Re: Skipping RoboCop: Rogue City on PS5? You're Going to Need a New Plan

KeldorTheCursed

Since RoboCop is my favorite film and it's been 30 years since a good RoboCop game (1993's RoboCop vs The Terminator), I'm VERY excited for this one. Even more so than Spider-Man 2, which I'm also pretty hyped for. Instant pre-order for me. I'll buy that for a (lot more than) a dollar!

@atthegates I don't know about how it'll be on my PS5, but John from DF LOVED the PC demo. He raved about it on the Sunday's weekly video. Hopefully the full game is optimized well across all platforms.

Re: RoboCop: Rogue City Is Much More of an RPG Than You Might Think

KeldorTheCursed

I’m really looking forward to Spider-Man 2, but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t more excited for RoboCop. I still occasionally play RoboCop vs the Terminator on my Sega Genesis because I’m a HUGE RoboCop fan (it’s my favorite movie) and there hasn’t been a truly good Robo game in decades. I’m super hyped for this as it’s right up my (dystopian Detroit) alley.

Re: Poll: Are You Playing Assassin's Creed Mirage?

KeldorTheCursed

I’ve played most of the series (I skipped a few after 3) and enjoyed Origins and Odyssey (especially the later). That being said, while Valhalla was so big I got bored with it and never finished it, this return to the older style of games doesn’t interest me, either. Feels like a “been there, done that” to me. I also found Basim (and all of the Valhalla characters, really) deeply uninteresting, so I’m not excited to play as him. I hope those playing really enjoy it and have a good time with it, but I’ll be skipping this one.

Re: AEW: Fight Forever (PS5) - A Superkick Party Pooper Fit for Elite Fans Only

KeldorTheCursed

I’ve been enjoying it for what it is (a half baked, but fun game), but it’s way overpriced. I hope they add a lot of wrestlers over time or it will wear out its welcome rather quickly for most people. New wrestlers added now and again should keep it entertaining for die hard Aew fans and/or people who enjoy the arcadey gameplay.

I will say that I remapped the controls somewhat as they weren’t intuitive for me at all.

Re: Claims of Co-Op in Spider-Man 2 Shot Down by Insomniac

KeldorTheCursed

@Soulless666 I’m not lonely, but I am misanthropic and old, 😆

I quite enjoy playing with friends live, but online just isn’t fun for me, especially with random strangers. That being said, I wouldn’t have been bothered if the game had multiplayer, so long as I wasn’t forced to play it to enjoy the game.

I’ve been playing a lot of “After the Fall” lately, and I’m enjoying it, but I’m just playing with AI. Just give me the option to play solo and I’m cool, and let people who love multiplayer enjoy that, too.

Re: Impressive and Beautiful Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Made with 'No Compromises' for PS5

KeldorTheCursed

Spider-Man was one of the few games where I didn't mind the repetitive open world stuff because I've been a fan of the character since I was a kid. I used to fire that game up simply to swing around as a form of relaxation. Your mileage may vary, I suppose.

I don't see the game map changing much as Spidey is a New York based hero and always has been. I do hope we get more indoor environments though. I like that idea a lot.

Re: Preview: Street Fighter 6 PS5, PS4 Chucks the Kitchen Sink At Fans Who Complained About the Previous Game

KeldorTheCursed

I hadn't really played a SF game since 2 or maybe 3. I fired up SF5 some years back when it was free to play, played it for a couple of hours and then deleted it. I think maybe SF just doesn't do it for me anymore like it did when I was a kid. Capcom games in general just seem overly... maybe "hyper" is the word I'm looking for? 😆 That said, I'll likely give the demo a try, at least.

Re: Star Wars Jedi: Survivor (PS5) - Fantastic Sequel Is Bigger and Better in Every Way

KeldorTheCursed

I enjoyed the first game for what it was (I wasn’t as blown away by it as many others seemed to be), but thought the combat was pretty lackluster. It sounds like they didn’t do a whole lot to improve that aspect of it, so I’m not really chomping at the bit to play this one. That being said, my backlog is so full, I won’t be playing it anytime soon, anyway. I’ll pick it up during a future sale, for sure, though,

Re: Poll: Are You Playing God of War Ragnarok's New Game Plus?

