Re: Enjoy Pure PS1 Nostalgia with Lunar Remastered Collection's Story Trailer

ItsAlwaysSunnyyy

I've never played Lunar (or Suikoden, or Grandia) so all of the classics coming back is great for me. And it'll be interesting to see how they are - I have 0 nostalgia for them and don't even know the basics plots, but I also have 0 issues with classic JRPG mechanics.

Normally I'd say it's rare to experience a classic for the first time, but it's even rarer to have SIX games to check out. The only question is, which series do I start with?

Re: Bungie Will Reveal Its Next PS5 Game Marathon on 12th April

ItsAlwaysSunnyyy

I seriously worry that this game will be detrimental to Bungie as a company. I'm sure that unlike other Sony live service games this was 100% Bungie's idea and passion, but the toxic approach by Sony has probably poisoned the well. I'll revisit this comment if the game comes out, is well reviewed and reinvigorates the company, but outside of random comments on an enthusiast news page (this one!) I just don't see the mass appeal

Re: Legendary Trophy Hunting Game My Name Is Mayo Returns with New PS5 Remaster

ItsAlwaysSunnyyy

I don't care if games solely built for the purpose of platinums exist, but there needs to be a special filterable tag for them. I've had to resort to a third party price tracking site where I've been individually hiding them for years just to clearly see actual games that are on sale. And a lot of the time the smaller indie gems get caught up in that, because it's difficult to tell at surface level.

Re: Shadow of Mordor's Nemesis System Created to Combat the Used Games Market

ItsAlwaysSunnyyy

I think I'm on an island alone here but I put maybe 10 hours into Shadow of Mordor and did not like it at all. It felt so incredibly aimless and goalless... Maybe I was playing it wrong.

I'm very sad the studio closed, though. They had the balls to make a completely original game in the Lord of the Rings world without mentioning Lord of the Rings. And they were obviously talented.

Re: Capcom Celebrates Dragon's Dogma 2's 1st Anniversary, But There's Still No Sign of an Expansion

ItsAlwaysSunnyyy

I think it'll have one considering that Capcom was pretty open about it being very successful, I'm wondering if it's taking time because of MH yes but also because they're doing a rather large expansion. Maybe that's wishful thinking but given the success of Dark Arisen and the amount of time and money spent developing DD2 they'd be silly not to release an awesome expansion.

Re: Persona 4 PS5 Remake Hopes Higher Still as Domain Registration Is Noted

ItsAlwaysSunnyyy

I played Persona 3 Reload and it was all right, looked at the original on YouTube and it was extremely simple, just modern (which is good I think). I platted Persona 4 Golden on Vita last year and it was excellent - would a remake have enough to convince me to play through the game a third time? I'm not sure.

But I'm glad it's coming out - I can recommend this to my friend that just started Persona 5 Royal and loves it!

Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Soars Past 1 Million Players at Launch

ItsAlwaysSunnyyy

What is wrong with gamers? Even on here people are like "ooooh Steam player counts" .. what losers. There are other platforms that people play on, and also - why do you care enough to read this article, decide to Google how many players are online on one platform, then comment something about it? Super weird way to spend your time.

I think the game looks fun, I'm not an AC fan but I'll probably pick this up in the future.

Re: Saints Row Team Thrown Under the Bus: 'They Didn't Know What They Were Building'

ItsAlwaysSunnyyy

I absolutely loved Saints Row 1 and 2 when they came out. 1 filled the GTA gap brilliantly, and 2 tightened the formula and had a really fun story with great humour. 3 was ok, I appreciated it more in 2020 than I did in 2013 or whenever I played it. I played 4 back to back, 100% both, and 4 was so awfully bad. Still had humour but it was extremely unfocussed and lazy - it was literally do a generic mission, go to spaceship hub, talk to someone, do another mission. Maybe the others were like that too and I can't put my finger right on it, but something changed with 4 and it rightly made me worry about the reboot (which I'm yet to play).

And I don't mind repetitive or "bad" games! But it really just felt like a massive drop in consistency

Re: BlizzCon Returns in 2026 After a Two Year Absence

ItsAlwaysSunnyyy

I hope BlizzCon actually announced something that isn't an expansion. Blizzard burned me bad though - I pre-ordered Warcraft 3 Reforged on the promise of new cutscenes, retcons to match WoW lore, and overall massive enhancements to the original game, and what I didn't realize until I started playing was that they decided to quietly cut all of that to save costs. And the worst part? They lied about it - instead of just saying we had to scale back our ambitions they pushed it onto the gamers, saying the feedback was to keep the game exactly as is.

Extremely dishonest to blame the consumer instead of just being transparent.

Re: Insomniac Delists, Relists VR Catalogue, and Few Even Noticed

ItsAlwaysSunnyyy

I would love to see VR almost exist alongside consoles as a go to thing, instead of feeling in its own little world. But I think Sony is finally doing the right thing in allowing affordable rentals of VR to increase the accessibility. I get severe moron sickness and years ago I tried a DK2 at the Bletchley computer museum (you have to go!!! So cool). I got so unbelievably nauseous on a rollercoaster that I stupidly agreed to do that I was basically in bed for 48 hours after that. Before the rollercoaster the physics games I tried were absolutely amazing. I get that VR has come a long way in 10 years but I'm honestly terrified to try it again.

But I would for a good cost and low commitment. And I would 100% buy one if that turned out well. The VR industry really needs to figure out how to get the masses to test it out, and not just at a special museum exhibit or Selfridges.

