Re: Gungrave G.O.R.E. Is Getting a Full PS5 Remake Just 3 Years After Its Original Release

Northern_munkey

Well GoT got a ps5 remake in much shorter time but that was OK and wasn't TLOU2 upgraded for the ps5 in a relatively short time as well? Again that was OK too but a lesser game from a smaller studio gets a cheap jab from PS for giving its fans a native ps5 version after 3 years? The game is pretty good fun to be perfectly honest so I don't understand PS's negativity towards this..smacks of double standards.

Re: The Last of Us 2 Is Now Available on PS Plus Extra on PS5, PS4

@Rich33 I can see your point and respect your opinion. Its difficult to discuss something such as this without actually being able to hear what the other person is saying because context and nuance can be lost or words misinterpreted which leads to animosity and frustration. Its good to be able to discuss this topic with people such as yourself who don't get upset when somebody has a different opinion but I often find that certain people just can't or won't discuss things and refuse to see another angle.

@Rich33 "Woke is a good thing.
It helps people to understand different people, and that people are naturally different." I agree when it's applied properly and the context is there but unfortunately sometimes it feels as if you are being force fed others ideology and you are made to feel that your opinion does not matter. I think that from a technical point in terms of overall quality TLOU games knock it out of the ball park and really are excellent games for the fans but I personally find them boring and kind of depressing. Intergalactic looks as though its going to be another stormer for naughty dog but after seeing and reading exactly how the lead actress views the gamers that are not of a particular persuasion I decided I was not going to support a company who's quite happy for that person to say and post things that are quite frankly toxic and are things that myself and all of everybody else here would be censored for. Yeah wokeness can be a good thing but it can also be equally as vile as some of those who oppose it.
"When the human race as a whole accepts people for who they are, not what 'category' they fit into, the world will be a better place." 100% agree.

Re: Forza Horizon 6 Announced, But Not on PS5 at Launch

Northern_munkey

I love forza horizon 5 although I just tend to jump in and out of it at the moment. I'll most definitely purchase this as soon as its available but I do wish forza motorsport was ported instead as that would have been more up my street. At least I'll have project motorsport in November to whet my appetite for my sim racing needs. I recently installed drive club again and I'm just gobsmacked that Sony never wanted to make a native ps5 version for this but we all know why and that's because whilst GT7 is a pretty spectacular racing game drive club was superior in just about every department and Sony can't have that can they? They could have at least kept servers running for it..

@Oz_Who_Dat_Dare I'm aware sucker punch issued an apology about comments one of their employees (now fired) made about a recent incident and that goes some way to restoring a small percentage of good will from my personal perspective but...they are still associated with the lead actress and that is still a sticking point for me. There's no anger from me just disappointment. Anyway I hope everybody enjoys the game when it launches.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 599

Northern_munkey

My life long friend Chris is down at mine for the weekend and we are having an epic dirt rally 2.0 session..crazy fool brought his racing helmet and gloves etc..probably going to the pub this evening to consume a lot of guiness..have a belter of a weekend folks 👍. Oh @Kidfunkadelic83 I've just hit under 7 mins at sweet lamb on dirt 2.0 🤪

Re: PS5 Exclusive Ghost of Yotei Is Just Two Weeks Away, So Here's a Gorgeous Cinematic Trailer

Northern_munkey

@Oram77 @Oz_Who_Dat_Dare I don't do social media of any sort outside of the PS forums and YouTube. I don't need to go into the details as everything is very easy to find online. Now this is my personal standing and my own opinions and I don't expect people to agree with me and as far as I'm concerned this is as much as I'm willing to say on the matter mainly because some people (discounting you two) will not be as respectful in their questioning of my decision. Let others make their own minds up as I have.

Re: PS5 Exclusive Ghost of Yotei Is Just Two Weeks Away, So Here's a Gorgeous Cinematic Trailer

Northern_munkey

Along with intergalactic I have had all interest in this game diminished by the actors that portray the lead characters to the very rare point for me personally where I have to say that I won't be purchasing either game. I'm not advocating boycotting the games etc,etc,etc and I know both games will be great and I hope everybody who's been waiting for them enjoys them as much as I would have liked to but I just can't get past their comments and attitudes towards the gamers that will be lining their pockets.

