This probably has more of an effect on games journalists, than the general public. Like comic con, these trade shows/expos/conventions have gone more corporate and have made it harder for the average fan to go.

Re: PS5, PS4 Exclusives May Get Worse if Free with PS Plus Day One

PhhhCough

The comments section is always full of entertainment. One day, everyone is talking about "waiting for sales" and "not paying $70". Another day, "$70 is the right price". One day it's "gamepass sucks", the next it's "so when is sony gonna reveal it's gamepass".

I don't think gamers really know what they want. New IPs, but won't pay full price, but they want more kratos.

Re: Gran Turismo 7 PS5, PS4 Review Bombed After Challenging Week

Think of all the games he couldnt play due to "real world" influences. I'm sure he couldnt play ANY sports games, cause he isn't athletic; nor any fps cause he probably isn't in shape enough to run with a full pack and shoot accurately; any rpg cause I'm sure he wouldnt be able to heft a buster sword, etc.

Games are escapism, leave it at that.

Re: Rats Strike TV Deal as A Plague Tale Gets Its Own Series

@velio84 I agree. What will the rdr and GoTsushi movie/tv adaptations bring, to differentiate themselves from other western and samurai movies, besides game characters. Will we notice a difference from tlou tv show and other post apocalyptic zombie, I mean "infected" tv shows.

Also, I could've sworn there were more superheroes than batman, spiderman and superman. The gta v, skyrim and mario kart 8 of the movie world.

"At the same time the pricing of cars is an important element that conveys their value and rarity, so I do think it’s important for it to be linked with the real world prices."

In the next update, to make it more immersive and have it coincide with real world prices, GT7 will be asking for your yearly income. Just to be sure you're not purchasing cars, you shouldn't be able to afford....with real world prices.

@Kang81 there is a samurai class, which starts with a katana, bow and arrow set. With the right ashes, you might be able to duplicate the controls and movement of 'the wolf'. Some have said after upgrading their weapons, they had a somewhat easier time of it. I'd say save the spellcasting for the harder bosses and try to hone your melee against the grunts, etc. Parries and dodges and figuring out attack patterns, is the main focus against the bosses. Patience and not panic button mashing.

I think with sekiro, you have to find a way to deal a death blow, before the fight begins. Scope out the area, stay out of sight. Helps immensely.

Re: PS5 Stock: Where to Buy PlayStation 5 and When in March 2022

PhhhCough

Unsolicited advice:
Walmart+ is probably your best bet to get one, close to msrp. When Walmart has a restock, just get a one month sub for $15. It'll give you an hour access, to buy ps5, before the general public. Last Monday, they must've had ps5's available for members for an hour or so.

Re: Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin Demo Out Now on PS5, PS4 for a Limited Time

@lolwhatno for example 3drealms' duke nukem 3d came out(early 90s), it was 3 or 4 parts. The "shareware version" would be a trial of sorts, but it would include the entire first part. So for $5, give or take, you'd get a 5hr game or so, with nothing locked behind a paywall, except the rest of the game.

@Uromastryx man, I remember figuring out the button combinations to a an xbm demo disc, to unlock the demo for metal wolf chaos. Only for the actual game to never come, stateside, til recently.

Re: Gran Turismo 7's New Approach to Microtransactions Isn't Going Down Well

PhhhCough

How far we have come from a series that didn't require online to play, with zero microtransactions, to this.

Honestly, I don't care about MTs, so long as they don't affect gameplay. What do I mean? If I can achieve a car(supra), through playing or SOME effort, I'm fine with that. But if they purposely put some large arbitrary nonsense into unlocking a car(beat 1000+ races) or "just buy a MT", then I'll be upset.
