Re: Poll: Five Years of PS5 - How Would You Rate Sony's Console?

Oram77

@Rich33 "This poll is a couple of years too early - Sony typically release their best towards the end of each gen" You are correct, and I think 2026 is the start of the very best. Probably could have been much longer time frame, but the live service push got in the way for a bit (but even some of those were pretty good too!)

Re: 'We Want to Innovate': The Witcher 4 Dev Finds Inspiration in Baldur's Gate 3

Oram77

What are my dreams for Witcher 4 you ask?
1) Do not be like Cyberpunk at launch
2) Gwent NEEDS to be there
3) Improve the combat (by like a lot)
4) Do not even acknowledge the TV show in any way
5) Have Witcher contracts that could affect how people intereact with you
6) Wind must be howling
7) Have a house you can upgrade (think the vineyard from B&W)
8) Explain how Ciri became a Witcher/passed the trail of grasses (I'm sure they will anyway)
9) Less Skellige more Velen/Novigrad type areas
10) Make the spells/oils more usual (expect Quen for obvs reasons)

Re: Are Shadow Drops the Future? Bethesda's Betting on Them After Oblivion Remastered Success

Oram77

It does depend completely on the game, the one major flaw with shadow drops no one knows if the game being a buggy mess or not. I get that it's "more hype" but hype cannot defend games being released in a poor condition. I will say Total Choas (which was shadowed dropped during the Xbox event) has been a perfectly fine shadow drop.

Edit: The problem you are facing now Todd, people have gotten burned from oblivion remaster so don't expect "people losing their minds" the next time...

Re: New Report Finds Almost Half of US Kids Are After In-Game Currency for Christmas

And this right here is why Sony were trying to push the live service model. some of you may not like those types of games, but the younger generation has spoken, and this is what they like. Obviously their approch was way too heavy handed, which has cost some studios too lose years of work/resources, but even from this report, you can see why they went after the golden goose.
