Re: PS Plus March 2022 PS5, PS4 Games Announced

GalacticBreakdown

I'm super hype for Ghostrunner. People are a little off though because this version of the game was never on PS Now. Only the PS4 version was, which I played through PS Now when I still had the service. I've wanted to try out the PS5 version for awhile now, have thought about buying it on sale, & I'm glad I don't have to now.

Re: Cyberpunk 2077 (PS5) - Dark Future RPG Is Finally Ready to Rock

GalacticBreakdown

@JohnGrey Oh here we go with the dude who gets all hung over the number on the review rather than it's actual content. Comparing the numbers at the end of reviews rather than the content & context within them is surely more absurd than the PS review staff. The numbers are just there.... most reasonable patrons here recognize that some "8's" are better than others & likewise. All "8's" are not equal. So chill out & get a grip with how ridiculous you sound going on about "unironically listening Captain Beefheart" & whatever you're talking about.... all because a review of Cyberpunk 2077 was "ONE NUMBER LOWER THAN HORIZON!!! HUUUAAHHHH!!!!"

Re: God of War Ragnarok PS5, PS4 Still Pegged to Release This Year

GalacticBreakdown

Listen, I understand the reasoning to compare sequel iterations but whoever said Resident Evil 1-6 are basically the same game.... bad take. 1-3 are similar, 4 changed things up dramatically, and 5-6 are what they are & are very different. Like I don't think 6 is anywhere close to the first 3 games, it's almost incomparable.

But I understand your point.... sequels don't need to completely change the formula. When that formula gets stale or stops working, I understand the reason for changing things up. But when you have a wildly loved & successful first game in a series, the sequel should build from that & improve the formula, when Horizon gets a few games in, I can understand maybe trying to switch things up on a fundamental level, but not on your first sequel, that's when you alienate your audience & the people who made your first game a success....HFW is a great game and I'm thoroughly enjoying it, I feel like some people just hamper their enjoyment of games by being hypercritical but that's their right. I think most of us understand that HFW is a great game & that 90% of the people playing it know what they're getting with it & are loving it. I know I am.

Re: Cyberpunk 2077 PS5 Version Likely Launching Tomorrow

GalacticBreakdown

I'm really looking forward to this and even more to the Witcher 3 PS5 version. Especially after finishing the second season of the show, I'm dying for another playthrough after already putting 200 hours into the base game & the expansions. Blade Runner, Heavy Metal, Strange Days, Ghost in The Shell, Akira are some of my favorite movies & Jean "Moebius" Giraud is my favorite artist..... so I'm dying to like Cyberpunk, it feels like one of the closest & most realized games of that genre.... so I'm praying for this to be great.

Re: Poll: Did You Buy Dying Light 2: Stay Human for PS5, PS4?

GalacticBreakdown

And there's a difference between me "joining in" and me commenting on things when I feel it's warranted. Several people came to your defense about your comments being racist and all the stuff you said after was just combative & trying to bait them into an argument/get a response, especially the apology comment. So that was why I felt the need to call out the irony of you saying "I can't pander to everyone's sensitivities." I'm sorry the response you received, wasn't the one you were looking to get.

Re: Poll: Did You Buy Dying Light 2: Stay Human for PS5, PS4?

GalacticBreakdown

@Loftimus it's really hard for me to take your comment about "I can't go pandering to everyone's sensitivities" seriously when you then say things like "who do you think you are?" & "no apology or nothing?" It's just weird to imply they're being sensitive but then exhibit similar sensitivity. But you seem to make a lot of weird comments and that's okay I guess.

Listen, I spoke up and I think most regular people here realized it was reaching to say your comments were racist. I think your comment was also reaching but regardless, you're entitled to your opinion. But my point is, your comment wasn't racist & there's no need to really go on the defensive because it was pretty clear to most that it wasn't racial in nature. Your whole defensive stance was more of you being butt hurt & offended & being, I dare say, sensitive. Even when the guy conceded & was cordial, you once again had to follow it up with some potshots. So while not being racist, you seem just as sensitive as those who've offended you.... just something to think about.

Re: Poll: Did You Buy Dying Light 2: Stay Human for PS5, PS4?

