Re: Marvel's Avengers PS5 Version Delayed to 2021

SegaBlueSky

Still tempted to pick up Avengers when it's much cheaper just to go through the singleplayer campaign. It's a tough one and I feel for them, because the idea of a live service Avengers game is actually pretty cool. But the finished product just didn't quite hit the right notes, and the poor technical performance of the beta on my base PS4 didn't help.

Re: Poll: What Do You Think of the PS5 UI?

SegaBlueSky

Personally I'm really loving the overall speed and instant resume, but also very impressed by the hints system, speech recognition and PS Store integration. So much less wasted time as a result of these improvements!

Re: Poll: How Often Will You Use PS5 Backwards Compatibility?

SegaBlueSky

I expect I'll be using it a lot at first, as I've got a fairly big backlog of games to get through, and will be selling my PS4 to help fund my PS5. I'd rather play them on PS5 since I only have a base PS4 so I'm quite keen to have them running at higher specs where supported. Probably after a year or two it'll be less important to me though.

Re: Did the PS5 UI Reveal Just Get Teased by Burger King?

SegaBlueSky

If it was just a competition then it would seem a bit weird to have a countdown when so many other places are doing “win a PS5” promotions. So I think it’s a bit more than that, but what exactly? Who knows, not going to get drawn into getting excited! Either way we’ll see the UI soon enough.

Re: Looks Like Genshin Impact Has Been a Gigantic Hit

SegaBlueSky

Gave it a quick try over the weekend out of curiosity - it is a bit brazen with its influences for sure, the storyline and characters are cheesy as heck, and there are a baffling number of systems and currencies to get to grips with. But, I did enjoy it and am keen to play more of it. The world design is lovely and the combat seems like it'll get interesting with the way you combo characters. If you bounce off corny anime games then it probably won't be your cup of tea but for me it kinda added to the charm in a weird way.

The only thing that really puts me off at this early stage is that there just seems to be so much to do - looks like it might need almost MMO-like time investments to really play and enjoy. Could be wrong, just the impression I got so far.

Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Promotes 'Great' PS5 Support at Launch

SegaBlueSky

@zupertramp There's defiitely a weird duality to it, you're right. Personally I've got a massive backlog of PS4 games I haven't played so the chance to catch up on all those while waiting for the PS5 games to get a little cheaper is a big incentive to get the console sooner rather than later. Otherwise, I'd still be getting a PS5, just probably not as soon.

Re: All PS5 Launch Games

SegaBlueSky

I'm actually pretty damn impressed by this lineup now. Of all those confirmed my top two are easily Demon's Souls and Spider-Man MM, but other than those I'm also really interested in Assassin's Creed, Astro Bot, Bugsnax, DMC5 (never played it first time around), Observer, Sackboy and The Pathless. That's...quite a lot! On PS4 there wasn't anything I was really excited for until Bloodborne came out.

Re: No Man's Sky Origins Update Available Now on PS4, Adds Huge Amount of New Content

SegaBlueSky

@b1ackjack Last time I checked, it was OK - certainly very playable, but have to admit I look at the buttery smooth framerates on more powerful platforms with a very envious eye. Hoping we get some improvrments on PS5, if we do I'll likely start from scratch and enjoy the full experience.

Got to give Hello Games credit where it's due - the ongoing support and content for NMS has been astoundingly good. Love it.

Re: Poll: Has Xbox's Bethesda Buyout Made You Reconsider a PS5 Purchase?

SegaBlueSky

Not a fan of Bethesda so it hasn't influenced me at all. If the rumour about Sega turned out to be true that would be different, mind! Either way, I'm very much hoping to get a Xbox at some point anyway, as I'm very excited for Fable and Hellblade, and would love to give Forza a go at some point. But PS5 will be the first next gen console I buy and likely my "main" platform.

Re: The Internet Thinks Microsoft Will Buy SEGA Next

SegaBlueSky

OK so first - I really think this is utter nonsense and can't imagine how Xbox's next move after spending 7.5 BILLION dollars on an acquisition would be to do it again.

But - if we're entertaining the possibility - then, well - I'd be buying an Xbox pretty damn quick! Have to admit I love that Shock Blue controller. It's gorgeous.

Gotta say, the reactions from the rabid fanboys on here is sitting on that fine border between funny and depressing. Get a grip folks.

Re: Will Bethesda's Games Be Exclusive to Xbox From Now On? We Don't Know Yet

SegaBlueSky

@AFCC It's a hard one to call - on the flip side, can they possibly afford not to publish the games on PS5? They just spent nearly the entire operating profit of PlayStation between 2013-2019 on ONE acquisition. Even with Microsoft's vast fortune, how long does an investment like this take to be profitable? Or do they just write it off for the sake of bragging rights and not really worry about if/when it makes its money back?

Not an easy answer and I'll be fascinated to see how they handle it.
