Re: Sony to Continue Investing in Dreams Developer Media Molecule

GigaGaia

Dreams is really for the creative types, which is why it will never be as popular as their other exclusives. As someone who lacks any creativity, I don't see the point in buying this just to actually play levels and I am pretty sure a lot of people think like this.

This is why they reported at some point that there were a lot of creations, but almost no one to actually play them.

Don't bother with it. It's still cheaper to buy it from CDKeys. That offer is still very much there and I am starting to think CDKeys offer is permanent.

It's 29.79 usd and 37.89 cad on cdkeys and I am pretty sure it's been at least that for a year or more. Sometime, they shave off a few extra dollars with promos, but even at that price, it's much cheaper than what Sony ever offer.

“Spring is just around the corner, and we’ve been working hard to make it unforgettable,”

Not to sound mean, but unless that's when the game actually release, please don't say that, because it won't be true. Considering we've literally seen nothing of this game, it's still definitely a year away at least.

Re: Why GTA 5 on PS5 Will Be More Than Just a 'Simple Port'

GigaGaia

Must be why this port is taking so long. To tell you the truth, unless the remaster is locked at 60fps and include the RDR2 engine at 4K, I don't think I will be buying it. The PS4 version didn't do anything to the visuals and performance aside upping the resolution to 1080p (and the difference was so little that it was not worth the price they asked for). It was exactly the same game, but playable on new gen. First person mode was also unnecessary imo.

Re: The Next Dragon Age Was Going to Be a Live Service Game, But Now It's Set to Be Single-Player Only

@playstation1995 I disagree. It just wasn't that good and it was riddled with bugs and gliches. I genuingly don't understand how this got 89 on metacritics.

Meanwhile, Days Gone was a better game in every way, got trashed on because it had bugs and glitches (less than bioware and bethesda games), yet it's at 71 when the thing should be sitting at 80 or 90 on metacritics.

Bethesda and Bioware are getting free passes even though they mostly release average games.

Re: Outriders Demo: Start Times, What's Included, and Unlocks

GigaGaia

"All the progress you make will carry over into the full game. This will include your progress through the story, your character levels and loot, levels, and inventory."

Unfortunately, this means that carrying over your demo save will lock you out of some trophies if you met the requirement during the demo. Meaning you have to start a new save if you want to go for the platinum.

Re: Is It Worth Buying a PS4 in 2021?

GigaGaia

No, the PS5 is superior in every way except for the UI which is lacking for now (but that will be fixed with some updates). It plays all PS4 games better and it loads so much faster it's not even funny.

Re: Ubisoft Shoves XP Boosting Microtransaction into Assassin's Creed Valhalla a Month After Launch

GigaGaia

@Hyperluminal Except the game doesn't have grind that is artifically high like you say. The game is pretty easy and the story give you more than enough XP to level up enough without having to do any grind whatsoever. It's even easier if you do some side stuff like mysteries along the way since they also give skill points.

You could argue that was the case for Odyssey because the story quests were gated behind high level requirements, but that's only if you tried to do only the story. If you were, you weren't playing the game properly since they wanted you to explore and get more XP that way.

This game wasn't designed with the XP boost in mind at all. It's just the excuse you people use to bash any game with microtransactions. If you really have trouble keeping up with the difficulty in this game, it's not because it requires you to grind or it's hard, it's actually because you suck and you need to git gud like people say.

I am power level 377, finished the story and killed all the members of the order and I am just a few minutes under 40 hours playtime. That's without any XP booster (it wasn't even out at that time) so when you say it's grindy on purpose, you're definitely lying.

There is areas with enemies that are power level 350, but I was killing them pretty easily when I was 100 levels or more below. If you constantly upgrade equipment and get abilities, those numbers really don't mean anything.

Re: PS5 Is UK's Best-Selling Console in November 2020

GigaGaia

I am almost certain that the PS5 will win NPD in North America by a huge margin. Switch might win december and January, but as soon as the PS5 stock situation isn't going to be an issue, the PS5 will win every months and the Switch will become permanent second place.

Meanwhile Xbox will be third place 95% of the time with a second place once in a blue moon.
