Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows (PS5) - Striking Open World RPG Is a Real Cut Above

RubyCarbuncle

I was extremely wary to look at the comments here given the hate this game got and is possibly still getting but instead I'm seeing a lot of positivity towards it which really pleases me. I have the Digital Deluxe Edition purchased and I'm really looking forward to playing it when I eventually have the time. I've been wanting this setting in an Assassin's Creed game for as long as I can remember and it's finally here.

Re: Talking Point: Is PSVR2 Worth Buying In 2025?

RubyCarbuncle

Haven't played on mine for quite some time as I prefer to play PCVR now. With no wires to worry about I just find it a far better experience. Still though if you don't have a PC headset I would say it is worth picking up as many PCVR games are also available on PSVR 2 and vice versa.

Re: Palworld Distances Itself from Pokémon Patent with Recent Update Amid Nintendo Lawsuit

RubyCarbuncle

I remember when Pokèmon launched because I've been playing them since then. Over the years the bigger they became the more arrogant they became, too big for their boots and complacent. Now I know they'll very likely win the Lawsuit but I hope in the long run it really hurts them and the Pokèmon Company which in turn forces them to make much better games instead of the mediocre garbage we've been getting for years.

It's a shame it took a Playthrough of this game to make me realise just how bad and how stagnated Pokèmon has become but it is what it is.

Re: PlayStation Joins Social Media Shift as Bluesky Rockets in Popularity

@T-Bone09 I haven't been on Twitter since March so I can't link you to anything now but I'm telling you I was seeing Right Wing content from people expressing extremist views towards immigration and I was also seeing quite a lot of bigotry too. I don't think that's protecting free speech. If you can prove this isn't an issue on Twitter however I'd appreciate it.

Re: Feature: Liam's PS1 Memories

RubyCarbuncle

My first ever PS1 game was a helicopter shooter called Nuclear Strike. It featured live action cutscenes of real actors and I remember being blown away by it at the time. At first I thought the PlayStation was just going to be a novelty and things would go back to the Sega vs Nintendo thing yet here we are 30 years later.

Re: Nintendo and The Pokémon Company Want to Stop the Sale of Palworld

RubyCarbuncle

There are many games that feature creatures being captured in some kind of device and don't get me started on games that feature Mounts. I'm totally convinced had Palworld not received the attention it did then it's very possible Nintendo wouldn't have cared at all.

I'm 100% against Nintendo here. If they win the ramifications going forward could be enormous.

Re: Sony Says the Best Time to Get a PS5 Is Now

RubyCarbuncle

As much as I like PlayStation, I've grown up with all PlayStations including PSP PSP Go and Vita I personally don't think it is a particularly good time to pick up a PlayStation. For a start a lot of games that were once exclusive are now on PC which is a good thing but it doesn't make the PS5 a must have like before as a result, it just means people have more of a choice now.
