Re: MX vs. ATV Legends Brings Big AA Energy with Latest PS5, PS4 Trailer

Cycologist

MX vs ATV was fine until they MTX'd the crap out of it with Alive and put well over 50% of the content into "DLC". Since then... AA is being generous as they always seem last gen in graphics. Hard pass for me.

Edit... maybe it'll be part of upgraded PS+ subs day one for those that go that route. It would be AA value then

Re: Criterion Games and Codemasters Cheshire Merge into One Need for Speed Studio

Cycologist

Criterion without Alex Ward and Fiona Sperry?
Codemasters Cheshire (EVO) without Paul Rustchynsky?

Yup, this is another sh** NFS in the making.

EA - just pay Three Fields to do a proper named sequel to Burnout. IMO, Dangerous Driving is Burnout all day long, to say nothing of the fact that Dangerous Driving 2 is MIA and TFE has been radio silent for nearly two years...

PS+ games release on first Tues of month. First in June is the 7th. Expanded PS+ starts on the 13th so I'm expecting two announcements. Regular PS+ announcement on previous Wed - June 1st and then expanded PS+ on the 13th. 🤣

Wishful thinking I know 😇🙏

Re: Poll: What Do You Expect from Retro PlayStation Games on PS5, PS4?

Cycologist

I expect the original game. If you upgrade the game whether by graphics or gameplay or adding trophies/saves you are not playing a retro game. I personally do not play old games either to replay a favorite or play something I missed. Pointless to me.

But there are gray areas to the above like Crash Bandicoot remake and Journey for me so.....

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Gran Turismo 7?

Cycologist

Gave it a 6.5
lost a star for stupid implementation of MTX/credits
lost a star for being unfinished - and knowing how long it'll take PD to get there
lost a star for offroad physics - they're as bad as paved is good
lost .5 star for losing ability to save photos to USB

everything else.... kiss kiss kiss

Re: PS Plus February 2022 PS5, PS4 Games Announced

Cycologist

Last month I redeemed Dirt 5 out of pity. No such luck this month. Move along. Nothing to see.

I fear the PS+/Now reboot will lead me to lament the passing of two services.

For all the hits of Sony Studios, Sony itself is surprisingly inept.

Re: Hideo Kojima Fans Investigate PS5 Exclusive Abandoned, Reads Like Conspiracy Theories

Cycologist

If anyone cared, it wouldn't have been laid out in a single article by a "reporter" but followed by fans. That virtually no one knew of this besides the broad strokes of PT, Silent Hill and Kojima says most don't care and are only interested because internet told them to. If it is in fact a Silent Hill by Kojima, his marketing needs to be a lot less esoteric to appeal to more than the handful of fans who follow this stuff. Also shows how far in advance he's thinking (if it's him)
