Re: Round Up: Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound's Glowing Reviews Sing Praises of Slick Action Platformer

wiiware

And I just tried the shinobi rage art of vengeance demo, and it's great. Man I can't believe we're getting great 2D ninja games both nearly at the same time

@PuppetMaster Nice, I forgot some games use regional pricing in psn store, in Indonesia pc steam store pricing is really cheap since nearly most game using regional pricing (with additional 10% launch discount), but annoyingly games in psn Indonesia rarely use it. I wish most psn games use regional pricing.

Edit: Shinobi art of vengeance has regional pricing and 10% launch discount on psn too, nice.

Re: Poll: 5 Years Later, What Do You Think of Ghost of Tsushima?

wiiware

One of the best sony exclusive for the ps4, I was invested in jin story from the beginning. Too bad the sequel throw every interesting things about the first game, no jin, no mongol, same gameplay, same graphics, sucker punch know what gamers want and say, naah, we don't want to, I'm 100% not interested in this sequel 😕

Re: Capcom Nixes Tone Deaf Conference on Monster Hunter Wilds Optimisation

wiiware

Isn't that the game is super not optimized? Even the steam reviews (and people playing it) goes way down after a couple of months and the game is <still> not optimized for pc. At this point I think capcom better focus on monster hunter world instead.

And it's 2025, everybody is getting harassed on twitter, just quit social media if some corporations didn't want to get harassed lol.

Re: Mass Layoffs at Xbox Expected to Be Confirmed on 2nd July

wiiware

I think it's gonna be the hardware people (don't need them anymore since next xbox will be a pc) and the studio that still hasn't made games that announced ages ago. Maybe the perfect dark studio, and that studio with zombie games with chicks that screaming at the wolf (for some reason).

Re: 'Employees at Virtually Every Studio Are Worried': Major Layoffs at Xbox Expected Next Week

wiiware

@SeaDaVie Of course not all AA games will be successful, but it's still a safer bet for the studio with only 33 people if the game fails compared to going all-in on making 300-500M big AAA games with hundreds of staff.

I bought gow ragnarok near launch, I only play it maybe about 2-3 hours before gave up and never played it again, the story is kind of suck, how can you make god of war games where's the first things you do is run away from enemy boss, story wise is way different than the first game.

What I mean is the sequel usually sells good because of goodwill from the previous games, after tlou 2 and gow 2 I'm very critical of sony sequels and always looks at the youtube LP first, that's why I'm glad I don't believe the hype from spidey 2 and now goyotei. Now it's 2025 and AAA games doesn't have goodwill from gamers anymore, developers how to prove why gamers should buy their games, throwing a lot of money on advertisement and getting good reviews from the gaming press aren't enough anymore (just looks at veilguard and ac shadow).

Edit: Okay I just saw the Don'tnot games that's failed, I this those games just suck, nobody want that kind of games anymore, with that type of characters design.

Re: Sony Sued for 'Abusing Its Dominant Position in the Console Market'

wiiware

Maybe if the next ps console is digital only, but now as long as we have choice between digital and disc it's still okay I guess.

It's worrying that the digital games price is way more expensive than disc though, the price of games disc in amazon usually way lower than the price of digital games in psn, full price after years unless it's discounted.

Re: MindsEye Studio Confirms Its Layoff Process Has Started

wiiware

After expedition 33 I have little sympathy for 200+ people development teams, if 33 people can make game of the year contender and 200+ people only can make this kind of bug infested game, well, maybe they shouldn't have working in gaming industry at all.

The talented developers that's been laid off can make new games with his/her other 32 friends.

Re: Blood Message Is Uncharted Meets Ancient China, and It Looks Phenomenal

wiiware

@PuppetMaster Forgot to write AAA games, western indie games absolutely smashing it right now, can't wait for ninja gaiden ragebound, the new shinobi, and that marvel 2D beat em up, it's just that my hype already gone for the AAA stuff they usually make.

Absolutely not hyped for yotei and wolverine because I already now what type of writing and story I'm getting with those two games 😞

Re: Stellar Blade Dev Says 'Nothing Confirmed' Regarding Switch 2 Port Rumours

wiiware

Definitely should make switch 2 version, I saw steam deck can get 60 fps on x/twitter, since switch 2 is more powerful than steam deck, 60 fps with better graphics than steam deck should be possible.

Also I don't understand people yapping about sexualization this or that, eve is based on real people, and there's no sex scene in stellar blade, unlike in baldur gate 3, witcher 3, cyberpunk 2077, and veilguard. I understand now that sexualization mean pretty girls, western people (not western gamers) won't have problem if eve is like tash in veilguard.

I guess that's why korea devs are getting ps5, ps5 pro, and switch 2 while western devs are getting layoffs 😕

@ZeroSum Sony has become (censorious) nintendo of old, and nintendo has become sony of old (don't like to censor), their position are inverted now.

Re: There's a Brutal Lack of Interest in Marathon from Hardcore PS5 Fans

wiiware

Hardcore ps fans want AAA 1st party single player games from sony, sony want easy money from casuals with live service games that's more of a digital shop rather than games.

The reason helldivers 2 success is because they made the game first and the money shop second, while games like marathon designed as digital shop first and then games.

Re: Final Fantasy 16 May Have Underperformed on PS5, But It's Doing Terribly on Xbox

wiiware

@Lowdefal I didn't play ff online games (11 & 14) so I didn't know the story of those games, but I do feels ff 16 story is more western, more game of throne compared to the story of other ff that I played like ff7, 8, 9, and 10 (I only play a couple of hours of ff 12 & 13 and lost interest).

And while the feature "anytime in the game you can pause and read all the characters story and background" seems neat, it means the story is just too convulted, I never need those when playing ff 7-10.

Re: Final Fantasy 16 May Have Underperformed on PS5, But It's Doing Terribly on Xbox

wiiware

Maybe the game is too western for everyone, it's different story wise and vibe from the others final fantasy. Bought it on launch day after playing the excellent demo, but after the demo the game is still good but I think not as good as the demo make it to be. And yeah, the game is more like devil may cry lite rather than jrpg.

Unlike other squareenix games like nier automata, from the demo to the game (real) ending, the game is great from start to finish. I'm glad I bought nier automata at full price (on ps4) and not waiting for a discount. I finished the game and got the platinum after playing about 123 hours, a true value for money lol.
