Re: Is It Worth Buying a PS4 in 2021?

GigaGaia

No, the PS5 is superior in every way except for the UI which is lacking for now (but that will be fixed with some updates). It plays all PS4 games better and it loads so much faster it's not even funny.

Re: Ubisoft Shoves XP Boosting Microtransaction into Assassin's Creed Valhalla a Month After Launch

@Hyperluminal Except the game doesn't have grind that is artifically high like you say. The game is pretty easy and the story give you more than enough XP to level up enough without having to do any grind whatsoever. It's even easier if you do some side stuff like mysteries along the way since they also give skill points.

You could argue that was the case for Odyssey because the story quests were gated behind high level requirements, but that's only if you tried to do only the story. If you were, you weren't playing the game properly since they wanted you to explore and get more XP that way.

This game wasn't designed with the XP boost in mind at all. It's just the excuse you people use to bash any game with microtransactions. If you really have trouble keeping up with the difficulty in this game, it's not because it requires you to grind or it's hard, it's actually because you suck and you need to git gud like people say.

I am power level 377, finished the story and killed all the members of the order and I am just a few minutes under 40 hours playtime. That's without any XP booster (it wasn't even out at that time) so when you say it's grindy on purpose, you're definitely lying.

There is areas with enemies that are power level 350, but I was killing them pretty easily when I was 100 levels or more below. If you constantly upgrade equipment and get abilities, those numbers really don't mean anything.

Re: PS5 Is UK's Best-Selling Console in November 2020

GigaGaia

I am almost certain that the PS5 will win NPD in North America by a huge margin. Switch might win december and January, but as soon as the PS5 stock situation isn't going to be an issue, the PS5 will win every months and the Switch will become permanent second place.

Meanwhile Xbox will be third place 95% of the time with a second place once in a blue moon.

Re: Bethesda Games Are Looking Increasingly Unlikely on PS5

It's not like Phil Spencer is a pathological liar who can't seem to shut up. Oh wait, that's exactly what he is. I am sorry, there is simply no way the least selling platform can make those 7.5 billions back with those games even if you include PC. Sony or Nintendo could, but Xbox is just too small of a brand to manage to do so. They will end up third place again and Sony will outsell them at least 2:1.

Beside, it's not like Phil would admit it anyway, it would make him look stupid if he did (well he already does look stupid, but it's another matter entirely).

Re: Reaction: PS5 Price Under Scrutiny After Disruptive Xbox Series S Reveal

GigaGaia

Microsoft blinked first, now the PS5 digital edition will definitely be $299. They can afford to lower it that much because they will make a lot more money on games this time around.

That's not without counting money made from accessories and subs, along with the money they will still make from PS4.

If the XSX is $499, it means the PS5 will be $399 or $449.

Sony can afford to lower their prices, they're the market leader.

Re: Talking Point: Could PS5 Be Delayed?

GigaGaia

@I_Like_It It won't clear out in a heartbeat, just like every console launch, you will have a few hours. Of course, that's normally, Sony are making a lot more this time around, so you definitely have a few hours to get one.
