Re: Talking Point: Do You Read All the Crap in Games?

DragonSlayer1759

I tend to read some early on in the game, but then the interest wains and i stop. If there was a trophy for reading them all it would be different. In some games though, its in your interest to at least open the book as it may initiate a mission, take Skyrim and The witcher 3 for example.

Re: Poll: Did You Buy Kena: Bridge of Spirits?

DragonSlayer1759

I always did have high hopes for this game, but, it has exceeded those hopes. Beautiful to look at, but thats not all it has to offer.
Combat is great especially as the bosses get harder later on. Dont play it on story mode though, its to easy.
The game mechanics are great and inventive in places. Its no simple game for kids.
This could well have been a game of the year contender if it had been a little longer. For a developers first video game, it is terrific. 10/10 for me.

Re: Blue Box Game Studios Apologises for Misjudged Silent Hill Message

DragonSlayer1759

OK, here is my take. Konami own the Silent Hill franchise. Konami and Kojima fall out big time. Kojima wants to do another S.H. game. Kojima goes under cover with Blue Point games. Blue point games does a S.H. style game in all but title so that Konami would have to prove copyright in the courts.
This game may be actually called something different to Silent Hill but it will in every other way still be a Silent Hill game.

Re: Poll: What Was Your Favourite PS5, PS4 Game at E3 2021?

DragonSlayer1759

Looking at those results its clear that there are no really mind grabbing games there. Elder Ring looks good but it seems like yet another Souls type game. The others all look kind of meh. I am looking forward to Far Cry 6 as it is my sort of game, but it is hardly original. Avatar looks interesting though.

Re: Poll: Is PlayStation Losing Ground to Xbox?

DragonSlayer1759

Xbox is doing well at the moment.
I got the PS5 at launch and never really considered getting a series X or S. But now with having played the PS5 exclusives, I've run out of games I want to play.
Xbox's purchase of Bethesda impressed me as I like the Elder Scrolls and Fallout franchises. The game pass system works well (although not free) and makes the multiplats a lot cheaper.
So i have now got myself a series X and find myself using the Xbox more than the PS5, which I will be using mainly for the PS exclusives only. Until the PlayStation come up with a GamePass like alternative, this is likely to continue. Unless Xbox raise the price to an unacceptable level that is of course.

Re: Future Bethesda Games Will Ship 'Where Game Pass Exists'

DragonSlayer1759

Oh well, i will be getting a series X then. But only when the new games come out, which will be years yet i think.
I love the Elder Scrolls series the best, Fallout is good aswell, and Starfield will not be exclusive as im sure there is a contractual agreement already in place on that one for it to go to Playstation aswell.
The rest of Bethesda games dont interest me much.
Im sure Sony will now get a couple of developers to concentrate on making those RPG style games, as that is where
they will be lacking a bit.

Re: We May Learn What the Future Holds for Bethesda Next Month

DragonSlayer1759

Im expecting all of Bethesda games will be exclusive to the xbox.
Surely it would be in their interests if xbox are serious about the console market. I for one would by the series x if either Starfield, Fallout or importantly to me, the Elder Scrolls, became xbox exclusives. I dont think them making those games timed exclusive would have the same effect, as i would probably wait for them to come to PS5.

Re: PGA Tour 2K21 Makes the Fairway with Over 2 Million Sales

DragonSlayer1759

I think it sold fairly well due to it being the only real golf sim there is. I personally think its rubbish. It looks the same as the old Tiger Woods games did years ago. It should look far better with the power of the new consoles.
Forget the create you own courses and concentrate on the basic game. I far preferred the old set up of Tiger Woods golf games. Its almost as bad as the newish Snooker game.

Re: Assassin's Creed Valhalla Will Have 'Stronger and Longer' Post-Launch Support than Odyssey

DragonSlayer1759

I just finished the main quest and the killed the Father. I also got Excaliber and Thors hammer.
It took me 210 hours of gameplay. Even then i didnt get the platinum trophy.
I actually enjoyed the piles of stones things, the dice games and some of the mystery things. The Flyting bits were stupid and as for chasing those bloody tattoos around the place, the less said the better.
All in all i enjoyed it, but the lips not moving glitch need sorting. I didnt come across any game affecting glitches apart from that, no problems opening chests or anything.

Re: Poll: Do You Have a PS5?

DragonSlayer1759

Got mine at launch, i was really lucky. I dont think they will be readily available till later this year.
This is really bad news and will end in many PS5 only games being delayed as developers wait for the numbers of consoles to increase.

Re: Poll: Is Cyberpunk 2077's Poor PS4 Performance Acceptable?

DragonSlayer1759

I had already decided to wait until the ps5 version was released. From what ive seen on you tube, the current version is awful.
So much for Project Red being the best thing since Rockstar. It was obvious that P.R. new of most of the issues when they banned all reviews except for the PC version. This makes them more like Bethesda, crap.

Re: Feature: Our PS5 Impressions After One Weekend of Play

DragonSlayer1759

Im loving it so far. The only gripe ive got is the same as with the ps4. The consoles LED colouring system. Orange = in rest mode, Blue = powering up, White = running. I would have preferred to use the Blue colour more as its Blue that represents Playstation. But that's just a minor 'Taste' thing with me.
I've got the Platinum trophy on Astrobot, which was a bundle of laughs and reminds me of all the fun games of times past.
Im playing Assassins Creed Odyssey (ps4 game) at the moment and it runs perfectly with rebirth speeds improved.
All in all really loving it.

Re: Poll: Did You Get a PS5?

DragonSlayer1759

Got mine this morning (friday) delivered by Yodel on behalf of Game. After all the stress of actually getting a PS5 im really enjoying it so far. The menus took a little time to get used to. I think the UI will change as time goes on, as i can find a way to personalise anything. Playing Astrobot at the moment. Really good fun for what it is. No issues at the moment.
