Re: Elden Ring's Platinum Trophy Stat Is Shockingly High

This is by far the easiest Fromsoft plat out there. You basically have to beat every major boss and follow a guide for legendary items. As far as I know there’s one boss and item that are even missable.

In a game where you have spirit ashes and people constantly available to summon in… this isn’t really a tough one after you get used to the gameplay.

Re: Nobody Saves the World Seemingly Primed for PS5 Release

Colour

I really want to play this thing!! Since the file size is already there and it isn’t some random Korean ratings board hopefully this is imminent.

Maybe a day one with Spartacus since this launched on gamepass? Probably financially in Sony’s wheelhouse as a solid starter to see how subs react.

Re: Xbox Game Pass Inspired PS Plus Reboot Reveal Rumoured with Splashy Lineup of Games

Colour

@Snake_V5 There are a few reasons. One is Microsoft has their hands in so many cookie jars that Xbox is the bully no matter what. Like most businesses when the big box comes to town they will just nuke your price and lose money until you have to take your ball and go home. They have deeper pockets so you’re losing from jump street.

Two is peoples misconception of what Sony is actually worth in relation to Microsoft. They obviously dominate in movies and music as well but their technology footprint keeps getting lighter and can’t live off massive globally sourced government contracts for software/hardware/R&D.

They can never and will never compete with Microsoft financially so these are the things that we as consumers have to support to keep them around or take the value proposition and move to xbox for day and date titles.

Re: Xbox Game Pass Inspired PS Plus Reboot Reveal Rumoured with Splashy Lineup of Games

This is Sony’s Kobayashi Maru. It’s going to be billed as a gamepass competitor whether they want it to or not and they’ve already said multiple times that model isn’t sustainable.

My prediction is it’s solid, gives us old games a lot of us have been dying to play (hopefully real old with trophy support but that’s a pipe dream) and we get much better bang for our monthly buck. People still riot anyway.

Re: Suicide Squad PS5 Will Not Kill the Justice League Until 2023

Colour

They already would have been over 6 years out so taking the time to make the best possible game is good for everyone.

Unpopular opinion but I could still see Hogwarts getting delayed by mid to end of summer. Those rumors came from somewhere and while the state of play was obviously polished as hell, the pandemic must have crushed a lot of these teams and we haven’t really felt that yet.

Re: Timeless PS3 Title Journey Is 10 Years Old Today

Colour

I truly believe that this is the title that ended the “indie” game conversation. Regardless of studio size making something impactful is about vision just like music, movies, visual art etc. and gaming wasn’t getting that kind of recognition (guess you could argue it isn’t too much better now)

Regardless of your opinion on this game it was an experience and that is awesome.

Re: Distressing Horror Martha Is Dead Censored on PS5, PS4

Colour

I think it’s the scalping scene from what I see online.

As stupid as this sounds with the MK argument it’s context. Mortal Kombat is seen as this hyper violent cartoon with over the top violence that has somehow become normalized. This is a slow paced horror that relishes in this horrible stuff so you get something completely different from it sensory wise.

Either way this is dumb.

Re: Sifu Updates to Include Difficulty Settings and Accessibility Options

Colour

This game would be really weird with an easy mode. Loving it so far but if they want the average gamer, let alone someone with a disability, to enjoy this that’s the only option. I just can’t imagine the short scale content would seem reasonable without consistent repetition.

So far Sifu has been f**king brutal.

Re: Square Enix Reveals New Final Fantasy VII Anniversary Logos, Hopes You're 'Ready for the Year Ahead'

Colour

Got this day one and couldn’t get enough. Played through it entirely when a friend told me about Vincent, Yuffie, Emerald & Ruby and Knights of the Round. Immediately dug my feet in and played the whole thing over again.

It’s sad to realize how jaded we become as adults arguing about game pass and NFT’s but i know I’ll never be that excited about a video game again.

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

Colour

Sony would do their own version of gamepass lightyears before they even whispered this in a board meeting.

Article gets it exactly right, Sony’s entire model is based on software and subscription services. Gamepass would eat into their bottom line tremendously and Microsoft would have to give them a post 50/50 deal to even start this conversation.

The idea people have that this is coming or should be makes no sense UNLESS Microsoft pins Sony down so hard in the future that they have to allow it on PlayStation platforms to survive.

Re: Microsoft Buys Call of Duty Publisher Activision Blizzard

Colour

This is business 101 man, if you can’t beat them buy up every market segment they sell in and wait until they rot.

Hate to say it but COD alone is going to cause an extreme shift in hardware sales by this time next year. This could be a day we’re talking about with serious disdain in 10 years time.

Re: Xbox Boss Reacts to PS Plus, PS Now Rumours, Says It's the 'Right Answer'

Colour

I think the reality is only Microsoft can afford this model. While Sony can certainly afford to offer far more than what’s on PS Plus lately it would be insane to think they have the money that Microsoft does, especially looking at government contracts they hold globally.

As long as we have good value for the money people will buy, they may cry initially but anything is better than the current model. I’m setting the expectations low and hoping for the best. It’s probably better we don’t all start rooting for a race to the bottom here and end up with trash.

Re: Soapbox: Sony's Bet on PSVR2 Is Brave and That's a Brilliant Thing

Colour

This was a great piece and I agree with all of it. I think without innovation things will always become stagnant.

They certainly do have to deal with the fact that no one can buy a ps5 to this day and Gamepass is getting more powerful but we’re talking about one of the biggest tech giants in the world. They could hire hundreds if not thousands of people to deal with each of those problems individually easy.

Re: Days Gone Also Sold Over 8 Million Copies on PS4, Claims Director

Colour

I honestly thought this one deserved a fleshed out sequel. It definitely had some generic moments but overall it was fun and the horde mechanic was very cool.

Another entry could easily have been more of the same but even at 8 million you should have let them try. That’s a pretty rare crack at an established fan base and a better game that Microsoft would likely kill for in their current first party lineup.

Re: Game of the Year: #6 - Hades

Colour

Loved Returnal but the repetition of this game turned me off after a while. Beautiful and plays like a dream but something about the core gameplay got stale.

Pyre was better, pelt me with garbage now.

Re: Sony Reportedly Acquiring Minority Stake in Publisher Devolver Digital

Colour

This is a good idea. If nothing else games like Loop Hero and Inscryption that generate buzz will actually come to PlayStation. Devolver has done an excellent job finding great indie games but so few are platform agnostic. This may be a way to incentivize them to get these titles on PlayStation day and date from the more PC focused developers.

PS We all want Inscryption on PlayStation, it really is that good. And weird.

Re: PS4 Exclusive God of War Releasing on PC in January

Colour

It’s so dumb that people get up in arms about this stuff. “You’re making PlayStation obsolete!!” Yeah man all you have to do now is wait 3 years to play a game most of us couldn’t wait 3 days to play. If you’re down to wait that’s awesome but you’re an extreme minority here.
