Re: Sony Is Releasing Official PS5 Console Covers in 2022

NoCode23

@ Nexozi no i do not want an XBOX. I want a PS5 that is smaller, already black, and has a web browser. The current XBOX checks those boxes and does so at the same price as a PS5.

As for a web browser on a console. Why not? For a lot of basic info on sports, weather, news, game info, and google searches my PS4 browser is easy and convenient. I am using my PS4 browser now while a game i am playing is paused.

Let me know when i can get a black PS5 without having to pay an extra 55 bucks. On second thought let me know when i can get a slimmer black PS5 at no extra cost. On third thought a slimmer black PS5 with a web browser at no extra cost, you know like the current XBOX.

Re: Original GTA Games to Be Restored on PC, But No Word on PS Store

NoCode23

So with GTA fans having high desire for GTA 6 we get remasters of PS2 GTA games. Were there that many fans loudly voicing for these remasters? PS2 gen games need remakes not remasters like the Mafia remake. A remake of Vice City released this year or next would be much better than this trilogy remaster released this year instead.

And yes definitely return the originals to the PSN store.

Re: Hands On: Is the GTA Trilogy Really That Bad on PS5, PS4?

NoCode23

@Ghostngoblins, Rain and other weather/atmosphere effects are ok in video games if....If those effects are done well, not overdone, and certainly do not unnecessarily make a game annoying to impossible to play.

I could really go on a long rant about annoying weather and atmosphere effects in video game.. Some GTA games, RDR2, and Fallout 4 would be good examples. Thankfully GTA games provide built in weather codes . GTA4 is one GTA game that allows trophies if weather codes are used.

RDR2 online has been fun, but has annoying weather effects . Clear weather only about 15% of the time at most as clear and sunny turns to haze, fog, or sand storms in 3 minutes. Unfortunately there is no code to imput to clear the weather so i can actually see and then be able to actually play the game.

Re: Soapbox: Please Don't Let GTA 4 Rot on PS3, Rockstar

NoCode23

GTA4 is my least favorite GTA game from PS2 to present. Poor graphics on the PS3 and overall lacking and disappoining. A remaster of TBOGT with improved car and motorcycle handling and at 60fps is all i would care to replay.

Like with the coming Trilogy remaster i rather hear about and play something new. Like freaking GTA 666666666666666666!

Re: Skyrim Anniversary Edition Upgrade Prices Revealed

NoCode23

My concern is how this may effect the performance of the game. I have been thinking of a replay, disk copy, and as the game is now it has played smooth on my Pro, has a small file size, and i only use a couple of mods for good weather and no god rays.

Re: GTA Online Weekly Update: 4th November, 2021

NoCode23

I love this game, online and story mode, but i can only play for about 5 minutes now before i get annoyed because of the need to tap X to run.

It is really jarring coming from toggle to run to tap tap tap tap and tap tap tap tap to keep running. Making it even worse now is Far Cry 6 which offers just pressing the L stick forward to run with no need to toggle another button.

Red Dead Online has X for run and can be toggled instead of holding or tapping to run. However tapping X is stilled need to make your horse gallop.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 399

NoCode23

Far Cry 6 on PS4 Pro. I am still on the first island holding back doing missions to explore to find weapons and materials needed to upgrade the weapons. I have one amigo, the gator, and the amount he helps varies from a little to a lot.

So far the game looks great, good frame rates, and the settings options are more than most console games have. Motion blur off, yes! That said there is still too small of text like when reading the letters and notes that are left in various locations. Using the PS4 zoom helps big. However subtitle size can be set larger and as white on a black background. Excellent!

My limited time with FC6 has me thinking i will end up enjoying FC5 more. FC6 may have a more varied map and more settings options, and look great with smooth frame rates, but FC5 will probably overall be more fun and with a more snappy play feel. More snappy as FC6 feels slow with button responses, especially bringing up the world map. I tried bluetooth and usb connections. Maybe a future patch will fix the button lag along with the silly low ammo carry limit and annoying process of using the photo mode.

Re: GTA Trilogy Has 'High-Res Textures, Increased Draw Distances, and GTA 5 Controls' on PS5, PS4

NoCode23

Controls? Please:

Custom mapping of buttons. Like in Borderlands 3
No tapping X to run. Press once to toggle run.

Less fidgety movement. Slow to faster walking depending how far forward the left stick is pushed with sprint a seperate selection for fastest.

Tap to do actions. No annoying press and hold for 5 seconds just to exit/enter a car or interior.

Hopefully Tommy and Claude have learned to swim a little, and hopefully there are some fun codes that the originals have. Codes like peds riot, cars on water, and recruit anyone.

Re: Video: Which Far Cry Game Is the Best?

NoCode23

My favorite to date is FC5. Plays and looks great on my PRO, big interesting map, fun companions, Peaches and Cheeseburger, the Arcade online mode, and the New Dawn expansion/dlc .

My choice may change after i play six. I have played all listed except six and BD.

FC3 plays and looks better on PS3 compared to the poor PS4 port. A remaster of FC3 would be nice for this fun game.

