Re: Marathon (PS5) - Bungie's Extraction Shooter Is Truly Brilliant, and It Only Gets Better

Smooshy

If we have learned anything from marathons release, it’s that if you’re going to make live service games it’s not a good idea to forget about how your solo experience lands as many have clearly gone in solo.

Yes it’s a fun game, it’s hard, even harder in solos, but I can’t forgive bungie for not thinking about how their big end game map really needs a pre-made squad to complete rather than randoms fill or solo. “Oh we hear and you and are looking at options” to me sounds like “ we didn’t care about solos whilst we had all this time to develop a game and now we scramble to fix”

For that I’d give them an 7/10 for the game.

Bungie making some really odd choices out here.
People are mad that cryo is weekend only, no solo, no rook.

I get that Cryo has some mad loot that could break the game if they had it open 24.7 (apparently)

I respect them trying something new, i don't like them not respecting different types of players and availablity to play their game.

its going to bite bungee in the ass

Re: Hands On: Marathon Is Dense, Demanding, and Drop Dead Gorgeous

The solo experience sucks, which is a shame. The casuals I was paired with weren’t on comms, didn’t want to cooperate and when running it solo all I thought was I wish they’d considered this as not everyone has a pre made squad. At least arc has the solo option. That said, I’m sure marathon will find its place and audience… but honestly feels like it would be better as a br than an extraction shooter

Re: TV Show Review: The Last of Us (HBO) Season 2 Episode 5 - A Chilling Callback to the Games

Smooshy

This weeks episode was fantastic in my opinion. We've diverted a little from the format of the games to fit the medium that will tie it all up nicely for new audiences and fans willing to look past a few niggles and re-jigs

Ellie in the hallway at the end had me SCREAMING at my TV. Bella Killed It. Although I would of liked the whole 'I could leave you here to turn or kill you now thing' but get that the shows trying to convey just how focused Ellie is on revenge.

Can't wait for next week which looks like a mostly flashback episode which if you ask me makes more sense for the context of the show to do it this way, than pepper Daddy Pedro through the season like the games

Re: TV Show Review: The Last of Us (HBO) Season 2 Episode 4 - The First Time the Show Surpasses the Game

They are both two different beasts. The game, is hands down phenomenal but the TV show is phenomenal in its own right. I loved the reveals in the theatre at the end, the whole train section was nightmare fuel.

I agree TV station didn't hit as hard as it should, but i don't think it's down to the change in characters and locations, but moreso how they're trying to build up the story of the war between seraphites and wlfs in the show the world for non game playing folks. Either way, Dina and Ellie's story is just as good in the show as it was in the game

Re: Soapbox: The Wait for GTA 6 on PS5 Will Be Excruciating

We've waited 10 years, we can wait a little longer... hold in there Sammy.

What will be excruciating however, is dealing with some of the fanbase, who will pour over every screenshot. Some will shout 'woke' 'dead game' and others will make 30 youtube videos for every screenshot, BIG NEWS ROCKSTAR CONFIRMS... CLOUDS!!!
