Re: Soapbox: I Think I'm Over Trophies

Fenbops

I’ve only ever got platinums when I really enjoy a game and there’s no tediousness to it. I find it a bit sad when people will play anything and everything just for platinums.

I agree with the article I don’t really care about them anymore, it’s a pointless digital trophy that ultimately means nothing.

Re: EA Sports Still at Risk of Losing the FIFA Name as 'Bitter Dispute' Rages On

Fenbops

No big lover of EA but they should just tell Fifa to shove it and EA should continue making football games under a different name. Good luck to FIFA finding a Dev with the money they want and the dev team ready to make games for them, it’s not as easy as they probably think.

I can’t stand FIFA they’re just another corrupt, greedy corporation who virtue signal while doing unethical business themselves.

Re: Poll: What Game Will Win at The Game Awards 2021?

Fenbops

Ratchet and Clank kinda came and went, it was pretty to look at and fun but nothing exceptional. I enjoyed Psychonauts 2 more but got a bit fed up of it towards the end. This year really hasn’t had any stand out games.

Out of the list I’d actually like to see Resident Evil 8 win, I haven’t played it myself but know a couple of my friends love that game and it was very well received as far as I’m aware.

But yeah some good games this year, but nothing exceptional imo. I don’t care what wins tbh.

Re: The Game Awards 2021 Nominees Will Be Announced Next Week

Fenbops

There has been nothing exceptional this year, I honestly don’t know what I’d pick. There’s been good games but none have stood out. R+C kinda game and went as did Kena. I’m enjoying FH5 but wouldn’t say it’s GOTY quality, it’s very similar to 4.

The best game I’ve probably played this year is Metro Exodus with its free upgrade, but obviously it’s an older title.

Re: Feature: PS5 Report Card - How Is It After One Year?

Fenbops

It’s a good console. The quick load times are nice and the controller is great even though I don’t think it’s as revolutionary as most make out. The main problem for me isn’t the console it’s Sonys direction so far this gen, raising the price of gaming for everyone with their very steep price increases and charging for updates others have been providing for free. It’s not been a great year for the once ‘consumer friendly’ company of the PS4 gen in that regard.

Re: You Can Save Scum Using Returnal's New Suspend Cycle Feature on PS5

Fenbops

@lindos there is no downside I said this ages ago when I played the game and my save corrupted and it reset my game to the beginning losing all progress. I gave the game one more chance then sold it before this update. I was told at the time ‘this is what the developer intended, it doesn’t need a save system’ even though the game was fundamentally broken without one.

Re: Sony Establishes PlayStation PC Label to Spearhead Porting Push

Fenbops

This approach has worked for Microsoft so it will for Sony. Laugh all you want about Xbox ‘having no games’ because they release on PC at the same time, Microsoft’s gaming revenue has shot up and Sony now want in on that too.

There’s still a place for consoles, I don’t worry about that. People forget that PC is the lowest spec for games to be played on, those with top end gaming rigs are the minority. Where I think there’ll be an issue is with Sonys pricing, I already won’t pay £70 for Sonys games, it’s a rip off and if they start coming to PC, 6 months to a year later for cheaper, questions need to be asked.

Re: PS4 Exclusive God of War Releasing on PC in January

Fenbops

If you’re a patient person and can wait 1 or 2 years you can play PlayStation ‘exclusives’ on a PC going forward it seems. Great time to be a PC gamer. Personally I like ease of use of the consoles so stick to them but there’s no denying Sony Exclusives are becoming well… less exclusive.

A lot of Sony fans like to laugh at Xbox having no exclusives because they also release on PC, can’t really laugh at them anymore as Sony are doing the same, only with a slightly different strategy.

Re: 'Checkmate, Lawyers' - dbrand Returns with Newly Designed PS5 Faceplates

Fenbops

Haha go Dbrand. Yes their PR is different and some people don’t like it, I personally find it refreshing and fun. I have their original dark plates and they’re a great company to deal with, they’ve been going for years. I like these new plates too, think the design is nice.

Well played Dbrand. Well played.

Re: Crysis Remastered Trilogy (PS4) - A Franchise with an Identity Crysis

Fenbops

A lot of work has gone into Crysis 2 and 3. I watch the DF video and the difference between these and the PS3/360 versions is pretty crazy and it’s also a super smooth 60fps on the new consoles. They still look good today. I’ve never been into Crysis, this collection seems like good value if you’re into it though.

Re: Astria Ascending (PS5) - Beautiful 2D RPG Falls Flat

Fenbops

@Agramonte I’m waiting for Sable to be patched the performance isn’t good at all but once it is I’ll jump in, its art style is phenomenal.

I don’t think I’ll try this game even on Gamepass it doesn’t sound great.

Re: Jim Ryan to Discuss PlayStation's Past and Gaming's Future in Fireside Chat

Fenbops

I can think of much better ways to spend my time thanks. Ryan says some stupid things, but he’s just one cog in the Sony money making machine. Sony have raised the base price of gaming with their policies and that isn’t good for anyone. They have a nice nostalgic past, the future I’m looking less forward to on Sonys current trajectory.
