I remember when this guy started, back in the 90:s, selling used console games. Like everyone else, when they get too successful, they turn into A-holes.
I hope this will become mid budget AA projects, and not yet another bunch of AAA games, that will take 5 years to make.
It's too bad they can't use the Psygnosis name and logo.
Not only were their Amiga games stunning, when it came to music and graphics (though the gameplay was often kinda "meh", like the Beast games), but the artwork on those big boxes was amazing.
"Agony" and "Walker", on the Amiga, were my favorites.
What an annoying "valley girl" sounding voiceover.
Why didn't they adapt the comicbook story, from the 2600 manual?
Remember how "faithful" the Hoskins Mario movie, was to the source? Yeah, that's the feeling I get about this game.
Only used it twice on PC, to play through the Jedi games. Easily the worst service, when it comes to adding content. Especially the barebone version on consoles.
Been playing through the two PSP games, and even though they're not as great as the first trilogy on PS2/PS3, they are still way more fun, that the boring direction they took the latest two.
I wish they would go back to the more classic style, for the next game. More focus on epic action, than drama. And get rid of that damn annoying kid.
Well, I hope the trend continues, and we can have pretty girls in more Sony games now. And, yes, even my wife prefers pretty girls in games. She just rolls her eyes, when the internet gets upset about them.
I couldn't care less at the moment. This gen have been incredibly boring. Both AAA and Indies are just releasing the same kind of games, over and over again. Maybe I'm just bored of modern games. I'm having much more fun, with PS2 games now.
They should scale back on the npc AI, to lower the load on the poor CPU. PS5 Pro won't improve the performance much, since the CPU is only 10% faster. Maybe a few frames and that's it.
Yeah, I still got my PS2 hooked up. I've been playing through Maximo 2 and Darkwatch, two games I didn't get the chance to play back then. And I'm actually having more fun discovering "new" games on the PS2, than playing on my PS5.
Amongst my friends, I'm still the only one, that has upgraded to PS5. If it keeps getting great games, it might even survive the entire PS5 generation. This far into the next generation, the PS2 and PS3, was either dead, or only got Fifa games.
I give up. I've played about 17 hours now, and it's just a chore to play. If they had cut down on all the padded and unnecessary crap, then they might have been able to finish the story in this one...
I enjoyed Remake, but even that one had issues. But none of them as bad as in this one.
And the amount of nonstop dialogue, is driving me nuts, during combat.
I see it suffers from the same endless talking, as in Raiden V. I hope you can turn it off. I don't want unnecessary distractions, when playing a shmup...

Re: Stellar Blade PS5 Fans Irate Over Alleged Censorship
It's not just cleavage being covered up, but also they removed some of the blood and gore.
When a company tells us, it will be uncensored, and then they go in, and cover up cleavage and tone down violence. It's the lies I'm mad about.

Nice damage control
Re: Stellar Blade (PS5) - A Stellar PS5 Debut Destined to Become a Fan Favourite
Didn't find anything wrong with the english dub in the demo. It's usually much worse in JRPG's.

I just want a standard edition, that I can easily buy in a local store.

I had hoped that the story was at least 10 hours long.

Re: GTA Publisher Laying Off 5% of Workforce and Cancelling 'Several' Games
Just shut down the entire AAA industry.
Then reboot it, with lower budgets and original idea's.
Re: Stellar Blade's Demo Had Way More Daily Active Players Than Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's
No wonder, since it's a brand new IP, and the demo was much more fun, than the one we got for Rebirth.
I hope Sony starts bringing out more new IP:s from now on, instead of just pumping out sequels/remasters.
Re: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Has Sold Around 2 Million Copies, PS5 Player Data Suggests
The change from turn based to pure action, didn't go well with a lot of older fans, including me.
Re: Indie Smash Hit Vampire Survivors Is Finally Coming to PS5, PS4 This Summer
One of the very few "rogue" games I actually enjoy. Very addicting.

Wow, what a surprise...

Skinsuit with the extra jiggle, will be my choice then.
Cue all the comments calling me an incel 😂

Here is the original on the C64.

Re: Beyond the Ice Palace Gets a Castlevania-Inspired Sequel 36 Years Later on PS5
Hope it's not yet another rogue or souls-like.
Re: Beyond the Ice Palace Gets a Castlevania-Inspired Sequel 36 Years Later on PS5
Loved the original on the C64.
But the original was more like a Ghost n Goblins game, not Castlevania.

Re: Dragon's Dogma 2 PS5 Patch 1.060 Isn't the Update You're Waiting For
Yeah, this feels like a janky WRPG, from 2007, but with modern graphics.
Personally I think the artstyle is incredibly generic.
Yet another overhyped game. I don't even understand the praise for the original, which also was janky and boring.
Re: Sony Hires Superstar Korean Cheerleader to Cosplay as Stellar Blade's Eve
Well, I hope the trend continues, and we can have pretty girls in more Sony games now.
And, yes, even my wife prefers pretty girls in games.

