Re: Horror and Halloween Are the Theme in Over 550 PS Store Deals

Jayofmaya

I bought Murdered Soul Suspect for a really similar price last year. Must have been 10p more or something. Story isn't bad and exploration is fun enough with nice but mostly smaller environments. Combat is virtually non existent, more like you just stealth to an enemy and then do a QTE. It's worth a playthrough, especially when it's so cheap. Definitely wouldn't go back for the plat, though.

Re: Best Final Fantasy Games

Jayofmaya

@darkswabber Personally much preferred 13 to 13-2. Also, never played anything prior to 7 due to the 2d graphics and being tired of that in the jrpg genre, so I couldn't rank it based on that. I guess maybe that game should have seen a remake

Re: Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League Gets a Head-Popping PS5 Story Trailer

@get2sammyb @everynowandben I thought I read somewhere that it was a loosely tied game where as the new Batman is completely different universe. Was also going to make the Harley Quinn point but tbh, I'm also on board with @ShogunRok, in that I don't need a celebrity face because personally it adds no excitement or enjoyment. I thought she had a good model in the Arkham series.

Re: Have a Gander at Saints Row's Santa Ileso

@thefourfoldroot Yeah, gonna be difficult for that to work in SR. Looks are easy. I think before that they had different V/As and that somewhat changed their tone and how aggressive they sounded but there wasn't much choice on how you resolved things. I remember you can blow up a building or use it for your gang and things like that.

Re: Final Fantasy XIV Is Now the Most Profitable Game in the Entire Series, Surpasses 24 Million Players

Jayofmaya

I got a free month in this but was ridiculously busy, just moved out with my mate, had a new job, was meeting a lot of new people who I only see rarely now. I put the game on once and both times ended up staying in the starting area for like 2 hours before turning it off as I either had to clean up or ended up just talking to people and then hanging out. If they had offered me that trial a year before or after I would have given it a real shot. However, this was the ps3 version, as well.

Re: Hands On: Tales of Arise Sword Art Online DLC Is Pricey but Pretty Cool

Jayofmaya

Lol I love Sword Art. Cheered me right up watching it when I had a rough patch before. However, this is sucky. Even if I had Tales I would skip here, you need story for these kinda things. I remember the FFXV missions added in from Terra Wars and FFXIV crossovers (for free) all had stories/fights and exploration. I guess Square Enix had the luxury of outright owning both IPs where as Bandai probably only have a contract, they probably got it cheaply or even in the contract between them and whoever has rights to the SAO property.

Re: PS Plus November 2021 Lineup Will Include Three Bonus PSVR Games

Jayofmaya

Hoping for any of these:
No Man's Sky Beyond
Hitman 3
Iron Man
Until Dawn Rush of Blood (make up for the flop of this months offerings)
Doom 3
Wolfenstein cyberpilot
Raw Data
Sprint Vector
Xing Land Beyond
Falcon Age
Ghost Giant
Sairento
Battlewake
Shadow Legend

I've been buying many that have went on sale so I've got like 40 of the better titles now including the ones given out before. I bet RE 7 will be one, though since its in the plus collection.

Re: Have a Gander at Saints Row's Santa Ileso

Jayofmaya

@thefourfoldroot You do make a valid point that a lot of games do usually use extremes and generic characteristics almost to the point of satire sometimes. I suppose if they have big casts and other high production costs we will usually lose out on deep and realistic characters. I think Saints Row has usually sold itself on stereo types, though.

Re: Soapbox: Some Games Assume You Know How to Play Them, and It's Kinda Weird

Jayofmaya

It doesn't bother me when they have tutorials for basic movement. Usually in modern games the game will pause until you have done the action it instructs you to do. Then with more technical moves you have to do them something like 5 times. It's actually useful when things get complicated to have to actually nail it, so then you know you're doing it right.

Re: Headbang Your Way Through Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy PS5, PS4 Launch Trailer

Jayofmaya

@Arisen But it does mean Square Enix could have negotiated to push mtx with in an update or something. Though, this does seem more like a single player game and realistically they don't really work well with MTX. I saw some in Far Cry 5 single player and it was only the cosmetic stuff that you really needed to fork put for, unless grinding fishing for hours. I'm somewhat optimistic about this game, anyway

Re: Shin Megami Tensei Offshoot Monark Dated for February 2022

Jayofmaya

Looks pretty bland. I played Digital Devil Saga back in the ps2 days and found it so boring personally. I was always much more of a Final Fantasy guy. Though I did enjoy what I played of Devil Summoner the Soulless Army, had decent rpg gameplay, monster summoning and an interesting and quirky cast. Also the environments weren't gray, boring nonsense like the other game.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 397

Jayofmaya

@sentiententity I still have a bunch of those hacks on my Wii. Kamek's Island was one of the ones I recall. There was one that also used a sonic song and had metal bowser as the boss. The last levels basically required cheats, though so just put constant invincible to finish it haha The rest of the game felt like a straight add on/sequel to SMW, though.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 397

Jayofmaya

Was playing Genshin Impact and Final Fantasy VII Remake (all extra dlc summons and items) this week but did the second level of Contagion Outbreak VR last night... And oh my days, it is terrible. Regret purchase indeed. Though, I am one level away from the platinum and one more after that to complete the game entirely if I can be bothered to get my £6 (sale) worth. Yes, there are 4 levels. I won the first 2 endings through bugs that just happened during the boss/hard parts. It's hilarious and bad.
