Re: SoulCalibur VI Network Test Is Live on PS4

@Kidfried thanks. Sucks. My friend I play with online is really into Soul Calibur. I’ll still give it a try. Sorry for another question, so they at least have a training mode to try before jumping into online?

Re: Fallout 76's B.E.T.A. Begins on 30th October for PS4

@lacerz haha literally. Although surprisingly I didn't have many problems with Fallout 4, I had so many with their other games. The worst being the save system in OG Skyrim for PS3 where if you play a certain amount of time, the game became literally unplayable with 5 minute load screens and frame rate drops into possibly single digits.

@Cutmastavictory my analogies aren't awful, you're just impatient and want something given to you right away. and you're right, we can agree on something - the PR guy shouldn't have thrown Sony under the bus. Actually, the PR guy didn't because it was a Dev who did, and he was wrong to do so. We have no idea what discussions these publishers and Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo have behind closed doors, and assuming we know exactly what they're saying is diminishing the conversation. Honestly, you sound exactly like the people who threw Sony under the bus for not having an answer to cross play immediately after being announced. Did you hate that move too? I didn't, because Sony didn't have adequate time to prepare for that discussion, and instead said the first thing that came to them - we don't have any plans for cross play at this time. Sounds familiar, doesn't it?

back to @topic - I really would have benefited from trying the BETA before committing to this, as I'm not 100% sure Bethesda can pull this off as well as they want. This'll probably be a wait and see game for me.

@Cutmastavictory you’re actually the one using the wrong words. He didn’t say “I don’t think it will ever come”. He said, “I don’t know if it will ever come.” BIG DIFFERENCE. How are you supposed to know if a feature will come when you didn’t know it was possible until a few hours ago? And I don’t know, maybe they decided if the #1 best selling console didn’t want it, maybe they axed the idea from development. As the PR guy, you don’t make promises that you don’t know the answer to - especially in this day and age. It’s like if Sony had instead announced the PS5 was coming fall of 2019 and someone asked - are you porting Fallout 76 to PS5. It’s like, I don’t know. I literally just got this info and haven’t had time to discuss it with my teams yet.

@Cutmastavictory that’s a little unfair. That’s like Marvel saying they can’t use the x-men in the avengers movies because Fox hasn’t given them the movie rights and then 2 weeks before release, Fox says, you can use them. And then everyone saying, well, are you putting the x-men in the avengers, Marvel?!? It’s not a light switch they can flip. (And I’m a pretty die-hard PlayStation fan)

Re: Talking Point: Should Sony Adopt Pre-Recorded Press Conferences?

ztpayne7

I think E3 could have been saved if you just took out that really weird interlude after last of us. Surely someone from marketing could have looked at that and been like, nope. It’s not gonna work.

Keep it live but cut the live music out just a little and be more succinct. The orchestra before the God of War reveal was amazing.

Re: Kingdom Hearts III Grabs Big Hero 6 World

ztpayne7

Yeah, this was the second world announced - they just haven’t ever shown it.

Also to note - if they stick with their original plan, this takes place after the Big Hero 6 movie and is its own original story.

Re: Final Fantasy XV: Pocket Edition HD Is Out Now on PS4

@Kienda yeah, hard to believe they haven’t done at least a straight port of FF7 (pc version?) considering Cloud is in Smash.

I love PS4 exclusives, but I also love Nintendo exclusives, which is why I’m hoping to get a switch in the next several months. Black Friday might be the right time.

Re: Sony Celebrates Launch of Spider-Man PS4 by Binning Bus in Italian Lake

ztpayne7

@AFCC it’s basically like a little flying turret that shoots web at enemies for a little bit. You start out with 2 uses that recharge over time. You do have to research it but it’s unlocked very early. Not sure if you unlock naturally without the dlc.

Also, you can enter the code - just don’t download the section called “pre order bonus” if you don’t want those things in effect.

Re: Sony Celebrates Launch of Spider-Man PS4 by Binning Bus in Italian Lake

ztpayne7

@AFCC didn’t realize the spider drone was part of the dlc. If you don’t want to use it right away, just don’t unlock it under gadgets. Not sure if it’s in the regular game. You don’t have to use those suits yet though. No idea how you would choose not to use the skill points. Maybe don’t download the preorder bonus?

Re: Poll: What Do You Think of Destiny 2: Forsaken?

ztpayne7

Honestly, is there a real reason you need the prior expansions to play this? Because it doesn’t seem like you need curse of Osiris to play warmind. I’ll probsbly never play it because of that, and it’s sad cause I was interested in trying Forsaken.

Re: Final Fantasy XV: Pocket Edition HD Is Out Now on PS4

ztpayne7

@Kienda I reread my comment and I saw where that would come across. I blame it on how late it was. I had no intention in mocking Nintendo and I think they did the right thing and it just sucks for them. My main plan was to mock this game because even though I’m a fan of Final Fantasy XV, this looks terrible. Even if this was just on the switch, I wouldn’t play it for free.

Re: Destiny 2 Available Right Now on PS Plus

ztpayne7

@ShogunRok oh, do you definitely need the first two expansions before the third? I’m newish to destiny so I didn’t know how that worked.

“Also, our other 2 expansions are half off this week in the U.S.”

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 234

ztpayne7

@RedMan33 honestly try finding someone for co-op. They weren’t as bad as I was expecting and I was only pretty good and not great at the game.

As for me, Overwatch, Dead by Daylight, and for some reason, I’ve gotten hooked on Enter the Gungeon. I also need to beat AC Origins before Spider-Man comes out.

Re: Final Fantasy XV Is the Fastest Selling Entry in the Franchise Thus Far

ztpayne7

@Ralizah sorry just saw this. I’m with you on MGS, though. MGS 3 is the only main game in the series 😂 lets just say I can see why you’d like XII and also why you wouldn’t like X depending on preferences. I mean, some people think VIII is their favorite and I think they’re crazy! I also recently played IX for the first time last year and while it was so good to play a classic FF title, I had a lot of issues with it.
