Re: Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 'Will Be Loved by Everyone', Says Director

Crimson_Ridley

@betasector Looks at your comment history, all negative all of the time OK, that tells me everything I need to know.

I've really enjoyed what they've done with the remake, though Rebirth's emphasis on mini-games did go overboard a bit. I'm hoping they've taken that feedback on board and can find other ways to add substance to the game.

I'm really excited to see what they do with the story next as Disc 2 was where the story really kicked in to gear.

Re: It's Not Fixed Yet, But Borderlands 4 Still Wants You Hyped for Its First DLC Character

@Ricky-Spanish I mean, that's hardly surprising. Almost every game released has a roadmap of paid content advertised within 5 minutes of the game's release.

I finished Mafia Old Country over the weekend, a 10 hour or so campaign with no real replayability and it had 2 add ons for guns and outfits at £9 each. It's bloody stupid.

More surprisingly, people still use numbers in place of letters these days? I'm shocked they didn't go full douche and replace the S with the $ symbol.

Nothing for me this week, however I'll be Alone In The Dark sitting in my car waiting for Smyths to open at midnight where I'll theN B A guy waiting in the queue to pick up The Final Shape of a brand new console! It'll then be a Bomb Rush Cyberfunk back to my car to take it home...

Umm... That last one didn't work.

Re: Random: The Ultimate Git Gud FromSoftware Challenge, Completed

@Sarcasmatwork From what I've watched of these challenges in the past, they can choose which order they play the games (usually starting with the hardest games) and if they take a hit, they start from the first game again.

Most players end with Dark Souls 3 as the general consensus is that the bosses are the easiest to beat without getting hit.

It's an insane achievement, so a huge well done to him! The dedication to his cat is something I feel in my heart as I recently lost my cat of 18 years and memories of her sitting beside me as I played floods my mind.

Re: PlayStation Users Miffed with Sony's Lack of PSN Outage Transparency

They explained what happened. What did people want?

"Oh, Bill, our cleaner unplugged the server to vacuum. Bill's a new starter so couldn't contact anyone to tell them, until Keith our weekend employee came in and saw the flashing red lights.

'That's odd', Keith thought, 'as those lights are normally green'. However, it turned out that Bill had also knocked the phone line out and Keith was unaware so he couldn't call in the team to fix the red lights until later that afternoon. Bill has been reprimanded and as a company we have decided to purchase a wireless vacuum. The charger is being kept in the kitchen to limit further issues. We'll let all customers know if our kettle gets unplugged."

Re: Ubisoft Responds to Assassin's Creed Shadows Criticism, Apologises to Japanese Players

Crimson_Ridley

Once again, a small group moan about something trivial, a game, and a company backs down and apologises. This is why the world is the way it is. "I'm offended so you need to do what I want".

If they want to the game to be representative of their culture, shouldn't the game also depict their views towards mental health that is still seen as a weakness in Japan, and families will often disown disabled family members or sufferers of mental health because it brings shame on their family?

Work on that before insisting that a game is made the way you want it to be made.

Re: Pornhub Reveals 2023's Most Popular Video Game Characters

To those saying that this is inappropriate, I'd argue that Chun Li being searched as Fortnite over Street Fighter speaks more to the demographic that is searching on the website. Fortnite is primarily marketed and played by a younger audience, and there is a very slim chance that younger people do not know about that website already.

People need to stop putting the onus on everyone else to shield people from things and make more of an effort to protect themselves and others from what they consider inappropriate. You can't cry foul that PushSquare published this article about 18+ content when the majority of PlayStation's first party studios create 18+ games.

Re: FromSoftware Still Can't Get the Frame Rate Right in Armored Core 6, PS5 Analysis Shows

@General_Disarray
In all fairness, you are posting in a public comment section. You can reply to someone, but anyone else is entitled to join that discussion, as I am demonstrating now.

Your comment had valid points, as did StylesT's. Telling them that it has nothing to do with them is not cohesive with a public comment section.

As for the topic, I much prefer a locked frame rate, be that 60 that should by now be the industry standard, or 30 if all else fails. A fluctuating frame rate can be awful and depending on the user can cause discomfort. If your engine can't keep a consistent frame rate, just lock it. I suppose that's easier said than done, as I have no idea how it actually works, but I'm going to tell them what to do anyway!

Re: Call of Duty: Vanguard's PS5, PS4 Perks Are a Bit Embarrassing

Crimson_Ridley

To be fair, this is a good thing. If you play on PlayStation, you get a few bonuses but it doesn't completely lock other players out of modes, like Cold War did. This is the most consumer-friendly way of doing marketing deals.

I own a PS5, but I play CoD on PC so I'm very happy that I'm not being forced to buy the PS5 version if I want to play the full game. I don't see a downside to this.
