    Deck Nine did a good job on Before the Storm. While characters and story from LiS help a lot but still good work. While Dontnod recent work such as Tell Me Why and Twin Mirror weren't received well. 

     

    Have to wait and see what Deck Nine does with this. 

     

    Yea, Twin Mirror reviewed horribly. Vampyr and Tell Me Why scored pretty high most places, though. Both good games, too.

    All I was thinking while watching the new Justice League was I need an Oled tv to hide the bright black bars on the side. This forum will be leave me broke. -_-

     

    It does legit make a difference, though. You'll never look at your old LED TV the same way again :/

    I love Lance McDonald's P.T. and Bloodborne videos. Really well done. I'd recommend people here check those out. Don't really get into the console war nonsense.

     

    Yeah dude is legit modder who knows his Souls stuff. Him laughing at Grubb's Elden Ring leak was his way of saying "maybe just stick to MS rumors, please?"

     

    Yea, he must have some proper contacts at From after all those amazing videos.

     

    Like Saanp said, these tweets just feed their social media profile. Can't make influencer money if you aren't a visible influencer :/

    There is none. There was one RDNA3 idiot who disappeared. Insiders bhakti is mostly done by the bot army.

     

    Like how Grubb said there'll be Elden Ring showcase done by From this month because he saw the leaked trailer on 4chan, then backtracked and said they cancelled it because of leak. The actual From insider Lance McDonald called him on his bullshit. That's the kind of insider people worship :lol: 

     

    I love Lance McDonald's P.T. and Bloodborne videos. Really well done. I'd recommend people here check those out. Don't really get into the console war nonsense.

     

    Jez Corden's Windows Central videos are excellent too. He posts a lot of insider feature previews if you're a Windows person (like I am).

    Yea.. Probably went too far and gave it up as part of their publishing deal with SE. Shame.

    Nah its not happening unless they want two parallel timelines running at same time. Practically everyone in that scene has moved on and been replaced by new faces and stories.

     

    Agreed, but never underestimate the power of the internet. This movie, which I thought was really good aside from some cheesy music, might just rile everyone up again :D

    Uhh.. Super wrong comparison. Compare superhero movies with superhero movies. This is an Apples to Orange comparison. :mellow:

     

    I'd normally say a movie is a movie, and we need to be holding these IPs to higher standards. I bet Nolan was trying to hit Heat levels of quality as opposed to trying to match other superhero movies at the time.

     

    Buuut I kinda also see your point in this specific case. This isn't exactly high art, so maybe the Marvel movies are a better comparison :\

    Personally, I felt Game pass was an expensive service for the games they offered (in the 9 months I was subscribed to it). I never touched 90% of the games, but that's just me.  For now, you can do the Live Gold conversion promo and get it for a cheap monthly price, but eventually when the prices roll back to normal, it'll be 700, which is too much.

     

    I think this a bigger issue with these subscription services, which is why (for example) Netflix is investing in better/more diverse recommendation algos. I got an email from yesterday on mood-based recommendations :D

     

    And they have incentive to do this. If you spend INR 800 on Netflix and don't watch much, you're not making the studios they have tie-ups with any money.

     

    In general, people only either pay attention to what's above-the-fold on page 1, or whatever the algos recommend. This isn't a service problem, but a problem with our shorter attention spans, and reluctance to research and experiment.

    Problem is not the PSplus subscription or Games Pass’s actual Subscription price 

     

    It’s what M$ has initiated with the back door entry of $1 conversion of Gold into GamesPass 

     

    This has sort of opened up a Pandora’s box like McDonald’s did with it’s Rs 20 burger lineup here in India 

     

     

    Yes I get it,they some!! how wanted to move their next gen system coz it just didn’t have any value to it otherwise 

    But by doing this they have stirred up an unreasonable expectation amongst gamers who will at the slightest sign (Like Gold becoming double the price) will start crying about having to pay more 

     

    This will eventually even lead to Sony & Nintendo having to offer something similarly unreasonable (Sony has somewhat already started contemplating with PSplus collection & Play From home) 

     

     

    Which I fear will eventually lead to a disaster instead of a Gaming nirvana that gamers are visualising 

     

     

    Hitman 3 hardly sold any copies on Xbox 

    now imagine if it got no sales on PS too 

    Why would anyone make games of that stature at all!! 

    Everything will turn to sh*t like Dirt,Outriders or Sea of Thieves 

     

    Even Halo will try & turn into something like Warframe (read Destiny) like HPsam also pointed out in one of his podcasts & posts 

     

     

    It’s a short term burst of craziness happening for sure but long term effects could be weird 

     

    Don't take these things so personally, dude.

     

    - The $1 conversion is just standard new service user acquisition. I paid half-price for a 1-year Spotify subscription last year, for instance. All services do this to get people to try/hook.

    - OTT Streaming hasn't killed movies or TV. In fact, I'd argue there are more shows now than ever before and more chances being taken as far as content goes.

    - Lastly, I realize no one here looks at/cares about numbers, but ARPU in gaming in quite low. Regular people just don't buy as many games as users on a gaming forum. Most people buy one or two games a year, for an average $50-$100 per user spend. Shockingly, this is how subscription services are positioned - You pay that same amount (or slightly higher) for a wider range of content. I realize you're worried about Sony being able to fund first-party titles, but gaming is much wider than first party/blockbuster games. Subscription services (like Spotify for bands/musicians) allows people to try new content and gives smaller developers a wider audience.

    - $10x18MM game pass subscribers is ~$2B/year. You can fund a lot of lean game development with that money. Note that I've taken a $10 average and not $15 for GPU.

     

    There is no big us vs. them conspiracy here. It's just shifting markets and business decisions.

    Yup it must be 1080p native with my TV upscaling it to 4K. But it doesn't feel like a 6 year old game at all. 

     

    Staying away from Spoilers and walkthroughs and making the decisions as I feel like. After first playthrough - might read guides in order to platinum. :D 


    Also look up Larry Fessenden once you’re done. Not before :D

    Started this on PS5 and playing late night with headphones on :P 

    Amazing game experience. I believe the framerate etc. is also much better on PS5 and it is helping (referred to YT videos on PS4 which looked comparatively choppy).

     

    Might just be interested in Platinum'in it too. Let's see.

    I don't think they patched it for the PS4 Pro unfortunately, so you're probably stuck playing 1080p or lower?

     

    Really underrated game, though. Enjoy it and stay away from spoilers, whatever you do :D
