Re: 16 Games Hit PS Plus Extra, Premium Next Week

tomassi

I'll try Kena and Monster Boy (it's been on my wishlist for years)! I said only yesterday that there's no point buying something like Riders Republic as it will end up on Plus at some point, being a Ubisoft game. It's OK. It's fairly cringey but it's a mix between Steep and The Crew 2 so it's enjoyable enough.

Re: Zool Redimensioned Brings Gremlin's 90s Ninja Icon to PS4

Zool was the game that alerted me to the fact I have epilepsy. Literally. Will not be buying this

Would love to see some classic Amiga games packaged up for PS though. How about a Sensible Software collection? SWOS, Cannon Fodder, Mega-Lo-Mania, Sensible Golf. These were awesome games!

Re: Star Wars Jedi: Survivor's PS5 File Size Might Be Ridiculous

tomassi

I read the article about Marvel Avengers free stuff the other day and despite not having a shred of interest in the game I DO like free stuff so thought I'd download my PS Plus copy. The file size was something outrageous like 120gb or something. Nah, don't like free stuff that much!

Can't say I'm overly interested in Jedi Survivor either. I've got Fallen Order and I like it enough, but the puzzle element is a huge turnoff and sometimes it feels like you are going round in circles because of the map.

Re: Need for Speed Unbound (PS5) - This Stylish Arcade Racer Has Substance to Match

I know I'm getting old, but this whole 'hey we're from the streets' style in games is just so lame and cringey. See also Watchdogs 2, the Volta mode in FIFA, The Crew 2 and a few other examples.

The worst bit is, it's probably been added by middle aged, middle class execs who THINK that's what people find cool

Either way, this game, like all the other NFS, will certainly end up on Plus one day, so I'll try it then.

Re: eFootball's Festival of Football Adds National Teams Ahead of the World Cup

tomassi

I so want to get into this. I play it very occassionaly for about five minutes and, although I don't love the gameplay, I feel I COULD love it once I've learned the ins and outs. But I don't game online so the complete lack of offline teams, modes, licenses and even difficulty settings etc just makes me turn it off again.

I really don't understand the strategy behind it from Konami? Like, just add in all the teams, an edit mode and unlock all the settings and you'd instantly increase the amount of people who play it. By all means add Master League etc at some later point, but at the very least make everything accesible offline for kick off mode just for some sort of variety!

Re: The Crew 2 Cleans Up 60fps Resolution on PS5 in New Patch

tomassi

@MFTWrecks I downloaded the Division 2 yesterday because it's now on Plus and I deleted it within about ten minutes. Whenever I paused the game for more than, like, twenty seconds, it booted me out and I had to start again. No time for online stuff like that. Just make a good offline game!

Re: Remember, PS Plus Premium Members Can Stream to Complete PS Stars Campaigns

tomassi

What is the reward? Just some picture of a boombox? I got ticks for Heavy Rain, Until Dawn and Detroit just by streaming them, but there's no way I'm downloading the whole of Returnal, Death Stranding and Uncharted 4 just to get a picture of a boom box

When do we start getting actual points that will contribute to getting decent rewards?

Re: Hardware Review: Backbone One: PlayStation Edition - The Best Way to Enjoy Remote Play

tomassi

I like the idea of this but unless I can remote play away from the home (where it's actually useful such as a plane journey or holiday abroad for instance) then I don't see the point in getting it. Can anyone who has one tell me if the remote play actually works well in those situations. No internet, no remote play. And if that's the case this thing is basically £100 wasted.

And can you play mobile games and Apple Arcade without having to sub?

Re: It May Be Time for You to Buy an Arcade Cabinet

tomassi

You can buy a raspberry pi pre loaded with 25,000 games of nearly every arcade machine and console ever. You can also buy an old monitor, wood, perspex, speaker, joysticks and buttons. I guarantee it will be cheaper than this machine that plays 8 games. How can be sure? Because I did it during lockdown. Voila! Your very own arcade machine that plays every game from Atari to PS1.

Re: Ubisoft Working on Fix for Assassin's Creed Syndicate Bugs on PS5

tomassi

That's good news, I always liked this one! Can we all now be honest and admit that the old style AC games were actually better than the new RPG style ones? I played about 20 minutes of Valhalla the other day and it's just, boring. Gave up on Odyssey a long time ago, and never even bothered to download Origins (although I will do somewhen).

Syndicate, Black Flag etc were way more fun IMO.

Re: EA Play Signs FIFA 22 on a Permanent Transfer, Debut Next Week

tomassi

Doesn't seem worth it at this point. EA Play is largely a waste of money on Playstation to be honest. X amouunt of games on there and 75% of them are made up of 5 years worth of FIFA, Madden, NBA and NHL. And no one is subbing per month/year for the arse end of an annual sports game surely?
