Re: Weapons in Dead Island 2 Will Degrade with Use, But Dev Explains 'We’re Generous with It'

NoCode23

Weapon degrading in DI and Rip Tide are not bad as weapons have unlimited repairs. Rip Tide is best with purchasable repair material and ammo crafting for shotguns and rifles that are effective unlike the near useless shotguns and rifles in DI along with no ammo crafting.

So hopefully DI 2 is like Rip Tide. Maybe also an easy, and solo, duplication trick like DI and Rip Tide have.

Re: Once Considered a PlayStation Competitor, Google Stadia Is Shutting Down

NoCode23

Add me to the list that had completely forgotten the product Stadia.

Game streaming is for sub services, but still needs the option to download for superior performance. Also games need to have the dlc available. No matter how well a game like Fallout 3 may stream it is just half of the game without its dlc.

As for subservices like Premium why are screen shots and video capture not available while streaming? So disappointing not to be able to record funny moments in Fallout 3 and Saints Row 2.

Re: Best PS4 Games

NoCode23

@Jaberwocky, an old, but true saying goes something like this; " In matters of taste there is no argument". What is also true is that on this list AC Black Flag, a good all new game, lost to Journey, a good game, but a port from PS3.

Re: Ubisoft Seems to Think Far Cry 6 Was Game of the Year

NoCode23

FC 6 is the first FC game I have no desire to replay. It does have some fun, an interesting map, and looks and performs well on my PRO. However midway I started to lose interest, hit a wall, and then took a month break before finishing so I could delete it.

Overall I did not much like the story or the characters. About midway I wanted to ditch the Libertards and switch sides. The auto switch from first person to third person when entering a camp is very annoying and there is a loooong lag for the world map to appear after selecting it. Then there is the annoying ammo type function that for some reason had to be changed from the system in FC 5.

Re: Best PS4 Games

NoCode23

A list of 50 is too short when remasters, definitive editions, games listed twice, and so many Final Fantasy games are going to be included. Remakes like Mafia and RE 2,3 are ok as those are essentially new games.

Re: Poll: Rate Your Favourite PS4 Games

NoCode23

Some PS4 favorites, not in any particular order.

Fallout 4
Far Cry 4 & 5
Handsome Jack Collection
RE Revelations 2
Dying Light
RE 2 & 3 remakes
Edith Finch
Mafia remake
Red Dead 2 online.
Lady In A Leotard With A Gun. It was on sale for 24 cents plus 1cent tax.🤪

Re: Resident Evil Village Looks Like a New Game in Third-Person

NoCode23

I have not played Village, but I liked fp in RE7 that has small interiors. For me first or third view is about camera placement and fov. 3p in previous RE games have all felt good to me, camera view and fov.

GTA and RDR2 are 3p but have 3 camera distances along with 2 height views while driving, and all have good fov. Fp in GTA5 and RDR2 offer an fov slider but the camera is too far forward when driving, and overall feels clumsy in fp compared to fp in other games like Far Cry and Borderlands.

First person games need an fov slider. The camera also needs pulled back some to feel more natural and not like my eyes are forward my head. Most games on consoles do not off fov or any other camera/view options. With an fov option along with a pulled back camera fp may be liked by more. Borderlands is much better at 85% or 90% instead of the narrow 65%.

The best for me has been the Fallout and Elder Scroll games where going from fp to 3p is one button press, feels natural in either, has a 3p distance slider, and a good fov without a slider.

Re: Latest PS5 Firmware Available Now, Adds Folders, 1440p Support, Much More

NoCode23

@sanderson72, PS4 10.0? Yea still no mention on this site about 10.0 ??? What is interesting is that both PS4 and PS5 received the same updates to zooming the web browser and remote play. Could it be the PS5 will have a real browser added?

The PS5 has an unofficial brower that needs tricks to use, and supposedly nobody uses the PS4 browser. So 9 years after the PS4 was released a really usefull zoom update was added to a web browser that nobody uses. Well i use the PS4 web browser and the improved zooming is very useful for me, thanks Sony.

Re: PS Plus Essential, Extra, and Premium PS5, PS4 Games for September 2022 All Announced

NoCode23

NFS and Deathloop are good additions and along with Extra and Premium there are lots of games for me to play now on my PRO. However in the next 6-12 months how many and of what quality of PS2 and PS3 games will be added?

Then there is streaming. Will there ever be an option to download any game? Also why no screen shots or video capture of games being streamed? Is it because it is considered an app and apps are blocked from screen capture? If so is it impossible to unblock an app individually?

Re: UK Sales Charts: Saints Row Claims the Throne, Sells Best on PS5

NoCode23

Woke, not woke, in a coma, whatever, I just don't think I will ever take a liking to those four gangsta geeks/Malibu's most wanted characters.. Maybe it's my age, 25+, and maybe playing the game will change my mind.

I streamed SR2 for a few hours yesterday. Still lots of fun 14 years later from my first play.

Re: Reaction: PS5 Price Hike a Sobering Sign of the Times

NoCode23

@Polybius84, that is interesting comparisons. However the inflation rate so far this year, USA is the most it has been in 40 years. Not since the high inflation from 1978-82. Also the UK inflation rate is at a 40 year high.