Re: Konami Announced a New Suikoden Game, But There's a Huge Catch

ItsAlwaysSunnyyy

I miss the early days of smartphones. There were some fantastic mobile only games - pay once and unlock them. Some went on to become massive franchises (Angry Birds, Fruit Ninja, Plants vs Zombies) beyond the mobile world. Now only games like Genshin have become a franchise, and that was a massively budgeted thing. Gacha games are just so inherently predatory that it worries me how into them people can get.

Also, I miss Zenonia - not sure if anyone's played it but was a great mobile RPG back then. And it was destroyed the minute they added microtransactions to the series.

Re: This Stunning New PS5 RPG from Nacon Needs More Attention

ItsAlwaysSunnyyy

@UltimateOtaku91 ahh I get it, I watched and read a bunch of reviews last year and thought meh indie studio, ambitious game, it's on sale, I'll support that. And tbh the reviews were all accurate but I still enjoyed the game a lot and platted it (astounding considering the bugs)

The world and plot were generic but cool, and I don't normally like grid based combat but it was really fun and extremely challenging in a lot of boss fights, the last one in particular. Definitely am going to grab this but unless the reviews say it's bug free I'm waiting a few months

Re: Sony Hits Back Hard at Bungie Lead's $200 Million Lawsuit

ItsAlwaysSunnyyy

Lot of keyboards warriors here going off on tangents. Anyway, the ridiculous amount he's suing for makes me think he's wanting Sony to settle, which may happen just to avoid the publicity of the charges. But those out of context texts that were leaked are pretty.... *****, tbh. Not professional at all.

Re: Rumour: Rocksteady's Next Single-Player Game Based on Batman Beyond, May Be a PS5 Exclusive

ItsAlwaysSunnyyy

@Vladspartan not true. The beautiful thing about DC is they've never been afraid to experiment with their characters in any medium. Gotham Knights had flaws but it was a fun game, Suicide Squad was ... well, it could have been good from a story perspective if they changed every other system.

But Batman Beyond would be good - and it could take place in the Arkhamverse just like it took place in BTAS. With Kevin Conroy gone it's a good opportunity to recast the Arkham character to be older. And get Will Friedle back.

Re: Marvel's Spider-Man 2's Performance on PC Has Not Been Amazing

ItsAlwaysSunnyyy

That's ok, the game wasn't that amazing either. I'm a huge Spider-Man fan, even had the comics delivered monthly as a kid, but Spider-Man 2 was not a great game. It was ok but but nowhere near as smooth storywise as the first one.

Anyway, it's astounding Sony doesn't put the property attention into PC. Doesn't matter if it's not your primary platform, you need to release a decent product otherwise people are going to avoid future releases

Re: Another Disney Classic Looks Locked for PS Plus Premium in the Future

ItsAlwaysSunnyyy

I don't mind nostalgic releases like this but PlayStation needs to step it up and start to provide heavy hitters. There are SO MANY excellent games out there and a lot of what we got are Disney games. And not every game has trophies, despite them being mandatory on console. Hard to implement retroactively? Maybe, but be transparent. The premium catalog is a joke, few gems in a sea of meh

Re: The GTA 6 2025 Release Window May Have Just Gotten Smaller

ItsAlwaysSunnyyy

@UK_ might be delayed but I doubt it, they've been developing it for basically a decade and they seem pretty committed to that date that being said,. Rockstar games usually launch in an amazingly high quality state, but all of the originators of the series are long gone and the publisher has very obviously taken over decision making, so while it may make the 2025 release date I wouldn't be surprised if there were significant bugs.

And the lack of another trailer means nothing and it's good they've not started marketing it properly yet. It should be a few months' long of a campaign but extremely penetrative and bombastic, that way it'll get people hyped but not be long enough for the hype to die down. Or, oddly, allow the hype to get too out of control

Re: Sony Quietly Pulls 'Eslop' Titles in Face of Mounting Pressure

ItsAlwaysSunnyyy

@LogicStrikesAgain I like to look at All Deals but it's impossible to navigate since all of the shovelware is listed at like 99p, and then at high points they start mixing in with actual good games so it's easy to miss them.

I've resorted to a third party price tracking site where I'm able to hide specific games. It takes forever but after (years..) of using the site I can pretty much immediately see the good stuff. And even then there's always 20 to 30 more shovelware I need to hide. I shouldn't have to do any of this.

Re: Looks Like Resident Evil 5 Is Getting a PS5 Port Too

ItsAlwaysSunnyyy

I never played RE1, 2 or 3, played 10 minutes of 4 and hated it, but played through 5 multiple times both solo and coop. I know it was blasted for the direction it took the series but it was a really fun coop action game. I will say though that even though I say and associate "Resident Evil 5" with the game comfortably, if I hear "Resident Evil" I never would think of 5. Not sure if that makes sense 🤷‍♂️

But I love how they reinvented the series with 7, going first person and back into the creepy horror bits.

Re: Rumour: Devil May Cry Remake Supposedly Outed by Vergil Voice Actor

ItsAlwaysSunnyyy

Capcom honestly has been fantastic with their old IPs post the Mega Man Legends 3 debacle, which angered a very niche audience. If they are remaking DMC then I'm sure it will be a top quality production, however if they were remaking it then would there even be a need for a younger Vergil voice? It'd either be a recast or just have him be himself (unless he sounds ancient now). So we'll see. Or maybe it's a prequel or something.

Re: New PS5 Games Release Dates in 2025

ItsAlwaysSunnyyy

It is an absolute trip to see years old comments here from people excited about then upcoming games. Time really does go faster as you get older hahaha

I'm looking forward to the Max Payne remakes and The Witcher 4 but I'm genuinely curious about GTA 6 - will it meet all the hype?! People in the future will know
