Re: Reaction: It's Time to Accept We Can't Predict PlayStation Anymore

It mainly stinks for Joirnalists and people that frequent this site alone for news like me. On one hand it’s exciting opening up PushSquare to find some awesome announcement! But on the other hand, when it’s always random, I find myself going here less and less versus when I know it’ll be a big blowout weeek of news.

Re: In the UK, 96% of Dark Alliance's Physical Sales Were on PS5, PS4

@mrtennis1990 I agree it can’t be sustainable for the platform holders or the developers (since many move on from games so quickly and never go back).

However, from a consumer standpoint with limited budget, I gotta see where the best value for my money is and currently there’s a CLEAR winner. I don’t regret my PS5 purchase but once Xcloud is running on mobile or PC, that’s gonna be a go to for me if a game is launched there

It’ll be interesting as the generation goes along, if Sony can command a huge lead like they did with PS4 they can probably get away without a Gamepass alternative. However, I think more and more people are seeing huge value in the subscription.

I’m the target audience for DA, had the original on GameCube and so this was a day 1 buy for me. But if I had both and Xbox and PS, I’d have just used a Gamepass subscription for 1 month because I doubt I’ll play this game longer then a month.

@Snake_V5 Im not sure if you played each of them on release or in the collection pack, but for me, I played each at release and Uncharted 2 was such a step up over U1 and blew so many other games of that era out of the water, especially for action/adventure and storytelling. (Even during the era of tacked on multiplayer, U2’s was fantastic!)

U3 had better set pieces and graphics and multiplayer. But I felt like the story was a lot more muddy and all over the place. I was overhyped at the time and was really disappointed by it. It wasn’t as big of a jump like U1 to U2 was and the series was coming off of this stellar reputation from U2. For me U2 was the pinnacle of the series. (U4 just seemed to drag a bit once you get to the island)

@get2sammyb I’m shocked Ubisoft didn’t give up on Rocksmith. But this model and targeting all those app based guiar learning tools seems perfect.

It really is an amazing learning tool. It’s taught me so much, and got me playing guitar. I’ve since started real lessons as well, but as a song learning tool it’s unmatched. I was fully playing stuff like Cheap Trick’s Surrender at 100% before ever having a teacher.

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Resident Evil Village?

I loved it. It might be my favorite, except for the nostalgia that 5 has for me because it got me into the series (besides failing miserably as a kid at 3)

Perfect length, never stayed in one place too long. Nice side stuff and backtracking. Perfect imo. Also nailed the story and I loved all the villains

Re: Reaction: What Next for PlayStation?

You made a really good point. I thought I was just getting older and that’s why the news seemed less interesting, but i honestly question why I log into PS 4 times a day anymore. Sony just isn’t doing anything exciting and when there is news it’s a quick burst that lasts for a day or two.
