Re: Video Game Industry Caught in a 'Vicious Circle of Death and Rebirth', Says Helldivers Boss

Nakatomi_Uk

The problem is the industry has been infested with money grabbing (won't say the word) who have no interest in games or no nothing about games at. Then they have CEOs in place who really don't know about games except how to make money and as much profit with little to no expedenture at all. They grind their Devs to the bone and then set ridiculous deadlines for the game to be finished and put out.

The obsession with Live service is 1 thing that will and I'm shocked how it hasn't yet crashed the gaming industry. Microsoft and Sony want that Epic Fortnite pie but they can't get it right in a marker that's stagnated to death.

The push for high end graphics is also another step as to why games are flopping or not good, as they seem to have weak stories or gameplay. Spiderman 2 is one game that comes to mind I found it very boring compared to the first came, graphics have also come to a point were upscaling is now needed across consoles and PC when we've had native for decades.

Indies for me are were it's at Hades is a fantastic game I've yet to try Undertale, but Dredge is my next game I'm playing

Re: After Gobbling Two Publishers, Now Xbox Has Been Sniffing Around Ubisoft's IP

Nakatomi_Uk

I don't know to be honest Microsoft have gone back on themselves after the purchase of Acti/Blizzard they cut jobs closed some studios down and haven't really (as far as we know) got any projects going for dormant IPs that they acquired.

If they bought out Ubi then the CEO needs to go but if they did it would be a 2nd company that's had a lot of bad press, I mean look at Blizzard and the Cosby style room

Re: Ex-Xbox System Seller Starfield Edges Ever Closer to PS5

Nakatomi_Uk

Got it free with my RX6600 I wished I waited a month instead as Resident Evil 4 Remake was free after. Star field is absolutely rubbish the character design looks better than say Skyrim I'll give it that but it's no Skyrim or Oblivion for that matter.

Space battles are the same over and over you can't travel to a planet bot like No Mans Sky you don't seem to get anywhere and then just warp to it. Planets are barren and I had such a hard time remembering where shops where which galaxy and planet etc. And it's that bad modders won't even create hardly anything for it also optimization is rubbish no matter what high end setup on PC you have it still barely goes above 80fps in some reviews

Re: Sony Remembers the PS3 in Surprise Firmware Update

Nakatomi_Uk

It's probably just an update to the onboard clock to get it ready for the time changes end of march that's all

I love my PS3 but I have to get inside to replace the coin battery but like the PS2 it's not bloody easy and I don't want to damage it. I have a chunky PS2 and the coin battery needs replacing the clock doesn't stay but again it's right at the bottom and I don't want to damage it.

Re: PS5, PS4 Fans Baffled by Sony's Decision to Promote Shovelware

Nakatomi_Uk

@Ralizah Yet go back 10 years ago and Steam was the same with Greenlight were it too had assest flips and shovelware at the top and killing indie Devs trying to make a good game. It wasn't long after the Steam users fought back that Valve did something about it.

They are on PSN paid for trophies nothing more Sony doesn't care about your gamer score the fact you can now hide games from your list as well. If you see someone with 200 plats and most are hidden chances are they may have just these crap

Re: Give Wallace & Gromit a Scrub in New PowerWash Simulator DLC

Nakatomi_Uk

I wish they would do a DLC Bundle sets like 3 for £18-20 the game is addictive at times and can also be frustrating for what you have to do. If your chasing the trophies which can be out of the way tasks it does make the game tedious as well, like some are clean a certain thing first before anything else and you won't know unless you use a guide.

But again great game though

Re: Rumour: Gears of War Collection Will Be Revealed for PS5 This Summer

Nakatomi_Uk

If it has a remake/remaster of Gears 1 form the other 2 then I'll get it first remember playing split screen coop with with my friends on his 360 in Gears 1. It was absolutely awesome especially when doing the hardest difficulty I couldn't be bothered with online though I know a few friends who got the 10k kills achievement lol.

I got my own 360 and we both Gears 2 across Xbox Live again it was brilliant we just never got to do 3. Unfortunately time is thin with work and family not sure if I will be able to do it all again as my friend plays gotcha games

Re: Rockstar Acquires Remaster Dev That Fixed Awful GTA Trilogy

Nakatomi_Uk

Grove Street Games didn't bring over anything from the mobile remasters they used Unreal Engine AI to do it all for them. Released an absolute broken mess of a set of games and then abandoned it soon after this why these guys had to come in and do what they could to get them working better

Grove Street Games also released the anniversary editions of San Andreas on Xbox 360 and that was a broken mess as well

Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for March 2025?

