Re: Insomniac Has Last Laugh with Marvel's Spider-Man 2's Needlessly Detailed Puddles

Batesy125s

What a great looking puddle. I saw a puddle outside yesterday that didn't have that level of detail 🤣.

All jokes aside though I remember reading about puddlegate and just thinking "don't people have anything else to worry about in life?" It didn't look that bad at all and then when Insomniac explained why the puddle looked different, a few idiots actually argued with them and accused them of lying. I'm glad to see them have the last laugh. Game looks amazing and I can't wait to play it after work on Friday. My office is literally next to GAME so I can pop in and get it on my dinner break

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 498

Batesy125s

My first full weekend off in a month, so ill be playing Final fantasy 16. I dropped off for a while but I'm back now and close to the end. It's in my top 5 favourite FF games now. I'm close to the platinum so will hopefully have all trophies soon except for the second playthrough to complete on final fantasy difficulty

Re: 15 PS5, PS4 Games Coming to PS Plus Extra, Premium in October 2023 Update

Batesy125s

Premium is a bit 'meh' but extra seems pretty good to me. As the article says some great Halloween games in there, and I'll finally get to play Disco elysium, which has been on my 'to play' list for years. The refresh is a few days before Spiderman as well so will have a few days to play them before Peter Parker owns my gaming thumbs for a while

Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Extra, Premium for September 2023?

Batesy125s

I'm happy I'll be able to play star ocean till the end of time one of my favourite ps2 games, and everyone should play 13 sentinels Aegis rim as it tells a fantastic story, one of the best in gaming. Although many people will probably disagree without playing it as its anime styled and people think (incorrectly) that anime can not tell good stories

Re: Hands On: The Expanse: A Telltale Series PS5, PS4 Gets Off to a Strong Start

I started reading Leviathan wakes a few years ago, before the TV show started, and was loving it but fell off because a lot of family related things came up. Maybe now is the time to return to that and actually stick with it. I've heard great things about the TV show, with people saying it's almost game of thrones level of quality when it comes to writing and acting

Re: Poll: Who's the Best Final Fantasy Protagonist?

Batesy125s

@ChronoBreak777 I think Vivi may be the perfect final fantasy character and his story is one of the best in the franchise. That being said I voted for Titus. Bad laugh aside (which was obviously intentionally bad, btw) he's the one with the most personality, although he is a bit whiny. I don't full understand the love for Cloud. Most iconic maybe, best weapon, arguably. Although the gunblade from FF8 is better IMO. But he had zero personality until the remake

Re: Microsoft's $69 Billion Activision Deal Approved by the EU Commission

Batesy125s

@Snake_V5 I was thinking that at first but tbh I don't think sony can afford to wait much longer. People are clamouring for new playstation game reveals and after spiderman (probably in September) there's nothing confirmed from any playstation studio. And even their biggest marketing deals street fighter 6 and final fantasy 16 will be out soon

Re: Forspoken Ended Up Being 'Nothing Like' Gary Whitta's Original Pitch

Batesy125s

@roe I've only seen Rogue one, and Book of Eli that he wrote, but like them or not, they're well written films. Personally I think Rogue one is one of the best pieces of Star wars content.

Seems a shame that they got such great writers on there and decided not to use them. I mean looking at another Square franchise, the world building in the Final fantasy games is fantastic but the actual dialogue is usually pretty bad, or at the very least goofy. And I say this as a massive fan of the franchise

Re: PS Plus Extra, Premium Get 17 More Games Next Week

Batesy125s

That's a fantastic lineup. For once I'm actually most excited to see the ps plus premium games. Legend of dragoon alone is worth the price of admission, but wild arms 2 is a good add, and I used to love playing Harvest moon at my mate's. He found it boring but I loved it

Re: Final Fantasy 16 Is Already Hyping Up a Huge Year

Batesy125s

Like you guys, I'd like to see more gameplay in regards to exploration, as part of the fun for me for any FF game (and most RPGs to be honest) is finding all the new towns and secret areas. But even without that, FF16 is probably my most anticipated game of 2023, with the possible exception of Spiderman 2

Re: This Use of PSVR2's Eye Tracking Is Truly Terrifying

Batesy125s

@Impossibilium my first thought too, as soon as i say the under headline "dont blink". A doctor who weeping angels game would be amazing, and I'd definitely play it. Doctor who in general shoukd be ripe for gaming adaptations, but so far no one has done a particularly good job

Re: Feature: What We Want From Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, and How It Needs to Improve on Remake

Batesy125s

Overall I like the fact that they just stuck to the broad outlines of the original story, and I loved the changes and the possible 'multiverse' story. I still have the original and if it was just a straight scene for scene remake I don't think I'd have loved the game as much as I did.

That said the side-quests were not great and got repetitive quickly and although I think the linear nature worked well as it was all set in Midgar, the world of the original opened right up afterwards, so I'm hoping Rebirth does the same

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

Batesy125s

@BritneyfR_ee completely agree. I rarely play fortnite in my own but my son is a big fan and I quite often play it with him and we both thought it was amazing and great fun. My son got so excited when he saw Darth Vader, and he barely knows Star wars. Dont know why people have to be so down on it. Don't like it, don't play it. I never really enjoyed Game of thrones but I'd never criticise the other millions of people who loved it. People have different opinions and that's great!
