Re: Rumour: This Might Be Assassin's Creed Red's Main Character

Agramonte

Did not care about Assassin's Creed Mirage.

"Back-to-basics approach" that basically translated to dated game mechanics and story telling - not something I have any nostalgia for.

Hopefully this gets back to what made me care again for AC with the last few modern games. That Art is a good start.

Not surprised. It is a fantastic game.

Narrative, characters, world, gameplay, voice acting, soundtrack... it is all in the package. They did a great job.

FF16, Starfield, Phantom Liberty, Baldur's Gate 3, SM2. These are the digital experiences that keep me in gaming. At this point, mindlessly running forward in a Crayola 2D world and jumping to collect stuff is simply not enough.

Re: September 2023 Circana: PS5 Still on Top Despite Chart-Topping Starfield

Agramonte

Not surprised. Starfield was Day 1 for me, and Loved it. Played it on PC Game Pass so I do not count as a sale - makes #1 even more impressive.

I did pay for the upgrade. Playing it for $10 seemed criminal, even if legal.

But that does not change the fact that the PS5 is the best console right now. You buy a PS5 first... and go from there.

Re: Alan Wake 2 Is Over 20 Hours Long as Remedy Makes Its Biggest Game Yet

Agramonte

Sounds great. Already pre-ordered. Remedy is one of my fav developers.

But Digital only games I only buy for PC. Reason I have a console is for the option of Renting or Selling my full price Day 1 games. Consoles loose value if not an option. How I keep cost down.

If paying full price for digital, rather keep it on PC and not risk Nintendo/Sony/Microsoft deciding if get to keep my collection or not.

Re: UK Sales Charts: Starfield Soars While Mortal Kombat Hype Brings Back 11

Agramonte

Not surprised, loving Starfield so far. If you into Space and exploration, the game is a dream.

That said... there is still no Aloy or Kratos or Ellie or Drake or Morales. You are basically controlling a cardboard cut out as things happen around you (even JEDI and Mass Effect gave you more of a sense of being part of a crew you care about as a unit)

The Sony magic of creating a narrative around central characters that elevates a story/world beyond what it actually merits (SE nailed it also with FFXVI) is nowhere to be seen here.

Re: Baldur's Gate 3 PS5 Is Comparable to Ultra Settings on PC, But There's Room for Improvement

@Northern_munkey

Even worse. Now not only dealing with Windows but also stepping in as tech support. No point in building a rig "just as powerful as a PS5" in my book

People complain about the PS5 size and design but now lets pretend some POS budget YouTube PC build is an option. End up with some Circa 1990 ATX Mid-Tower tub in the living room.

If PC budget is $400, buy a PS5.

Re: PS5's Remote Play Handheld PS Portal Releases on 15th November

Chiaki is not great on Steamdeck (screen goes blank randomly)

I'll probably just get it. Wait until Bestbuy has it, I am sitting on tons of rewards points.

But I really would just want to use my Steamdeck for everything at this point. Rather Sony Just update the Windows app with SteamDeck support.
