Re: Phantom Blade Zero, the Awesome PS5 Action Game from PS Showcase, Sounds Too Good to Be True

OmegaStriver

Before I even read your article I thought that much of that trailer looked fake. There was too many animations that don’t exist in games like Sekiro, Ghost of Tsushima, Elden Ring and many others.

I’m not saying it isn’t possible, but those animations looked like qte or situational loaded animations. Like hitting square in one instance will do a three strike combo with the sword, but then next time it blends in a kick, it’s based on positioning.

Though, we have seen a few fantastic Chinese games in the last five years and none have released so far. So, keep expectations low.

Re: Sony Significantly Scales Back Development of The Last of Us Multiplayer for PS5, Says Report

OmegaStriver

I despise Bungie’s model and knew it would work out badly for us.

Bungie model:

Expensive game with limited content
Season Pass
Battlepass
Expensive Add-in’s
Removes content after you’ve paid for it.
And to go with all that crap, they push a store.

I despise the direction Sony is going.

Take note, Bungie didn’t like ND’s direction.

Bungie is the worst of old and new capitalism all rolled into one.

Re: Reaction: Sony's PS5, PC Live Service Strategy Won't Work If It's All Samey Shooters

OmegaStriver

The big question I haven’t seen publications ask is; Even though these GaaS games have been shutting down rather quickly, are they turning a profit? If so, these companies will not care. They may be heading toward the direction of quick output for a quick cash-in. I’m pretty sure Ubisoft said that Hyperscape was a huge success for them even though they shut it down quickly. The success of these games may not be based on how long they live, but if they can turn a quick profit. If so, these companies will continue throwing crap at the wall.

Re: Reaction: Sony Flubs First Proper PS5 Presentation in Over 18 Months

OmegaStriver

It was a 4/10 at best for me. I NEVER imagined it would be this bad after waiting so long. No Factions, Twisted Metal, Wolverine, Sony Bend game, Ghost of Tsushima 2, etc. I usually don’t bash these shows, but man that was garbage.

I miss the days of Uncharted, TLoU, Infamous, Resistance, Little Big Planet, Motorstorm, The Puppeteer, Sly Cooper, Twisted Metal. Todays show was so damn aggravating.

Re: Poll: How Hyped Are You for the PlayStation Showcase?

OmegaStriver

@OrtadragoonX Uncharted could be completely rebooted telling an entirely different story, with different cast, in a different decade or century. I see the Uncharted universe as bigger than Nathan Drake. I see Uncharted like the MCU, Nathan is in its universe, but there are other stories to tell, there are other adventures to be had.

Re: Poll: How Hyped Are You for the PlayStation Showcase?

OmegaStriver

For whatever reason, I’m not really that hyped. I expect to be disappointed. It feels like there is no way they can get me hyped after being quiet for so long. They’ve annoyed me too much over the past 3 years.

I hope I’m wrong though.

I would love an Uncharted game with a brand new everything. Uncharted is bigger than Nathan and his friends and family. It could take place in a different decade or century.

I’d love for Motorstorm to return, even though it would be with a different team. Sony shutting down evolution pissed me off.

I could write a book on what I hope they have at that show and how they’ve dissatisfied me, but it is what it is.

Re: Mortal Kombat 1 Announced for PS5, Out 19th September

OmegaStriver

@Realist Im with you. Cinematic’s do NOTHING for me now if there isn’t some gameplay here and there. Most time when I see a new game trailer I immediately skip to the gameplay to see if it’s for me. Don’t get me wrong, I love stories, but I need to see gameplay.

Re: Deviation Games' PS5 Exclusive Project Doesn't Appear to Be Progressing Well

OmegaStriver

@nomither6 If the project sucked and was in poor condition and wasn’t likely to be improved without bringing in another team and burning more cash, why would they want to do that?

This easily COULD be the best decision but considering you and I DONT know that state of the project, we can’t make an accurate statement.

With that said, there is no reason to bash Sony in this instance since again, you don’t know that state of things.

Re: Mortal Kombat 12 Teaser Trailer Hints at Series Reboot for PS5

OmegaStriver

I always assumed that’s basically what was going to happen according to the ending of the MK11 DLC.

I don’t know why some people would be surprised.

It’s been years since I beat it, but I believe it also alluded to going back in time.

So, I n ver understand all these people begging for characters when if it actually took place during the great Kung Lao era, none of the mains would be present, but this could just be locked to the story mode and regular modes could have some of the traditional favorites.

Re: Soapbox: I No Longer Think Subscriptions Like PS Plus, Xbox Game Pass Are the Future of Gaming

OmegaStriver

I still stand by say I hope not because either the prices of the subs will have to rise or quality will have to take a hit.

I prefer traditional games with traditional experiences at a traditional price.

I paid 70$ for Mortal Kombat 2 back in the 90s. I have no issue with games being 70$ or higher, BUT, like then, I only buy them if I really think they are worth it. I’d give 100$ for the newest GoW, but I wouldn’t give 50$ for that newest Saints Row.

Re: Poll: Are You Playing Star Wars Jedi: Survivor?

OmegaStriver

@KaijuKaiser I specifically looked into the PS5 version and people are reporting that it’s fine, not good, but still has quite a few issues.

I’m just over letting these companies think it’s okay to release a game with the intention of fixing it in the future.

I’m not going to give them their day one week one success sales numbers.

Re: Destiny 3 Begins Trending on Twitter As Fans Are Fed Up with Current Game

OmegaStriver

I played Destiny 2 for a few months after release and then quit.

After it went F2P, I hopped back in for a very short time but deleted it soon after.

I’m just not a fan of what’s required to keep up with what’s actually happening in it, and now, things have been removed and if you haven’t followed it closely you will be lost.

I prefer they soft reboot Destiny 3.

Re: Sony's Long Anticipated PS5, PS4 Showcase Could Be Scheduled for May

OmegaStriver

@AFCC With Sony deciding to focus on GaaS and PC, it will be a very long time before the PS4 dies.

From here on out, innovation and pushing games forward by utilizing new tech like the PS5 and eventually the PS6 in all regard is out of the picture.

We’ll probably be halfway into the PS6’s life before we see the PS5 tech maxed out.
