Re: Days Gone 2 Could Have Released 'a Month Ago', Says Game Director

andrewsqual

Yep, it should have been out easily since its 4 years later since the first one.
Would have been so great but Sony caused discord at the studio when they forced them to do TLOU remake and then, when key figures walked out, learned from their mistake quickly and passed it back to ND.
Hoefully the studio is happy and making what they want but so much time and energy was wasted on TERRIBLE JIM RYAN AND HERMEN HULST INTERFERENCE.

Re: Reaction: Sony Flubs First Proper PS5 Presentation in Over 18 Months

andrewsqual

That was terrible, not trying to diss on the smaller games shown but if those sort of games weren't E3 2016, then they shouldn't be here.

And all the "that was a decent Xbox showcase lol" jokes miss the point so much. If THIS had of been an Xbox showcase, like E3 last year (which was abysmsl for an acrusl E3 showcase and its lies), Xbox fans would still be defending it 2 months later. There is the joke "LOL".

At least we are truthful.

Re: Soapbox: PS Plus Might Be Gaming's Best Subscription Service Now

andrewsqual

@Phornix If that's what Xbox is doing right, I don't want to know what they are doing wrong lol.

(I never subscribed to those extra PS Plus tiers ever. I don't want to subscribe to some temp game sub service PS or ESPECIALLY an Xbox one. I'll just stick to my 2500 games standard Plus from 2010, that is still banging and getting decent games to this day, unlike games with gold that didn't even make it to year 7 until it went stale).

Re: Soapbox: PS Plus Might Be Gaming's Best Subscription Service Now

andrewsqual

PlayStation Now already has been for years. 700 games for years now. And one of the biggest things nobody EVER talked about, you do not have to pay anything extra to play online........... even when they added PS4 games to the service in 2018.

So somebody with a PC never had to worry about this. 2 years after the launch of game pass and it was failing so hard, Xbox had no choice but to add the "Ultimate" gimmick and on every forum and blog I was trying to explain to people that PS Now has been "Ultimate" since it launched lol.

But nobody cared and the articles and over paid advertising just kept going and going and going. Game pass game pass game pass, yeah but did you know that game pass game pass game pass???? Now look where it has got them to this stage.

Re: Feature: Net Yaroze - Sony’s Fascinating First Foray into the World of Indie Game Development

andrewsqual

That fuzzy lion's head in the picture for the article brings me back lol. SUPER BUB and what a kickass tune it had too.

Another game I remember was "Adventure Game" which surprisingly had 3d graphics and a meta sense of humour. I remember an NPC even made a reference to South Park citing "Hey, at least we have a 3rd dimension unlike those South Park kids" or something like that.

Re: Yes, Sony Helped Optimise Final Fantasy 16 for PS5

andrewsqual

"Obviously, huge sums of money are still involved in exclusivity arrangements like this"

Really?

Hey Square Enix, do you want to NOT have to make a game for the garbage series s? Then come on over here and make a powerful PS5 only game like you did with FFVII Remake and PS4 and no interference from Xbone, we'll pay you nothing for the privilege of course.

Is that not how it goes down?

Re: Sony Has No Console Exclusivity Over Baldur's Gate 3

andrewsqual

Expect this the rest of the gen Xbox fans. When The Coalition had to step in and help out getting The Matrix demo running on series s because creators didn't want to be burdened with that annoying task, does that not speak volumes how EVERY other dev is going to be when being forced to make their current gen games for it?

Correct me if I am wrong please with countless gameplay or even screenshots of Xbox's own 1st party series s/x only games to date please (they don't have to be even out yet)...... you know, to squash these concerns.
You can't, that's the glaring issue.

Re: Reaction: Sony Continues to Fumble the State of Play Format

andrewsqual

It's a shame too because the very second State of Play ever in 2019 saw the re-reveal of FFVII Remake which was an atomic bomb of an announcement.

But yeah Suicide Squad.... I simply feel sorry for you if you actually thought a forced 4 player co-op game was EVER going to be good. Gotham Knights AND Suicide Squad are doa to me since there reveals in 2020.

Re: Sony Says It's Resolved Long-Term PS5 Stock Shortages

andrewsqual

And as usual, the biggest closet Xbot (right next to darth) over on N4G orchard needs you to know that PS5 has been in easy supply the past 12 months.
And he is going to take up 20% of the entire comments on the topic to let you know lol.

But then they go invisible on a 343i or Halo Infinite article for some reason.

Re: Microsoft Admits Its Games Are Worse Than Sony's

andrewsqual

Ahhh so this wasn't allowed to be a new episode of "Phil Spencer Says......."

It's just "Xbox" now that said this.

Orchard and darth terrified to comment on N4G as the biggest Xbox fanboys should be. Gangsta_Red embarrassing himself with his defending lol.

Re: Sackboy: A Big Adventure Has Proven Very Unpopular on PC

andrewsqual

It didn't prove popular on PlayStation. I buy most 1st party games day one, no matter what it is. But this thing is still priced too high, 2 years later..... and it's just a spin off by a hired in 3rd party developer.

