Re: The Finals Open Beta Draws 7.5 Million Players, Embark Studios 'Humbled'

Richi-388

A good easy to jump in and play multiplayer. It did have some issues like time to kill was too long, the recoil on the ‘AK’ was way too harsh. I didn’t get to try many other weapons but the recoil on the ‘small’ class’ gun was a lot better but again it took a mag and a half to kill someone.

The maps were fun, with good destruction. I wonder if they’ll add more game modes, such as capture the flag or domination where you can make use of the destruction more tactfully. The beta game modes felt very fast paced

Re: PlayStation Portal Is Sony's PS5 Remote Play Handheld, Priced at $200 / £200

Richi-388

Unfortunately no, I can’t see when this will be much use. If it’s streaming via WiFi high chance I’m at home so I’ll just go an play my PS5…

Disappointed but not surprised with Sony releasing this instead of a fully fledged PSP/Vita successor. After the success of Switch and plenty of indies to boast a full library a handheld console would make a lot more sense.

Re: Alan Wake 2's Digital-Only Release Allows for a More Polished Game, Says Remedy

Richi-388

BS! Don’t use the user experience as an excuse. How stupid do they think we are. Of course it’s to maximise the company’s profit and stop resale value.
I wanted Alan Wake 2 since the OG came out on 360 and would’ve bought day 1 but I’m not supporting digital only from a AAA studio. You don’t own digital and network issues can cause games to be unavailable, not even always online games. CE of Ragnarok was a digital game and a handful of times I couldn’t load the game due to the console unable to verify the license.

Re: Reaction: Publishers Are Getting Worse at Nintendo Direct-Style Livestreams

Richi-388

Most of these streams I don’t bother with anymore, even Geoff’s shows are too full of ads and it’s 30 seconds of one out of the blue game then straight into another for the next game and you barely have time to process it.

Sony’s latest haven’t been too bad to be honest though I find they tend to acknowledge expectations on Twitter beforehand so I’ll keep watching them but for the others I don’t have the time or energy to even have it on in the background. I come to sites like this to get a summary of the show and bigger announcements.

Re: UK Sales Charts: The Last of Us 1, Horizon Forbidden West Champion PS5

Richi-388

@Sqush-Pare yep seems something not worth mentioning. Possibly just a misjudgement with the comment although there was an entire article earlier about it.

It’s these type of comparisons that don’t offer anything other than to add fuel and controversy that ruined Twitter and YouTube gaming channels. I don’t think this page is going that way as the staff all seem decent open minded people but those type of comments and articles become a slippery slope

Re: The Last of Us PS5’s UK Physical Sales Half of Saints Row

Richi-388

Don’t see much relevance for this article to be honest. The games didn’t release on the same day and one is multi platform and multi generation.
It feels a bit like this article is just trying to generate views and get people riled up as TLOU is weirdly controversial at the moment. This is the sort of stuff that ruined Twitter by creating posts purposely to get people annoyed and comment rather than discuss.

Re: Sony Sued £5 Billion for 'Ripping Off' PS5, PS4 Players

Richi-388

@PegasusActual93 exactly. Gaming is a hobby and we all decide if we can afford a game or not. Most games are on sale throughout year and we all know the pricing of the games. If anyone should be upset about this it’s the developers, even if Sony took 20% or 10% whos to say the price would drop. It just means more goes to the developer, which I’d support but that’s not the issue being raised.

This sounds like someone trying to gain attention for whatever reason.

Re: Sony Sued £5 Billion for 'Ripping Off' PS5, PS4 Players

Richi-388

I’m all for saving money and sticking it to corporations but this sounds like a desperate man clasping at straws. Yes there is a cost of living crisis but PlayStation (all games in general) is not a necessity it is a hobby and one consumers need to responsibly budget for.
I hope the news doesn’t spin this to make it sound like this guy is speaking on behalf of gamers.

Re: EA Primed to Purchase Codemasters as Take-Two Withdraws Offer

Richi-388

This might be a chance for EA to prove itself and change the public perseption.
I know they were open about Squadrons being a short game hence the £30 cost and no microtransactions. I have the game but havent played it though I hear it is good. Hopefully EA can fund more Dirt and GRID games to keep the same feel but with bigger budgets and more scope.

Re: The Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes Is the Next Entry in the Horror Series

Richi-388

I completed Men of Medan last night. It was ok, the story was good but I felt the characters and settings felt disjointed. There will be times when something happens, a face or person appears which scares the character yet they don't mention it at all, it felt like a lot of the horror and jump scares were for the player only and weren't tied to the characters etc.

I love the idea of smaller horror games, Until Dawn was amazing, a bit long but good, these smaller stories feel better as with most horror once you become familiar with the monster it stops becoming scary. I will buy Little Hope and I'm hoping the developers have ironed some of the issues out.

Re: Poll: Are You Happy With You PS Plus Games for September 2020?

Richi-388

Bloody hell there are some cry babies on this site. I thought that was only the Twitter babies.

So what if it’s on Now and PS+ it’s one month where you don’t play the FREE games. It’s not like there isn’t 100s of games to play already. Instead of crying about it why don’t you just cancel your sub and shut the f**k up like an adult. Bloody entitled children.

Re: PS5's Pulse 3D Wireless Headset Will Also Work on PS4, PC

Richi-388

I kind of wished the headset could pair to the PS5 without the dongle. It just uses a USB slot. With the PS4 with external hard drive and the dongle in you only have one slot left which is ok for charging your controller but if you put the PSVR on that uses the last slot.

Re: The Last of Us 2: All the Tiny Details You Missed

Richi-388

This game has so much attention to detail. I love snow levels in games so I spent so much time messing round and the crunching sound when the characters walk is perfect!

I also love the story details like the guy you get the bow from has mannequins for target practise in his garden, if you got into the clothes shop earlier in the level there is a note/drawing named ‘daughter’s drawing’ of her Dad saying something about ‘the best archer in Seattle’. It’s assumed he owns the clothes shop hence the note being there and him having the mannequins at home, there is also a work bench in the shop I guess he worked on his bow there. I think the tadpoles clip above is his house as well and there is a bench in there to.

Re: Naughty Dog Blocks The Last of Us 2 Trolls with New Twitter Feature

Richi-388

I wouldn’t call people posting spoilers and moaning about Naughty Dog disabling comments fans. If a fan seen a spoiler I’m sure they would understand the devastation of someone else seeing it and would do what they could to not mention it.
The only people spoiling it are trolls and people with low self esteem
