Re: Rogue One Characters Turn to LEGO in The Skywalker Saga

Shokwave2

DLC characters are disappointing imo. No voice lines and the weapons have generic qualities, not personalised. For example Baze Malbu's blaster shoots a slow rate single blaster bolt while in the movie he had a heavy weapon type blaster. Big missed opportunity with the DLC. They could have added new levels/missions and they would have been snapped up.

Re: Best Co-Op Games on PS5

Shokwave2

I had to double check what I was reading, as I thought it was a co-op list. Less than half the games on here would be classed as true co-op. Going by this list, it seems every game is co op, as all you do is hand the controller over to your friend if they want a go 🙄

But seriously, the best co-op games IMO are the Borderland series, Destiny 2, Overcooked, A Way Out, Lego Skywalker Saga, every Lego game..

Re: New PS Plus Memberships: All Three Tiers Explained

Shokwave2

Not sure if it's been said anywhere else but I think here in Australia we'll be getting a fourth tier: PS Plus Deluxe. This is because we don't get or never had PS Now streaming here, so this will apparently be a tailor made tier for us down under. So no streaming for us again. Not sure of the price point..

Re: Poll: Did You Buy Tiny Tina's Wonderlands?

Shokwave2

As I a big Borderlands fan I was unsure about this one. BL2 was the pinnacle, with The Pre-sequel being good and BL3 was average and disappointing. Also I'm not a big fan of the fantasy/D&D genre in general and was afraid all that magic would not fit in with Borderlands world.

Boy was I wrong. The gameplay is as fun and tight as it's ever been, and the new magic/spells fit in perfectly. The quests and missions are entertaining and funny with a few actual laugh out loud moments for me. The level/area design and locations are some of the best of the series. The only downsides so far are technical, being visual hiccups in the menu and online/co op connectivity, which can both be patched.

I do highly recommend this if you're after a fun shooter, even if you disliked BL3. Yes it's more of the same but it's varied and improved enough to make it different from previous games in the series.

Re: Destiny 2: The Witch Queen (PS5) - Bungie's Loot Shooter Vaults Back into First Place

Shokwave2

I used to love the Destiny franchise. When it was released it had probably the tightest shooting mechanics there are, fun and challenging loot missions, and some awesome gun designs.

Then they slowly removed expansions. You can no longer travel to certain planets and moons, all armour gradually looked the same, and everyone was using similar firearms. Bungie took away our gameplay freedom and ripped us off by removing content we paid for.

And when will it return from the vault? Who knows. Maybe in 5 years time when the re-release the game as an anniversary edition and charge another $50. They had the chance to make something bigger with plenty of locations, customisation and characters but stuffed it up IMO.

Re: Hands On: Tiny Tina's Wonderlands Feels Like the Tightest, Most Polished Borderlands Yet

Shokwave2

I'm a massive Borderlands fan, with #2 being my all-time fave. When I saw this trailer I didn't get excited as I usually do for a BL game. Not sure if it's the magic aspect, the setting (not a fan of D&D, GoT, etc,) or that it had it wasn't entirely a FPS with guns.

I'm still on the fence about it, and won't be a day 1 purchase like usual. Guess I'll be waiting for reviews to come in. Plus I'll probably still be playing 2022 GOTY, LEGO Star Wars Skywalker Saga by the time I make my mind up😍😍😍

Re: Reaction: PlayStation Showcase 2021 Was Good, But Not Good Enough

Shokwave2

The only games that grabbed my interest were Project Eve and Tchia. They looked new and fun. The rest of the showcase were games we've known about, seen before or played before. And why remaster the Uncharted games? The visuals are already great, what else can you change? I wasn't expecting much but was still underwhelmed. Plus with nearly every game telling me 2022, I think why show me now? Show me closer to release or give a set date. I'll forget about the games that get delayed.

Re: Aloy Trends As Fans Discuss Horizon Forbidden West Hero

Shokwave2

I have no problem with how she looks. She looks more female than other gaming females. And i'm assuming she identifies as female in the first place. As long as this game doesn't force their views or current hot topics down my throat (like other big games have), i'll be buying this as i loved the first game.

Re: Guide: PS5 Price - How Much Will PlayStation 5 Cost?

Shokwave2

Sorry but what's the point of writing an article on a topic which you have zero information on? It's like saying "PS5 release games": we don't know, there might be a driving game, or a shooting game, or game about building robots made of cheese". These articles are just clickbait. You might as well start a topic on PS6 release date, price and games.

Re: Reaction: PS5 Deep Dive Was As Expected, But Was Shockingly Misjudged

Shokwave2

Found the video very boring. Doesn't matter how fast this is or how many of that it has, if the games are bad then it's all for nothing. More power dont mean better games. Look at Breath of the Wild. Probably the best game of this generation and it's on the weakest console. Just show me the games and system dashboard and then I'll be impressed.
