Re: Destiny 2: The Final Shape (PS5) - Bungie's Promise Fulfilled

PaperAlien

Its been an absolutely brilliant expansion so far, they really knocked it out of the park, been playing since D1 days, and seeing the story end got me choked up a few times.

The way the campaign continued into the insane raid and then continued into a final 12 player mission once the raid was beat for the true end was masterful.

Re: Sea of Thieves Reportedly a 'Key Test' for More Xbox Games on PS5

PaperAlien

I dont really understand this... I have zero interest in this game but if I want to see something like Forza or Starfield on a PS5 then this game needs to sell well? Make it make sense!

Its impossible to judge the success of other types of games based on how well some semi live-service game sells, whats the metric, sell as many copies as it did on XBOX? where its also available on gamepass.

Re: Random: Seven Years Later, No Man's Sky's Reputation Is Slowly Improving

They deserve the world to be honest, its a small team and they have slogged their guts out to deliver high quality updates and all for free, they have more than earned the right of "being redeemed"

No Mans Sky is a game I play weekly, its just a lovely vibe and to do whatever you want, and with no microtransaction stores or overpriced DLCs or login bonuses its just a game that respects your time however you want to play it.

Super refreshing and super chill, and its always the game I turn to for a bit of escapism if im having a hard time of it in the real world.

Re: Talking Point: How Do You Feel About the PS5 Pro?

PaperAlien

An absolute waste of time, money and resources. I was a day one PS4 Pro buyer as by that point my OG PS4 was CREAKING along and games were pushing its boundaries, not a single one of the few true PS5 only 1st party games released have even tickled the PS5s capabilites.

Theres no way games should be struggling to achieve 30 or 60fps on a PS5 if the games were actually optimized properly.

Re: Over Eight Million Helldivers 2 Players Recruited Since Last Month

PaperAlien

Finally took the plunge on Friday as I was a bit sceptical of the co-op side of things, but been having a tonne of fun with it! But theres a couple of big issues need sorting asap,

Ive not been able to add any of my friends on PC via friend request, and having to resort to picking a planet, a finding a mission we all have at the same time and try to join, so not ideal at all for a co-op game, hopefully this gets sorted asap.

Re: Naughty Dog Boss Neil Druckmann Doesn't Want to Make Games Forever

PaperAlien

Of course the 4chan basement dwellers are over the moon at the news, but for most people its a bit of a shame (but understandable) to hear, the guy wasn't afraid to make bold choices, push stories / games / characters forward in a way nobody would expect, and quite often as a massive FU to the loud minority and will leave a legacy that is, nobody will ever forget the games and stories he made.

It really doesn't get any better than that for anyone in the games / entertainment industry.

Re: Poll: What Do You Think of PSVR2, One Year Later?

PaperAlien

From the outside it seems like they took the money and ran.
It absolutely doesnt feel like a success nor does it feel like they have any desire to support it properly with 1st Party stuff, a bit like the PS5 atm.

Its a bit of a weird gen all round in lots of ways.
