Re: Sony Still Hasn't Announced Its E3 2018 Press Conference

bbq_boy

Lol for a console producer not turning up to an event like E3 is like a champion sportsman not turning up to compete cos they keep beating the competition. Sony needs to be at E3, so the competition can step up their game! And possibly, seeing the best perform at anything is inspiration for all of us!! On a different note... what's happened to Nintendo Switch? My mates bought Zelda BotW, Mario Kart, Splatoon just before xmas 2017, but since Jan '18 have lost all interest!!! Haha expecting the mud pies!!

Re: Feature: 15 Games We Want to See at E3 2018

bbq_boy

I'd love a standalone PS VR which can watch netflix, YouTube, etc just like my smart TV. So I don't have to startup PS4 each time and adjust head tracking collaboration every I lay down on my fat sofa! Fortnite lengthy campaign for sole players would be nice and news of killzone sandbox open world game would be epic grand theft auto 7? 8...lost track of it all.

Re: Shenmue I & II Searching for Sailors on PS4 in 2018

bbq_boy

Any chance of a remaster like shadow of colossus?! BUT not so different like Secret of Mana? I think I spent more time collecting miniatures in Shenmue than enything else! Ah dreamcast we had good times back then (and sore thumbs cos of silly gamepad!)

Re: Sony Is Creating a New Game Development Team in San Diego

bbq_boy

That's the great thing about passionate creatives/devs/writers! They come up with new ideas that break the mould and excite us gamers all again. Eg. Drake's daughter gets kidnapped (by ex boss from previous games) and goes rebellious for a short while... Then seeing Elena having a breakdown taken away to mental hospital, whilst Sam goes on a mad revenge spree, whereas Sully and Nathan need to make tough choices to help rescue their daughter by going on tough missions for the captors... If emotionally produced like last of us/uncharted 4 I'd cry like a baby all again!

Re: Destiny 2's Second Expansion, Warmind, Launches in May

bbq_boy

Is it a coincidence that curse and osiris is in the title! Maybe there is a God and destiny's worship of idols took it too far lol! I miss Bungie days of Halo when it was all about sci-fi races and totally out there. Maybe the use of human myths just makes it too 'familiar' and loses the imagination of what sci-fi is all about - new worlds, new races, new friends and foes. Can you imagine Star Wars Jedi faces Odin or Ra or Gaia! Jar jar the demigod of Venus. Or mass effect bringing in merlin. Meh!

Re: Review: God of War (PS4)

bbq_boy

Great review Sammy! Thank you for not giving away any spoilers. Can't wait to jump in. 25 hours... That's like 2 weeks of pure entertainment for me as a working fella

Re: WipEout Omega Collection PSVR Update is Available Now

bbq_boy

Hmmm.. Apart from 2048 I thought the rest of the courses were okayish. Maybe this game could do with a story campaign, RPG levelling element for customising ship, hp vs more weapons, tracks across cities in space and varied planets, maybe a war torn galaxy where different alien races settle their anger by racing in WipeOut tourneys. Team 3 v 3. Traps on roads. Prestige increases will get hero to be hired by more powerful space Mafia families. Dunno....

Re: PlayStation VR Becomes Even More Affordable as Sony Cuts Prices

bbq_boy

Nice I think it's close to that £200 sweet spot! That's like half a weeks pay I've been using it for VR games and to play epics like witcher 3 and fortnite on its cinema mode. To all those sitting on the fence, imagine switching your TV off, laying down in a comfy position on your sofa and watching YouTube, netflix, game broadcasts and favourite movies in imax mode! Truly epic and immersive. Once we hit 2nd or 3rd gen and I can easily see it replacing my TV for sole use.

Re: New Cyberpunk 2077 Details Include Character Creation, Huge Story, Potential Multiplayer

bbq_boy

I love following the protagonist in story telling games. For example Red dead redemption, Last of Us, TW3, Horizon ZD, God of war. There's like a connection of understanding how the character feels and getting drawn into their persona. If any of the games I've mentioned just allowed a random character etc like Borderlands, dragon age inquisition, monster Hunter, Skyrim then I feel the world and game mechanics take focus and I don't really care if the chars live or die. Atm... I guess Cyberpunk is giving freedom to replay the game with different classes much like the RPG dice and pencil game. Can't wait to see the game in action!

Re: Star Wars Battlefront 2 Revamps Entire Progression System Amid Controversy

bbq_boy

I think it's only fair that since so many of us complained about mtcs, that as a decent gamers we give this game a go now. It's like saying thanks for hearing us out EA. And as passionate as we are about our hobby we are also fair and honor our opinions and forgiving. I'll give it a go now now since the mtcs are only cosmetic. I do like battlefront btw just waiting for re-reviews incase the levelling system is still messed up (ie. All talk but not fixed) and unfair to paid players.

Re: Ex-Mass Effect and ANTHEM Writer Leaves BioWare for Second Time

bbq_boy

Maybe as a professional writer micro transactions dumbs down or makes a cohesive storyline pants?! And he thought meh, if a game is gonna be full of mtc garbage just hire a lackey or roll a die and make up some mumbo jumbo pointless dialogue... Ps. my comment is speculative and just waffling! Not to be taken seriously

Re: Review: Moss (PS4)

bbq_boy

The demo left me wanting more and your review is a positive buy for me. Your 4 hours will probably be 6 for me as I tend to take my sweet time playing games nowadays. And I'm so happy this is a game I could complete in one session! I have so many huge 20+ hour games sitting in my backlog that when I look at them I ponder, "One day I'll find time to play you..."

