Re: PS Plus Games Avoid Weekend Leak for First Time in Five Months

themcnoisy

I've got a really weird feeling about the next state of play. Really weird.

I'm thinking we will be getting a brand new game which will be downloadable until January. And do you know what game that is?

You know what game it is. The Last of Us multiplayer game by the old treyarch team Sony signed up a couple of years ago

Re: PS4 Exclusive God of War Releasing on PC in January

Everyone has fair points so far, quite an enjoyable comments section. My two pence;

Sony are using staff to develop these ports when we are crying out for PS5 stuff. I think that's fair and I want more games!

What's the point in buying into an ecosystem if it's games are being built towards the lowest common denominator - In this instance, low end PCs?

Is this PC centric direction because of Chinas appetite for PC gaming? And loads of Chinese companies are about to bring crazy good PC games out? They hardly have a console market to speak of. I think this is the most reasonable hypothesis. Sony and Microsoft are trying to cater to a new group of gamers brought into gaming through MMOs and mobile crap. Whoopee the golden age is behind us people.

Sod it. PS5 will be my last console. I'm taking up going outside and gardening.

Re: Yakuza: Like a Dragon Sequel Announced and In Development

themcnoisy

Sorry but the Yakuza team release games far too quickly.

I'm a big fan of Yakuza zero and then every game since has been practically the same with some minigames and characters replaced. Quality over quantity especially if you want me to play like the 20th game set in the same space.

Re: Poll: Are You Happy With Your PS Plus Games for September 2021?

Yay can't wait to play Hitman. Gonna snipe from the sidelines and tell everyone how terrible this selection is. Demon Souls / Ratchet and Clank or Miles Morales. They are the ones we want. Sony is now just a carcass left in a locker compared to the start of the PS4. Looking at this selection was like finding my wife killed by Santa. Funny for a second then you realise what's happened and it wasn't a rotund happy go lucky hairy guy with loads of presents who killed her but a slaphead walking barcode battler dressed as santa. My life is ruined. Noooooooo.

Re: PS Plus September 2021 PS5, PS4 Games Announced

The reality is Sony have to go big or go home.

Overcooked is a marmite game. If you like that style awesome, if you don't its monotonous and stressful with a less than elite memory.

As for Hitman 2, of course it's a great game. But when Hitman 3 is here it feels like a letdown.

Predator could be decent but the reviews are all bad so yeah. Not a great month for me. We badly need some big big games.

Re: Mini Review: Quake (PS4) - New Coat of Paint for Legendary FPS

"you don’t have to spend hours clicking on every random bit of wall to find secrets"

Such an important part of the review so thank you for pointing this out. I purchased Doom 64 a week or two back and it's frustrating rather than fun. The shooting is great but the route finding is rubbish. I can't ever see myself picking it back up.

Glad Quake is different in this regard.

Re: PS5 Revision Teardown Prompts Cooling Concerns

themcnoisy

I've got a PS5 and I can't believe how bad it is. The made up nonsense about the PS5 that is. The PS5 is boss and works like a dream. It's flipping massive though and Im not a fan of the dual sense due to the weird holding position, but the PS5 is great. Go get one and join us.

Re: Poll: Did You Buy Ghost of Tsushima: Director's Cut?

themcnoisy

I'm all for dlc of a full single player game and if its £30 for a 20 hour campaign with a extra fluff - I would rather have that than microtransactions. For one reason or another (Rocket League and Dreams) I didn't pick up ghost, so really excited to give it a go. So for me the diatribe I'm reading in the comments is hyperbolic. Now y'all can get back to paying £3.99 for 460 diamonds while the proper gamers have some fun on PlayStation 5.

(Or moan about £10 which is literally 5 bottles of coke)

Re: Sony's PS Plus Subscriber Count Just Dropped for the First Time

@MinerWilly if you are overwhelmed now get ready for the 10,000 game steam library

You are just older mate. It's happened to me the last 12 months. I had psnow and it would have been amazing when I was school age. Home at 4pm, homework, tea, game till 9 and go to bed. Then on a lazy weekend. I can only dream of being available at 4pm most of the time and weekends? What are they anymore? With kids, cars, mortgages and other responsibilities it's difficult to find 40 hours to play a AAA game.

Gaming is a damn good and relatively cheap hobby, we have more games than ever and there is nothing stopping you jumping on some retro stuff. But your problem would likely be time especially as you've played manic miner and could be around my age.

Re: RIP PES Trends as eFootball Attracts Ire of Footy Franchise Faithfuls

@Dr-M Pes 2018. It's the best this gen. 19 has issues with ball bouncing and you could see the focus towards a more FIFA focused game, it was still good though. 18 for me was perfect, awesome on the passing and strategies that make sense. The ML is a shadow of its former self but still ok. Running a league or world cup is great and the online myclub mode was fun as it was massively misbalanced and I had Lukaku, Maradonna, Veratti, Lacazette and Alderweireld within the first few hours of playing. Within a week I had added Batistuta, Pique, Maldini and a couple of players I can't remember the name of (Real Madrid sub LB at the time and Atleticos midfielder). It was fun and didn't need to buy any extra credits as your team was OP within a few weeks and you win loads of players in competition.
