Re: Official Ghost of Yotei Popcorn Bucket Triggers Tedious Takes on PS5 Exclusives

Gamer83

If it wasn't for the gameplay, particularly the melee combat, there's a good chance The Last of Us Part II would be my least favorite PS4 game, I hated the main story and the way most characters were portrayed that much. The complete opposite of the first game which I thought had passable gameplay at best but a very good story. People can whine about Sony's exclusives being 'story' games, 'interactive movies' or whatever, all they want, at the end of the day there's still a place for these just like there's a place for extremely boring turn-based RPGs.

Re: 10 New PS Plus Extra, Premium Games Announced for July 2025

Gamer83

I have Cyberpunk on Switch 2 so won't be getting this version but it's still nice to see it on PS Plus, definitely recommend it to any subscriber who had been on the fence. Eventhough they're not the best Twisted Metal games, I am going to revisit 3 and 4 as they were decent enough. Also hyped that the show is returning soon.

Re: Reaction: Helldivers 2 on Xbox Signals Another Unexpected But Not Overly Surprising Shift in Strategy from Sony

@DennisReynolds
I had the same initial thought. Sony no longer views Xbox as a serious competitor much in the same way it views Nintendo as a family friendly, portable gaming company and not a threat in the high-end gaming sector. I expect to see more PS games on Nintendo and Xbox, possibly even the single player ones. Maybe not on the initial launch day but a year or two down the line can't be ruled out now.

Re: There's a Brutal Lack of Interest in Marathon from Hardcore PS5 Fans

@nomither6
I was just saying what would make me more interested. Didn't say it had to be added. And, for what it's worth, I've never had a problem with single player games having a multiplayer component. At times I've encouraged it, even if it's not a mode I'd use often. Many of my favorite games of all time had both.

Re: There's a Brutal Lack of Interest in Marathon from Hardcore PS5 Fans

I'd be interested if it had a single player campaign that seemed to be great but unfortunately that's not the case. Main reason I keep gaming on PS consoles, aside from big time third party support, is Sony's single player IP like Horizon, God of War, anything Naughty or Insomniac make, etc. Ghost of Yotei will have that covered this year, it's just a shame to not see something with a cool universe like Marathon get the same treatment. Could still be multiplayer focused just give people who don't want that something also and it's a potential hit.

Re: Final Fantasy 16 May Have Underperformed on PS5, But It's Doing Terribly on Xbox

Gamer83

I think people are still sore about the exclusivity thing but it was never going to sell great on Xbox even if I think it's the right call to go multiplat. Main problem is people don't seem to enjoy Final Fantasy like they used to, even on PlayStation. I played XVI and like it a lot, my favorite Final Fantasy after Crisis Core but I never cared for traditional FF gameplay so XVI was made for people like me. I can see why longtime fans hated it.

Re: Gears of War: Reloaded Remasters the Original Game This August, Confirmed for PS5

After seeing Sonic the Hedgehog games show up on Nintendo hardware, nothing shocks me anymore in this industry. Time moves on, things change and with Xbox getting less and less popular after the 7th gen, not really surprised. For the younger crowd, though, many who might have chose a 360 and Gears of War 1 over PS3 back in 2006, I'm sure this is a bit of a shock to the system. It's pretty much official now. Once Halo makes the move to PS, Microsoft should just give up on hardware. It is disappointing, however, even if I prefer PlayStation and Nintendo, I was a big fan of Xbox during its first two gens.

Re: Poll: Are You Disappointed by the GTA 6 Delay?

Gamer83

No, I'm not disappointed. Been expecting this news for a while and there's enough coming out this year anyway with the MGS 3 remaster, Silent Hill f, a bunch of great looking indie stuff and the Switch 2 launch. I'm looking forward to GTA 6, but it will be ready when it's ready.

Re: Days Gone's Review Scores Have Been Rising Over Time, with PS5 Version Coming Highly Recommended

Gamer83

I'll admit I didn't love the idea of Days Gone given how similar it was in theme to other post apocalyptic games but I did enjoy what I played, even if I would've rather Bend made a new Syphon Filter. Still doesn't explain it getting better reviews, that might change as more roll in. Even the best games of all-time see a bit of drop off when remastered. Metroid Prime 1 was a 97 at the time, the remaster, which made the game even better, averaged 94.

Re: Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves Reveals Ridiculous E-Sports Prize Pot as PS5, PS4 Fighter Gets Off to a Slow Start

Gamer83

It's an awesome game but was always going to be niche. And the two real-life guest characters being put in wasn't needed. Not that I think leaving them out would've made much of a difference sales wise, it's just out of place. Would've been better to have Ken and Chun-Li in there from the get go if you SNK wanted to go the guest route.

Love the game itself, though, it's challenging Street Fighter 6 as my favorite fighting game of the gen.
