Re: Poll: How Do You Feel About Final Fantasy 16?

johnny30

As an old guy gamer, I've been playing final fantasy since it started , I feel it needs to modernise after the same turn based, waiting for a bar to load gameplay for over 20 years . There are retro alternatives if you still need the turn based game like octopath traveler, 2d-hd version of earlier final fantasy games, dragon quest and recently like a dragon. I am a massive fan of recent DMCV and played a big chunk of ff14- still need to do shadowbringers dlc at some point . Hopefully ff16 success will also help Final fantasy 7 remake part 2

Re: The Response to Rocksteady's Suicide Squad Has Been Abysmal

I have absolutely no interest in live service games after playing destiny since 2013 , I got sick of it. I've bought thr latest expansion buy thst will most likely stop . Its very strange considering how well the arkham games were to this monstrosity. I get Sony want to earn thr money due to how well gtav have done but likely ely skipping on this, I never touched the avengers either.

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Forspoken?

Excellent game, easily an 8/10 game. I'm used to the cringy dialog as I watch loads of Japanese anime , plus the plot is quite a common theme in anime. Gameplay is awesome. The works is empty due to a disaster thst happens. So it's actually part of the story. I bet people complaining haven't really played it

Re: PS5 Gaining More Traction in Japan as It Tops Weekly Hardware Chart

johnny30

Software sales isn't that surprising, compared to ps2 Era, not many companies are taking risks or releasing fresh idea. Majority is remasters or sequels with incremental changes. Coipled with the fact everyone was gaming in lockdown so now that its over less sales. Saying that next few months are full of games so hopefully software sales increase

Re: Poll: Did You Buy One Piece Odyssey?

johnny30

I'm a fan of one piece. Need to catch up in anime as stopped watching after 900 episodes 😅 and dragon quest . I'll probably buy it but the story been told before in a lot of the mosou style games. Probably wait til it's in the sale as skint lol

Re: Poll: Would You Be Interested in a Detachable PS5 Disc Drive?

johnny30

I really don't see Sony dropping the ps5 physical version especially with the supposed slim version and rumored ps5 pro unless they redesign the digital version with a bigger hard drive or an extension to allow to increase the hard drive that was speculated when the ps5" was first announce in April 2020

Re: Placing Your PS5 Vertically Could Kill It, Unverified Claims Suggest

johnny30

@LP09 that's not the Scottish slang lol. Also it's a rare occurrence but it can happen. Folk moving their ps5s about, breaking the box liquid cooling is in; mainly because it's a corrosive substance and can damage the box over time. Plus standing it vertically, there's a risk of it falling over and getting damaged

Re: Placing Your PS5 Vertically Could Kill It, Unverified Claims Suggest

johnny30

Someone in my gaming group had some of the liquid metal seep out, as I shared a post about this yesterday. I did suspect it could be a wider problem if it has got out. I never stand any of my consoles standing up since ps1, as there's a risk of it falling over and being damaged plus I don't have room for it vertically anyway

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give The Callisto Protocol?

johnny30

Cant really give a full review as only played an odd hour as been snashing musnight suns and other games but so far 8.5-9 actually prefer it over dead space with melee combatant was scary crawling by that killer robot . I'm quite a scarey cat so horror games are way out my comfort zone but thought I'd give it a go 😅

Re: Hands On: Is Marvel's Midnight Suns Any Good on PS5?

johnny30

I'm about ten hours in. The difficulty curve isn't nearly as bad as x-comm games. Aa someone who's been gaming since the nes on 8mb graphics, graphics aren't that important for any game . Voice acting isn't the best but enjoy the various characters you can interact with snf build relstions ships along with strengthening attack moves.

Re: PS5 Shipments Reach 25 Million, But Still Well Short of Yearly Target

johnny30

In terms of software sales I'm cutting down on buying games as a lot are graphically pretty but lack the longevity as only 15-20 hours for $/£70 pricetag., lot of remasters etc hardly any games companies taking risks. Valkyrie elysium was poor, boring missions of beating up enemies , slightly different palette color etc but same enemies . Plus the fact a lot of games have been delayed to 2023 also have no interest in the subscription model as I don't game enough to be worth it as games rotate every 3-4 months plus hard drive space though ii do have 2 ssd on ps5 main drive and second 2tb nvme still doesn't last long

Re: PS5 Players Don't Want to See 60fps Die Out

johnny30

as i've said many times before, graphics have been too much of a focus, 30 fps is almost unplayable. as this late stage in the game, current gen consoles should easily do 60 fps . graphics should never be the focus

Re: Round Up: Star Ocean: The Divine Force Reviews Say It's Pretty Good

johnny30

I personally can't wait, it reminds me a lot of star ocean 4 from what I've seen especially with the android samurai much like bachstein. Hopefully it does well enough for another game or possibly star ocean 3 remake considering its set 200 years before star ocean 3 . I'm not bothered by visuals , too many games this gen and last gen have focused too heavily on graphics. Really hope there's more star ocean games in the future after disappointing star ocean integrity and faithfulness

Re: Sony Seemingly Scraps PS Plus Game Expiry Dates

johnny30

This why I'll probably never sign for anything more than the basic ps+ games usually change every 3/4 months. Unless Sony is in the middle of changing things but in the last few years Sony hasn't been transparent since Jim Ryan took over sk its not unsurprising.

Re: Trails into Reverie Brings an End to Cold Steel's Story in Summer 2023 on PS5, PS4

johnny30

@belmont yeah but reverie has 3 different characters you control , 3 different stories thst will meet at certain points. Also calvard arc ties in with two criminal organizations that are in the crossbell games, they have there own military school like trails of cold steel games. I wouldn't say the empire were afraid it was just due to certain supernatural things. Plus there's also a supernatural element that comes up in the crossbell games

Re: Trails into Reverie Brings an End to Cold Steel's Story in Summer 2023 on PS5, PS4

johnny30

@dancingmind yeah the calvard story arc follow a certain plotline from zero without spoiling things new main characters but characters from previous trails games show up as cameos. As reverie as the end of erebonia/crossbell saga as the gameplay also has changed its gonna be a big change like going from from crossbell to trails of cold steel . As Nihon falcon has added option for it to be more like an action rpg. The trails of cold steel gameplay is still an option
