Re: UK Sales Charts: Death Stranding Slips Yet Further as the Top 10 Holds Steady

MS7000

I still need to buy this and play, but admittedly, I haven't yet done so because I am unsure if it would be worth my paying full price for it especially since PS4 games do seem to go down in price reasonably quick. It does seem to have difficulty getting people's attention though now that it has launched.

@carlos82 That was probably videogamedunkey you saw. Most of the time I find what he says quite useful, and the jabs he gives games are normally on point though I do occasionally disagree with a few things he says. I can't vouch for the death stranding video, as I purposely stay away from videos of new games that I may want to play.

Re: Sony's in the Firing Line as Its Latest Japanese Ad Reportedly Plagiarises Animation from Multiple Sources

MS7000

It is a pity that he wasn't vetted before hand since it is mentioned that other works were plagiarised, but to be fair, that could of been discovered at the same time as this trailer so it may not have been possible.

Still, these things happen; you only have to look at IGN for example with what happened with the Dead Cells review, it is all in how they respond I suppose, and Sony have removed the offending video so hopefully it will be ok.

Re: Sony Unlikely to Receive Competition From Microsoft in VR Space Next-Gen

MS7000

I feel like his comment may not be the most informed since it does appear to be selling, but to be fair I don't have any interest in VR, at least not enough to spend £250 on it so I'm thinking that he feels most people will not want to spend extra on a VR peripheral. They are probably also nervous about inflating console price with peripherals given the whole Kinect situation with Xbox One.

Re: Random: Trophy Hunter Creates Mural Dedicated to His Past 200 Platinums

MS7000

Don't have too many. Currently Level 13 with 13 platinums. Most of my ones are fairly easy, but can be time consuming:

Persona 4: Dancing All Night (PSVita)
Persona 3: Dancing in Moonlight
Persona 4: Dancing All Night (PS4)
Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition
Yakuza Kiwami 2
Marvel's Spider Man
Zero Escape: The Nonary Games
Zero Time Dilemma
Spyro: Reignited Trilogy (3 platinums)
Rayman Legends

Kiwami 2 was probably the hardest, but Rayman Legends was the most time consuming due to the stupid awesomeness level.

Edit: Very close to platinums in other games such as Dragon Quest 11, Persona 5, and Yakuza 0.

Edit 2: Actually, not 13, but 14. Forgot that I recently got platinum on Danganronpa: Ultra Despair Girls.

Re: Persona 5 Royal Leaps Straight to the Top of the Sales Charts in Japan

MS7000

For what is essentially the same game with multiple improvements and extras, it has done fairly well for itself. From what I have seen, I have never seen remakes or the like normally do that well in Japan, mind you, that could just be the games I've seen I suppose.

Either way, a release date over here would be nice.

Re: PS Plus Has an All-Time High Number of Active Subscribers

MS7000

"It’s worth mentioning that with the PlayStation 4 now commanding an install base of over 100 million units – the second highest for a home console of all-time – this means that approximately a third are signed up to the service"

It would not surprise me if the statistic is closer to half based on people who have double-dipped for the Pro such as myself. But then again, active users also factor into it. Congrats to Sony either way. I have still not signed up to it ever as I still don't think it is good enough for me but that just may be me being unreasonable given this news.

Re: EU PlayStation Store Halloween Sale Has Plenty of PS4 Treats

MS7000

Just looked at Fallout 4 season pass as I own it on disc, and it is £25, meanwhile Fallout 4 G.O.T.Y is £20 which includes all the DLC... what the hell?

Edit: Just did a quick search as well on Amazon and Fallout 4 G.O.T.Y edition is £15 at the moment... I suppose it is a case of whether you want the convenience of digital versus the security of physical.

Re: Bloodborne Is the Best Souls Game, and Even Souls Creator Knows It

MS7000

@taylorsparks294 Was doing okay until I met Father Gascoigne. He moves quite a bit faster than the others before him. Not sure if I suck or if there is a gimmick I am missing.

@Flaming_Kaiser I am liking it so far as well, it certainly controls better than what I have played of Dark Souls although I feel like I am looping around a lot when exploring.

Re: Rumour: PS5 Will Come With a Camera to 'Lure' Streamers

MS7000

Probably me overreacting, but this just screams that PS5 is going to be stupidly expensive at launch. I already feel nervous about putting down £300 for a console, let alone £400-£500 that I keep hear being thrown around, so I get real nervous everytime I hear about something that could raise the price.

If they are indeed planning this, I hope they offer an alternative bundle for cheaper without the camera, otherwise it may be a very long time until I buy a PS5. Not in a rush to be fair, I have plenty of PS4 games to play still.

Re: Shenmue III's PC Demo Is the Nostalgia Hit You Need Today

MS7000

@hulkie Just been trying to find out if it can be disabled, but the website for Shenmue 3 does not appear to say anything, and I cannot find any tweets/messages from the developers saying if this is possible. It may be a case of waiting until closer to the time unfortunately.

Re: Reaction: Unrealistic Expectations Mar Sony's Best State of Play So Far

MS7000

My personal issue was that with the games announced, I had no clue what was actually meant to be happening in them. Humanity for example, it was not entirely clear to me what was actually happening. I just saw two hoardes of zombies (based on how they moved and fell) running into each other. Wattam is a similar case.

Arise: A Simple Story whilst looking pretty, did not really get me interested in wanting to know more. For some reason, it feels like similar games with the same idea have already been made.

VR was irrelevant, although that is on me rather than Sony due to personal preferences.

The Last of Us 2, and I know I am going to get downvoted for this, but honestly, I could not care less. I did not like the ending to the first one, and even then, didn't feel like it needed a sequel.

The only real thing that I found good was a demo for MediEvil and announcement for Civ VI being released. Although I have never played MediEvil, the fact that there is a demo makes me interested in trying it out. Civ VI was a genuine surprise which I wasn't expecting.

In short, I think the big issue for me is that what was shown was either something we already knew about, or was not well explained with no real surprises at all. Perhaps for me it would of been best to wait until they start talking about the PS5.
