Re: New Alone in the Dark Trailer Reveals Fresh Look at the Haunted Mansion

GigaGaia

It's supposed to be a remake of the original, but it seems to be too different already, just by the fact that there are other human characters in the mansion. The original didn't, only had Edward Carnby and Emily Hartwood. Plus, those 2 characters never interracted with each others, since you had to choose which character to play as and the other just wasn't in the playthrough.

Re: Sony Has Allegedly Suffered a Huge Hack by Ransomware Group

6000 files = huge? I have 10 times that amount of files on my computer and I consider that not a lot. 6000 is incredibly small. Maybe if it was 600000000000 files, they'd have a lot, but 6000 is too low. Those guys call themselves hackers and they think 6000 is a lot?

The reason Sony isn't even bothering to pay or entertain this is likely because they know those guys have absolutely nothing.

Re: Poll: Are You Playing Lies of P?

GigaGaia

Nope, they made the dodge crappy on purpose to force you to parry. I hate when the devs force you to play their ways, so no thanks. They even said they were going to fix the dodge in the full game, but they didn't make it much better, still bad.

Re: PS5's Meteoric Rise Underlined by Staggering German Sales Graph

GigaGaia

@Matroska The 360 sales were also heavily inflated by the RRoD since a lot of them had to be replaced and the warranty in the beginning was crap.

Yeah the PS3 had YLoD, but it had like 10% failure rate, which is acceptable for any electronics. The 360 had a 55% failure rate at some point. By the end of the generation, sales were close (but in favor of the PS3), but make no mistakes, there was a lot more ps3 in the hands of actual people. Wouldn't suprise me if the install base of the PS3 was twice the one of the 360.

IMO, it didn't matter if the Xbox One launch was a disaster. It's just an excuse. Playstation is such a bigger brand than Xbox, that even if Microsoft had done everything right, it wouldn't have mattered because Sony did as well. The PS4 would still have crapped all over the Xbox One. We'd still be here today with the PS5 crapping all over the Xbox Series as well.

By the way, it's going to be the same results next gen and the ones after that until Microsoft finally gives up and become third party.

Wouldn't want to be in a world where Microsoft succeed with Gamepass. It's cheap now and they act like good guys, but if they become successful, watch them raise the price to $100 or $200 a month. They can put a good guy mask all they want, but it doesn't change the fact that they will always be the worst scums of the earth and the most anti-consumer company between all 3.

Re: Microsoft Goes Scorched Earth Over UK's Activision Buyout Block

GigaGaia

It's not going to pass in Europe and with the FTC either. They will literally use the same excuse as the CMA and block the deal.

This deal being blocked is the best thing that has ever happened. Even if Sony was buying them, I still wouldn't approve, but at least Sony would do something with the IP they bought. Everything Microsoft acquires just rot and die.

Also, I hope Sony buy Square-Enix now. Not big enough for the regulators to bother blocking and it would be a serious blow.

Re: Sony Has No Console Exclusivity Over Baldur's Gate 3

GigaGaia

@andrewsqual Gamepass is also going to be a problem. Gamers on Xbox are cheap and now the majority of them just don't want to buy games anymore, they want to play it on gamepass.

Gamepass is good for indies developers who get a check upfront, but any AAA studio, it's bad since there is no way the check covers the loss of money in sales.

Because of this, I am pretty sure some AAA devs will decide to start skipping Xbox and go exclusively for PS/Switch.

Hell, Square-Enix is already doing it with FF7R and FF16. That's why they're not releasing on Xbox, not because Sony extended the exclusivity deal beyond 6 months. Xbox fanboys will say it's because Sony paid to have them permanently not appear on Xbox just because Microsoft said so with zero evidence. However it's clear that you can't reason why Xbox fanboys anymore, they're hopeless, they swallow every bull Phil Spencer says and pretty much everything that comes out of the guy's mouth is lies and *****.

Re: Trails from Zero on PS4 Misses Out on New Improvements Coming to PC, Switch

GigaGaia

NISA are too just incompetent. Hell, this and Azure have been fan translated, they're using that said fan translation to release the game here and it's still taking them this long to release them. This and Azure should have both been released months ago.

I know those are big games, but if you can't handle those games, leave them to someone who can. This is getting traction in the west now, there is no reason why small devs like you and XSEED still do those games. Time for a bigger publisher to take them.

The fact that Reverie and Kuro no Kiseki have been out for years and are still not released makes you a joke.

Re: Horizon Forbidden West DLC Takes Aloy to the Burning Shores Only on PS5

GigaGaia

@cburg I am pretty sure even though 120 millions ps4 were sold, there isn't nearly that much that are still active. In fact, I'd bet there is less than 50 millions active ps4 players still and that's me giving a generous number, it's probably a lot less than that. Then you also have to remove those who have both a ps4 and ps5, which means they aren't affected by that.

Even if there was 120 millions ps4, games should have stopped being released on it the moment the ps5 came out. You have to leave old technology behind no matter how much are affected. If we didn't, we'd still be playing ps2 games.

Re: Trails, Ys Announcements and More Coming This Week

GigaGaia

It's taking them way too long to translate a game that is already fan translated when official translation is literally going to use mostly that same translation.

I've played the english patch for Zero and Azure a long time ago and I am caught up with Hajimari as well (because an english patch on PC exist). There is no point for me to buy these games anymore, they should have released them a while ago already.