Nakatomi_Uk

@OldSchoolHeel I got Inquisition with my PS4 and I was excited when I saw the trailers and what not. I've never been so bored in my entire life playing that game, combat was repetitive and the fact everyone did the same moves omg. No one had any variety except your own character with the special move you would get as your progressed, the pacing was slow as well and I'm with you I will never touch another ever again

Re: Over 1,000 PS5, PS4 Games You May Have Missed Going Cheap

Nakatomi_Uk

I refuse to look at the sales as I now add to my wishlist to find any offersz, the store is full of crap and I'm sick and tired of seeing asset flip games at the top that use AI to make a thumbnail and the game doesn't even look like it.

They are always at the top pushing proper games down and Sony need to get there arses in gear it's ridiculous

Re: Warner Bros. Games Closes Multiple Studios, Wonder Woman Cancelled

Nakatomi_Uk

Surprised the man in charge is still in charge with most of the failures theyve put out and the obsession with making Live Service games. They then put out Rocksteady are making a new batman game when the devs who made the Arkham Trilogy are no longer there now so it will probably flop.

They've tried to sell their gaming arm but they wanted to sell it for billions but still be the sole owners of the IPs or the only publisher allowed to release the games some rubbish like that

Re: Two Point Museum (PS5) - Laugh Out Loud Tycoon Title Is Well Worth the Entry Fee

Nakatomi_Uk

I don't think font size should lose it one star the 2 point games have always been solid and a small nostalgia trip for those who had the privilege of growing up when Bullfrog was around with Theme Hospital/Park.

2PH is exactly like TH but with extra stuff to do and it's a brilliant game they usually put it on sale with Campus as a bundle as well for like £12 and all DLC to 2PH

Re: Monster Hunter Wilds (PS5) - A Timeless Formula Refined to Near Perfection

Nakatomi_Uk

It uses the RE engine doesn't it it seems that they are pushing it to it's limits, I bought RE4 Remake on PC and yes my RX6600 8GB and 5600 isn't a beast but I do play at 1080p 144hz at the moment but it tanks so bad in certain areas even when I've tweaked it. Inside plays fine but certain area my god does drop frames and it seems to be an issue for a lot of people on higher end GPUs as well.

But this game had performance issues before and I expect it to for a while and it even was using upscaling as well

Re: Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 Reveal Teased for 4th March in Countdown

Nakatomi_Uk

@batosaims Why do you think they have gone M.P because after they bought Blizzard/Acti it's shareholders and CEO were probably stoaked they had loads of games coming for Xbox. Then Phil probably told them "Errrrr no most are for playstation and a lot are a years away".

That probably got them pissed and so decided nope we've never been able to catch up after our Xbox One disaster, so we're going M.P and switching to a publisher front from now on

Re: PC Users Furious Over Lost Soul Aside Being Blocked from Sale in 130 Countries

Nakatomi_Uk

Its because of PSN it's either not available or allowed in those countries and they want it to be so they can boast about subscriptions to it's shareholders that's all its about. Helldivers 2 was the first game and still it's locked in those countries it would be Sonys biggest Live Service game right now but they proper f it up

HD2 players want a proper banning report system but we can't because they say without a PSN account they cant track griefers etc as Arrowhead never put a proper system in place because they knew from the start PSN was going to be a requirement but it's back fired

Re: Marvel's Spider-Man 2's Performance on PC Has Not Been Amazing

Nakatomi_Uk

TLOUP1 was a disaster it should have been pulled off Steam all together and delayed and properly fixed by Nixxies are looked at by them. To this day it still doesn't play well at all and you seriously have issues with mid range rigs trying to get a stable 60fps, it also still sends your hardware skyrocketing in temps if you load it up for the first time because it's shader compilation before you start

Re: Xbox Boss Says He's Given Up Trying to Convince PS5 Players to Switch Systems

Nakatomi_Uk

They never recovered from Xbox One and they knew it when they ended up having to release the XSX a console that Xbox One should have been (with the tech we had at the time). Instead it's team of idiots with Don Mattrick at the helm a man who apparently wanted the Xbox division buried did just that. TV TV TV but no gamers wanted a more powerful box to continue the 360 run to be able to play their 360 games still and original Xbox.

Now they only way to stay relevant as a Brand was too pay big money for publishers/Devs to become 1 big one and get games on other systems.
