Re: Rumour: Gears of War: E-Day Was Coming to PS5, Xbox Only Just Cancelled Port

EfYI

I think it is safe to say that Satyr Mortadella gives with one hand and takes away with the other. It is the last four hands, you need to watch out for.

If you understood that joke you know your Italian sausage and your indian gods.

My first response was "Oh no! Anyways." The problem with games on EVERY platform is I can't play that much and would rather have competition between platforms. M$ has been forthcoming and released a SLEW of titles for PS and I haven't touched a single one - yet! That's because there's too many games!

Re: Bungie Fixes Marathon Mess by Giving Away Full Game to Fans Who Purchased Due to Misleading PS5 Store Description

EfYI

I remember back when I first got a PS4 and wanted to buy Destiny after thinking it would be a cool RPG/shooter in an MMO world.

When I first dove into the beta, I was surprised but enjoying myself. Then everything exploded when trials and raids were introduced. Playing as a hunter, I completely wrecked opponents (although I never excelled at raiding even if I did it a lot I was seldomly the star player). I've never hit that high before or after in multiplayer games. Destiny is the only game that made me seek out hundreds of players.

Destiny 2 was just a worse game over all. The quality kept going down and I was soon on to other things.

With Marathon, I tried the beta for an hour or two. There are thousands of good games out there, so I didn't buy. And that's my problem right now, I can't really support devs I like, because there's too much to play and too little time or money.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 636

EfYI

Recently, I've been playing Star Wars: Outlaws and I quite like it.

Also, some Astrobot (prepackaged with the console) with my daughter.

I let my Premium run out, but then it was discounted for the price of what amounts to a game's deluxe edition. So, that's another 12 months for me of constant showering of gifts. Maybe I can come back to all my owned games at some point, and even buy some of the awesome games out like 007, but right now I will take it easy and finish Outlaws.

Re: 'One of the Best Showcases I've Seen': 70% of PS5 Fans Loved State of Play

EfYI

@Frmknst

You have to consider the possibility that you have a skewered outlook on gaming that is full of unfair evaluations.

I've noticed a fairly large amount of mostly negative comments on your behalf.

Taste is subjective, but only to an extent, and your evaluations are rarely credible to me on account of the overuse of the pathetic appeal.

Re: Reaction: Leaks Robbed State of Play of Its Biggest Surprise, But Show Still Spotlighted Many PS5 Games I'll Buy

EfYI

Yes, like you say Playstation has gotten good at State of Plays.

I voted 'very good' and if I hadn't read that stupid leak article, I would probably have lost it over seeing that sexy, delicious gelatinous cube. Because, everything else blew me away because of the sheer production value.

Is this the best Sony can hope for? I think that recent discoveries about disappointing sales numbers for games is going to be an ongoing trend. The studios now have "templates" for developing games. A God of War-template, an insomniac action game-template, a Returnal template, and so on. With Intergalactic, Naughty Dog may actually have to do something new, but otherwise I sense a certain stagnation in ideas, where the technical side are nearing a point of diminishing returns. HOW can a PS6 impress me more than GOW: Laufey on PS5 Pro...?

I think Sony needs to time their PS6-launch very carefully and not expect to sell as many as there is PS5 (and PS5 Pros). They need to find new customers in their pre-existing owners of PS5s that apparently only play GTA V, Roblox, Fortnite, EA FC and Call of Duty. Or if first party software has long legs, try and spin the narrative, because right now there's a narrative that paints the output as being disappointing in quality, quantity and sales.

Re: 'What Happens to Gods When They Die?': PS5's New God of War Pulls All Pantheons into One Magical Place

EfYI

It looks absolutely stunning, no doubt. I like the premise, the art direction, character models, the sheer graphical prowess demonstrated.

That said I thought it was a very weird interview. Cory looks like a mystical guru talking to a lady who worked her way from being the cafeteria lady to the top of Santa Monica as the project manager. She came back for him? She spends the interview relaying why he isn't the game director anymore. She handles thousands of questions and problems throughout the development. Jokes aside, he decides the overall story and the way the two games start really shows he probably knew early on (or understood later) how to fit in a game set in a pantheon of gods' afterlife.

Re: 'That Looks Like Sh*t': God of War Creator Predictably Tears New PS5 Game to Shreds

EfYI

This sets a bad example for gelatinous cubes everywhere.

I mean, they made it reveal EVERYTHING you'd want to gawk at, and left nothing to the imagination. All eight vertices and twelve straight edges. The viscosity and wobble of this thing sets an impossible standard for other cubes, gelatinous or not.

