that GTA V thread died last week so im making a new one .
Waiting to be billed from Amazon for my PS4. I have NBA2k sitting at home and im picking up Madden and Battlefield 4 tomorrow.
Friday will be a nostalgic time warp back to the days when i could zone out on games lol
OH AND I PRESENT TO YOU THE FIRST OFFICAL GAMEPLAY OF SOUTH PARK STICK OF TRUTH.
im amped for this, the battle system looks like Paper Mario, and the game itself literally looks like being in an interactive south park movie.
considering theres multiple character choices for designing your kid and two factions to choose from (Kyle or Cartman) i expect this to have some decent replay value too
it got pushed back in DEC of 12 due to the publisher (THQ) going bankrupt. so Ubisoft bought the IP and it was due out DEC 12 this year. pushed back to March again.
im not worried simply because i saw an interview with Matt Stone and Trey Parker basically saying theyve been writing and directing this game for the last four years and will not release it till it is perfect. so im wiling to wait to get a great RPG thats south park themed lol

Amazon has buy 2 get one free on ps4 launch titles, so you might wanna bite at that if you're getting madden and bf4

yeah but Amazon has had alot of people calling to cancel orders befoere the offer and trying to manipulate their system. Ive been reading about it all over GameFaqs
also Amazon is out of NBA2k some people have estimated del dates of DEC 12th -22nd for that game. its originally a Target offer that Amazon decided to match.but Target isnt releasing all the games on their actual street date. theyre going by the PS4 release date. and Amazon has had some people getting late ship dates for game selections. so i beat the wait and crowds by using GameStop.
i traded in my 360 and 360 games when GTA V came out. i also recieved a 50 dollar visa gift card.
so between the gift card and my trade in credit for my 360 and its games?
-25 down on Collectors Edition of the South Park game
-GTA V for PS3
-Madden on PS4
-NBA2k on PS4
-Battlefield 4 on PS4
-Pre-ordered Destiny on PS4 and got an access code for the beta starting in early 2014
-and some other cheap games/ pre orders i dont remember

if anyone is getting a ps4 lemme know so we can link up online.
oh and get Battlefield 4 so i have someone to head into those 64 player battles with

people can hate on Madden all they want, i held off on it this year only for PS4. from what ive seen this looks like a step in the right direction and not like the abortion that the first next gen Madden was when 360 and PS3 came out

oh youtube also has compression restrictions on videos resolution so every game video youve ever seen on youtube looks better in person

I'll post in here about this. I just started playing Batman: Arkham Origins. It's much the same as Arkham City, but feels more polished. I'm still early in the main storyline because I've been off doing side missions, which unlike in Arkham City actually feel like you're not just wasting your time on filler.
The only thing that annoys me is that I paid for the Season Pass which includes a bunch of additional skins but you can't use any of them until you do a full runthrough of the game first. I hate that. I don't like when games require me to play another time just to experience everything. I also hate when a game won't give you a full experience playing on easy (which this game requires too). I paid for it, let me play it the way I want.

battlefield 4 on ps4.

ive seen a ton of actual in game multiplayer footage. it looks about as good as a mid level PC gaming rig. which is impressive considering the ps4 price point

I'm getting a ps4, but letting my rents give it to me for Christmas. Not exactly thrilled with the exclusive launch titles and I'm getting an xbox 1 so figured might as well wait on the ps4 anyway

waiting is definitely understandable.
my disposable income is limited so i decided to make sure i just bought a ps4 when i had the money.
mostly because between march and jun the quality next gen titles start dropping and id rather have my ps4 waiting for me instead of scrambling to pay for a system and a new game come 1st qtr next yr

I wanted to wait for Newegg to carry both systems so I could avoid tax (about 100 bucks between both ) but their inventories are usually limited for that kinda thing, and with the holiday season could really take a while. And im just not that Patient

one of the few good things about living in FL is no tax on amazon.
i think thats about to change though since Amazon is building two distribution centers in my county

Just so all you vidya gamers know, we've got an Amazon banner coming to the site soon. So if there's something you have your eye on and you're willing to wait a couple days to order it...

I get Sunday Ticket for free (the basic version) from DirecTV, so I bought Madden for PS3 to get the Superfan upgrade. I assumed at the time that PS4 games would be part of the upgrade offer. They're not. So I won't be getting the PS4 version.

N case you haven't heard Target is doing a buy 2 get 1 video game free deal, this includes PS4 launch games this week through 11/15.
For PS4 games it's US only. Sorry Canada....

I played it online for a couple hours today.
I find a random person playing and freak with them until they either challenge me to a deathmatch or quit.

Never thought to try the online version. I'll check it out tonight.

Fallout is one of the best video game franchises ever introduced, particularly the PC version. The custom mods make them have one of the best replay experiences ever. I know I'm partial, but Vegas was awesome. I cant wait for a follow up.

For shear size and scope, 3 was certainly the more complete game. Vegas was more like a super sized expansion pack for 3.
Like I said, I'm a bit partial because I live here. I did a ton more mods on 3 and played it endlessly. For Vegas I just played it through without mods a few times. It didn't really need them.
The official expansion packs for 3 turned it into easy mode after awhile. You could get almost the best armor and weapons in the game in the simulator expansion (the snow/Japanese one), and you could get there with a brand new toon if you were careful. Was by far my favorite expansion, but I would have to avoid it until MUCH later in the game so I wouldn't be tempted to just suit up in power armor and gauss rifle and just annihilate.

Hard to go wrong this week when it comes to game purchases. Got 80% of my video game related Christmas shopping done today! and will buy a few PS4 games for myself Friday, even though I will be Ps4-less for a while yet...

The kids want FIFA, NBA 2K14, and Lego Marvel. I'm guessing I can get 2/3 tomorrow and pick a free game for myself. NBA 2K14 won't be available yet.

What...just...what...
Getting endlessly killed on sneaking bits is really annoying. Having said that, it got more fun again after I finally got past that stage.

The buy 2 get 1 on ps4 is available on Amazon as well

And have you seen the PS4 ads? They're aimed exclusively at manchildren between the age of 18-35, which is JO's main demographic.

Fear of addiction. I'm already a lazy shitbag as it is.

No, but I did buy Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 today. I've never played a COD game before and I'm not sure I'm going to like it, but it was less than ten bucks so I figured I should give it a try.

