Re: Destruction AllStars (PS5) - A Confident But Flawed Start for Chaotic Car Combat Game

SoulsBourne128

Well, I can't say I told you so but I told you so lol

Still, a 6 is an decent score for a game like this. Let's just hope the developers continues to communicate with its playerbase and improve many of the game's shortcomings if we REALLY don't want this to become the next Drawn to Death or Hardware Rivals (I'm still surprised that game still has its servers up). Like you said, there's potential here, but we have to wait and see what holds for the game in the future.

@Katsuhono Yeah, I can see your point. And yes, that Darth Vader grind was super tiresome. Although, in the case for this game, is just to see some story challenges with very few cutscenes that one can see on Youtube, which kinda sucks (for me) cause I want to earn these by myself instead of having to rely on someone uploading videos of these lol

What can you do, I guess.

With so many people her defending and criticizing the game, in the end, it really just depends on how Sony will see the game. You could one day continue to have a blast with the game despite the criticism, and then BAM, server shutdown announced for next year just because it sadly didn't meet Sony's expectations. Really hoping the devs would actually listen to feedback and hopefully continue to support the game.

At the very least, they should add Sweet Tooth in the game. If Rocket League could get a Twisted Metal collab, why not Destruction All Stars, right?

@Katsuhono I'd actually would like that lol Though highly doubtful since it would mean people who actually spent money on the coins just to unlock these missions were pointless lol

Though appearantly you can actually obtain Destruction Coins through challenges and such, which is something I just realized now lol Strange that the article didn't point it out. I still find this decision weird, especially when it's a $70 online only game. This would have been fine if it was a F2P from the start, instead of "Free for 2 months".

Also, I don't want to be like one of those guys, but while I can see the reasons on why people here defending this decision, I can't help but feel like this would have been different if the game was multiplatform or better yet, an Xbox exclusive lol

People here really need to understand that just because Rocket League was good, that doesn't mean Destruction All Stars could have the same success. Just look at what happened with Disc Jam, Hardware Rival, Dead Star or Drawn to Death.

And mind you, I'm still interested on trying the game out (I'm one of the few who actually finds the gameplay fun, although the art direction is definitely all over the place). I'm just worried the game won't last long, even after being offered on PS Plus. After all, Sony is not well known for their recent online multiplayer games. Of course, GoT: Legends, GT Sport (though not as favored as some of the other GT games) and Dreams are exceptions but what about Drawn to Death? Or Driveclub? Or Tomorrow Children? Or Ready Set Heroes? Or Predator Hunting Grounds, which granted, is still supported, but who knows how long will the servers continue to hold up?

@Constable_What And Hardware Rivals. Remember when people thought it was going to be the next Rocket League? Then it just kinda...fell into obscurity?

Same can be said with Disc Jam. Like Hardware Rivals, it was offered on PS Plus and while not completely dead, it's not as actively supported as it once was.

The only PS Plus multiplayer game I recall that did manage to continue to live on was Fall Guys. Though one exception won't guarantee the next one to be as successful.

I'm still interested on trying out Destruction Allstars, but I'm worried it'll suffer the same fate as some of Sony's other multiplayer games like Drawn to Death and Hardware Rivals. But hey, we'll just have to wait and see.

Re: Rejoice! Joe's Diner Has Gotten a PS5 Patch

SoulsBourne128

@darkswabber From what I have read, the idea is that you are on a night shift, tasked to keep the diner tidy all while those spirits terrorize the place. Is a good concept but the execution is rather weak. It's mostly trial and error, and it's barely even scary. It's like it's trying to be like FNAF, but fails to understand what made that game successful.

Regardless though, it's a lot better than the dev's previous game, that's for sure.

Re: Ubisoft Shoves XP Boosting Microtransaction into Assassin's Creed Valhalla a Month After Launch

SoulsBourne128

Kinda expected to be honest. Though I've seen much worse MTX practices. I guess it's nice for people who don't have enough time to grind. I get that it looks scummy but it's Ubisoft, what did ya'll expect lol

Honestly, atleast it's not as bad as locking necessary content through a paywall (not referring to standard DLC). Now THAT'S something to complain about. Like that battle royale game Don't Even Think where the devs thought it was a good idea to lock a new were class and a drone weapon through a paywall. Few months later and the game died. No longer available on the PS Store. I guess that what happens when you actually force the players to pay money just to get good or have fun.

Re: Demon's Souls PS5's First Review Pours on the Praise

SoulsBourne128

@get2sammyb Agreed, though try telling that to those from r/demonssouls. So many posts there criticizing some of the changes, from the biggest (certain boss themes) to even the smallest (characters having grunt sounds). I understand where they are coming from but man, even if the remake does something that's as good, if not better than the original, people there will still find a way to complain about it.

Had to take a break from visiting that site. Reminds me of the time Dark Souls 2 got released and gained a lot of nitpicks from the fans.

Re: Demon's Souls PS5's First Review Pours on the Praise

@TG16_IS_BAE The reviewer did acknowledge the music and called it good but not as good as the original's. Personally, some of the tracks like Flamelurker and Astrea I actually kinda like, but then you would have something like Phalanx's theme where it lacks the memorable rhythm it had before.

What I would personally love to see Buepoint do is adding the original soundtrack as an option for those who prefers the classic rendition. If their SotC remake managed to keep the original music, then I don't think it's impossible for them to do the same for DeS.

Re: Talking Point: Are You Worried About the Future of Western RPGs on PS5?

SoulsBourne128

What I would like to see if Sony could make their own Elder Scrolls/Fallout equivalent IPs. Like how about a fantasy game open world RPG based on Ghost of Tsushima Legends' take on japanese folklore.

Or maybe an open world rpg spinoff of Horizon Zero dawm where we can create our own characters and it could take in different regions around the world? Just think of fighting a loch ness monster robot in Scotland, or a dragon-like robot in Japan or China. That would be sick imo.
