Re: Soapbox: Why Do You Replay Games?

RisingSupremacy

I've only replayed 2 games in my life - The Last of Us remastered and God of War 4. Only played them again as I loved the experiences so much and had forgotten a lot of what had happened.

Part of the reason why I never usually replay games is that after a certain amount of time the mechanics and graphics get so outdated I have no desire to go back.

Mostly though I can justify spending another 1hr 30mins to rewatch a movie I loved (especially if it's in the background), but not another 15+ hours replaying a game which requires my full attention.

Re: Poll: How Do You Feel About PS4 Exclusives Being Ported to PC?

RisingSupremacy

Doesn't really bother me as PS Plus is still giving lots of reasons to stay with the PS5 and having the disc version I can still make most my money back after completing it.

If it got to the point where it wasn't the case and I could play God of War Ragnorak less than a year later on PC for £20 like with Death Stranding (though I think that was largely due to it being quite a polarizing game - was 5.1 on Metacritic until they deleted 6000 reviews) I'd probably just sell my PS5, so I win either way.

Re: Soapbox: PS5 Pricing Is Setting Releases Like Returnal Up to Fail

RisingSupremacy

Said similar early in Nov, just asking for people to not buy on day one when you’d bank on them - disc version - being more or less half price a few months after release (supply and demand, as I can only see a tiny minority spending £70 every time on unknowns IP's which means prices should drop quickly).

Personally I've only ever bought the gold standard games I absolutely love on day one for the past few years anyway (GoW, TLOU2 etc.) and that was only in the knowledge I can sell them for the same price after completing it as they hold their value well.

Re: Reaction: Microsoft's E3 2018 Press Conference Was Killer for PS4 Owners

RisingSupremacy

I quite enjoyed it, but as you eluded to, there was nothing I found remotely interesting exclusive wise. If it wasn't for the fact PS4 doesn't have a UHD player I probably wouldn't even own an Xbox One I've become so disinterested in their exclusives (that and the fact I can play all those on the PC anyway)! If PS gets a Games Pass equivalent that may be the final nail in the coffin for me exclusives wise.

Re: PlayStation VR Is Growing, But Virtual Reality Is Stumbling

RisingSupremacy

Because it’s too expensive and the quality isn’t great. 3D showed that isn’t a great combination! Only now with passive 3D on 4K TV’s is the picture great at home - I suspect VR will need at least another gen (realistically 2) to be at the required level.

Personally for me I can't play VR too long as the display is uncomfortable to look at for long periods at a time.

Re: PS4 'Entering Final Phase of Its Life' Says Sony CEO

RisingSupremacy

Next summer at the earliest I reckon. I'll be happy to wait though as I've always upgraded straight away recently and each time its bit me on the b** (discounts/package deals just barely a month after release).

Will never forget the Xbox price drop after just 4 months to match PS4 (at least back in the day customers were compensated for such). Games are usually naff to start with as well, bar the odd exception.
