@shogunrok

I am up for it next week definitely would like a crack at the raid lair or even try escalation protocol I was going to join you on patrols earlier but was trying to get the caches done for sleeper quest.

I have a feeling the exotic scout rifle quest will appear next week bit like the sleeper quest from d1

Having raided with Robert I can also vouch the guy is NUTS he knows his stuff, my views on Warmind are a tad odd I am underwealmed and feel a tad confused by this DLC it feels slow and not very good for flowing and also the progression bugs which plaugued me since Tuesday have been a PITA that said I like Escalation Protocol, I love the new difficulty it gives some stupid levels of thought to boss battles just wish other people would think like me when it comes to strikes and not go hiding in corners (worm god fight)

Anyone wants to run strikes or escalation protocol feel free to add me on PSN

Re: Soapbox: The Last of Us: Part II Has Plenty to Prove at E3 2018

Ypmud

Wow some of these comments are just insane.

If it hadnt been for ND we certainly wouldnt have the current GOW (word up son).

TLOU2 will be amazing ND are known for going quiet and slamming out a game that breaks all boundaries (thinking of U2 Among Thieves nothing beats the first 20 mins of that game not even TLOU IMHO)
Now back on topic do I think TLOU2 will surpass its predecessor..... YES

My reasons behind this are simple ND have been watching how with anticipation with HZD and GOW faired and they will know that they have to not only raise the bar but send it up to the stratosphere to prove that they are sony's biggest and best software house and I dont blame them for trying to prove this point, its not like they will be worried if xbone has anything to compete with them as well it doesnt.

I loved TLOU and was gripped from the very first chapter right through to the end of the game it was brilliant however this game is widely regarded as ND's best game and in some eyes it cant be surpassed.

We need to wait until E3 and the gameplay reveal to understand if TLOU2 will manage to beat the unbeatable bar or break the fourth wall of gaming but I do feel ND are capable of this and hope it does happen.

Re: Poll: What Are Your First Impressions of God of War?

Ypmud

ok so the other half said i could use discounts and money off vouchers to get it oh boy its well worth the wait but incredibly hard lots going on with regards to controls etc

@get2sammyb you nailed it in the review i think even with the controls a bit wild etc it makes you a lot more cautious this is a true masterpiece and worthy of goty candidate i do feel spidey might blow us all away in september

@get2sammyb

No probs thats ideal I'm going to get it but might ask for it for birthday as thats in June I am avoiding all spoilers as I guess its going to be epic

Re: Review: God of War (PS4)

Ypmud

@get2sammyb

This is by far the best review of any game I have read from you I am not sure if im getting this until the end of may but I have to admit it looks utterly stunning did you do your review based on the pro or OG ps4 ?

Re: Poll: Has PlayStation Plus Improved in 2018?

Ypmud

i thought my biggest ps+ miss was rocket league until i tried it and thought i do not see what the fuss is about at all its good to watch on esports put very poor to play, that said im a huge fan of sony putting out older games i may of missed, i went back to bloodborne and still find it bloody hard, looking forward to mad max and still havent started tpp.

I suspect sony will up their game in summer months then it will taper off in september until november december time

Re: God of War Explains Atreus' Role During Combat

Ypmud

@YummyHappyPills Please go back to the doctors and request a change of your happy pills they are clearly not working.
As for your clear picking on someone who clearly likes his GOW franchise get a life and learn to think before you speak/type as your comments came over very much like you are trying to bully him.

Re: Feature: Five Years Ago Today, Sony Announced the PS4

Ypmud

I remember the day well I went over to my mates house supposedly to be introduced to some girl and me and my best mate watched the reveal both of us saying we would get one 12 months later i got one oddly enough on valentines day told my partner happy valentines day (the rest is now history) and ive probably played more on ps4 than i have on every other generation combined love the console
Roll on PS5 and surely it cant be like ps3 where it went pear shaped

Re: Rumour: Spyro Remaster Roaring to PS4 Later This Year

Ypmud

ok I think I just had a mangasm with excitement love spyro will be buying this day one without even worrying
spyro 1 brings back memories of ps1 on a cold 98-99 xmas to new year and sat infront of a 14in crt tv getting used to a ps1.
These are memories that my gaming life is built on I am more than happy to revisit them loving the idea cant wait lets hope they are as good as the crash remakes which were utterly stunning.

Re: Quantic Dream 'Surprised' by Allegations About Studio Culture

Ypmud

I work in a small group in an office at night and some of the conversations we have is bad but we are never ever offensive its usually banter and very light hearted.

However reading this and the way they have denied it I am wondering if there is some realm of truth in what has been said in the press.

That being said I have never finished a quantic dream game as I have always found them very very slow and dont flow so well

Re: Horizon: Zero Dawn Sweeps the PlayStation Blog Awards

Ypmud

Ok I am about to cause huge controvosy here

Persona 5 was broing and I didnt like Hell blade thought both games were bland and drab p5 was just horrifically boring and just not fun.

I agree HZD was my GOTY by stupid margin its unreal and also I agree that ACO was brilliant infact its great totally what AC games should be like huge open world and diverse not same missions recycled over and over again love the live events.

Shame D2 turned into a poo storm though that game could of done well if things hadnt have gone so wrong lets hope bungie get it sorted out.

Re: Bungie Plans on Making a Lot of Changes to Destiny 2, Details it All in New Blog Post

Ypmud

While I have hardly been on it since christmas I am wanting to get back onto it and look forward to the changes they claim will be made to the game.

However I do not feel the need to flame them and abuse them like some other people have done I feel they are listening and are trying to atone for their mistakes which is good not many other devs will come out and admit that things are wrong with their game.

