Re: Rumour: Assassin's Creed Red Is Starting to Sound a Lot Like Valhalla

@nomither6 Those aren’t stealthy ninjas, those are loud kill everything ninjas. AC should not have that kind of Ninja, but the quiet ninja, the one that blends in through social stealth. Blending in with the people and social stealth was a very common ninja tactic. This much gore takes the focus away form that. It shouldn’t gorie then Mirage or Unity.

@Flaming_Kaiser They cry it’s too short, then they cry it’s too bloated, they cry cry and cry. People go on this same “I want to only $0.50 per hour of gameplay”.
If you have that much time, but that little money, you might want to reconsider how your time is spent. Exceptions apply, but as rule I think I’m probably right.

Re: Reaction: The Problem with PlayStation Right Now

Games are too long these days. Some game shall be long, but take a look at God of War Ragnorok, great game, but it needed 33-50% of it cut. That’s stuff that didn’t even need to be made for the game and costs that cover been avoided, but it’s bloated and that probably bloated the cost of the game by millions too.

Re: Baldur's Gate 3 Sales Apparently Top 10 Million

@breakneck I thought combat was great, I like it more than D:OS’s, and think BG2’s is a disastrous mutilation of DnD combat.
But if you think act 2 is stalling, you’re not gonna like act 3…
It starts easily as one of the greatest games ever made though. Them starts to stumble away from that as it progresses.

Re: Video: One Year Later, Is PSVR2 Doing Enough?

Jaz007

@UltimateOtaku91 FP support is lacking, but it’s still getting a lot of third party, indicating VR devs see money on the platform. If it’s like the first PSVR, while Quest sells more, the attach rate for software here is much higher.

Re: Poll: What Do You Think of PSVR2, One Year Later?

Jaz007

I quite enjoy it but Sony should have another game announced for it and bring some ports of PSVR1 games on over.
It has gotten pretty good third-party support and seems to be pretty profitable for them, which is a good sign.
I regularly play and buy games for my PSVR2.

Re: Sony Testing PSVR2 Compatibility on PC, Aiming for This Year

Jaz007

I'd love this. I have a few things on PC I want to try out, not sure how my graphics card will hold up, but this would just be awesome. I've been wanting this for a while. It also gives me hope that Sony really does have some plans for PSVR2 and they're just not communicating to their own detriment.

Re: Dragon's Dogma 2 Unlikely to Be Capcom's Last $70 Game

@tameshiyaku The flipside of this also true, you get it at launch, but if I don't get a Nintendo game at launch I see less value and don't want to buy it as I didn't want it at launch. It's no longer worth the full price. I don't mind paying more for launch, but I won't pay full price for a game two years after its release.

Re: Baldur's Gate 3 Patch 6 Promises Big Improvements and Fixes

Jaz007

@extragood Historically the studio redoes act 3 of their games entirely since they ship complete and worse off than the first two, and act 3 in BG3 needs it as well, so I think if you wait a year or so a “definitive edition” that redoes act will show up. No guarantee, but look up what happened with D:OS one and two.

Re: Baldur's Gate 3 Patch 6 Promises Big Improvements and Fixes

@species Yes, I finished the game. The control ending was a 30 second cutscene that was obviously added in as an afterthought. The other “good” ending was nothing but “hey you defeated the BBG and nothing you did beforehand actually matters or affects anything”. All of the party members didn’t even have a single line and certain companion quests just didn’t finish.
They later patched an epilogue for one of the endings, but it still left companion questlines unfinished(just a hastily thrown in so I did stuff), the other ending which was hyped for half the game was still a 30 second cutscene.
The epilogue is still oddly empty in some ways too, it also contradicted some of the tiny romance resolution scenes (which constructed what came before) because the ending lost all sense of basic planning.
Some of games most hyped moments never happen or have any consequence.
It technically had an ending, but it was obvious that it was almost all cut from the game and only an incomplete sliver remained.

Re: Helldivers 2 (PS5) - The Best Co-Op Shooter on PS5

Jaz007

@Maaster89 Alone doesn’t work. It’s not balanced for it at all and you’ll have a hard time doing a medium mission by yourself most likely.
Matchmaking has gotten much better since launch though and if you don’t mind some randoms (it plays fine with randos) definitely still get it.

Re: Baldur's Gate 3 Patch 6 Promises Big Improvements and Fixes

Jaz007

I’m glad we’re still getting improvements. I wonder when they’ll do an overhaul that will require new saves because it’s so extensive.
The automatic dialogue one in particular got super annoying. Nothing like the 8 charisma cleric getting dialouge instead of my rogue built to be a face.

@GiliusThunderdome They boasted about 17000 (variations) on the ending and then the game didn’t even ship with an ending. They never were. This has been the most successful con at shipping a blatantly unfinished game I’ve ever seen.

Re: Poll: Which Xbox Franchises Would You Buy on PS5?

Jaz007

I feel like the poll is kinda too broad in that has games with no confirmed or likely sequels that aren’t already on PS. I think narrowing to games that have been announced already for Xbox only past or present and not PS would be more informative.

Re: Rumour: Even Gears of War Is Reportedly in Talks to Come to PlayStation

Jaz007

It sounds like threw money to help Xbox, then wanted to put it all on Gamepass, realized the lack of word of mouth from not being on PS and the lack of actual sales didn't help the bottom line, and now are trying to fix the billions they used on publishers in a way that doesn't make a lot of sense.
I think MS's Xbox management has simply been a disaster and throwing money around has made some people actually want to see a return sooner.
Xbox has been terribly mismanaged ever since the first 2/3rds of the 360's lifespan ended.
