Re: Poll: Did You Pre-Order a PS5 Pro?

Fishnpeas

Literally first Sony console I haven't bought at launch going all the way back to picking up a PS1 from HMV. I just cannot find value in it because I'm at the point where my PC is more powerful than the pro and there just isn't enough exclusive and compelling content to warrant the purchase.

Re: Reaction: Why There Are So Many Unnecessary PS5 Remasters for Games That Don't Need Them

Fishnpeas

The teams have run out of ideas. Remasters are the easiest way to rinse us, low cost, low effort, full price.

Even when they do come up with either a sequel or a new game they seem to be very badly written (I'm looking at you Forbidden West), packed to the rafters with unnecessary filler that stretches the game way too thin (Ragnarok) or just an overall shambles of the most inane side content I have ever seen (Spiderman 2).

Sony need to stop chasing trends and go back to creating rock solid 10-15 hour experiences that kept you from ever putting it down.

Re: PS5 Exclusives Final Fantasy 16, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Failed to Meet Expectations

Fishnpeas

I've been buying FF games since PS1 as they passed my by during the SNES days and haven't missed an installment, but good lord 16 was dull. It started off really strong with some great side quests and story content then descended into an absolute slog round about hour 20. I just didn't connect with most of the characters with the exception of CID, they were just irritating. I've been loving the 7 remake and can't wait for the third, I just hope there is still an industry there by the time they release it. Quality overall is going through the floor.

Re: Talking Point: Is PS5 Pro Way Too Expensive?

"£700 is still a better proposition than a higher-end PC, and if we’re running games at 4K, 60 frames-per-second, with ray tracing"

It isn't running at native 4k, it's normally running at around 1080p and is being upscaled. If you are doing a like for like comparison to a PC, the PS5 pro is the equivalent of a pc running with a 3070 graphics card. You can actually get a mid range PC for roughly the same cost with the same performance.

Re: Round Up: Star Wars Outlaws PS5 Reviews Are Hit and Miss

@AhmadSumadi you realise that rushing to defend the vacuous trash of a massive corporation will not earn you brownie points right?

Hey, if you enjoy bad games have at it, I have a soft spot for 187 Ride or Die so can understand, it doesn't mean I would score it higher than a 4 though.

Re: PS5's Lack of Tentpole Exclusives Isn't Hurting Engagement, Says Sony

Fishnpeas

Haven't been on my PS5 since I got FFVII - 2, especially since they ditched PSVR2, so I have ordered the PC adapter and made the transition fully to PC.
I've been with Sony since day 1, and even worked there for a couple of years, they have completely lost the plot. I think the gaming industry has a whole has forgotten how to make good games.

Re: Astro Bot Raises the Bar for Sony's PS Studios Intros on PS5

Fishnpeas

It felt like an announcement that they were putting PSVR2 on the discontinued shelf.

Astro Bot genuinely revolutionised platforming on VR, and having this as a standard screen game makes it feel like just another Mario 3D World clone.

This state of play has honestly made me seriously consider getting rid of the PS5 and PSVR, it no longer has anything worthwhile for me, I may as well stick with PC.

Gutted.