Why did they waste resources on a version that won't even do 10% the sales of the measly PS4 and PS5 sales numbers lol? Jim and PlayStation have gone insane in throwing away money.

Re: PS Plus Expiry Dates Return to the PS Store, Because Sony

andrewsqual

@Orionsangel

"Full backwards Compatibility". Well that's a lie. Series s/x support zero Kinect cameras and their games. About 30% of the 360 library is where they stopped and about 40 actual Xbox original games.
"Full" is a blatant overstatement and you are being called on it.

Meanwhile 5000 PS4 games are playable on PS5 including over 800 PSVR games, even the 11 year old PS Move controller works.

Another Xbox myth debunked.

Re: Sony Will Continue to Make PS4 Games Moving Forwards

andrewsqual

Yet the PS4 looking game TLOU Part 1 is on PS5 only. PlayStation doing the usual thing the past year or 2 of damaging their brand and making zero sense.

They can take their cross gen games after God of War Ragnorok and shove it.

Horizon FW and GT7 are NOWHERE in the PS4 charts the past few months. Sounds like it was a waste bringing those games to last gen. And all that did was stop them from selling more on PS5, had they been mind blowing looking, MUST OWN, PS5 only games...... like every PlayStation console had in its first 2 years on the market before it.

Re: Xbox Appeared to Embargo PS5, PS4 Versions of Some Showcase Games

andrewsqual

Ouch. How does that work out for the delusional Xbots on N4G like orchard that have that DLC riddled E3 Showcase placed at an 8/10 lol?

The annual post Xbox showcase placebo high was already wearing off for them. This will make reality set in much faster.

If that showcase was an 8, then PlayStation at E3 2016 was a 26/10.

Re: Soapbox: Don't Let Psychonauts 2 Pass You By

andrewsqual

Nah, I don't buy games where the developer will never make anything for me again.

But you're welcome from all the PlayStation fans that supported the game on Kickstarter and helped make the game a thing at all.
Meanwhile, all of Microsoft's money and Halo Infinite is still garbage. Don't even pretend that it somehow helped Psychonauts.

But plenty of game pass users will let it "pass" by as usual.

Re: Abandoned PS5 Saga Sounds Eerily Familiar to Past Blue Box Projects

andrewsqual

I just don't care and never did. With Sony staying silent on debunking the Horizon Forbidden West delay, I just don't care anymore.

And it wouldn't have been delayed if Sony didn't insist on a pointless PC port of the first game, that barely sold a few thousand or whatever........... all for Guerilla to waste 7 months fixing said port after it already released.
It NOT coming to a second console, PS4, would have obviously helped it not being delayed too.

Speaking of PS4, this is just another in the long list of PS4 games coming in 2022 that SHOULDN'T be by that stage.
How many people were protesting in the streets to release Bloodborne on PS3 also in 2015? Oh yeah, NOBODY. So why is this a thing with the start of this gen???

Re: Sony's PS Plus Subscriber Count Just Dropped for the First Time

andrewsqual

Because when Sony reports on actual total real PS Plus subscribers right now, they are talking about actual total real PS Plus subscribers right now. It's gonna go up and down and I guess it's gonna be surprising when it goes down for the first time ever.

Its certainly better then Microsoft's funny number of people that have tried game pass for 1 second in their life. The problem is, there are people, even websites that convince themselves that the number Microsoft is talking about is actual total real game pass subscribers right now.
It isn't that latter. Because that former number CAN NEVER go down lol.

Even though we all know game pass numbers fluctuate massively when a big game comes along every year and a half like Gears 5. Don't pretend like that isn't a thing.
I even remember the most hardcore Xbox fans, 2 years ago, boasting about how they are going to use the gp trial to play Gears 5. Why even pretend that game pass has 20 million actual subscribers right now then?
Doesn't that mean that it's the biggest flop the games industry has ever seen? I mean why isn't at least 10 million people playing a new release that comes to the service within 2 or 3 days, or hell, even a measly ONE million people???

Re: Sony Confirms Nixxes Purchase Will Aid Future PC Ports

andrewsqual

@Fenbops It especially doesn't go down well when we could have been playing a new Horizon game right now had Guerilla not wasted resources on a PC version of an old game for a few more thousand or whatever sales.

Only that much? Detroit Become Human came to PC a year and a half ago and only sold 1 million a week ago. Its on PS4 3 years and sold 5 times that. Its clearly not worth the time wasting, when we could be playing new games now instead.

And we have now gone the longest in years that its taken Quantic Dream to announce their new game after their current one. They are probably working on those HIGHLY sought after Xbone and Switch ports now lol.
"The more that get to play it the better" or so they say, don't move on and push the industry forward or anything. Just get stuck in a rut doing ports instead.

Re: Sony Confirms Nixxes Purchase Will Aid Future PC Ports

andrewsqual

Good. The ONE thing I said in early 2020 is that if an of Guerrilla Game's time is WASTED on the PC version of a 4 year old PS4 game, I will be mad.

