Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Assassin's Creed Mirage?

Gamer83

For me it's a 9. Love the return to the old AC gameplay. Story was meh in parts but overall I liked it. Not the best graphics but the gameplay offset that. For a budget release, really well done. Ubisoft is one of the few companies that still does these so hopefully it'll be rewarded with good sales numbers and convince the company to try another AC like this in the future.

Re: Poll: How's Your Hype for Marvel's Spider-Man 2?

Gamer83

Love Spider-Man on PS4 (Platinumed it), and I actually had even more fun with Spider-Man: Miles Morales which was the PS5 game I got on launch day. Definitely hyped for this. After the Batman universe, Spider-Man is a very close second on my list of favorite superhero IP.

Re: Poll: Are You Playing Assassin's Creed Mirage?

Gamer83

Just picked my pre-order of the Deluxe Edition, waiting for it to install. I've played most of the AC games with the exception of Bloodlines, the DS game and the smaller releases on mobile devices. This is the most I've looked forward to a new entry in a while though. As much as I like Origin, Odyssey and Valhalla, I missed the old gameplay of 1-Syndicate and I'm happy to have it back, never grew tired of that formula.

Re: Mortal Kombat 1 (PS5) - Good But Not a Flawless Victory

Gamer83

Was expecting a bit of a higher score but MK X disappointed me a little and I didn't care for 11 at all so I'm not totally shocked. I've bought almost every MK game at some point, however, so will probably get this after it's re-released in a 'Komplete' edition and is a little cheaper.

Re: Original Tomb Raider Trilogy Remastered on PS5, PS4, Pre-Order Available Now

Gamer83

@Andee
I never played much of any of these games. A little bit of 1, but none of 2 or 3. I was an N64 guy and while a lot of my friends had PS1, we'd play mostly Resident Evil or Twisted Metal, Metal Gear Solid. Didn't get into Tomb Raider until Legend on Xbox 360, that's the main reason I'm interested in these remasters. Want to give them a fair play and see why they were so loved.

Re: PS Plus Price Hike Drives Sony Share Prices Up Dramatically

Gamer83

@naruball
Sony fans will certainly lap up remasters/remakes and have. And speaking specifically to this recent decision I've already seen the damage control that leads me to believe the subscriber numbers will not see a dramatic decrease. Already seen a ton of 'well MS raised the price on Game Pass.' It's always some sort of deflection to defend Sony's actions.

Re: PS Plus Price Hike Drives Sony Share Prices Up Dramatically

@Member_the_game
We all know that's not going to happen. One thing I've learned is there's a large segment of the PlayStation fanbase that will just bend over for Sony no matter what the company does. And of the few who do complain, 90% have no backbone and will just resubscribe when it's time.

Re: Reaction: Has Sony Put Together the Worst PS Plus Month Ever?

Gamer83

Just looking at it from the games available it's a putrid month but there have been a lot of those in the past so saying it's the 'worst' is probably a stretch. When you factor in the asinine price hikes on PS Plus, I'm sure there's some who will say this is the worst month and it's not completely unfair. When my PS Plus subscription runs out in January, I will for sure not be reupping.

Re: Saints Row May Be Free on PS Plus Soon, But Its Developer Is No More

Gamer83

Didn't listen to the fans and attacked them. This sucks but it's not surprising how everything played out. People had moved on from SR anyway, they damn sure didn't want this Saints Row in name only trash and the way the devs handled the negative response of fans who had been wanting a new entry pretty much sealed the game and the studio's fate.

Re: PS Plus Essential, Extra, Premium Price Increases Announced by Sony

Gamer83

@Squatcheemagoo
BS for sure. With these asinine price increases, especially the price of Premium I need to see, at the very least, one game from each system with every new update. I don't want to hear any excuses either. One PS1 game, one for PS2, 3 and PSP, each month. On top of that, they should all be available for individual purchase whether it's a first party game or not and, since Sony more than has the money, fix the putrid PS2 emulator and figure out a way to make PS3 games downloadable. When the price was lower, the laziness was easier to deal with, not anymore.

