Geez I'd love to see you guys would react to some legitimate classic games. I think your heads would explode lol A fun game for sure, not a classic though.
@theMEGAniggle Hey thanks for such a great, through response. You may have changed my mind a little bit actually, I might have to give Spiderman another playthrough. Have a great weekend!
@theMEGAniggle Some good stuff in there for sure, RDR2 in particular really got me I have to admit. Though I'm a bit confused regarding your praise for the story in Insomniac's Spiderman. It was pretty ordinary, and seeing as we're comparing, the latest Spiderman movie (No Way Home) absolutely destroys it a million times over.
I believe games and movies should be kept separate. Once you inject a game's story into a movie, it shows how terrible, or average (at best) the writing really is. With Ghost being no exception.
I'm still dipping in & out of 13 Sentinels, took a break recently to play through Stray & TMNT. But mostly I'm playing my Gamecube, Starfox Assault & Twilight Princess.
Soapbox: I have no doubt in my mind that Stray would've topped the charts with or without PS plus extra. There was bugger all competition, and people love cats.
In a perfect world we'd be getting an enhanced Gravity Rush collection for PS5 (leading up to a part 3) in September, while The Last Of Us sits on the sideline peeling oranges.
The real tragedy here is that Naughty Dog haven't released a new IP since the PS3 era. One of the biggest benefits of being a PS fan used to be the excitement of new IP each gen. Now they just seem kinda safe & boring, like Nintendo & MS.
I can understand why. Back in 1900's (nes, snes, etc) games came with manuals, often filled with some nice illustrations, and the box art was usually great. Nowadays you get no manual, a quarter of the game actually on the disc, and frankly atrocious box art with some goober just staring at you like an fool.
I do enjoy reading statistics like these. If you pat your belly while rubbing your head & squint really hard, the PS5 performed 1.8976% better than the PS6 a decade into the future from now. (But was still beaten in raw numbers by the Switch U Wii Wii)
I've been playing 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim, & enjoying it quite alot. The characters, writing, & voice acting are all top notch. The RTS battle sections are really fun too. I'm surprised at how much I'm getting in to this one actually. Have a nice weekend everyone!
Hopefully in the future Playstation announce their future titles a bit closer to the release date. The recent Last Of Us Part 1 reveal is a good example. I want this game out so we can move on & hear about whatever else Playstation have been working on (of course I'll play and enjoy it though)
How does this keep happening? It's every month now! Sony should just let these guys officially announce the plus games at this rate lol That said, Crash 4 is a great time. A tough bugger though!
I bought Nickelodeon All Stars on sale recently (yet to play it), but I think this is great, I'll definitely have other players online to battle with now!
Perhaps at the end of it they will announce a separate God Of War state of play for the near future, like a Marvel credits type thing? I feel like they've done something like that before. Keep the momentum going and all that jazz...
Small nitpick: why couldn't they just have named this Evil Dead? Do we really need 'The Game' tacked on the end? Do they think people will see this in a store and think "duh Evil Dead is a movie, so this must be a movie" (Despite having PS5 or whatever platform on the box, and being displayed with other games). Should the Uncharted movie be titled Uncharted: The Movie?
I'd love to see a company who actually gives a damn buy some of their great, but dormant IP's. Games like Road Rash, Syndicate, Burnout could thrive in the right hands.
That Lego Star Wars game is rubbish, was happy to trade my copy in this week. I couldn't even finish it, due to a progress halting bug. Best Lego game in years!
I just want new games. Don't really care for VR, couldn't give a toss about the new ps plus rubbish, anything else is just a big shoulder shrug from me. I want to see those fresh new titles Sony usually drops with a new gen. And no, these countless sequels don't really get my motor running. C'mon Sony, get out of this boring rut!
I might dive back into Elden Ring. I have been playing Lego Star Wars TSS these last few days, but I'm not liking it very much tbh. The gameplay isn't that much more satisfying than the old Lego games, they rush through the stories way too much, and it kinda runs like crap on the PS5. I'm kinda scratching my head at all the glowing reviews🤔 Ah well, have a good one everyone!
Dear god, just let it die already! Although, if they set the games worlds in the hideous live action Disney remakes to match the edgy graphics, it has the potential to be unintentionally hilarious! Still, count me out, I'm done with this series. (And I used to be right into this series, bought a DS, 3DS, and a PSP just to play the respective spin off games for each system) Better yet ditch Sora, Riku, the organisation, etc and make a game starring Donald & Goofy exploring various Disney worlds. I'd play that!
Not particularly big on remakes, especially in the current day where every second announced game is a remake. I'd prefer a sequel, or something entirely new. These days it just seems to be remake, or licensed properties announced (There's around 700 Star Wars games in development right now...zzzzz) It's boring, and just makes the industry look creatively bankrupt.
I'll be dipping in & out of Elden Ring, & some Tiny Tina. I've only played through the first mission of TT, but there were some horrible stuttering issues, with the game pausing for seconds at a time. Has anytime else experienced this on the PS5 version? Despite that, it seemed like mindless fun. Looking forward to trying out co-op.
Life is too short for modern Assassin's Creed games. Or Ubisoft games altogether, they're mostly rubbish these days. The only spark of hope is the new Mario & Rabbids game......Sparks Of Hope. After that they should sell Rayman to someone who gives a damn, bugger off, & learn to how make decent games again.

Re: Sony on Board with Subtitled, Japanese Language Ghost of Tsushima Movie
@Serialsid I mostly agree. For me, it was a fairly average story, elevated by excellent performances from the entire cast.

Re: Ubisoft Forward Showcase Set for 10th September, Featuring Assassin's Creed and More
The only interesting thing Ubisoft has in the future is the new Mario + Rabbids game. Assassin's Creed sucks now, as does Far Cry, Ghost Recon, etc

10 Star Wars games, 25 remakes, & 5 remasters. I do miss e3 though, nothing has captured the same buzz since it's been gone.

It's probably a Death Stranding remake, it's been long enough by today's standards.