And then............. https://www.nme.com/news/gaming-news/less-horizon-zero-dawn-pc-updates-focus-horizon-forbidden-west-guerrilla-games-2860515
So that means they were actually taking away from development of their next game. If Horizon Forbidden West does not release this year its because they wasted 7 months on an ALREADY released PC game in 2020.

Thanks Sony, good job there, you lived up to EXACTLY what I didn't want to come out of releasing games on PC.

Re: After E3 2021 No Show, Sony's Seemingly Skipping Gamescom As Well

andrewsqual

@Ralizah Bad take. This time 13 months ago Sony put on a next gen event where their own games Spiderman Miles Morales, Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart, Demon's Souls Remake, Destruction All Stars and Returnal were revealed AND are all out right now.
And lets not forget that these games have Ray tracing and other bells and whistles.

Meanwhile Fable, State of Decay 3 and Perfect Dark still haven't a single ingame screenshot to their name with the 2 former revealed this time 12 months ago now.
And this is 3 years after daddy Phil said they won't ever announce a game too early ever again.
And the 2 major games Xbox has this year has pretty much no real ingame practical ray tracing, Halo and Forza. A year after the console comes out and they couldn't even get this stuff ready for the games' launches.

So let's be smart and actually look at what the competition is doing by comparison, which is practically nothing 8 months into the gen.

Sony could announce anything tomorrow that has a release date for this year going by what they did this time last year.

Re: Reaction: E3 Is a Relic Desperately Clinging to Relevancy

andrewsqual

Just saw the moron over on N4G Obscure_Observer say this

"Those losers are giving Playstation fans (not the diehard fanboys) a bad name and reputation.

They´ll cry and whine over and over that E3 is dead, E3 is not relevant anymore blah blah blah just because Ryan broke the tradition of many things that made Playstation what it is today.

PC gamers are happy, Nintendo gamers are happy, Xbox gamers are happy and even mobile gamers are happy. And we can´t wait for E3 2022."

He said it, he actually said it, WAIT TIL E3 2022, HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, I just can't believe it. You can't make this crap up.
E3 literally hasn't ended yet and he is already telling US to wait for E3 when that is exactly what he is doing and what he will be doing for eternity.

Don't worry obtuse_observer, your E3 high will die in another day or 2 and then you will realise yet again, Xbox still has no games.

Goddamn I needed that chuckle. ^_^

Re: Sony Bigwigs Congratulate Xbox for E3 2021 Showcase

andrewsqual

Talks about poisonous comments, then says garbage like this "it’ll be interesting to see how Sony responds to the impossibly generous value proposition of Game Pass, which is the thorn in PS5’s side"

PS Plus is kicking game pass ass in 2021. The amount of PS5 games we already got day one with Plus is incredible.
Yet again, your argument, like most game pass arguments is "just you wait, game pass is gonna have this game or that game in a year or 2".
Pretty poisonous, non argument, opinion fanboy crap, right there.

Re: Horizon Forbidden West, Spider-Man: Man Miles Morales 'Built from the Ground Up' for PS5, Despite PS4 Versions

andrewsqual

@rachetmarvel This sucks that they clearly hid this. But why do people keep bringing this up with Halo lol?

Yeah Microsoft did say a similar thing with Halo....................... and didn't Microsoft show off an Xbox DAMAGING piece of terrible gameplay that killed any hype there was for next gen Xbox, killed even more by the feedback and then delay of Halo???

At least Horizon 2 was so gorgeous looking, not a single person said it looks like a last gen game like Halo Infinite, or even a current gen game at that. That's because a 2021 PS4 game is STILL going to be incredible looking it turns out.

And another thing. Xbox talked up supporting Xbone for years....... and yet they kill production of 2 of their Xbone skus months ago because they are selling so bad. One of them was Xbonex, a console not even 2.5 years old yet. PS4 Pro is still selling strong nearly 4 years later and being made. Why is nobody talking about THAT mixed messaging?

Re: The Last of Us 2 Taken Off PlayStation Store Following Indefinite Delay

andrewsqual

I don't get it. We were supposed to have the game already at this point before it had been pushed to May. Very likely 99.9% of the work was done and right now, the game should have pretty much been going gold. So how can it be pushed back indefinitely unless there was problems even WITHOUT covid-19.

Or was it the fact it has a pandemic in the game? It couldn't be issues with releasing the game. People are moaning about FFVII Remake's release but its a tiny percentage. I still haven't received my 1st Class Soldier Edition of FFVII Remake and I doubt I would have without a global pandemic lol.

Re: Soapbox: How PS5's Deep Dive Should Have Been Handled

andrewsqual

Better clarity on the PS4 BC would have helped. And SHOW ANYTHING that wasn't a static presentation slide. They were my only gripes. Even the PS4 reveal had a small tech demo to demonstrate the big deal of offloading CPU tasks to the GPU, something that is still blowing us away this gen and will continue to do before next gen even gets here.
