Re: UK's Death Stranding 2 PS5 Physical Sales Down 66% Compared to Predecessor, But Context Matters

Simu001

@PuppetMaster Could be. I never tried that tbh πŸ˜…. But yeah it is what it is. I mena the boss was just the straw that broke the camels back for me. Kojimas oeuvre doesnt speak to me. Whether it be MGS series or DS. That doesn't mean they are bad games or experiences far from it. But it means that I can't really get into it. Maybe in a few years I'll try again and then maybe it clicks. Who knows. The important part is that those that are playing it right now enjoy it. πŸ˜„ (my apologies for the novel sized comment)

Re: UK's Death Stranding 2 PS5 Physical Sales Down 66% Compared to Predecessor, But Context Matters

I have no doubt it's a fantastic game. But not one for me. DS 1 bored me to death and I stopped after meeting Mama and then being forced to fight a boss which was so frustrating as an experience I never came back. Tried numerous times to get back into but I just can't. The visuals are fantastic, soudn design and soundtrack are spot on. The acting is top notch especially Mads Mikkelsen. But the Glacial barely coherent story, and most important of all its sluggish slow gameplay kill it for me. I fell asleep while playing DS1 so yeah. While DS2 seems to be better in every aspect I won't be rscking the dive this time. But my non enjoyment should not get in the way of your enjoyment. Have fun and a good day

Re: Poll: Are You Playing Death Stranding 2?

Simu001

I tried to finish the first one several times but just couldn't finish it. I found it boring and too obtuse I stopped shortly into the second map. So yeah won't be attempting part 2. However I do hope that if you're getting it, it gives you hours of fun.

Re: Resident Evil Requiem PS5 Was Open World, Online in Early Tests

Simu001

Now that's a smart decision. They tried it saw that it didn't work and went back to the drawing board. Perhaps next time they can use the feedback to do an open world. But this is 100% the better call. Also I feel Horror games dont suit an open world. Horror inspired or perhaps horror elements? Sure but straight up pure Horror needs a tight design to work. Imo

Re: In a Surprise to Absolutely No One, Rematch Is Doing Really Well

Simu001

I'm not interested in football at all same.goes for rocket league whoch I did try out a couple of times. Also none of my friends are interested in this game. So it'll be a pass from me. Though I'm always glad to hear that people enjoy a game the bought. We need more positivity in the world, maybe more than ever.

Re: MindsEye Considered an 'Abject' PS5 Pro, PS5 Game in Tech Analysis

Simu001

Honestly sad to see Digital Foundry taking the millions of dollars to trash this masterpiece. See 30fps with uneven frametime is actually preferable to a "stable" 60 fps. Because with uneven framepacing you'll never know when the stutters happen, which brings an air of excitement about. It'll have you on the edge of your seat not knowing whether it's lagging or freezing or maybe it even crashes! What fun! But of course Digital Foundry never found the genius of this technical marvel.....

Re: Death Stranding 2 Feedback Was 'Too Good', So Hideo Kojima Made Big Changes

Simu001

It's his game and he can do whatever he wants with it. I don't have to play and infact will not play it. I rpesect kojima for his achievemts be it in storytelling or in general game design. But I do not have to celebrate every single decision he makes. He can and should be criticized and this decision is one of them. You'd think that getting positive feedback is what you strive for. You can get positive feedback withou going "mainstream". I guess its like indie bands that get a breakthrough and become famous and then they are accused of being sellouts. Instead of changing game design why dont you just limit how many copies there are? That wil lalso ensure it wont go "mainstream". Anyways liek I said his game his decsions. My money my decision to not get it. If you are getting it I hope that it gives you many hours of fun, joy, or a thoughtful experience. That is all, have a nice week all of you😊

Re: Sony Approves MindsEye PS5 Refunds as Dev Issues 'Sincere Apology'

Simu001

This whole Situation is pathetic.... Good job build a rocket boy. You did it. You burned through all the goodwill you had. I award you no points and no awards.... all this could've been avoided but no. You blame everything unto the community... there's no coming back from that...... takena lesson in humility and honesty and.maybe if yo umanage to pull off a 2.0 release MAYBE a handful of people will care. But you brought all this on yourselves.

