DLC garbage,
annual releases,
broken and unfinished games,
kick starters that don't deliver what they promised,
kickstarters that fail,
day one patches,
online only games,
forced online check ins,
bolted on multiplayer,
franchises getting scuttled or rebooted or playing it safe.

I'm hoping for a Resident Evil 2 Remake announcement and release date. I bet it will be more micro transactions, DLC garbage or an upgrade to " super" or " turbo" pack though.
Never liked the original ps 2 game to begin with. Doubt i will like the upscaled rehash, might buy it if i ever see it cheap. But as far as I am concerned FF went on a steep decline after 9.

Re: School Girl/Zombie Hunter Skips Class on 17th November
....sounds very onechanbara.
So off course its a spin off.
Re: Feature: 20 PSone Games We Want on a PlayStation Classic Mini
@kyleforrester87
Yeah, that is what i was hoping for too.
I would be so down for a ps1 classic.
Re: Feature: 20 PSone Games We Want on a PlayStation Classic Mini
...damn.
For a moment i thought Sony announced a ps1 classic mini.

Re: Square Enix Survival Action Game Left Alive Lands Two New Screens
@kyleforrester87
I suppose il fire up my wii U later today,
or my Saturn. Always been a big fan of the Saturn.
Re: Square Enix Survival Action Game Left Alive Lands Two New Screens
@kyleforrester87
eh i suppose
For me all the joy has been sucked out of gaming as of late.
Maybe this wii U I got will get more fired up again.
I also sank 60 hours in to American Truck Simulator.
....Make of that what you will, that game is oddly compelling.
Re: Action RPG Vampyr Returns to Its Crypt Until Spring 2018
Surprise, surprise.
And one of the few games i was looking forward too.

@JohnnyBastos
Bayek will find sand in the weirdest places I bet.
Re: Two More Grand Theft Auto Games Are Coming to PS4
Not Interested.
Already bought and played these games enough times*
Not interested in rebuying the same thing over and over.
( * well twice once on the ps2 and once on the psp when i saw them cheap )
Re: Square Enix Survival Action Game Left Alive Lands Two New Screens
Oh look, more pseudo hype for a game we know nothing about !
hooray !
I'll wait for substantial information, before getting interested
and then wait for the inevitable price drop.
Re: Succumb to the Sands of Time in Assassin's Creed Origins
Much sand.
Very metaphor.
Such obvious.
Sands of time , subtle Ubisoft very subtle.
Re: There's, Er, a New PlayStation Credit Card Coming Out
@sonicmeerkat
High speed delivery i see
Re: There's, Er, a New PlayStation Credit Card Coming Out
...Well that's a thing.
A strange and probably useless thing, but still a thing.
Re: Watch a Cut-Scene from Star Wars Battlefront 2's Story Mode
ill wait for the actual game, instead of artificial hype building.
Re: Guide: Gundam Versus Hints and Tips for Rookie Pilots on PS4
...Yup...already want it.

Re: Deals: PS4 FIFA 18 Bundles Are Outrageously Cheap in the UK
...Good lord that is cheap.
Kinda wish I waited now.
Oh, well.
Re: Single Player Games Are Really Struggling Right Now
Oh, goodie.
good thing then that I got a huge backlog.
Can't stand online gaming, who are games living on borrowed time anyway.
The plug can be pulled any moment.