Don't let it turn you off FPS type games. The single player has a good story, but the multiplayer feels like you are fighting in a phone booth. Not to mention anyone still playing MW2 is vastly better than you by this time.
I got turned off to COD a few years ago. Maps are too small. Unless you have the best PC (what I play on, and not the best) or mad 13 year old skills you just get rocked.
BF is the way to go.
EDIT: As to your further reply, COD has great single player stories. Its the multiplayer thats lacking.
You see a car, you should be able to get into it. You see a building, well, if I try to hit a sniper with a rocket launcher hiding up there, even if I dont kill him he should have to move, right?
BF is macro. COD was amazing when it was a WW2 based game. It pales in comparison to BF in anything now. Vehicles and destructible environments are the way of the future for FPS. COD just doesnt get it.

Single player was the only reason to buy COD games. You couldn't even jump or climb when I used to play it. The stories were fun, but short as hell.

Not a fan of FPS, but I really liked World at War.

I love the excrement out of Out of the Park baseball, but that's just a baseball GM simulator, no 'gameplay' or anything. Can't be bothered to commit the time/money into a video game habit.

I won't be going anywhere near multiplayer.

Sounds like you're like me. I don't touch online play. I mostly play with the kids, but I'll sometimes play a single player game when a good one comes out. I'm probably going to rent BF4 just to try it out. Try to beat it in a day or two on a redbox rental.

I love GM simulators. I tend to play franchise mode in Madden and MLB The Show but they always get repetitive.

I'm enjoying GTA 5, but the only game I never get tired of is NCAA Football 2006.
I have a dynasty that I started in 2009 that I'm still playing.

Well, you should enjoy the single player for MW2. You can finish it pretty quick but it's definitely fun.

I always found multiplayer to be annoying. Not into that at all.
If a game doesn't have a great 1 player experience then I don't play it. Battlefield is a good example.

Uncharted is the best single player series ever made.

I love the Uncharted series, but I'm also a huge fan of the God Of War games. The Batman: Arkham series is pretty good as well.

ALRIGHT, freak everything else. The two games that will be ridiculous are Destiny and Tom Clancy's The Division
both are relatively the same concept . MMO FPS, interactive worlds based after the collapse of modern society. The Division being the one most eerily realistic to what youd expect to happen if the excrement hit the fan today. MMO 3rd person survival shooter
this video shows the intro video and about 7 minutes of a online party in multiplayer
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AduurA79hFs
Destiny is being made by Bungie, the makers of Halo. it is in the future and takes place throughout our actual solar system. each player is designated as sort of a savior fighting to save whats left. kind of like halo meeting mad max. i know theres at least 3 races to choose from and 3 character classes.
it basically looks like Halo + Borderlands from this footage. Which is a very good thing. ill be beta testing this early next year.

Destiny looks like it's going to be great.
And I do have a PS3, my gamertag is PAPER R1VAL. I usually only play on weekends, but since football is over, I'll probably be on in the evenings more.

This looks amazing, I would consider buying a PS4 just for this.

Mass Effect for me. And it's not even close.
I'm big into strategy games though. I used to play games like Simcity, Rome, Panzer General, Age of Empires, Civilization, etc. I'm thinking about buying a new computer just so I can play Rome 2 Total War. Rome: Total War was the best gaming experience I've ever had.

My son and I played Knack today. As if I needed more justification to have a PS4 coming.

I agree that is the best series I have ever experienced. It's an amazing story built with epic acting and greatness intertwined to be so awesome.

Where did you get your hands on Knack? What did you think? I couldn't decide if it was going to be a game based purely for youngins or if it would have appeal to the older crowd as well.

Gamestop. I liked it. It's basically a scroller with really simple controls, but I'm not entirely sure what I was doing. My 4 year old son picked it up pretty easily. Took him a few tries to advance, but he figured out some of the controls before I did.

Pretty much, but you have to put in the time to get good at it, and I lose interest in games wry quickly. I barely have the attention span to make it through the single player campaigns.

I always hated CoD. I had MW2 and was pretty decent at it but it was just never my thing.
Halo 2 and Halo 3 were the best.

How is Activision grimy? When I think of grimy, I think of EA and the number of people I know who work there and almost quit the industry because of it. The people I know at Activision love it, almost as much as the ones at Naughty Dog.
As for the games they put out, I don't get what the problem is. Activision is, and has always been, a series based company. The only series of theirs that I've really played are Tony Hawk and Guitar Hero, the latter of which definitely dropped off when Activision took over, although that's mostly due to Rock Band taking over the market. I just don't see why their development bothers you so much. Activision responds to the market and gives the people what they want. I don't really care how many CoD games they put out. I don't buy them, so it doesn't matter. There are TONS of games out there to keep me happy. It's not the film business, where smaller titles get forced out of production by the prospect of an impossible distribution chain. Innovative games get made and sell regardless of CoD's dominance. That's the benefit of being an entirely home-based entertainment industry.

Well they bought out Blizzard, which I long considered the best company in the video game industry. Then slowly began to excrement on Blizzard's iconic franchises. They absolutely ruined Diablo 3, by putting in a RMAH (real money auction hall) meaning all items and or money could be purchased in game with real cash (with them getting a cut of course). Destroying one of the most anticipated PC games of all time .
Put in similar micro transactions into both world of warcraft and Starcraft 2 as well.
Then yeah games like COD which I think represents by far the biggest plague on gaming out there. Activison is also the company to push dlc/"season passes" to the next step the furthest, they were the first to jack up the price of a season pass from 20$ to some absurd 50$ crap (on top of buying a game?)
And of course them just running franchises into the ground pumping out 500 of the same game with virtually no changes over and over again completely stagnating the industry. EA definitely isnt far behind selling "online passes" for their games charging you to pay a fee to play a used game online, and of course a lot of the questionable crap theyve done. EA also was responsible for a freak ton of hackings on both the ps3/xbox 360 with their micro transactions in FIFA/Madden being an excellent source of rl cash for hackers.
Actually now that I think of it, ive had a credit card of mine stolen because of EA a few years ago

Oh. I have no interest in Blizzard games. So there you go. I didn't know what you meant by monetizing everything, but yes, I hate that. It's the same excrement with those iPad games which prey on children. Mine can't make in-app or in-game purchases, but plenty of people who simply don't know about it have kids who run up bills. It's a huge issue. I didn't realize Activision started that trend. Again, as far as stagnation, I don't see it. There are so many companies putting out games. I've never had a lack of good stuff to play. It's not like you have to buy Activision or EA games. The industry is thriving, not dying.
As for the hacking issue, I had a credit card stolen via Xbox Live Marketplace, but I've never done any transactions within games.

