Re: Poll: Is The Last of Us: Part 1 Really a 'Cash Grab'?

@NEStalgia "If you don't want to call it a cash grab, call it a very cynical exploitative, manipulative lowest common denominator abuse of a market made up of many with poor impulse control in one of the most egregious examples of media industry gouging in recent memory."

This is a great way to put it.

Re: Rumour: Red Dead Redemption 2 PS5 Version Also Ditched for GTA 6

@TheArt complaining about wanting a 60fps patch is entirely different to complaining a studio has made nothing new because they are remaking a game that has already had a remaster.

I would also imagine Rockstar has a lot more employees than ND, my local Rockstar studio has around 40 employees I believe, probably more than enough to work on a patch whilst the larger studios work on GTA 6

I'll leave it at that or we will descend into treading old ground from the story about TLOU

I'm gonna hazard a guess that if they are ditching everything to focus on GTA 6 the single player will be secondary to the online.

A bare bones single player experience that will probably try to shoehorn you into their online money maker at every given opportunity, all so as you get the biggest, best GTA experience ever.

That's if there even is a single player side to the game, although I expect they will be purely so as they don't miss out on those who they might sucker in.

Re: GTA 6 Needs to Exceed Players' Expectations, Rockstar Admits

10 years ago, or there about, mid 20s (ok late 20s) me was buzzing for GTA V. And yeah I bought it on PS3, XBone and PS5.

Now, can honestly say I'm not all that interested in the next installment and if it pushes towards an online/connected experience as the main guts of the game, that will rule it out for me.

And let's be honest, a lot of what made these games was the satire and parody, I think we are bordering on living in a world that is fast becoming a parody of itself in many respects. Be interested to see how they handle that, a more serious tone maybe?

Imagine getting that wound up by not finding out a release date of a game. It'll release when it releases. You'll buy it or you won't. The world will still turn, you'll still be taxed, life will go on.

The sense of entitlement some people have is just downright bizarre.

They don't owe you information and they don't work to your timeline.

Never gonna happen... But it would be hilarious if they just canned the project completely, imagine the scenes.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 433

Dudditz09

Pacman 256 (or whatever it's called) with the wee man, good for a wee break from bigger games and a fun little coop game.

Still working through GoT, about to have to clear out the Forge after saving Yuna's brother, just tidying up a few side quests and the like before doing that. Assume I'm nearing the end of Act 1 at this point but haven't really checked as don't want any spoilers.

Have been messing around with Empire of Sin as well, it's always interested me as I love this type of game but never pulled the trigger because of reviews. Happy it's on Extra so as I can give it a go, seems ok though I've not done very much at all.

Re: PS Plus Essential PS5, PS4 Games for July 2022 Announced

Happy with Crash, good it's the PS4 & 5 versions, means the wee man can get it on the PS4 as well.

MoM I had on my list of games to try on extra, not too fussed about the crossover with the potential to keep it if I down grade.

Multiplayer crap, as ever, will be ignored.

Happy enough with the month.

Re: PS Store Weekend Sale Live Now, PS5 Exclusives Included

Dudditz09

Yeah if I'm buying a game day one I know it's gonna be cheaper down the line... But I want it day one.

Wouldn't say I've been screwed over. If it went half price in the 1st few days yeah...

Your head needs a wobble if you think your being screwed over... Don't like the price? Wait for a drop.

Simple stuff.

Re: PS Plus Extra, Premium Now Live in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand

Dudditz09

So had a proper look throught this now, Extra tier.

Downloaded
GoT
Demon Souls
Guardians of the Galaxy
Empire of Sin (more out of curiosity than anything)
Stellaris (expect I won't get on with this too well as I play it on PC)
Tetris Effect
Terraria

On top of that we have Stray to come and there are about another dozen games that I would like to give a bash.

All the other heavy hitters I own already (Returnal, Miles Morales, Spiderman etc).

Depending on the quality added during refreshes I can see this being quite decent for the money, certainly I'm getting my money's worth as we start the service.

Was gonna get a quarterly next week when my sub runs out but might just fork out for the year and see how it goes

Not bad from Sony though IMO.
