Re: Dying Light 2 Targets 2021 Launch in Poorly Thought-Out Update

I don’t usually comment on these kinds of articles but I wanted to mention that I agree with both of you and I do think it’s worth saying that this is indicative of 2021 journalism as a whole. Especially outside of gaming journalism, controversy drives almost all news nowadays and it’s rare to find a news piece that doesn’t have opinion inserted into it. I’ve come to accept that this is how PushSquare does business and I’m ok with it since they usually label it as an opinion piece or a soapbox. It’s pretty standard to have some bias in your articles since it drives clicks, views, comments, etc. The “why do people replay games” article is the exact same. I’ll say that it saddens me gaming journalism is dominated by this. I went to IGN for the first time in years the other day and couldn’t believe what their site has turned into.

Oddly enough I still think GameStop’s Gameinformer is the best example of how gaming journalism can be done. Sad they had to discontinue the printed version.

Re: Soapbox: Why Do You Replay Games?

ScottyG

My most played games of the past year are all games I replayed.

  • Witcher 3
  • WoW: Classic
  • Dark Souls
  • Pokémon Crystal
  • Breath of the Wild

It’s the reason people eat the same food over and over or watch the same movies multiple times. There’s only so much available that’s going to interest the average person they’ll always gravitate back to what they like best 🤷

Re: Leaked Elden Ring Trailer Sends Internet on Easter Egg Hunt

@Hyperluminal

While I do think this warrants an article, I know where you’re coming from.

I find my own frustration in this sites insistence on inserting Jason Schreier into their articles. I said this in the last Elden Ring article as well, adding him into this article adds no value besides serving as a name drop. The tweet he put out gave no more information than this article did, and apparently saying I told you so I’ve seen it is worth getting added to the story.

Re: Sony to Unlock PS5 Storage Extension This Summer

ScottyG

Yeah sadly my internal SSD filled by the end of January so I invested in a 4TB HDD for all my PS4 titles. The HDD still works great though I mean all the titles still look excellent the instant loading times just aren’t there.

Black Ops Cold War is the culprit here 😒

Re: PS Plus March 2021 PS5, PS4 Games Announced

ScottyG

Even though I’m waiting until June now to get Intergrade that’s still awesome they’re including FFVIIR next month. Also I’ve always wanted to try Remnant so I’m giving next month an A 👍

Lol where that ninja guy at that’s always approving these things?

Re: Call of Duty: Warzone Season Two Teasing Begins In-Game

I decided to give Cold War a second chance when Firebase Z dropped and I’m actually really enjoying it so far. Played with some settings to fix the unreliable frame rate on PS5 and it’s made it a much more enjoyable experience.

Firebase Z has actually proven to be my favorite zombies map yet. Multiplayer still isn’t as enjoyable as Modern Warfare 2019 was, but it’s not as terrible as I initially thought.

Re: Final Fantasy XIV Online Arrives on PS5 in April with Open Beta, Promises Huge Performance Boost

@nessisonett

I’d actually say this is one of the better MMOs to play if you want to play casually. New players just be warned some of the MSQ is very much a slog.

Also tip of the cap to Yoshi and his team. Blizzcon is coming in a few weeks and WoW: Classic TBC is going to be announced, probably for May. Releasing XIVs expansion and PS5 upgrade a month before that really was a 4D chess move.

Re: Like Clockwork, There'll Be a New Call of Duty This Christmas

ScottyG

Modern Warfare 2019 was my first CoD in 8 years and I loved it; Cold War has been a pretty big disappointment however and has renewed my skepticism in the franchise.

I think it was confirmed Battlefield is coming this year so at least we’ll have some options to choose from (in addition to Halo on PC).

Re: Don't Expect Diablo 4 or Overwatch 2 to Launch This Year

ScottyG

Not surprised by Diablo, but I am surprised about Overwatch. I’m looking forward to both so I was hoping to see at Blizzcon this month that at least one was on it’s way this year.

WoW: Classic will surely be having a resurgence soon with TBC reportedly coming in May. It’s a shame Shadowlands looks like more of the same.

Re: PS Store Critics Choice Sale Cuts the Price of Many PS5, PS4 Games

ScottyG

Wow this legit just saved me $10. Was gonna buy the Resident Evil 2/3 bundle for $30 tonight but I’ll just wait to get 3 tomorrow for $20 instead. I’ve beaten 2 many times so I didn’t want to re-buy it.

Edit: so for the US this is where the sale link takes you. It shows all the games but not the sale prices.

Re: Poll: Do You Have a PS5?

ScottyG

So far I’ve beaten Demon’s Souls (got the platinum), Black Ops campaign and plenty of multiplayer, Until Dawn (platinum), Astro’s Playroom (platinum), put about 40 hours into Cyberpunk, another 40 into FFXIV, and I’m about 10 into God of War.

I’m actually at the point of wanting to jump back on my PC to switch it up from single player games for a little bit. I figured this would happen around this time anyways.