EA definitely isnt far behind selling "online passes" for their games charging you to pay a fee to play a used game online, and of course a lot of the questionable crap theyve done. EA also was responsible for a freak ton of hackings on both the ps3/xbox 360 with their micro transactions in FIFA/Madden being an excellent source of rl cash for hackers.
Actually now that I think of it, ive had a credit card of mine stolen because of EA a few years ago
That stuff has had a secondary market (Ebay, etc till they stopped allowing it) since the days of Ultima Online and Everquest/Asheron's call. I know because I used to make a killing as a teenager when I learned how to work the in game and real world economies. They just made it easier, the market already existed for awhile. Diablo 3 killed Diablo 3
EA is the true scum. They've basically pressured a lot of the developers they publish for (Bioware, especially) to dumb down their games and try to make everything an AAA studio blockbuster. THEY are especially the worst with the microtransactions.
What Blizzard/ACtivision does is just allow a market for other players to sell to other players. Not the actual company directly selling virtual items they create and control. That's what EA has done....thank god they got rid of the online pass bullshit for Madden.
-
Oh. I have no interest in Blizzard games. So there you go. I didn't know what you meant by monetizing everything, but yes, I hate that. It's the same excrement with those iPad games which prey on children. Mine can't make in-app or in-game purchases, but plenty of people who simply don't know about it have kids who run up bills. It's a huge issue. I didn't realize Activision started that trend. Again, as far as stagnation, I don't see it. There are so many companies putting out games. I've never had a lack of good stuff to play. It's not like you have to buy Activision or EA games. The industry is thriving, not dying.
As for the hacking issue, I had a credit card stolen via Xbox Live Marketplace, but I've never done any transactions within games.
Well the phone thing was more about piracy, especially with Android (I think I read that like 83% of games on android phones are pirated or something absurd)
Eitherway its pretty amusing that EA and Activision are by FAR the most hated companies in the gaming industry, and nothing else even comes remotely close
-
EA is ultra grimy.
EA sent me a little over $140 bucks because I joined that class-action lawsuit about them being a football video game monopoly.
Honestly didn't think anything would come from it, but it only took me about 10 minutes to file online.
The check came about two weeks ago.

I got the same check last week.
It was for $125, it was supposed to be for more since i had a lot of their gamecube/PS2 madden and NCAA games. The max was like $205 or something.

so it looks like Amazon is dropping the ball big time with the PS4 Launch.
im hearing reports of people who pre ordered on Jun 10th and 11th getting their orders delayed due to "lack of stock"
meanwhile people who ordered in July or August are having their bundles shipped as we speak
im gonna be super butthurt if they freak up my order, and i mean this sincerely lol

It's amazon, if they Eff something up I expect them to make it right with gift card and such.
The only people whose orders have gotten effed up that I heard are ones changing billing info, though there could be others

lol the only compensation i saw from someone who complained about their order being delayed was 10 dollar gift card.
i ordered on Jun 11th and mine has been paid off in full with a Amazon Gift Card.
i dont see how they could freak mine up

Mine is being prepared for shipment. I sure hope that means it's on the way. I already have everything else sitting here. I ordered on June 10th. What's the status on yours right now?
-
Wait...how could it be shipped for people ordering in July or August? I thought they closed off ordering on June 15th and never reopened it.
-
Mine is being prepared for shipment. I sure hope that means it's on the way. I already have everything else sitting here. I ordered on June 10th. What's the status on yours right now?
Mine was ordered on June 11th.
My status is Not Yet Shipped.
as long as yours says Preparing for Shipment your fine.
i know alot of it is relative with your distance from your regional electronics warehouse. they ship others earlier when theyre farther away.
ive heard of people that live 25 miles or less from a warehouse not have their item ship until the night before or morning of a release date and get it as guaranteed.
other times Amazon will make sure you get it, say you ordered 2 day shipping, as long as its a item scheduled for release day delivery they try to make it happen. and maybe it didnt ship out 2 days before delivery estimate? they upgrade it for you to get it there.
the fact my order is still in the Not Yet Shipped phase is not what worries me.
what worries me are the stories of people who ordered Jun 10th-11th getting their orders cancelled while others who ordered beyond the initial Launch window are already en route to their shipping addresses lol.
i heard of one guy who ordered a Watch Dogs Launch Bundle on the 11th. Since Watch Dogs was pushed back it cancelled his bundle order and moved his spot in the PS4 order queue . he recieved a cancellation email because of it and had to call and raise hell to get his order fixed.
other people have had their orders cancelled for pretty much no reason.
then again its the internet, trolls are everywhere. especially in these console wars. GameFaqs right now is almost the video game version of TGG right now.
Theres also the fact that the sheer volume of ps4's Amazon is trying to ship and process right now has put a severe strain on their logistics system.
For example, someone might not have been notified their product is shipping. a day will go by, and instead ofit saying prepare to ship, which would be the next step in the process, itll go right to shipping and already have been scanned at a facility en route.
point in case, millions of these systems are flying and driving across the country as we speak and naturally theres going to be errors.
i just dont get how people who ordered 5 or 6 months in advance are having problems lol
-
I'm telling ya its only people who changed billing info having problems.
Unless you changed billing info I wouldn't worry, it's amazon.
Probably the most respected retailer in America, and definitely the most respected online one
-
Mine also says not yet shipped. I ordered with an Amex gift card
-

I changed billing info last week to apply cards and a ton of rewards points. Mine says Shipping Now. I think it's random, and nowhere near as widespread as people claim. Like you said, Amazon is the best.
-
Oh, and Coach, I've had stuff ship at 11PM the night before release day and still gotten it in time.
-
Yeah he's in California I'd expect his to ship last
-
Yeah he's in California I'd expect his to ship last
No, I'm in California. He's in Florida. Mine already shipped.
-
That's what I meant. Weird that yours shipped first and you're from cali
-
DCM is alluding to the fact that Amazon has more shipping centers in the midwest and eastern seaboard.
which would explain why he got it first, his package has to travel farther.
then again as good as Amazon's logistics are, im sure theyre feeling a strain at the moment. lol
-

lol Digital River is the worst
but yeah, honestly ive seen a decent amount of people report that theyve changed both billing and shipping and are having no problems.
but for online retailers that is usually the issue.
i paid mine off in full with a Amazon Gift Card like i said earlier. that would make 0 sense for them to have an error me giving them back their own money lol

