Re: Poll: Is 'Live Service' Becoming an Excuse to Release Unfinished Games?

Beeeee-AHH-eer

Sometimes but it also depends on the developer and the state of the game but I think subscriptions are a bigger problem for it and will get worse. Take MS for example, they need to keep a steady flow of exciting games rolling in otherwise why is anyone subbed for the year if they don’t feel they are getting the money worth and can just take it out a month at a time. So it’s release broken or skip on features and fix it later.

Re: Final Fantasy 14's Free PS5, PS4 Trial Expands to Include Stormblood

Beeeee-AHH-eer

I wouldn't be able to play the trial on PS because I tried the beta during the PS3 days and that permanently locked me out from all future trials.

There may be a way to get the trial again on the same account as long as you haven't bought the game. You have one chance of having your square enix ID removed from your PSN and create a new one. That should allow you to have the trial again but I can't be 100% sure. I'm unable to test it due to having purchased the starter edition a long time ago and don't remember doing so.

Sony refuses to remove a purchased game and because the starter edition is already tied to my PSN, a new trial isn't possible. So my solution was to play it on the Mac and then someday if i decide to pay, I will try transfering the process over to PSN with the new Square Enix ID. I suppose Xbox would be another way around it if you don't want to play on PC.

Re: Insomniac Games May Have a Third AAA PS5 Exclusive in Development

Beeeee-AHH-eer

Whatever it is, I'm looking forward to seeing it. Just hope it's not Sunset Overdrive as I didn't like that game. With all the projects Insomniac are taking up, I really hope they don't leave Ratchet And Clank behind. Just something I worry about from time to time since a lot of Sonys great IPs get abandoned for newer things.

Re: If Sony Does Ever Make a PS Vita 2, It'll Probably Need Replaceable Batteries

Beeeee-AHH-eer

I like chargeable batteries in our controllers. I don't like that MS puts in normal batteries in the box so I favour Sonys way of providing charagable batteries as MS way seems like they cheapened out to get people to buy the chargeable battery separately. But they had the right idea allowing people to remove it and swap it with a fresh one.

Maybe one day the Vita and controllers battery will swell up and we would need to either get rid of the controller or open it up to remove them. I'd rather just swap my battery out with a fresh new one with better life. But Sony should provide the chargeable battery in the box.

Re: The Last of Us Composer Gustavo Santaolalla May Have Teased a New Version of Part 2

Beeeee-AHH-eer

Part 1 was hard to resist getting (wasn't day 1 for me but when it reached my biting point) because I loved that first game more.

But Part 2, that's an easy pass. Can play the PS+ version someday. Not even worth a £10 upgrade imo. Now if they plan to change the story, especially for Joel then I'll take more of an interest.

I've had enough of these remasters / upgraded versions. They are okay for games from the PS3 and older days but certainly not okay from the PS4. Next thing we know we could be getting a another remaster for those same games for PS6 at this rate

Re: Sony Is Increasing R&D Costs to Fuel Live Service Games, Report Claims

Beeeee-AHH-eer

I hope Killzone and or Resistance is one of those. Those are the kind of games that could be played for a long time and still have a great single player experience

May not be a popular choice but I think Ratchet and Clank could do something with Rift Apart after the story has been completed. Open portals to enter other Sony games world or bring them in for fun event stories and missions.

Re: Reaction: What Happens to PlayStation if Microsoft Buys Activision Blizzard?

Beeeee-AHH-eer

I think Sony needs to step up their game and make big acquisitions of their own but at the same time take the opportunity to strengthen themselves and stop relying so much on third party as solutions. They should get back to making their own big shooters again to complete.

Unlike Xbox, Sony can create great new games so this should give them a much needed push to expand their library with new games while Xbox continues to milk others success.

