Re: All Nioh 2 Owners to Get Free Armour to Celebrate PS5 Release

Eadgar

@ThaBEN Yes, this franchise is part of the "souls" genre of games. Though it does have differences, the biggest one in my opinion being the combat and overall speed. Nioh's combat is vastly superior to that of any Dark Souls, and it is also faster. Excellent games and you sould definitely give them a try if you have not.

Re: Folklore Horror Game Mundaun Dated for March 2021 on PS5, PS4

Eadgar

@AhmadSumadi I would be interested to find out who, if anyone, has the rights to the title. I know the studio that developed the game is no more, but I wonder if Sony has the rights to the title.

I still have my PS3 copy and you know what, i will do a playthrough this year for the first time in a long time.

Re: Cyberpunk 2077 on PS4 Is Being Slaughtered By Metacritic Users

Eadgar

We should all wait for the dedicated PS5 version. A real shame, but they should of canceled the console versions (pre-PS5) and focused on the PC version.

Of course that is a ludicrous statement I have made since they would be neglecting a gigantic user install base but, I feel the game would of been better for it.

Re: Rumour: PS5 Shooter Returnal May Be Launching 19th March

Eadgar

I am currently playing Matterfall on my PS4 Pro, made by the same development team. It is really fun. I am just ashamed I did not buy it when it was originally released to make sure the developers received the message that there is definitely a market out there for games like Matterfall.

I also have Nex Macchina but have yet to play it. But I will after Matterfall.

I definitely want to support this development studio with Returnal but I have no PS5, and do not plan on getting one until late 2021 or the year 2022. Hoping the games does well for them.

Re: Soapbox: PS5 Is Pushing Me Ever Closer to All-Digital

Eadgar

Same for me. When I buy a PS5, I will buy a disc-based PS5, just to play my entire PS4 library, which is primarily physical. I would say my entire PS4 library is 98% physical, bar a few games, and have well over 50 PS4 games.

But I plan on transitioning to digital with the PS5. We shall see how things go in a few years.

Re: The Nioh Collection Remasters Both Games for PS5, Coming February 2021

Eadgar

Nioh is my favorite experience from the PlayStation IV era. This was the game that helped me understand the "souls' genre, and I have been addicted to it since.

I also own Nioh II since launch and still have it sealed because I am trying to cut down my backlog, so I have yet to play it.

Great time to experience these games for those who have yet to experience them, I highly recommend them.

The combat system is superior to any of the pioneering Souls games, since it is faster and more intuitive, at least in my honest opinion.

Re: Rumour: PS5's Deathloop Starts Over on 21st May

Eadgar

My favorite studio from Bethesda, love the Dishonored franchise, it is bloody brilliant.

It is a well known as sad fact that a lot of Arkane games were critical successes, but not commercial successes unfortunately. Which is a shame since a lot of gamers are missing out on some gems.

I am definitely looking forward to this one since like was said in the article, could be the swan song for the studio on Sony platforms. I will wish them well, however.

Re: Poll: What PS5 Launch Games Will You Buy?

Eadgar

Not getting a PS5 at launch unfortunately, but if I were, I would of bought Demon's Souls, Godfall, and Destruction All-Stars (to support the Liverpool and UK based developer), but since that will be free come February, Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition will take its place.

Have fun to everyone lucky and fortunate enough to enjoy the console in launch. Enjoy.

Re: Goal Machine Robert Lewandowski Has a PS5, Maybe

Eadgar

Great player. Also seems very humble. Would of loved to have seen him in Liverpool red but I am glad he has had a great career in the Bundesliga (which is my second favorite league to follow after the Premier League).

All the best for the PS5 in its early years as well as for its early adopters.

Re: Ubisoft Connect Detailed, Replaces Ubisoft Club, Uplay, and Other Services

Eadgar

Never have tried this Ubi "ecosystem," nor have I ever tried the EA "ecosystem." But this certainly intrigues me from the standpoint of if, and when, more third party publishers will do these "ecosystem" type maneuvers. I can name a few publishers that have the history, catalog, and name recognition, to intent and make an "ecosystem" of their own. The future of gaming is going to be intriguing.

Re: Have a Gander at the New PS Store for Web Browsers

Eadgar

@MarcG420 Yes, I know that and in the grand scheme of things it is no big deal. It is just that the vast majority of the time the PS3 store frezzes. Not sure if it is just me with the problem but I do not think I am. It was far easier and simpler to buy games or dlc from the web, which is what I would do.

I do disagree with your second point however. I do not think Sony should ever shut down the PS3 store. People still play on said console and will continue to do so for the immediate future, particularly those without the means to upgrade or those in countries where the cost to upgrade is too steep. I do not think it is hard for Sony to maintain the PS3 store front. So a complete shutdown of it should never be in question.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 346

Eadgar

@KingPev Really enjoying it. I love the series, the first two were great games, in the action-adventure genre. I was expecting Darksiders III to be similar, but was unexpectedly surprised to be playing a Souls-like game.

The whole series is amazing and unfortunately overlooked. They should receive more praise.

Will try Darksiders Genesis once I am done with III.

Re: Final Fantasy 14 Will Be Playable on PS5 via Backwards Compatibility with Performance Improvements

Eadgar

@jimmydx Thanks for the information. I went to the Square Enix store and bought the so-called complete edition. It was advertised as perfect for people starting the game since it includes all expansions (at least the ones released up until today I presume).

Now I will upgrade by internet connection a bit, and start playing it on my PS4 Pro before eventually transitioning to the PS5 when I get it in the future.

Re: Final Fantasy 14 Will Be Playable on PS5 via Backwards Compatibility with Performance Improvements

Eadgar

I have been wondering if it was too late to get into this game. Is the community still active? Will Square Enix continue to support it, etc.? Have heard great things about it but I hardly play MMO's but like many, I love the Final Fantasy franchise.

With this news, I am happy to say a copy of this will now be sold. My only question is, which one do I get? There seems to be quite a few releases. Time to do some investigating.

Re: Godfall's Cinematic Opening Is Way More Hype Than We Expected

Eadgar

I am really looking forward to this game. If I was able to secure a launch PS5, this and Demon's Souls were going to be my game purchases but alas, it was not meant to be.

I hope it does well and meets or surpasses people's expectations because I know there are some who are still not entirely convinced about the game. Good luck to it.
