Re: Horizon Forbidden West: All Valor Surges and Best Ones to Use

TomK2

Which is the best value surge. I'm trying to figure out whether or not to go for and fully upgrade powershot, oversheild, radial blast or critical boost. I've already fully upgraded ranged master, I am mostly a hunter play style boîte and arrow head on guy. But which one do you think would overall be the most benefiting to get and upgrade all the way?

Re: Sifu Updates to Include Difficulty Settings and Accessibility Options

@purplemouse well said. Well said. I wish more people had this same mindset. I compellingly agree with your points and don't get why it upsets certain people so much that some people just don't find enjoyment in punishing games. And why if a game retains its harder difficulty why it matters that it would have an easier one. Idk. I'm really looking forward to Sifu having an easier difficulty than its factory setting. I normally play games on medium and ever so occasionally on hard. Mostly normal. Aside from the point just really liked your comment and well said very mature!

Re: Sifu Updates to Include Difficulty Settings and Accessibility Options

Yes I'm so excited to see they are going to implement different difficulty levels. I'm a father of 4 and run a construction company but I love to game in my free time. I don't have a whole lot of free time these days so it's hard for me to say Master a game like Sifu at its factory difficulty. I normally play and beat games at a medium difficulty i don't want them too easy but I don't have tens of hundreds of hours to play and replay a game until I can master its mechanics. I really wanted to play Sifu but when I saw all the commotion about its steep and difficult learning curve I decided to skip it out. Once the difficulty options become available I will most likely see it back on my radar and as soon as I play and beat Horizon Forbidden West (and maybe Elden Ring, maybe put Sifu in between the 2) I will most likely be playing Sifu now! Yes 👍

Re: Report: PS5's Price Could Be $50 Cheaper if You Go for the Digital Edition

No I want the full disc featured version. The points made by Push□ and Sony are understandable why they would want to tread towards an all digital platform as it wiuld financially make more sense. But I'm 39 and have owned every Playstation console made since the introduction of the original Playstation. I remember on my first Playstation I figured out you could take your game disc out after it'd loaded and pop in your favorite music CD and play your game to the music of your liking. Of course better keep thr game close because if it gets to a point where it needs to load it could not without the disc. Ahh, and the pricey but powerful Ps3. I was in awww of the Ps3 in terms of console design, power and options like a Blu-ray player when they were still brand new. While I'm on the subject of Ps3 let me say I think thre new Ps5 design is simply beautiful and abstract and a sight to behold, and have not seen a console with this much beauty since the Ps3 (which cosmetically I thought was a good looking console I was proud to display on my entertainment center). Well in this current generation of Ps4 and One X I have bought some games brand new (talking the must-haves play day 1 games) but I'd say 60% of all the games I bought I bought used. And almost every single game I bought, played and beat I resold (unless it was a game I wanted to keep to play again) and that is an option when you have physical media. You can make back some of that hard earned money. Sony may not like that, but as an "average income" consumer I cannot afford to shell out $60 a game for all of the possibly around 100+ games I've bought this generation. That equals out to around $6,000+. I probably paid around $3500-$4000 for all my games new and used combined. Resold most relatively cheap but prob made back around $1,000-1,200 back in resale. So I have about $2,750 tied up on $6,000+ worth of games. Another very important reason is when ppl buy a physical game they feel like they are getting more bang for their buck. You know the feeling you just left Best Buy with a brand spanking new copy of GoW and that excitement of getting home and ripping the plastic off and pulling the game out, putting it into your console and setting up your games jewel case on display while waiting for your game to download. Or when you can literally fill up almost an entire smaller bookshelf with games and it's like decorations for a gamer. My thoughts and opinions. Not everyone will agree with me, but I'm certain many, many ppl do. Thank you game on and BRING ON THE PS5 ALREADY!

Re: Soapbox: I Want Better Levels on PS5, Not Bigger Worlds

TomK2

I agree. While I think open works titles are good for some, there are the others of us who maybe don't have time to play a 100+ hour game because of work, school etc.... but still want to enjoy captivating and engrossing games. I prefer more linear games with a well narrative story. 20-30 hours is ideal. I know I dont get excited hearing about game worlds getting bigger. I just don't have time with work to rome aimlessly around a world comparably big as planet earth. I want interactive environments rich in detail with surprises around every corner. I hope game developers take into account those of us who love to play games but are limited on our time to play. I want quality, not quantity.
