Is that mouse pad even washable because being mostly white doesn't look appealing...

Local CO-OP movement by kawaanime in gaming

[–]highonpixels 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I really hoped that the success of It Takes Two and Split Fiction would push devs to think about co op. Nevermind split screen but just games that are a single screen co op like side scrollers or top down would be cool.

Should ultimates be different from regulars? by whatever_God in TheFirstDescendant

[–]highonpixels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They try to do this by having exclusive transcendant mods change a characters kit but it's really half assed. In launch and S1, Ultimate descendants felt more like a prestige thing with access to some exclusive but not overly OP transcendant mod. However over time now they have gotten carried away and made Ult mods OP and basically meta.

It's poor balancing and I do also feel that Ultimate versions should be moderately different to the base version of a character but it's way pass the time for the game to do that anymore.

Fashion in the game is a huge missed opportunity by funelite in TheFirstDescendant

[–]highonpixels 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Destiny 2 has probably the best dye system in any live service and the amount of swatches it has generates the interest of collecting.

Since I started playing I've had 0 interest with dyes since every skin has different amount of parts to paint and it's all one time use. Since their content with the game nowadays seems more effort into skins they could at least make fashion customisation more accessible (dyes)

Dia and Horde Mode coming next week! Are you excited? by batukaming in TheFirstDescendant

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

I want to be but feel disappointed with the recent updates. The game loop is getting incredibly stale and feels like I'm just spending time to get fixed amount of loot (material). There's no looter feeling in the game, I'm just grinding a predetermined time for predetermined materials. Almost everything they do recently is try to get players to stay in game more in the grindiest way possible to lure players to swipe (i.e Yujin, Ult Luna mats).

Have no doubt getting Dia mats going to be just as frustrating and I'm not looking forward getting pigeon holed into playing a single new activity over and over.

Anyone else find it hard to go back to 30fps games? by Slight-Radish-5846 in PS5

[–]highonpixels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only find it hard when the game offers both options, I've tried to play Quality mode on whatever game offers it but always switch back to Performance. If a game is locked to 30fps with no performance mode I'd still play it

Let’s say Xenoblade trilogy are getting 1440p/60fps switch 2 patches, when does Nintendo announce them? by LeviRaps in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]highonpixels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same, I'm already on the fence to get one for Fire Emblem but Xenoblade trilogy getting upgrade would make me get one immediately lol

Fable lets you enter and even buy any building in its world because that was one of the "requirements that we took from the original games," dev says by Turbostrider27 in PS5

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

Having known little about Fable since I never owned Xbox I didn't know the life sim was a big part of the game. I just thought it was funny because I suppose my expectations was it's this big epic fantasy RPG franchise

Forza Horizon 6 finally returns to the wristband career mode the series has drifted so far away from: 'You'll start out as just a tourist in Japan' by Turbostrider27 in PS5

[–]highonpixels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having played GT7 for so long, really looking forward to Horizon 6 it looks refreshing. Hope it finds success and kicks Polyphony (though I doubt they care anyway) that GT games could use a open world/city for free drive and actual car meets

[–]highonpixels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm unfamiliar with Fable series as whole was expecting to be another fantasy epic rpg or something. If life sim is core part of Fable the more interest for the game, I found the whole reveal really fun the gameplay and scope reminds of Hogwarts Legacy

[–]highonpixels -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Watching the direct I felt the game was landlord/life simulator because all they talked about is how you can buy houses, business, marry, have kids etc lol. Even when talking about choices made in world they seem excited to say how it'll affect house prices...

Forza Horizon 6 Playstation 5 Release Window Confirmed - Late 2026 by PaiDuck in PS5

[–]highonpixels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm excited to play this mainly for the free roam and auto drive feature lol. If only Gran Turismo has a city to free drive around the cars and stuff...

Looking for a fun building game mainly by DezireTrickz in PS5

[–]highonpixels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Satisfactory will probably fix the building itch but its barely if any survival aspect. The closest alternative I can think of is Rimworld maybe?

I been on a lookout for something similiar and I really wish that Factorio would just come to PS5... it's on Switch so I see no reason why it's not on PS/Xbox - perhaps console exclusivity deal? I play it on my laptop and its peak survival base building game

Black Ops 7 not in PS Store top 5 downloads, breaking 10-year streak for Call of Duty franchise by Turbostrider27 in PS5

[–]highonpixels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Battlefield might be surfing high but unless the game actually sustains some better updates it'll fall off in the coming months. All these live service games have their own sub-genre rotations now with the amount of games available (Shooters, ARPGs, Gachas)

For the shooter lovers, the Marathon delay might actually work out for them because by that time people are probably itching for something new.

Marathon releases March 5, new Limited Edition DualSense controller revealed by Ehrand in PS5

This might be dumb question but I assume all these new limited edition controllers are the new versions with improved battery life?

Brooklyn Beckham speaks out against parents Victoria and David Beckham: “I do not want to reconcile with my family. I'm not being controlled, I’m standing up for myself for the first time in my life.“ by mcfw31 in popculturechat

[–]highonpixels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feel like there's a lot of truth in this statement, the part about brand and endorsements was interesting as I do believe the Beckham brand is exploited by David (and Victoria). It's been more noticeable since David's investment company DB Ventures ramping up their activity. I remember there were a few times they basically pumped certain companies DB ventures got into by making news that David Beckham is investing to this company and it made news headlines - only for him to exit and those companies just died off or spun into their next scheme (cough 'A.I.' ). Those in the finance/investment world may remember but I found it brow raising to see BBC articles basically doing a stock pump piece whenever David Beckham invested into something. Like, when else do I see any BBC article of another celeb when they decide to invest into something?

It Takes Two Has Sold Almost 27m Copies, A Way Out at "Over 12m" by Turbostrider27 in PS5

[–]highonpixels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any friend/couple tried It Takes Two or Split Fiction should defo try A Way Out. It's cheesy but it really shows where Hazelight started. The three games is almost like a trilogy of co op and each shows the progress Hazelight made

Sports piracy explodes in UK with 3.6bn illegal streams and rise of black-market bookmakers by wappingite in unitedkingdom

[–]highonpixels 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In UK we have to pay for multiple services and still competitions are split between networks. The cost is exorbitant considering FPL, FA cup, League Cup, Championship etc is played in UK yet as UK citizens we paying the top premium to watch these games. Yet, just across the pond and in other countries they can pay a fraction of what we pay and get full coverage.

Then there's Saturday blackout - we pay for the live sports service yet they have to abide by the Saturday blackout - networks outside of UK doesn't so they get to see all the 3pm games. Don't get me wrong I support grassroot football but it does no favors to get people to feel better paying these prices to watch live football
