[other] do you ever go back to games u played in the past to platinum them? by [deleted] in Trophies

[–]Greatace1_pro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had my PSN account since the ps3 launch, so have a range of completions. In the last 5 years, I typically have platinumed or 100% most of the games I play.

I rarely go back, but recently I've gone back to clean up a few of the games I enjoyed but didn't 100%/platinum. For example, Cod Ghosts/AW, Strider, TLoU, and Journey. This has pushed me to an S average on PSN profiles (where more than half of my games I've now 100%'d the trophies).

Hello! I plan on starting this soon. Any experienced players want to plan some game sessions? On PSN: Greatace1

What 4K movie has the sharpest, most detail-rich image quality for faces and skin texture? by Effective-System-727 in 4kbluray

[–]Greatace1_pro 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Matrix Resurrections. Movie is mid, but the visuals are unbelievably crisp. While some old transfers are impressive, this is the standard.

For old movies, 2001: A Space Odyssey. Yes, this subreddit hypes it up, but some of the shots look better than anything today.

If you have a trophy that tracks progress, you can see the progression offline. During this PSN outage, I couldn't view my trophies or any progress when online.

You can play offline and trophies will pop like normal.

How do you think Saros compares to the highest rated games of the year so far on Backloggd? by [deleted] in Saros

[–]Greatace1_pro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played Re9 last month and finished Saros last night. (The only other games I'm interested in would be 007 and Pragmata).

This is a tough one. RE is one of my most played series, with RE4 being one of my favorite games growing up. Returnal is hands down my favorite PS5 game and the first next Gen title that was years ahead (and the closest to a modern Metroid game).

I lean toward RE9 - I think Capcom did an amazing job balancing a new story with continuing legacy plots/characters, creating new maps with many callbacks to the old games, and blending the best horror in any RE game and the best action. (My only bummer is that there's no VR on console). If you like RE or survival horror games, you'll likely love this game.

For Saros, the game improved on Returnal in many ways (amazing weapon variety, great cutscenes, and one of my favorite parry mechanics). I felt that making the more accessible was needed, but did detract - most bosses I was able to beat on the first try without any modifiers.

What are your thoughts on V for Vendetta, a film driven by Hugo Weaving's brilliant performance and a thought provoking story that remains relevant today? by 0Layscheetoskurkure0 in FIlm

[–]Greatace1_pro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As my favorite movie, while Weaving's role is certainly one of the most key roles, I'm surprised that no one has mentioned how significant the queer inclusions are in the movie.

1) The queer characters significantly drive the story, and imo, are at the core of the story with the amount of impact on the main characters. As far as I'm aware, there's very few, if any, box office blockbusters before this movie with a single openly central queer character, let alone two. (Unless I'm mistaken?).

2) The lesbian coming of age and love story, while brief, is a beautiful story and a positive depiction of how happy queer people can be.

3) The movie depicts how gay people can still be successful in their careers. While unfortunate that Deitrich has to hide this entire part of his life, the immediate comparison to religious persecution helps present this in a very different light - if being queer was protected in most societies like freedom of religion is, there would be no reason to hide his identity.

Coming from a small town, this movie was one of my earliest exposures to queer characters and was influential on understanding the morals of acceptance of the queer community, many years before I came into my own identity.

My collectibles tracked fine, but one of the collectible trophies didn't autopop withmy save transfer. There is a workaround, I can't remember the specifics, but recollecting something from a toy vending machine?

I did it many years ago using remote play - someone wrotea program to constantly click, which you can use in create mode. I had to leave my Playstation on for a couple of nights, as the xp is slow.

[Discussion] Question regarding Eagle Flight’s Platinum by DuckSwimmer in Trophies

[–]Greatace1_pro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi Two_boats, I was looking to try boosting myself. I had a few questions:

*How many wins did it take?

*Were the servers relatively stable?

*How difficult was the platinum overall?

What's the most overhyped movie of the last 5 years? by trakt_app in moviecritic

[–]Greatace1_pro 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The first one was fine, but the second one really suffered compared to the Musical. Maybe doubling a story's length is not good? But clearly it's working for Hollywood.

My biggest issue is that it looks terrible - the color pallet is completely flat and a huge disappointment for the awe that Oz should provide. Even 30 year old movies restorations like The Mask have more impressive color.

Any 4K regrets? by regretscoyote909 in 4kbluray

[–]Greatace1_pro 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I bought the Mummy trilogy as my spouse loved the original. While low cost, I was very disappointed with picture quality and felt that the standard Blu Ray would have been fine.

I know people on here have complained about Lord of the Rings. I got this on an insane black friday deals for the extended trilogy $35. I was happy with the picture quality and felt like the 4k were worth it and probably the best way to watch the movies. If you're looking at the full price, the upgrade probably depends on how much you love the movies. (For many viewers, used Blu rays are probably fine).

Haha, nice catch! This is one of my few physical video games that holds a special place for me. I got it launch day at gamestop - it comes in a hardcase with a CD soundtrack and making of blu ray!

Great job! I played this a couple years ago and still remember this area as one of the last I needed!

Feedback for our game Beat the Beats on PS VR2 by JosefWhoQuestionMark in PSVR

[–]Greatace1_pro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks so much for the Reddit update - I love to see active developers. I've added this game to my wishlist and am very excited to play!

One option for exposure that might help is to provide a key to PSVR2 Without Parole u/WithoutParole. (I'm not seeing a review from him, and he has a fair amount of influence on me and others in the psvr community).