Here is to season 3 and see what changes they bring in and hopefully a good expansion in Gods of Mars in spring

Re: Live: Watch Bungie Drop Details on Destiny 2's First Expansion

Ypmud

The first cut scene was shown and I was getting the itch for December 5 I personally dont care if its a tad "light" on content we all know the first 2 dlc's are normally a bit meh when it comes to things on destiny Bungie have made it clear that they want to make changes and give the community the game they want I love the idea of the seasons and massive sandbox changes throughout the year it shows a proper insight to the game and thinking about the year ahead.
I am not someone that believes DLC1 and DLC2 should be included in the base game I liked the base game as it was although I really miss the progression system and the girnd

Bring on December 5

Re: PGW 2017: Destiny 2: Curse of Osiris Has a PS4 Exclusive Map at Launch

Ypmud

Im sorry guys but MS and EA have been at this for absolutely years and it stank Activision and MS did it for yonks with COD and it used to drive everyone potty on PS but now the shoe is on the other foot who cars I dont actually care any more if its exclusive or not if its exclusive then its a permenant exclusive and that puts the entire argument to bed if not make it exclusive for 4 weeks then every platform is on a level playing field.

Re: Naughty Dog Responds to Sexual Harassment Allegations

Ypmud

I cant believe this has happened in one of the worlds most loved game developers HQ.
It isnt acceptable in a workplace its not acceptable in day to day life, I just do not get why people try their luck when they know its never going to happen. People in power trying their luck ewww makes my skin crawl

Re: Destiny 2 Retail Sales Down a Whopping 50 Per Cent in USA

Ypmud

ffs Sammy really you started a flame war!

ok the game isnt bad, I learned from my mistakes with the first one and bought the collectors edition with season pass that way I wont be paying over the odds for a game I genuinely enjoy I am a little bummed out with IB and TOTN I find really elitest, the raid is IMHO amazingly crafted its beautiful and HUGE.

But I dont mind spending money at launch for a game I know im going to cram hundreds of hours into and once ep3 comes out next september it will get a huge overhaul again just like they did with d1, I dont buy any of the silver its not where near as bad as fifa where its pure pay to win model though

Re: Soak Up the Snowy Scenery in Horizon: Zero Dawn's Frozen Wilds

Ypmud

@rejr erm no the witcher 3 is a plague on gaming now as every person wants to use the witcher 3 as the gold standard and IMHO Horizon absolutely obliterates the witcher 3, its that good you had CDPR congratulating Guerrilla about 2 days after release saying a masterpiece, I really enjoyed watching the interview with the guerrilla dev and the dev from CDPR

Re: You Can Take Gran Turismo Sport's PS4 Demo for a Spin Now

Ypmud

I am not sure about it I dont like the turtorial videos are in letterbox mode and not full screen, not keen on the music its too laid back for my liking.
I am also not sure this was the right way to go with the game it feels like driveclub and i really disliked that game.
Safe to say I am not buying the game until ive read a lot of reviews as I feel it might be money wasted based on what I have seen so far

Re: Review: FIFA 18 (PS4)

Ypmud

Ive switched from PES to Fifa this year and to catch up I bought Fifa17 on the cheap to play the Journey story line and I thoroughly enjoyed the story mode very good and gave a bit of goose bumps as hunter gets recalled to Man U .

Ive played a little bit of Fifa18 and was gobsmacked at how well it flowed gone of the days of a one person wonder and scoring stupid long range goals and or constant headers it feels more a sensible game and feels more of a footy sim that it should be.

After playing this years pes i was glad a i read all the reviews it was very very poor.

Re: Knack 2 Continues to Look Legitimately Awesome

Ypmud

Im going to get this for xmas as I cant bloody afford the silly number of games coming out this quarter, however I will say my first ps4 experience was Knack and I really liked it, but I am an old skool gamer and loved platforming games. I understand people will look at this and go meh.
If its not for you then its not for you but I will point out I dont comment on games that are not my sort of thing because I respect other people's views of games they like

Re: Destiny 2 Has a Measly 14 Trophies at Launch

Ypmud

has anyone thought they havent released a full list of trophies on purpose? I dont care im getting the game on release day cant play it till the thursday due to work but I really cant wait for it, the game looks great I wasnt too impressed with the beta for lack of content but I was really impressed with the step up in graphics and the first mission was really well polished lets hope the rest of the game is like this

Re: First PS4 Pro and Xbox One X Comparison Fares Unfavourably

Ypmud

The abosolute only reason i would ever consider getting a xbox 1 is for blu ray hd other than that its a waste of space for me, i dont see a single game on that console that makes me interested in it, all their exclusives look shocking.

Playstation had this right from day 1 of release of ps4 and I get a funny feeling come ps5 era they wont stop

Re: Review: Sonic Mania (PS4)

Ypmud

ok i really like it im a huge sonic fan so this game has had me glued to it, i have found some parts incredibly hard on the game but that doesnt mean its a bad thing its a good thing the bosses are fun if sometimes a pita.
If im honest i would give the game a solid 8 but would of preferred a more sonic 2 like special stage than the cd style one. the blue spheres are stupidly hard in the latter levels which is good and i love the idea of the extras being unlocked.

ive not finished the game as ive not collected all the emeralds and thats more to do with me struggling with the special stage levels than a lack of skill/ability.

all in all i like the idea of revisiting different levels its called sonic mania and im guessing the time line is in mania because of the time gem being stolen, either way i like it.
Christian Whitehead is a very talented guy who deserves a huge amount of credit on this game, I hope he does a portable remaster of sonic 3 and knuckles now.

And I definitely would like to see another game of this standard.
