Re: Mortal Kombat 1 Fans Are Finished with the PS5 Game's $10 Halloween Fatality

Bingo-Bongo

Not really the same but we have mk1 and cities skylines 2. Two pretty bad launches and for very different reasons. While one is charging stupid money for 30 seconds of graphics and goading it's fans with disrespectful tweets, the other has openly stated that its not in the state they wanted and now have announced 8 free packs with a load of free content and committed to get things right. So WB it's not that you can't do the right thing and give back to a loyal audience. It's more you WONT. Both games launched incomplete but it seems that one studio gives more of a toss about the players than the other. As a player of MK from the very first game its sad to see the state the series is in right now in terms of its leadership as it seems they have just checked out mentally and just chasing a paycheck at this stage rather than putting out a quality product they are actually proud of. Rambling rant over.

Re: Mortal Kombat 1 (PS5) - Good But Not a Flawless Victory

Bingo-Bongo

Think this is a fair score! Having played and finished the storymode I have walked away with a distinct feeling of "meh" after being excited from the trailers - NO SPOILERS - I am very disappointed with the way some characters stories have been told, but also like some of the team ups that seem so random. But glad that 3d era characters haven't been abandoned.

I can definitely see an aftermath type dlc being planned as its an easy cash cow but I also struggle to remember the ending because it was so "meh" and I finished it yesterday!

Invasion mode is pretty dull, and as I said previously from my beta experience it's feels a little sluggish to play. Wish this was more mk9 than mk11

Over all I'm not writing this off right away. Some of my complaints are probably down to me being a bit crap at the game!

Re: What Time Is PlayStation's State of Play?

Bingo-Bongo

Hoping for FF7R2 - hopeful as I had some notification on Facebook today about it being the 16th anniversary of something FF related. Deleted the notification before reading it so can't say anymore.

I think Star Ocean 2 second R is possible as they just announced literally every other title coming to ps plus premium.

Also really hoping the Resi 4 separate ways dlc is shown, though that's probably being saved for TGS. Same goes for Granblue relink.

Re: Megan Fox Lends Her Likeness to Nitara in Mortal Kombat 1 on PS5

Bingo-Bongo

Initial impressions are that in very happy with Nitara being on the roster, like the new look - not an overly stereotypical camp vamp (know come the storymode i will eat these words). But then we factor in Megan..... umm guess subtitles and the mute button exist for a reason. Particularly love the oxymoron of her saying "I love mortal kombat" yet delivering lines with all the enthusiasm of passing a gall stone!

Re: Sony Has a State of Play Livestream for September, Rumours Suggest

Bingo-Bongo

Hopefully this will "showcase" some new and exciting additions to the plus service to remove the sour taste in so many ps owners mouths and go some way to justify the harsh price hike. Sadly reality will be more along the lines of sony saying the increase is necessary in order to " continue the high quality service" blah blah blah.

Re: Mortal Kombat 1: Beta Access Explained and How to Play

Bingo-Bongo

@mcdreamer I ordered a physical copy and got sent a code at the start of last week so can't comment about how the ps store works with beta codes.

Also want to update my opinion on the game. I'm definitely warming up to it more the more I play it. I kinda think some characters are slightly faster than others. I did consider cancelling my preorder initially but I've changed my mind and going to see how the final game plays.

Re: Mortal Kombat 1: Beta Access Explained and How to Play

Bingo-Bongo

Ive played a bit of this and thought I would be so excited but so far its just meh. Only tried Li Mei and Kitana so far and it just feels a bit slow and clunky. Graphically it's awsome and I'm sure the narrative will be great too but I just wish they would speed things up a little.

Re: Reptile, Ashrah, and Havik All Set for Mortal Kombat 1

Bingo-Bongo

Dissapointed about Sareena being relegated to kameo as she has been screaming for the chance to shine for a while as far as I'm concerned. Also her redesign looks awsome. That being said really happy Reptile is back and potentially won't be a jobber plot wise. Ashrah and Havik both look cool, even if I'm not sure I will rush to play as them (mainly talking about Ashrah here). I just want Sindel to be there as she was my main in mk11

Re: Baraka, Li Mei, and Tanya Konfirmed in New Mortal Kombat 1 PS5 Trailer

Bingo-Bongo

Loving everything about this this! Li Mei looks really fun and as some have commented online elsewhere I see xmen jubilee vibes. I also can't help but see very slight elements of Cetrion in Tanya's moveset especially with the golden halo that appears. Calling it now if Tanya is Mileenas confidant than Jade will appear and be an antagonist for sure. Netherrelm keep saying things are not going to be the same, hope this doesn't happen. Also please bring Sindel back she was my main in mk11 regardless of her lore being butchered.

Re: Feature: Our PlayStation Showcase Predictions

Bingo-Bongo

Im loving the optimism here honestly and happy to be proven totally wrong. But having been severely burned by hype before i have a looming sense of deja vu being on the horizon. I think it's going to be 2 new titles and the rest being remaster, remakes, re-imagining etc. To a point I'm in support of some of this. Would kill for a remaster of tails of xillia for example. But wouldn't be surprised if they pull a last of us pt 2 given a ps5 "upgrade" of sorts move, which just using necessary at this point.

Re: Trails from Zero, Trails to Azure Exceed Falcom's Sales Expectations in the West

Bingo-Bongo

Great news!!!! Played zero and completed it and instantly moved on to azure. I understand why many consider the crossbell arc to be the best in the series as it all just works. Characters are awesome and the building of lore is perfect. I started my legend of heroes journey with cold steel 1 and have loved every game since and many missing pieces of the wider story now makes sense. Can't wait for reverie later in the year. My biggest hope is that we get a trails in the sky remaster on current consoles. Know there are issues around this but make it happen falcom!