In many ways we are not in the best of times with shortages and price increases possibly becoming the new normal.

Re: Reaction: PS5 Price Hike a Sobering Sign of the Times

NoCode23

My 3 PS2's, 2 PS3's, and 2 PS4's were all purchases off the shelf. The PS3's were original retail price, the PS2's were price drop, and the PS4's were Xmas sale priced and bundled with a game. Yes, yes, yes, I just walked right in and picked one off a shelf, that's a fact.

Those were the days my friend, I thought they would never end.

Re: Goat Simulator 3's PS5 Gameplay Ain't Kiddin' Around

NoCode23

I love Goat Sim on my PS3. However not on my PS4 where there is camera motion blur and haze and dof blur in the distance. The distance is close in the small map. GS3 looks the same with sharp and clear up close with haze and dof blur in anything distant. I'll pass on getting a headache.

Re: Poll: Is PS Plus Premium Good Enough?

NoCode23

Combine premium with extra for the price of extra, at least until if and when a real premium tier can be offered. As it is now those two tiers are confusing, puts Mafia 2 definitive in premium and not extra, not enough PS2,3 games, and no dlc support.

Next month I will drop down to extra and upgrade back to premium when more, and good, games are added.

Re: GTA 6 Will Set 'Creative Benchmarks' for All Entertainment

NoCode23

WOW!!! GTA6 will set 'creative benchmarks' for ALL entertainment. Say what? There has not even been one trailer released yet.

My hope for 6 is for a story as good as 5, no back stepping in fun like 4 was to SA, mooore interiors, lots of quality of life improvements, and lots of fun surprises. Also options for motion blur, dof blur, and fov.

And yes, toggle to run. Crouching. First person play that feels natural like Fallout, Borderlands, and Far Cry, and not all wobbly like GTA5, lots more good clear weather, a good photo mode, and a car/garage system like GTA5 online. A short list of improvements I hope to find in 6 over 5.

Re: Press X for Trophies Is a Sad Indictment of PS5, PS4 Today

NoCode23

For me price, under $5, is a quick filter along with any screen shots or video provided.

To each their own. Spend $60 for one game where a platinum is of little or no priority, or $60 for 15 or more easy platinums? To each their own.

Overall I like trophies if I like the game as trophies can add challenges I may enjoy. Trophies also provide my game history along with providing feedback to game developers. Viewing other players list is interesting and can reveal platinum quality over quantity.

Re: Play Far Cry 6, Including Its DLC, for Free This Weekend

NoCode23

I like FC 3,4,5 a lot, but 6 only a little. The game does have some moments and performed well on my PRO. Overall the first quarter was good, quarters 2,3 I wondered when the game is going to get better, and the last quarter of can't waiting for it to end so I can delete the large file. I did not play any of the dlc.

Also, by mid game I lost interest in the Libertards, the good guys I joined to help. If given the option I may have defected to the other side.

Re: Rumour: Dead Island 2 to Be Re-Revealed in 2022, The Game Awards Would 'Make a Lot of Sense'

NoCode23

@Rambolike, that reveal trailer you posted a link to is from E3 2014. Iconic and epic for sure. At first I thought, is that Vespucci Beach, is this a GTA 5 sp dlc? Not and No.

No DI2 has been disappointing, but Dying Light+dlc has provided the zombie mayhem I was hoping for in DI2. However I am still hyped for a zombies running amuck at the beach with me, The Zombinator, saving the day.

Re: Rumour: Dead Island 2 to Be Re-Revealed in 2022, The Game Awards Would 'Make a Lot of Sense'

NoCode23

Could be? Coooould be? I am definitely interested in DI2, but after all these years since viewing the teaser during E3 2014 I am not much interested in "could be's". No bigger turn off then dragging out game releases.

I enjoyed DI and Riptide on PS3 and PS4. Riptide was fun in that it offered a good gun play option, especially if playing as Purna. DI had firearms but were weak and useless. Riptide has ammo crafting and effective shotguns.

Re: Sony Coy on Potential PS5 Price Increase

NoCode23

Should the current high inflation continue into next year a price hike of PS5 would not surprise me. In times of high inflation most everything have price increases. Hopefully this current high inflation does not extend into 2023 and 2024.

Re: Our Survey Says! Sorry, Gaming Isn't Good for You After All

NoCode23

I play video games everyday, somedays 8+ hours, and i feel fine doing so. However there are some days that i feel fine and also dandy while playing, but those days are less frequent and usually involve something like playing as Trevor and messing with the inhabitants of Los Santos for an hour or two.

Re: Round Up: Resident Evil Netflix TV Show Reviews Are All Over the Place

NoCode23

I watched the first episode and it's ok so far. It is after all a movie of a video game which I always vision should then be a parody/comedy. The big bug popping out from under the pavement I found more comedy than horror and flashed me back to the many silly "Tremors" movies. I will watch at least one more episode.

One thing I like from watching the first episode is the cinematography and also that it is not in a panoramic 2.40:1, or wider, ratio.
