Re: The Lord of the Rings: Gollum (PS5) - There's Nothing Precious About This

@RadioHedgeFund @Uromastryx @Ara I love Gollum. The origins behind his character are interesting, and he's used in dynamic ways within the original books. I also have friends who were interested in this game.

Though considering the number of you who are saying nobody likes Gollum, it does seem like he's definitely more disliked than liked, which lends credence to your points. But there are people out there, yeah.

Re: Round Up: What Was Announced at the PlayStation Showcase?

@UltimateOtaku91 As someone who has regularly followers every gaming scene I can possibly find. No one genuine actually wants more live service games. Nintendo has been trying to release their games live service style by releasing stuff half baked and then finishing it later, usually not even bothering to fully patch it up even. This is a common complaint among fans. And those on mobile have been getting increasingly annoyed with the formula because games that are online only which usually have IAPs end up getting shuttered after only two years. And I've watched almost every Xbox showcase since 2015, if you read the live chat comments on one of those videos, the amount of moaning about Microsoft's newest shooty game, whichever generic one they show, is enormous.
Large companies get a large amount of flak no matter what they do, but sometimes it's justified, and I think trend chasing something that was ethically questionable to begin with is deserving of some flak.
Additionally, check comments on Nintendo and Xbox gaming sites, particularly Nintendolife and Pure Xbox, you'll find people similar to yourself making the same argument about how nobody gives their competitors flak for this or that. It's simply incorrect no matter who says it, so if you're not seeing the criticisms of competitor's products, you're probably looking in the wrong place.

Re: Not Even Sony's Been Able to Avoid the Enormous Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Hype

@supergurr I am a Disney and Nintendo fan. I vapidly dislike most games Nintendo has put out recently, including TOTK and couldn't be bothered to watch Strange World.

On another note, you're not really all that wrong. But if we're being accurate, most fan bases suffer from this curse. Try telling a Sly Cooper fan that you don't like Sly 2. You will be sacrificed on their alter.

Re: Digimon World: Next Order Could Be Coming West on PS4

I'm pretty excited, I've played every Digimon RPG except Data Squad and Dawn/Dusk.

Cyber Sleuth wasn't the best, I like to focus on three Digimon so I prefer Digimon World 2's combat, and Digimon World 2 had a more vibrant world, which is saying a lot.

I want a real digital world like in 1, 3, and Re:Digitize.
