Re: Poll: Are You Playing Assassin's Creed Mirage?

I will probably get it on a deep sale. Odyssey and Valhalla were too long. Felt like a chore halfway through. I don’t like to quit games halfway, always finish a game that I start. I really enjoyed Origins and Black Flag and hated how they minimized ships later on. Recent AC games are beautiful but I have found them rather boring and dull. Kind of burned out at the moment, need a break from AC games.

Re: GTA 6 Release Window Seemingly Narrowed Down to Fiscal Year 2024

I have love lost faith in Rockstar (Take Two). Their PS2 games, all the Max Payne, Read Dead Redemption games have been classics. I enjoyed GTA 5 single player campaign, but Rockstar's push to online , terrible GTA Trilogy and RDR 1 port rollout makes me question future releases. I know that every company wants to make money and I don't begrudge them, but Rockstar has crossed over to pure greed.

Re: Sony's Massive PS Store Summer Sale Starts Next Week

Dman10

So, Sony will just have the same sale prices on same games as they have been having for the last 6 months? I still remember their fantastic flash sales that they used to have. At one point, they had a $1 Flash sale in 2015 and several $5 flash sales. Their sales were crazy back then. Nothing in last couple of years even comes close anymore.

Re: Over Half of Season Dev Scavengers Studio Laid Off

I blame Gamespass and PS Plus. Gamers wait for games to go to these services. Developers then have no choice but to participate in these services most likely for next to nothing. It's that or this is what happens if they don't. PS Plus and Gamepass are great deals for gamers, terrible for developers and publishers.

Re: Feature: Our PlayStation Showcase Predictions

Dman10

I think Sony was holding back because of Sony fighting with Microsoft over Activision acquisition. Sony did not want to seem like they have big games without Activision. Now that it is over, I have high expectations to see what Sony has been hiding.

Re: Ubisoft Intends to Assign Even More Developers to Assassin's Creed Games

Dman10

I liked Origins and Black Flag a lot. I liked Syndicate because it was different than a typical AC game. Odysseus and Valhalla were both some of the best looking games , yet I was bored playing them. I love in game movies to set up the story, but the conversations between characters were plain dull in both games. Not to mention discouraging sneaking around, and basically making the bird useless. Next game needs to be different, maybe a more exciting storyline.

Re: Horizon Forbidden West Dev to Reveal Studio's Future at UK Event

Didn't they say that they wanted a Trilogy. Horizon 3 is a given the way Horizon 2 ends. Love the graphics, the world, and the Aloy character. I find the conversations between the characters incredibly boring. And I want and love story driven games. All the other characters do is stare at Aloy and go into boring speeches. Uncharted, Last of Us, God of War show how it can be done with more excitement. Hope Horizon 3 fixes those interactions.

Re: Xbox Boss Admits Microsoft Can't 'Outconsole' PS5

Dman10

While PS Plus and game pass are fantastic deals for gamers, they are terrible for developers. Most gamers will now wait for a game to come to game pass and will purchase less games. The quality of games will decrease as Redfall has just shown. But if Microsoft starts investing in a lot of quality games, they could overtake Sony. But they also have to balance that with making a profit on game pass. I don’t see it sustainable for Microsoft to have day one games on game pass that are of high production values and quality.

Re: Best PS Vita Games

Dman10

Great handheld, lots of great Indie games and HD collections. Awesome AAA games like Uncharted Golden Abyss were very rare on Vita, something PSP had plenty of. Exclusive AAA games like GTA would have helped to make Vita more popular. I sold the Vita and moved to Switch, which shows that AAA can still sell on handhelds. Maybe one day Sony will try again with the handheld. I would buy it.
