Re: Talking Point: Would You Buy a PS1, PS2, or PS3 Emulator for PS5?

GamingVeteran

@Carl-G Well to be fair when PS3 did full backward compatibly nobody gave a dam. So they removed it. Now all of a sudden everyone claim they want it or emulators, when in reality they won't use it either. There is only a small small group of people who actually play older games, and those people already know where to get them free of charge.

Re: Dying Light 2 Developer Admits Game Was Announced Too Early

GamingVeteran

@Arugula There lies the issue, gamers today don't want to hear that development is going smoothly. They want the game made and released now, they have no patience whatsoever and have this weird belief that they are the ones making the game. I personally don't care when a game gets announced, don't care about updates on the development, don't care what the release dates are. I will play it when it comes out.

Re: Hands On: Incredibly Rough Outriders Demo Kills Our Hope for This Looter Shooter's Launch

GamingVeteran

@80sGamer You say "generic rubbish such as outriders" ok we get it, you don't like the game and that's fine. But the game you first mention, Destiny, is one of the most generic. Just remember, Borderlands did everything and more then Destiny did 5 years earlier.
Games need variation period. Whether it has sloppy controls, uncompelling story, ugly visuals you name it. I'm starting to really doubt your username, most older gamers understand that concept.

Re: Hands On: Incredibly Rough Outriders Demo Kills Our Hope for This Looter Shooter's Launch

@80sGamer Any shooter with loot is Destinys competition, Division, Borderlands, hell even Warframe. And quite honestly Destiny has a pretty weak story and repetitive missions too.

@SpicyTacos101 Why does everyone want games to be exactly the same as other games?. Those other games you mentioned have the exact same Rinse & repeat missions. All of them.

Nothing will ever be good enough for todays entitled gamers, its pretty sad. It use to be so much better when there was no console demo's, no videos, no youtubers influencing, and no "game journalists" bashing everything. Just a few magazines with 1 or two screenshots, not knowing when a game releases.

Re: God of War Ragnarok Will Release 'When It's Done' on PS5

GamingVeteran

@Westernwolf4 No he is posting it towards entitled gamers out there who think they deserve something. Sony has nothing to do with it. Just like all this State of Play talk, I mean just be quiet and watch what they want to show you. These companies don't have to show you anything or give updates, and when they do gamers still complain.

Re: Worry No Longer, Kena: Bridge of Spirits Is a $40 Game

GamingVeteran

That price is very concerning, indie game or not it must be a very short game. And if it is only a 10 hour game, then they missed a great opportunity with a great looking new IP. It seems like it won't be worth purchasing, and that it will end up a PS Plus title sooner then later.

Re: This Is Why PS5 Controllers Drift

GamingVeteran

It's not a secret, if you have drift on your analog sticks, you are the reason why. Stop putting so much of your in game rage pressure down on your analog sticks. And for those people saying, I've had controllers from so and so era not drift and so on. Maybe it's because you were a small weaker child before, now your a grown person.

Re: Random: Ariana Grande's Been Playing Sackboy: A Big Adventure at 2AM

GamingVeteran

I will never understand the mindset of people who need validity from celebrities or influencers to make their own decisions. Arianna is a product, being used to sell products, to generate money for their brands. Nothing more. Every post made or interview done by a celebrity is to generate social media points, all they care about is good PR.

Re: January 2021 NPD: PS5 Breaks Decade Old Dollar Sales Record

GamingVeteran

@Shadow_Beast You cant really judge any of those games by those numbers, especially when it doesn't show digital sales. And the fact there are lockdowns all over the place, making it hard to purchase in stores. I mean Ghost might have only sold like 200 copies for all we know. And that would not be good.

Re: Feature: Could PlayStation Do More to Promote Green Packaging?

GamingVeteran

So now its video game cases that are a main cause that needs to change...I'm so tired of the "green" people. Fact is, if they got rid of all game cases today or even 10 years ago, it wouldn't change even a fraction of a percent of the what is happening in those places. It's not our fault other countries don't actually recycle their recyclable products. Instead they dump it all in rivers and oceans.

Re: This Is Why PS5, PS4 Microtransactions Won't Be Going Away

GamingVeteran

Seems a lot of people don't understand what microtransactions are, DLC's/expansions are not microtransactions those are there own category. Microtransactions are smaller in-game items purchased from some kind of in-game store (skins, weapons, xp boosts, RNG casino chests ext.) using purchasable in-game currency (which is the microtransaction currency). I personally think that microtransactions should be no higher then like $2, hence the "micro" part of it, but one can only dream.

It is also not up to Sony whether or not its going away, that is the game developers choice. They are they ones who put microtransactions into the games.

Re: Game of the Year: Push Square Readers' Top 10 PS5, PS4 Games of 2020

GamingVeteran

I still don't understand how people think Ghost of Tsushima is this great innovative game. Its one the most generic open world action rpg's there is. I mean the past 2 or 3 Assassins' Creed games are near identical and have been better then Ghost from my view. I found Ghost to be pretty boring, like the devs were trying to be to artsy and and they lost the point.

Re: Ghost of Tsushima and The Last of Us 2 Battle for Player's Voice Win at The Game Awards

GamingVeteran

@Nepp67 I will say whatever I want, if you don't like it its not my problem. And no I don't love TLOU2 either, It's just way better then GoT in almost every way. Why don't you actually make counter arguments instead of acting all high and mighty. It's because you can't. GoT is a generic open world game, the Assassins' Creed games have been doing exactly the same thing for like a decade. "It's pretty obvious you love TLOU2 and can't stand that others don't like a game you like" maybe you should take your own advice kid.

Re: Ghost of Tsushima and The Last of Us 2 Battle for Player's Voice Win at The Game Awards

GamingVeteran

@Nepp67 Wow great reply, very informative... Did you notice that when I made my reply I gave examples. If you don't like what I said then tell me what game is more overrated?, because I haven't seen one. What I said still stands, Ghost was over hyped by game journalists, and by haters looking for something to praise instead of TLOU2, and in the end the game was very mediocre. Unlike most people, I don't fall for the herd mentality.

Re: Ghost of Tsushima and The Last of Us 2 Battle for Player's Voice Win at The Game Awards

GamingVeteran

Ghost of Tsushima is the most overrated game in history. It brings nothing new or revolutionary, It's pretty much a copy paste of other open world games mashed into it. I mean if you compare it to RedDead 2 its kind of laughable. RDR2 had a far superior story, it had better visuals nearly across the board, and much more meaningful characters. And no, the combat in Ghosts is NOT great, It's mediocre.

Re: Soapbox: Having My PS5 Launch Day Nerfed By Amazon

GamingVeteran

@Kienda Ok pal, I'm sure your friend did that. Did he also have a PS5 and Xbox stolen from him by Amazon drivers too... The hearsay aside, Sony didn't announce online only until after launch, before launch retailers decided what to do. I made my preorder in store, picked it up launch day in store. Bottom line is if this did in fact happen to someone, and if they got a refund, STOP COMPLAINING PERIOD. You lost nothing. People need to grow up and realize a game console isn't a necessity of life.
