Re: LEGO Horizon Adventures (PS5) - Dull Design Lets Down This Gorgeous Spin-Off

@Dodoo I wish Lego games as they are would die. Lego game Susie’s to be different and interesting, then every single Lego game had to be a copy of Lego Star Wars and Lego games creativity have completely died eve since. The formula ran out is Steam for me with Lego Batman. A great run of three games, but it needed to stop there.

Re: Xbox Fans Really Want a Port of PS5, PC Hit Helldivers 2

Jaz007

Yeah, let's not. This isn't a good idea, and MS needs to push the publishers they bought onto PS (horrible idea to buy them and it's already failing evidenced by us getting our games back), and then actually invest in some management that knows up from down, then have them make their own portfolio of great games.

Re: Helldivers 2 Concludes 60-Day Overhaul Plan with Latest Balance Update on PS5, PC

@Bionic-Spencer To be frank, the game wasn’t is an amazing state at launch. The need that broke the camel’s back was the flamethrower, it wasn’t that great to start with. It was buffed because it’s a live-service game. We just had another strong weapon and didn’t notice at first because we were still figuring out all the weapons. The launch day game simply didn’t have anything “taken away”. There’s definitely tinted glasses for looking at it though.

I think you bring up a good point about some games though.

Re: How to Pre-Order PS5 Pro

@LogicStrikesAgain The problem isn’t a high price, the problem is nickel and diming me for basic features with a high price. It’d be better to make it $750 and include the entire package than try to make a profit off of them,

Of course they’re out of touch. The characters were intentionally ugly, someone wanted to make ugly things seems cool and was allowed to push that in a 200M project. The audience was suppers to like Concord despite being spat on.

This will hopefully be a slap of reality for Sony that these things are dangerous. I’m genuinely glad Concord is such a failure because Sony needed this message on many levels.

Re: Arrowhead Unveils 60-Day Plan to Placate Rebellious Helldivers 2 Fans

@RBMango Yeah, they know their community can act this way, so hyping flames and then nerfing them just is just makes me want to ask “What did you think was gonna happen?”
It’s not even realistic either, it’s less realistic to a a flamethrower now. If it was realistic they’d buff the range of the flamethrower instead of this rework lol.

But yeah I think that would be a great convo to have.
They recently put up a feedback form and I expressed my feelings, including that the flamethrower needed a nerf, but not a giant one. I also mentioned how the timing was tone deaf.

@RBMango I would argue things are more buffed than at launch overall. I think people are often dramatic so the the nerfs, it that being even the animation for the flamethrower sucks now. They also did this right when we got the flame warbond, so the timing was incredibly poor and tone deaf.

The flamethrower actually did need a nerf, but it needed to be far less dramatic and and much more minor.
And as for the vision thing, the flamethrower has been the same since it got buffed for the most part and then they let us get a module that increased flame damage for most weapons including the flamethrower by 25% and it was an expensive later game upgrade so this comes across as incredibly poor planning since they’ve buffed something that in theory already too strong.

Re: Mini Review: That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime: Isekai Chronicles (PS5) - A Decent But Downright Repetitive Action RPG

Jaz007

It's a shame this isn't done better with deeper and more praiseworthy story elements tied to the town and whatnot. I actually think this the style of this game combined with inspiration from Azure Dreams and Rune Factory (4 especially) would make for a great expansive anime game template without dipping into an AAA budget.
So I hope better games are inspired by the idea. A number isekais could be done like this (or an original) without relying on the source material to read if they went all in.

Re: Dead Rising's PS5 Remaster Will Strip Bonus Points for Erotic Photos

@Kienda I’m with you, also it only seems that lesser stuff like this is bad and gets removed. If you want to put full nudity and have genitals sliders it’s great and celebrated, but this is too much.
It makes no sense. This is mild and frankly silly compared to that stuff, and I am opposed to the blatant nudity and such being in games.

Re: Sony Appears to Be Dabbling with Written User Reviews on the PS Store

Jaz007

@freddquadros Okay, so we have some review bombing on a few big games easy to find info about, great, you protect you persecuted AAA games!
Now what about all the indies that don't reviews from sites like this or might be cool or might be shovelware? This isn't for games that get review bombed, this is for smaller games that we attempt to find Steam reviews for, because it's great that I have to go on Steam before I buy a game on PlayStation.
