Re: All The Game Awards 2022 Winners

God of War Ragnarok and Elden Ring come out in the same year and we're arguing over which is better. Good lord. They're both incredible, both push things forward in different ways and both were an absolute joy to play. You can't really compare which is "better" as it's so subjective.

TMNT For the NES is very much of it's time but hardly terrible. It has randomised enemies which were rare for the time. Strategic elements, light RPG elements, a variety of weapons, shortcuts and replayability. It's easy to get sucked into the hate post AVGN and every other lazy review of it, but having played it to death on the c64 and NES as a kid it was really a good- though hardly great- game.

Oh, and as for the water level just take your time and use Raphael. He can tank the whole level and he's useless everywhere else.

Re: Rumour: PS Plus PS5, PS4 Games for May 2022 Leaked Early

@tomassi I've played Rugby and used to box in my teens. The issue isn't being anti sports, it's being anti football. Since we're stereotyping here then maybe us "basement dwellers" don't have much interest in a sport which relies as much on convincing the ref you've shattered your femur on a blade of grass as it does on skill. In front of an audience of baying, racist, violent morons.

See? Stereotypes are dumb. Most people I know love football, they're good people, and they all happen to own FIFA already if they play it.

Re: Poll: Are You Happy With Your PS Plus Games for April 2022?

Johnnycide

Card games are beyond tedious. I mean you're on a console that lets you do pretty much anything and have unparalleled control of your character. Why bother being limited by the constraints of a physical game?

I'm too old for SpongeBob so no point there and Hood isn't exactly setting the world on fire is it? I don't have time to invest in becoming competent at a repetitive MP game and I really don't want to.

Three pointless games which Sony should be ashamed of. It's all well and good saying ItS OnLY A poUnD a MonTh or whatever but the fact is this is a service that has gone massively downhill, and to not speak up about that is anti consumer.

Nothing of interest there. I'm fuming I have to have plus just for Elden Ring as I'd have gladly skipped it again otherwise. Apparently Spartacus is getting announced "in the coming hours" according to Reddit so hopefully there will be some better news than this.

Card games though? Why? Just buy a physic deck with pictures of elves or whatever on them. Pointless genre.

Re: Is the Dream of Online Competitive Quidditch Over for Hogwarts Legacy on PS5, PS4?

Johnnycide

I'm not a fan of the property, but it's really nice to hear fans being so excited for this game. It looks amazing!

I'd say the best way to go would be a full on arcade style Quidditch game. Similar to Rocket League. Take it online and possibly f2p and it could be absolutely huge.

It's pretty obvious that Hogwarts Legacy is going to be a massive hit, so there's no reason it couldn't support spin-offs. I'd like to think that the fans have made the whole property their own thing now and that the author is being sidelined. A huge community based around a multiplayer Quidditch game could be a good addition to that.

Re: Poll: Will You Buy Hogwarts Legacy?

Johnnycide

Well it looks incredible. The graphics are unbelievable and the gameplay looks like it could be good.... But I'm just not a fan of the franchise. I could maybe look past that but the other issues I have with the author in particular mean I can't support it.

Re: Timeless PS3 Title Journey Is 10 Years Old Today

Johnnycide

I still remember this being on plus and posting a sarky remark about it. @get2sammyb replied that I was talking out of my rusty sherrif's badge (I'm paraphrasing but still.) So I decided to play it.

Three hours later I was a wreck. One of the most profound and beautiful pieces of art I have ever witnessed. It's a true masterpiece and something everyone should experience at least once.

Re: PS Store Sales Charts: Horizon Forbidden West Plays Second Fiddle to Elden Ring

Johnnycide

@MattBoothDev you do realise you can play offline and not see any messages (which are usually left to assist players) from "idiots" like me, right?

We get it, you don't like soulsborne games. If that's the case then why feel the need to tell everyone?

Anyway Elden Ring is incredible and there's no way GG could have predicted its success. HFW is gonna sell by the bucketload for years, no need to worry. Aloy isn't going anywhere.

Re: Forspoken Delayed from May to October 2022 on PS5

Johnnycide

They specifically mention the "hero" in that release so hopefully they've just got rid of the actress and redone all the dialogue so it doesn't come off as completely tone deaf and fake. I wouldn't play this thing for charity but at least it would serve as a warning not to patronise your audience.
