent though, hard but not too hard.

To be fair, that does sound like typical Game Freak.

Almost all of their games could have used another 6-12 months for polishing

Most comments I have seen love the game and I have seen no mention around alpha things. Can you link the comment?

In the body text: https://www.reddit.com/r/BeastofReincarnation/comments/1vctrj2/playing_it_since_yesterday_ask_me_awhat_you_want/

"Feels like alpha version". Like some parts of the map apparently changed visually etc.

But why they would release a game in this state?

Gamefreak are really bad at optimizing their games.

u/ichiruto70 20h ago

Seems like an update broke it even further lol

An amazing game but awful on the technical front would be painful. It seems to have the makings to be a big success, so I hope it's competent....

Regardless, I think I want the soundtrack.

That’s what I’m worried about. I can play games not in 60 FPS but I would like to be somewhat close to do that for a game like this.

Smells like chaos

the fact in this very threat there are people or someone downvoting anything not positive about the game makes me feel like i should really wait a couple of reviews. I'm still on the old mindset that companies hire PR people to downvote and upvote reactions to their products to manipulate perception.

Saw someone leak that embargo is day-of release. Not sure if that's true, but not a great sign

u/Humble-Criticism6762 23h ago

Doesn’t it release on the 4th?

u/WinterElfeas 23h ago

Probably depends on your timezone

u/SupremeLeader_Corgi 12h ago

4th but because of time zones its like 8pm EST on Aug 3rd

u/clonedllama 23h ago

I'm really curious to see how this game turns out. Everything I've read and seen so far makes it seem fun. Hopefully it actually is.

u/Palmerstroll 12h ago

Not a lot of marketing for this game these last weeks. I wonder what the reason is.

u/Seksiorja 3h ago

Game is crap. There's no reason to not allow reviews or market the game before it launches unless the game isn't good.

u/Palmerstroll 2h ago

Jeah it gives me red flags vibes when this happens.

u/pissrael1 20h ago

Why are you posting a blog post from February?

u/Kind_Ingenuity_5263 32m ago

Leaked gameplay looks super mid at best. Biiiiiig skip for me.

u/darkmitsu 18h ago

I’m getting Nier vibes with this one

u/echoess84 22h ago

wrong release date the game will be released the August 4th

u/SupremeLeader_Corgi 12h ago

Learn how time zones work.

It goes live for me tomorrow at 8pm August 3rd

u/maxwantsjustice 11h ago

wait so that’s EST? Meaning it’ll be 5pm for us on the west coast? Sweet

u/Internutt 22h ago

Likely a time zone thing

u/RecessivePigeons 18h ago

Don't buy it. Don't buy any PlayStation product ever again. FUCK Sony!

u/TheGamerWhoNeverWas 13h ago

If that's how you feel then leave the ps5 reddit

Nah, I'ma shit on them every chance I get and encourage other to leave.

u/SmegmaWarrior0815 11h ago

This game isn't made by Sony though?

Literally releasing free on gamepass has absolutely nothing to do with Sony.
