Re: Naughty Dog Teases 'All-New Content' for The Last of Us Day 2021

Trikeboy

@Col_McCafferty Agreed. Joel was an ***** that only did one good thing simce the outbreak. If the game was set a few years earlier, Joel would have been one of the Hunters you fight in the original game. People say he is good and bad, I disagree. I would apply that to Tommy. While he started off bad, Tommy would go onto help establish a community for everyone to be safe. Joel became a criminal and smuggler. He only cared about himself.

Re: Soapbox: Don't Dismiss Bloodborne Because of Its Difficulty

Trikeboy

Articles like this confuse me. I fully agree that Bloodbourne is a great game and should be played by everyone. It was one of the first games I bought for my PS4. However, in the impossible scenario that the game got ported to Xbox or Switch you would see so many people complaining it was an old game and should be skipped for a newer game. Internet people are weird.

Re: Ivy and Zasalamel Return in SoulCalibur VI

Trikeboy

Well, I see Ivy still hasn't gone clothes shopping. I mean, seriously, how much does she have to show? Sure, when I was 14 year old horny loser I would have been undressing her with my eyes, but I'm not 14 anymore. At least she looks fun to play as.

Re: Sony: We Announced Some PS4 Games Too Early

Trikeboy

I tend to agree that games get announced far too early. Death Stranding didn't even have a name or engine when it was revealed for example. Compare Sony's E3 to the last presentation. I was disappointed because a lot of the stuff shown was already announced last year. The Paris Game Week show was so much better than E3 because they brought new announcements.

This is something I like about Nintendo. They don't have massive shows that show games well in advance. Everything that was in the Switch January Direct and slated for release this year, has released this year. People were a bit skeptical on Xenoblade 2 but nope, out Friday. The flip side of that coin is "What about next year" so yes, you do need to give your customers something to anticipate which was Kirby and Yoshi. Even far off releases like Metroid and Pokemon did get mentioned but they didn't cobble together some nonsensical footage. The name alone was enough, like The Last of Us 2 would have been enough.

Re: Injustice 2 Adds Two DC Characters We've Never Heard of and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Trikeboy

Me watching the trailer:

Ahh, Enchantress, the most annoying DC villain seen in a movie (and I'm including the Helen Slater Supergirl from 1984 in that). Don't care.

Ohh, Atom, yeah, don't care.

Is that a sai? The evil version of Katana? A bit obscure.

WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMFG YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It sucks we have to get Enchantress and Atom but the Turtles alone is worth the price. They are most certainly DLC characters and not ones cut from the original game.

Re: Sony Is in the Best Financial Shape It's Ever Been In

Trikeboy

This is great but it is still mostly Playstation keeping the company on it's feet. Also, they shouldn't get too big a head about Spider-Man Homecoming. It is only after they made a deal for Marvel Studios to use the character that they are seeing money from a Spider-Man movie. Major props to Kaz though, he is doing a good job.

Re: Reaction: Sony's Fast and Fiery Paris Games Week Presser Beats Lukewarm E3 Show

Trikeboy

I have to agree that this show was much better than E3. I am more excited going forward with my PS4 than I did from E3. Detroit is a game that I loved the first time I saw it but then felt uninterested in it during E3. Now I'm back to loving the game with that new trailer. I actually shed a tear while watching it. Also, Spider-Man showed unscripted gameplay that was all over the earlier footage. It wasn't much but I liked seeing real gameplay.

Re: Assassin's Creed Origins Microtransactions Confirmed, Helix Credits Make a Comeback

Trikeboy

Three highly anticipated games release on the same day. All full price. One is filled with Microtransactions and loot boxes, the other two are the complete game . The DLC for Wolfenstein actually sounds like DLC and not cut content as well, letting you play as other characters in new locations in the US. I'm going for the complete games. Sorry Ubisoft, no money for you. Now to decide if I want Wolfenstein on Friday or wait for the Switch version.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 184

Trikeboy

This weekend, well, I have to put down my PS4 and Xbox controllers because of Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle. Its a new IP so I have to give it a shot. I know it's using old IPs but its the a new IP as much as Smash Bros was a new IP on the N64. I may throw in a bit of Dead Rising 4 if I get bored but I'm set with Mario for at least this weekend.

Re: July 2017 NPD: Nintendo Switch Stops PS4 Party

Trikeboy

As an owner of all current machines it is great to see Nintendo getting back to its strengths. A strong Nintendo is great for all gamers, even if you don't play their games. Sony and Microsoft step up their game in response (Sony more than Microsoft so far). Spring is normally a slow time for games as we come down from the winter push of content. For example, would we have seen the amazing Horizon Zero Dawn in March if Nintendo didn't release the Switch in March? Maybe, maybe not.

