The Old PlayStation Thread | *NEW THREAD IS UP*

[Bad Religion]

 

So because No Man's Sky isn't what people expected, it's trash?

I don't understand this mentality in people that a game either has to be 10/10 or it's "horrible".

By most accounts NMS is engrossing for at least a good chunk of hours.

If you got burned, it's not their fault. Stop pre-ordering games. It's simple.

The negativity the game is receiving is because some of the features that they said would be in the game were not.

How is it not their fault for lying?

Deliver with what you said you were = Happy customer. It's that simple.

Are you serious? It's hard to find a game releasing this generation that doesn't suffer from this. Destiny, The Division, The Order, Rainbow Six, ect, ect. Why is this one singled out?

Because people don't understand how to manage their own expectations. And when something arrives that they built up in their minds to be greater than it is, they blame anyone but themselves. All of these "features" that were cut weren't there on release. The developers themselves said they are treating it as a platform; they will more than likely see the light of day down the road. 

A small developer, who has never made a AAA game, whose last game was Joe Danger, who has been showing very little of their game through previews, whose creator was already starting to do damage control BEFORE the game dropped, and none of that seemed to raise a red flag?

It's like a six year old promised to do your taxes for you, you believed them, you're now getting audited, and now you're blaming the six year old.

Yes, developers should be held accountable for bad games. Absolutely. This isn't a bad game though. It's not the game that was expected.

I agree with what ESF and Holes is saying even though I believe NMS did mislead people in what it would be offering. Sean Murray said things that simply weren't in the game now if they would come out and say that they will be adding things that Sean Murray did say would be in the game that would be great but I do believe people overhyped that game to extreme proportions. I think Hello Games could've handled this situation way better by being transparent with what plans they may have going forward

 

[Bad Religion]

Oh for sure. The clarity of their overall message is horrible. Again though, a developer that has never had to deal with this before.

And if you get burned, it sucks. I empathize with people. But you have to learn to look for the signs. Even if you don't know what to look for or can't be bothered to, what is the harm in waiting a day or two to see what shakes out?

Not sure where you've been. Destiny, Division, order all get **** on for being overhyped and under delivering. And yes features are often not in the final game, but Bungie had built stuff in the past and sort of get a pass. Sean Murray ain't Bungie. A "new" developer can't be Sean Murray flat out lying about a bunch of features that likely were never gonna be on the game, . He could've just said it was a survival game where you visit planets.

Instead we get this

 

[Bad Religion]

You're going to give a pass to a company that has been doing AAA development for 15-20 years, but demand refunds from a developer that is making it's first? Really?

The games I listed do get called out for not delivering on promises. But no one was screaming for refunds. And would they not serve as a warning for future purchases? Nah, let's keep making the same mistake pre-ordeing or buying day one on every release then get mad that a company wasn't truthful.

Nothing wrong with that but I can see why people would feel betrayed or wasted their money I don't necessarily agree with it because the signs were there the way they presented the game with so much mystery is proof of that as well as how small the dev team was even Sean Murray in an interview told people to lower their expectations lol

 

[stay lurkin]

BF1 is brutal :x

 

[Bad Religion]

I think I agree with @blakep267  and @GotHolesInMySocks  in that we need to hold developers responsible for their product. I think I just feel a different method is more viable in doing that. I feel like I am coming across as contrarian for the sake of argument when that isn't my intention.

Same here. Had to change my sensitivity options and it plays smooth

Bro. I was so happy when I saw you on my squad . I don't know how that happened but .

Are they gonna announce the deluxe edition? I need the joint with the map packs?

 

[3am scholar]

Will there be cross-play on BF1?

 

[wubalubadubdub]

Does the MGS bundle finish the story? I heard there were missing cutscenes.

Heard in general there is very little story and no boss fights. Makes me wamt to rage just thinking about it. Still have not played.

PS Store Sales for this week, via Playstation Lifestyle

Pretty stale, but I am tempted to get Trails of Cold Steel for $20 on PS3...

I think I'm going to cop Trails, I'm just debating on whether I should go Vita or PS3.

These sales the last few weeks have been quite underwhelming. It really shouldn't bother me because I should really be playing thru my backlog but I'm still disappointed

---

Anybody picking up anything new this month? NBA 2K17 and Forza Horizon 3 for me and maybe some stuff on sale.

 

[Bad Religion]

Yea, good point... I might be more tempted to play it on Vita.

I just picked up Bloodborne almost based solely on the great things said about it in this thread. I think I'll start it tonight, then head out to Walmart to grab a new controller after I smash mine. 

It shouldn't be too bad. I got the hang of Demon's Souls pretty early on, so hopefully that translates a bit.

Just remember to attack first and dodge. Good luck

Missed on a beta code?

 

[9th Wonder]

Bloodbourne isn't that difficult, great game though.. I think you'll enjoy it

 

[stay lurkin]

Missed on a beta code?

No I have been on it all day.

 

[9th Wonder]

Ughh that dragon slayer armor boss was a huge pain lol

Kingsglaive was actually decent. It might also be the best looking animation I have ever seen.

Kingsglaive was actually decent. It might also be the best looking animation I have ever seen.

Sweet!

Does it do a good job of setting you up for the game?
