Re: Ubisoft All-Timer Far Cry 3 Is Getting a 60fps Update on PS5, with More to Follow

"While we still pray to the moon gods for an update to Bloodborne..."
Him... Guys, that's not the same company...
fromsoftware I'd not Ubisoft !!!
I guess Ubisoft is trying to survive after the middle sales of the Star wars and the Assassin creed last episodes...
A very good news regarding FC blood dragon !
Of course you need to be a player born in the 80ies to really appreciate it . 👍

Re: A Month After PS5 Performance Update, The Division: Definitive Edition Leaks

johndoe89

Well... Ubisoft is not in Hell but in a bad situation... Miracle : it's better to optimise an old game than create a bad sequel !!
I had the chance to live in Washington and NYC and frankly, even if I prefer division 2 (oh Joy !...) the first one had a specific mood..
Ubisoft is simply doing what Microsoft has made with the FPS boost.
Can fromsoftware do the same with Bloodborne? I know.. I'm dreaming....

Re: Huge Ghost of Yotei PS5 Patch Drops Next Week, Adds New Game+, Items, and More

@EK42 "weak" in the sens of writing...;
She has only one idea : vengeance ! POINT. OK she started to understand what the "chain of events", she created with her blind fury, in the end have caused to other , around her....
Still, for me, this Yotei is a Tsushima 1.5, without the surprise, with stupid mini games (you want me to draw ?? well, it's advance : the game asks you to draw a square symbol... make some circle movements and .. voila! Done.. wow..). and don't start with the mini game with the " Japanese guitar" or the money game... YUK !! I'm sorry but again, you can expect some quality in the writing , when it's a FIRST PARTY game !
Sucker Punch had 5 years to do this..... Did they went to Hawaii ???

Re: Terminator 2D: No Fate (PS5) - A Brief Blast of 16-Bit Nostalgia

johndoe89

ok.. 43 minutes to finish the game and... 30 euros...
I know I know, it's an "arcade" game, "à la metal slug".
Still... I'll wait for a sale. I'm a little disappointed in the end.. So much delay for ... yes, a good game , but that short...
I think I will forget all the future games I expect : that way I won't be disappointed , day one.

Re: Japanese Ghost of Yotei PS5 Sales Are Just About Hanging On

@Rich33 I was deceived by this game.
One, this game was cooking for few years now (I was expecting a certain level of Quality here...),
Two , it's a first party game here...Sucker Punch is not Guerrilla Games : it's "roughly" the same general idea (= Open world), but with Horizon dawn.. you have a GOOD story.
Maybe you don't like Horizon dawn (Some of my friends don't like the idea of chasing big giant robots....), but the sequel , Horizon Forbidden West had a GOOD story, with plenty different landscape. Maybe Guerrilla Games put more resources, had more money, but the result is there.
In this sequel, Sucker Punch had no idea for a good story. I'm the kind of player who play, mostly for the story.
I don't play those silly games , like Battlefield or Call of duty anymore. I've done this in the past, but now i'm older and bored easily (you have only one life...).
it's good to see that Sucker Punch continue to support this game (but how many games SP launches per year ..?? not much, hum?). It' still a big deception this G of Yotei, for me.
I understand now why some developers DON'T make any sequels at all and create different stories.
This is the case of Quantic Dreams, for example.
I'll be "nice" here : Sucker Punch is controlled by Sony and my guess is that they didn't have any choice for their next game...
I still don't understand , WHY Sony doesn't want a remaster or a remake of Infamous franchise (and I mean the three first episodes..).

Re: Japanese Ghost of Yotei PS5 Sales Are Just About Hanging On

johndoe89

@Max_the_German because it's true !!!
Boring story (vengeance!!!), boring characters, same bugs and gameplay as Tsushima, IA still stupid and... That 's THE news : boring mini games. Frankly, 5 years for that... I get fired in my job for this level of product... And I don't have an army of marketing people or influencers to recoup my average job and sell something.... Shameful

Re: Poll: Does the Steam Machine Pose a Threat to PS5?

johndoe89

Not the same public!
Frankly there are less and less exclusive games on consoles... Sadly too few indie games compare to what you can get on PC. I'm very excited by the steam machine.
Will I abandon my PS5 ? For the moment, no. Why? Many Japanese shmups are released on switch or PS4. So I can't find those games on. Xbox serie x. People are excited by some new hardware, but they need to keep their head cool : the steam machine is NOT a super system with the last Nvidia graphical card !!
Take out FSR and this 4K 60hz is just a mirage !! Still the form factor (sorry but the PS5 is an ugly machine), the new steam controller (WITH TMR joysticks ... You can still dream of those with Dual sense controllers...) and of course a VERY rich catalog with REAL interesting discounts is not a bad deal too.
Time for Sony or Microsoft to innovate a little for the next Gen!!!!