Also, I'm pretty sure this cube has used dye to get such a lovely shade of blue, and I think we all can agree that's NOT their natural hue!

Re: 17 PS5 Predictions for State of Play June 2026

EfYI

I think we'll see:

  • Surprising Wolverine gameplay. People are lowballing the games of Insomniac of late, and I think this game will be even more highly anticipated after the showing.
  • Rayman will feature. Because leaks say so. I'm not interested in that type of game, but if they market it right everyone will feel the nostalgia/potential.
  • Intergalactic will be shown. It seems incredible that ND has so little to show for it self as of late. Hopefully 'the best Playstation studio' and their much-revered lead ND can swing big for Playstation.
  • Marvel Tokon. It looks good, they say. Why not continue to market it as they have been.
  • Break In. The artist formerly known as Fairgame$. Will we see actual gameplay this time?
  • Media Molecule. Your article and video has me convinced that if everyone coasting has been told to step up to the plate, MM will also have to show what they're working on. Bend maybe with a tease. It would be embarrassing to be absent once again.

Re: PS Store Days of Play Sale Live Now with 2,000+ PS5 Game Deals

EfYI

Right now, I'm scrambling to play Star Wars: Outlaw on PS Plus before my subscription lapses. I bought two dlc-episodes after being really impressed with the graphics and performance on PS5 Pro.

There's too many games that are such high quality. I think a 25 per cent discount for Ghost of Yotei is a very good offer, but PS Plus has better value for me so I can hardly keep up with purchasing games these days.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 634

EfYI

I am squeezing the last juices out of my subscription which soon runs out.

Star Wars: Outlaw and Infinity Yakuza: Hawaiian ***** is on my playlist.

I am entertained playing through them, and that's all I can say at the moment. I do wonder if Star Wars: Outlaw also deserves a second review!

Re: Reaction: Sony's Big State of Play Must Deliver as PS5 Perception Sinks to an All-Time Low

EfYI

I think it isn't that important and that PS5 is fine.

However, this is a chance to bring home the signal change from dead multiplayer properties to prosperous single player games. So, it isn't like there isn't a lot to gain from this.

The price hikes for PS plus is non-existent for the players who try and get a year on discount by letting the service run out. That could change, but it is really a bargain at this point. A 10/10 service for me.

If they want me to get blown away, then the following will happen:

  • Wolverine will look amazing
  • Bend will announce Days Gone 2
  • Intergalactic will feature innovative, new, fresh gameplay.
  • Fairgames will be shown and everyone will like it (just kidding 😂)

Re: PS Plus Price Increase Announced by Sony for New Members

EfYI

My subscription runs out and I cancelled auto-renewal. Either I resub at a discount during May Madness, or I am finally "free" to play my backlog, as I won't get distracted by access to three libraries of games, trials for new games, a portfolio of films and online streaming on the portal.

I will most definitely resub at some point as it offers excellent value and variety. Just a matter of when.

This price rise is just for those who dip their toes for a three month sub or less. Not really something that devalues my interest in the service at all.

I haven't read the comments, but people will react as if it is a price rise across the board which it isn't.

Re: 8 PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for May 2026 Announced

EfYI

Despite the rumours (of DG2 arriving on PS+), I picked up Dragon's Dogma 2 on sale, and had been eyeing the discounted Outlaws as well, but didn't buy.

Now, I can finish my time with a year's PS+ with Like a Dragon, Infinite Wealth and Outlaw.

Re: You Need a PS5 Pro to Play 007 First Light at Its Best on Console

EfYI

It looks great. Good to know the Pro is in the equation on launch day!

I noticed how Bond was hit by bullets quite a lot. I hope it is turned down a bit, because it took something out of my over all immersion.

The Bond films of late has had these elaborate, choreographed action sequences and I think they really nail that aspect.

Re: First The Last of Us Season 3 Set Photos Surface, But Does Anyone Still Care?

EfYI

I knew people would dislike TLOU 2 - the HBO show because it is based on a very badly construed story. I said as much in the comments on here.

My gut tells me that Neil couldn't handle someone else on top at Naughty Dog. I think he was instrumental in the cut of Factions 2. And what a waste that was!

All in all, I really hope for someone else to shepherd the talented devs.

Re: Why Is Everyone Acting So Weird About PS5 Game Mixtape?

EfYI

@Morriskind

The kind of woke that wants to fight you or the kind that merely is diverse?

Last of Us 2 was for me a game I wish I peeked at the criticism before purchasing, because I felt it was specifically trolling me in how it was made, and how Neil acted in media.
