Re: Black Panther Game from New EA Team Cliffhanger Games Revealed

@nessisonett as you deleted your post but the email persists. No i'm in no way suggesting mangaka's are treated better than western writers. Not in terms of human rights anyway. They do have more creative freedom and entry into the industry for new comers isn't as impossible as the west. I don't believe well loved series like dragon ball or one piece would have survived as comics if the authors were western.

@AverageGamer I know what you mean but that was caused by marvel and dc themselves. Their quest for a monopoly has ended up being their downfall and now they wh*** out decades of character development for short term gains. Look at the comic industry in Asia still flourishing because they don't stifle creative talent instead they support and nurture as best they can. If marvel or dc created a shonen jump type environment where unknown writers and artists could create new stories based on their respective universes they would still be thriving.

Re: Honkai: Star Rail's Story Expands Significantly Prior to PS5 Launch

@themightyant Haha I hear you on that point. It took me like 60hrs into Genshin to realise I had barely made any actual progress before I dropped it for the time trap it is. This has been more friendly (he says 181hrs in) but I fear you might be in trouble as ZZZ comes out soon. That's 3 games specifically designed to consume time. Won't be surprised if it's some kind of MiHoYo curse magic at work.

Re: Rumour: Bungie Wants Marathon on PS5 to Be the Ultimate Live Service Game

Bungie should drop this and focus more on destiny. There's been no new content for pvp in years (so i'm told by veteran clan members) I started playing some point last year and bought the year pass for light fall and have caught up to everything. The weekly drip of season pass content took a sharp decline when season of the deep came out. Clearly their efforts and resources are being spent elsewhere. And for those who don't know destiny is not free 2 play. It's free to try. Free means access to everything which this is not.

Re: Genshin Impact, Honkai: Star Rail Dev's Profits Eclipse Even PlayStation

I play Honkai and there is a system where you can use other players characters for certain item farm missions. One of the top characters was on the premium pull and you only had a couple of weeks to unlock her. To get her you needed to do 90 pulls to get a higher chance of 5* character. You could not get that amount with the free tickets, you had to spend cash as it was something dumb like 0.6% chance of pulling a 5* and 50% chance that 5* was the featured character. The character is so OP that you can pretty much use her to solo most fights. And only the whales or those the rng gods sided with unlocked the character. Still a fun game though but very short as only 1.5 levels are out at the moment.

Re: Poll: Was This Sony's Best PlayStation Showcase Yet?

Don't they do a few of these shows each year? So they probably have more decent stuff to show later. Only games of interest on display to me were Spidey 2 and Phantom blade (which will probably never see the light of day). I'm on an ff16 trailer ban so it can all be fresh for when I play in the coming months.

Re: Mortal Kombat 1 Announced for PS5, Out 19th September

Cool cg trailer, any leaked gameplay footage floating around online or news on when we can expect to see some? Probably in the next couple of months before the beta I guess. The new assist sounds like the old Marvel vs Capcom assist. This is probably how they keep the roster from the old timeline or get fans to vote for which assist character they would like to be fully playable. If that's the case I'd welcome it.

Re: Mortal Kombat 12 Teaser Trailer Hints at Series Reboot for PS5

z0d15g0d

Imagine if we only get 7 characters just like the original. I wouldn't mind if each character had a lot of moves and variations like an actual martial artist would aka tekken/soul calibur characters combined. Individual fleshed out full length character story campaigns would also be welcome.

Re: Insomniac 'Working Hard' to Make Spider-Man 2 Its Best Game Ever

z0d15g0d

Disney and WB have pretty much ended my love for superheroes so I'm not interested in this anymore as it will probably be more of the same vanilla story nonsense they've been force feeding us for the last decade. Read some people complain about the fighting being too "Arkham like" but that's more how spiderman fights than batman as I could never reconcile him unrealistically sliding halfway across the screen to backhand counter an enemy. That kept ruining the game for me as felt like a bug. In any case I'd much rather see/play 2099 spiderman or a zombieverse setting but they'd never do that as videogames are a business and entertainment is a secondary byproduct.

Re: Best Final Fantasy Games

z0d15g0d

FF8 is still no1 for me. It came out in my angsty teenage years when I also had exams to do just like the brilliant SEED tests. One of the few titles in the series (if not only) that tested and rewarded your knowledge on the enemies, lore and mechanics. Can't believe XV scored so low that was an awesome game, also paved the way for the new gameplay mechanics that will be the norm for ff games moving forward. If at all possible please redo this after we have had a chance to play 16 I would very much like to partake in the voting next time around.

Re: Street Fighter 6's First Wave of DLC Includes Rashid, AKI, Ed, Akuma

z0d15g0d

@Korgon Yea I watched the world tour videos and it does boast more content than other similar modes previously attempted in the genre but I would not purchase it if it was marketed and sold as a standalone rpg hence my comments of it having rpg "elements". Even though it looks like fun i'd much rather the world tour was with the main characters (similar to shaolin monks) but that's a tall order. I'd defo wait 10 yrs for that though. I'm glad there are fans excited for sf6 as it shows they are still releasing desirable content but as someone who has been a life long fighting/action game fan unfortunately my expectations have exceeded what they now produce. I will be taking a wait and see approach with this.

@huyi Yea I remember E honda being dlc and was not pleased with that either. I don't think capcom know of any lessons to learn. They go by what consumers do and if we keep buying each version of the same game and the dlc they will see it as a win and keep taking liberties cause all they have to do is an apology and a payed update and the masses praise them for their efforts again and again.

@Korgon Konquest mode was probably the best that could be done on older hardware within their budget and time constraints. It's a pretty safe bet that if they include such a mode in the next Mk it would be far superior. Even the crypt mode in Mk11 was pretty darn good except for being devoid of life (random ghost attacks don't count). Not sure how many rpg's you have played but this is far from a complete rpg. From what I've seen it has rpg "elements" and the majority of what was shown was cosmetic options which will probably receive backlash on their pricing. With regards to the dlc, yes it is just speculation on my part but all it takes is one bad actor to crack the game on pc (I do not condone this behavior) for that to be confirmed one way or another so only time will tell.