Re: Review: Blue Reflection (PS4)
@TheHatredDMC
I think revisiting FF 13 is a nightmare for many people.
Re: Here's Everything You Need to Know About Star Wars Battlefront 2 on PS4
@get2sammyb
They are.
The moment the servers will go down and they WILL, the much vaunted multiplayer modes are deadweight taking up space on the discs.
I got stacks of original Xbox games whose xbox live modes are now quite useless.
Not too mention online only games, whose servers went down.
I'd rather be able to play a game when I want to. Not to be on borrowed time and at the whim of the publisher.
EA just loves to pull plugs.
Re: Hands On: Job Simulator and Pesky Produce Collide in Shooty Fruity
nope
the moment i saw it was a VR title i noped right out
nothing is more off putting then seeing that VR thing tacked on
well that and a shallow forgettable piece of fluff like this
Re: Store Update: 26th September 2017 (Europe)
@kyleforrester87
exactly what i was thinking
only more polite
Re: Here's Everything You Need to Know About Star Wars Battlefront 2 on PS4
It has a single player mode, this alone makes me more interested.
Can't stand multiplayer.
Not in the least because multiplayer mods are basically living on borrowed time.
Re: Sony Doesn't See Much Potential in Portable Platforms
@Derpie1
that's nice for japan but the vita is quite dead in the rest of the world
then again i want a Wii U ...cause i'm mental.
Re: UK Sales Charts: Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite Appears to Flop
Guess the " performance" is well deserved then.
Re: Everybody's Gone to the Rapture at UK Studio The Chinese Room
@CountFunkula78
So basically, they threw their toys out of the pram and pretend its a calculated move ?
Re: Sony Doesn't See Much Potential in Portable Platforms
@Derpie1
Worked so well for the wii U ;p
Re: Sony Doesn't See Much Potential in Portable Platforms
Considering how much a flop the Vita was compared to the PSP, I cant say I'm surprised.
Re: Review: Blue Reflection (PS4)
@lacerz
Do not make a good game
Re: Review: Blue Reflection (PS4)
A jrpg that looks great, but has stale boring gameplay in a genre that has been stagnant since Final Fantasy 4 ?!
Say it aint so.
Re: Review: Mary Skelter: Nightmares (PS Vita)
Still a dungeon crawler in the end.
i'll pass.
Re: Limited Edition Destiny 2 DualShock 4 Is Coming to Europe
@Eternallover21

Re: Rumour: Street Fighter Anniversary Collection Flying to PS4
@kyleforrester87
Brr play Resident evil 4 ?
..I'd rather not.
Re: Rumour: Street Fighter Anniversary Collection Flying to PS4
Would be awesome.
Would be great.
So off course Capcom wont do it.
A port of the NX's sf II turbo is more likely to " celebrate"
Re: Night Trap Makes Your 90s FMV Nightmares a Reality Again Next Month
...Great ..be still my beating heart.
Course, it cant be a quality title like Snatcher, Popfull Mail or Lunar.
No, it has to be this.
Re: Gran Turismo Sport May Be in for a Tough Ride
Gran Turismo's stale boring rote by the numbers follow the racing line " gameplay" AND mainly online focus ?
Talk about about a deathknell.
Avoid at all costs.
Re: Sony Confirms Dragon Quest XI Will Come to PS4 in the West
Eh, can't be arsed.
I don't like jrpgs and never liked the art direction of this series either
's gonna be an easy pass.
Re: Limited Edition Destiny 2 DualShock 4 Is Coming to Europe
Looks a bit tacky to be honest.
Re: Review: Fallen Legion: Sins of an Empire (PS4)
So...Odin Sphere lite ?
Re: Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen Summons a PS4 Release Date in Japan
New games plox
Not " prettied up" hd ports of a 5 year old game I already have.
Twice.
Re: Star Wars Battlefront 2 Is Talking a Good Single Player Story
I don't care about the story !
As long as the single player gameplay is good im in.
Re: Bugger, Ni no Kuni II Is Delayed into 2018 on PS4
I can deal with the delay, I stil need to play the first one.
Re: Gran Turismo Sport Actually Has a PS4 Release Date, and It's 2017
Was hoping for a 30 December release date.
It would technically still be 2017 then.
Re: Capcom Cancels Street Fighter V Panel, But Says Announcements Are Still Coming at Evo 2017
I'm hoping for a Resident Evil 2 Remake announcement and release date.
I bet it will be more micro transactions, DLC garbage or an upgrade to " super" or " turbo" pack though.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 177
FF 4 still.
and the way too many games i bought in the current psn sale
Re: Poll: Are You Enjoying Final Fantasy XII on PS4?
Never liked the original ps 2 game to begin with.
Doubt i will like the upscaled rehash, might buy it if i ever see it cheap.
But as far as I am concerned FF went on a steep decline after 9.
Re: Talking Point: PS5 Release Date - When Will Sony's Next-Gen Console Launch?
I am hoping 2020 or later.
2022 maybe.
The ps4 is doing way too well, for it to be disrupted by the ps5.
Re: Hands On: Final Fantasy XII on PS4 Is a Strong Reminder of How Great the Series Used to Be
@Flaming_Kaiser
Better then FF 10 at least but that's not hard ;p
Re: Hands On: Final Fantasy XII on PS4 Is a Strong Reminder of How Great the Series Used to Be
This series hasnt been " great" anymore, since FF 9 and even that one is kinda iffy.
