Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Games for June 2022?

BReal

It’s just typical of Sony in regards to subscription services. Dragging their heels and giving the bare minimum, if that. Blind Freddy can see the future will be completely digital and then later still roll in to being completely a subscription service. So Sony finally launch a tiered subscription service with their partial library, but the ps plus tier (which almost no one was happy with) remains exactly the same quality in terms of what games are released on it and the number one thing people wanted which is new games isn’t available on any of the tiers. And they’re also now investing significant amounts of their resources into mobile and live service games. I’d say their being tone deaf but to me it looks more like they’re speeding towards their own extinction. The completely unsubtle cash grab with the live service and mobile isn’t being done because it’s a good business move by adding something extra that’s going to earn. It’s a move made out of desperation to get money any way possible so they can stay in the game. Even if that means hamstringing themselves in the process because that’s “tomorrows problem’ cos if they don’t do that now they’re dead anyway. They must be in dire straights regarding their own future projections

Re: Fortnite Collision Event Concludes Chapter 3 Season 2 with Epic Mech Battle

@JosephTheSheik
1. Being a free game doesn’t remove it from being able to be criticised nor does it gain it any “extra credit”. It’s judged on what it is
2. It does affect me as I have distaste and contempt for it
3. Those things aren’t groundbreaking, you are literally describing inconsequential fluff that’s akin with nonsense

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Sniper Elite 5?

BReal

It’s worse than a marvel movie in terms of Marvels cinematic value vs Snipers gaming chops. At least Marvel has mass appeal though. The enemy AI is so dumb that I’d expect the enemy soldiers would be the only ones who’d actually buy this. It’s a 6 and forgettable one at that

Re: Fake Bloodborne Remaster Tweet Sends Fans into a Frenzy

BReal

I don’t like any of the games by this dev but make a new one or do nothing. People need to stop living in the past when there’s stuff out there to find that will be equal to or greater than what you remember. The pursuit of that is what drives gaming forward and seeking countless remasters and remakes is what makes it go nowhere

Re: Sniper Elite 5 (PS5) - Deeply Replayable Sandbox Shooter Is a Real French Fancy

BReal

@Bismarck it’s the exact same game they all are too, literally. Some games they crucify for this (Farcry for example) other games like this they say it’s cool. Just like with their users on here they play favourites and don’t exclude personal preference and bias from their reviews which is a massive part of being a professional organisation

Re: Sony Patches Band-Aid into PS Plus' PS1 Games, As Emulation Is Taken to Task

BReal

I mean it’s a massive thing they’ve launched, even with just the number of games they’ve brought out as launch titles. No way that’s happening looking and performing dope af straight out of the gate. Expect optimisation to happen in rather quick order. Whole lotta chicken littles here that need to unbunch. Anyone that this is a major deal to or didn’t expect it to need some improvements should seek help and get a grip

Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Saw a Significant Sales Spike Thanks to PS5 Version

BReal

It’s just so fun to play now that’s why. I get some serious early fallout vibes from this game personally which I absolutely love as a fan of that series and this sort of game. The characters and their development are really quite great. I’ll be down for any expansions and any follow up games in the same world for sure cos I was a massive critic but they turned me into a true fan. Well done, even if it took you a while. Don’t do that again tho haha

Re: Hangar 13 Faces Layoffs as Development Shifts to More Mafia

BReal

Well at least there’s gunna be less Volt and more Mafia. Absolutely loved the Mafia series so far and can’t wait for another instalment. Super engaging and my god they know how to make interesting characters. Especially lead characters. They’re really quite exquisite

Re: Rumour: Cyberpunk 2077 Leak Confirms First Expansion's Setting, Characters, and More

BReal

@bozz I went from are you fricking kidding me? Off. To I’d actually pay extra for story based (missions) DLC. And I never pay for dlc. True, most of the games I like (action adventure games and rpg’s) a lot of the time don’t offer story based dlc but in the whole of ps4 being out I only bought one, the season pass for fallout 4 because I love me some solo offline fallout and extra missions, I’m in

Re: Rumour: Cyberpunk 2077 Leak Confirms First Expansion's Setting, Characters, and More

BReal

Playing it atm actually. It was absolutely horrible on launch even though it was stable on my ps5. Gave up after a few hours. Now tho…wow. Game is fricken awesome. Did a couple of early story missions but since then I’ve been focusing entirely on the side missions. Now I’m nearly 45 hours in and still have probably 8 hours or so of side missions left. They’re all so detailed with back stories and unique characters for every one of them. Absolutely loving it

Re: PlayStation Predicts PC Revenue to More Than Triple This Fiscal Year

BReal

@neitan for example, if there was 100,000 malfunctioning units (which I don’t believe there’s anywhere near that many) with the console sales and the sold separately controllers that’d be about 0.04% which are faulty. And there’s no way there’s that many. Tiny. Plus the internet always attracts more people who write negative than positive and tiny issues like this take on a life of their own and snowball, only in the short term though. When this story was reported it took on a life of its own and then it stopped as again the numbers of affected users was small

Re: PlayStation Predicts PC Revenue to More Than Triple This Fiscal Year

BReal

@neitan absolutely the problems exist as I said. And no doubt many of them have gone online and wrote about it. Out of the nearly 20 million consoles sold though and the accompanying controller plus all the other controllers sold separately (no doubt in the multiple millions) you’re talking about a very small percentage. If that wasn’t the case where it’s only a tiny percentage then it’d be everywhere constantly and it just isn’t. There’s no constant articles being written about it and no class action lawsuits

Re: PlayStation Predicts PC Revenue to More Than Triple This Fiscal Year

BReal

@neitan I had 2 DualShock’s, one on my launch and the other on my pro and had no issues with either. I’ve also have a dualsense since launch and had no issues with that either. Zero drift. Same goes with any of my mates controllers. You’re referring to a small percentage that malfunction like how any product has a small percentage that malfunction. Also the dualsense is the best controller I’ve used in my 37 or so years gaming. And it’s not naive it’s factual. As PlayStation has become more popular since it started the amount and quality of first party games has risen and risen in line with the amount of profit it’s been making. What are you smoking
