Re: Halo Ready for PS5 Debut, Campaign Evolved Goes Gold

Northern_munkey

"The phrase "going gold" means Halo Studios has finished work on the 1.0 version of the game, and can now turn its full attention to any updates and fixes it may choose to include in a day one patch." I'm so glad this was explained just in case nobody had any idea what it meant 🤔. Seasoned veteran of the halo series and I'm definitely going to be all over this at launch. I hope we get the rest of the series too.

Re: Hands On: In Its Eleventh Season, The Finals Is Better Than Ever

Northern_munkey

@CheesyOatcake I played this for a while with mates and same here they dropped it like a hot stone. In all fairness it was a bit of a mess when it launched but I might jump back in to see how it's changed after all its free so I'm losing nothing. Have you tried off the grid? Another free to play shooter which is pretty good. I like the way you can upgrade different body parts on the fly when you kill an opponent and decide their legs are better than yours..rip em' off and install them. Worth a butchers if you fancy something different.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 641

Northern_munkey

"I'm going to be checking out these two new Call of Duty: Black Ops ports on PS5 this weekend. They don't sound very good, so wish me luck!" So they were reviewed yesterday (4/10) but you are checking them out this weekend 🤔. Anyway I just bought mandragora because it's finally hit a sale after god knows how long and it's a damn nice metroidvania/souls type game which I can't recommend enough if you like these games. So I will be playing that as its too damn hot to go playing golf today. The usual marathon session and a spot of rallying oh and of course England v Norway..Have a great weekend everybody 👍

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops (PS5) - One Big Rip-Off

@get2sammyb "Great review Liam!" Really? All I read was a series of complaints and not a lot else. It was more of an overview of the zombies mode and the multiplayer. I agree that its over priced as a bare bones port and more love should have been given to what I view as one of the best entry's in the franchise but great review? That's a reach at best.

Re: Poll: Are You Considering Leaving PlayStation for PC?

Northern_munkey

I'll probably stay with my ps5 Pro. The only reason I'd consider returning to pc gaming is simply because there are more racing sims on there and a lot more of them are VR enabled. I can use my psvr2 on a PC but I'd have to purchase an adapter to play. I could never leave GT7 as with my T598,ps5 Pro and psvr2 it's just one of those things that's never going to get boring. I would like to play dirt rally 2.0 and assetto corsa rally in VR and seeing as it's probably never going to happen on the ps5 Pro it really does make me ponder on whether or not to have a gaming pc and a ps5 Pro. It's a tough question for me to answer. Let's see what happens with the ps6.

"I don’t know whether Sony thinks it can ride this one out, but I’m of the opinion it has to issue some kind of response ASAP. This isn’t going away." Well to start I think Sony need to communicate something to its consumers. That I'm in agreement with 100%. But do Sony have to issue a response? No they don't. In fact they don't have to do anything at all if they don't want to. They can just stick two fingers up to us all and do what they want and how they want and when they want. I personally don't feel Sony have to give me an answer anymore than they would expect me to answer to them about how I go about my daily business. It would be nice for some kind of explanation but at the end of the day it's up to them as to how they want their public image to be perceived. Not defending them here (I know there's some of you chomping at the bit to tell me otherwise) I'm just fed up with people that just cannot or will not see things from other people's perspectives and respect others opinions without getting upset and feeling as if they are being attacked personally...oh I need to sit down and ponder my existence because my sensibilitys have been bruised...it is what it is folks so we'd better get used to it or find a new hobby.

@Neuromancer "I watched the Vara Dark video on it about 2 hours ago." I've watched a few of her vids that my mate linked me to and I'm from the wrong generation to get behind anything she has to say. When people say "we need to talk about this" I immediately turn it off as to me being in my 50's it's an instant-as the cool kids say a real "cringe" moment. Now I understand people will like her and her content and that's fine but I can't get behind narcissistic self promoting influencers. I can think for myself and have enough of a mental capacity to not have the need to be influenced. I'm not knocking you here in case you think this is an attack on you it's just something I've been meaning to get out of my head space for a while now 👍

Re: Enjoying the World Cup? This Anime Soccer Game Looks Like a PS5 Must Play

Northern_munkey

Whatever happened to international super star soccer? I know it went free to play and was god awful but ISS was one of the greatest football franchises of all time. Such a shame as fifa is pretty boring now. Enjoying the world cup and I've watched pretty much every match and those I've fallen asleep through I've watched the high lights. Bummer for Egypt this evening. This game looks like it could be a laugh but I'm not a big fan of the graphical style.

Re: Reaction: Sony Needs to Start Speaking to Us Again

Northern_munkey

@OcelotsRevolver "Conflating their anger with being childish is using an ad hominem fallacy." There are those here that exhibit this behaviour though. "Assuming that you are the majority is using a bandwagon fallacy." Where did @Tintin assume he was in the majority? I only saw somebody voice an opinion.

Re: Reaction: Sony Needs to Start Speaking to Us Again

Northern_munkey

"The repercussions of its actions won’t be felt immediately, but they’re going to bite eventually." Oh they were felt immediately in fact Push Square more than helped with that. "It's awful, I don't feel appreciated as a customer." I'm not that entitled to even begin to think choosing that option. I'm in the couldn't give a monkey's choice and please note it's a personal choice and no vitriolic responses needed 👍

Re: Reaction: Travelling the World Made Me Realise What PlayStation Is About to Lose

Northern_munkey

@Propaperpusher "But I don't believe you all do so loud enough." Yes we do but if push Square deem somebody's opinion to be unconstructive/off topic/inappropriate etc,etc,etc it's removed in an attempt to silence that malcontent. This article has made me laugh at its attempt to almost try and make this whole thing some kind of existential crisis. I've not for one minute thought about my place in the universe and how this affects me..I've got better things to do ultimately.

Re: Reaction: Travelling the World Made Me Realise What PlayStation Is About to Lose

@Oram77 I think that people still purchase discs because you can pick them up a lot cheaper than on the store. I don't even think gamers really care that much if it's just an activation code anymore so long as they can save £20 upwards sometimes. This is just Sony preventing gamers having purchasing options. This is how they will maintain this mythical "profitability" whilst selling less consoles.
