Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Ghost of Tsushima?

Crimson_Ridley

I'm still in Act 1 but have been going around filling out the map and collecting everything I can.

I'd give it a very high 8, nearly a 9 so far. There's a few wonky animations, and while the world is stunningly beautiful, it starts to look a bit samey in places.

Of course, this is going off of the first area, and I'm more than open to adjust my score as I continue to play through.

Overall, it's a fantastic game and I'm incredibly happy with it!

Re: Dragon Quest XI S on PS4 Is a Switch Port, No Upgrade for Existing Dragon Quest XI Players

Crimson_Ridley

Oh... That is very disappointing. This was my game of the showcase, but knowing that the Switch version is probably the better one to just buy (designed to be played at lower resolutions with lower graphical fidelity), I think I'll get the original on PS4 and S on the Switch. I waited all this time for nothing. 😢

Then again, it might have a separate Trophy list, so 2 Platinums... Hmm...

Re: Ghost of Tsushima: What Difficulty Should You Select?

Crimson_Ridley

I'll certainly be playing through on Hard. I play every game on the hardest difficulty as most of my fun with games comes from challenging my abilities and learning the game to keep moving forward.

I can't see this game being more difficult than Dark Souls, and that game is just a case of pattern recognition more than anything.

Work is going to be the longest shift tomorrow!

Re: The Last of Us 2 Petition Demands Dramatic Story Alterations

Crimson_Ridley

I've just reached a part that a lot of people are unhappy about, and honestly I think it's pretty cool (about 15 hours in for those that have played up to and past this part).

You can clearly see how many people don't pay any attention to the game they're playing. Everything that the story has been thus far makes perfect sense to me, and I'm really looking forward to seeing more of it.

People are too damn entitled. It's that snowflake generation that were told they can have it their way their whole lives, deciding who can and can't do things. There are more important things in life than getting your own way all the time, and once you grow up and realise nobody owes you anything, you'll have a much greater understanding of the world around you.

You have no right to demand changes to someone else's creativity and work. You'd be the first to defend your own, so how dare you attack someone else's? Pathetic people. By all means review it, disagree with it and respect that it's not for you, but that's all you should do. You're no better than book burners.

Re: Report: PS5's Price Could Be $50 Cheaper if You Go for the Digital Edition

Crimson_Ridley

Save £50 and buy a console that locks me out of lending and borrowing games, makes buying Collector's Edition games more expensive (having to buy a digital version if the CE comes with a physical disc), and games cost more than they do in the shop?

Or spend an extra £50 to be able to buy physical and digital, and not be limited in any way, as well as being able to trade in my physical games if I wanted to?

Option 2 for me, please!

Re: UK Sales Charts: The Last of Us 2 Is Sony's Fastest Selling PS4 Game Ever in the UK

Crimson_Ridley

@Kafkaesque
Equally as interesting as you failing to mention it's only at a JB Hi-fi and is an isolated case (Edit: Also, there's no confirmation that it's just TLoU2, as the sign says "games" and other than hearsay from people saying it's only on that shelf, zero confirmation from the store). Many stores refuse to accept trade ins of games if they have too many, FIFA games and other sports titles, for example. But that's not relevant to your crusade is it? Do you have nothing better to do than follow this game around and moan about it? Just go enjoy the games you do like.

Oh look, it's all games.

Re: Gallery: FIFA 21 Looks Extraordinary in PS5 Screenshots

@AhmadSumadi
They crave the attention. It is the "in" thing to hate right now, so though they pretend they don't care, they need to keep it going to give them some meaning in life.

These people are probably the same people that say "So fed up, don't even want to talk about it" on Facebook, then requests every reply inboxes them. It's like oxygen to them.

