Re: Hot Wheels: Infinite Rush Is Drifting onto PS5 Earlier Than Expected

Mes_Urson

Loved the first two unleashed games.
This looks right up my street again too! Hopefully this is a refreshing blast again too. Loved the track editor too so hope that makes a return. I made over 100+ tracks on Unleashed 2.
Glad its coming early and theres a discount for the ultimate version on the store. might be tempted to bite the bullet on that!

Re: 'Sony Knows a $1,000 PS6 Won't Sell as Much': Analyst on Manufacturer's Plan to Maximise Revenue

Mes_Urson

They need to address peoples previous catalogue of games really. Disc drive or no disc drive.
Granted, when they announce the PS6 if they choose not to address this issue will only further upset people.
However, i dont agree with gaming being for the elite at an expense only affordable by the few. This is just ridiculous and asking for a collapse in the industry. Who's to say or define the "Hardcore gamer" seriously. This is an ambiguous term to say the least

Re: Dev Accused of Ripping Off Monster Hunter Speaks Out, Says Capcom's Series Is an 'Inspiration'

Mes_Urson

I was kind of diggin' it until i saw the character models. They dont look completely in tone with the game.
The monsters look fantastic but them characters look like they belong in something else. Also, was wondering what the sword play would be like but this does look a bit jank. Not sure if i like the Pokemon capture idea either too!
Will wait and see how this plays out. I'm always up for more monster hunter-esque stuff but I cant be sure on this one

Re: Poll: $1,000 and No Disc Drive - Is PS6 Dead on Arrival?

Mes_Urson

It really could be the difference at Xmas or Birthday where people turn around and say I want a Switch 2 instead of a PS6.
That price point is such a sore subject and the same with Digital only stance on things.
At this stage, Sony's silence is only hurting them more too

Re: PlayStation Consoles to Stop Getting Disc-Based Physical Releases in 2028

Mes_Urson

While it sucks in one regard i think we all saw this coming one day eventually.
I do like the convenience of digital but we should still have options too. Maybe something like CDkeys or online retailers can still offer their discounts on games.
I best not have to repurchase PS4 and PS5 games though. That would be an epic fail if Sony dont sort that out!

Re: Price Hiked PS5 Endures Sony's Worst May in Over 25 Years

Mes_Urson

I had a feeling people would dig their heels in. Makes perfect sense. Unfortunately billion dollar companies sometimes need to take the hit on things for the sake of saving face.
They can pass on as much costs as they want but eventually you'll price us all out.
While I do love my PS5 and gaming, this generation sucks. I've never felt so disillusioned and demoralised by gaming.
Maybe take a few on the chin Sony. Show us some good will again like the eventual PS3 and PS4 days

Re: Bungie Confirms Studio Layoffs After Destiny 2 Content Ends

Mes_Urson

Sorry to hear about anyone losing their jobs regardless of successful games or not. Bungie haven't really appealed to me since Halo but I wouldn't see anyone lose their job.
fingers crossed these people find new work ASAP and other studios snap them up quickly. Its always a shame they cut the people at the bottom rather than a CEO taking a small pay cut

Re: Mini Review: Dead or Alive 6: Last Round (PS5) - Dead on Arrival

Mes_Urson

Disappointed. This was their opportunity to inject some life back into DOA and they seem to of missed the ball completely.
By the sounds of it, the combat is decent enough but the fact theyve got you re-purchasing DLC and dropping loads of money again. Just seems like a cash grab. Gutted. I hoped Koei/Tecmo would do better by now.

Re: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, Shinobi: Art of Vengeance Sell Below SEGA's Expectations

Mes_Urson

I do like Sonic Crossworlds. It was a lot of fun at the beginning but there just isnt enough single player content to keep me coming back. I'm glad it got another DLC pack coming.
To me, theres just something off. It hasnt quite captured the magic of the all star racing series or transformed.
I'd definitely give shinobi a go but the backlog is still pretty large at the moment

Re: Opinion: The PS6 Cannot Come Out in This Era of $1,000+ Consoles

Mes_Urson

@Slayer25c @twitchtvpat Because we are on a playstation website which is a Sony property? I'm not naïve enough to just think it was Sony. This is the topic of the article and where my interests lie. I know Microsoft are doing the dirty too but I don't own nor care.
I know the whole industry is in tatters and we all are in the middle of cost of living crisis. I'm not trying to throw shade. I'm just voicing my opinion and as a long time gamer and fan I want to see us all be able to play these games and discuss. Not be priced out of hobby that we all enjoy

Re: Opinion: The PS6 Cannot Come Out in This Era of $1,000+ Consoles

Mes_Urson

@get2sammyb While I usually would agree, I do think Sony has shown PS3 levels of thinking recently. Price increases, consoles being more expensive than what they were when they were first released. Game prices going up. PSplus going up. Sony being sued for not giving its fair prices on the store they are definitely showing some bad hands.
Of course, this is all in a turbulent economy where resources are going up and down. The problem is, they'll never come back down. They may do special offers or discounts but lets not pretend that it'll be just the original price or a small fraction off the already increase. There's levels of greed

Re: Opinion: The PS6 Cannot Come Out in This Era of $1,000+ Consoles

Mes_Urson

Times are so hard. I couldn't justify £1000+ on a gaming console. Hell, I couldn't justify £700 or £800. It's just too much. Times are so harsh at the moment and everything is so damn expensive it would be silly to buy something (even if I'll get my monies worth) that's so expensive right now. Sony, if you're reading this be smart. Not greedy. I won't hold my breathe though
