Re: Resident Evil Requiem PS5 Flying Off Shelves, Now at 6 Million Sales

LordAinsley

@Oram77 My issue is within a single title smashing back and forth between flaming chainsaw battles and quips and slowly creeping through a flooded basement with a giant monster chasing you gives you whiplash and makes the experience wonky.

I dont have a problem with the series embodying different styles

I thoroughly enjoy the more action oriented titles as well as the more survival horrory ones, but I think theres a better way to go about it then sort of smashing them together in one title

@Bunchesopuppies as a fan, I agree.

I still massively enjoyed the game but I think the fear of negative feedback from a vocal minority of Leon megastans/the survival horror enthusiasts just meant the final product is kind of wonky and all over the place tonally

Its definitely a much better game than 6 but I think the comparison is actually fair

Re: Poll: Should God of War Trilogy Remake Adopt the Gameplay Style of Ragnarok?

LordAinsley

Complete overhaul, more open world, new style combat, updated graphics and additions to the story/new characters etc to flesh out the trilogy.

I can and have still play the OG series and can even play them on current gen so I'm not interested in it just being the same

Theres so much more you could explore out of the story of the original trilogy and I'd like to see it expanded

Re: Fans Are Already Debating Whether God of War's PS5 Trilogy Will Cut the Series' Sex Minigames

I think they're pretty cringe honestly but completely depends on what these remakes even are.

I think if they're going over the shoulder, new style GOW and they're making changes to the story to make it more poigniant and add depth to Kratos character and the nature of his anger etc, you definitely remove them in their current form. Maybe you add something else in a way thats played in a less childish way.

If its just a straight remake, same story, same dialogue, same gameplay but in 4K, yeah you just leave them who cares.

Re: 'It's a Huge Upgrade': PS5 Pro Poised to Improve Massively in 2026

@nessisonett Obviously its expensive, but I got a Dualsense Edge and just got some stick drift after 2 years of serious use,

as you can replace the modules unlike the OG DS, a repair is really cheap and you're back to gaming again.

Its a spend more to save later thing of course, but I was quite happy with the results

I think it was Silksong that finally did it for my left stick. I think all that jerking the stick about messed it up

Re: Sony Accused of Using Generative AI Art for PlayStation Advent Calendar Promo

@themightyant
I'm not a fan of your argument, even if in this case you're right? Thats...a strange thing to say.

I'm not even anti-AI, and its become such a difficult subject to discuss because people act like this is some sort of weird culture war.

Its super useful for coding etc, and it will revolutionize some stuff for sure. It's actually really useful in the video game space.

That being said, the art just looks bad and I dont want it jammed in my face on every billboard and blasted into my face at every opportunity because someone said "hey, this is fast, doesnt matter that it looks like utter garbage because it was fast"

Sometimes nothing is the better option and I think AI has broken this in peoples minds.

Re: Sony Accused of Using Generative AI Art for PlayStation Advent Calendar Promo

LordAinsley

To the defenders here, I'd say this.

This kind of stuff is to try and normalize the usage. Downplaying it enables this and it'll creep into every aspect.

The fact is that it does look bad and it does look like AI. It used to be that if you were going to do something but it was going to look bad, you'd deem it not worth it and cancel it. But now, you just use AI, it looks bad and you just shrug.

Just because the time constraints have been reduced, doesnt make it good. It looks bad and therefore, you should have either got some actual art or maybe just cancelled the whole campaign because it doesnt work

Re: Silent Hill F Made Easier in Difficulty Overhaul, Adds Casual Mode

LordAinsley

These are good fixes. I have the Platinum now but replaying the whole game multiple times was a chore, the option to skip sections I think is a good compromise.

The story was great. I hope the next game has better combat and maybe includes these changes from the get go. I really didnt feel like redoing the entire house or school sections of the game 3 times added anything to my playthroughs I was just beelining through trying to get to the next bit of story