GalacticBreakdown

@WallyWest your take on his comment is reaching just as far as the guy's take about Polish developers. His is because there are Polish devs like Bloober Team who put out great games that are exactly what they say they are. Your comment is because his issue/problem with them isn't specifically that they are Polish but because of false promises he feels those devs have made.

Re: Test Your PlayStation General Knowledge - Issue 2

GalacticBreakdown

I only got 7, kinda upset I got the Spyro question off by a year. I could have swore it came out in 97. This test was a little weird though as many questions were just about random games that are multi-platform so it wasn't really about specifically PlayStation stuff, just a lot of random stuff. That's okay though, these are fun.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 410

GalacticBreakdown

Finally playing through the remainder of Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition on PS5 through backward compat. The 60 FPS and the HDR on my new TV really make it almost a new experience, loving it. Just took out the Deathbringer, which I was stuck on when I originally put it down. I'm glad I came back to it in time for Forbidden West, can't wait for it!

Besides that, one of my roommates & I played some matches in Guilty Gear Strive & holy guacamole is that game beautiful & fun. My favorite fighter probably ever.

Might try to play a little Spider-Man Remastered & finish Iki Island in GoT Director's Cut.

Re: Sony Stock Value Loses $20 Billion, But Will Likely Recover

GalacticBreakdown

@nookie_egg Lol you realize that Disney technically owns Spider-Man and all those characters right? They'd be buying Sony just for the movie/television rights back. They licensed both Spider-Man & Wolverine out for those games to Sony.... it's why they've made sure to include "Marvel's" in front of all recent games.

Re: We're Sure Everyone Will Be Calm About SEGA NFT Trademark

GalacticBreakdown

@RevGaming by trying to bait him, you're asking him obviously insulting things "does it make you feel good..." which is pretty much you implying a flaw in his character by being interested in such things.

That's not you stating your thoughts or giving an opinion on NFTs, it's you directly asking him about his motivations while framing it negatively.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 409

GalacticBreakdown

I tend to switch between games a lot on the PS5 I recently got just to check out the experiences, that being said...

I'm about to finish up RE: Village, I'm at the Factory now. I got through the story of GoT and now have the Iki Island expansion. Then, continuing my playthrough of Spider-Man Remastered and looking to start Demon's Souls proper. I also want to playthrough Horizon before Forbidden West hits but last I played I was stuck at a particularly hard boss and just stopped, kinda scared to return lol. It's a three day weekend from work for me, so should get some good time in!

Re: Looks Like Apex Legends' PS5 Version Will Release Soon

GalacticBreakdown

@Rural-Bandit I like the Dual Sense more the the Dualshock but for PS4 I bought the Nacon Revolution Pro Controller that had offset sticks like Xbox controllers and it was SOOOOOOO much better. Xbox and the Switch Pro controller are so much more comfortable. The second that a PS5 controller that's decent is released with offset sticks, I'm buying it. All the ones released right now are cheap dollar store knock offs.

Re: Hands On: God of War PC Is a Great Way to Play a PS4 Classic

GalacticBreakdown

@Jaz007 I highly doubt they're rushing to get a PS5 at all as there is only like, 3 or 4 PS5 exclusives at the time of this writing. Rift Apart, Demon's Souls, Returnal, and Deathloop are the only I can't think of and you can guarantee those will hit PC because those cost a ton of money to create & Sony isn't making much from them because they're all kinda niche games on a console they aren't able to produce many of

Re: Hands On: God of War PC Is a Great Way to Play a PS4 Classic

GalacticBreakdown

@Col_McCafferty dude, grow up & do away with this tribalism nonsense. It doesn't matter what system you own or where you play your games at, we are ALL a community. Smh I'm not even going to ask your age but these games are either old, have already sold what they are going to sell at retail, or are going to be PS5 exclusive niche games. Niche games that are exclusive to a console most people can't buy & Sony can barely keep up production on.... so Sony figures who cares if Returnal goes to PC? No one bought a PS5 for Returnal and I imagine not even a large fraction of current PS5 owners actually bought it. So does it really effect anything if it gets ported to PC? If Sony wants to go sell another million or two copies of an old or a niche PS5 game for full retail price, it's not the end of the PlayStation or console gaming. Console gaming will always be the prevalent gaming method with casuals and believe it or not, casuals make up a huge if not the majority of console owners. It's why sports games & COD & GTA are forever the top sellers and are usually primarily played on console. PS exclusive games from a few years ago that already sold 10 million copies going to PC will never change that. Get some perspective and common sense

