Re: Review: Life Is Strange 2 - Episode 1: Roads (PS4)

@get2sammyb I dislike politics in general. It divides people so much, and all too often I see folks go out of their way to berate someone for as long as they can just for having a difference of opinionand are unwilling to just agree to disagree. Media, in my experience, has been extremely heavy-handed in trying to force the creators' political views down peoples' throats, and it annoys the crap out of me.

If others like the game even with those kind of overtones then more power to them, but this doesn't look like something I would personally enjoy.

Re: Microtransactions Described as 'An Unfortunate Reality' by NBA 2K19 Producer

CaptFloofers

It's only "an unfortunate reality" because that's how many major pubishers want it to be. They could just, you know, not do that. I understand that the main goal for a business is to make money, but when it gets to the point where "good enough" is no longer a viable concept, that's when it gets out of hand.

Also, this is coming from the company that wants people to tell their government to let them put gambling back in their game.

Re: Review: Shenmue I & II (PS4)

CaptFloofers

I've seen a few reviews for this, and I don't think I'm going to bite. If anything, it has gotten me interested in trying Yakuza, though with my backlog the way it is, it would still be a ways off before I played either of these in any case.

Re: Sounds Like It's Time for TimeSplitters 4 as Koch Media Acquires Licence

CaptFloofers

While I never owned any of the games myself, I did play TimeSplitters 2 with friends a lot and it was brilliant. Unfortunately, having become an old misanthrope that can't get excited for anything anymore, I don't trust the modern game industry enough to make a proper, good follow up. It'll more than likely be the same online multiplayer based shooter with microtransactions that we have been getting up to this point. I'd eventually be on board for a remastered trilogy, but that's about it.

Re: Review: SEGA Mega Drive Classics (PS4)

CaptFloofers

Seriously, what is up with Sega and Sonic 3+Knuckles? I don't think I've seen a release of that game since the DS based Sonic Classic Collection, and since then I think they've taken the games off the PSN for PS3, and while Sonic 1 and 2 get rereleases out the wazoo (complations such as this, mobile versions, those awesome 3DS ports), 3+K doesn't even get released as the component games!

Re: New SOMA PS4 Update Adds Safe Mode

CaptFloofers

I'll be completely honest, I'll probably play the game with safe mode. I realize this takes out the main point of horror games, but I'm not one who particularly enjoys playing horror games personally (I prefer to just watch others play them). I tried playing this game normally on two separate occasions and was too freaked out to continue.

Re: Poll: Where Do You Stand on Microtransactions?

CaptFloofers

I remember when I first was directly exposed to microtransactions with Mass Effect 3 and I tricked myself into thinking it was OK to drop more than 100 bucks total on in-game guns and such. Needless to say, I've learned my lesson, but even in the following years I was still hooked by season passes here and there. I don't really buy AAA games anymore (nothing these days seems to interest me anymore, i was even one of the odd ducks who couldn't get into Breath of the Wild and got rid of it without even finishing it) so I'm not really exposed to them outside of the odd mobile game I get. Even so, I'm not going to spend 60 bucks on a game and then spend even more money unless it's a major expansion or something. Free to play games are different, though. If I like the game and want to support it, I'll throw some money their way occasionally.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 181

CaptFloofers

I'm still currently mostly all in with regards to Final Fantasy XIV, but if I have any downtime I'm going to start up Dragon Warrior/Quest III (GBC version). I remember playing through a good chunk of that when I was younger but never really beat it, and outside of FFXIV I'm on a huge Dragon Quest kick right now. Even got my slime controller for the PS4!

Re: You Must Try Life Is Strange on PS4, PS3 Now It's Free

CaptFloofers

My friend and I Let's Played this game not too long ago. At first it was as a joke because this isn't normally the kind of game I like to play. Once Episode 2 was done I was hooked. The game is fantastic and to be honest, I'm not going to get the free first episode (we were playing my friend's copy), I fully intend to buy the physical disc at full cost to support the developers.

Re: PlayStation VR's Not Released Yet, But It's Already Sold Out

CaptFloofers

I have been thinking more about getting this, but it's mainly because I saw some folks on YouTube playing Job Simulator and I really want to play that. I'll probably wait until much later because it's totally not worth it just for one game (potentially two if Final Fantasy 14 works with it like they say it will ). I also wear glasses, so that may be an issue with this for me.
