Re: PS5 Launch Makes Sea of Thieves One of USA's Best-Selling Games

CupidStunt

@Neither_scene Sony has the most profitable console business, even more so than Nitendo with their 50 million plus sellers of first party exclusive games that Sony and Microsoft could only hope to achieve. I doubt Sony will give up their exclusives too soon, as they are the sole reason to own a PS5 compared to other consoles

Re: Microsoft Still Wants to Put Xbox Game Pass on PS5, PS4

CupidStunt

If they put Gamepass on Sony and Nintendo consoles, as well as day 1 on PC, what would be the point in owning an X-Box. Their exclusives at the moment are not console sellers and not boundary pushing the art form. Their games feel like multi platform games rather than the higher quality normally associated with 1st party games.

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

CupidStunt

When a company releases a game such as TLoU2, that was so subversivd and pushed tbe boundaries of video game story telling to the point that the ending shows how games, with their interactivity, will surpass movies in emotionalliy impactful story telling (mo movie has ever made me hate myself as much as my on screen actions did), then they deserve all the success they get. PS4 had GoW, Bloodborne, Horizon, The Last Guardian... all of which were boundary pushing. Past games suchnas Ico and Shadow of the Colossus as well as Tokyo Jungle. I do feel though that Sony are playing far too safe this gen, and it makes me feel sad we may not be seeing games like Shadow of the Colossus, TLG, Unfinished Swan etc from them again. I loved Sony because of the more daring projects, alongside the crowd pleasing games.

Re: Concrete Genie Developer PixelOpus Is Shutting Down

CupidStunt

I feel sad at this loss. I always loved Sony because alongside their big guns and generic games, they had studios making more unique and imaginative titles such as Concrete Genie, Shadow of the Colossus, Journey, Gravity Rush, Pupeteer etc. It just feels that those days are coming to an end.

Re: Beyond Good & Evil 2 Just Found Its New Lead Writer

CupidStunt

It needed a new writer. The 2017 trailer was a horrid mess full of unnecessary swearing, clearly trying to appeal to the X-Box 360 generation from when it was first announced. They just needed to build and improve on the original template.

Here is hoping this game can materialise. Things do not seem good with Ubisoft at all at the moment.

Re: PS5 Owners Ponder What Sony Is Playing At with VRR

CupidStunt

I am quite disappointed by Sony's attitude this gen. The charging for PS4 to PS5 upgrades after stating ot would not be the case, no Gamepass alternative, increase in game prices. And also not keeping their customers in the loop with updates on promised features. Thank god for their exclusive games or I would be seriously considering jumping ship.

Re: Horizon Zero Dawn Sales Top a Staggering 20 Million on PS4, PC

CupidStunt

It is a phenomenal game with great gameplay and a great story. The amazing graphics are the icing on the cake as it is a rare game that has all of that. It deserves those very high sales. It is a shame it came out the same time as Breath of the Wild as I am sure it would have won numerous game of the year awards otherwise.

Re: Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Is So PS2 It Hurts

CupidStunt

Well as long as the gameplay is good. Nioh was amazing. Team Ninja have never been good at creating a story. Remember what they did to Samus in Metroid: Other M. The story was embarrassing but the Metroid gameplay was still very good.

I am expecting the same with this. Apart from FFXIV there has been no half decent story in a FF game since FFXII on PS2. The franchise has been completely bastardised.