Re: Battlefield 2042's Community Is So Irate Its Subreddit May Be Closed

GalacticBreakdown

@Flaming_Kaiser it's the "wild west" because people keep doing it. It's kinda hard to blame companies for putting out bad products when people keep buying them without learning about them beforehand. It's very easy to read reviews and don't pre order games before you know they aren't busted. It's pretty easy to do, I do it. But if you don't do that then you can't really complain and have it be valid if you keep buying things without having any caution. Those companies have no obligation to put out a good product if people keep spending money on poor & half finished products. They don't care if it's good or finished, they care about sales.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 408

GalacticBreakdown

May continue some in GoT Director's Cut & Spider-Man Remastered, I'm liking that the game is going much quicker since I've already beat it on PS4... I'm racking up XP & skills like crazy.

Besides that, I bought Demon's Souls, Alan Wake, & FIST in the sale so I'm really looking forward to playing Alan Wake & Control back to back.

Demon's Souls is my first Souls games so wish me luck!

Re: Battlefield 2042's Community Is So Irate Its Subreddit May Be Closed

GalacticBreakdown

@Flaming_Kaiser the only thing you, as a consumer can do is stop pre-ordering games and make informed choices on what you purchase. Not giving these developers your money is way more effective than going on message board tantrums. That's how you get them to listen. Make informed & intelligent decisions with your purchasing, that's really the best thing you can do.

Re: PS5's New PSVR Headset Officially Named PlayStation VR2, Full Specs Revealed

GalacticBreakdown

I've had a hard time getting into VR for some reason. And I've tried VERY hard to get into it. I own an Oculus Quest 2 that I bought to try Resident Evil 4 & GTA San Andreas when it launches and I also had PSVR I bought secondhand, which had some really fun games like Resident Evil 7, Batman Arkham VR, Skyrim, Trover Saves The Universe, Accounting+, Blood & Truth, Iron Man, and of course Astro Bot. But I have a super hard time just keeping the headset on for longer than an hour or so, I'll start sweating, I'll get uncomfortable, and it just takes a lot to get me to play it. PSVR was really a chore to set up but there were games I REALLY wanted to play....RE7 was full stop incredible & terrifying the first time I played it....ive not had a better VR experience since. My Oculus stays in the case most days and I think the big reason is, there's no "Killer App" for it besides RE4, I'll definitely play GTA but besides that Half Life Alyx is really the only VR game I really want to play & I'd have to get my friend to let me link up to his gaming laptop & stuff just to let me play it, which I haven't tried to ask him to do yet. PSVR2 I think has much better possibilities for software than the Oculus does but price & availability will obviously be big factors, ease of use....but I'm definitely open to the idea of getting one, knowing they'll have some great software for it.

Re: PS Plus' Deep Rock Galactic Has So Much Day One PS5, PS4 DLC

GalacticBreakdown

@ATaco ok I wasn't really trying to refute your opinions or have a debate about gatekeeping cosmetics or whatever. I was really trying to explain why I think you're overreacting & being a bit over the top. Your opinion on cosmetics being sold as optional DLC is really the only thing that correlates to this game & really that's not even about this game, it's you just crapping on something over a preconceived notion you already have, which I find to be a bit silly & petty. But ok. Be mad all you want over costumes. This isn't a game you purposely went and bought...it's about a game that you're literally getting for like a dollar. Just.... nevermind. Sorry you can't just enjoy a good game when you get one for almost nothing.

And you did say they were "a worthless thing anyone could buy." So... please don't act like I put those words in your mouth or projected that onto what you said.

Re: PS Plus' Deep Rock Galactic Has So Much Day One PS5, PS4 DLC

GalacticBreakdown

@ATaco Are you really that bothered about the value & the accessibility of costumes for your video game character? Just.... it boggles my mind you're bothered that someone can pay for an imaginary costume and how your deem them worthless yet your whole speech is about you being upset that it doesn't come already bundled in the game. You're upset that this game, that you're getting for pennies, doesn't come with some worthless cosmetic.... that's worthless because it's accessible to "just anyone." Really it seems like a long winded justification to what boils down to "I want to complain because I can."