KeldorTheCursed

I never finished it as I got kind of bored around what I assume is maybe the mid way point (Asgard). I'm sure I'll finish it eventually. I did the same thing with the previous game. Great games, but I get bored part way through and put them away for months until I eventually get the itch to play again.

Re: Soapbox: PSVR2 Already Feels Like It's on Course for Failure

KeldorTheCursed

This strikes me as a “the sky is falling!” kind of article. I don’t get it.

Personally, I think it’s about managing expectations. The PS5 has only just now become readily available for a lot of folks. It’s a lot harder for them to pull the trigger on a PSVR2 than it is someone like me, who’s had the system since launch.

I think anyone who was expecting this to be some kind of crazy huge launch were deluded in thinking so.

Personally, I’ve played nothing but PSVR2 since it launched. It’s a blast. I have like a dozen games to play that I like and a lot of them weren’t even on this site’s “best of” list, so I have plenty to keep me busy.

I can’t think of a single positive thing that this article accomplishes. If you want this peripheral to succeed, helping convince folks on the fence about it that it’s some kind of disaster certainly isn’t to going to help.

Re: Best PSVR2 Games

KeldorTheCursed

I keep seeing people online (not just on Push Square) saying that Call of the Mountain's story is hard to follow and I simply don't get it. As a fan of the first two Horizon games and their lore, it's very easy for me to follow. In fact, it's quite a simple story in general. I will admit that the story almost requires knowledge of those games, but if you're familiar with the series, it's not rocket science. It's also one of my favorite of the 10 or so PSVR2 games I've played so far. Your mileage may vary.

Re: WWE 2K23 (PS5) - 2K Sports' Wrestling Series Continues Its Steady Rise

KeldorTheCursed

I've been playing these since the original Smackdown! on PS1, but this is the first year that I'll wait for a good sale. Last year's game was good but I didn't play it all that much. Frankly, I'm just not that familiar with most of the modern wrestlers and waiting for a sale will give the community more time to make me some nice legends to download 😎

Re: Resident Evil Village (PSVR2) - An Even More Intense Version of a PS5 Great

KeldorTheCursed

@NEStalgia I freaking love that Star Wars game. I ended up playing it more than Horizon, which is great, but I have yet to finish it. In contrast, I’ve already replayed some sections of Galaxy’s Edge. I think being a massive Star Wars fan helps (I’ve wanted to “inhabit” that universe for 40 years). My only nit is that it takes place in the Disney time period, which I don’t care for, but that’s a minor thing. I hope they do another set during the OT. I’d die 😂

To get on topic, I only just started RE for the first time (I only bought it when I found out they were doing a VR patch. The last RE game I played was Resident Evil… the first one 😂). So far it’s the only one to get me a tiny bit motion sick, so we’ll see how it goes. It looks amazing, though.

Re: Mini Review: Kayak VR: Mirage (PSVR2) - An Immersive Yet Thin Experience

KeldorTheCursed

@LeeHarveyOzgod I mostly chalk it up to being old and cranky, but while I love playing co-op with someone I’m physically with the way I did growing up, I never got into playing online with people. Even when I had a year or so run on Destiny when it was new, I would only play with others if they asked me to and I think I only helped beat one raid.

I have played online with local friends once or twice and it was fun but I don’t have a lot of time to play most days and I may have to stop at any moment just due to life stuff, so I’m not the best candidate for it anyway, to be fair.

Re: Mini Review: Kayak VR: Mirage (PSVR2) - An Immersive Yet Thin Experience

KeldorTheCursed

I got this game knowing what I was in for and it's great for just being a relaxing experience. The fact that it can also be at least a little bit of a workout is a nice bonus. I don't play it for long stretches (as I've been doing with Horizon and Star Wars), but paddling around for 20-30 minutes now and again just to chill out is pretty great, IMO. Your mileage may very. I also think the score is fair.

Re: Horizon Fans Can't Believe How Short Aloy Is in PSVR2

KeldorTheCursed

Since we're going that route now (haha), my wife is 5'4". She fits right under my chin during a hug like we're Legos 😆 I'm American if that makes any difference. I don't always feel tall because there's several customers that come into my store that a quite a bit taller than me. Must be something in the water 😆

But yeah, I never thought Aloy was taller than average. She was almost always shorter than the characters she would talk to in the games.
