Re: Forspoken Continues to Divide Opinion Following PS5 Demo

Beeeee-AHH-eer

Sometimes demos just don't do a game justice and i have found myself falling in love with a lot of games even though I hated their demos. I'm willing to give this one a go but the demo didn't impress me. It felt like a complicated game with a lot to learn and memorise. Even when I get the hang of it, it's one of those games i will forget the controls quickly when I stop playing for a while. The character talking so much is a bit of a deal breaker too.

Re: Rumour: Sci-Fi RPG from Sony Supposedly Leaked

Beeeee-AHH-eer

I'd be very excited for it. Would love to see a Sci-fi game from Sony. Haven't got to play much of Returnal as roguelike games are not my cup of tea but I loved the look an idea of it from what I played at the start. It felt like the closest they had to having something that looks like their own little Mass Effect. So maybe there is hope this game could be more my thing.

Re: More Tales Remasters Could Happen, Says Bandai Namco

Beeeee-AHH-eer

Xillia! That was my first that got me into the series. Didn't get round to playing Xillia 2 though so I'd like that added into a collection.

Also want Graces F, Hearts R and Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World. Pity they didn't include the sequel into Symphonia Remaster

Re: God of War TV Series Will Stay 'True to the Source Material'

Beeeee-AHH-eer

I see others talking about wanting to start with the Greeks but I think it might actually be better starting with the Norse. Most of us here have already played the older games so for us it makes sense to start from there. But here's why I'd say Norse is the better start.

It's more friendly towards people that never played or heard of GoW before. It's a father and son game, or in this case show. He's not that angry man out for blood. Norse is a great starting point and it will leave new audience (which the show is mainly aiming for) curious about his past. Wondering what are all those things he did. We could see his Greek times through flashbacks or even a prequel. First reel in new fans with his niceness then show the angry younger kratos of his past.

If they started with Greek then maybe some people will just look at it as a silly show of an angry man just out killing Gods and then pass on it.

I'm looking forward to seeing a trailer for it but I can't help but feel Amazon and Netflix would all be the wrong choices to touch gaming IPs.

Paramount could do the job if they were to make it something like the Sonic movies. Those are amazing! Amazon make shows that just don't work very well for me. Like there's something a bit off with them and Netflix make good shows but then cancels future seasons too early. They also don't do many home media releases.

Now HBO.. that's my perference. TLOU looks amazing and they did a great job with Game of Thrones so I'd trust them the most. They could make a pretty good GoW with the Greeks

Re: Persona 3, 4 PS4 Ports Priced $20 Each, Add Difficulty Settings and Quick Save

Beeeee-AHH-eer

I think this will be the first time I'm not jumping into their games day one anymore no matter the price. Bet they will charge us £19.99 for it to match that $19.99.

There was the talk about Persona 3 having a remake and if 3 gets one, what's to stop P4G from also getting one. After launching P5 and then soon after P5R and then a PS5 version with no save transfer or free upgrade, I just don't want to buy their games at launch anymore.

  • I need physical anyway so will wait and see if that happens too.

Re: Horizon Online Multiplayer to Feature New Characters and Unique Stylised Look

Beeeee-AHH-eer

Very interested to see what this will be like! Just wonder about the "stylised" visuals too. I hope it doesn't end up looking like Fortnite but instead give it a nice style that it can look similar to the main games but slightly different.

It's good to see they are staffing up to make this, but I'd like to see them having a team that would work on Killzone. Maybe they need to grow the studio more to make room for that game too.

Re: Rumour: The Last of Us 3 Is In Development at Naughty Dog

Beeeee-AHH-eer

Not excited for it at all. Don't want to make a decision just yet until we at least see it but after the way Part 2 went, I don't think I'll be rushing to pre-order or even buy day 1.

Part 1 is just my favourite and Part 2 was good but nothing amazing. Can't see Part 3 being any better and it's most certainly not going to be worth £70 unless it can top Part 1, which imo it won't without Joel

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 456

Beeeee-AHH-eer

Trying to wrap up Pokemon Violet with the last few for the Pokedex and then I'm free to fully play something on PS5 again. Tried out the Forspoken demo and I'm in mixed minds about it. I could get used to it but it doesn't feel exciting like Final Fantasy or any other big Square Enix game. The controls could take some getting used to and I don't like the R2 and L2 buttons after using R1 and L1 for bringing up the menus. Just feels uncomfortable

Re: US Government's FTC Will Attempt to Block Microsoft's Activision Buyout

Beeeee-AHH-eer

Buying Activision isn't the answer for them. It may be good for their business to keep them going but it's surprising that fans are supporting it. Getting Activision or any publisher is like saying they can't make their own success so they give up trying. Why bother making games themselves when they can just buy another successful company to survive.

The best thing for Xbox is to focus on making great games of their own. Not to keep making more CoD and relying on that to keep the business running.

MS has been failing with their excluisve for years now. It's their own fault. They can fix that by stepping up and go make some great games of their own to pull in some new fans, grow their studios, buy some smaller ones and work on parterships to get games made.

Nintendo likes to buy studios that work on games that are very Nintendo. Sony buys studios that are pretty much family. MS should take notes from them. Buying up Activision and use their sucess to pass off as their own is just lazy and shows they don't know much about gaming. The only thing they are being good for is writing cheques

Re: Microsoft Admits Its Games Are Worse Than Sony's

Beeeee-AHH-eer

I think they should focus on their own studios first before they start thinking about adding Activision. If they can't manage their own studios well enough, how are they going to manage Activision or how will Activision help them get any better?

Most of Activision games are good, fun or average. Call of Duty may be the most popular shooter but MS have made successful shooters of their own and they are looking to add another to their library? You'd think they would work on their own studios first and make games for fans that you know.. don't care for shooters but want great single player games. None of Activision's studios will make MS any better. If they want to be better they should stop being lazy and focus on their own studios first. Sony and Nintendo work hard for their success. MS is throwing money at others success and then milk them.

Re: God of War, Sony Exclusives Dominate The Game Awards Nominees

Beeeee-AHH-eer

God of War for me. Then Horizon Forbidden West in second place and A Plague Tale in third.

For the movies, as much as I enjoyed Uncharted, I need to go for Sonic for exceeding my expectations

I'm a bit confused with the narrative section. Never played Elden Ring but last I heard it's a full open world freedom but didn't hear it having much of a story so why is it even there. Odd choice when there are other story games that could be more worthy. For that category God of War and A Plague Tale is the two main competitors

Re: Final Fantasy 16 Is Exclusive to PS5 for Six Months, Sony Confirms

Beeeee-AHH-eer

I really dislike timed exclusive stuff. It always hurts someone on another platform. Only reason why I see Sony doing this is because they want PlayStation to be the place we play Final Fantasy and perhaps it worries them if the game was to go onto Game Pass day 1 then PlayStation wouldn't be seen as that place. They also get the advantage of being seen as the only place to play.