@Mahe Switch owners are not strapped for content. Yes, there isn't as much content for the Switch compared to the PS4 and Xbox One but Nintendo's release schedule makes sense. Rather than release a bulk of content and have large breaks between releases (like Wii U), they have staggered their first party and partner exclusives so there is at least one large game every month till at least the end of the year while supplementing it with "smaller" titles. There are a lot of great games on the eshop. I got my Switch at launch and I currently have 19 games for it. 19 games in 5 months is pretty good. Especially when I actually want to play the games I bought.

Re: Japanese Sales Charts: PS4 and PS4 Pro Continue to Outsell Switch

Trikeboy

Mid what gen? Playstation's gen? Why should any company decide to base their hardware release date on the competitors release date? That is moronic. If the PS5 releases in 2019, that will be two years into the Switch lifecycle and the Switch will have more games available than the PS5.

Also, a design masterpiece? What are you smoking? There were numerous issues with the console at launch. Perhaps you have forgotten them. Screen flickering, disk eject issues, audio and video problems etc. What about using HDR and VR on the Pro? Did you enjoy the 4.50 update? The Xbox One is just as well designed as the PS4, if Microsoft didn't cripple it at the E3 reveal it would be doing better. But since you are fanboying, I can see why you think so.

Re: Japanese Sales Charts: PS4 and PS4 Pro Continue to Outsell Switch

Trikeboy

@Mahe Do you remember how many games were available for the PS4 and 3/2DS when they came out? The 3DS was heavily criticized for lack of games. The PS4 (and Xbox One) had so many last gen ports in it's first year as well. That is not true any more. And why? The systems have been out for years (PS4 2013, 3DS 2011). The Switch has been out less than half a year. If Sony released the PS5, without backward compatibility, in March, do you think the system would have the same volume of titles as the PS4 has today?

Re: Is Monster Hunter Finally Coming to the PS4?

Trikeboy

"The rumour is that the fifth entry in the famous animal slaughtering series will be quite unlike previous instalments, incorporating a large open world and focusing on the Western market. Apparently the game will be a little more accessible than its predecessors, removing timers and making the action much easier to understand."

So, it isn't a Monster Hunter game then. It is a watered down imitation. Why not just make that with a new IP attached?

Re: Is Monster Hunter Finally Coming to the PS4?

Trikeboy

@oatmealwarrior92 "Im honestly tired of playing MH tied to a portable device in which I constantly need to charge . I just want to sit down relax and play 10 hours straight as I do most games on the weekend "

You are aware you can play the 3DS while the AC Adapter is plugged in, right?

Re: A New PlayStation Vita? The Ridiculously Stupid E3 Rumours Have Begun

Trikeboy

As a Switch owner I will welcome a new PSP for the simple fact that multiplatform games will have to be scaled down a bit which basically opens up the market for Nintendo. Also, the Switch is no competition to the PS4, or Xbox One, but a new portable will give the much needed competition Nintendo need to step up their game.

Re: Sony Temporarily Cuts PS4's Price in Europe to Counter Nintendo Switch

Trikeboy

@Gold_Ranger Both sides were acting like petulant children over the SNES CD. Sony wanted instant access to all the licenses Nintendo had cultivated and Nintendo under cut the deal by talking to Phillips behind their back during negotiations. Hiroshi Yaumachi was a power hungry leader. It is why Nintendo dominated in the 80s and 90s. I much prefered Satoru Iwata but he didn't have the drive Yaumachi had.

Re: Sony Temporarily Cuts PS4's Price in Europe to Counter Nintendo Switch

Trikeboy

Happy owner of a PS4, Xbox One, and in the morning post, a Nintendo Switch (it better be in the morning post). It is a bit petty but business is business. Sony needs money to survive and along comes a new device that brings in a game that kinda under cut PS4's latest massive release. Sony more so since as a company they aren't doing so good and only really get most revenue from the Playstation section of the company. Also, remember that Horizon already had a release date announced BEFORE the Switch got a specific March 3rd release date. If Sony are petty for lowering their prices, Nintendo are petty for releasing a new console just days after a massive release on PS4. I want to play Horizon but it will have to wait till after I'm done with Zelda. It's my all time favourite game franchise.

Re: Talking Point: Should Sony Move Horizon: Zero Dawn's PS4 Launch Away from the Nintendo Switch?

Trikeboy

I have my PS4 and am eagerly waiting for Horizon: Zero Dawn. However, I did preorder the Switch and I know that on March 3rd, I'll be playing Zelda no matter what stage of Horizon, or any other game I own, I have reached. Even if I didn't buy a Switch, I would have been playing it on Wii U. I want to enjoy Horizon so I would prefer they move it maybe a week earlier. At least a week of play time will feel better for me. Delaying it is not good. I had hoped that Nintendo would have released the Switch and Zelda on the 17th of March. 17 days of Horizon and then Zelda but nope, only four days.
