Re: Square Enix Plotting More Retro Revivals After Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster Success

__Seraph

@Cordyceps You really didn't like FF16 did you? Square are still releasing turn-based games, Octopath 2, Bravely Default 2 just to name two recent-ish ones. Don't get me wrong, plenty about Suqare annoys me too, but they are still making decent games. I'm also all for remasters of Xenogears, chrono trigger and Final Fantasy Tactics, if they are creatively bankrupt then i'll eat up the re-releases like a good boy.

Re: SEGA Uninterested in Being Acquired by Sony, Microsoft

__Seraph

Sega won't sell to Microsoft unless they go tits up, which i doubt considering the huge franchises they own. Maybe i'm being naive but I just can't see a huge Japanese third party selling to Microsoft, makes no sense in the long run.

People are also saying 'Well Microsoft helped SEGA when Sony crushed their console business!!!!" Eh? Theres no Sentimentality in business; that's naive.

Re: Sony Says Not Making PS5, PS4 Exclusives Free with PS Plus on Day One Is a Strategy That's Working

__Seraph

Extra is far more attractive to me because i'm always at least a year behind the new releases anyway, I genuinely think the selecton of games is better.

There are exceptions to this rule though and it's name is FF16. (it comes out two days before my bday, so lucky me)

I do also have a gamepass subscription, but that's for exclusive content and a different variety of games.I did day one Planet of Lana recently, which is quite unlike me.

Re: Poll: What Do You Think of the Final Fantasy 16 PS5 Demo?

__Seraph

@NEStalgia Theres like 3 or swears in the demo. People complaining about bad language....sorry that's just bizarre to me. I mean if it was every two sentences i would understand, because then the script would suck, but this game, at least in the early hours has a decent script, nowhere close to Forspoken.

Re: Reaction: Solid Xbox Showcase Should Give Sony Some Incentive to Stop Being So Damn Cloak and Daggers About PS5, PS4

__Seraph

@dschons Yeah i was gonna say the same. Sony have plenty on the backburner, they just either chose not to show it, or it wasn't ready. It's a poorly kept secret that Santa Monica are working on a new Sci-fi IP single player. As for Naughty Dog, the rumours say a new IP set in a fantasy setting and possibly The last Of Us 3.

After today, I'm planning on picking up a 1tb series s when the xbox exclusives begin to drop, and i'm not worried about Playstation lacking good 1st party stuff. We must be patient.

Re: Microsoft Goes Scorched Earth Over UK's Activision Buyout Block

__Seraph

This is also another good way to perpetuate the pathetic console wars, the comments on PureXbox yesterday were a ***** show, and Pushsquare got mentioned several times. Can't we all just get along? I like Xbox, PS and Nintendo, lets all be friends!

A lot of Xbox fans are dying for this merger to go through, and I just don't understand why. Really strange thing to get upset over

A few people were saying that this is helping Sony create a Monopoly......considering the studios Microsoft own, how can that possibly be a thing?

Re: Reaction: Sony Continues to Fumble the State of Play Format

__Seraph

Yeah it wasn't a particularly exciting state of play, but it wasn't too bad. Looking forward to Resi 4 and the Extra games, It's a shame that Suicide Squad is Live service though, that genuinely turns me off the game. Rocksteady are the ones who've fumbled in my opinion. Also thought the last Nintendo direct sucked. Waves and waves of DLC to the point of parody, more JRPG ports, then they ended with Zelda for the 2nd direct running.

Re: PS Plus Extra, Premium Get 17 More Games Next Week

__Seraph

Stupidly good month. Especially for lovers of classic JRPGs! People will be losing their minds over Legend of Dragoon. The PS1 games have had quality of life functions added to them as well. Maybe Sony is starting to work on these ps1 games???

Re: You'll Now Have a 'Much Easier Time' Finding PS5 Consoles, Says Sony

__Seraph

I thought it had been quite easy to buy them directly from Sony for a while? I got a tax return back in June and went on to the Sony Playstation site and but one with zero fuss. Maybe i was lucky? the reason i went straight there is because my friends had been saying there was usually stock now, and that was back then.

Re: You'll Now Have a 'Much Easier Time' Finding PS5 Consoles, Says Sony

__Seraph

@LifeGirl Fair enough if the PS4 suits your needs, but the jump in fidelity and frame rate is night and day, and i don't usually bother with that kind of stuff. My PS4 was loud, slow and ran cross gen games quite badly in comparison. The games will improve over time as well. Not sure about your situation but this sounds like sour grapes to me.

Re: Sony's Cloud Streamed PS3 Games Are Causing a Storm on Social Media

__Seraph

I must be lucky because whenever I streamed ps3 games on psnow they worked almost perfectly. Played through Darksiders, All the Batman Arkham games and many more.

All i hear is how ***** it is and it worked fine for me.

On the other hand i'd still prefer to download them. If we can't download them, i'll get over it.

Re: PS Plus, PS Now Merged Service Revealed, Goes Live in June

__Seraph

Let's wait and see what's fully on offer before making judgments eh? It is a bit vague indeed, but this might turn out decent, lets wait and see.
I usually enjoy push square comments but the whining and entitlement on this article is ridiculous.

I understand this may sound whiney

Re: PS Plus, PS Now Merged Service Revealed, Goes Live in June

__Seraph

@carlos82 My laptop is about as powerful as a base ps4 and it can run ps3 games better than a ps3. It's not that Sony can't do it, they just obviously don't want to spend the money. Doesn't bother me tbh, but them not being able to do it is certainly internet myth making at it's finest.

Re: Round Up: Elden Ring PS5, PS4 Reviews Crown One of the Best Games of All Time

__Seraph

Although i agree that a week is a bit tight, the majority of the scored reviews DID finish the game. I don't understand why people get so annoyed if a game gets rated well. Contrarian human nature? That goes for a lot of you on here. I'm sure the unscored reviews will be mainly 9s when all is said and done.

The technical issues will be fixed i hope.

It's funny how scores seem to mean more than the actual content of the review. I wish we could just dispense of them.
