I sure hope not. This show has been an absolute treasure!
- Comment on Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet is the first new Naughty Dog IP in ages – WGB 1 week ago:
The bounty dispatcher or whatever is a woman version of budget Snake Plissken and a smoker, but the voice actor sounded like she was lifted from a 1940s movie and had never smoked a day in her life (rare, I know, but still). I expected at least a hint of gruffness from her character and got absolutely zero of that.
I felt the same way when I heard her voice. Not near rough enough for how that character looked.
- Comment on Hideo Kojima seems to be testing Death Stranding 2, but it's not going well: "I fell asleep twice while on a delivery and ran the vehicle into a cliff" 1 week ago:
At the same time, this could be your typical Kojima fuckery where he makes it seem like he’s talking about himself, but he’s actually talking about an exhaustion mechanic from Death Stranding.

Meh I’m still skeptical. These reviews seem awfully generous compared to the gameplay footage I saw.

Wasn’t Microsoft just talking about how important game preservation was to them?
- Comment on Mortal Kombat 1's Next DLC Wave Reportedly Cancelled 3 weeks ago:
Four characters, and 3 hours of extra story. But I heard the extra story sucked and wasn’t in any way worth the time or money put into it.
I’ve been holding off on picking it up until it goes on a deep deep discount because there’s no way I’m paying nearly the full price of the game for a fraction of the content.
They 100% did this to themselves. Tons of fans loved the precious story DLC’s on the older games. Those were cheaper and way longer. They didn’t justify the extra cost for this DLC in any way.
- Comment on Mortal Kombat 1's Next DLC Wave Reportedly Cancelled 3 weeks ago:
Well damn. Maybe they shouldn’t have made the last mediocre DLC $50. Totally killed my interest in the game.
That, and I hate the modern monetization methods of mortal Kombat. I miss the Krypt.
- Comment on 'My personal failure was being stumped': Gabe Newell says finishing Half-Life 2: Episode 3 just to conclude the story would've been 'copping out of [Valve's] obligation to gamers' 5 weeks ago:
Shame Ubisoft doesn’t feel this obligation to gamers. If they did, we’d probably only have 4 assassin’s Creed games

Just to be clear. The radical view in this context is “metal gear solid is going political”
In this case, it very much was a joke.

If they fix some of the wonky character animations during cut scenes, it might be worth it for that alone.
- Comment on how is final fantasy XVI 2 months ago:
Okay, so I played through final fantasy 16 on PS5, and well… Let’s just say I’m not in any hurry to play through it again.
Once you’ve figured out how the combat works, there’s really no additional depth to it. The summon fights look spectacular but aren’t all that engaging. Lots of spectical, The game is absolutely gorgeous, but it’s so so shallow in gameplay. The side quests are extremely boring. The main story is ok too. They really tried to be a lot more serious like game of thrones, but still kept it like right below that mature line, so it felt like a half measure to me.
There is absolutely no depth to the weapons or equipment outside of ‘number go up’. There aren’t any elemental weaknesses in you or the enemies, so The only challenge comes from the actual fighting technique, perfect blocks perfect parries, and chaining together different summon powers. If you like the combat, you’ll enjoy doing the monster hunts, but there aren’t many hunts compared to other ff games.
Overall, the story is decent, if a little lacking in focus. I’d probably say it’s worth picking up on sale, but it is not really worth the current price tag at all. It really is a shell of a final fantasy game compared to the past games. It’s a great looking action game, but it’s shallow.

Oh to be someone outside, looking in at this series… It must look absolutely insane lol. As someone who’s been playing these games for years now, this feels right at home for this series to me.

FYI, you can use the same account, you don’t need two.
But the Point still stands, there’s no good reason for a PSN requirement for this game.

Yes, absolutely. If you made a PlayStation account back then, the same account will work. You don’t need 2.
