Re: PS Plus Extra, Premium Now Live in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand

PaperAlien

Im another one who really doesnt get the NTSC thing, we grew up with PAL versions in UK/Europe so meh... I'll prob upgrade to Extra, Ghosts of Tsu, Demons Souls, Stray when released, and loads of games I want to try just to see but would never buy like Spiderman/Miles Morales etc Does anyone know if you can stack the memberships? Like if I upgrade to extra, can you then buy another years worth? Bit of a shame if you can only renew at one point annually.

Re: The Quarry (PS5) - Maybe Until Dawn Was Just a Fluke

PaperAlien

Actually have to agree with this review, Im not sure what 9/10 game the other reviews were playing but it certainly wasn't this! Bought it, played it, felt ripped off by it, and sold it on after I finished.

Its just so clunky, and tedious, even though its quite short, I was just wishing it was over already from about half way through. If you're interested wait till its sub 25ish of your local monies.

Re: Sony and Bungie Will Create a Live Service Centre of Excellence Once Acquisition Closes

PaperAlien

Well the comments section didnt dissapoint! Love it or hate it (im in the rather like it side) D2 is a pretty great game these days, but ive been playing since all the way back in D1. Ive built up a nice little UK clan to play with so Its a crying shame that its such a rubbish experience for new or lapsed players to get into.

The current team they have seem to understand the games needs etc and they have mastered the art of GaaS model so its easy to see why Sony wants their help. D2 is the only live service game I play unless No Mans Sky counts? but its mainly sp games and cool little indies / AAs I play. Both types of games can co-exist quite happily.

Re: Delayed PS4 Multiplayer Spin-Off Resident Evil Re:Verse Re-Emerges

@Uncharted2007 eh? RE 7 is the most RE feeling game since the early trilogy! That compact claustrophobic location with the grim Hills Have Eyes family and its traps were just * chefs kiss * 8 on the otherhand is just a big glossy but very well done supernatural romp, not particularily scary but quite intense at some points, creeping through the castle while being hunted down, felt very Alien Isolationy at times.

Re: Outriders Has so Far Failed to Turn a Profit for Square Enix

PaperAlien

I mean Outriders isnt really a live service game at all... Sure it has online elements like finding people to play with if you need it, but thats it? Its absolutely nothing like Destiny 2, where the actual game ebbs and flows and purposely changes with ongoing storylines etc every 3 month season. Anyways its no surprise it didnt break even, its a fairly average looter shooter. I paid £14 for it and it felt appropriate for what it was.

Re: Sony Confirms PS Plus Subscription Stacking Has Been Blocked

PaperAlien

Every day Im moving closer and closer to selling my PS5 and getting a PC instead, outside of Returnal none of their 1st party games have interested me this far and stuff like this is just so consumer unfriendly and pretty shocking.

I do believe some people were stacking ridiculously, but thats on Sony. They should perhaps have allowed stacking an extra year of instead of as many as you want as a compromise. But also their communications department needs an overhaul or a kick up the butt cos it really is bottom of the barrel this PS5 gen.
