Re: Soapbox: I Think I'm Over Trophies

d_philly33

I never used to be huge on collecting trophies but something shifted in my perception of them over the last year and a half or so I’d say. I’m not entirely sure what it is, it might be my competitiveness and wanting to get more than some of my friends, but I feel oddly compelled to get as many as I possibly can. There is a sense of accomplishment with getting them, but on the other hand you can sit back and realize that they ultimately mean nothing in the grand scheme of things. Similar to getting “likes” on a post on Instagram or other social media. It’s a very odd phenomenon

Re: Sony Has a Mystery Event Planned for PAX Online Next Week

Not sure if anyone else has noticed but Insomniac Games has been posting a different picture on Instagram every day for the last two weeks... They’ve been alternating between Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart and Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales (with a reference to the 9 year anniversary of Resistance 3 this past Sunday). I think we may finally be getting some much sought after info next week if I was to guess. Maybe a surprise return to Resistance on PS5 as well as a deep dive for Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales? Probably being more than a little hopeful with Resistance but I could see Spidey being a huge talking point on a PS5 price/release date reveal

Re: Soapbox: PS5 Will Be Sold on the Strength of Its Sequels

That’s a tough one to decide on just one lol I chose Days Gone, I truly enjoyed it and would love to see another outing for Deacon, especially after the Nero ending. That said I also loved God of War, Spider-man, Horizon Zero Dawn and Ratchet & Clank. I really enjoyed Until Dawn and like The Order: 1886. It’d be perfect to get a follow up on each of these! *fingers crossed

Re: Of Course Assassin's Creed Valhalla Brings Back the Worst Part of the Series

d_philly33

I might be in the minority when I say this but I honestly wish this game series didn’t have the present day sections. It might be because I didn’t really play the early games but I always thought it would be more fun/cohesive to play as just the assassin from the past, not the present day counter part. The animus setup always gets a bit annoying to me

Re: PS Plus May 2019 PS4 Games Announced

I’ve been curious about What Remains of Edith Finch for awhile and Overcooked sounds like a fun one. Not too shabby, although I wouldn’t have minded a game like Mortal Kombat X which is on the PlayStation hits list. Wouldn’t have been bad timing with 11 releasing last week as a way to maybe entice more people to jump into that series (myself included).

@get2sammyb hey Sammy, this is a semi-random question but in combat do you have the option to toggle between shoulder viewpoints while using a gun or are you limited to the over the shoulder view on the right side? I like being able to switch shoulders while playing, although I typically use the right side

Re: PSN Credit Is Inexplicably Unavailable Again at Amazon

d_philly33

Can confirm that the US Amazon website currently does not have digital codes available for PSN for gift cards or ps plus. Spider-Man and Days Gone are also unavailable for preorder. Same thing happened to God of War (luckily I preordered that ahead of time) and Detroit: Become Human a few months ago. Not sure what the issue is between Sony and Amazon but it’s a bit frustrating
