Re: Xbox Boss Believes Microsoft Is in Very Good Position, Will Be Able to Demonstrate Hardware Advantages Over PS5

Shinobi1Kenoby

Sony have so lost this last generation. Big time.
I moved from PS4 and switch to Xbox One X and switch nearly 3 years ago. PS4 is just weak and the range of exclusives is so limited it’s laughable. I recently moved back to PS4 as the XBox Controller is disgusting and cheap and I cannot stand it.
Far better quality controller on PS4, but instantly recognised how inferior the hardware is. I still stand by the opinion PS4 was pointless and not worth the upgrade from PS3.
In the course of 7 years, AAA console exclusives on PS4 stand at:
Street Fighter V
Uncharted 4
Bloodborne
God of War
Spiderman
Last of Us II.
and that is it. For a 7 year run, that is disgusting and in my eyes an utter failure to deliver to your customer base.
However. The next gen for me will rely on the controller. Visuals are not really improving any more now from gen to gen and AAA titles are getting less and less about a quality game than they are fancy packaging. The I demo games of the last 7 years have far outshine the big studios in terms of quality and originality. The development budgets are so obscenely high that they cannot risk to take a risk anymore and just produce cookie cutter games and invest in graphics. Point in case, Uncharted 4. Brilliant franchise but it peaked with Uncharted 2 which is an all time classic and subsequently got more boring with each sequel. Pretty game, but didn’t add anything or get any more interesting over the next two games.
Forza Horizon duped me into an XBox One X and it looked incredible. After a week???... goddamn it’s a boring game.
Console manufacturers need to go back and rediscover what makes an amazing gaming experience. The controller must be the best it can be, solid and intuitive. It is THE only conduit between you and the experience. If the interface is problematic then it’s bad experience no matter what. Then rediscover what makes a great experience. Sitting through cutscenes and QTE set pieces is..... crap and cheap.
Spider-Man and Gears of War? Garbage and vacuous.
Doom and Metroid Prime? Absolute benchmarks of what a gaming experience should be.

Re: Talking Point: Was EA Play 2020 Brilliant or a Bust?

Shinobi1Kenoby

Good job there wasn’t an E3 for them to try and pad three days out with that truck load of new info........
Madden and FIFA with nothing new at all.
Squadrons..... still not convinced this is worth bothering with.
Skate..... no.
Everything else? I’ve forgotten already.

Re: PS5's Media Remote Is Super Slick, Includes a Microphone

Shinobi1Kenoby

@NotSmartEnough now you’re just sounding silly and resorting to picking up on typos? 😂 half brain and fill in the blanks unless your being facetious to Try and be annoying? walkways=always and was obviously always, misspelled and incorrectly autocorrected.

Back to the actual “conversation” you’ve changed you line of argument again to try and win a non-existent argument because I pointed out the Mormon faith LOVES white stuff.

You said:
“ What? I'm not religious, but try replacing that word in your post with some other large religions and reread it. Still sound ok?”

No it wouldn’t. Had I replaced that one word with Muslim/Jewish/Christian, it just wouldn’t have made any sense.

Which would have made my comment about marketing white consoles to Jewish people just sound as insane as your argument. Now you’re saying, if I said something completely entirely and I posted about orange Consoles for Irish Catholic’s? what the hell are you talking about?

The PS5 is white. A comment that this would appeal to Mormons is satirical. The fact you’ve taken offence to this is just mental. Unless you either A: hate Mormons. Or B:Are a Mormon and are easily offended by anything you could misread as being against Mormons, which my original comment wasn’t. Or C:you just like finding arguments to make online?

You really are earning the title of your username.

Re: PS5's Media Remote Is Super Slick, Includes a Microphone

Shinobi1Kenoby

@SirAngry the switch pro controller is by far and wide the best and best quality controller I’ve ever seen and used. The WORST controller is the insanely cheap feeling XBox One controller. DualShock falls somewhere in between for me. I’ve never liked the sticks being low and central, feels unnatural and uncomfortable.

