Re: TV Show Review: Twisted Metal - Car Crash Entertainment

This sounds terrible. It’s a weird TM fan fiction. Sony needs to be careful with its IPs. The moment this didn’t have Calypso running a tournament it should have been canned. It could have been new, instead it’s a generic pair apocalyptic story that steered clear of doing something more interesting because the show writers didn’t have the talent for it and they knew it.

Re: The FTC Officially Files an Appeal Against Microsoft-Activision Court Victory

@GamingFan4Lyf If it get blocked, I personally say it’s worth it and it is the gov is doing its job. And if not, the problem is less the waste, and more the basic failure to perform its gov.
COD staying on PS is also not a fact. Not at all. There is a lot reason from history to assume COD will be gone after 10 years, which means MS is just lying through its teeth.

Re: Larian Studios Gets TikTok Ban for Bear-Form Druid Sex Scene in Baldur's Gate 3

Jaz007

@Kylekgh Sex and violence are completely different and provoke entirely different reactions. There's a reason we allow kids to take a martial arts class, but not a be sexy class. We play violence with kids all the time. We do not with the other one.
Scary is also very much the wrong word. Disliking plain degeneracy does not mean sex is scary.

Also, it's not giving as many choices as possible. Romance doesn't mean sex, but if you want to romance this druid, it means a bear sex scene. That's giving no agency in the romance and denying my ability to choose. It would be giving as many choices without this scene.

@MikeOrator In general, I like romance options, and I don't want graphic sexual scenes and whatnot shoved my way because I chose romance (which doesn't equal sex).
DnD pen and paper has a persuasion skill. Obviously that's not immoral. Can someone turn DnD into immoral smut? Yes, and many DnD horror stories happen because someone wanted to turn the game into smut. In actual DnD, that's almost always a ticket to disaster.

Re: New PS Store Essential Picks Sale Has 1,400 PS5, PS4 Game Discounts

Jaz007

@Wheatly There's a fair amount of truth to this. Diablo 3 for example is on sale for $20 as it is half the time if not more if feels like. The game's actual price is obviously $20, but by keeping it at $60 they can put it on sale while never actually discounting it from the normal $20. It's also roughly $20ish at Gamestop and Amazon too.

Re: Random: There's a Weird The Last of Us Knockoff on Nintendo Switch Now

@awaltzforvenus Hold up, don’t do Gameloft dirty like that. They made quality and fun “clones” that provided something not already there on the platform. I would love to have some paid gameloft games again, or at least the old ones available on new phones.
They made better iPhone games than pretty much everyone else does today.

Re: Comprehensive Baldur's Gate 3 Playthroughs Set to Last 200 Hours

@kyleforrester87 It’s honestly a mess on PC too. DnD is meant to be played turn based, one person at a time. I really don’t understand people who defends the awkward rigging of the DnD rules for real time with pause. I play actual DnD too.
I mean let’s be real. In OG BG, combat was clearly as afterthought.

Re: Mini Review: Synapse (PSVR2) – Some Incredible Gameplay But Not Enough Content

Jaz007

@Spanky84 The small sweet spot is barley noticable if at all most of the time.
the cable doesn't get in the way of standing up either, I only play standing up unless the game needs sitting down (Gran Turismo would be an example of something I'd play sitting down). It's a very simple plug and play.
I also think playing on max brightness works just fine.
I also hold a different opinion on the rings, they make for a much better controller than quest has to offer. I can let of the PSVR2 controller go and it won't fall it'll stay right there. I don't have to worry about my grip. If I let go of a quest controller, it's just gone.

Re: C-Smash VRS (PSVR2) - Squashed Potential

Jaz007

I've tried the demo a few times, a few months after the PSVR2 launched, but could never find a match. I don't if the matchmaking is bad, or it's dead, but it just seems like a bad deal for an online game. I get the chicken and the egg, but the demo doesn't give any eggs and that's a problem.

Re: Sony Eager to Ensure PS Plus Remains Relevant and Offers More Value

Jaz007

6 games a month and normally having indies day one (which I think we last saw with Deep Rock Galactic, a fantastic idea and addition). You've gotten complacent with Plus compared to old times for years now. Give us 2 VR games a month, 2 PS5 game, 2 PS4 Games, and you'll be giving us comparable value to what I used to pay for.

Re: Apparently Some People Hate the New PS5, PS4 Prince of Persia Game

Jaz007

@Kidfried They likely existed there, but were less common. They don’t have a history in PoP aesthetics, but I don’t they think wore them forward/diagonal like that.
You might argue the haircuts were never meant to be historical.
Sure, but there’s a difference between something that’s a bit of artistic liberty and just screams “out of place.”, especially for the IP.
Now combine that with the trailer in general not seeming like Prince of Persia, it stacks up.
And now I’m hearing this isn’t the Prince, but the prince getting rescued? It just doesn’t feel like a PoP game.

Re: Apparently Some People Hate the New PS5, PS4 Prince of Persia Game

Jaz007

And Warriors Within has tons of negative feedback, showing out of place music is a bad idea.
The combat looks decent sure, but where’s the platforming? This looks combat based when it shouldn’t be.
I’m not sure it really should be a PoP game. It looks like it’s missing the point.
I’d love to be proven otherwise, but this doesn’t seem like the right fit.
@Kidfried, or, or, or doesn’t look like a PoP game in the trailer. We all know the prince is Persian. It’s ain’t getting disliked for that. He does have an odd haircut though.

Re: Try Not to Cringe Over Twisted Metal's Television Show

Jaz007

@GamingFan4Lyf Depends on how you define gritty. It was more of a overly satirical American Psycho type of black comedy. All the characters took what was going on seriously, very much so.
I've mostly played Twisted Metal 2, but my understanding is that black isn't too far off.
It was a deal with the devil type of deal that almost always ended badly for everyone (including those who died in the competition), and sometimes the worst for the person who won and got to ask, Calypso, essentially the devil, for something.
Calypso viewed the whole thing as comedic, but only him and in an extremely cruel manner.

The show doesn't seem to even be using the competition format and instead a post apoclpyic that as far as we, know isn't from the tournament destroying the world, but just mad max style or something. This is not following the spirit of Twisted Metal very well. You could very much make a show out of the basic plot. Depending on how you handled the car being destroyed vs killing whoever is inside. You could do multiple seasons, with different winners, maybe it ending with someone killing calypso instead of asking for a wish.
