Re: Review: Dynasty Warriors 9 (PS4)

Was expecting as much.
Last time I counted I had over 80 musou games and that was quite while ago.
This one looked off from the start and sounded worse and worse the more news we got.
I really hope they go back to the previous gen and work upwards from there.
The series sure could use some new ideas and needs to evolve a bit, but this clearly was the wrong way to go about it.

@HungryWolf
Ah that's good to know.
But I've been buying every single Neo Geo game that they release on Switch and have just bought the Hori arcade stick for it as well, so I'll continue there as my main arcade platform.
All those Psikyo ports and other arcade games help as well.

@get2sammyb True. But I can't deny that putting Injustice 2 at number 1 really threw me off.
Damn, forgot about Skullgirls... That's what I get for ordering it from LRG and having to wait over a year to actually, well still be waiting on it... lol
Also strange how KOF 98 and Waku Waku 7 aren't on PS4, yet they are on Switch. Brilliant games as well, although they are polar opposites.

Re: PUBG Dev Isn't Too Happy About Fortnite's Battle Royale Mode

Tough luck. They don't own that particular genre of games, nor do they have the right to attack others that move in on this genre.
Looks like they are worried that someone might upstage them.

Just make sure to create the superior game and leave the rest to the market to decide.
Making public comments like that just makes you come of as whiny brats.

Re: Review: LawBreakers (PS4)

meppi64

Yeah, I still don't see it.
There's nothing that stands out in this game at all.
Just a run of the mill cobbled together mp FPS that has been done to death by nearly everyone, and in most cases done better to begin with.

Re: Opinion: Why Sony Is Zagging While the Industry Zigs

meppi64

That's one of the problems with the industry today. Whenever a new trend emerges the big publishers jump on it and all of a sudden everything needs to be just that.
It's no surprise that EA, Activision and Ubisoft are the ones that are mentioned here as they are the ones who tend to take the least risk and produce games mostly in a "by the numbers" philosophy. Which is great for squeezing every last dime out of an overdone genre, but in the end just gets repetitive and stale.

Sure, it'll attract a core number of consumers as always because that's what it's been focus tested to do. But it's no wonder that more and more people are starting to look for something different and want to get off the hamster wheel.
So the publishers and developers who create games that stand on their own, do something different and buck the trend will always find a place into my collection.

Re: Poll: Are You Buying Horizon: Zero Dawn?

meppi64

It would have been a day 1 purchase for me were it not for the Switch coming out 2 days later.
Been waiting 6 years for the next console Zelda and since bother games are big adventure games, I'm not going to be playing them alongside each other. Once I finish Zelda, I'll pick up Horizon for sure.

Re: Nintendo Supposedly Shunned Square Following Final Fantasy VII's Move to PlayStation

meppi64

Yet no mention of how they came back crying to Nintendo after they nearly bankrupting themselves with The Spirits Within and begged them to be able to make games for the Game Boy Advance which ended up saving the company.
Yamauchi reigned Nintendo with an iron fist, that's very clear to anyone even slightly familiar with the brand, but you can't argue with the results it brought them.

Re: This The Last Guardian Ending Easter Egg Will Settle Some Arguments

meppi64

How is this something that's just been discovered?
It's not something you'll easily miss unless you shut of the game immediately after finishing it. :-/
I've seen this the day after the game came out since I finished it in two sittings and people were already talking about this scene all over the internet by then.

Re: Review: Assetto Corsa (PS4)

@Tasuki Now I've seen it all!
What the hell is going on here lately? :-/

What's the next step? We have to buy you guys games as well so that they don't get reviewed months after the fact or not at all?

@Jake3103 "Maybe go to a place that specialises in steak next time?"
Not sure what to take from this.
Do you mean that PushSquare is like a fast food place that targets the lowest common denominator?
If so, o...k.... I guess. lol
