Re: Sony Celebrates Death Stranding 2 with Limited Edition PS5 Controller

Simu001

Am I the only one that just cannot get far into Kojima games? Whether its the metal gear series or the death stranding series. I just cant get far into them. Hours long cutscenes with confusing and overcomplicated stories, along with what feels to me like a lot of author selflove just..... has me rolling my eyes. I appreciate what he did for the gaming industry in proving that cinematic games ar epossible and lucrative. But man it feels like everyone treats him like he's some sort of messiah. Idk....

@RagnarLothbrok Hmmmmm is it like lies of P/sekiro? With that I mean your only defense option is parrying? If so then I'm gonna have to pass. For souls games im a shield whore so yeah. The only souls game I enjoyed without shield is Bloodborne (which is still my most favorite soulsborne). Also did you have a chance to try AI limit and how would you compare these two? 😊

Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Gets Positive Reviews In Japan as Bayonetta Director Speaks Out

@DennisReynolds In response to your comment #21. I could be wrong but I think they are burned by the likes of johnny somali amd other nuisance streamers. Look at what happened at watazumi shrine (there was an article earlier). I think their worry is not without reason. Sure videogames arent the sole reason ofc. But Japan has seen a fair share of disrespect especially at shrines from certain "tourists". It's only logical to me that they would atleast discuss how media may shape these disrespectful individuals. Ac shadows just happens to be thenlatest and newest game they could've talked about. Its a sad situation but I can understand that theydwant this defacing and destruction of priceless and culturally significant places and objects to stop. Then again im not japanese so thisnis all just my 2 cents. As for the game itself I'm glad it looks and runs great story is fine so far (still havent unlocked yasuke but I cant wait to unlock him). Overall quite happy with it hopefully it doesnt drag on like valhalla did witch I've never finished due to the length and losing me about halfway I guess with its plot. Dear god I did not expect to write whole novel 0.0

Re: Disrespectful Foreign Tourists Force Closure of Japanese Shrine Fixed by Ghost of Tsushima Fans

@Nepp67 Absolutely. I'm an atheist but never in a million years would the thought of behaving like that at such a revered place cross my mind. Let alone do so on purpose. It is one thing to maybe step a tiny bit out of line because you didn't know, but if people tell you to stop then just stop. I also feel sorry for the staff that have to deal with these tourists. Where has the respect and coppassion for eachother gone? It's just sad.

So according to Soranews24 this is what happened:
"The decision comes after years of frustrations on the part of the shrine in dealing with disrespectful foreign tourists smoking, littering, and spitting inside the shrine grounds. At least one tourist was found riding a mountain bike through a restricted area, and the shrine also claims that tourists have stolen omamori, the good luck amulet charms that are sold by the shrine."

I have many words for such behavior but they'd get me banned so I'll leave it at that.

Here's the article for those interested:

Re: Unfazed by Concord, Sony Doubles Down on Exploring Service Games

Simu001

If they bring back sly jak and other older IPs as liveservice games, I'll be done with sony. Why focus on liveservice so much when you could focus on a good product/game first? Helldivers2 didnt succeed because luveservice it succeeded because it is a good game. (I dont like it but that's taste). Make a good game first and foremost. But I feel that sony has kinda lost that "magic" touch. Also games like sly came out at the perfect time for them.

Re: Ubisoft's Handling of Canned PlayStation Exclusive WiLD 'a Real Scandal', Says Director

@DennisReynolds I dont wamt people to lose their jobs but its clear that ubi is so utterly rotten from the very top. I dont see a few new managers turning it around. We have years and years worth of mismanagement and at this point I think the ship has sailed for the company. Maybe a huge restructuring could do something but I dont see that happening. I just hope that all the talent left finds a better employer

Re: Ubisoft FPS XDefiant Shutting Down, Not Accepting New Players

Simu001

The netcode and Hitreg were atrocious early on so many dropped of the game because of that. I certainly did. Now woth blops6 out nobody went back to xdefiant. It wasnt a bad game but the terrible.first impression with somewhat lacking content killed it. Enough with broken games already. The we patch it later mentality really shows itself this gen, no wodner people are waiting for deep sales or go the piracy route.