Re: SEGA Survey Suggests Persona 3 Reload to Retail for $69.99

Beeeee-AHH-eer

I’ll be buying for PS5 but I won’t be paying that price and it tempts me to wait for the full version in the future or get it on sale. No interest in taking GamePass out for it or even playing this on Xbox. I get that the service is good value for Xbox but to me that’s only for people that play the platform enough which I don’t do so I feel like it’s just another subscription eating at my wallet and not getting its worth. Last time I had it for 3 years cheap and it was mainly just used for Bing points

Re: Microsoft's Potential Game Plan in 2020: 'Spend Sony Out of Business'

Beeeee-AHH-eer

People like to say Sony have too much power in gaming but MS has too much power in everything and using that power to bully their way to the top.

It’s sad to see Xbox going from playing fair to cheating their way to the top with money. What Song does is what MS and Nintendo have always done themselves too and continue to do. The only difference is MS tripped themselves during Xbox One launch and now act like they are entitled to buying their way to the front again. They don’t market their product and don’t even try to do better. Just milk their already success franchises that was invented by others before being bought.

I think the world needs to wake up and remove those heart shaped glasses to see MS for what they are. We rely too much on them like countries relying on Russian oil. Threatened UK security over the blockage of this deal. Even if they get their way, they only gain even more power and who’s going to stop them if they don’t act now.

Re: Sony 'Can't Risk' Sharing PS6 Details with a Microsoft-Owned Activision

Beeeee-AHH-eer

And they are right not to share anything. Doing so would only give MS ideas to counter it and make something better than they planned themselves before they reveal their next console. That could hurt Sony more.

For Bungie, I'd say MS wouldn't have much to worry about. Bungie doesn't exactly pump games out every year while Activision does.

Xbox Series X is basically just a more powerful Xbox One. Everything is the same apart from new features and the controller just has some improvement on an Xbox One controller. No different to phone upgrades and newer phones get features older ones can't get on the same version OS. Sony however would be giving away all the things they do new. Had it been the PS5, MS would be taking notes of the Dualsense features and announcing their own before they reveal their console.

Whatever Xbox makes next, I'm betting they will just keep making another Xbox One-alike console that continues on with more muscle to it. Bungie's games and MLB just need a little update for the newer consoles that will run the same game after the new consoles launch. It's not like MS bothers trying to create a new experience. Unlike the Series, PS5 games are seperate to the PS4 ones so we get two copies with two trophy lists.

Re: Rumour: Naughty Dog's Troubled The Last of Us Multiplayer PS5 Project Was Sniped by Bungie

Beeeee-AHH-eer

I think Bungie should should only be a guidance to help make a game a success. If something doesn’t tick their box then work on it until it does. Even Bungie aren’t perfect. Their own game isn’t very friendly for new players or returning ones so they need some help too. They have a habit of disappointing fans too and not learning a thing from it so instead they repeat the same mistakes

Re: PlayStation Showcase Completely Divided Fan Opinion

Beeeee-AHH-eer

I thought the show was okay. Not amazing but not entirely bad as people are making it out to be. I did think it was strange to see them doing a Showcase before Xbox. I think if the whole Activision thing wasn’t going on, we would have seen Spider-Man a year ago. Maybe two years ago. So it made sense for Sony to focus more on third party while Activision thing is going on and get to show Spider-Man now before it launches.

Perhaps we will get a first party one closer to the end of the year which can show the big titles we’re all waiting for. The best time for Sony to show their best stuff is after Xbox have shown theirs so their own games is what’s on everyone’s minds instead.

Re: CMA Expected to Rule in Favour of Microsoft's $69 Billion Acquisition of Activision Blizzard Tomorrow

Beeeee-AHH-eer

The sooner this is over the sooner we can get some Showcases again!

I feel bad for people that only play on Xbox. You'd think that they would like to see MS pushing Xbox and making some great Xbox games but instead many people are just cheering to have the same games we have already been getting and games that we had in the past handed to them on GP. The 360 and even early Xbox One days came out with big hits that made Xbox look good despite that rocky start XBO had. Sony may not like the news, but it will do them some good to break free from that CoD chain. They have every reason now to work harder and bring more great games to the table. MS wil survive on already successful games but they will continue to lack the talent to create anything to blow us away so they will just milk the same old, same old. It's pretty wild how much better the 360 days was to how the platform is now today that is relying on Bethesda to give it a big hit this year after so many years of disappointment.