Nah I figured ps4s would be coming from California and Japan mostly. I'm not expecting mine to come from Ohio or Idaho or wherever amazon usually ships from
-
Nah I figured ps4s would be coming from California and Japan mostly. I'm not expecting mine to come from Ohio or Idaho or wherever amazon usually ships from
nah the ps4s have been stateside in their major centers for a while. ive seen tons of pictures and videos of them storing and sorting for shipment.
one amazon warehouse employee even said they have a UPS office literally inside the warehouse for their larger ones so theres literally no middleman theyre sorted right into UPS for delivery
the only reason im paranoid is because my last big online video game transaction was for that Ni No Kuni : Wizards Edition
which is one of the few collectors editions for games these days that is actually limited.
lol they were going for 600 bucks on EBay at one point.
i ordered with them in advance . spoke with numerous sales reps and confirmed everything was in order and was assured id get my product.
100's of people were sent emails the night before shipping stating that their orders were cancelled. i was one of them.
i was scouring the internet and NamcoBandai was getting flamed on their message board.
i found a random gaming forum where some guy had posted a link that was only meant to be used by sales reps to fix certain peoples orders.
it was literally a employee. i used it and placed another order when the thing was completely unavailable after cancelling my order and i received it.
its still in the ups box and in the plastic it was sent in lol
-
You're not being paranoid. Your order is definitely getting cancelled, no one will ever be happy again, and God is dead.

The fulfillment centers are covered with them. Look for the photos or videos. Shitloads of them waiting to go out.

My system is in Fernley, NV. Never had it ship from there before. Should be to the local UPS facility by tomorrow morning where it can sit for a day before being delivered.

know there were several last of us fans on here.
Thursday sony is announcing a" Naughty Dog's story expansion for The Last of Us is a known announcement " (on ps4)
also a lot of news about broken ps4s shipping, with video problems and the like

theres not alot technically its only 4 confirmed fails and everyone just keeps re-reporting it.
and some of the people did things like turning off their system during an install others were demo ps4's for IGN and Kotaku that didnt have the day 1 patch.
we will see.
i expect failures on both consoles i just hope mine isnt one of them lol
-
and some ps4 game reviews are up
http://www.ign.com/games/reviews/ps4
apparently Knack is the worst ps4 game, and Flower the best
Not really sure why people like Flower, i feel like its made for someone on lsd to play

They would have been better off sticking with Crash Bandicoot or something with "classic" value
like the mario game on wii u is simple as hell, but since its just like SNES Mario its impossible not to love
I was never a fan of Crash but i know tons of people love it
Then again the game was clearly made to appease to young children
Gotta give parents a reason to get a ps4 for their young kids
-
Shame on them for trying something new
-
Shame on them for trying something new
Platformers just arent very popular.
They can try something new, using a character/universe that people love
Theres a reason that games like Sonic and Mario still sell very well, yet are constantly evolving every time
Yet almost every new platformer fails marvelously

IGN reported that it was a retail ps4 for them that broke not a demo, same with Kotaku
People bricking it because theyre stupid (or the guy who streamed himself pulling out the hard drive while it was on?) dont concern me since thats just morons being morons.
But with any launch, always gotta expect some problems

Speaking of games to play while tripping...
N2O for the PS1. Soundtrack by The Crystal Method (Vegas Babby!).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ohp3Ix_KWww
It was impossible to die in the game while tripping on shrooms. I couldn't play it worth a excrement sober. I'm guessing 'sober' wasn't the target demographic.

I saw that about Knack. It was fun when I played the demo, but apparently it's like the demo on endless repeat. Canceled my Amazon B2G1 and got B2G1 elsewhere. Have Injustice, Lego Marvel, FIFA, and NBA 2K14 at home now. All kid choices but Injustice (the wife likes fighting games. My son wants to play, but I need to check it first).

Maybe someone who understands audio better than me could explain this.
But how would someone get 5.1 (or 7.1) surround from their ps4 on a set of high end headphones ?
Dont you need HDMI pass through for that to work, or something ?
-

5.1 and 7.1 surround headphones use an optical cable to connect directly to the PS4, or you can run them through a processor. I'm assuming the PS4 will have optical audio out just like the PS3 does. The additional speakers in the headphones basically make it like a mini surround unit.
-
Isnt optical lower in quality though than hdmi ?
I thought DTS was hdmi pass through only
Like I know if you have a high end receiver for real surround they usually use hdmi pass through.
Ive never used hdmi for headphones before, but figured this generation could be the time to check it out

DTS is not HDMI only unless it's DTS HD. Basically, optical cables can't carry uncompressed sound. DTS can be carried in its (standard) compressed form. There are a lot of HD audio formats now that can only be carried via HDMI. Some people don't think you're going to hear a difference, which may or may not be true. Ultimately, the speakers are the most important thing. If you get a high end set of headphones that have enough speakers for 5.1 or 7.1 channel sound, you're not going to care about the optical restrictions.

depends how old your kid is and how strict you are with what he sees.
theres just regular fighting which isnt too gruesome or anything from what i played and i put a few hours into it.
then theres story mode. the only thing i could think of here would be theres use of tobacco and maybe a few "hells" or "damns" here or there.
-
Just so all you vidya gamers know, we've got an Amazon banner coming to the site soon. So if there's something you have your eye on and you're willing to wait a couple days to order it...
i had to return my copy of NBA2k to use the money towards starting to fix my truck.
im prolly gonna buy it again soon, do you know when you might expect to have the amazon banner up by?
-

apparently Targets are getting extra stock...for anyone who didn't preorder and want to wait in line tomorrow. Most people don't know about it yet. most stores got about 60 extra systems
it's not every target, but most of the targets around here
-
Looks like I wouldn't have made much if anything on a resale. Glad I cancelled those preorders.

I spoke to Amazon and had my delivery confirmed last night. The PS4 status is shipped. Looks good on my end

Apparently amazon is sending anyone who purchased a launch day ps4 an email, offering them a year of psn plus + a 10$ PlayStation store gift card for 50$
Not really the best deal
-
Just Target?
just target
and he mentioned something about tax free exempt retailers having limitations with preorders...so they ended up getting launch day stock. i don't remember exactly the specifics. I just know Target will have about 60 units at each store (not every store, but most i've seen) on a first come first serve basis
-

Really? Sounds like it won't be that hard to get one.
-
You can easily get a ps4 bundle from a legit retailer tomorrow for under 500 still
Im seeing that most Costco's have (60+) bundles for 480 with a year of psn plus and a free controller.
Best Buy also in the same boat, and supposedily Target according to JFIF above
I dont think its going to be difficult to find one at all
The fact that ps4 and xbox one are coming out a week from each other should be a complete game changer for scarcity
-
So which console has the most buzz surrounding it?
-
Really? Sounds like it won't be that hard to get one.
We'll see. They have tons of money. They'd have paid extra just to have one for sure. They'll sell well around here.

