Re: PS5 Price Increase Confirmed for UK, Europe, Japan, Canada, and More

Pusher2021

Not really surprising when seeing what people are willing to pay to scalpers smh. Sony gets away with a lot (they need more sponsors for their acquisitions). I love gaming but €80 for a game took the fun away (+ €10 upgrades) with PS. I used to buy a lot of €60 games but with their price hike it felt like they like to offend me as a customer. Even PS/PC games (Rollerdrome) can have a difference of €10. With crazy prices, like energy, people will be attracted to Game Pass even more. Was excited for the PSVR2 but that will probably have a crazy price too.

Re: Relive the Last Dance with NBA 2K23's Period Appropriate Michael Jordan Campaign

I used to be so excited for new sports games many decades ago. Like putting wind factors, weather implementation, futsal, ... instead they started to implement MTX ... and more MTX For me, it took the desire out of those games & learn the mechanics but nowadays I seldom play them. A shame really because they look cool & without the MTX (or other f*ckery), a lot of fun

Re: Reaction: WTF Is Going on with The Last of Us PS5?

Pusher2021

To steep for me because owning 2 versions already but even though the game is worth it when never played before, not tweaking gameplay elements in a remake is not a good sign, if true oc.
That said, a poll Spawn Wave made said only like 25% wanted to see gameplay tweaks & the rest was fine with just a visual upgrade.

Re: Round Up: What Was Announced at Summer Game Fest Live?

Pusher2021

Oops, guess I’m the only one who thought TLOU Part 1 looked impressive, like TLOU Part 2 (including gameplay mechanics). I get that it’s the 3rd time this game launches & a full price will not persuade me to buy it again but I love to revisit it someday. The reason they did this is because they know it will sell like crazy when the TV show launches (first footage I saw was quite authentic to the game). I’m dying to know what ND new project is about!

Re: Virtua Tennis Star Tim Henman Returns for Matchpoint on PS5, PS4

Pusher2021

Love the Virtua Tennis games (very arcade) but Top Spin is a lot more deeper. The first game rocked on the kinda new Xbox Live.
Played this demo on Steam which is not bad but not spectacular either (graphics & gameplay).

But it would be lit if they brought a tennis game with all the legends, male & female!
Still play VT on the PSP

Re: Microsoft Bigwig Implies PS5 Is Losing Marketshare to Xbox

Pusher2021

@Apfelschteiner S series has RDNA2 features. I see a lot of parents with younger kids buying this console + game pass (best value). If you don’t have a 4K TV, you’re good. You don’t have to pay €80 for a new game either. I, myself, stick with the series X, PS5 & Switch (far away from next-gen but selling like cookies).

Re: Ghost of Tsushima Dev Is Moving on After Two Years of Updates

Pusher2021

Loved the game and I hope to see new IP's but I wouldn't mind playing a sequel. Love the setting of games like this (would like to see a new Tenchu). Hope the Trek To Yomi will be decent too.
On Netflix there is the Age of the Samurai: Battle For Japan (6 episodes - 45 min per ep.) I'm going to binge soon (I hope)

Re: Best Racing Games on PS5

Pusher2021

Playing a lot of racing games the last 2-3 years on different consoles:

Circuit Superstars (XSX) (not the most easy one but when it clicks, it's very enjoyable)
FH5 (XSX)
Grid Legends (XSX completed - visuals are more than okay imo)
Wreckfest PS5 upgrade (PS5)
Dirt 5 (XSX)
Hotwheels Unleashed (XSX)
Horizon Chase Turbo - Senna DLC (NS)
Hotshot Racing (NS)

Forza Motorsport 7 (XSX)
GT7 (a lot of nostalgia but with a controller not the best/most fun for me (except DrLic) (PS5)
Project Cars 3 (XSX - a bit of a weird one but okay)
F1 2021 (XSX)
Rally Rush Origins (NS)
Real Racing 3 (iPad)
Art Of Rally (XSX - need to pick it back up)

Re: Hands On: Is GTA 5 PS5 Worth It?

Pusher2021

Tbf, if you have an option to get the $10 upgrade, I can understand the customer's pov for taking it if they really (really) like the game (or never played it before) but for me personal, it has to stop somewhere. And I'm NGL, I expect a unparralled/top notch GTA (technical advanced/awesome story/ ... like a new standard for open world games).
I still remember how groundbreaking GTA3 was I hope they can deliver!

Re: Hands On: Is GTA 5 PS5 Worth It?

Pusher2021

@Don_Corleone Saw the memo, didn't get any tickets (got the upgrade though). Not for everyone in Europe ...

GTAV: got the og & PC version but not going to spend any more money on R* until maybe GTAVI (only if it's really good!)

Re: Poll: What Did You Think of Sony's Latest State of Play?

Pusher2021

People were expecting more because of the SOP badge. Sony should've released just the trailers during the week. SOP makes sense when they have to say something like releases & giving info on Spartacus or a full blown story trailer of a new hyped game. DLC for Returnal is cool & for a milisecond I thought GOT DLC was something too. But that game was Trek to Yomi, also inspired by Akira Kurosawa movies & expected to be on Xbox Game Pass upon release. Looks interesting!

Re: Horizon Forbidden West Is Getting Review Bombed on PS5, PS4 for No Reason

Pusher2021

@Singels + 100/100 reviews don't help either. I can be wrong here but didn't Deathloop have those 100/100 reviews and PS only people were not ok with that because MS bought them? I mean,
this game was in development before they bought them ....
The game is good overall. We shall see the same thing if GT7/Starfield or any other game with potential gets some 100/100 reviews, I'm sure of that!