Re: Most PS5 Players Say 60fps Is a Must
@Vivisapprentice
I'm almost 50, and even the games on my Atari 2600, ran at 60fps.
Re: 'Smaller' PS5 Exclusives Still Reportedly Coming Later This Year
About damn time. I'm totally burned out by all the boring cinematic AAA games.
Love Astrobot, so I hope the rumours are true.
Re: New PlayStation CEO Hiroki Totoki Starts Temporary Role Today
What I want from the next CEO.
Move PS HQ back to Japan, and make more AA first party games again.
Re: Jim Ryan Leaves PlayStation as PS5 Set to Become Its 'Most Successful Console Ever'
Doubt it will beat the PS2 at that.

I wish it was a physical product, so I could smash it with a hammer. 😂
Re: Devs Allegedly Pondering the Point of Sony's PS5 Pro Upgrade
I just wish that they had given the Pro a much faster CPU. This means that CPU demanding games, will still struggle on the Pro...
Re: Stellar Blade PS5 Demo Drops This Week, Progress Carries to the Full Game
I'll check out the demo.
I'm still not sure about this one.
So many hyped games lately, have ended up being disappointments for me.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Rise of the Ronin?
I enjoyed Ninja Gaiden, but I'm just not a fan of their later Souls like games.
Re: Capcom Simply Must Improve Dragon's Dogma 2 PS5 Performance, Concludes Digital Foundry
They should scale back on the npc AI, to lower the load on the poor CPU.
PS5 Pro won't improve the performance much, since the CPU is only 10% faster. Maybe a few frames and that's it.
Re: Rumour: GTA 6 Could Slip as Far Back as 2026 Due to Development Issues
So a 2028 launch title for PS6 then...
And maybe GTA 7, before I die of old age on PS10 😂
Re: Dragon's Dogma 2 Slated for Adding Sinister PS5 Microtransactions at Launch
So no easy way to fast travel, in a huge open world game? I don't have time for that.
Re: Dragon's Dogma 2 (PS5) - This Could Be the Apex of RPG Adventuring
I'll wait a couple of months, and hope it's been patched and polished by then.
Re: PS5 Pro's Proprietary DLSS-Esque Upscaler Sounds Superb
Too bad they didn't give the CPU a major upgrade as well. It might become a bottleneck.
Re: MGS3 Remake Main Menu Shown, and David Hayter's Played the Full Game
At the moment, I have zero hopes about this and the Silent Hill remake.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Hi-Fi Rush?
You don't need to stay in rhythm, you get better score if you do, but you can just hack and slash in your own style, if you want to.
Re: PS5 Pro's Rumoured Spectral Super Resolution Tech Could Be Transformative
Think I'll just upgrade my PC instead.
Re: E3's Spirit Lives on with Geoff Keighley's Summer Game Fest on 7th June
I can't stand this guy.
Just announce games, online, and skip the rest of the boring crap.
I'll bet we'll get more embarrassing Kojima worshipping...
Re: PS4 Is Still Getting Firmware Update Improvements, By the Way
@cuttlefishjones
Yeah, I still got my PS2 hooked up. I've been playing through Maximo 2 and Darkwatch, two games I didn't get the chance to play back then. And I'm actually having more fun discovering "new" games on the PS2, than playing on my PS5.
Re: PS4 Is Still Getting Firmware Update Improvements, By the Way
Amongst my friends, I'm still the only one, that has upgraded to PS5. If it keeps getting great games, it might even survive the entire PS5 generation. This far into the next generation, the PS2 and PS3, was either dead, or only got Fifa games.
And PS4 still has the better UI.
Re: Nobody Wants to Die Looks Too Good to Be True on PS5
I hate cinematic trailers.
Show us gameplay!
Re: Final Fantasy VII Rebirth (PS5) - Strong Sequel Seeks a New Direction

But none of them as bad as in this one.

I think I'm done with this franchise.

Re: Preview: Rise of the Ronin Shows Promise, But It's No Showstopper Yet
What might keep me from playing this, is because I'm totally burned out on open worlds.
I hope we get a demo.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth?
@TommyNL
So if you don't like a Sony exclusive, then you're just a Xbox fanboy?
Grow up.
Re: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Director Already Teasing What Comes Next
They need to cut down on the terrible side quests and bloat.
Not sure I'm gonna return for part 3, after playing Rebirth.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth?
Did Ubisoft co-produce this?
So many terrible and pointless side quests, and other useless bloat. The first 10-20 hours was fun, but after that...
They should have kept it at 30-40 hours. There's just not enough story in here.
I think I'm done with Final Fantasy.
It's just not the same franchise I grew up with, during 90:s.
I'll give it a 6, because I had fun in the early part of the game.
