Re: Everyone's Talking About How Little Physical PS5 Games Contribute to Sony's Bottom Line

ATaco

I'm fine with physical going the way of the dodo. It's time. People keep saying that if you own the game you can keep it forever but then we have companies like Ubisoft that can shut a game off entirely if they want, so ultimately it doesn't really matter if you have the disc or not. It's a losing battle and not one I particularly want to fight. What I DO want to fight is companies like Ubisoft that are able to kill games like that in the first place.

Re: Last Chance to Play These 8 PS5, PS4 Games on PS Plus

ATaco

I thought F.I.S.T was pretty good, if a bit janky. Same with The Plucky Squire. I think I'll try Road 96 next and probably finish up with Night in the woods if I still have time. Abiotic Factor took so much of my time recently but I don't regret a second of playing that game.

Re: Poll: Are You Sold on 007 First Light?

ATaco

It looks like a skillful blend of Hitman (with some improvements!) and Uncharted. I just hope that the entire game is crafted like that and not just what they've shown us. These developers have given me no reason to doubt them yet.

Re: September 2025 PS Plus Essential Games Available to Download Now

I own Stardew on like 3 other devices so the interest isn't there for me. Viewfinder looks like it'll be a short experience (not always a bad thing) and Psychonauts 2? Sure I'll get to that eventually. The first one was pretty good, though I played that one years ago and don't know how well the sequel compares. Overall a pretty bland selection to me. This is offset by the recent extra offerings which had a lot I'm interested in playing.

Re: Battlefield 6's Open Beta Has Completely Blown Up

@Frmknst
What exactly makes it like CoD? Please don't say TTK because there are clips out there of BF4 having the same kill times with the same weapons as BF6. People just need to relearn not to run out like headless chickens trying to be Rambo like CoD rewards.

Re: UK Citizens Using the Photorealistic Death Stranding 2 on PS5 to Bypass Porn Blocks

ATaco

This is what all you prudes begged for. Take away the porn! Let them all touch grass!

Except what you don't realize is that it won't stop there. There's already a few games that handle mature and dark themes that are being forcefully delisted and removed from places like Itch. So yeah, once they take away your delicious murder gore games too will you still be cheering? It will be too late by then. You shot yourselves in the foot with this one.

Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Patch 2.3 Showcase Announced for Tomorrow

ATaco

I'm currently playing through the game and I don't see what the hype is all about. I have friends that keep going back to do more playthroughs but as I'm playing I'm feeling the experience kinda...meh. Like, I love the aesthetic but then you see like the same 6 NPCs with their weird ass walk cycles and then even the immersion breaks. I don't really enjoy the combat, I don't enjoy the stealth, I don't enjoy the driving and while I do think the characters are at least passable, this game really doesn't do anything special in any regard. I really wanted to like this game but I'm kinda happy that I held out until it was released on Extra.

Re: 'Sure, Here's a Revised Version': The Alters Taken to Task for Blatant Use of Generative AI

ATaco

I honestly do not care about AI. It has become too ingrained in our lives that if you try to fight it, you're putting up a futile battle. It's here, it's staying, you gotta accept it.

Let's say you really enjoyed the Alters. Perhaps it's one of your favorite games this year. Would finding out that it had some AI work in it retroactively take away your enjoyment of the game?

Re: New GTA-Style PS5 Gacha Game Fixes the One Thing Players Hate Most

ATaco

I will now try your Gacha. With smart saving you can get any character you want. Imo it should never be difficult to pull for a character, they can just make their money off cosmetics. Cosmetics that you can't get if you don't have the character. So it's in their best interest to make sure that at least the character is easy to acquire.

Re: Talking Point: What's Your PS5 Game of the Year for 2025 So Far?

ATaco

Civ 7 was a big disappointment, Oblivion was a fun nostalgia trip but so far for me The Alters is what's really sticking with me.

Edit: I totally forgot Wilds came out this year too. While I eventually got bored of it, playing with friends and just grinding for armor was one of the highlights of this year. I think I'll still give it to the Alters though.
