Re: Xbox Series S Specs Limit the Scope of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Zenszulu

Surely the ram itself shouldn't be much of a factor in the overall size of the game and that comes more down to storage space and how large the file size is? Unless it's only referring to the size of what can be loaded into the immediate area in which 25% larger seems like quite a significant increase.

Re: Reaction: PS5 Livestreams Are No Longer Speaking to the Fans Who Built the Brand

Zenszulu

I think it's more that people get themselves over excited for these live streams than anything and have expectations of thing being announced that are huge all the time and they after then go online and get upset it didn't go their way. Big games and other things like hardware aren't restricted to getting announced at certain times anymore and it can happen at any point of the year. When the industry heavily relied on trade shows to make these announcements like E3 then you could usually expect something big but they don't do that anymore. Maybe I am just getting too old to care but I don't have any expectations anymore with these things as it seems getting over hyped about something that probably won't happen is a waste of energy.

Re: The Day Before Dev Drops Digital Smoke Bomb, Disappears Days After Early Access Launch

Zenszulu

The Day After... it was all gone. Is a little bit suspicious that the guy has deleted any presence online too. Not sure what he was expecting after years of clearly fake trailers that promised a game that would never get made. Then when they finally release what is supposed to be early access then it is a completely different style of game that lacks most of what was promised and looks almost nothing like the early trailers. Makes you wonder in the 5 years they were developing it if they put as much effort into the game as they did making fake trailers they may have actually had something that resembled it at least visually.

Re: Won't Someone Think of the Children? UK Moves to Protect Kids from Loot Boxes

Zenszulu

The biggest issue in a lot of this is parents link their cards in the first place to a child's account in the first place and leave them there so the child can start make impulse purchases and the touch of a button. All well and good putting these things in place but if they didn't have access to the money so easily to begin with it wouldn't be as much of an issue. Gift cards exist for a reason. Yes its not exactly good that children are constantly advertised digital stuff that unless bought then and there will be gone forever but limiting their ability to simply press by a button to buy also helps.

Re: No, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Is Definitely Not Releasing on PS4

Zenszulu

@Savage_Joe You do know there will also be a third part too right? Should that also be in development for the PS4 even though it probable wont come out until 2028 at the earliest? They have made a decision to cut off developing their newest games on the last generation of hardware now the current hardware is more readily available.

Re: No, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Is Definitely Not Releasing on PS4

Zenszulu

The third part will be PS6 only at the amount of time it takes to develop the games now. Anyone complaining about this game not being on the PS4 are they really surprised? By the time that gets completed by around 2028 do the same people complaining about this not coming to PS4 expect the next part also to come out on it?

Re: Sonic Origins Plus Catching Heat for Using Zoomed-In Game Gear Versions

Zenszulu

Since the early days of Sega doing any kinds of compilations when in comes to including any 8-bit Sonic games the have to my knowledge only ever done the Game Gear versions because there are all on that system so having them all display at the same resolution makes sense. Only 4 of the games listed were made natively for the Master System and one Sonic Blast was ported directedly from the Game Gear version in Brazil and as a result just displays a stretched full screen image not taking advantage of the higher resolution anyway.

Re: Resident Evil 4 Remake on PS4 Is Why Cross-Gen Needs to End

Zenszulu

Well since it is now pretty easy to get a PS5 they really should be focusing on that. It made sense when there was major supply issues but now that isn't really an problem. I often wonder how some games are even running on the base Xbox one when that still gets certain ports the one s versions seem bad enough. I am sure the ones actually porting them probably feel the same way as it makes their work look bad sometimes releasing a game on purposes that runs poorly.

Re: Reaction: PS Stars Is Overdue Yet Appreciated, But There's Lots of Room to Improve

Zenszulu

I think my biggest nit pick is in order to earn coins from games purchased you have to actually have an active subscription and for the most part it seems that they are trying to make you buy specific games only to get any kind of rewards. Not really great at this point and launching it with no integration on consoles seems odd it's not like that haven't been working on it all for months. It's quite a disjointed experience as it is now.

Re: Reminder: PS5, PS4 Loyalty Scheme PS Stars Is Available Now in Europe

Zenszulu

@WadeIsInsane no it's not understandable sorry the word simply has another meaning. It's not like the word is offensive in any way shape or form no matter what meaning used. So unless it was that kind of instance where it was seen as potential offense then that is the only time something should be changed. No need to change it simple because one country has a larger population so more of them could potentially be reading it.

Re: Reminder: PS5, PS4 Loyalty Scheme PS Stars Is Available Now in Europe

Zenszulu

The amount of people angry at the use of the word scheme and demanding it be changed or an explanation despite getting told a good reason for the use of the word and it not meaning anything negative is amusing. If you are given an explanation about the word and still refuse to accept it then that is on you.

On to the actual PS stars well it all seems a bit disjointed and if the only way to earn coins is by buying certain games digitally then it seems more like a way of boosting sales for games many wouldn't otherwise buy. If it was like the Nintendo system where you got coins based on anything you buy digitally I'd get it but not only a specific collection of games. Also for the amount of time they have been developing and planning it you would have thought there would be an way of tracking it on your console.

Re: Stroke the Dog and Now Cat 2,000 Times for 71 PS5, PS4 Trophies

Zenszulu

"Games" like this are just feeding into people's addictions now. When I see people bragging they have thousands of platinum trophies that they basically just spent loads on quick 5 minute games then I don't see that as an achievement but how much time and disposable cash they have. It used to be some what of a challenge I the early days of trophies and achievements in games where something like a platinum trophy meant you put time and effort in now those get burried under a mountain of shovelware.