Re: Hands On: MindsEye Is a Boring Mess

Simu001

This is why you dont stake your success to a name. What I mean by that is idc if you've worked on GTA or Resident Evil or HalF Life or whateve successful franchise/game that comes to mind. This is just marketing. A game never hinges on one person. Its a team effort. So as soon as you make ond person the selling point you're missign the whole picture. Because even the best Directors or Writers can make a bad product. Add to that when that person dismisses criticism or legitimate questions as trolling and well its a recipe for disaster. Also marketing didn't help since it didn't tell us much. Remember the no man's sky launch where despite hour long interviews nobody knew much about the game? I get similar vibes to that except worse.... Obviously no man's sky turned out to be a successtory (and I hope this one can become one too). But somehow I doubt that this'll be the case.

Re: Site News: Where's Our MindsEye PS5 Review?

Simu001

I get not wanting to spoil stuff in trailers etc. But when you obfuscate the nature aof your game then you're doing it wrong. Without a basic outline of what to expect, will increase the chance of people being disappointed. Plus swiping negative oponions and review u der rug by calling them fake and paid for also doesn't help the matter. Why cant devs or publishers just be honest about their products? You want me to buy it right? Then dont lie Nd or hide important stuff. πŸ˜‘

Re: Black Ops 7 Will Be the 'Most Mind-Bending' Call of Duty Ever on PS5, PS4

Simu001

@BeenGamingSince_83 yeah on the other hand and I think many feel the same on this: I had many great memories with the black ops series and I'll happily keep those in my mind. Don't be sad that sad it's be happy it happened at all. I fell CoD has had so many games now its hard to keep innovating while staying true to the core. Plus the times have changed and so have the sensibilities of us all. Damn now I feel old, like yelling at clouds old πŸ˜…

Re: First MindsEye PS5 Copies Leak, Dev Stresses to Wait for Day 1 Patch

Simu001

@Bez87 I think the problem with No Mans Sky is that sony put it front and center. Then you had all the interviews where sean murray claimed what you could do. Then the game came out and well alot of things were missing. Now it is a tale of how a dev can turn things around but still. That first impression hurt alot. Yes they are an indie team but they still overpromised, know what I mean. If I decide to make a game by myself and then promise you the world and then sell you a game that does a fraction of what I promised you'd be mad no? What it comes down to is communication. People will misinterpret things but if you use wishy washy language well you're not helping the matter. The no mans sky we have now is worlds apart from launch abd all the more better for it. But not many devs are willing or maybe able to go down that extra 100 miles. Gollum is yet another example of a team that bit off way more than they could chew.

Re: First MindsEye PS5 Copies Leak, Dev Stresses to Wait for Day 1 Patch

Simu001

@John_Deacon oh c'mon Gamefreak is an indie studio and Pokemon a barely known Brand giv them a break .

On a seroius note yeah gamefreak need to step up. Personally I look forward to the switch 2 but the way things are going it'll probably be my last console. I dont see the sense in mid generation upgrades to console. In my view better save up upgrade the pc and get components that last longer.... But obviously everyone can decide for themselves.

Re: Silent Hill F Will Be Enhanced on PS5 Pro, Promises a Smoother Experience

Simu001

@Oram77 To add to your point, Combat was never the strong point nor was it the focus of the entire Series. Silent Hill lives and dies by its atmosphere and deep stories. If the trailers and the writers previous works are any indication, then I dare say that this might become one of the best Silent Hill game, if not one of the best Horror game.the last gameplay trailer looked fantastic and even though I am a scaredy cat when it comes to games like these, I can't wait to see this one through.

Re: Don't Expect The Witcher 4 to Look Like That Unreal Tech Demo When It Launches on PS5

Simu001

cough cyberpunk 2077 launch cough..... Seriously this wool pulling that CDred does is a thing I really dislike about them. Why fake gameplay? Jusf go the cgi bs route that way no one has unrealistic expectations.... or be honest and call it a tech demo from the very beginning.. but no they call it a "gameplay" trailer..... It's getting difficult to enjoy game reveals when so many publishers lie about their product.πŸ˜’