60 per store is nothing for a lot of areas. All I know is that Amazon has a wait list of 2.2 million people. I'm guessing there will be shortages tomorrow.

Fair point
But how many retailers are there too ?
I mean walmart, best buy, costco, sams, targets across the nation ? and 60 per was just the bundles, not even the "normal" ones
-
Are games still going to be $60? Weren't Xbox/ps2 games 50?

Costco only sells bundles at launch. Some stores don't even have that many. Funny thing around here is that, as heavily populated as it is, there are 3 Targets, 3 Best Buys, 1 Costco, and 1 Toys r Us in a 10 mile radius. None of them are in Santa Monica, Brentwood, or Pacific Palisades. It'll be tough here. Just one Gamestop, and that's preorder only.

Yes. Games are still $60.

Upgrade your own computer FFS. It will be far superior at a similar price point. Your kids can play a 1 generation old platform system for 25% of the price and not know the difference. What is the big freaking deal?

the nextr gen systems will be capable of having mid tier gaming rig ability.
thats pretty good for the price point IMO.

Get a 26 inch monitor and you are pretty much set. No hunching required and everything is just as big or bigger than if you were sitting 10 feet away from the screen.
Just busting balls guys. But... I seriously don't understand the hype. Who the freak cares if you get your new system tomorrow or in a couple weeks? Did you guys stand outside overnight to get the new IPhones too?

I work in IT.. I'm not stupid. I have a great computer I just don't enjoy playing games on it. My screen is 24" or 55" if I feel like switching the display port to my TV.
I don't need these systems on launch day but the only effort it required was to go on amazon and click Add to Cart. I would never stand in line for one of these things. Even then, I only prefer having it on day 1 in case I can sell it to someone for some $$.

Fair enough.
But if you work in IT you know what can be done with a normal computer. You can just drop $1-200 every couple years and stay WAY ahead of the consoles. You can plug your computer right in to your big screen TV. Hell, I have a PS3 controller that plugs in via USB if I need it. Quite honestly I don't need it.
-
Coach, did yours ever ship?
mine finally shipped after 8pm.
-
Everything is going to merge together in the next 5-10 years anyways. Your computer will control every TV in your house. You will be able to play games at ridiculous speeds wirelessly from any company. PS and XBOX will cease to exist.
-
so a Uncharted for PS4 and a Last Of Us game for PS4 with a new character added
watching a PS4 special on Spike tv theyre announcing stuff for the next hour

I love PC gaming, but there are a crap ton of console exclusives. Piracy has been a significant deterrent for some developers on the pc, as its far far more prone to piracy than consoles.
PCs also require far more upkeep than consoles, BSOD, hardware malfunctions are significantly more common. Most people arent really capable of figuring out and addressing the majority of pc problems

I have a 60" Pioneer, a comfortable as hell couch, and a great surround set up. I like the controller better than the mouse and keyboard. I like keeping my computer at my desk, which is not near my TV, and I have no desire to move everything into the middle of my home entertainment setup. I have a good monitor and a gaming rig, and I'll play stuff on the computer at times. I'll always prefer the console, though, and my TV. My kids are the same way. They like being able to play together and lay around doing it. I also love the PS3 exclusives, and I use my system for the Blu Ray and apps as well.
As for why get the PS4, why not? It's Christmas coming up and it's all my kids wanted. My daughter is 6 and does know the difference. We have a lot of friends in the gaming industry, including the parents of some of her friends. She watched the PS4 announcement live. She doesn't even play THAT much, but she loves it. So, my kids have Christmas tomorrow. I don't have to brave any lines, etc. The reason I wanted to be sure I got it tomorrow is that she really wanted her friends to come over after school and play. So I've got 6 kids coming over and would really prefer if all 8 including my own aren't disappointed.

I remember when my friends and I thought this game had the best graphics.
Lighting people on fire with the taser was funny as hell.

Everything is going to merge together in the next 5-10 years anyways. Your computer will control every TV in your house. You will be able to play games at ridiculous speeds wirelessly from any company. PS and XBOX will cease to exist.
Great. And when that happens, I won't have a PS or Xbox. As it stands, BTW, I do have a HTPC. It's just not the most powerful computer in the house, and it's certainly not something I'd want to play games on.
-
PCs also require far more upkeep than consoles, BSOD, hardware malfunctions are significantly more common. Most people arent really capable of figuring out and addressing the majority of pc problems
So, stupid people should buy consoles? Ok I guess...
BSOD hasn't been around for years, and anyone that got it was doing it wrong. I've never had one since the acronym even came out. Upkeep? I hit it with compressed air a couple times a year. Every other year I upgrade something. Usually 2nd or 3rd gen stuff that I get for peanuts on Newegg.
Exclusives? If it's on Xbox I can get it. PS4... Can't really think of a game I ever wanted that wasn't available on PC as well.

What happened to the whole being able to retire soon thing?
That's about 4-5 months away.
I'm pretty broke till then

The Witcher 3 looks freaking mindblowing
-
Because on the rare days that I like to play video games I prefer to chill on the couch and play on a 50" tv instead of hunching over my keyboard and mouse
.....Good video cards have direct HDMI connections. I stream excrement on my computer and watch it on my TV all the time. and when i play games it's at a higher frame rate

You guys did all see Southpark last night, right?
Upgrade your own computer FFS. It will be far superior at a similar price point. Your kids can play a 1 generation old platform system for 25% of the price and not know the difference. What is the big freaking deal?
Ever since I built a gaming rig last year (first in about 6-7 years), I've barely touched my PS3/Xbox. The only time i use them is for netflix or HBOgo it seems like lately...and madden.
I have a gtx 670 FTW and it runs everything amazing. I imagine worst case I SLI it if one of these games is really demanding

Uhm BSOD ABSOLUTELY still exists. Are you sure you still game on the PC ?
Go look at any pc gaming forums, people have the problem all the time. Granted its not as common as it used to be, but it still happens. I had it happen once or twice when I played FFXIV when it re-released this recent august
and not all pc problems are easy to fix. Some things like replacing ram are, but other things can be a bitch. If I told someone on these forums that I thought the capacitors on their north board were bad how many people on these boards do you think would have even a shred of a fricken clue wtf that means ?
-
The Witcher 3 looks freaking mindblowing
I LOVED the 1st one, but was meh with the 2nd. The 1st was more visually insane and the combat was so much more fluid. Great stories in both though.
3rd does look amazing though. I'll have to play a demo before I drop the 60 though.

When I was 6 my Dad got me a Sega Master System, and I would play Alex Kid after school.
Iggy's 6 year old is going to be playing The Division on the PS4.
Man, times have changed.