Re: Press X for Trophies Is a Sad Indictment of PS5, PS4 Today

Zenszulu

It used to be getting platinum trophies for the most part meant something. Even if the games were relatively easy they used to have a 20 or 30 hour single player campaign to get through. Now getting more platinum trophies than others is more down to having a lot of money to be able to buy all of these cheap games and there are people who only play games like these and never anything of any kind of substance or challenge. Personally I think Sony needs to change its criteria for what is allowed to have a platinum trophy attached to it. It is also causing a huge addiction for some trying to climb leader boards simply by paying for all these games.

Re: Atari 50th: The Anniversary Celebration Brings 90 Classics to PS5, PS4 Later This Year

Zenszulu

In all honesty I don't see why many people will be that interested in the games. Yes they have a great place in history and I played many in the early 80s but many have aged horribly or were just bad at the time like the majority of the Jaguar library. I can very much expect all but the most dedicated of Atari fans to play most games for five minutes and never go back to them. For me the documentary aspect is the only interesting thing about it.

Re: Reaction: PS Plus' PS5, PS4 Restart Is Welcome and Smart

Zenszulu

While I was already subscribed to PS Now before the biggest thing for me was a refresh of some of the games that were sitting there that no one played and added new ones. What i am baffled by is how many PS3 games were dropped from the old service including a load of Sony published titles probably just so they can add them back at a later date for those who had never used the service before so weren't aware they were taken away before being added back. Although the Ubisoft stuff is welcomed too as hopefully all of the Assassin's Creed and Far Cry games get added in time.

Re: A Handful of Games Separate PS Plus Extra, Premium Lists in USA, Europe

Zenszulu

Was scrolling down thinking it wasn't much of a difference and then got to the premium list and seen how much more screwed we were getting especially with all of those Resident Evil games.

Been checking out the lists and even the list for all games doesn't seem to show everything. yesterday the first Infamous games wasn't showing anywhere but now is and I have at least spotted the the Batman return to Arkham games don't show on the complete list but do under the classics one. So the organisation really needs to be sorted out.

Re: Mini Review: Wonder Boy Collection (PS4) - Two Arcade and Two Mega Drive Games, But Questionable Value

Zenszulu

I was all for this until I heard the strictly limited release was containing games and variations of them not in the standard version. Was always a big fan of wonder boy games but don't plan on buying a stupidly expensive version for that privilege. If it mainly contained physical extras I wouldn't have a problem but this locks out one if the best games in the series in The Dragon's Trap which make the standard edition pointless to me.

Re: Sony Exceeds PS Plus Promise with Over 800 Games Across New Tiers

Zenszulu

Only thing that has annoyed me is the amount of PS3 games that have suddenly been dropped from streaming many of which are Sony published games like Killzone and Sly Cooper as well as many of the Sega and Konami games but they probably tried to negotiate a better deal. Saying that the PS Now list was stagnant for some time and there have been a lot of PS4 games added to make up for the losses. I'm covered until the end of November so I'll see how things go with adding new games until then but there is plenty of new stuff to keep me going until then.

Re: Persona 3 Portable, Persona 4 Golden Confirmed for PS5

Zenszulu

@Neverwild what wrong thing? I stated that people over reacted because the assumed that these games weren't coming to PlayStation because it was announced during the Xbox Showcase and wasn't instantly announced for PlayStation along side it. Nothing I have said is false information and you are over reacting to that. Thinking I am saying something I'm not.

Re: Persona 3 Portable, Persona 4 Golden Confirmed for PS5

Zenszulu

@Neverwild it doesn't matter if people were expecting it my facts about people over reacting are straight why are you taking offence to it? Nothing I said was factual incorrect people assumed the worsts because they weren't told right away. So not sure why you have an issue with what I said.

Re: Persona 3 Portable, Persona 4 Golden Confirmed for PS5

Zenszulu

All the people yesterday who were acting angry because these two games weren't announced for the PS5 yesterday during the Xbox Showcase. Why would they announce it then? When I seen some people acting like they were personally betrayed and Atlus had abandoned Sony. Some people need to get a grip and not jump to conclusions.

Re: Persona 3, 4, 5 Coming to PC and Xbox, No Mention of PS5, PS4

Zenszulu

@Akurusu it comes down to the mindset that some people feel they have to defend their purchase so much they get angry when people say anything bad about it or when they don't get the games they want. It's worse when you consider many of these people are adults that act this way. Gaming has developed into tribalism for some people and it makes them get irrationally angry at the silliest of things.

Re: Reaction: PS Plus’ Revamp Is Hours Away, But Sony Still Has a Game Pass Problem

Zenszulu

While I think it's good to have subscription services as a way to play a wide variety of games I don't think it should be a service used to only expect all the latest releases from all publishers. There seems to be a growing number of people that seem entitled to have every game as part of these services so they never have to pay full price for new games ever. The Xbox showcase today didn't exactly scream must subscribe to me but for others it might have done. I personally don't care if a game comes out day one as I don't always have the time to invest in every big release right away anyway and have used both PS Now and gamepasss as ways to play games I usually wouldn't play or buy myself. Relying solely on them though I could never do and think Sony is wise not to put all their games on day one.

Re: Persona 3, 4, 5 Coming to PC and Xbox, No Mention of PlayStation

Zenszulu

Some people are acting like this is the end of the world because two games were announced on Xbox and have yet to be announced on PlayStation. Very high chance the games will come out at some point weather its these versions of even possibly the PS2 versions. They were hardly going to announce if other systems were getting the games during an Xbox showcase were they.

Re: PS Plus Extra in Japan Gets Almost Every Trails Game on PS4

Zenszulu

I would imagine it's down to simply how popular jrpgs are there and not having a solid selection would be blasphemous not to have some like these. While it would be nice for those of us who like these kinds of games it may not happen in the early days because many are still considered niche in the west.
