Re: Soapbox: My Colleagues Bet On How Far I'd Make It Through Final Fantasy VII Remake

Muttt

I'm amazed at the rave reviews now I'm finally playing the game. With no nostalgia to fall back on, I have to agree with most of the points.

The characters are annoying. Gameplay is ok, but there's a lot of doing nothing but walking about aimlessly. Textures can be awful quality on occasion. It's not a good game. Puzzles if you can call them that are dull.

The bit with Don Cornflakes or whatever his name is, is cringey and even if that's in the original game (I can only assume it is) is just too rapey for me.

I'm going to finish it just because I feel I should, but as a fan of JRPGs that somehow missed this first time around this is disappointing and if it didn't have the name would not have been so well received. Terrible, dull, clunky.

Merry Christmas to everyone involved in running and writing for the site! My main source of info for all things PlayStation. Stay safe and game on!

Re: Talking Point: Did the PS5 Showcase Event Deliver?

Muttt

I went with good. Games wise, it looks ok long term, but not clear what we are getting at launch (not much it seems). But saved by the PS+ Collection and that price point. Game on for next gen - Sony ain'y messing that's for sure.

Re: Poll: Which Version of the PS5 Do You Plan to Buy?

Muttt

Probably the digital version, but price difference will be key. £50 is the tipping point anything over that probably seals the deal.

I tend to play few big games on release. Obviously at launch this will be a bit different, but most of my purchases for the last 3-4 years have been digital in sales.

Again if the digital pricing is out of whack that could push me back to a typical physical machine, but I saw that TLoU2 was only £5 more than the disc version. So I'm hoping perhaps naively that the stupid price difference of digital > physical may be at a turning point.

Too early to tell completely, but the all digital approach is tempting.

Re: Feature: The PS4 Games We Keep Coming Back To

Muttt

My backlog is too big to think about replaying games also I kinda like to play a game, get as much out of it and then move on. The only exception would be a remaster of a game I loved - TLoU, Ratchet and Clank(s), Skyrim, GTA V, Ico.

I keep hovering over the buy icon every time Skyrim VR is on offer so I can play it again. Like I need 100+ hours in a headset

Re: PS Plus June 2020 Games Include Spider-Man PS4, Says Rumour, But It's Based on a Known Store Bug

Muttt

@MarcG420 I'm fine if it's on the list and fine if not. Got the platinum for it, so can recommend it for anyone who's not played it. Just fed up with the spammy articles on unfounded rumours (last month it was from some totally random source - zero credibility, but still reported on). That's more what annoys me. This site does some really good work, but also has click baity stuff. It's a real shame, the tabloid BS overshadows the quality sometimes.

Re: Sony's Change in Approach to E3 Showcases Is 'What the Fans Want'

Muttt

It's certainly hard to get right - how many E3 or similar press conferences had really wooden execs on stage? I love the whole E3 experience, it's like a gamer's Christmas, but some of them have been really cringey - big celebs on stage "hi I really love playing X when chilling away from filming" - uck, fake fake fake a lot of the time.

Re: Guide: Short PS4 Games

Muttt

Dreams??? I get the argument, but really? For a site that is so pro Dreams that's not really an endorsement to be on this list.

Re: Guide: The Best PS4 Co-Op Games

Muttt

My wife and daughter both love Overcooked. As the "hardcore" gamer I find it really stressful!

Diablo III is great kick back and chill with my wife.

One not in the list is The Witness. We've had a great time slowly working out the puzzles together. Some audio related ones I couldn't do, but we're easy for the Mrs.

Re: PS4 Exclusive Dreams Remains an Incredibly Attractive Enigma

Muttt

The problem I have with this is that 99% of LBP user content isn't very good. Even with time, planning and taking it seriously most users (myself included) don't have the skill or talent to create something that looks or plays good.

Fair play to Sony for backing this. I hope I'm pleasantly surprised, but my expectations are set to impressive technically, but otherwise lacking.