Re: PS6 Could Be Less Than Half the Price of Microsoft's 'Very Premium' Next-Gen Xbox

johndoe89

I don't know the future but... This actual generation is not that great for games running 4k 60Hz.
How those new consoles will be different??
New fonctions ? What about let players read there audio cd on PS5 ? And why 4K at all cost?? This generation of consoles is struggling with Unreal engine 5... So Microsoft and Sony want new hardware able to upscale 720p textures to 4K? Good job guys !!!

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Ghost of Yotei?

johndoe89

@Nexozi what can I say...
I paid 80 euros for copycat of Tsushima.
Not a big deal, but I won't buy any Sucker punch for a while... Like kojima 's games ...
Oh well : at least I'm not the core target of this , the casual gamers.
Let 's stop talking about this game, it's not worth it.
Oh and NO I'm a douche YouTuber, who knows everything I'm too old for this.
I was playing video game in 1985, so.. I'm gen X. And I'm disappointed by the state of actual video game world. It was not better in the past, only the players were more respected by studios. Games were working, day one... Can you believe it ??!!

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Ghost of Yotei?

johndoe89

4 poor.
Why? Easy : we waited 5 years for this open world and the story is just BAD.
Why does this matter? Yotei is a copy and paste of Tsushima minus a good story.
Sucker punch watched Kill Bill (good for them...) and they had small ideas for some silly activities (playing music, cooking,...).
And that's about it. And this absolutely silly story, where it's ONLY about revenge, no matter what... We don't believe it for more than 5 minutes!!
For me , I prefer to think that Sony forced sucker punch to make this sequel...
It's perfect for casual gamers, fighting is boring like Hell.
I guess that IF you play 1 or 2 hours for small sessions , it's ok... But more... Yuk .
I don't trust sucker punch anymore and I will forget this game in few weeks. This game is Not worth 80 euros...
Wait for it in the bargain bin, in few weeks...
A waste of time and I'm disappointed by Sucker Punch...

Re: 'As Long as You're Having Fun, We Don't Care': Ghost of Yotei Dev Comments on Open World Freedom

johndoe89

I loved Tsushima (now more than 68 hours...).
Playing a woman is ok for me, but I'm sad to say that Sucker punch has done the minimal work, here. They improved the game, yes but they missed the Story... And it's what will push the player to continue!
Same FedEx side missions, stupid AI enemies, the lock problem with more than 3 enemies on us is still there (there is an option, which is actived by default... but NO miracle), same boring Temples missions,...
But again, not a bad game and when you ride horse , if everything "clicks" , it's most of the time magic !
I'm pretty sure the game is far too long to complete for the last 10 hours, IMO.
I was expecting more from Sucker punch.
Can we have now a remaster of the 3 infamous games from the PS3 , in a nice compilation ??? I'm sure the vast majority of Gen Z never played PS3 games..

Re: Silent Hill 2's PS5 Console Exclusivity Is Coming to an End

johndoe89

@MrStark Silent HD collection.. what a joke !
When Konami outsourced to an average studio, to do the job.
Even the PS3 was a little better because of patch that didn't come on Xbox.
For the PS5 PRO , I think we can sit on our hands. What a joke Blunder studio...
Even Cronos was average at best....

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Silent Hill F?

johndoe89

A good 6. And I'm generous here !!!
It's NOT a Silent Hill game at all.
Nothing scary, same boring enemies... And of course : the infamous combats.
This Silent Hill looks -in it's form - as the first Silent Hill, on PSX. You go from point A to B.
as Konami can only do remakes (subcontracts only.. ) we will get a remaster of the first one... A waste of time and money. But fanboys will buy this episode, no matter what.... Good luck with that.

Re: Poll: Are You Playing Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles?

johndoe89

Wait a minute: you want me to buy again a PSX (or PS2...I don't remember anymore..) ?
You took an upscaler program and "let's go".
The graphical result is ...awful. the only problem is this : many good tactical games were launched since the release of this game... And no, this title is not a must to play! It's a classic,yes, but not much...

Re: Dying Light: The Beast (PS5) - The Series at Its Best

"Parkour system is still cool..."
Well.. sorry but what a pain in the rear regarding climbing walls... Awfull.
The night is terrifying... Well no really. Try to run forward in the in DL and you are dead.
Here, no problem, you'll loose 25% of your life and you will arrive at your destination...
Oh and AI regarding the enemies (I'm thinking about bosses...): it's laughable!!!
The car is just a way to accelerate game between 2 POI. why on earth create an open world of you don't really want to fill up the big map ???
But , Yes, it's a good game for a DL.

Re: Ghost of Yotei (PS5) - The Greatest Sucker Punch Game Ever

johndoe89

@morrisseymuse You are not alone !!
It's a good think that studios have the idea of "open world"..
Sadly... sadly you need to fill up those empty spaces.
So, yeah, repetitive missions, FEDEX missions, that's how it works all the time. Yotei is a good sequel... of the same game !!
Story is pretty basic for me (vengeance.. wow, that's very original !!!). Im' not saying I will never play this one, but I'll wait few moths for a good discount and some patches, as usual....
