Re: Sony Stock Value Loses $20 Billion, But Will Likely Recover

Jtheripper

Ms just lowered even more their quality of interesting portfolio to me.
Much more a loss obsidian and inxile, was looking forward to starfield too.

But this is nothing for me, just hope doesn't affect Sony much, they have plenty of much much more creative, interesting, diverse quality games portfolio.

And can add a couple more maybe to compensate, even then, just pump out quality more and more.

It'll be fine if not too many casuals follow just the mob.

Re: Reaction: Activision Blizzard Buyout Is Devastating for PS5, PS4

Jtheripper

Couldn't care less, not surprised ms goes for simpleton online cash cows.
Makes it even clearer that they are just money co.
Not game makers,producers, using their funds to try buy out their spot.

Pushes me further away from ms, more sad that we lost obsidian, but i bet they will be pushed to make fps games.

Re: Stranger of Paradise Brings Chaos to PS5 SSDs

@Olmaz playable storage for ps5 games on the current ps5 really is a weak part of the design,with so expensive extra internal ssds.

At least you can just plug the same external hdd on your ps4 to your ps5 and play those i think directly?

I have a 4tb hdd on my ps4,always full.
Wish i had 8tb,and put movies,shows too maybe.

Re: BioWare Still 'Hard at Work' on New Mass Effect, Dragon Age 4

Jtheripper

@Flaming_Kaiser yh, also doesn't have to be an open field if open world, i mean as long as you are free to explore, go back etc, but with intriguing map design still.
U could consider dark soul open world in a way, or bloodborne. Maybe a balance between those labyrinthine designs and full open maps would be ideal.
Still have interesting diverse environment, with a challenge to discover all nooks and crannies etc.

Re: Sony Removes Standalone Versions of Uncharted 4, Lost Legacy on PS4

Jtheripper

Bad moves, just like when they removed ghost of tsushima base ed. even months before adding only the bundle with the island add on included.

Was waiting to get the lower priced base game when on a good sale.
Now it's a no sale for me, for a much longer time, until that version is on a good sale..
Plus makes me less like sony, carefull sony

Re: All Marvel's Avengers Cosmetics Pegged at $3,400

Jtheripper

Disgusting how our hobby is turning into games designed to earn money as a primary objective, instead of a fun, interesting, challenging, immersive, imaginative, cool, different experience.

It's generic consumerism items.
Luckily lots of good games and cool devs out there.

Re: Elden Ring Looks Awesome in 20 Minutes of Gameplay Action

Jtheripper

@lolwhatno hi,i agree ps4 could possibly run a game this nice if tiptop optimized, but from software arent the best for that i feel.

Days gone does look great.
And the ground,environment textures/detail and lighting dont look that amazing in this gameplay trailer always.
But to run and look as nice, like in the trailer i think it will need be on newgen.

Re: First Mainline Splinter Cell in Eight Years Allegedly Enters Production

@JB_Whiting @RBMango you guys are right on the money lol, cross fingers it wont be like that though.
I never played blacklist, some say it's too action oriented, that could be another misstep i guess.
Is it any good?
@JB_Whiting bit out of subject matter but that is Dante i guess your avatar.. i never gave a chance to both old and newer dmc series, but i tried the demo of 5 and liking the quality and moves.
I just got 4se now on sale on psn for ps4, I know not best maybe in the series but its the nicest modern looking of the old series and wanted try that. Also i liked it more from videos, stylish, with religious tones, music presentation etc
Will get dmc de and 5 later on.
I almost paid extra for the 3 1st games included, was tempting, but bit old clunky seems, like old re games with cam etc.
I regret it a little as it will take a while to get those for so cheap separately again.
They take time to make them it seems.
Cheers..

Re: Persona 5 Royal - The Best JRPG on PS4 Just Got Even Better

Jtheripper

P5 is 12$ cad on psn now, was going to get it, thinking p5r is a multiplayer offshoot.
Now i dont know, will take a while for r to go down so low as well i guess.
I never been into Japanese games much, but i like rpgs, adventure style of it, turnbased combat, and realistic mature themes.
Not so much the teen dialogue, cartoon style, and corny style.

Watched a play thru, 1st couple hours and was into it, feels like living in a cartoon adventure.

Japanese games often seem so generic, fast done story, dialogue, music, art..

Just the facade of the 1st palace is so generic, simplistic.
The story seems to have blatant mistakes, like at the beginning, there's a subway accident and the guy in the car says no wonder there's lot of traffic..
It's an underground accident..unless i was too tired and missed something.
The music in the 1st couple hours couldn't be more generic, simple, monotone, repetitive cheap synth, as in most of Japanese games.

That be one good reason to wait for R to go down, if music is better.

Re: Rockstar Removing PS2 Versions of GTA from PS Store

Jtheripper

They take old games off of course, so we pay more for new ports.
Worse is games like tsushima, they deleted the base game from ps4 until they had the complete edition with the dlc added, so you can't buy the base game at a lower price now.
Pretty scummy from sony honestly.
