Re: 'We'll Continue to Evolve the PS Store': Sony on Making PS5, PS4 Shopping Better

wilky2988

Is it just me or is the "rating" feature either completely missing or hidden somewhere on the mobile app storefront?

Let me give an example, there was a cheap knockoff Schedule I game that launched on PS5 last month with a 1.4/5 rating, which is prominently displayed on the game's webpage and probably enough to dissuade potential buyers from falling for the trap. But where is this on the mobile app? Hell, how do I even rate any of the games that I play on PS5? I'm not aware of how to do this easily on the app nor the PS5 console menu...

“The structure can be frustrating because if you stray from your mission markers, you’ll often be told to return to the objective otherwise you’ll instantly fail.”

Oh god, I just played SW Outlaws and it was terrible about this! You’d get an objective to return to the planet and then the game would instantly fail you when you flew into the planet to land. So frustrating!

Re: Ghost of Yotei PS5 a Similar Length to Ghost of Tsushima, Same Scope

^Eh, I thought GoT had some of the best side quests I’ve ver seen in a game because they weren’t organized as like dozens of one-off quests from random no-name NPCs all over the map. Instead, the side quests were organized around 4ish main NPCs with ~10 quests in each line, so I found the side quests to be a lot deeper and more meaningful because they tended to progress & develop the story of your closest allies. The side quests in GoT felt like extensions of the main story to me. In particular, the warrior monk Norio’s story was my favorite.

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

wilky2988

Ghost of Tsushima is a classic. It's a really great all-around package, when you consider the base game playthru, the DLC, and then the online mode (which is actually pretty good) — you can easily get 100 hours out of it. It has a really great story for an open world sorta game; it'll touch you at times.

Re: Reaction: Sony's PS5 Games Keep Getting Better After Launch, and Often for Free

wilky2988

You're not wrong that GOW Ragnarok could have charged $10 hell even $20 for that DLC, and I would've still felt like I got my money's worth. I thought the newest Astro Bot levels were the best yet. They gave away TLOU2 upgrade for free, right? And HZD upgrade for $10? Yeah, I voted highest marks in this poll. (Shame about that lack of PS Plus upgrade path for Days Gone, tho...)

Re: RoboCop: Rogue City - Unfinished Business (PS5) - Standalone Mini-Sequel Just Misses the Mark

I'm pretty sure that I can refund my preorder for up to two weeks (since I didn't download it yet) so I'll kinda wait & see how the user reviews/consensus pan out, but I'll probably keep the purchase and play this. The sentiment that I see in this/other reviews is about what I was expecting. I'm currently playing like a 100+ hour game (AC Shadows, which is well made but daunting at times due to the size/scale) so I'm kinda craving playing something short next.

Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Patch 2.3 Showcase Announced for Tomorrow

wilky2988

Their dedication to this game and the world of Night City is commendable, this many years after release. I'll be happy with whatever they showcase tomorrow, it's all icing on the cake at this point, but my theoretical wishlist would be for an FOV slider (I can dream, right?)

Re: Poll: 15 Years of PS Plus - What Do You Think of Sony's Subscription Service?

wilky2988

Hmm, well I do feel like I get my value/money's worth out of my sub, for two reasons: 1.) I tend to play at least 6-8 or 10 of the free monthly games per year, so I'm probably making my money right here. In fact, I'm playing one right now. However, and most important, 2.) The amount of time I save by using the PS Cloud for stuff (i.e., probably Platinum/trophy related) is worth more to me than the $$ anyway.

Re: Poll: Are You Playing Death Stranding 2?

wilky2988

Nope. I’ve watched some of both games on Twitch, but I have zero interest in playing these games. I am really fatigued by open world games at this point, and I don’t think I have the patience for everything else going on here.

Re: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Patch 1.3.0 Makes Big Balance and Difficulty Adjustments

wilky2988

I agree with the comments that yearn for a minimap. I think the exploration does suffer from this sense of wandering around aimlessly hoping you’re going in the right direction but never really being sure. It usually ends up working out (because I usually find loot/worth), but at times it feels like this game moves forward at a sluggish pace because I’m running in circles.

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Elden Ring Nightreign?

wilky2988

Tricky to rate a multiplayer focused game because everyone’s experience is gonna be different, but generally I would describe Nightreign as a game w really high high’s and really low low’s… perhaps averaging out to like a 6/10…. But potential to rise to 7-8/10 if this game receives good support/updates. There is definitely potential, to make this game greater…

Re: Poll: Do You Care About the Death of PlayStation Stars?

wilky2988

I think those wishing for a “better rewards program” are high on copium. I think the point of Sony killing this rewards program is they’re trying to find ways to avoid raising prices given the current economic conditions, so the rewards program is the first thing to go.
