Re: Rise of the Ronin Preview Details Open World, Moral Choices, Combat, More

GKT

The preview over on G.I. painted a pretty clear picture to me. Open world game with some Mass Effect type choices that lead to "one of several endings", soulslike so "combat revolves around studying and learning enemy patterns gleaned after repeated failures" and "it still punishes death in the same Soulslike fashion, where players must retrieve fallen experience points".

If Team Ninja wasn't making this I'd have no interest, but their games just click for me. Hopefully this one will too πŸ™‚

Re: What Was Announced at The Game Awards 2023?

Light No Fire absolutely blew me away. I can't remember being more excited to see how a game will turn out.

Also SUPER pumped for the Warframe update because cross platform save is coming with it! Haven't played it on PS5 because I put so much time in it on PC and didn't want to start over. I think the game is a freaking blast and can't wait to play it again.

Re: Soapbox: The Wait for GTA 6 on PS5 Will Be Excruciating

With 5, it looked pretty, but I was shocked by how incredibly shallow the world, and really the game in general, was while lacking the fun of Vice and SA. I can't think of a game that was so critically acclaimed that I found absolutely skippable after finishing. The trailer for 6 looks pretty too, so that's nice, but pretty meaningless. Also "all the social media references in the latest title’s trailer" was an instant turnoff. The wait for me will be the PS6 version when it goes on a heavy sale

Re: Random: Yes, Netflix Really Is Getting GTA for Christmas

GKT

"... available to members at no extra cost, as the company looks to retain subscribers by tacking on attractive value adds"

But also Netflix to shareholders after raising prices last month - "As we deliver more value to our members, we occasionally ask them to pay a bit more”
Couldn't agree more with @Robinsad

Re: Ubisoft Says In-Game Ads in Old Assassin's Creed Titles Were Down to a 'Technical Error'

GKT

"It’s unclear whether this test expands beyond Odyssey just yet" It's also in Origins. I recently started my first playthrough, and a few days ago the ad for Mirage popped up when opening the map for the first time. I said out loud "seriously, dude?" not just cause it's ridiculous, but the same ad popped up (and had to be dismissed to continue) after the title screen.

Re: Hardware Review: PS Portal Is the Perfect PS5 Companion (For Some)

GKT

"That of course leaves the PS Portal at the mercy of potential stick drift" "...a year or two down the line your PS Portal could possibly be rendered useless because of it".

I actually want to see how far Sony can go with the hustle because a $200 device probably being USELESS in that period of time seems to be mostly just fine with ppl lol

Re: Sony's PlayStation Replay Patent Could Be a Genuine Game Changer

GKT

Sounds interesting and I'd like to see how it would be implemented. The points needing to be "manually flagged by developers" sounds like chapter or mission select, so maybe it could make it easier for devs to have that feature.

@ShogunRok Oh nice. That sounds like what I was thinking. More games having something like a chapter select would be fantastic imo

Re: Interest in Destiny 2 Reportedly at an All-Time Low

GKT

I tried a few times to get into it, but just couldn't, despite it sounding like it was right up my alley.

I was unaware ppl don't have access to stuff they paid for, that's upsetting. And apparently some of it's necessary stuff to make sense of the story?...so it craps on the dedicated players, and new players don't know what's going on. Idk, probably not the strategy I'd pick, and I'm a dummy lol.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 489

GKT

Diablo 4. My Necro has had some close calls since going into torment difficulty on hardcore mode and needs gear upgrades pretty much all around. Having a lot of fun with it πŸ™‚ Also really want to start Death's Door from ps plus. Was on my wishlist, so I'm thrilled to have it for free. Hope you folks have a lovely weekend 🀘

Re: Poll: Will You Be Muting Your PS5's Beep?

GKT

@deathaxe Different cables, routers, even a different isp (switched for other reasons), randomly disconnects and reconnects. Tried other possible safe mode fixes as well lol. But yeah, wifi works without a hiccup.

@RobN Fortunately, searching "lan cable randomly disconnects ps5" turned up many results. Unfortunately, none of them seem to really work 😟 lol. My wifi rules, but I'd feel a lot better hardlined. Oh well I guess
