Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 358

After being completely uninterested after the leaks I'm now around 20 hours into The Last of Us 2 and I can say I was completely wrong and wish I would have played it sooner. While I still don't agree with every story decision the overall presentation is right up there with the best of the best. Ghost of Tsushima was my favorite game of 2020 but I'm thinking by the end of this first playthrough that may change

Re: Soapbox: Rainbow Six: Siege Is My Favorite Shooter of All Time and I Hate It

I've never understand the enjoyment of cheating. It really seems pointless to go out if your way to trick people into thinking you're better at something. Is clout really that important to people? I pretty much play offline single player but have recently started playing Rocket league and it is great. The only issue I see is people love to quit the match as soon as their team starts losing. I don't see the point in doing that. Seems like very poor sportsmanship. Stick it out and learn from your mistakes and get better. And most importantly have fun. With all the craziness in our world having fun should be number 1 on the list

Re: Game of the Year: Video Liam's Top 5 PS5, PS4 Games of 2020

Absolutely agree Ghost of Tsushima is incredible. Was definitely not expecting it to be my favorite game of 2020 before starting it. That opening scene sets up an amazing story. I also think they did right with the characters and side quests. I never once felt like I was wasting my time which is usually my biggest gripe.

Have been stuck in quarantine for the last week with just my Switch and I've been hooked on Paper Mario The Origami King. Had no idea I would enjoy this so much. Also finishing up Link's Awakening. Finally be able to get back to the living room where the other systems are I'll be picking back up with Cyberpunk, Yakuza Like a Dragon and Valhalla once again

Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Aiming to Be a 'Playable, Stable Game without Glitches and Crashes'

While I really haven't had any issues to speak of on PS4 Pro it is bad for those who have and continue to have issues. This might be my most anticipated game ever simply based on how much I love Witcher 3 but even I can see this ain't what we were promised. I have no doubt that they will fix the majority of these bugs. I recall playing Witcher 3 on a base PS4 on launch day and had several issues. With all that Witcher money though you'd think they could have done a better job at managing not only the game but the fans expectations. Only showing us high end footage of this didn't help at all

Re: Sony Processing Cyberpunk 2077 Refunds for PS5, PS4 Players

Grumps859

Have been very fortunate myself about 6 hours in and absolutely loving it. PS4 Pro with only a few weird graphical issues. Hopefully it gets sorted out for those wanting to play and are unable to. Just gonna go ahead and say it that when Johnny Silverhand makes his entrance oh man it's incredible.

Re: Cyberpunk 2077 (PS4) - The Potential of a Masterpiece, Totally and Utterly Unrealised

I don't think this would have lived up to the amount of hype no matter if it was mostly bug free. It was never going to look as good as some of the previews had shown especially on console. I tried my best to keep my expectations in check but that's hard to do no doubt. I'm playing on PS4 Pro and really haven't had any major issues aside from a few graphical issues and some pop in. About 6 hours in and absolutely loving it so far. I do hope they can get these issues sorted out so everyone can enjoy it.

Re: Poll: Are You Buying Cyberpunk 2077?

Grumps859

Had no clue who CDPR was until Witcher 3 came out and that has become my favorite game ever slightly ahead of A Link to The Past and Final Fantasy 6. Probably the most hyped I've ever been for a game. I'm sure there's going to be bugs and if it's handled like they did Witcher 3 it'll get sorted out. That 101 GB download is sitting there ready for tomorrow at Midnight. PS4 Pro will be sounding like a jet engine guaranteed. Happy gaming to all no matter what you'll be playing

Re: Next Mass Effect Game in Early Development

Grumps859

I played the original trilogy for the first time right before Andromeda was set to release and it is one of my fondest gaming memories ever(late 30s here). So the hype for Andromeda was through the roof. The first 10 or so hours I was like this is fine it's gonna get better soon except it never did. If anything it got worse.

Having recently become interested in strategy games I started playing The Banner Saga last night and have not wanted to put it down. It's been such a wonderful experience. The story and characters are so well done. Bought the trilogy a while back so after this last chapter wraps up it's on to part 2. Nothing else on the radar until Valhalla then that should keep me busy until Cyberpunk

Re: The Last of Us 2 Delayed Again Due to Coronavirus Epidemic

Grumps859

I'm perfectly fine with the delay especially considering the circumstances. I don't think they want to do a digital only release that would really hurt the stores that sell physical copies. Shipping something this anticipated and doing a worldwide release may be about impossible in the coming weeks. Plenty of amazing games out there to play still. Cheers everyone stay safe

Re: Poll: Does PS5's Teraflop Disadvantage Matter to You?

Grumps859

I have an Xbox One X which is more powerful than my PS4 Pro and I still much prefer PlayStation. It's about the games for me and I find Sonys first party games superior by a long shot. Also I much prefer the Dualshock 4 over the Xbox controller. To each their own though and I'm glad we have choices because as gamers we all win

More Nioh 2 getting better at not getting killed as much lol l. Really need to finish up several games that are close to completion but I probably won't. Jedi Fallen Order, Tales of Berseria, Dragon Quest 11 just to name a few. RE3 and FF7 are so close and no word on if Best Buy are delaying those deliveries so I'm hoping not
