Re: Hands On: Cyberpunk 2077 2.0 Update Is an Outstanding, Game-Changing Overhaul

Poisonedpillsuk

I'll definitely jump back in see if I connect with the game more. I like the sound of the combat being a bit snappier , I thought it was a little bit loose when I first played through. I wish they would do something about the immersion in general though, hearing the NPCs in the city repeating the same lines constantly, day after day really impacts it for me. Also, aways found it weird that every single NPC in the game walked around by themselves, not allowed to have friends in night city apprantly.

Re: Xbox, Nintendo Reportedly Join Sony in Skipping E3

Poisonedpillsuk

Writing has been on the wall for a long time with E3, don't blame Nintendo not showing though, must be a torture trying to flog more life out of Mario Kart, Animal crossing and Zelda. In all seriousness though, coms have changed so much now with timed independent showings on YouTube and gamers being introduced to titles in development much earlier in the development cycle. The big reveals of E3 just Don't occur anymore. It could definitely become more niche though, a greater focus on indie devs as well as a focus on titles and innovations over a longer timescale.

Re: TV Show Review: The Last of Us (HBO) Episode 1 - Faithful Retelling Deviates in the Right Ways

Poisonedpillsuk

Enjoying it so far although I do wonder if I would enjoy it more if I hadnt played the game so much. Because its pretty much a carbon copy of the game in regards to main plot points (so far anyway) I don't really feel much tension, feels almost as if I had already watched the episode before because it felt so familiar. Not really a criticism but just my thoughts after finishing the first episode. Got to shout out the Set design and general ambience of the show though which absolutly nails the feel of the game.

Re: Sony Gates Customer Service Priority Behind New PS Stars Program

Poisonedpillsuk

Sonys customer support is already pretty much non existent. Although I own the Xbox I've been a pretty hard-core PS fan since they came on the scene. As every day passes and after every bad and in my opinion anti consumer decision Sony make I fall more out of love with them. Up to the point now where I hate to give them any money. The for the gamers tag line sounds more and more ludicrous each passing day.

Re: Sony Reiterates Stance on PS Plus Day One Releases, Believes in Premium Launches

Interesting that the Cinema approach is cited as a shining example of best practice . Cinemas are currently absolutely obliterated, the largest cinema chain in the world is about to go bankrupt. Whilst the netflix, subscription model is generally thriving. In theory I agree with Sonys principle but in the face of what Xbox is doing with GP and the already strained finances of people I can't see it working out for them long term.

Re: Poll: We Want You to Rate Your Favourite PS5 Games

Poisonedpillsuk

Difficult to rate in a way, some of the games are not strictly PS5 and I played them last gen but the improvements the Ps5 gave them have made them feel like completely new experiences to me for example GOW and Days gone (I'm in the minority for that last one I know) I'm playing Gran turismo now though and that really does feel next Gen, at least a 9/10.

Re: Poll: Did You Request a Cyberpunk 2077 Refund on PS5, PS4?

Poisonedpillsuk

@neon-xxiv ty this is a guy talking sense. Your right, no other product or industry could act like this and get away with it. The gaming industry not only gets away with it but the actual consumers which it blatantly tries to mislead and rip off clamber over each other to give sympathy to the developers and they put up with it. This is a massive industry which makes alot of money from us , the gamers. Theres nothing wrong in us demanding better. It's almost like gamers now have been conditioned to put up with this *****. Shrug it off, "dont worry it might be playable in a couple of months" and somehow those of us who deam it unacceptable and complain are made to feel in the wrong. Anyway , ultimately what really rubs salt in the wounds is that below all the glitches and bugs lies a bang average 6/10 game. I genuinely dont understand people who are talking such nonsense as GOTY contender. They must be playing a different game or have access to some next level drugs.

Re: Poll: Did You Request a Cyberpunk 2077 Refund on PS5, PS4?

Poisonedpillsuk

I bought it on Series x and feeling disappointed is an understatement. I think all the articles, reports and noise around the bugs are distracting people from the fact that the game just isn't that good. Combat is bland and clunky, the open world doesn't feel alive with so much opportunity missed to put in little bits of interaction. Referring to it as a roleplaying is also a bit of a stretch. This is an average game that was made for PC and the consoles were an after thought. I dont think any amount of bug fixing or patches are going to change the fact that the game is fundamentally average at best.

Re: Ghost of Tsushima Supports 60 Frames-Per-Second on PS5, Better Load Times

Poisonedpillsuk

@thefourfoldroot . Got to agree with your logic in the posts you have been making here. From what I interpret your main argument boils down to the fact that Sonys communication has been awful and when you read the speculation on message boards like this I dont know how anyone can disagree, let alone argue the opposite! I'm getting a distinct sense from Sony this time around that the "for the gamers" message is getting very much lost. I have and have always owned multiple consoles so I dont have a dog in the race , I just want clarity around the console & business model so I can make informed decisions around how to spend my money. There can be no denying that Microsoft are treating their customer base with more respect right now.

Re: All PS Plus June PS4 Games Available to Download Now

Poisonedpillsuk

But of a lazy offering this month
On the face of it seems like a good deal , two triple A games but let's be fair if your a moderate gamer you have had them both already or with even a fleeting interest picked them up for a few quid each in CEX. I would personally prefer some good quality titles which I may not have heard of . For those who some how haven't played COD , you are in for a treat though, great campaign & multiplayer.

Re: PS Now June 2020 Update Adds Dishonored 2, Metro: Exodus, More

Poisonedpillsuk

Psnow continues to disappoint me which is a real shame. I split my gaming between playstation and Xbox and I think the quality of Gamepass has probably spoilt me and it makes the offering on Psnow look all the more dire. Far few stand out games and the ones that are quality already widely available on Gamepass for months. Spiderman is great but in reality what gamer wouldn't have already played that/have it in the collection. I've also noticed that that amount of "filler" on Psnow is just crazy, tons of awful games available just to make up the numbers. I love my playstation I just wish this service was taken a bit more seriously by Sony and they would raise the bar around what titles they made available.
