Re: The Last of Us 2 Petition Demands Dramatic Story Alterations

@Scollurio That's true, and that's why i dont think metacric should allow user review for games until a week after its release. That would also more than likey reduce review bombing (in both directions) since people get bored of whatever it is theyre mad about after a week anyway. Plus no one can beat a game in a day to give a trusted review anyway.

Firstly some of the comments I've read from people who don't like the story you can 100% tell have not even played the game.

Secondly as someone wrote on twitter, being a fan of something does not give you the right to dictate the creative process so that they create something that full fills your fan fiction.

Re: Poll: Did You Buy The Last of Us 2?

Oh_fiddlesticks

I pre-ordered it, first game i've pre-ordered (possibly) this generation and thank god i did because streamers and reviewers of the game on twitter seem to have no care in the world about giving away too much information and spoiling moments.
I cant help but think if i didnt buy it now id know everything about it by the end of month, without even playing it.

Re: PS4 Exclusive Horizon: Zero Dawn Will Come to PC in 2020, Says Report

Oh_fiddlesticks

I feel like Playstation and to some extent Xbox, dont really view PC as a competitor. When in reality i know a whole bunch of people who only own a Playsation because they cant play the games on their PCs. Having all PS exclusive games playable on PC will just mean a lot of people not having to buy a playstation.

I don't really know how I feel about it actually. If the games are being made available on PC years after Playstation then that's fine, no big deal but if they are doing the same as Xbox i almost feel like i may as well just invest in a PC than buy the PS5. Steam does have better deals after all.

Re: Death Stranding - Hideo Kojima's Next Revolutionary Masterpiece

The weird thing about this game is, as great the reviews it's getting, some of them I've read are actually putting me off buying it. I don't think I've read one review that has helped me grasp exactly what the game is and I still can't tell if it will be something I'll enjoy.

I just don't know if I want to play full price to find out.

Re: Poll: Is PS Now's Price Drop Tempting You to Subscribe?

Oh_fiddlesticks

@dark_knightmare2 Well Its true, a lot of those "700 games" are either not the genres i enjoy/old ps3 games i don't really want to play/ games that are just not great in general/ games i already own and have completed.

I mean there may be a few hidden away that i might like which i didn't see while browsing, but not enough for me to warrant getting a subscription for.

Re: Talking Point: Is a PlayStation Game Pass Viable?

Oh_fiddlesticks

I still don't fully understand how Game pass is making any profit for Microsoft, but that may be because everyone i know who uses it, gets the £1 trail, plays everything they want for a month, don't renew, and if xbox puts another exclusive they want to play on there, they create a new account and just get another trail.

I've seen so many people laughing that they're essentially getting full price games for free.

Re: Soapbox: 7/10 Is a Bad Review Score? The World's Gone Mad

Oh_fiddlesticks

Isnt the fact that consumers associate a 7 as a terrible score actually reviewers fault? I've read some reviews,Days Gone for example, that all focus so heavily on the negative, they include hardly any positive points and somehow their end result is giving it a 7.
It is very rare I see reviewers giving AAA games they find bad lower than a 6. Even fallout 76 a game that was absolutely panned by critics managed to get a lot a lot of 7's from reviewers.

Re: Talking Point: Would You Buy a Disc-Less PS4 Console?

Oh_fiddlesticks

I'm not sure about other countries but in the UK digital games on release cost around £15 more than if you were to buy it on disc. This is why I would never go digital only. It would be too expensive for me.

Also digital games don't go on sale as often as physical games, for example I could buy God of war now for £34.00 but digitally its being sold for £54.99

If it wasn't for the high cost of paying for digital then id probably be all for digital only.
