Re: Random: YouTuber Exposed As Embargo Breaking Video Game Insider

What a sad weird world we live in where someone is willing to leak other peoples work and just outright lie to get strangers to look at their text.

Who cares dude you just spilled what a whole team of people have been working on for years over less than nothing. Round of applause for this dweeb.

Re: PlayStation Bites Back At 'Inadequate' Call of Duty Offer from Microsoft

I don’t understand all of the comparison to things like final fantasy or street fighter here. Yes, Sony could have let these games go multi platform and it would have been better for gamers. But we’re not talking about arcade fighters or RPGs here we’re talking about COD.

This is a game that the most casual of casual gamers buy yearly and could probably sell its own console. The other games make a difference, this is a franchise where exclusivity could define an entire platform. PlayStation is fighting with the timed and Japanese exclusives and Microsoft is dropping the hydrogen bomb with this one.

Dumb sh*t all around here but this one is a major coup by Phil.

Re: Soapbox: I Tried So Hard to Like Elden Ring, But I Just Couldn’t Do It

I always read your name as Graham Bananas and I love it.

Great read and as someone who has loved From since kings field I totally get it. You’re either pulled in by the oddities and the gameplay loop or you aren’t. I found Elden Ring to be really easy but I also punish myself with these games constantly so Elden Ring giving you so many outs as far as build and leveling made this a little pedantic. IMO Bloodborne is a very different and much better game, but that’s purely a matter of taste.

I also have to say the open world nature of this game was really very strange to me. I felt like it wanted me to explore but more often than not I either found absolutely nothing or a copy pasted boss with a spell I didn’t even have to stats to use. Still loved it but definitely felt a little stunted in that way.

Re: Reaction: Why You Shouldn't Worry About Sony's New Strategy

Ok but I still have the same question, why?? Statistically these things are failing at an absolutely bonkers clip and you’re talking about massive resources both financially and talent wise.

I understand not wanting to be left behind but the live service model has been wholly rejected by gamers in general. The massive ones are absolutely huge but there are 15 failures for every success.

Not hating and Sony are genius when it comes to new IP but wow this is bet the farm risky IMO.

Re: PS Plus Games for Asia Officially Confirmed

Rough list. Some seriously great titles here for sure but this is MUCH much less than they promised.

I’m assuming they meant 400 games over time or this year etc. or they will be adding more through the end of launch in late June

Re: Mini Review: Salt and Sacrifice (PS5) - Change Isn't Always Good in This Disappointing Sequel

Just got the plat in this Thursday. It was solid but not even close to Sanctuary.

My main issue was consistent stunlock from nearly every enemy. I was playing with a great sword and class 5 heavy armor and my character was bouncing around the screen like a nerf ball with no option to recover for about 30% of the game. This is with super high poise as well.

Overall hugely missed opportunity but I will say the combat, systems and super strange world/lore are still there and had me coming back regardless.

Re: Poll: Are You Sold on PS Plus Extra or Premium?

I’m gonna give them a year of premium and see what it does. Not a huge investment to play some ps1 and ps2 games in comfort and if it works out great, if not I’ll go back to essential next June.

They’re trying here so we should give them the benefit of the doubt that this won’t suck.
