Re: 16 More Games Coming to PS Plus Extra, Premium in April

Blaze215

@__Seraph clearly youre referring to me. My life is going just fine thank you and I'm quite happy. All I'm doing is demanding more from a subscription service that raised it's prices and offered no upgrade to the quality of their games. If we accept whatever we are given and just be happy we won't see an improvement, like we haven't had most months since this service began. I mean come on, medieval is already available to play multiple ways and I'm supposed to be happy it's added to the already bare bones premium tier?

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 522

Rebirth and battlefront classic collection for me. Still very curious to see rebirths sales figures as its an amazing game with a lot of work put into it I hope it does well as the developers deserve it. All I can find is an old article about it's sales dropping in the first week in Japan

Re: Upgraded PS5 Pro Planning to Be the Best Place to Play GTA 6

Sony will pay for this half assed generation with their ps5 pro and ps6 sales. I for one won't be fooled by Cerny bigging up the next 'generational leap'.

The ps5 may as well have been called the ps4 pro 2 or something because that's all it is. No wonder there are so many cross generation games, it's because we havent really crossed generations, we've been scammed.

Re: Naoki Yoshida Thinks New Blood Is Needed to Direct Final Fantasy 17

Having no elemental weaknesses, status effects really turned me off FF16 as a 25 year ff fan. Will never replay it or play the expansions. I don't understand how people praise the combat in 16 it was just spam your abilities once you get a monster staggered rinse repeat, that never changes the whole game through so gets boring and stale after the first 10 hours. Hitting a bomb monster with fire magic and it doing damage was just not final fantasy

Re: 19 All New PS Plus Extra, Premium Games Are Available to Play on PS5, PS4 Now

To those asking why the ps2 emulator isn't done, it's not not ready because sony couldn't be bothered why would they when they can just throw us the inferior PSP ports. Come on guys it's not that complicated if they really wanted they could have an emulator running within days. Sony's formula is the same as any corporation: least amount of effort to get most amount of money.

Re: Final Fantasy 16's First Expansion Should Be Revealed This Month

Blaze215

I'm a huge ff fan and hated this entry unfortunately. First of all it's not a final fantasy game in any way, I know people will say it's evolving or whatever but fans of early entries were fans because they liked those kinds of games and it feels like square just dumped us in order to have broader appeal. Also if this wasn't a ff game and just a normal action game I honestly don't understand how people enjoy it. The combat is sooo basic it was tedious and I avoided whenever possible, same said about the side quests except I forced myself to do all of them. The set pieces were awesome but everything else was just so so boring and a chore. If they want it to be an action game make it 15-20 hours don't make it the length of an rpg because it doesn't have the depth to be engaging for that long. A shorter game just focused on the set pieces would have been much better

Re: Reaction: PS5's Success Is Not Luck, Because Sony's Spent Years Putting in the Hard Yards

Blaze215

Totally agree, they learned from ps3's launch they saw the 360 pass them out in sales and towards the end of ps3 and the whole of ps4 they have dominated. That brings us to the ps5 which is still living off past generations success imo. That good will won't last forever so an empty first party release schedule, live service push and the poor quality of games being added to an increased price subscription service will start catching up to them before the generation is over. Hopefully they can turn it around our else I feel this is Sony's peak

Re: UK Sales Charts: Hogwarts Legacy Apparates Back to the Top Spot

Blaze215

@bozz I'm honestly not trying to shift the qualifications, I thought Hogwarts was a decent game, maybe 7 or 8 out of 10, I enjoyed it. But alan wake 2 I thought was boring rubbish, very little in the way of actual gameplay got about 6 hours in and was too bored to carry on. Would definitely say it's way thinner on the gameplay front than Hogwarts. So just because I think that I guess that shouldn't be nominated either? 🙂

Re: UK Sales Charts: Hogwarts Legacy Apparates Back to the Top Spot

Blaze215

@bozz whatever your opinion of it you can't ignore the sales and a lot of other people out there absolutely love the game and it would be their game of the year so your assessment of it is completely subjective. If you don't think the most popular game of 2023 shouldn't at least get a nomination I don't know what to say
