Thats sad to hear. I still have it on my backlog.

With that said, alot of people said terrible things about SO4 and i enjoyed that.

The whole problem with this series was SO3, wich destroyed the continuity and their insistance in making prequals when they know they have been ruined by the plot of SO3. Both SO4 and SO5 are meaningless stories. While it was enjoyable to play 4 aswell and i am yet to play 5.
They have to fix the mess they made with SO3. The series will never recover while that is a thing.

With that said, i hope the series continues, because i like sci-fi RPG's (even if mixed with some fantasy).

Well maybe I am wrong but I thought it was a budget title and it feels that way. Short and sometimes it tries to make the game longer in a cheap one....Go to B...ok you are their now go back to A...the sidequest mostly the bounties that you can do can get boring and while I enjoyed unlocking skills it is not worth the trouble.

In my opinion get tales of berseria instead of SO5 I think it is better in every aspect.

It was made on a tiny budget is what went wrong. That explains why it lacked cutscenes, presentation was mediocre, had a small world and was overall a short game.

I mean it's not really hard to figure out why it turned out the way it did.

Excellent music tho

Lack of curscenes? U kidding that is a good thing. Who wants boring ass cutscenes anyway? The gameplay is what matters!!!

If i hadnt my ps4 thrown into the ocean i sure would buy it. Hopefully pc version still cumin!  

Thing is that's not true, last night I saw through a 10 minute one, not much happened in it as it was, well, budgetted. It was like a space battle but you only saw from inside the good guys command deck. ME:A would have the entire space battle.

Only ever played 4.

I enjoyed it. Felt like an RPG star trek or something. You know exploring new worlds.

But not once did 5 ever get on my radar. Anything I ever saw regarding it just looked bad.

I'm in the minority as I liked it, except those battles were if one character died you failed and all the enemies blitzed that character.

SO4 issues I think come from mainly the 360 version. It's multiple discs and it's set up so poorly. In JRPGs of the past some big event would happen to trigger a disc change. SO4 you would just be walking and suddenly triggered to change discs. You do and walk 5 feet backwards and triggered to change discs again. 360 was much more popular than pS3 at that time so how most people experienced the game. So now people often say play the international version on PS3. In a way it's like how people hated Bayonetta but only because they played it on PS3.

GAME have it for £13.85 (used), then used some GAME credit I'd saved. If you don't mind buying it used anyway.

EDIT: Had it for £13.85... website price has gone up but I got it from a store. I got it last Friday.

And here I wanted to try it because I never played a Star Ocean before...
