Oh, and one last gripe. While I was going through the catalog on PlayStation Plus, I saw the Last of Us PS5 remake. I wasn't really dying to play the game again at this point in time, but the idea of playing Factions was extremely appealing.
Unfortunately, I quickly learned that they did not remake Factions along with the main game. And that still pisses me off. Next to splatoon, I think factions was my favorite online gaming of the past 10 or 15 years. I'd say it's hard to believe Sony fumbled that, but then there was the whole Concord fiasco, and Factions looks like a minor bump in the road compared to that.
So this weekend I subscribed to PlayStation plus give myself a chance to test out some games I was looking at. So far I haven't been overly impressed.
I first checked out Returnal. I can't decide the game is either genius or just fucking terrible. Either way, I'm not real good at it, but at the same time I can't tell whether or not that is by design or not. But after 4 hours, I haven't really progressed the story much. So I've decided to write it off. Really happy I tested it, because I have had that in my shopping cart for a while, and it just doesn't seem like it's for me.
I also tried out Dredge. It's supposed to be a Lovecraftian fishing game. The idea is neat, and it's got a lot of elements that should be drawing me in, but it's just not happening. I think it's a little too light on direction. Part of me feels bad because I really haven't given it a fair shake yet, but at the same time I need more out of a game than the town mayor saying, "nobody knows how you got here, but why didn't you go out and catch some fish? Oh and don't go out at night."
Tried the demo, fishing on a grid seems tedious.

Wouldn’t bother me to be honest. Would find it pretty hilarious though playing an Indiana Jones game as an old Indy.
Not saying developers have to age their characters just that I don’t mind if they do.
I wouldn't mind it if there was a vast selection of grandpa complaints I could blurt out whenever I wanted at the press of a button.

That's why I bought all of their classic costumes immediately after purchase. I don't buy DLC, but it was worth it on SF6.
Depends on the game but I prefer classic characters to mostly be timeless.
How much did that cost? I've been seeing clips of Sagat coming to SF6.
I assume paid for dlc? I had the expectation that all the old faves would just be there day 1.
It would be neat to see a game, say Uncharted, where aging affects the character. Maybe its more difficult to climb or they have less stamina. So the gamer may have to get creative in going from point A to point B.