Re: Gallery: FIFA 21 Looks Extraordinary in PS5 Screenshots

Crimson_Ridley

In the Anfield screenshot, the woman in the green jacket with the sleeves rolled up, to the left of the word Museum and facing towards the camera, is also in the crowd underneath the Liverpool emblem to the right, and again 3 people to the left of the first version of her. 😂

EDIT: Bloody hell, there's a 4th version of her further left to that, stood with her back to the camera!

Re: Random: Fans Are Going Crazy Over The Last of Us 2's Rope Physics

@Nepp67
I just don't see the reason not to be civil. The world is way too angry lately, and it seems like we've grown so accustomed to it that we actively seek out more things to be mad at.

I just like that we can have different opinions on something, voice those opinions, and not resort to attacking each other over them. It's refreshing, so thank you.

Re: Random: Fans Are Going Crazy Over The Last of Us 2's Rope Physics

Crimson_Ridley

@Nepp67
That's perfectly fine. I've been playing it for hours and I'm loving it! I know so many people believe an agenda is being pushed, and all that jazz, but that's just a reflection of their own personalities.

Regardless, that's neither here or there, and not important. You should come to your own conclusions, and if the game isn't for you, then just keep the first game in your heart and forget this one.

Re: Weirdness: Sony's Spider-Man PS5 Trailer Pulled from YouTube Due to Gameloft Copyright Claim

Crimson_Ridley

I used to feel that people sending those "send this to 10 people or you'll have bad luck" messages was the most annoying thing on the Internet. Now it's people spamming TLoU2 on articles that have absolutely nothing to do with it. Change the record, ya boring!

I find it incredibly amusing that a series that Sony has a lot of control over has been copyright flagged, although I'm sure I read a few years ago that UMG copyright claimed a music video from the official band signed to their label! 😂

Re: Random: Fans Are Going Crazy Over The Last of Us 2's Rope Physics

Crimson_Ridley

There is a little bit of clipping when they wrap it around the doorway and the window, as it clips in to the ground and through itself a little bit.

Still, it's incredibly impressive, as only a few years ago games couldn't get bedsheets to look right. 😂

Every game I play, I find the first mirror and see if there is a reflection. Needless to say, I was ecstatic when I saw the first mirror in this game! 😁

Re: Media Molecule Pays Tribute to The Last of Us 2 with Gorgeous Dreams Animation

Crimson_Ridley

That's awesome, and always nice to see other developers do this!

Side note, the Disintegration ad that is currently running is making articles incredibly tedious to read on mobile, gets stuck because it thinks you're trying to scroll through the bits on the ad itself, and even cuts in to the text at the top of this article. For me, the article starts "the game has finally released". Any chance you could look at this?

Re: Of Course The Last of Us 2 Is Being Review Bombed

Crimson_Ridley

@Kidfried Whilst I agree that some people feel excluded, it also happens to white, straight males. I've been called a girl for having long hair, I've been told I'm not manly for being sensitive and of a slim build, for example.

People also start to take it too far, and vilify us because we are what we are, and try and push that LGBT is what we should all be. There's trying to be included, and then there's excluding everyone else.

Just like you can argue there isn't enough representation, I can make the argument that it isn't exactly one-sided. I'm definitely not saying that everyone does this, but not everyone is trying to exclude you.

Re: Of Course The Last of Us 2 Is Being Review Bombed

Crimson_Ridley

If games are now scored based on story, why doesn't every multiplayer-only game get an instant 0? Story can factor in to enjoyment, but gameplay, mechanics and playability is the most important.

It's not up to you how a story is told, unless you wrote it. If the story contains elements that you don't agree with, voice those concerns but don't demand they change. Vote with your wallet. Review bombing does absolutely nothing, except make you look extremely childish.

I know there's going to be stuff in this one that I don't agree with, and I can perhaps see myself not replaying it as much as the first, but that's OK, because the first game hasn't gone anywhere. If I don't like it, I'll move on from the series and find something else. I don't like the new Final Fantasy games much, but that doesn't change my love for the old games, if anything, I appreciate them even more.