Re: Nerfed PS5 Console Silently Releases with Less Storage Space

Northern_munkey

@S1ayeR74 no I was asking what right do you have to criticise what people decide to purchase without fear of being called shills. I am no Sony shill (they offer nothing to me at all for me to defend them) and I often criticise their digital pricing of games etc. You say I defend Sony blindly without question which would make me a sycophant...not a shill. Keep dodging the actual question I asked of you so you feel good and justified in your attack on fellow gamers..

Re: Nerfed PS5 Console Silently Releases with Less Storage Space

Northern_munkey

@S1ayeR74 so which ps5 console do you own? Original full fat version? Digital only? Slim? Ps5 Pro? It's easy to stand there and call people shills but you obviously bought a ps5 either at launch which means you got it when it was the cheaper version or you've bought one further on down the road which makes you one of those "shills" you are calling fellow gamers. Why can't people discuss things without having to be insulting anymore?

Re: Nerfed PS5 Console Silently Releases with Less Storage Space

Northern_munkey

@darylb24 only a couple of years left for this gen? The ps4 is still supported and that's going to be the case for a while yet so the ps5 is going to be supported for a long time yet. The ps6 will most probably be backwards compatible too so look forwards to an even longer period of cross gen titles and remake/remaster/ports ad infinitum...

Re: Nerfed PS5 Console Silently Releases with Less Storage Space

Northern_munkey

It's still more than enough space for most people unless you need every game you own installed ready to go. I have the original launch ps5 and I currently have forza horizon 5,GT7,EA wrc rally,dirt 2.0 and a fair few other titles too and I still have enough space if I need it. A lower price for the ps5 is only a good thing.

Re: Everyone's Talking About How Little Physical PS5 Games Contribute to Sony's Bottom Line

Northern_munkey

I prefer physical whenever I can. I'm not against digital but I am against the price gouging that comes with it. Physical is always cheaper online and it always will be. The space saving that comes with digital is enticing and very convenient but I like my physical prices and the way the games look arranged in my gaming unit..plus my young dog boz really likes them too the little f*cker...

Re: Sony to 'Advance Position as Creative Leader in Single Player Experiences'

Northern_munkey

I'm not particularly bothered about sonys own games if I'm going to be honest here. My fave games this generation so far have all been made by other studios and I've enjoyed more indie games this gen than any other. Elden ring,lords of the fallen,lies of p,EA wrc rally,forza 5,helldivers 2 (yes I know Sony) and way too many more to mention thus far and plenty,plenty more on the way. Granted it would be nice for Sony studios to bring more to the table but it's not that important to me.

Re: Poll: Are You Playing Borderlands 4?

Northern_munkey

Obviously the marmite games..I'll be playing this at some point but battlefield 6 is out next month and project motorsport the month after and they are my priorities. Maybe Santa claus will pop it down my chimney this Xmas.. F**ker left me a chunk of coal last year.

Re: Hades 2 Will Do You a Favour and Duck the Hectic September Schedule on PS5

Northern_munkey

@naruball have you tried kill knight? It's a twinstick shooter with rouge like elements. It's really good but it's very challenging. I play it off and on and I like it a lot. I don't know if you like metroidvania rogue likes but if you haven't (shame on you if it's the case) maybe check out dead cells. I had to uninstall that one because I was playing nothing else and found I was hoarding games because I couldn't stop playing it 🤣.

Re: What PS5 Games Have the Best Graphics?

Northern_munkey

My personal faves are GT7 which at times are just stunning. God of war ragnarok is really nice too and I thought borderlands 3 had some superb graphics. I've not played a lot of horizon forbidden west but from what I have seen so far its probably the best of the bunch..GT7 though during races that shift from early evening into night are just out there..

Re: Site News: Where's Our Borderlands 4 PS5 Review?

Northern_munkey

I've never understood the hate towards the borderland games. I've played all of them and enjoyed them all apart from tiny Tina's wondersh*te. Borderlands 2 was my fave entry. I'll be purchasing this as soon as I have time to dedicate myself to it but at the moment it'll just have to wait. I'm certain I'll enjoy it as much as the others.
