Re: In Destiny 2's Darkest Moment, Bungie Is Betting on Star Wars to Bring Players Back

OmegaStriver

I played Destiny 2 when it first released and then stopped for years.

I returned months ago when the legacy collection was $17 so that my kids and I would have a new co-op game.

It’s been a decent experience. Fun overall but also feels very dated. I doubt that once we complete the DLC in that bundle that we will purchase anymore.

I believe, unless it’s is really paying off for them, they need to move on.

Re: Horizon Dev Guerrilla Won't Abandon PS5, Has 'More' Games Coming

OmegaStriver

If it was mobile only, I wouldn’t care, but the fact that it’s on PC and not PlayStation is just really freaking weird.

I’ve said it before and I’m gonna say it again. The PS5 generation is a good one, but it’s easily the worst PlayStation generation I’ve ever experienced. This just seems like a really bad joke.

Re: Some PS5 Owners Might Be Paying More Than Others on PS Store

With digital taking over, the sales have gotten worse over the past five years.

There’s a list of games that I want and I’ve got their sales prices memorized and for a long while they will go on sale repeatedly but it’s for the same price over and over. I’ve been at the point to where for these games there is a price that I want and if it doesn’t go on sale for that price, I just don’t get it.

That avatar game was a big example. A handful of years ago that game would’ve been on sale for $25 within a handful of months, but that game on my account stayed near $40 for well over a year, and now that it’s finally down to 20 I just don’t care anymore and I haven’t bought it.

Re: PS6 Release Date Touted for 2027, Cheaper But Less Powerful Than Next Xbox

OmegaStriver

@Max_the_German I get you. It felt like it was slow to start and should have picked up in the last year but it appears PlayStation scrapped a lot of plans and had to start over on a lot of projects and what felt like should’ve picked up in the last year didn’t.

I get the feeling that when the PlayStation six arrives that it’ll probably feel pretty disappointing because there will likely be more cross gen titles than there was this past gen.

Though I’ll likely get a PS6 day one because it will likely be affordable for me.

Re: Poll: How Would You Rate Gamescom Opening Night Live 2025?

OmegaStriver

Correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t the Lord of the fallen and black myth both just launch in the last year?

If so, wouldn’t that indicate that those games are years away?

CGI trailers do nothing for me. Even if it’s from an IP that I absolutely love, seeing one of those trailers with zero gameplay do nothing for me.

Re: Wuchang Tech Issues Acknowledged, First Patch Coming Soon

OmegaStriver

Many companies are complaining about a lack of sales but it doesn’t help their mission that there are many games that don’t receive their significant upgrades or patches until months after a game is released, so, that drastically reduces my interest in buying many games day one unless I’m very interested.

Re: PS5's Ghost of Yotei Fully Revealed in 20 Minute State of Play on 10th July

OmegaStriver

I was talking to my buddy the other day and it’s weird that we are 5 years into the PS5 generation and in regard to first party studios we are still mostly in the dark as to what they are working on. It’s a very disappointing experience.

Back in the day, we would’ve already had a show filled with previews of what’s coming.

Bend-???
Santa Monica-???
Bluepoint-???
Guerilla-???
Media Molecule-???
The other newer studios-???

I’m not stupid, I’m very aware of what most the studios are probably working on. I’m just saying we are five years into the system and it’s mostly silence when traditionally we would’ve had a handful of previews, trailers and reveals by now.

Granted, that stupid GASS push has definitely contributed to this.

Re: PS5 Fans Divided Over Helldivers 2 on Xbox Pivot

OmegaStriver

@Wizpig17 the crazy thing is that I have not owned an Xbox since the Xbox 360 but I bought a series X 3 years ago due to I wanted to catch up on exclusives. I also have a friend that has never owned an Xbox and he bought one three years ago along with me for the games he has never played, the exclusives and for game pass, but with the changes that they’ve made with putting games on PlayStation we’re not buying whatever Xbox comes next. So they’ve definitely contributed to the loss of console sales in the future with the two of us.

Re: PS5 Fans Divided Over Helldivers 2 on Xbox Pivot

OmegaStriver

Considering the direction they’re going Sony and Microsoft just go ahead and release a console together next generation.

I prefer exclusives because based off of 30 years of history, I think some of the best games have been exclusive. They had to be great to push the sales of systems and we’ve already experienced that a lot of games overall don’t take the risks that they used, but it is what it is.

Re: Talking Point: Is It Officially Game Over for PSVR2?

OmegaStriver

Im a fan of VR. I owned the PSVR and Oculus from a few years back, but they released the PSVR2 to quickly.

I had a strong feeling because of this it was gonna fail, and they were basically going to abandon it, which is mostly been the case.

They should’ve skipped the entirety of the PS five generation for VR and brought it back a couple years into the PS6 generation.

Re: 'We Won't Make the Same Mistakes Again': Sony Reflects on PS5's Catastrophic Concord

OmegaStriver

It’s not that difficult.

There were many of us that played the Uncharted multiplayers along with Factions.

If they would have kept adding in new levels to experience along with new cosmetics and emotes to purchase, possibly mixed into a battle pass, they would have insured a steady flow of income.

Multiplayer doesn’t have to be a huge living world and story experience. There are those of us that appreciate an expanded traditional experience.

This would have worked with a game like Motorstorm as well.

Re: Poll: How Would You Rate State of Play for June 2025?

OmegaStriver

@SuntannedDuck2 Even if they were not from Sony studios, I would have liked to seen games that gave me vibes similar to: Motorstorm Pacific Rift, LBP, Resistance, Puppeteer, Little Nightmares, Reanimal, South of Midnight, Infamous, Bioshock, Sifu, Limbo.

The vast majority of what was shown did nothing for me. Games like No More Heroes and Journey don’t do it for me.
