Re: All The Game Awards 2024 Winners

I only recently played Astro Bot and I immediately got the hype, it was just pure gaming fun and celebration. Metaphor is my personal favourite of the year, so happy to see that get a few gongs, and Balatro is so addictive and succinct it had to be recognised as well.

Re: Talking Point: Would You Want a Steam Deck-Like Portable PlayStation?

springer17

I'd definitely be interested for the right price. If it's too expensive then it's not worth getting over a Steam Deck or similar, but if they go the cheaper route it likely wouldn't be able to run the same games as whatever console they're on by then. It's a balance, but I will say I've played my Portal a lot more than I'd expected to, especially with a family sharing the main TV, so any way to make that more versatile and not so reliant on an internet connection would be appreciated.

Re: Vast Majority of Gamers Say Elden Ring DLC Should Never Have Been Nominated for Game of the Year

springer17

I'm in agreement, as much as I loved playing SotE it cannot be considered a separate entity as it's reliant on owning and having played a lot of Elden Ring. Give it it's own DLC category and it wins hands down, but would anyone say the Valhalla expansion from God of War: Ragnarok should be eligible for entry? It's technically got an even lower bar for entry considering it was also a free addition. No, because it's an add-on, not something that can be experienced as its own entity.

Re: 17 Games Land on PS Plus Extra, Premium Next Week

springer17

@Judal27 Ishin's not set in the same timeline so you'll be fine to play it with little knowledge. I jumping in and I've only played Like a Dragon.

Other than that I'll be trying Killer Frequency and Dying Light 2, I never stick with plus games to be honest though, likely be a 'try for a few hours and then give up' like most other months.

Re: Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered Sounds Like a Ridiculously Good PS5 Upgrade

springer17

Paid £20 for the complete edition on PS4, got the platinum, it was fun but it's not worth me paying any more to play it again. Does seem like they've done a lot of work to bring this up to more recent standards, but was it really needed at all? I'd argue no, but for a £10 fee it's better than reselling a game in it's entirety for full price cough*Until Dawn*cough

Re: PS5 30th Anniversary Orders Screwed Up by Argos in the UK

springer17

This doesn't surprise me at all, had a mare trying to get a simple controller from them earlier this year, 2 orders cancelled immediately, one that should have been received, then when questioned why it didn't show another was 'sent' for next day delivery, then cancelled. Ended with a conversation with a manager and a £30 gift card. Won't order anything from them any more, only buy if I'm in store and know they've got it.

Re: Dragon Age Series Ditches Those Disgusting Spiders in The Veilguard

springer17

I can see why they've made the decision to remove them. It should be an option, but when you have a vocal minority saying "we won't play a game with spiders in" then it's not a big leap to remove them because you want their money as well, plus it's not as if people who don't have arachnophobia are saying "we won't buy the game if it DOESN'T have spiders".

Personally it makes no difference to my enjoyment of a game, but as I said, it should be an option. You don't order a burger as is and complain if there's cheese, you just request for it not to be there on your specific burger, so as not to impact others' experience or enjoyment.

Re: How to Pre-Order PS5's 30th Anniversary Collection

springer17

I don't want (or more accurately don't need) the Pro, I just want to see if I can nab a Portal, but if not I'll settle for modding my existing one. Wish they could filter it by what you want to order, so the queues can be more specific to the popularity of the item.