FC2 has its moments but i find it annoying and unplayable. The world is not really open which limits movement as i try to fight respawning enemies as my assault rifle jams after a few shots and i die. Adding more annoyance is no fast travel between safe houses.

FC4 is my second to FC5. Interesting map and i can ride elephants.

Primal i rented and never finished or purchased. It has different and fun going for it, but not the graphics. I hate the washed out, god ray volumetric lighting mess that made my eyes hurt.

FC Classic on PS3 is a classic that i still find fun to play. The PS3 version also looks and plays well.

Re: Poll: Did You Buy Far Cry 6?

NoCode23

@ Toypop, how is the ammo system annoying? Is it because specific ammo types are needed for certain enemies with other ammo types being useless, and that multiple ammo types can not be carried at the same time?

A review i watched mentioned specific ammo types and how it could be annoying. Hopefully an annoying ammo system will be fixed in a patch.

Re: Feature: 12 PS5 Firmware Updates We Want to See

NoCode23

1, Shapeshifting app to optionally reshape the PS5. Matt black rectangular box shape is my choice.

2, all of the choices given here as most wanted.

3, I am a member of the console web brower users anonymous. I am using the PS4 browser now. No little phone/ tablet screen, i am viewing on a big tv screen using a DS4 to type. It' so easy and so convenient.

The X Box Series X & S were released with a browser and received a new updated browser this month.

Re: PS4 Users Report Issues After Downloading Firmware Update 9.00

NoCode23

@ Sawako, The same thing happened to me this past weekend and maybe a year ago. It happend on my PRO which is not registered as my primary PS4. My fix was turning my system off then back on. No more messages, no 15 min. warning.

I always do a wait and see before i download a firmware update, and never download non mandatory updates. One non mandatory PS4 update 2-3 year ago caused problems that required a patch to fix.

Re: GTA 5 Is One of the Most Disliked PS5 Trailers Ever

NoCode23

For me it was not about the graphics. I gave 2 thumbs down to the lack of presentation and mention of new content. Specifically, SIGNIFICANT NEW CONTENT. Better graphics and performance? Well, duh, it should be if it a PS5 upgraded version of a PS3 game.

Re: GTA 5 Fans Are Not Happy with Expanded & Enhanced's PS5 Reveal

NoCode23

Epic facepalm moment was my reaction to that GTA 5 video yesterday.

I will hold my final judgement to when the details are released of the PS5 version.

As for graphics GTA 5 looks very good on my PRO when the weather and atmosphere are clear. Like when online and in a car race and sunny and bright is selected. Eveything looks sharp with good color. However it seems that 90% of the time, on and off line, the visual quality is reduced, some or a lot, by Rockstar's GTA weather/atmosphere/ blur effects simulator guy. That guy's brother is the weather effects simulator guy for RDR2.

Re: Poll: What Do You Think of the New Saints Row?

NoCode23

Four middle class teens from the suburbs that just graduated from high school and are now bored. What to do? Get a McJob? No way!

Then as they sit in a coffee shop with faces buried into their iPhones one of the four, Urkel, giggles and suggests they should start a gang. All four unanimously squeal with excitement at how really awesomely cool that would be. Thus a gang is born.

Re: Dying Light 2 Stays Alive with Acrobatic Story Trailer

NoCode23

Almost Spider-Man parkour and human enemies reminiscent of Mad Max. Definitely does not look like the first Dying Light. That's probably good considering the vast number of hours i have played the first game. My hopes still remain high for DL2 to be a game that i can add to my favorites list.

Re: Dying Light 2 Schedules Gamescom Showcase for 26th August

NoCode23

I have high hopes for DL2. Starting with Dead Island the combat, story and map gets better to me with each new game.

Big pluses for DL2 would be higher ammo carry limit, ammo crafting, molotoves/explosives more effective, custom mapping of controller buttons, camera motion blur options, and fov options.

Re: Soapbox: GTA: San Andreas Is Still an Open World Classic

NoCode23

SA was a release day purchase for me. Right after work i hurried on down to my local Blockbuster. At home i was giddy as i removed the wrapping and put the disc in the tray of my PS2.

VC was a step up from GTA 3. San Andreas was a giant leap up from VC. Fond memories? Jet pack, basketball, riding bycycles, home burglaries, getting an Elvis haircut, the crazy car crashes on a particular hill in San Fierro, the Catalina missions, and the many hours of just messing around in free roam using the long list of codes. Peds riot and recruit anyone are fun codes to use.

Re: Talking Point: How Would You Improve PS Plus?

NoCode23

I picked other as i want a cheaper price, $20, for basic online play for those like me that are not interested in the games offered. The Plus discounts always seem to be for games i have, games that i don't want, or games i want but a physical copy instead of a digital copy.

Re: Rumour: GTA 3, Vice City, San Andreas Being Remastered for PS5, PS4 with 'New and Old Graphics'

NoCode23

I'll see it when i believe it. However if true then yea i will be like a little kid that can't wait for xmas and a new bycycle promised.

My pick would be Liberty City Stories for a remaster instead of GTA 3. I find LCS an overall better game that featured motorcycles, protagonist Toni Cipriani, better missions, fun replayable stuff, improved camera/movement and more. However new remasters would most likely feature the current camera and controls of GTA5.
