Re: Mass Effect 1 Has 'Gameplay Enhancements' in Mass Effect Legendary Edition

Crimson_Ridley

I believe this is partly why the game has taken so long to be remastered, because Mass Effect 1 has probably required a complete overhaul.

On the one hand, it's going to be great to play the game again with a feel more akin to Mass Effect 2, but on the other hand Mass Effect 1 has a lot of fans that prefer the style of gameplay is started with, and not the one it evolved in to in later entries.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 357

@Voltan I think I know which one you mean, Saint Faith in Hamtunscire?

I had a couple of treasure hoard locations glitch on me, so I had to exit the animus or change gender a couple of times to get them to work. If you've not already tried that, might be worth a go?

Can you attack the nun to see if it forces the game to get her to attack back?

@Voltan The fish were a pain in the arse. I found that they would never spawn if my longboat was nearby, so I had to keep fast travelling away, then making my way back to the coasts without the boat.

I also had to meditate a few times to get them to show up. There is definitely an issue with them that Ubisoft really need to look in to.

Which World Event has glitched?

Re: Poll: Did You Request a Cyberpunk 2077 Refund on PS5, PS4?

Crimson_Ridley

I bought it on PS4, and then Stadia for the free Premier Edition. The Stadia version is brilliant, but I'm not getting a refund on the PS4 version, as I'm quite happy to wait for it to be fixed, and if it doesn't, it doesn't.

I've wasted more money on food I didn't like, clothes I'll never wear, and people I hate. This is far from the worst thing to take money from my wallet.

@oldschool1987
Have you seen Chris? He's way more jacked than Abby, so I don't think a zombie could even make a dent. 😂

@jmac1686
Oh, there's no doubt some people will demand changes. It's the popular thing to do. When Ubisoft are being forced to change a description of a character for using the term "disfigured", anything is possible.

Re: CD Projekt RED Responds to Cyberpunk 2077 Epilepsy Concerns

Crimson_Ridley

Did anyone else read through the EULA for the flavour text from the Night City native?

I don't know why, but I find it pretty cool that CD Project have even tried to make the legal stuff more interesting! 😂

On the topic of epilepsy, I hope CDPR can make some changes to the colours and patterns used as soon as possible to minimise any discomfort and serious issues for their player base.

I wouldn't go as far to say they did this on purpose, but possibly didn't take extra care when designing them to make sure they were safe for everyone to enjoy.

For those of you with a condition, please stay safe if you play the game, and depending on the severity of your condition, take extra care if you can't wait for the changes before playing the game.

Re: Round Up: Cyberpunk 2077 Reviews Mark Another Epic RPG

Crimson_Ridley

@Jayofmaya Ghost of Tsushima.

I'm not too surprised to see some average reviews, the game has clearly been a struggle to develop, and for as good as CDPR are, I think it's a bit beyond their current limits.

I've ordered the game, and will be getting stuck in, but The Witcher 3 needed a few patches before it improved significantly, and this looks like it'll need a few more before it reaches a level that we can all be happy with.

At least we can close the book on the wait, and use the game as an example of how hype can really sour the experience of a game.

Re: Some PS5 Digital Editions Are Shipping with Blu-ray Drives

Crimson_Ridley

I don't know why, but my mind always jumps to skepticism when it comes to things like this. You could quite easily swap out the console, repackage it and open it again on video to "prove" they packaged the wrong console. Reddit karma and the chance of a viral tweet makes people go to great lengths. 😂

Re: Demon's Souls PS5 Doesn't Have Sixth Archstone, No Difficulty Modes

Crimson_Ridley

@armondo36 Practise makes perfect. A huge part of the reason the Souls series is beloved is because of the huge sense of accomplishment you get from progressing little by little. If you add an easier difficulty, it defeats the object of the game. They are designed to be tough, but not unfairly so.

The way I see it, if you entered a swimming race and the person next to you used a speedboat, what was the point of all that training? Sure, you'll be damn good at swimming, but that person won with no effort. With Souls, the effort you put in pays dividends and when you win, you earned it.

Re: The Japanese PS5 Launch Ad Actually Features Games

Crimson_Ridley

@koffing And it's all the better for it. 😂
@phil_j Two of them; Spider-man and Demon's Souls. 👍

Really liked this advert. There's nothing more important when advertising a console than games. Certainly, adverts like the Xbox birth-death one sticks in your mind like an advert should, but you always need games in there to show people what to expect from the console.

Those very brief seconds of Demon's Souls goes a long way to remind me that THE DAYS ARE GOING BY TOO DAMN SLOWLY! The 12th to the 19th are going to be the worst though. 😩

Re: Days Gone Gets Huge 25GB Update Ahead of PS5

Crimson_Ridley

@Revengercm In an ideal world, of course, but then when companies like CDProject decide to postpone a release while they work on getting it ready for all the consoles it'll release on, they get death threats. There's no way anyone can win.

Re: Days Gone Gets Huge 25GB Update Ahead of PS5

Crimson_Ridley

@thehappyaerithch I think you can safely say that about any game, they very rarely live up to the hype generated.

Days Gone started off pretty badly, but over the years after its release, a lot of work has been done to make it a worthwhile addition to the PlayStation line-up.

Re: Hands On: The Watch Dogs Legion Gimmick Can't Hide Tired Gameplay

Crimson_Ridley

I expected as much, and that's why I've paid no attention to the marketing of the game. Watch Dogs 1 was too bland, Watch Dogs 2 was full of irritating characters and a dull story, so I didn't have any hopes that Ubisoft would be able to pull off something brilliant with this one.

I'm more interested in reception to Valhalla, as I'm slowly becoming interested in Assassin's Creed again.

Re: PS5 Stand Solution Is Seriously Nifty

Crimson_Ridley

@Richnj I think that's because disc trays have historically been on the top of a console rather than the bottom. It's going to take a bit of adjustment for sure, but other than the 360, I've never had a console stood vertically. 😂