Re: Feature: Are You Still Hooked on Monster Hunter: World?

bbq_boy

Loving it still despite being close to tears being battered each time I first encounter a new monster! I gotta admit this game has driven me to Google a lot to learn the weaknesses of the monsters and to swing my switch axe better. Oh and the hook of getting limited armour pieces like Aloys and upcoming street fighter skins is driving me onwards and upwards

Re: Monster Hunter: World is Now Capcom's Fastest Selling Game of All Time

bbq_boy

Congrats Capcom! Quality is abundance in this game and great reviews really helped put the word out. Oh and battling monsters on a big 4k screen really increases the atmosphere! What I love about this version of MH is grouping up with a bunch of randoms and slapping a monster to bits! The comradarie is awesome! As I got older some of my mates prefer other games and there was a fear of losing that gaming Co op spirit. However the PlayStation community is awesome and co op is strong in this game! I love it when a high level hunter is in the pack and I can just sit back and chillax a bit more lolol.

Re: Guide: The Best PS4 RPGs

bbq_boy

That's a flipping amazing list for the PS4. Many of those on my library but so many I've not completed cos I keep buying the next big thing! However Horizon I did complete and that was awesome. What's crazy is that most of those RPGSs are in the 9/10 score range. Thanks to all the game developers for their hard work, creativity and passion!

Re: PlayStation Profits Soar as PS4 Reaches 76.5 Million Units

bbq_boy

@Sensechat it's funny how fanboys have nothing better to do on Nintendo sites so they bring toxicity to their competitor's sites. I guess there's nothing new to play in Jan 2018 in Switch? How about Feb or March ;D hey on PS4/Xbox we have huge games like Monster Hunter World, PUBG, fortnite, Dragon Ball Z, etc. Why not join us and just play the games? There's even a huge community of The Division, Fifa, COD, battlefront, destiny, world of tank which you can participate in. Mario and Zelda are good but Co op with the world is even better! Stay happy dude.

Re: Guide: The Best PS4 Fighting Games

bbq_boy

That's a phenominal list of fighting games. This generation of gaming has been top notch! But on another note some critics were implying whether fighting games are dead (http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2016-02-19-watch-are-fighting-games-losing-popularity)check out the comments too - quite negative and toxic! Or the console is dead. Or the single player is dead! Or physical media is dead! Great to see developers and top products overcome the critics! Boo to negativitism!

Re: Talking Point: Could Microsoft's Xbox Game Pass Model Work on PS4?

bbq_boy

Hey how about Microsoft copy the Spotify model? Play as much as you want for free and just watch adverts every hour! Pay to remove adverts! However I could only afford and have enough time to play on one console so I'd rather choose the one with more exclusives and access to every multi-platform game. Hence ps4. £7.99 per month or £98 per year, does Microsoft have more than 3 decent exclusives to justify paying £100 bucks a year?! Hate being locked into subscriptions eg. Netflix, love film, now tv, sports, virgin, TV licensing, etc.

Re: Heavy Rain's Sales Reach a Ridiculous 5.3 Million Units

bbq_boy

Great game! Kept me guessing til the very end. Can't wait for detroit. Sony are pretty cool dudes who take risks and spend money on creativity and pushing the gaming medium. On another note, it's great to see higher graphical version re-releases on a new generation console. It makes sense to me as a new generation of gamers might have missed them in the past. I mean new generations get to listen to great songs from the past, as well as films so why not games

Re: 'People Ask for Story-Based Games, But Don't Necessarily Buy Them'

bbq_boy

Hmm... Then zelda and Mario must be seriously struggling on switch (not true)! Whilst Horizon Zero Dawn (4 million on only one console), Uncharted 4 (9 million) and Persona 5 (2 million) must be hurting their respective companies bottomline - I don't think so! What about games like divinity souls or xcom 2, these companies like what they're doing and making a living? And what happened to Lawbreakers, battleborn or Prey as these are pure multiplayer games yet they sold poorly at retail?oh and sadly driveclub a promoted MULTIPLAYER game didn't sell too well did it? Seems at the end of a day if a single or multiplayer game is made excellently and gets good reviews it will sell. If it's average or garbage it won't. Been like this since the 80s... As fallout 4 (ooh! Also a huge single player bestseller 12million copies) says 'war never changes.'

Re: Jim Ryan Promoted to Deputy President of Sony Interactive Entertainment

bbq_boy

@YummyHappyPills everyone makes mistakes even poor old Jim Ryan. But can't you see his achievements have majorly outweighed his cons? 20 years marketing the playstation brand. This is the guy who went through the turbulent start of PS3 and battled on and is part of Sony that has helped PS4 dominate this console generation, that is part of a console generation where critics said it'll die and instead it's grown massively to near 75million consoles and is not stopping! Also providing some of the best games in any console generation. Haven't we all said a few dumb things? But have you or I fallen down and got back up stronger than before? This guy and Sony have got up and fought on, probably doing more than what you or I do in our average day lives. I say give praise where praise is due!

bbq_boy

And lots of social boardgaming like Scythe, Smallworld, Clank, Betrayal, Carcassonne and Exploding Kittens!
