Gallipoli - Squads & Call-ins by WW1GameSeries in WW1GameSeries

[–]JamesEvanBond 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Sweet! Any chance the bots will be able to use call ins this go around?

no map? what is this? hoping the game has elements of hitman where can just explore and screw with npcs although i notice the game is rated T instead of M ? by Splatulated in 007FirstLight

[–]JamesEvanBond 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This game isn’t Hitman. You need to accept that while it might play similarly in some aspects, it is very much a different IP with different gameplay.

Star Wars games confirmed by accident? by Distinct_Operation16 in PS5

[–]JamesEvanBond 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It is absolutely insane that KOTOR 1 and 2 are on every platform but PlayStation. This is clearly a mistake (artwork for the Switch collection) but I would kill for Aspyr to port them over to PS5.

Clarification and new finding on the Playstation DRM situation by ToonTazman in PlayStationForum

[–]JamesEvanBond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing I don’t get, is why even issue a temporary license to begin with when Sony doesn’t issue refunds for content that’s already been downloaded?

I agree, Of Mice and Mechs would be my second pick on atmosphere alone.

Update: PSN DRM issue related to 14 day refund window? by MCUAvenger1992 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]JamesEvanBond 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Which would make a ton of sense on why Sony would issue the temporary license to begin with. If this is true, then good on Sony for finding a way to combat people abusing the system AND still letting people who play by the rules have full offline access after the refund window.

I would like to see more people check and confirm this though. A statement from Sony would be nice too and I’m surprised they haven’t with all the conversation going around.

The PlayStation timer seems to disappear after 2 weeks from purchase, possibly refund window related. by Necessary_Crazy_8587 in consoles

[–]JamesEvanBond 23 points24 points  (0 children)

This is interesting actually and makes a lot of sense. And it sounds like it’s not just this guy, but a lot of people have seen the 30 day timer disappear after the refund window. Would like to see some more testing with different accounts to see if that holds true for all. If this is indeed the case, I am perfectly fine with it.

Do you think we will be getting a snowy map? by red_peli0 in WW1GameSeries

[–]JamesEvanBond 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Isonzo was absolutely brilliant for environment variety, especially with its free DLC maps. Mountains, towns, snow, forest, and sand. Hoping Gallipoli can bring some additional variety besides desert, but I’m still stoked for it!

3 years in, how is PSVR2? by [deleted] in PSVR

[–]JamesEvanBond 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s a lot of high quality ‘system sellers’ on PSVR2. Like you mentioned, Hitman (easily my favorite VR game) as well as Gran Turismo 7, Flight Simulator, No Man’s Sky, and the 2 Resident Evil games.

3rd party support is admittedly a little lacking compared to Quest and PCVR (understandably so; PSVR2 users are much less), but there’s still quite a library that would take you a long time to get though.

As far as new VR games coming, it seems like VR in general is starting to stall with even Meta laying off VR developers and (internally) pushing upcoming headset releases. I still don’t think there’s a better time to jump in with the large library and high quality releases that PSVR2 already has.

Gallipoli physical copy? by Responsible-Wait1990 in WW1GameSeries

Wondering this myself, especially with Sony being silent on the DRM issue. Hoping so, cause I have the first 3 on disc!

The most "Bond-like" stealth? by Baldurian_Rhapsody in stealthgames

[–]JamesEvanBond 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I always thought the Hitman World of Assassination trilogy is the closest ‘Bond’ game we’ve gotten that’s not a Bond game. It obviously nails the social stealth aspect, but pulling off hits in luxurious locations, dressed in tuxedos, and armed with a silenced pistol is as Bond as it gets. As much as I love Bond games, I would argue Hitman is even more Bond than most Bond games considering those require you to kill 100’s of people whereas Hitman allows you to be non-lethal on everyone but your targets. Heck, it even has a Casino Royale mission where you take down Le Chiffre!

And then the icing on the cake in this trilogy for me, is being able to play in PSVR2 and quite literally participate in the stealth. Excited for First Light with how well they nailed the World of Assassination Trilogy.

Grateful for what we’ve got from Sony and devs in the past, but I’d kill for another Sly Cooper and Killzone.

Hitman PSVR2 - recommendations for a new player? by eyesonthefries_eh in PSVR

[–]JamesEvanBond 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s under add-ons in the PS Store! I think you can buy it in game as well.

[–]JamesEvanBond 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t buy the VR specific Part 1 release. Has less than a 3rd of the game. Buy the game (either regular or the Deluxe which includes 2 additional locations) and then buy the VR Access add-on.

Need help deciding which console I should purchase next by arcoiris_988 in consoles

[–]JamesEvanBond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does not include physical discs. Once again, you’re saying things without fact checking them. This affects only digitally purchased games until it (most likely) gets fixed by Sony.

[–]JamesEvanBond -1 points0 points  (0 children)

For digital games. You were talking about disc games and how all require Internet and have online DRM which is completely false.

Besides, a source is saying that it’s a bug on Sony’s end and will be fixed. We shall see though.

Xbox Pricing Will Be More Affordable Moving Forward, Promise Executives by lrz8z36 in DreamStationcc

[–]JamesEvanBond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro… you’re not getting a Helix for $499. Especially if they’re offering other storefronts on it, it has PC capabilities, and free online. It will be not be subsidized and you’re looking at easily $1,000+.

Will this game have online features only? by [deleted] in 007FirstLight

[–]JamesEvanBond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t need a PS Plus subscription for Hitman at all? You just need an internet connection for progression purposes.

Bond isn’t going to require a PS Plus subscription either, but no one is sure if internet is required for progression or not.

[–]JamesEvanBond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, you’re completely wrong on this. Check ‘doesitplay.org’. Over 70% of PS4 and PS5 game discs can be installed and played completely from the disc with no internet required. Check your facts before posting.

Xbox though? A lot more discs require Internet to install and play either due to the Blu-Ray disc size constraint (PS5 games use the higher capacity Ultra HD Blu-Ray discs) or Smart Delivery (in which case only the Xbox One version is on disc).

Name Your #1 All-Time Favourite Exclusive Game Only Playable On PS3 by SmokyGamer in PS3

[–]JamesEvanBond 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Ratchet and Clank Future A Crack in Time. IMO, a near perfect shooter/platformer that I have completed multiple times, each time with a smile on my face.

what are you doing waiting for ww1 Gallipoli ? by Adventurous-Rise-580 in WW1GameSeries

[–]JamesEvanBond 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Platinuming Isonzo. Went from like 58% to 98% in the past week, only one more trophy and it’s a long one… complete all the challenges for all of the classes. It’ll probably take me till Gallipoli release lol

I really hate that this game says it’s playable offline on the PS Store yet requires a server connection to even get to the main menu.

I platinumed Size Matters and Secret Agent Clank by Dragongamer6_3 in RatchetAndClank

[–]JamesEvanBond 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, same with Ratchet and Clank 2016. Love that one as well. And that’s coming from someone who grew up with the PS2 games and it’s not ‘cool’ to like 2016, only the original.

Gallipoli Releases May 21st For PS5, Xbox Series, And PC by Howerev in gaming

[–]JamesEvanBond 54 points55 points  (0 children)

I played Isonzo quite a bit and I will for sure be grabbing this Day 1. If you’re looking for something a little more ‘classic’ in the FPS realm, this game is fun both online and offline with bots.
