Re: PS Plus January 2021 PS5, PS4 Games Announced

MrSensical

Been wanting to play Maneater so bad!! Sucks massively for anyone that actually bought the PS5 version though and didn't wait 2 months for it to become free.

Very excited to try Greedfall too, seems janky but I have a soft spot for unpolished AA games of its type.

Re: Rumour: Persona 5 Scramble Is Getting an English Release in February 2021

@TheFrenchiestFry I mean, the PS2 games were like well over 10 years ago and were before Persona really blew up, but I didn't remember that about PQ2 at all until you said that haha. Notable also though is that game didn't have an English dub which would've sped up the process I imagine? Idk, maybe Atlus wanted to announce this sooner but Covid interfered with plans. Either way, hype.

Re: PS5 Launch Games Have 'No Comparison' to PS4, PS3 Line-Up, Says Sony

MrSensical

"steadily, carefully planned organic growth" it's not so organic then if it's been planned so much, is it? 😂 Weird corporatespeak aside, he's right that the PS5 launch is leaps and bounds ahead of Sony's launch offerings all the times before! It seriously feels like there's something for everyone and not one Sony game looks like it's dropping the ball.

Re: Soapbox: Screw Sony's PS5 Game Pricing, I'll Just Wait for Sales

MrSensical

This article is pretty affirming, I'm glad I'm not alone here. Physical prices are bad enough but I cannot imagine going all-digital this gen and not even being able to sell the game you've paid $120AUD for after finishing it/obtaining the platinum.

I think Layden is 100% right in what he said back in June. Game budgets need to remain stable, lower, or just not exponentially grow as insanely as they have in the past decade because this is getting ridiculous for any consumer outside the US.

Re: The Last of Us 2 Is the Fastest Selling PS4 Exclusive Ever, Over 4 Million Sold in Three Days

@Matroska 100% this (your first comment). I'd be absolutely shocked if Horizon FW or GoW 2 beat this record and that's because the install base won't be nearly as high with PS5, it certainly won't by the time the former game releases in 2021, we'll see about the latter though.

Major congrats to Naughty Dog though, the game deserves it, absurdly fantastic. PS4's had some real masterpieces (and I sincerely believe this game is one) this year from Dreams, P5R, and now this. Absolutely phenomenal.

Re: SpongeBob Rehydrated's Brand New Multiplayer Shown Off in New Video

MrSensical

Cannot wait for PS5 to allow us to choose which parts of a game we want downloaded. Call me cynical but I don't think I'll be touching this mode at all. My excitement for this game is sky high but this mode just doesn't do it for me. I wish they'd done something splitscreen instead, preferably with platforming as that's where the game's strengths are. Regardless, June 23rd can't come soon enough, wanna platinum this game badly.

Re: Project CARS 3 Cuts Corners on PS4 This Summer

MrSensical

Is this just a thing with racing games now, announcing them only a month or 2 before release? I seem to remember NFS Heat being announced mid-August and releasing in like November the same year. These are some crazy quick marketing cycles.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 311

MrSensical

Dreams. Just Dreams. Feels amazing to finally play a story mode from Mm again because their campaigns are truly unlike anything else in the industry, charm oozing out their pores and a strange but compelling sense of British twee. Played around half of Art's Dream, I'm trying to soak it in and take it slow but I'm definitely hooked. And lord, don't even get me started on the user-created stuff. This game is something special, far beyond the already insane standard of the studio's past catalogue.
