Re: Poll: Did You Buy Tales of Arise?

Ichiban

Had it pre-ordered, still waiting on it to arrive, but keen to play.
I've played a few Tales games, my favourite being Xillia on the PS3. Xillia 2 has the honour of killing my PS3 & the worst (best?) cat meow sound effect ever recorded, it's quite impressive actually!

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 393

Ichiban

As I await my copy of Tales to arrive in the mail, I have been playing Life Is Strange: True Colours. I've only played the first episode so far & it's not bad. Though an odd complaint: Alex's inner monologue doesn't seem to match her personality, or the current situation she may in, it's really weird. It almost feels like they wanted her to be a bit like Max from the original, but she's not....Still, not bad!

Re: Feature: Our PS5, PS4 Predictions for PlayStation Showcase 2021

Ichiban

Maybe some hardware related stuff, new dual sense colours, and official coloured face plates would be nice.
Life a few others here, I want the over the top arcade action of a new Motorstorm, Twisted Metal, or something along those lines.
Also, Street Fighter Alpha 4 from Capcom in collaboration with Arc System Works, while I'm dreaming lol

Re: Horizon Forbidden West Delayed to 2022, Says New Report

Ichiban

@Yaycandy Who said anything about Microsoft?
But now that you've brought them up, they have Halo Infinite & Forza Horizon 5 lined up for the holiday season this year. Not to mention Flight Simulator just dropped, to great reviews.
A real pet peeve, but hey look at them over there!

Re: Shadow of the Tomb Raider Patched to Run 4K, 60fps on PS5

Ichiban

I just can't get excited about games I've already beaten getting a few upgrades. Better than Director's Cuts and $10 upgrades, but still.....I'm sick of getting new consoles for 80% of the library to be games I played the prior generation! Or upgrades to old stuff, its just so boring!

Re: PS Vita Trends on Twitter as OLED Screen for New Switch Is Revealed

Ichiban

@fR_eeBritney They'd probably be better off playing it on a phone or tablet, would no doubt run alot better!
It had so much potential at the start. Zelda BOTW & Mario Odyssey gave me hope that they were finally ready to release some big scale adventure games, like they used to. But nah, from the second year onwards back to the same old garbage: Smash, Mario sports games, Animal Crossing, more Smash, Ring Fits, Amiibo dollies, etc. Just disposable crap if you ask me. (Though Luigi's Mansion 3 was pretty sweet).
Pardon the rant haha

Re: GTA 6 Release Window Rumours Pick Up Steam

Ichiban

It's just depressing if true.
Look out for the day when a console generation consists of only around 10 games, with "ever changing worlds, new & exciting monetisation methods, innovative social features!" Also every game will have the graphical style of Fortnite.
Next gen is my bet!

Re: PS4 Exclusive Ghost of Tsushima Could Be Coming to PC as 'Only on PlayStation' Is Removed from Box

Ichiban

PC, Xbox, N64, I don't care where Sony's games end up, as long as they keep making them. One of the very few making the single player adventures I enjoy the most. They're even bringing out more platformers than Nintendo these days.
What worries me is 3rd party output. 3 gens of GTA5 with no sign of a 6, classic franchises turned into online or service games, and just the same yearly garbage year in year out.
PC players need something, it's not like Star Citizen is ever coming out.

Re: Poll: Did E3 2021 Suck?

Ichiban

I'm still trying to figure out why anyone thought Nintendo had a good show. Was it that bland as hell looking Metroid game? Wario Ware? Advance Wars? Both look like games you'd find on google play. The 20 seconds of BOTW2? Fair enough, that is highly anticipated. Still, wasn't all that much. They could show up with a cup and ball on a string and people would lose their minds, I just don't get it🤨

Re: Reaction: E3 Is a Relic Desperately Clinging to Relevancy

Ichiban

No way! I miss the hype and excitement of the live e3 conferences. Now we have these direct style videos with robot sounding people, who describe things like we've all never played video games before. Its ok, but I want that hype and excitement back.
Sony need to stop sniffing their own farts & join in on the fun too, they are missed at these events.