Re: PS5's Media Remote Is Super Slick, Includes a Microphone

Shinobi1Kenoby

@NotSmartEnough not saying you are ill educated at all, I don’t know you or the education you’ve received. Hard to measure a person’s level of intellect in an online comments section at the best of times.
However, my statement is that your comment was ill-informed and uneducated and purely commenting on the the fact you didn’t know that Mormons hold the colour white almost as in high regard as they do God; you suggested I should replace the word Mormon with either Hindu, Islam or Judaism.

Your comment made no sense at all as you missed the joke. You were ill informed and uneducated on Mormonism’s favourite colour. That is all. Hardly something that will stop you getting hired for a job is it.

Re: PS5's Media Remote Is Super Slick, Includes a Microphone

Shinobi1Kenoby

@NotSmartEnough clearer? Yes. Informed and educated no? Out of all the religions available to opt for in the world, the mormon religion has a strong predilection for all things coloured white, more so than any other religion in the world. Hence my satirical swipe at why a company could chose this crap colour for their marketing. It works for no other industry. Except a Mormon shoe shop

Re: PS5's Media Remote Is Super Slick, Includes a Microphone

Shinobi1Kenoby

@Crimson_Ridley sorry generalising on a fact that is statistically and inherently true is unfortunately just true and also accommodates for the minor minority that think against it. That’s unfortunately the truth of a generalisation in this instance.
No matter how hard you try to use a thesaurus to try and sound Intellectual, you’re just wrong and digging a hole that is laughable reinforcing what I’m saying.

Re: PS5's Media Remote Is Super Slick, Includes a Microphone

Shinobi1Kenoby

@Crimson_Ridley well you’re reaffirming that you are one deviation from the general so thanks for helping to reinforce my point. Yes you may personally like a white console and sometimes white appliances do sell to a minor market sector who over-try to “dare to be different” and yes some white appliances don’t yellow. BUT Unfortunately, GENERALLY, white appliances have a lower marketing appeal and yes they do yellow. You can argue that, but then you’re just looking Ridiculous arguing against an historic fact. good luck
I also looked directly at you at no point and don’t care. if my point was to care about the opinion of a single consumer, then yes I’d have looked at you and addressed you. Unfortunately I didn’t. I generalised and you chirped in to help underline the point I was making, so than you for that.

Re: PS5's Media Remote Is Super Slick, Includes a Microphone

Shinobi1Kenoby

White is literally the WORST colour for consoles ever. The amount of yellowing in white plastics is insane, everybody always wants dark coloured consoles. As soon as you market in white, it fails every time in the long run and you just look like you’re trying to win Mormons over, and that’s it.

Re: Talking Point: Did the PS5 Games Reveal Event Meet Your Expectations?

Shinobi1Kenoby

@InsertUsername 😂
Why is me holding a negative opinion trolling? I own and game every console since the NES, own and play PS1 through to PS4. My negative opinion is based on playing these consoles for 30 years. PlayStation peaked with the PS3 which was the best platform of that generation. The PS5 May be the first iteration of PlayStation I pass on entirely and have zero interest in as yesterday reveal only reinforced how poor Sony have become.
If you consider my opinion as trolling, I can only see you blind faith optimism as fanboy gushing.

Re: Gallery: Gran Turismo 7 PS5 Screens Are Pure Car Porn

Shinobi1Kenoby

Is this another release where everyone convinced themselves they love cars and Top Gear, buy this latest version, the quickly remove they actually find car racing games boring and regret paying the full RRP for a game they hardly ever play and got duped into buying cause the graphics were nice and glossy? I’m looking at you every Gran Turismo and Forza.

Re: Talking Point: Did the PS5 Games Reveal Event Meet Your Expectations?

