Re: Ex-PlayStation Exec Shawn Layden Says There's Been a 'Collapse' in Gaming Creativity

Pepsiman_100

Theres plenty of creative and fun games but not enough people show up for them. Sometimes they go under the radar bc theyre overshadowed by other releases, sometimes people just dont look for them, sometimes people see them and just ignore them or come up with some stupid reason not to buy them. Sometimes they sell very well and still get dropped because they sold 5 million and not 50 million. Its mainly the big blockbusters that sell double digit millions which is why devs are relying on them.

Bayonetta origins, Atlas Fallen, Gal guardians, Gostwire tokyo, evil west, shadow warrior 3, hi fi rush, penny's big break, Bakeru, Kunitsu gami, Prince of persia lost crown, psychonauts 2, etc etc Many great games that didnt sell enough or just bombed. Theyre being made but when these kinds of games dont sell then what can we do?

Re: Anime GTA Neverness to Everness Could Be PS5's Next Big Thing

Pepsiman_100

Its such a shame really. Some of these games look like theyre pushing anime games further with their animations and gameplay but just F it all up with the gacha stuff. Even tho something like ZZZ has wonderful animation and very cool characters, the grind and simple combat sooner or later become stale and tiring

Re: SEGA Announces Two Point Museum for PS5

I saw sega and museum in the same sentence and immediately thought it was gonna be some kind of virtual museum with a bunch of Sega stuff in it that you can examine and whatnot. Sort of like the playstation room in astros playroom.

Re: Don't Expect to See Kazuma Kiryu or Goro Majima as Guest Fighters in Tekken, Street Fighter

Pepsiman_100

Oh come AWN man. First they didnt want kiryu hitting women now this. I guess these devs just dont like cool things. Makes me wonder what other great ideas developers or their higher ups mightve prevented from happening. They put the cool badass fighting yakuza man in monkey ball and a golf game but refuse to put him in a fighting game where he can actually fight. Like what he does in his own games. Smh

Re: Double Dragon Revive Is a New, 3D Beat-'Em-Up from Arc System Works

Pepsiman_100

It looks solid but I need some raw gameplay to truly judge. Still I'm a bit bummed out now. I was hoping arcsys was doing it and actually trying their hand at action games. I dont think theres ever been a yuke's game that I was really interested in. Hopefully the final game will look better. Its still nice to see these classic bralwers coming back in a different style than the same pixel art stuff we've been getting

Re: Sunset Overdrive PS5 Port Not Happening, Insomniac's Too 'Busy'

@Westernwolf4 kind of an odd comment. Sunsets traversal is similar to Spiderman but its still pretty different. Feels more platformy. Most of the time in Spiderman you can travel just by web swinging alone without the extra jumps or wall runs. They're pretty different movement systems.

A lot of us want something a little more different than the usual grounded and realistic Super hero game. A lot of us do care more for gameplay than story

Re: Poll: Can a Game's Brutal Difficultly Put You Off Playing It?

Pepsiman_100

Personally nothing can ever really put me off cuz I'm too prideful to accept defeat. No matter how frustrating I would still have a drive to beat the game.

Anyway I appreciate challenge when its legit. Maybe with some clever design or enemies that push me to really think about properly utilizing my moves and whatnot. What I dont like is stuff like spongey enemies, insane damage, instakills, etc. Stuff like that just feels cheap to me

Re: Poll: One Year Later, What Are Your Thoughts on Final Fantasy 16?

Pepsiman_100

Twas a really good game but a few things prevented it from being great. It couldve been much shorter, the eikon abilities shouldn't have cooldown, ultima should've just been scrapped from the story and it focuses on the warring countries and stuff, Barnabas should've been the main villain or maybe his mother who could've corrupted him or something, fewer side quests and maybe some other things I can't really think of right now. It basically needed some fat trimmed off of it. I also think the moveset could've been expanded. It didn't feel like enough. Perhaps Jill, Joshua, and Cid could've been playable

Re: Naughty Dog Won't Be 'The Last of Us Studio Forever', Says Neil Druckmann

Pepsiman_100

I'd only want a lst of us 3 so maybe ellie can win her family back and focus on finding a cure. I just dont want it to end on the dog poop 2nd game.

Anyway I can only have faith in ND again if they give me something new. Sylized, fantasy, SOMETHING. Their new IP could be the same as uncharted or last of us. Same hyper realistic graphics, same basic gameplay, no cool artstyle or anything else to make the game stand out, etc. Hopefully its much more appealing.

Re: Stellar Blade Is a Better Game Than NieR: Automata, Yoko Taro Reckons

@DETfaninATL I don't get the bayo comparisons. Besides both having a hot female mc. As for nier there are a few things. The music (same composer I think), hot female mc who's fighting in a war, several of her teammates die in the beginning, there's a little drone companion that helps you in combat, post apocalyptic world, and whatever else. The nier comparisons seem more understandable
