Re: Ubisoft Revenue, Net Bookings Decline 31%

OmegaStriver

If I had my way with Ubisoft.

There would be a new 2d Raymond similar to Legends offerings.

Assassins Creed would be rebooted to not include the future segments and focus solely on individual stories that would hopefully lead them to be better and less convoluted.

Farcry would be rebooted and offer more of a mix of what F2 offered along with the later titles. Possibly a smaller denser world filled with destruction elements and better physics like 2 offered in comparison to later versions.

Splintercell would be rebooted as well just to introduce it to a new audience while being very similar to the first few games.

Re: Reaction: Sony's Live Service Push Has Been a Disaster of Utterly Insane Proportions

You can check my history. I’ve said for a long time that the PlayStation five generation is decent to good, but it’s still easily the worst PlayStation generation I’ve ever experienced.

It’s insane to me that they had a working model that they just completely abandoned to try to rip off Fortnite.

Look at uncharted 4 for example. It had a really good single player mode with a good tacked on multiplayer. All they had to do was add a new level every few months and add a compact battle pass that gave new costumes and emotes and I still likely would’ve been playing that game more than what I do now.

These companies getting hooked on the idea that everything has to be a grand scale is biting them in the ass. A Monetized uncharted 4 multiplayer didn’t need to provide a living world. It just needed some new levels, costumes and emotes, and it could’ve lived for years. Hell, the game is still pretty active. I still play it.

Oh well.

Re: Talking Point: Is PlayStation Right in Saying PC Isn't a 'Major Risk' to Console Business?

OmegaStriver

If they ever go day and date on PC, then I will be done with consoles.

They say there’s not much of a risk, but it’s much larger than what they realize.

I’ve probably spent over 10 thousand dollars on PlayStation hardware and software in their stores over the past decade or so. I realize 10,000 may not be much but then you take 1 million other people like me that ditch consoles and move to PC then they stand to lose a lot of sales in their PSN store and hardware.

Re: Helldivers 2 Devs Gift Players Second Wave of Killzone Crossover Content for Free

OmegaStriver

It shocks me and has never set well with me that micro transactions higher than $10 have ever done well.

It seems insane to me that even during the last generation when games were $60 that you would get DLC that was near $20 or higher when the entire game cost 60. I’ve always thought that a majority of micro transaction content should be around five to $10 at the absolute most. And I’ve always felt that true expansions should be the content that’s $20 or higher.

But people are free to spend their money however they want.

Re: Disgruntled PS5 Pro Owners Campaign to Disable Support After Slew of Shoddy Patches

OmegaStriver

Some of these comments and this article makes this situation WAY WORSE than it actually is. I know because I own a Pro.

The good FAR outweighs the bad.

I feel like many negative comments are actually negative because the Pro is too expensive for them while trying too use excuses mentioned in the article. Though, I do game on an OLED that has VRR and can get up to 120fps. So, people who bought a Pro and are capped at 60 with an older tv may have a different experience.

Re: Review: PS5 Pro - An Impressive Yet Inconsistent Upgrade

OmegaStriver

From my experience playing on a OLED:

Star Wars Outlaws looks sharper and clearer due to PSSR and frame improvements, but still not as good as SM2 and Horizon 2’s improvements. I believe it comes down to dev skill and engine used.

Spider-Man 2 looked great before, looks fantastic now. The same with Horizon Forbidden West.

So, I’m future proofed and ready for Ghost 2, Wolverine, etc.

Re: MultiVersus Underperforms, Another $100 Million Blow for Warner Bros.

OmegaStriver

If they would’ve sold this game at a traditional price with the traditional amount of content ranging from $40-$70, they would’ve got some money from me.

Or

If they would’ve had every character unlocked from the beginning was a generous was of unlocking some cosmetics, and then had decent price cosmetics, They would’ve made some money from me.

With how they’ve handled it, they’ve made none.

Re: Official List of PS5 Pro Launch Games Revealed by Sony

OmegaStriver

Ever since I decided to get a pro, I’ve put my PS five on the back burner and basically been playing my series X for the entire time.

I plan on putting some time into resident evil 4, Hogwarts and Star Wars outlaws, But there’s other games I’m sure I’ll check out just to see how they’ve been improved.

Re: PS5 Pro was a '5-Year Project', In Development Before PS5's Launch

OmegaStriver

I remember through the years people talking about arrogant Sony, and yet I’ve never really felt that way like I do now.

I absolutely despise the silence.

This is really annoying because I can’t remember what it’s called, But Microsoft with their game plan or route where they’ve shown a lot of what they have coming and what to look forward to is way more appealing of a reason to get an Xbox over a PlayStation, BUT, They’ve made a horrendous step with putting their Xbox games on PlayStation because it completely removes the reason to get one.

Sony is lucky as hell that it’s playing out the way it is.

Re: Sony Adopting 'Show Don't Tell' Strategy with PS5

OmegaStriver

It’s insane to me with how they handled themselves in previous generations and became super successful but have drastically changed directions thinking it’s better when the PS5 is slightly lagging behind the PS4 generation in sales.

Speaking only for myself I believe the PS five generation is the most underwhelming PlayStation generation I’ve ever experienced.

Re: PS5, PC Flop Concord Never Returning, Studio Closed Down

OmegaStriver

@Artois2 The huge amount of hate that I’ve seen from gamers in the past few years has been insane. The internet feels like it’s most bigots. They want their games filled with white manly men, with manly voices and all the women gave to be sexy with big breasts and wearing few clothes.

I know people will say that I’m being dramatic, but I’m 100% serious that I could fill out an article on this site of the huge amount of trashy people and their hate.

Just in the past week I’ve seen Silent Hill 2, Dragon Age, Mortal Kombat 1 and now Concord all be bashed by bigot responses.

Re: PS5, PC Flop Concord Never Returning, Studio Closed Down

OmegaStriver

There’s never been a hero shooter that grabbed me, but Concord did. I really enjoyed it and it’s easily the best one that I’ve ever played.

I’ve given overwatch and a few others a try again after Concord went off-line and they all are still very underwhelming to me.

The huge amount of hate that I’ve seen this game get from very obvious bigots has been really crazy, but now many of these bigots have moved on to bashing the new Dragon age.

Re: Sony's Guerrilla Sounds Completely Done with the Killzone Series

OmegaStriver

I may be completely wrong, but I feel like they’ve misjudged horizon’s success.

I like it. I bought both games and the available DLC, But I’m already kind of getting tired of the IP. I have very little interest in the Lego game or in whatever multiplayer game they’re doing.

I’m getting vibes They’re gonna try to milk that IP to death just like Ubisoft has with assassin’s Creed, and I think that’s a mistake.

Re: Opinion: The Price of Playing PS5 Games Day One Is Getting Higher and Higher

OmegaStriver

I’m guilty of it but I may have a reason for it that most likely don’t, my work schedule.

I have a crazy work schedule.

I would NOT do this for 99% of games, but there was a game in the past year that if I got it early, I actually got to play it on my days off before my upcoming 8 day work stretch. So I did, but, I still have to really want a game badly for me to do this.

Re: PS Store Confirms Lots More PS5 Pro Enhanced Games with New Tag

OmegaStriver

Granted, I’m from the US, but I’m surprised to see so many people dislike the pro when they could do what I’m gonna do.

I’m getting one, but I’m gonna sell my PS five to go towards it. I guarantee that I’ll get at least $400 for it selling it online And I’m cool with having to spend $400 to get the newest upgraded piece of tech.
