Re: Dragon Quest 12 Will Shape the Future of the Series, Says Square Enix Boss

CupidStunt

Dragon Quest XI S was the best JRPG since Skies of Arcadia. It was incredible because it was so traditional. The fact it stuck to its roots made it feel fresh as such games are very rarely released now. I hope they do not Westernise it, then bastardise it like they have the FF franchise. I am hoping it is still turn based and traditional. Fingers crossed.

Re: Reaction: E3 Is a Relic Desperately Clinging to Relevancy

I think E3 could be great, but the problem is the games. The release of big games were huge events. We would hear of them years before release and even see them in early development alongside lots of theatrics. However because if the indie scene releasing hundreds if not thousands of games a year, big publishers playing it safe and bastardizing their franchises (e.g. Squeenix with FF), and just relentless sequels to existing average franchises, it has taken a lot away from it. It just seems that game companies are out to make money now, and no one is making games out of passion anymore. The Last great E3 I csn remember is when Sony announced FF7 remake, Shenfield 3 and brought back The Last Guardian. E3 was for the core gaming geeks, now it is just a "me-too" event.

I did like the Metroid Dread announcement from Nintndo. 19 years in the making that game.

I would have loved to see a reboot taking Tomb Raider games back to their puzzling and Tomb Raider roots.

Re: Oddworld: Soulstorm (PS5) - A Tough Game to Love

It absolutely gets better after the blimp level, which was awful. However, the Mudokon AI is what makes this game worse. The should have kept it simple and made it a similar remake in the same vein as New'n'Tasty was for the original, with the funny Gamespeak and amazing puzzles.

Re: Instead of a New Tomb Raider Game, Here's a Cookbook

CupidStunt

I thought it was an early April Fools joke. What is going on with all the publishers and their awful showcases. First it was the rubbish Nintendo Direct, then the Sony livestream, and now this pish.

I mean where is the return to her roots game for the 25th anniversary, or even a Tomb Raider 2 remake. I was really thoroughly disappointed.

Re: This Is Why PS5, PS4 Microtransactions Won't Be Going Away

CupidStunt

As long as the keep giving core gamers fully fledged gaming experiences like God of War, Demon's Souls, TLoU2, Sackboy, Bloodborne etc that are full games on release, they can throw whatever microtransactions they want elsewhere. I love the fact Sony 1st party games are not normally plagued by them, and often come with excellent dlc. Here is hoping it stays that way.

Re: Next Tomb Raider Game to Blend Originals with Reboot Trilogy

CupidStunt

I hope Tomb Raiding, loneliness and puzzle solving are the main concept for the games again. It would be great to have a natural evolution for the old Tomb Raider style, say that Zelda has had over the years, rather than the big budget brainlessness of the main section of the reboot games.

Re: PS Plus January 2021 PS5, PS4 Games Announced

CupidStunt

@Mysterio There is plenty of beautiful scenery. In fact it is one of the most beautiful games I have ever played. Sadly the Challenge Tombs are rubbish compared to the previous game, as the puzzles are .inimal and it is mostly basic platforming in them.

Re: Dragon Quest XI S Is Indeed 60FPS on PS4 Pro

CupidStunt

I can't believe they are just up-ressing the Swiych graphics instead of giving us the same absolutely gorgeous graphics of the vanilla PS4 version. There is no denying it is an amazing game, but I will be skipping this version.

Re: Talking Point: What Do You Want to Know About PS5?

CupidStunt

What I really need to know, as Sony customer service does not even know, is more about the 4K. Blu-ray player. I know games are not Dolby Atmos/Vision compatible, but will the 4K Blu ray player have Dolby Atmos and Vision, and also HDR10+ compatability?

Also, as the games won't be DolbybAtmos compatible, will there be any surround sound in games for my current 7 1.2 set up, or is it only those with the headphones that are getting any surround sound?

Re: Nintendo Switch Overtakes PS4's Lifetime Sales in Japan

CupidStunt

@3Above Assasins Creed as a yearly gaming franchise. Golden Standard games are usually those that are every several years. Ones that push the boundaries and do something new. Games like God of War, BotW, Grand Theft Auto, Super Mario Galaxy come out once in a blue moon and sell millions, even way into a consoles lifespan after they are released, because they are incredible and take years of planning, research and production. Assassins Creed games are just churned out, like CoD games to appeal to the masses. Many get enjoyment out of these games but they are hardly gold standard.

Re: Nintendo Switch Overtakes PS4's Lifetime Sales in Japan

CupidStunt

@3Above I am not arguing that. And who said I didnt like those games so your point is completely irrelevant. This conversation started when you made the sweeping statement that Japanese games are no longer relevant. But you are completely wrong and I have proved you wrong. You also said that Nintendo games are not good, or insinuated that, and I just pointed out that millions of people would disagree, critics and gamers alike. The opinions of hundreds of critics, and millions of fans means more to me than yours. I personally love games of all kinds. Westetn and Japanese. There are good and bad on each. I prefer games that are more gamey and less movie like, and you are the opposite.

I absolutely love Playsyation, I love Nintendo too, I also loved the Original X-Box. But dont claim Japanese games are not relevant just because you are not a fan, and say they are not selling anymore when facts and figures would state otherwise.

Re: Nintendo Switch Overtakes PS4's Lifetime Sales in Japan

@3Above I played Horizon Zero Dawn and loved it, but it is nowhere near as varied and challenging as BotW. I am sure if it came out any other year, it would have win some game of the year awards. It is just a shame it came out the year as the same game many believe to be the best game if the past 20 years. If it were not for the combat, it would just be another generic open world game. Breath of the Wild had no pointers, you literally just got yourself lost in the game world and solved hundreds of puzzles. It was exceptionally varied, enormous and amazing they created such an open World that left you just to figure out everything on your own. Horizon was a movie like experience with cool combat and great graphics, but BotW was a thinking man's game. Do you own a Switch? I get the feeling that you don't. I love my movie like experiences, but I love my games more.
