Re: Poll: Are You Sold on PS5 Pro?

For about £500 I would buy it. £700 is crazy for a console though! Maybe once there is a hefty price cut, but I might just wait for PS6 depending on how long that might take!

Re: Poll: Are You Sick of Soulslike Games?

jmace86

The problem I have, is that I love the From Software games, but no other Souls-like I have ever played has ever come close to being as good.
A lot of them just feel wrong and many of them think that the way to make a Souls-like is just to make the game hard by having enemies with ridiculous amounts of health so they take ages to kill rather than making, which is not really any fun.

I would really like the Souls-like style in more games that are just easier to be honest, like Jedi: Fallen Order and Jedi: Survivor. Both have great mechanics and very Souls-like combat mechanics, but the games are pretty easy, which I am a big fan of!

Re: The Callisto Protocol (PS5) - Just Like Dead Space, for Better and Worse

I was really excited about this when it was first announced, but after the Dead Space remake was announced I just lost most of my interest in Callisto Protocol.
I will probably pick it up once it is discounted or on PS Plus or something, but for now I am holding out for the Dead Space remake to get my Sci-fi horror fix.

Re: Poll: Did Sony's Latest State of Play Livestream Live Up to the Hype?

jmace86

I cannot really see what more people could have been expecting. We knew there were not going to be any huge first party games like God of War 2 or whatever is next from Naughty Dog, so no-one can be disappointed they were not there.
What was there was excellent. Some really big games (RE4 remake, FFXVI, SFVI) and some smaller, but still exciting games, like Callisto Protocol, Tunic being announced, PSVR titles being shown, plus a load of other stuff.
Really had something for pretty much everyone (except maybe if you are only into racing games, I do not think it had any of them that I can recall).

Re: Reaction: Xbox Game Pass Is the Thorn in PS5's Side

jmace86

I do find it really astounding that Sony do not have any real answer to Game Pass.
PS Now could be it, but currently has nowhere near the same quality of offering.

Particularly with new game prices being so high now, I think it is inevitable that Sony are going to lose some sales to Microsoft, particularly for the people who are mostly buying multiplatform games, many of which are going to Game Pass but are full price on PS4.

Re: Talking Point: Did Sony Lie About PS5?

jmace86

I think it is quite clear that Sony's statements around generational divides were untrue.
I understand continuing to support previous consoles, but I would also like to see more game exclusive to just the PS5 rather than having so many games being cross-generational, particularly when talking about games coming out in 2022, such as God of War Ragnarok.

Re: Facebook Founder Mark Zuckerberg Doesn't Think People Will Buy Wired VR

jmace86

I think he is wrong that no-one will buy wired VR, but I think that everyone would prefer it to be wireless and there are definitely many people who will not buy wired VR if there is a wireless option available.
Having bought the PSVR a couple of years ago, I will probably not buy another wired VR headset. I am looking more at getting the next iteration of Oculus Quest, whenever that may come out.

Re: The New PS Store for Web, Mobile Is a Dramatic Downgrade

jmace86

Really, really poor update to be honest.
I did not really have much of an issue with the old store anyway, but this a huge backwards step!

My biggest complaint is the removal of the wishlist functionality. I really just cannot understand why Sony would remove this as it makes people less likely to purchase games, as without being able to wishlist games people are much more likely to forget about them, or not notice when they go on sale and purchase them.
