Re: Xbox Set to Announce Multi-Platform Plans Next Week

@get2sammyb they own the ip but they don’t own the game as I believe Microsoft invested in Insomniac making the game for them. Same situation with Dead Rising 3 when the xBone was announced. Microsoft paid Capcom to make the game for launch in which it only released on X and PC

“ We're listening and we hear you”

That’s a weird thing to say, I imagine a lot of the messages he and others were getting are from worried Xbox users who are rightly getting very worried. So you’re listening to these people and you’re going to reassure them in a week with news that could be pretty detrimental to customers loyalty to a system

This could turn out very nasty for Phil’s image

Re: Rumour: Even Gears of War Is Reportedly in Talks to Come to PlayStation

@HotGoomba Apple have ZERO interest in the console gaming business. Their focus is elsewhere such as automobiles, movies, health wearable advancements, building their own in house silicon and so forth. I very much doubt they want to invest in bringing out a console when their biggest rivals in Silicon Valley is potentially winding down their hardware side.

I always said it’s a win/win for them to release on other platforms whilst offering a cheaper offer via their GP. They’re going to make a lot of money back quicker so it’s not like this is the end of MS as a gaming entity. Sadly, it’s going to upset a lot of fans who have heavily invested into their ecosystem.

When they got the Activision buy going I always wondered how they could afford to have a game like Doom become platform exclusive when it’s been a ip that has always been available to any system that wants it.

Re: Rumour: Xbox's Indiana Jones Game Also Being 'Considered' for PS5

BusyOlf

Considering the most recent Indy film bombed and the one previous to that being just ridiculously stupid I would imagine they’re probably panicking about how many people are going to be interested in playing it. The fact it’s Machine Games doing another nazi shooting game has put me right off the idea.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 514

I’m trying to 100% WoLong having got the dlc in the sale. Suddenly it’s decided to be challenging whereas the base game was ridiculously easy. It’s a poor mans Sekiro considering how easy it is to parry. The end of game content is non existent compared to Nioh 2.

The Finals, I’m still playing but I’ve maxed out the season pass and player level so I am starting to think about uninstalling for a month. I really hope there’s more than one map with S2 because I really don’t like this spoon feeding from studios with their online game services. I miss the days of say a BF4 where you would get four maps bundled together.

Started playing Overwatch 2, it’s not bad. I was going to uninstall but I quite enjoy the no recoil shooting and kill streaks.

Next week, Helldivers 2 take over !

Re: Round Up: What Was Announced During Sony's State of Play Livestream for January 2024?

BusyOlf

Yet another showcase in which two and only two PSVR2 games are shown.

I’m starting to feel I wasted five hundred quid with the naive belief that I would finally get to play Half Life Alyx. Surely they know it’s what the majority of VR2 owners want to play on the system?!?! At least back in the Vita years they had people who would work to get requested games on the system . Who the hell can we ask these days who will even listen?

Re: Diablo 4 Season of the Construct Will Bring New Quests, Vaults to PS5, PS4

BusyOlf

@Nekomichu yeah, I did one dungeon early on in my Sorceress attempt and I had to run through the entirety of the dungeon being chased by the Butcher. Eventually he stops chasing, I bailed, lesson learned. Agree it’s easy, I just got cheaply killed from being distracted by others in the house. I’m going to wait for the new season to start for the events before I try again.

Re: Diablo 4 Season of the Construct Will Bring New Quests, Vaults to PS5, PS4

@commentlife I’m at lvl 100 and I don’t feel powerful compared to others. I’ve been trying to get hold of a specific aspect for my Barbarian and it will not drop so I’ve hardly touched aspects for the build. Think I need to reset all my skills and try another build setup in the hope that I can at least go into the Uber Lillith battle with others and do some sort of damage on her. Then there’s the hardcore mode, got myself up to lvl 32 and got killed cheaply. I’m looking forward to moving on from this game

Just completed and platinumed Alan Wake 2, what an absolute joy it is playing in this world they have created. Ahti is just the best. Bring on the news about what code name Firebreak entails because I’m up for a PVE game set in the FBC building

Got two tasks to do in Arkham Asylums predator games and I’ve got two platinums done and two games uninstalled from my very full PS5 hardrive.

The Finals, I reinstalled this game once they did an update and I started to enjoy it again for a few weeks. I’m starting to get a bit fed up of how frustrating it is dealing with the light build players. Some seem to be more bullet sponges than others and of course when I’m playing light you’re dead in seconds. Then they have all kinds of skills available to them compared to the other builds and it just feels like they need to be nerfed. It’s frustrating

Got like three weeks to find something to play before Helldivers 2 releases

Re: Game of the Year: #8 - Dead Space

BusyOlf

It’s a wonderful remake, on par with RE2 and that tram system really makes the game better. I’ll be all in on a Dead Space 2 remake but I would imagine it won’t happen for a while

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 507

Diablo 4. My build has become all powerful, I’m currently level 85, and I’ve been blasting through nightmare dungeons and getting even more stronger.

Uninstalled The Finals last night. The drop off from the initial few days of having fun was pretty severe for me. As it is at the moment, is nothing more than an infuriating bullet sponge and poorly balanced game. You can get the first shots on others with a more powerful gun and still end up second best. The respawn timer is another gripe. you can be timed out for 15 seconds or so and if the other squad members die in that time you get another 20+ seconds added to your wait. I could go on but it’s uninstalled

Tempted to buy the Return to Arkham collection this weekend or buy Alan Wake 2

Re: The Last of Us Multiplayer Project Is Officially Cancelled

BusyOlf

The idea had amazing potential considering how great the online mode was but if they were struggling to make it work then it’s good that they cancelled. Get off Bungies back, some of you! There’s a high standard of quality with first studio content and if Bungie said it’s not a great idea then you respect their honesty in a world where people seemingly don’t want to accept the answers they need to hear
