Re: Game of the Show: Top 5 PS5, PS4 Games from E3 2021

@get2sammyb I’m shocked Ubisoft didn’t give up on Rocksmith. But this model and targeting all those app based guiar learning tools seems perfect.

It really is an amazing learning tool. It’s taught me so much, and got me playing guitar. I’ve since started real lessons as well, but as a song learning tool it’s unmatched. I was fully playing stuff like Cheap Trick’s Surrender at 100% before ever having a teacher.

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Resident Evil Village?

I loved it. It might be my favorite, except for the nostalgia that 5 has for me because it got me into the series (besides failing miserably as a kid at 3)

Perfect length, never stayed in one place too long. Nice side stuff and backtracking. Perfect imo. Also nailed the story and I loved all the villains

Re: Reaction: What Next for PlayStation?

You made a really good point. I thought I was just getting older and that’s why the news seemed less interesting, but i honestly question why I log into PS 4 times a day anymore. Sony just isn’t doing anything exciting and when there is news it’s a quick burst that lasts for a day or two.

Re: Soapbox: A Resident Evil Outbreak Reboot Makes Far Too Much Sense

4-6 players has me hopefully it’s not another asymmetrical type of deal. Hope it can celebrate the franchise and put iconic hero’s and villains against each other in scenarios like Outbreak.

I did enjoy Resistance for the first two or so weeks but once Masterminds became leveled up and you got a noob on your team, it was miserable.

Re: Soapbox: I Can't Keep Up with Service Games

I had to quit playing PVZ Battle for neighborville for this exact reason. I loved the game but then it started to become a chore for me to complete dailies etc and I started to get stressed out by it!

I’ve switched to SP only games mainly now because I know I’ll feel the same way with so many games going the live service/battle pass route.

Re: Soapbox: PS5 Pricing Is Setting Releases Like Returnal Up to Fail

Stragen8

This is the game that makes me want a PS5 in March versus next winter - but even I’m unsure if I’d pay that upon release.

Fantastic article and I hope well written articles like this can help some change happen with regards to how Sony prices games - having a spectrum of prices would be nice, and unproven new IP without a huge amount of hype shouldn’t be priced to fail at 70$

Re: Soapbox: Having My PS5 Launch Day Nerfed By Amazon

It stinks this happened to you, but for others that had the same thing occur, it’s good to have someone with a bit of PR weight to their name in the same boat.

If I had this and called Amazon US they’d be like ‘sorry, can’t help, anything else I can do for you today?’