I gave up on PC gaming when I had to buy all new excrement just to play a new game in high res. Having to use a bootdisk to play Dark Forces is one thing. Having to buy a $300 video card just to play Oblivion is ridiculous.

Computers are so incredibly to build, and the UI's are extremely friendly now. I built my first rig when i was 13-14, back in the late 90s...without the type of connectivity and information resources we have now, and it wasn't really that much of a problem.
You could just as easily get a RROD or YLOD.
That said, i'll still get both an xbox one and PS4 eventually because I like the system exclusives....but as I just stated I've barely touched my PS3/Xbox since i built a high end rig. PC is just a superior option if you have the right setup
-

Did you miss the part where I said if you BSOD you are doing it wrong? Read slower next time. Now that I think of it, I did have 1 BSOD in 17 years. I moved to a new house and my RAM came loose in the process. Opened it up and reseated everything (without petting a cat and rubbing a balloon against my hair first), and it booted just fine.
That was 15 years ago.

Not really. You buy one card, and you're good for awhile. It depends if you want to use ALL the settings. Lots of PC gamers are super OCD about that so they go crazy with their video cards......
it's easy to get caught up in wanting to run every game at 60 FPS at max settings.

I thought you were broke? What's $60 for a game when you've spent/planning on spending thousands on toys?

BSOD is commonly caused by failing hardware.
All PC hardware fails eventually.

That's what messed me up. No matter how good the resolution was I knew it could always be better. I hate settling for excrement.

Crysis was 100x worse than Oblivion, and I was able to BETA on a 256K video card. It was rough at times, but certainly playable.
(I spent $75 to upgrade my video card to play at max settings)

a PS4 with a game and a couple of controllers and what not is $500

At least we sort of derailed the derailment of the 'video game' thread by the 'I NEED MY NEW CONSOLE NOW' thread, to the 'PC vs. Console' thread.

Ive never had a console of any sort excrement the bed, except for my regular nintendo.
And if you have enough parts to build 5 pcs, youre spending far far more than 100-200 every couple of years.
Hard drives fail relatively frequently (especially older SSDs). i think building a PC is a great option for most people, but definitely not everybody.
And the biggest drawback with pc vs consoles that you left out, is local multiplayer. And a LAN party is drastically more complicated than local multiplayer on a console (complicated in the sense that you either need to buy very expensive gaming laptops, or move your entire pc setup around with you)
-

I have an intel i5-2500k O/Ced to 4.4 ghz, 8 gigs DDR3 ram, with an GTX 670 EVGA FTW 2mb.
Kicks pretty much any game available's derriere except for REALLY poorly coded games like Rome 2. Most of the time it's poor optimization, not hardware causing issues

Man, this console discussion is really upsetting you. It's like a console killed your mother or something. Did a PS2 shoot a sanded off disc at her and decapitate her Oddjob style?
I'll lay it out again:
As a parent, I pay for Christmas presents.
My kids wanted a PS4.
I didn't see the point of waiting until Christmas to give it to them, so I preordered it on Amazon in about 10 seconds.
My daughter asked to have friends come play it on launch day.
So why do I want it now? Because the above series of events led to a bunch of kids coming over tomorrow. It's certainly not the end of the world to not have it tomorrow, but I'd imagine you can see why it's infinitely preferable. The other thing is that I had a 360 stolen off a Fed Ex truck and it took a month to get the damn thing. It's irritating. I wanted to make sure mine was on the way. So did a couple of other people. Again, sorry for your loss.

Heck if I know, but the Wii's success (or sales) was built around it. The xbox 360 "used" to make family oriented games built for that, but its really a dying breed.
I still think the most fun I have gaming is if I have a few friends over and rock something with co-op (not necessarily split screen)
I mean they dont make nearly as many games that support it, but I know that i grew up having friends over and playing games all night.
Theres generations of people who still think of Goldeneye 64 and Mario Kart 64 as some of their best gaming memories ever
-
where did $60 come into this?
a PS4 with a game and a couple of controllers and what not is $500
I ended up paying under $300 in actual money for the system, controller, and 4 games:
System and extra controller w/ rewards: Just under $100 including tax
Knack on Target screwup: $39.99 + tax. Traded it in at Gamestop for NBA 2K14.
B2G1 deal: $120 + tax
I usually spend more than that on Christmas, so it worked out really well. The kids will probably get a present or two, but this replaces the big gifts.

I never buy 1st generation stuff. It's absolutely unnecessary if you know what you are doing. I've always kept my hobbies on a short leash, so trust me on the financials.
I've never had a hard drive fail. I know how to take care of them, and I use the right company (WD).
It took me 2 hours (once) to wire my house in college to have Quake/Warcraft/Descent LAN parties. IN 1995!?! Who the freak has LAN parties anymore anyways? We did it because linking our 56K modems to each other in DOS was a PITA. If you go over to your friends house for a LAN party these days... Is it Harry Potter dressup night the next?

Yeah, you're right about families. Except for Iggz, we're not really that target audience for that though.
And yes, you're 100% right about goldeneye and mario kart. Those are some of my favorites personally. But the average gaming age has changed considerably. It's gotten a lot older and most people go for the online multiplayer now. Especially when you dont have to leave the house and you can get your own screen. Local multiplayer isn't as emphasized for the "core" gaming population
-

It's not so much about people coming over as multiple people in the same household wanting to play together. Although Rock Band was absolutely a 'have people over for drunken multiplayer' game.
-

N64 is the only split screen multiplayer I've done in the past... two years?

It's actually the easiest time to get it. Preorder, delivered, boom. There may be shortages through the end of the year. Coach was worried because there's no guarantee he'd get it anytime soon if there was an issue with his order.

That's awesome. The "wait list" is a notification system. They don't hold the consoles for you, they just send you an email when they're back in stock.

