@nomither6 because that generation (and this is just my personal opinion) is the one that kinda started the downhill slope of gaming. It's a great generation too but it also got hit with the "the moment servers shut down, your game becomes a new expensive coaster."
This is why the golden generation of gaming was (and still is) the 90's and early 2000's. I can hook up my PS2 and (as long as the console and discs are good) can play any PS1 and PS2 title on my shelf.
I spent $90 and got 3 years of ps+. $80 for one year sounds like highway robbery now. I'd rather just use my xbox for online with game pass ultimate at that point. At least I get day 1 games with it
I used to use PS stars. Now that I let my ps+ membership end, I don't get the coins because ps+ sub is required. I'm thinking of cancelling it now that it no longer serves a purpose for me. Sony messed up raising the price of their online features
I'll agree because the game isn't as accessible as Astro Bot but it's my personal GoTY. Great story, memorable characters, well written villain, and loved it lived by it's title for being a Metaphor for our world itself. Very well done Studio Zero
I'd personally give it a 9. I'm loving the combat and the retelling of the story and new mini games make it a worth while buy. I think the side quests are a bit of a chore though, they get kinda repetitive but it's a very tiny nitpick
I would personally give it a 9. I feel the social links were done better in persona 5 and 4 since some of them at least gave you useful skills or buffs like the confidants and the social links in P4G mostly consisted of the actual party members. This time I'm just doing it for the EXP boost and I feel like I can just skip their dialogue (I don't though)
No *****! It's a game that has outstayed its welcome and everyone is ready for Bungie to move on. Honestly I'm not looking forward to whatever live service they have coming next. SELL Bungie
@djlard I can't help but think you wouldn't say that if the game was coming to playstation. Invisible borders don't bother me. Just give me enough space (pun intended) to run around and I'll be happy
It's fine. Guess I can give Saints Row a playthrough but it won't come close to the first 2 games. Volition really screwed the pooch on that one. But at least I have Starfield to look forward to
To me, a live service model is fine as long as the game is 'free to play'. I hate these games that ask for a full price and then ask for more on top of it for all the features that are in F2P titles
@Cashews true but I've heard non-fighting game fans just use the term "smash clone" because it just gets the point across as the game super smash bros was so iconic even most non-gamers can understand what kind of fighting game it is.
@ChronoBreak777 I mean they are generally action platformers. "Metroidvania" is just the best term to describe them as they were the first games to implement such game design.
Like how we call games like Nickelodeon brawl, Playstation All Stars, and Multiverses basically "smash clones". It's not a genre but it gives gamers an idea of the gameplay than just saying "it's a fighting game"
If I didn't already own Death's Door, I would be "looking forward" to it. I would say it is at least the highlight of the month. Dreams interests me but not by a lot
@Jaz007 not really, the title basically means "Here is a sailing game to tide you over until Ubisoft releases their possibly broken mess" and this one will probably play better already because it at least released on steam first
@Ken_Kaniff sadly I gotta agree. This game will possibly lose its audience in 2 months once Starfield releases on game pass and won't last longer into next year most likely

Got Alan Wake since it went on deep sale. I've heard Cocoon is an experience in of itself tho.

Re: Poll: Are You Playing Metaphor: ReFantazio?
I gotta wait a few days for my collector's edition but I'm definitely playing it once it's here
Re: Days Gone Director Roasts 'Small Game' Astro Bot PS5 for Deacon St John Cameo
@get2sammyb yeah really looking forward to a new live service game smh
Re: Days Gone Director Roasts 'Small Game' Astro Bot PS5 for Deacon St John Cameo
Over 100 million for Concord but we couldn't get Days Gone sequel. I'd be mad too
Re: Concord (PS5) - Live Service Debut Beats the Hate with Stellar Presentation and Good Gameplay

Nah I gotta finish FF VII Rebirth and then move onto Dragons Dogma 2.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth?
I'd personally give it a 9. I'm loving the combat and the retelling of the story and new mini games make it a worth while buy. I think the side quests are a bit of a chore though, they get kinda repetitive but it's a very tiny nitpick
Re: New PS Plus Extra, Premium Update Makes 13 More Games Available Now
Wow I haven't played Jet Moto 2 in years. I might get it for nostalgia
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Persona 3 Reload?
I would personally give it a 9. I feel the social links were done better in persona 5 and 4 since some of them at least gave you useful skills or buffs like the confidants and the social links in P4G mostly consisted of the actual party members. This time I'm just doing it for the EXP boost and I feel like I can just skip their dialogue (I don't though)
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Persona 3 Reload?
Loving it at the moment. The combat is way better and I'm glad they included the "baton pass" in this games combat

Re: Game of the Year: #1 - Marvel's Spider-Man 2
Look it was good but it wasn't THAT good. I actually feel the previous game was superior in some areas compared to the sequel

Are ya'll really about to put Spider-Man 2 ahead of BG3?

Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for September 2023?
@djlard yet you feel the need to ridicule others that are? Why? Trolling for the sake of trolling
Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for September 2023?
@General_Disarray tell that to djlard. They just sound like someone unhappy because they likely won't be able to play it.
Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for September 2023?
@djlard I can't help but think you wouldn't say that if the game was coming to playstation. Invisible borders don't bother me. Just give me enough space (pun intended) to run around and I'll be happy
Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for September 2023?
It's fine. Guess I can give Saints Row a playthrough but it won't come close to the first 2 games. Volition really screwed the pooch on that one. But at least I have Starfield to look forward to
Re: Rumour: PS Plus Essential Game for September 2023 Leaked Early

Re: Poll: Did You Buy Armored Core 6?
Sad the poll shows there is very little love for this fromsoft franchise. I've been playing it since last night and am LOVING IT
Re: Poll: Are You Sold on PlayStation Portal?
Such a waste of time and resources for a product nobody asked for
Re: Poll: Is 'Live Service' Becoming an Excuse to Release Unfinished Games?

If you like these kinds of games, there is another called King of Seas
Re: Exoprimal (PS5) - One of the Most Promising Online Co-Op Shooters in Eons
@Ken_Kaniff sadly I gotta agree. This game will possibly lose its audience in 2 months once Starfield releases on game pass and won't last longer into next year most likely
Re: Exoprimal (PS5) - One of the Most Promising Online Co-Op Shooters in Eons
That sounds like a fair score but I would recommend playing it via game pass if you can. It's fun but not $60 fun
Re: Hands On: Exoprimal PS5, PS4 Shows Early Promise, But May Not Have Staying Power
@Cashews that game is also free to play
Re: Hands On: Exoprimal PS5, PS4 Shows Early Promise, But May Not Have Staying Power
It'll likely be shut down by the beginning of next year. Remember Babylons Fall?
