Re: Interest in Destiny 2 Reportedly at an All-Time Low

Johnnycide

I was playing Destiny 2 for hours daily up to Rise of Iron coming out. Then the mtx and nonsense got out of hand.

It was added to ps plus a while back with one of the later expansions (beyond light? Light fall? They all seem to have similar names now), and I couldn't play for five mins without popups begging me to buy more add ons, currency, skins, and other nonsense. I gave it a few hours then just uninstalled.

If this is how it's become then I'm sorry but they've brought it on themselves and the more these business practices continue the more failure they'll see.

Marathon is dead on arrival and it looks like they've managed to kill D2, not to mention TLOU Factions as well.

Sorry folks, but you are very much in the "find out" part of the deal from the way you have treated your loyal fans.

Re: Poll: Did You Buy Armored Core 6?

Johnnycide

I was fully intending to buy this day one, but I got a Nintendo Switch and bought a bunch of games on that so I'm going to beat them first. I love my ps5 and have been with Sony since PS1 but the portability and the fact that my girlfriend's kids have Switches means I'm not really on the playstation much at the moment. I'll definitely get round to armoured core at some point but I'm not in any hurry.

Re: Rapper Lil Wayne to Bring Big Announcements to Street Fighter 6 Showcase

@playstation1995 this man knows his hip hop. It's not my favourite genre (though lord knows I love some Wu Tang, Nas, Outkast, Kendrick, and Biggie) but even I know Weezy has been a bit of a joke for some time. Still, it's going to make him a few quid and won't detract from the game itself so what's the harm?

@nessisonett as a big metal fan I'm the first to admit that the fanbase can be a little overzealous at times. Just look at the hatred piled on Ghost and even Opeth's later material. Two objectively talented acts with great songs and superb production and instrumentation, but because it doesn't sound like a biscuit tin full of flies being screamed at by a Karen on Buckfast it's deemed "pop". This is why I don't tell people how much I love Tool. A minority of their fans are just terrible.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 467

Johnnycide

Having just got home from an absolutely wonderful couple of days spent with my partner at their place I'm currently trying to shake off a hangover with Scott 4 and a coffee before turning on the ps5.

Once that happens I'll continue the slog through Horizon Forbidden West. It's stunning to look at but between Aloy's interminable internal monologue and the endless mashing of triangle to pick up loot I'm really not getting the hype.

Re: Site News: Where's Our Forspoken PS5 Review?

Johnnycide

I'd like to lend my support to the theory that PS didn't get a copy due to it's adherence to honesty in reviews. The fact that the site frequently has to remind casual readers that a 7 is still a good score bears that out. It's also the reason Push Square has been a daily check in for me for the last ten years.

@NEStalgia yikes. I didn't know that was the case. Tbh I've only seen a couple of trailers and it didn't appeal to me at all, but I'd be lying if I didn't feel some small amount of shadenfreude after SE pulled that crap with Avengers being a live service, whatever Babylon's fall was, and their attitude to NFTs.

Re: Site News: Where's Our Forspoken PS5 Review?

Based on Writing on Games' review this looks like it could be monumentally bad. I'd find it funny but the actor who plays Frey is likely to get a heap of abuse from the usual scum online and she absolutely doesn't deserve that. Bad writing and a horrible character is not the fault of the actor.
