Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 574

I'm slowly working my way through Sand Land. I really like the characters and story, but the gameplay can be a little dull, but still decent fun. Will make a great PS plus title one day.
I also picked up a new copy of Sea Of Stars for $5 during the week, which has been on the list for a while. I might give that a crack too.
Enjoy your weekend!

I'll been playing Death Stranding DC over the last week (started the day before D2 got a release date actually!). Happy to say it's finally got its hooks in me after 2 failed attempts in the past, I'm really into it now. Sam Bridges and his rowdy crew of useless Megaman boss characters (Deadman, Die-Hardman, Soft Serve Ice-Cream Man, etc) are reconnecting the country, despite the fact that Sam is doing pretty much everything! (I feel for the guy haha)
Once it clicks though, its really cool.
I love working with other players to build freeways, sharing vehicles, safehouses, etc. That part is fantastic, saved my butt quite a few times.

Re: PS5 and Astro Bot the Perfect Match in New Console Bundle

Ichiban

Yeah I've noticed the small price drop on the target website in Australia with this bundle. It's $719 for the disc console Astro bundle, down from the usual $799 for just the console itself. A nice $80 saving, which is welcome. Even better would be if this were a permanent price drop though, hopefully so.

Re: Xbox's Fable, Expected on PS5, Has Been Delayed to 2026

Ichiban

Expected perhaps, but at this point it hasn't even been announced or confirmed for PS5. Maybe we should take it easy with this, should we expect an article everytime a game unannounced for PS5 gets a delay? How about we let them announce the thing first?
Jumping the gun a little bit I think....

Re: Hands On: Monster Hunter Wilds Performance Certainly Isn't Perfect on PS5, PS5 Pro

Console gamers shouldn't have to choose in my old opinion. Have the game running in it's best possible state for each system, leave the graphs and charts to the PC gamer crowd.
If you want choice, the best frame rates, etc build a PC. If you want to plug and play (to an extent), get a console. All this nonsense has turned console gamers into frame rate & resolution snobs, it's exhausting.
Capcom still own this generation though.

Re: Round Up: What Was Announced During Sony's State of Play Livestream for February 2025?

Ichiban

Please stop referring to anyone who doesn't immediately praise these shows as haters, trolls, etc. They are passionate playstation fans, just like you & me. They have opinions and are entitled to them, and to share these opinions, just as you do. They are not the problem as some would put it, there is no problem.
It's just a condescending attitude to have towards others & I'm tired of it.
Thank you!

Re: Poll: What Did You Think of Sony's State of Play for February 2025?

Ichiban

I'm looking forward to Sonic Racing, looks fun, as I'm sure MH, MGS, Yakuza Pirates & Onimusha will be too.
I did like the look of that Octopus game too. Playstation studios need to pull their finger out though, a Days Gone remaster? C'mon guys.
People are allowed to have opinions, be disappointed in things. If you have a problem with that just keep scrolling and don't take it to heart. We're all different after all.

Re: PlayStation Users Miffed with Sony's Lack of PSN Outage Transparency

Ichiban

Why should they say anything? They know they've got you wrapped around their finger, despite any heated comments on social media.
Perhaps if they had some actual competition to keep them in line they would step up, but sadly Xbox has kumbaya'd themselves into the beige paint you see today. So yeah, I wouldn't expect jack ***** from Sony now, or ever really.
