Re: Talking Point: Should All Games Have an Easy Mode?

MaseSco

With the state of todays games, I don't think they should have an "easy" mode. I find "normal" easy enough and quite boring sometimes as there's no thinking required. It's just "go here", "shoot this" - no actual input from the player. Games today have too much hand holding and the games themselves don't offer any challenge and aren't really worthy of being called games. A game is a game when a challenge is presented.
The original Tomb Raider games are a good example of how I view what games should be like. Challenging but definitely beatable if you're willing to put the effort in.
To me, an easy mode is the tutorial to the game.

Re: Soapbox: Sony's Server Shutdown Strategy Is Making the Publisher a Laughing Stock

MaseSco

For me, Sony are becoming arrogant and remind me of 90's Sega in a way. I've lost all faith in Playstation and won't be buying anymore games for my Playstation, especially when I can play online for free on any game I choose on Steam (where possible).

Even my Wii U still has servers I can play on which I commend Nintendo and the third parties for despite the lack of sales.

Re: Gran Turismo Sport Adds More Complimentary Cars on 5th March

@Marios-love-child I completely agree. I loved GT2 and worked towards getting my Mustang SVT & upgrading it to the racing version. That was easily the best/fastest 394bhp car in the game. The race tracks were absolutely ace too and GT3 was also great. After those, GT was never the same for me.
I just wish GT Sport updates & includes the GT2 tracks.

Re: EA Says Battlefield V Didn't Meet Sales Expectations, Despite Topping 7 Million Copies

MaseSco

I've played Battlefield 1 since BF1942 and I disliked it - my other half loved it. I preferred watching her play through the SP - I'll get BFV after December this year as I always then to dive in a year later as it's been on my radar for a while.

On a side note, 7.3m copies were maybe disappointing vs the production cost? Seemed like the cost of this type of game isn't cheap....

Re: Sony Could At the Very Least Remember to Refresh PS Vita's Store

MaseSco

@get2sammyb I agree with your article. It's definitely been a while since they've updated it. The Vita used to have the Sales updated but hasn't since January (might've been before, but they def had one at Christmas).
Now I have to go to the web based store to see if any software has been discounted lol