Shinobi1Kenoby

This was dog dirt “reveal” after dog dirt reveal. Weak exclusives, no real visual fanfare over the capabilities on XBox One X or PS4 Pro, GTA V.... AGAIN!!!! They do know this was a PS3 game??? Are we really to ensure another “next” Generation console 2 years premature, padded out with “remasters” of old games we’ve played to death and got bored of long ago? Sony’s hardware abortions served to end with PS5, it peaked with PS3 and is becoming worse and worse.
They are the new Sega of hardware.
What the hell is that pad except for the worst reimagined SNES controller they’ve done to date?
And why does the console look like a 1980’s student house dehumidifier???
Utter crap from start to finish. Classic Sony.

Re: Soapbox: Why the PlayStation Classic's Game Lineup Could Never Please Everyone

Shinobi1Kenoby

hahahahahahahha ohhhhhh dear. I held off my pre-order as this list could have gone one of two ways and........ wow this went south really fast and has delivered a very strong "meh" line-up.

Where are the big playstation hits worth playing?

Where's:
Silent Hill
Castlevania Symphony of the Night
Wipeout 2097 (or 3)
Mega Man X (any of them)
Resident Evil 2
Crash Bandicoot
Tony Hawk Skateboarding

Why are we being given games such as:
The worst version of Rainbow 6 ever made?
one of the worst fighters on 32-bit - Toshinden
super puzzle fighter?? could have had street fighter alpha 3.

This is predominantly a list trying to think outside the box and give you experiences you never thought you'd pick, only to give you a selection of games you'll flick on for all of 5 minutes each and make you think "meh".

For shame Sony.

Re: TGS 2018: 'No Plans' for Vita Successor, Says Sony

Shinobi1Kenoby

@redd214 well youre unfortunately wrong. The Switch form factor is, by a clear mile, the future of video gaming.

The PS5 being a hybrid bit with the power of a PS4 would be unbelievable.

If you see your home gaming also being fully mobile as a step back then you either haven’t got a Switch, or you need to try one.

Since the release of the Switch I’ve not actually gamed as much in my life. The sheer accessibility of the format is unprecidented and Sony would be wise to expand on what is simply the biggest innovation in gaming history. A full year hybrid and mobile PS5 being a bad thing? Come on!

Re: Sony Announces PlayStation Classic Mini Console, Launches 3rd December

Shinobi1Kenoby

@Turismo4GT nobody is to say that.

But given they want ÂŁ90 for this and it comes with 2 controllers, why not bundle it it with the controllers for the system that accessed all the games. Any games that were improved and even required the dual sticks are now impossible to be included, or will not be as good an experience if they are included, on the PsOne mini for omitting the DualShock in favour of the worst controller ever made.

Re: Poll: One Week Later, Is Spider-Man PS4 as Good as the Reviews Say?

Shinobi1Kenoby

6/10

It’s sad how over hyped this game is. It looks and plays exactly like every Spider-Man game before it.

There’s no weight to anything, battle camera and controls is as weightless, over poppy and utterly underwhelming as every other Spider-Man, web slinging is unimaginative.

The advertisements, make this game look so unbelievable and action packed and awesome..... then you play it and think, where did all that go? Why am I playing Spider-Man in PS2?

Paid youtubers and “influencers” over hyping? Check.
TV and Online advertisements rammed with cutscenes and no in game footage? Check.

Reminds me of when first saw the trailer for final fantasy VII, thought WOW! Then I played it and thought what the **** is this muddy, tiny sprited, flat background god awful looking game!? Great game! Looked like crap.

Spider-man is the other way around. Looks stunning, but gets instantly relentlessly boring and has no neat to it at all.

Super hero game done right? Arkham Asylum by more than a clear mile showed how to do it, and this is no where near in the same league as Arkham. Which is sad as I’m more of a Marvel fan, but maybe Spider-man should have gone a multi format developer rather than yet another Sony exclusive developer with the directives of •Spend all youbtjne and resources on the graphic engine and effects!!!! Get the interns to develop the physics and gameplay of the game. I think only EA could have made a worse Spider-Man game.

