Re: Cyberpunk Shooter-RPG The Ascent Guns for March Release Date on PS5, PS4

It's not great. It looks good but its about as generic a cyberpunk world you can get. The plot and characters could be torn from a cyberpunk-101 writing manual. Gameplay gets boring very fast with endless trash mobs and more padding than fat-suit, especially in the second half. I wanted to love this game as I love both Ruiner and Diablo but this was straight up generic tier trash.

Re: Talking Point: In Theory, Could Xbox Game Pass Come to PS5, PS4?

AgentMantis

Microsoft's product this gen is gamepass, the series x/s exist to showcase it. If they openly stated they want to bring it to Playstation they'll have backed Sony into a corner, plenty of PS gamers would be furious if they turned it down. Once they've hooked most of the market you can guarantee all the ridiculous deals they are always offering on the price of subscription will vanish.

Re: Battlefield 2042 Could Potentially Go Free-to-Play After Poor Performance on PS5, PS4

The specialists break what battlefield was about. Everyone working in a fireteam had a defined role and was easily identifiable by how they looked. Now no one is really sure who does what and solo 'hero' play is the default. It also feels like the trailer with all the crazy stuff happening is only achievable by only the highest ability players, everyone else just exists for them to rack up their kills and make them look fantastic on their streams

Re: Poll: 10 Years Later, What Are Your Thoughts on Skyrim?

AgentMantis

I bought it on release and loved it. It wasn't perfect, the main plot is dire and, outside of memes, it's characters are pretty forgettable but few games match it's sense of discovery. I played the ps4 re-release and wasn't as keen, its just not aged particularly well, especially when held up against The Witcher 3.

Re: Codemasters' 'Biggest and Most Ambitious Game in Over a Decade' in Development at DIRT 5 Dev

Something with more meat on it than dirt 5! Ditch the tacky gymkhana modes and focus on making the sp campaign more than padding. The biggest issue I have with dirt is how faceless each track and car is, they need to learn how to make each race and actual 'event' and each car more than c-s stats. I enjoyed d5 but it feels like a game from 10 years ago and takes absolutely no risks with the genre.