I'm more concerned with the business side of things. Looks like the PS4 is winning the online sentiment battle:
http://www.forbes.com/sites/sap/2013/11/14/ps4-vs-xbox-one-winner-emerges-via-social-media-analysis/
Sony is clearly firing on all cylinders.
-
I think it's impossible to say one console or the other is winning the battle at this point. To begin with, the war is always ongoing and neither is going to "win." Unlike Sega neither SONY nor MS is going anywhere. Unlike Nintendo, neither console's target audience is a tiny subsection of gamers.
Beyond that, a leader won't truly emerge for at least a year. The vast majority of buyers right now are people who have a clear favorite of the two. The majority of gamers, the casual ones, will wait a while for one or the other to start the price battle and get a system cheaper than launch day cost.
-
There's definitely an end point. There has already been buzz around the tech business circles about the possibility of Microsoft selling off its entertainment business. If the Xbox One isn't a hit, that could very well become a possibility. Same thing with Sony.
-

That rumor got started because the guy being tapped to take over for Balmer is seen as someone who would consider selling off the Xbox division.
I'll say it now, there's no way Microsoft sells off Xbox. Even if it doesn't "win" the console war it still generates far too much income, and growing, from its services. Obviously they need to sell bunches of consoles, but even if they don't, if they continue to make money from the 360 it's still a valuable division. MS is learning that the new world doesn't see a need for Windows apart from their work desks. Xbox is central to their "cloud" intitiatives.
If MS did sell off Xbox, I think it would be the beginning of the end for the Redmond Giant.

I was able to get in on a pre-order yesterday with Gamestop for a Day One edition packaged with Forza 5 and an extra controller. All of the small sum of $753!
I'm wondering, I've done a little more research and there are mentions about how the PS4 will be far superior because of its graphics capability, better memory etc. My question, is one going to be clearly better than the other based upon the stats we've seen thus far?
I like the Xbox because my kids are still on the young side, and I'm not going to get them alot of the "M" games just yet, so Kinect will provide a welcome distraction. Sony has a camera with an "eye" but I'm not sure if it will afford the same experience.
What do you guys think?
-
I'm sure they'll be happy with the XB1. By the time they're old enough for M games, the PS4 will be old news.

I don't think it matters much. The PS4 does have better graphical capabilities, but your kids won't really notice. We opted for the Sony because I like the exclusives better for myself, and I had excrement luck with RROD on the 360 multiple times. I got tired of sending the thing out over and over again.
I'm not sure what M games has to do with anything. IIRC, Sony has had more exclusives outside of the M rating. Kinect does make up for that, though. I prefer the Move, personally, because it was more responsive, and the games like Killzone that used it with the gun attachment were great. Having said that, the new Kinect is apparently a big improvement. It all comes down to personal preference.

It won't. Talked to my friend this morning. He said it's not Uncharted 4. It's more of a reboot for the next gen. Different storyline, so it won't feed off the last three.

I think hes referring to whether Uncharted 4 (which is almost certainly coming eventually) will be a ps4 exclusive, or released on both ps3 and ps4. As I know xbox/sony both have stated they wanted to continue support for their last generation of consoles for another 2-3 years to continue to boost sales
Though I could be wrong

Apparently my post wasn't clear.
The next Uncharted won't be coming to PS3. The PS3 series of Uncharted is done.
As I said, talked to my friend who works for Naughty Dog this morning. He hadn't been able to comment on their next project before the announcement. When I asked him today about Uncharted 4, he specifically said it's NOT Uncharted 4. It's more like a reboot than a continuation of the franchise. They won't be calling it Uncharted 4.
-
Also im noticing a LOT of people are complaining about the next gen EA sports games (ie Madden) saying the ps3/xbox 360 versions were better
I kind of expect that, as I remember the first Madden game to come out for the xbox 360 was absolutely fricken HORRENDOUS

Oh I thought you were referring to something similar to what theyre doing with the last of us, where they are making another version for the ps4 that isnt a sequel, but has exclusive content different than the ps3 original.

Supposedly updating your PS4 is causing a lot of games to not function properly, so theyre suggesting that unless you plan on playing online or NEED to update (certain functions on the ps4 require you to update it to work) that you might want to postpone it until they implement a fix.

It looks so so much like the ps3, although I couldnt figure out how to turn the thing on because there are no visible buttons or switches anywhere on the thing. The power/reset button are virtually completely hidden/flush
They definitely made it very stylish, like something an adult wouldnt mind having in their living room without it looking like a video game console.
Had I not owned one and watched tv at someones house I wouldnt think for a second that it was a gaming console

Dude. I turned the thing off twice trying to eject a disc. Not because it's difficult but because I didn't want to read the manual. I assumed they were side by side instead of top and bottom. And yeah, I like the form factor.
As for playability, we had 8 kids here today who freaking loved it. NBA 2K14 and FIFA are huge steps up, Injustice looks great on the system, and LEGO Marvel is great (as all LEGO games are), but doesn't really require the upgraded graphics. I'm excited to try out Contrast later.
I don't know how necessary it was to upgrade, but I'm glad I did. The fact it didn't cost much to do it factors into that feeling.

These launch titles suck but oh well. I bought Battlefield 4 but haven't opened it yet, will probably return it based on reviews.

Glad I didn't buy it. There was no way I was going to after buying the PS3 one.
I was talking about the first Xbox one not the new one

Since I'm moving overseas at the start of the new year, I have to sell a bunch of stuff, and this includes my Xbox. Found some guy on craigslist willing to buy that and all my games for $160. Not a bad deal. Anyway, on the phone he sounds like he has asbergers or something, completely socially weird. I meet him at his dorm downtown, and he looks like a shorter and fatter Louis CK, with a full grown beard... and a fedora.
Went into his room so he can test the system and the game. The stench was overwhelming. Anime all over the room. Typical socially awkward nerd stuff. Par for the course. So along with my system I included a controller, and he said that he doesn't need two since "no one will want to play with me. Everyone on my floor ignores me. I have no one to play with." I'm like "Uh, okay..."
So I'm leaving after he hands me the cash, and he says "Hey, uh, would you have a beer with me?" He just met me, but I'm probably the only real social contact he's had in months, so it was quite possibly the saddest thing I've ever experienced firsthand. Told him I couldn't and had to leave. I almost felt like giving him the money back. So damn sad. Christ. People like him do exist.

You are gonna feel so guilty when you see him on the news with a bomb strapped to his chest or something ridiculous

I downloaded Metro the Last Light this weekend for aboot 25 bones.
A very linear FPS so far, but still really good post-apocalyptic ambiance in a bombed out Moscow. It's based on some Sci-Fi novels that I may check oot after I beat the game.

You should have at least given him a reacharound. Merry freaking Christmas indeed.
-
You did him a favor. Seeing drunk tommy might have dampened his view on the world even more
-
Alternatively, it might have made him realise that a life spent alone isn't such a bad thing after all.
Tommy, you should have made him a project. Put a couple of beers in him, get him cleaned up, some new threads, then out on the town for blow and strippers. Then when he turns his nerd brain to building the next big software giant, you'd be top of his Christmas card list. I think you missed an opportunity.

