Re: Silent Hill 2 Has Been Massively Successful on PS5, PC

Ashina

I'm happy for the devs. There's been a lot of doubts about SH2 Remake before the release and when it did, there's a lot of positive reception to it ever since which is amazing.

Personally, I enjoyed it and I'm someone who wasn't a big fan of the OG SH2 (I like it, don't get me wrong but I prefer SH1). I got to say, I'm not that scared of horror games nowadays, not even modern RE games did it for me but SH2 Remake, while playing it around midnight, let's just say I keep taking breaks once in a while because the dread this game gives can be too much sometimes and this isn't even the kind of game that relies on cheap jumpscare and that's saying a lot about the game's atmosphere

Congrats again to the team and I'm hoping this success would lead to a remake of the OG SH (I know Shattered memories exist but....shut up...)

Re: Square Enix Backtracks, Suggesting Tifa Isn't Best Girl After All (for Cloud)

Ashina

When it comes to FFVII's love story, I don't really have a personal choice here but if we go about the canon events of the OG FFVII leading to Advent Children, Tifa is the obvious endgame girl for Cloud, regardless of how you feel about the relationship between Cloud and Aerith.

Square is just playing it safe as to not anger their Tifa/Aerith fanbase

Re: Lists of Sony’s Cancelled Live Service PS5 Games Paint a Worrying Picture

Ashina

I'm just hoping that all those cancelled live service games meant that Sony saw the light and day after the success of Astro Bot and wanted to try doing more single-player games with the same element.

Sony could still do live service games. Hell Divers 2 was a success for them but that's a game that already has some multiplayer elements built in it and is a game that isn't trying to chase trends but rather, was a fun PVE game of its own. Sony should be wise enough by now on how they would invest in GaaS

Re: Reaction: Sony's Live Service Push Has Been a Disaster of Utterly Insane Proportions

Ashina

On one hand, it's a good thing that Sony cancels these GaaS games this early.

On the other, it's sad to think that Bluepoint's 1st original game would be a live-service that could have tainted their brand had Sony decided not to cancel the project.

Looks like it's going to take a long while before we could see the next Bluepoint game and it could be a PS6 game

Sony has truly wasted their time and money this generation

Re: Happy 30th Birthday to PlayStation

Ashina

Happy 30th anniversary. Got to admit, that I am a PS fanboy (but hey, I'm also a Nintendo fanboy tbf). Started my journey with PS1 and since then, i've played all of the PS systems. PS1 still holds up as my all time favorite gaming console with the PS4 in close 2nd. Lots of games that I love even to this day started mostly on PS1, e.g., FFIX, FFVII, MGS1, Castlevania SoTN. While those series didn't exactly started with PS, it's what introduced me to these amazing series and the reason why I still love them to this day

Re: Poll: Rate Your Favourite PS1 Games

Ashina

FFIX, FFVII, Legend of Mana, Castlevania SOTN, MGS1, Legend of Legaia, Armored Core, Resident Evil 2, Einhander, Megaman X4 and X5, Bloody Roar, MVC1, Tekken 3, Rival Schools, Suikoden 2, Valkyrie Profile, Soul Reaver, Wild ARMs, Rampage Universal Tour, Crash Bandicoot 3, Ape Escape, Silent Hill, Metal Slug X

I could go on. The PS1 just have such an amazing library of games. Good times.

Re: Opinion: The Game Awards' Persona 3 Reload Disrespect Is Crazy

Ashina

P3 is my favorite in the Persona series and I really enjoyed P3R. Really is a shame that it was snubbed but I have to admit, I often forget that Reload was released this year. There's a lot of great game this year that they all deserve some win. Still, even if it wasn't nominated, that doesn't make the game awful or anything and I can't complain much, 2024 has been a great year for JRPG.
