Re: Rumour: God of War Is Taking a 'Younger' Kratos Back to Greece

Nem

By younger... does he mean younger than in the reboot? Or younger than that? Cause we have had Ascencion and chains of Olympus predating the first game already.

I think I would prefer a story with the Egyptian gods in between the original trilogy and the reboot. But whatever. I'm sure they will sort it out.

Re: Here's When Monster Hunter Wilds' Extended PS5 Beta Will End

Nem

@DennisReynolds Yeah... the final release is also full price and there's no guarantees they will follow though with that promise.
So... it's best to wait and see but tbh I was not impressed with the game itself.
I think I will wait for the next one. I much preferred Rise Sunbreak to world iceborne.

Re: Embattled US Retailer Trolls Customers for Picking Digital During PSN Outage on PS5, PS4

Nem

@rvk5150 It won't be able to update, obviously. But, if it's already installed it will be updated and fine.
If you delete it and install from the disc again then it won't be updated and your saves will not be compatible. You have to start over. But, it will work. A digital copy needs periodic verification and will stop working when it can't.
Unless, of course, if a firmware update changes that. Naturally, you can't delete it either because if you can't redownload it it will be lost forever.

Re: Original Dragon Age Writer Responds to EA's Live Service Obsession with Common Sense

Nem

Putting the bar at baldurs gate 3 is what killed veilguard sales.
EA shipped a complete, polished single player game without micro transactions and people couldn't value that.
Of course EA will turn back to live services. People have literally told them that with their wallets.
A Larian like aproach of 6 years of development is not on the table.

This was a shot on the foot for fans. Had veilguard made expectations, feedback could have been taken into account for the next game. Now, there is no more devs and no more dragon age.

Re: Fans Are Buying Fewer Boxed Video Games Than Ever in the US

Nem

It also shows why the market isn't growing.
Covid had a nasty effect and publishers incentive you not to go out and buy.
But at the end if the day, you need to buy a physical console. Not having a presence on retail will prevent the capture of casuals and free advertisement that provides. It's a big mistake to pigeon hole on digital.

Personally, if retail stops existing and the ps shop is the only way to aquire games it's probably the day i will abandon playstation cause that will be a monopoly and extremely consumer unfriendly.

Re: Dragon Age: The Veilguard Support Could Be Over Already as Patch 5 Drops on PS5

Nem

It really sucks if they don't patch in some sort of new game+. At least the nug like inquisition had for the cosmetics to carry over.
Some more save slots would be appreciated too.
The game is great and i love it but these constrictions are baffling.

A blood splatter toggle would be cool too, but i don't hard need it. It would just be nice.

Gottal lol at people here saying "oh no there is no dlc". The game is complete. Doesn't need dlc. Every game should be like this.

Re: Poll: How Would You Have Reacted to a Live Service God of War Announcement?

Nem

@nomither6 That is not a conclusion you can make from these polls.
We had to choose one option. I would prefer the series to continue, so i voted for a new one. Doesn't mean i wouldn't like to see remakes of the earlier games. But, i couldn’t pick both.

The option of the remakes in this poll means: Are you done with the series and are only willing to revisit earlier titles? That is what you got in those 17%.

Re: Dragon Age: The Veilguard Director Is Leaving BioWare

Nem

@RagnarLothbrok It would be absolutely crazy if they closed Bioware after this game. It is a high quality game. Some people may have issue with the writing but from a technical and design level the game is almost flawless. It would be insane to just fire the team that made it in the last 2 years.
Unless this was made at Austin or something.
