Re: Soapbox: A Resident Evil Outbreak Reboot Makes Far Too Much Sense

4-6 players has me hopefully it’s not another asymmetrical type of deal. Hope it can celebrate the franchise and put iconic hero’s and villains against each other in scenarios like Outbreak.

I did enjoy Resistance for the first two or so weeks but once Masterminds became leveled up and you got a noob on your team, it was miserable.

Re: Soapbox: I Can't Keep Up with Service Games

I had to quit playing PVZ Battle for neighborville for this exact reason. I loved the game but then it started to become a chore for me to complete dailies etc and I started to get stressed out by it!

I’ve switched to SP only games mainly now because I know I’ll feel the same way with so many games going the live service/battle pass route.

Re: Soapbox: PS5 Pricing Is Setting Releases Like Returnal Up to Fail

Stragen8

This is the game that makes me want a PS5 in March versus next winter - but even I’m unsure if I’d pay that upon release.

Fantastic article and I hope well written articles like this can help some change happen with regards to how Sony prices games - having a spectrum of prices would be nice, and unproven new IP without a huge amount of hype shouldn’t be priced to fail at 70$

Re: Soapbox: Having My PS5 Launch Day Nerfed By Amazon

It stinks this happened to you, but for others that had the same thing occur, it’s good to have someone with a bit of PR weight to their name in the same boat.

If I had this and called Amazon US they’d be like ‘sorry, can’t help, anything else I can do for you today?’

Wow - last time I’ve played a sports game was when crowds were pixelated cardboard cutouts that all moved the same way hahaha. We’ve come a long way since the GameCube days.

Re: This Is What a Bloodborne PS5 Remaster Could Look Like

@Salohcin I never could either - but I managed to beat Bloodborne a few years ago. The best part of that game is the summoning bell. I loved the lore and gameplay, but personally never enjoyed getting wrecked by bosses, so I’d go on Reddit and get someone to help with use of the summoning bell.

I’ve had people call me out that it’s ‘cheating’ but whatever, I had a ton of fun doing all the rest of the areas by myself. The generic enemies aren’t TOO hard after you get the hang of it. Plus I went back and helped other people with bosses once i beat the game and was leveled up!
