Re: After PS5, PS4, and PS Portal, Even PS3 Gets a Console Update

Broosh

Recently I've been playing through the first two Gundam Breaker PS3 games with a friend, along with EX Troopers. The Slim is still kicking!
@Mikeg1965 I miss my PS2-capable fat models 😭 Both got YLOD while playing PS2 discs. I even had the thermal paste replaced and the disc drive updated to be more heat efficient on the second one...

Re: Resident Evil 2 Director Says Requiem Needs a 'Non-Scary' Mode for Fraidy Cats Like Him

Broosh

I'm so thankful they didn't rely on the RE2 version of "scary" by turning off most of the care center's lights and relying on a wavy flashlight beam. You can have a mostly well-lit building and still build tension! That in itself seems like an indirect nod to the PS1 originals to me, and I love it. Note, there are still dark segments of the game and it's used effectively!

Re: Sony Makes Shocking Decision to Shut Down Bluepoint Games

Broosh

WHAT?! Look I get that the shift in art style/music in Demon's was a step back, and even Colossus's art style missed the mark a little, but they are still rock solid remakes, let alone their work before these. Baffling and tragic. I was excited to see what they'd make/remake next 🥺

Re: Talking Point: Did ANTHEM Deserve the Hate?

Broosh

I picked it up for pocket change on a digital deep sale, then was surprised to learn it was completely server-based. So after my online sub lapsed, I uninstalled and didn't look back. It played okay, but outside of feeling kinda like Destiny if you were Iron Man, it didn't stick out to me much. Deserved better, I was hoping they would overhaul it before they announced they'd shelve it instead.

Re: 'The Fans' Voices Gave Us Power': Monster Hunter Wilds Dev Admits to Difficulties After Awards Show Win

I do think the criticisms are earned to an extent (especially regarding the way story mode, the "open" map, optimization, and UI were handled), but people are also quick to forget Rise and World lacked difficulty before their expansions as well. That's the nature of LR/HR. I do think they can turn a lot of these issues around by the time the Master Rank expansion releases, but it will be tough for them to change the majority of the community's opinions now that the hate train has left the station.

Re: Third Styx Game Set for PS5 Release in February 2026

Broosh

I picked up the first two on a Steam deep-sale this year, only to find out they are both right up my alley as a fan of 3D stealth games! Tenchu-like movement with Thief-like objectives, all set in a world that almost feels apart of Fable. I'm looking forward to the third game!

Re: Poll: Does the Steam Machine Pose a Threat to PS5?

Broosh

Never was going to. Still awesome that the new Steam Machine exists though, and the more casual players can adopt a PC library at a (potentially) affordable rate (with free online play, among the many other benefits), the merrier! But for those that want to strictly play console, they'll stick with console, and that's fine 😎