Maximum Carnage still stands as the best SpiderMan game in my opinion.

Re: H1Z1: Battle Royale Is One of the Biggest Games on PS4 Right Now

Shinobi1Kenoby

@MrOso I would say a gamer is someone who retains their own taste and opinion on the whole medium of gaming.

I would say somebody who raves about fortnite on the playground to his mates is a child. (Not you personally, but the general consensus of positive comments on this game originate from 8-10 years olds discussing games with my son at his school. Any gamer I know highly ranks this game as the epitome of turd.)

Re: H1Z1: Battle Royale Is One of the Biggest Games on PS4 Right Now

Shinobi1Kenoby

Wow!!!! Had my comment removed for trolling!? Now THAT is pathetic. Didnt realise that we had to love ALL games equally.

How is saying this game looks crap, trolling?

Battlefield V? Genuinely excited about.
Doom II? Genuinely excited about.

This and fortnite look and are garbage.

Or maybe in this new era of “you clever, me clever, we all is clever, all encompassing need for inclusion irrespective of talent or merit” a negative opinion is no longer valid from anyone and now outlawed!?

Is Colonel Gadafi back from the dead and running this page now???

Re: Shenmue III Looks Like It's Going to Need Every Minute of That Delay

Shinobi1Kenoby

The character models need reworking over again from scratch. They look like HD versions of the original blocky models from Dreamcast.

The worlds look stunning, by the models look vastly it of place and need evolving the 18 years since the originals, like tekken, like virtua fighter. If Akira looked the same in virtua fighter 5 as he did in 3, there’s be severe concern. These shenmue models are behind virtua fighter 5 which is now ancient but came from the same teams and graphic engines. What’s going on? Bite the bullet, delay it 12 months and give the fans what they are waiting for and what the backers have invested in. These models need to go

Re: Review: 2MD VR Football (PS4)

Shinobi1Kenoby

@get2sammyb afternoon Sammy. Not intending to do anything here. I felt it is warranted to express an opinion on articles on here whether they are positively or negatively bias, as difference of opinion and vareity are the spice of life.

How a negative opinion is instantly jumped on by fanboys branding it as trolling is just irrititating. Especially when these so called gamers start being personal in a true and pathetic anonymous online tirade.

Surely there are games and aspects of the gaming world you have found no value in and can’t stand?

Re: Review: 2MD VR Football (PS4)

Shinobi1Kenoby

@hi_drnick I brought a negative opinion as a gamer and consumer of Playstation products. I owned PSVR. It is garbage. That is an opinion.

If I saw it in a shelf, in a box, then took to the website to troll that it was garbage. Then yes you’d be right.
But unfortunately you’re just wrong on every level and would benefit yourself from some form of remedial education.

It’s all too easy to label a negative option on as trolling as that immediately discredits it in your eyes and lets the glittered turd shine all that little more brightly to you than it actually does or ever could.

Things, objects, games, products exist. Some people think some are good. Some people may think those same games are garbage.

Take monster hunter for example. Classic gamer divider.

My opinion is this game looks garbage, and that by its direct association with PSVR it is garbage as my personal experience as a gamer owning PSVR, PSVR is garbage. If all this is over your head, and you feel personally offended by the world not loving the same things you love, then..... the world is gonna hurt you a lot as you grow up.

Re: Review: 2MD VR Football (PS4)

Shinobi1Kenoby

@hi_drnick seems you’re a fool also.

At no point have I got upset. Neither was I hostile toward any individual. What has happened is that I’ve dared to air a negative viewpoint on a PS4 product and several a couple of fanboys have got upset and spat their dummy’s out over a crap game for a crap peripheral. But hey ho, the world still turns. Relax children

Pathetic.