Re: PS Plus Essential, Extra, Premium Price Increases Announced by Sony

Gamer83

Massive L. After my premium subscription runs out I may pay the $80 for Essential but even that is really pushing it. Hilarious that some people are defending this garbage, especially when Game Pass, which is a better value, isn't even really worth what MS charges. I try to be fair, so I'll wait to see what Sony does before passing full judgment, but reacting off what I've seen so far, I'm not confident. The current lineup for Essential is a complete and total joke. At the very least, give people a lineup that isn't garbage to try and justify the price hikes.

Re: Looks Like You Should Expect More Astro Bot on PS5

Gamer83

Astro's Playroom is easily in my top 10 (maybe 5, still) PS5 games. Really hope if they make a new entry in the series it's not strictly limited to VR, having some VR related content for those with the headset would be great, but these games need to be available to as many people as possible.

Re: Preview: Like a Dragon Gaiden Feels Like an Evolution of the Yakuza Franchise

Gamer83

@Pepsiman_100
Been saying this for years. I love Yakuza/Like a Dragon, thrilled we keep getting new games, but I also feel like we're missing out by not getting a 'AAA' Streets of Rage from RGG Studio. The pedigree is obviously there, I think it'd work brilliantly but this is Sega, that company's (non)use of certain classic IP is as infuriating as Nintendo and Sony.

Re: PS5 Is Now Trending Ahead of PS4 Life-to-Date Sales in US, Despite All the Stock Setbacks

Gamer83

@GeneJacket
Multiple factors. There's people such as myself who get every console, there are the hardcore PlayStation fans who get everything Sony releases and then when looking at the competition the Switch (where I've actually done most of my gaming since 2017 despite considering myself more of a PlayStation guy) is older and most people who want one already bought it and Xbox continues to be in a situation where for every good decision there seems to be two bad ones that make it not a compelling option for people on the fence. We'll see what happens once Nintendo's next system is out and the studios/publishers MS has purchased get more Xbox exclusives on the market but, for now, with the combo of all the big multiplatform releases and Sony's IP, the PS5 is the most compelling option that isn't a PC.

Re: Tekken 8 Release Date Reveal Could Be Closer Than You Think

Gamer83

Seems like everybody is going crazy for Mortal Kombat 1, but this is the fighting game I'm most hyped for. Tekken 7 was a nice step up from 6 and 8 is looking like it could be the successor to 5 that I've been waiting for. I'm thinking this game would be a great way to kick off very early 2024.

Re: PS Plus Premium Poised to Add Tekken 6, SoulCalibur: Broken Destiny

Gamer83

Didn't care much for Tekken 6 (my least favorite in the series, actually) on PS3 so I have no desire to play the PSP version, but if that game is getting put on the service I hope it means we could one day get the PSP version of Tekken 5 Dark Resurrection as well, that's one of my favorite fighting games of all-time. SoulCalibur: Broken Destiny was pretty bare bones but in terms of gameplay is great, will download that one for sure.

Re: Lollipop Chainsaw's Remake Pops Off in 2024

Gamer83

@DennisReynolds
Western games get a pass, it seems, for how they depict characters and situations. Bayonetta 3 is on a Nintendo system, if Lollipop Chainsaw was going to that machine I'd be a lot less concerned about it getting toned down. Sony and MS both have been pretty strict on niche Japanese games in recent years.

Re: Lollipop Chainsaw's Remake Pops Off in 2024

@DennisReynolds
Juliet's outfit is going to have to be changed in some way and for sure the DLC costumes from the first game, which should be included with the remake, will not be. Other than that, I also expect the violence to be a bit more tame. Even Gears of War has lost its edge in that regard in recent entries. Seems to be another industry wide trend with only Mortal Kombat escaping it.
