Re: One of PlayStation's Best Developers Marks 40 Years of Incredible Games

@Balaam_ Agreed with this. The first 3 Uncharted games are fun enough, but despite TLOU being my favourite game ever I have no interest in going for the Platinum. Being required to beat the game on the hardest difficulty is fair, being made to do it twice is silly. Also not a fan of collectible trophies (though this is hardly a ND exclusive issue), and trophies where you have to speed run the game.

Re: PS Plus Essential Subscribers Bemoan 'Crap Selection' in Latest Update

ThroughTheIris56

Personally I don't care much about the "free" games on PS Plus, if their something I'm interested in I'll get it, if not I have a massive backlog anyway that doesn't need more games. Realistically I'm only subscribed to PS+ because we need it for online multiplayer. This shouldn't be the case, but at the very least there should be a far cheaper option that doesn't include the games.

Re: Poll: Do You Play Horror Games Around Halloween?

I'm usually away for Halloween (annoyingly), but this October I've been very busy with horror games. I've managed to play: Silent Hill f, Resident Evil 3 (remake), Dredge, Buckshot Roulette, Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse and am currently playing Dino Crisis.

Re: Halo PS5 Is Great, But Why Doesn't It Have Competitive Multiplayer?

“Halo has been always about reconnecting, a strong sense of community, and then also telling those stories and sharing those experiences together. And we believe that is where we're really going to be able to bring people together with this new release.”

So this is the reason they're not bringing back the mode that lets people play together and form that community?

Re: New EA Partnership Will 'Reimagine How Games Are Made' with AI

ThroughTheIris56

@JustMyOpinion You're not wrong that it won't just be EA, it will be an industry wide thing. It's just a given that EA is at that forefront of it.

I do get the idea that the end product is all that matters, but I think it's way easier to appreciate games and art that are made by real people. Have them made by computers takes the soul out of them, even if they may be a technically good product. In theory, I don't mind it being used for small things like generating foliage or NPC faces, but it's concerning that it could be used for more prominent aspects like story writing.

And yes in theory it would be great if it did result in cut development times/costs, but with the recent trend I doubt that consumers would see the benefits of those cost cuts.

Re: Sep 2025 USA Sales: Ghost of Yotei PS5 Boycott Fails, Sequel Sells 'Great'

@Northern_munkey I'm kind of meh about it. On one hand, it looks like a great game in many objective aspects. On the other, I'm not a fan of the female main character in the historical setting (before people cry about misogyny, no I don't hate all female characters), and more importantly I'm reluctant to fund a country that is threatening to annex it's neighbours.

So I'm not exactly rooting for it, but I'm not devastated that it did well. It sends mixed signals.
