Re: Poll: PS5 Fans, Are You Sold on the Nintendo Switch 2?

Dimey

I wanted to pre-order. never mind I've owned just about every Nintendo console ever made, and purchased a stupid amount of games. because I'm not a subscriber to the rubbish that is switch online, I'm not deemed worthy by Nintendo to be allowed to preorder. fek this.

Re: Poll: PS5 Fans, Are You Sold on the Nintendo Switch 2?

It costs more than a PS5!

I'll still get one, as the kit itself looks very tidy. But no new Zelda or 3D Mario game is a shame. And classic Nintendo, having to pay to up the frame rate on BOTW...

I mean, BOTW is my favourite ever game, so I'll get the Switch 2 and the upgrade... but there isn't ONE first party game I am remotely interested in...

and anybody have wheelchair basketball on their bingo card??

still not played Fallout 4, but really enjoyed Fallout 3. Spent 6 months working in this part of the country in a research station 25 years ago, and studied the Windscale accident as part of my Masters, so very interested in this game!

too many games to play!

Re: Ex-Xbox System Seller Starfield Edges Ever Closer to PS5

Dimey

Don't listen to the obvious haters, often parroting opinions of others. I put well over 100 hours into this, whilst it lacks the exploration of other Bethesda games, and the loading screens aren't amazing, the main and faction quests are fantastic. It's a good game.

Re: Could the Next Xbox Get a Head Start on PS6?

Dimey

Unless they significantly up their marketing, store presence, exclusive games, give people a reason to buy an xbox and heck even make people aware that xbox exists, who is going to buy this? I have over a hundred digital games across the last 3 xbox consoles but picked up a PS5 (my first since PS2) solely due to all the exclusive games. Xbox going multi platform means I have zero reason to buy another MS console, and I'm a 'fan'.

Gamepass has zero appeal to me, I already have too many games, and if you wait 6 months for a game to be fixed/patched/bugs removed, it's normally fairly cheap on sale anyway.

Re: Reaction: The PS5 Discourse Around State of Plays Is Becoming Draining

@Sakai I mean, headlines on this site like "Sony XDEV urges fans to tune in to state of play" etc will create some expectations. After that, I expected some exciting announcements. Lots of these multi platform games shown look good, but I expected more than I saw, based on the hype Sony themselves created...

with so much negative Sony press recently around years of wasted dev time on live service, lots of job losses, we then have an SOP announced, that feels like a positive reaction to all the negativity. Sony staff themselves URGING us to watch... then it's all so mid...

As a longtime, older gamer, but new to PS, I don't know what the purpose of the SOP is, so it's hard to set expectations accordingly. Both MS and Sony make decisions that baffle me, but regardless of the aim of the SOP, I just can't wrap my head around them not mentioning the FREE Astro Bot DLC that was about to drop the next day!

Xbox made a lot of mistakes, but their developer directs are now spot on, 3 or 4 games, proper deep dive and they're games coming out SOON!

Switch do third party directs, and that's what this SOP largely felt like to me.

SOP was a rather soulless slideshow of 3rd party games, all rather impersonal... I love how Yoshiaki Koizumi presents the Nintendo directs
