Re: Physical Media Just Can't Catch a Break Right Now

PaperAlien

Streaming while convenient just cant match the quality of a 4k Bluray, its not even comparable, while I dont buy many per year, I will absolutely buy a film on physical if I know i'll repeat watch it / part of a collection, will be a really sad day if/when they stop selling blu-rays / UHDs

Re: Rumour: Mortal Kombat 1's Future DLC Cancelled After Poor Sales of Khaos Reigns

PaperAlien

Honestly Im so dissapointed with MK1, easily one of the worst in all of MK history, I dropped off and deleted within 10 days, the trash they replaced the Krypt with was, def a choice and I never gelled with the cameo stuff, and then the insane grinding to upgrade each character and cameo. NO THANKS.

MK X slander in these comments? Absolutely not, played the crap out of that game for years. MK needs to go away for a good 4/5 years, give people a break from it.

Re: Review: PS5 Pro - An Impressive Yet Inconsistent Upgrade

PaperAlien

If you're going to be spending this money, and don't have an OLED TV, get the TV instead, it will make a far bigger and instantly noticeable difference to your gaming.

The fact that 30 fps is STILL a thing on the "MoSt PoWeRfUl CoNsOlE eVeR" is just a nonsense, I thought the whole point of the Pro was to remove this option, at least thats how it comes across in the Marketing of it.

Re: PS5, PC Flop Concord Never Returning, Studio Closed Down

PaperAlien

Oooft, what an ending to this whole story, not even a second chance to redeem themselves with another game. Flop games come and go all the time, but I dont think theres been anything quite like this, maybe since ET? Wonder if the episode of that Amazon series will go ahead or canned at the last minute.

Re: Ex-PlayStation Exec Shawn Layden Says There's Been a 'Collapse' in Gaming Creativity

PaperAlien

Like others said, AAA creativity is dead, buried and it aint coming back until the money men go and dev prices come down. You're literally paying £75 for the same old thing every time.

AAs and Indies is where all the creativity is, the games ive had most fun and spent most time with this year are Balatro, Vampire Survivors and Palworld, anytime ive dipped into AAA this year its just felt cold and soulless.

Re: Concord Devs Tinker with PC Files, Spurring Free-to-Play Speculation

PaperAlien

I dunno, I don't think going F2P will save it save it, sure there will be the initial spike of curiosity and people checking it out to see, but the issue for most people seemed to be the ugly character designs and not enough unique modes to play, if they could somehow fix them at the same time as going F2p, then it might find a niche audience it can expand from? Stranger things have happened!

Re: Frostpunk 2 Dev Recoups Entire Marketing, Production Budget in Three Days

PaperAlien

Very much enjoyed the first even though I was garbage at it, but had lots of fun trying and being in the world, so good to see its success!

I would love for Sony to look at producing 1st Party AA games for release on PS5/PC, honestly that's where the money can be found, all this hundreds of millions of dollars and 6-7 years for a single beige game is unsustainable.