Gah.... it was an ordeal just writing that out & trying to comprehend your complaints through the filter of my own reason, logic, & maturity.

Re: PS Plus' Deep Rock Galactic Has So Much Day One PS5, PS4 DLC

GalacticBreakdown

@Milktastrophe no one forgot that we have to pay for electricity sigh. We are just reasonable adults & attempt to have a level of maturity when we react to things like video game cosmetics for games that we are getting for peanuts. As adults, we understand it's really not that big of a deal & really probably not worth the time & effort it would take to complain about something so petty & miniscule. Because it's really just a video game that you shoot guns and stuff in.... if I don't get some stupid outfit to wear on my video game character, that's ok, I realize the people who made the game need to feed their families & have an income too, that they need to pay for their electricity too. If selling some in-game items is a way for them to do that, that's okay, I don't have to buy them.... it won't effect me or my enjoyment of the actual game. Get some perspective & maturity complain about something that isn't so petty & irrelevant.

About games I'm getting on a service that AT MOST costs $5 USD per month.... that I got on one of the MANY 50% off sales, so I'm paying $2.50 USD per month for.... the price of a can of pop, of a candy bar, of a McDouble...

Re: Best PS5 SSD 2022: Boost Your PS5 Storage Capacity

GalacticBreakdown

So I bought the Adata Gammix S70 Blade off Amazon for $129.99 which is by far the cheapest I've seen these with a heatsink included. Installing it was a breeze & I've never really done anything like this before. The PS5 recognized it immediately and transferring any game onto it took 60 seconds or less. One thing to mention is it advertises read speeds of up to 7400mbs but the PS5 test was 6500, so there's that. Other than that, I've had it for almost two weeks & it runs games just as fast as the PS5. No complaints from me so far! Very happy with the simple installation & the wide array of options. Couldn't be happier.

Re: Game of the Year: #3 - Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart

GalacticBreakdown

Playing through this right now on my new PS5 I bought on Christmas Eve. This was one of the first purchases I made and my first R&C game.... and so far, it's my favorite PS5 exclusive & the best looking game I've played.... probably ever.

The very early level that's a futuristic, cyberpunk-style level with the flying cars & such.... I've spent so much time just staring at the details in the environment. The skies are just chock full of traffic & there is so much going on, it's truly like nothing else I've ever seen in gaming. It's the one game that I really couldn't ever imagine running on last gen, it's something that really has shown me what is possible this gen.

It's a really easy game & nothing groundbreaking, it may be "short" but it's the one game that has consistently blown me away & made me excited about the future of the hardware. It's the game I will show my friends what the PS5 is capable of.

Re: Game of the Year: Jamie's Top 5 PS5, PS4 Games of 2021

GalacticBreakdown

To the people saying that they are worried about buying a Ratchet & Clank game because it's only 20 hours or whatever..... I had no problem paying $50 for it. Because for me, it's quality over quantity. Same with Metroid Dread. I'll happily pay for a shorter game if the quality of the hours spent in it are so high. But if you'd rather play something that's longer but a little watered down, then I understand.

Re: Game of the Year: #5 - Psychonauts 2

GalacticBreakdown

It's been sitting in the backlog since it went on sale during the Black Friday PSN sale. I plan on starting it after I finish Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart & Astro's Playroom. Though kinda weird it's PS4 only game but it still looks pretty great graphically. The art direction & aesthetic is top notch....it really should've won for that at the Game Awards.

Re: Game of the Year: Best PS5, PS4 Remake, Remaster, or Re-Release of 2021

GalacticBreakdown

If you think a PS5 upgrade is just a "60 FPS" patch, I feel like you've not played them. GoT is a new experience after I switched my save file over to PS5 last night, it's not a different game but it's a different experience. The haptic & adaptive trigger implementation of the dual sense, the 3D audio, the 60 FPS, the cut scenes being real time, the reflections & shadows, the lack of loading screens, it's just.... It's very different, as someone who just began playing it on PS5 after playing up until Act Three on PS4 Pro. It's not just a 60FPS patch, if you just want a 60FPS patch then you can play the PS4 version on PS5. It's a true PS5 game now.