Fen, now that you got some nice fantasy cash spend $5 during the steam holiday sale and get Dragon Age bundle (game + expansion was like $5 the other day )
Finally got Shogun 2 after missing it everytime it went on sale...a couple of times in the past i just forgot about it when i knew it was on sale and then felt like an derriere paying full price. Got it for $7.50
Also got the new Civilization 5 expansion (Brave New World) that came out in July for $9 on amazon...first time i've seen it that cheap. Both pretty cool...put some hours into each
-

Looks like I missed the deal. It's $15 now. I'll wait until it goes on sale again.
-
The steam sales usually rehash everything that went on at the end.
Which means id be willing to get its extremely likely youll be able to get anything that again either tomorrow (as its NYE) or at the end of the sale which is the 3 days after.
-
I've had Borderlands 2 in my steam library for like 8 months when it was on sale for $6 and just finally installed it the other night.
pretty fun game. haven't messed with multiplayer yet but I like the RPG elements of the game. The dialog/characters are pretty great too
-
So my brother bought himself a PS4 for Xmas, so I spent a lot of the holiday week playing Madden, NBA, and Lego Marvel. Not all that impressed with the nextgen system, but I guess it's just the beginning. But I do remember being floored when the PS3 came out.

None of those are considered good games. Next generation madden is universally considered bad, Lego is Legos, and it depends on which NBA game. One is considered stellar, one horrible
Not saying next gen is insane, but killzone was REALLY pretty on the ps4.

I'm glad to see them using the Frostbite 2 engine.
DA:O. Amazing story, char development, and combat system.
DA:2. Felt like this game took a backseat while EA finished the Mass Effect trilogy. Played it 1 hour total since it came out. Just felt rushed. I can understand trying to streamline the combat, cause a lot of RPGs are adopting action oriented battle systems.
All action games are also adopting RPG char customization.
I'm still dceptic cause I refuse to play the sequel after dumping over 100 hours in DA:O
FF15, The Witcher 3, DA:Inquisition, X on WiiU, The Division,
RPGs are making a comeback.
-
I really enjoyed Dragon Age 2. I know a lot of people knocked it but I liked everything about it. The teams are completely different between the Mass Effect franchise and the Dragon Age one, so one doesn't affect the other.
I also saw recently that one of the Biowarans I follow on Twitter posted that they have created new office space for yet another new franchise. So Mass Effect's sequels, Dragon Age: Inquisition, and some as-yet-unnamed project are all on tap for Bioware's future.

I know they were different teams. Same studio nevertheless, I'd imagine more resources were put into finalizing the Mass Effect trilogy than DA2.
DA Origins was a cohesive experience. Shortly into DA2 I felt like I was playing a rushed formula they tried to streamline. The game looked much better but I was sorely disappointed.
With what the next gen systems are capable of , from Destiny later this year, to DA :Inquisitions and such, it'll be hard to freak up making a good game.
they look to be redeeming themself. Sadly I won't have a DA2 data file to import. Cause I can't bring myself to play it lol.
But I will definitely give DA : Inquisition a try.
I still maintain that The Division is the best looking game I've seen to date. But sadly it probably won't be out till 2015.
Good thing this year will be flooded with great games by the end of the year
-
The teams were truly seperate, so one game had nothing to do with the other. Interestingly, on sort of that same topic, Mass Effect 2 was actually rushed by EA. I didn't have a problem with that game either. DA2 was fun with its time-spanning scope. It covered years of your character's history and I liked growing with a couple of the characters.
Anyway, my understanding is that when Inquisition comes out, you'll be able to actually create a save file by answering key plot questions that popped up in the previous games. Bioware is trying to let people feel the entire DA:I experience whether they've played through the previous games or not.

Whats an RPG on the PC/PS3 that is worthy of the money.? I've spent too much on sports games the last month(WWE2K14,Madden 25, NHL 14 and NBA JAM) and need a god damned story
-
DA2 was admittingly rushed by Bioware (they said that is why they're taking a longer development cycle for Inquisition) and it was an attempt to appeal to a "wider" audience so they dumbed down the RPG elements. THank god they realied what a mistake that was
The use of the dialog wheel sucked, so did forcing you to be human and the inability to use custom armor on party members. The biggest complaint by everyone was obviously the reused environments. That was just so blatantly lazy it was offensive.
Also the templar vs mages things wasn't interesting enough to be the focal point of the story. The main antagonist was lame also. The Kunark guy was cool but he wasn't the main guy.
It wasn't a bad game but everyone including bioware knows they screwed up on that one.

what RPGs have you played in the last couple of years? talking 2009 or so
and what ones did you enjoy in the past?

Dragon Age Origins is the best RPG and one of the best games i've played in the last 10 or 15 years. Did multiple playthroughs over the years and it can easily be 60-80 hours if you're doing sidequests per playthrough.
Mass Effect 1-3 are absolutely worth it as much as people want to bitch about the ending. It was a great series.
Skyrim is great, and so was Oblivion (if you mod it on PC to remove level scaling) but those aren't exactly story centric. More about exploration and the great number of quests. Same with Fallout 3 and fallout New Vegas.
The witcher and the witcher 2 are AWESOME. Definitely pick those up on PC. Great story, great characters, pretty cool combat.
As far as JRPGs, you could can pick up the Dolphin (Wii) emulator and play Xenoblade Chronicles. one of the best JRPGs of the generation. Looks great in HD too...I had it for Wii and the 480p kinda ruined the game for me so i ended up selling it. Looks great at 1080p though.
I've also heard good things about Ni No Kuni, which you can get for the PS3
-
i've always loved the zelda series, but thats not an option right now, obviously.
the last rpgs i've played have been assassins creed brotherhood and final fantasy 12 and like, WoW.
come to think of it...i might just get assassins creed black flag. that sounds like a winner.

damn, FF12?
Assassin's creed games aren't RPGs. I guess every game has some RPG elements but that'd be a stretch to label it one. It's definitely action/adventure.
play the dragon age, mass effect, and witcher series. trust me on that
-
word, thanks hoss.
-
Mass Effect gets a big thumbs up from me. It's one of my favorite games ever (counting the whole series as a singular game since it's all one story).
I started the Witcher, but I've barely played it. I hate playing games on PC with the keyboard. I'll get back to it though.
I know all of the issues people have with DA2. I just don't share them.
-
word, thanks hoss.
If you think Assasain's Creed is an RPG, have you tried the Uncharted series? It has a similar style in terms of how it functions (mostly action with great storyline segments)
Final Fantasy XIII is super linear as compared to past FF installments, but I think it's pretty solid, especially since its like $15 now. Has a sequel which is solid-ish, and a third installment coming out in March which is supposed to be the best FF since 10 (and obviously until 15 blows it out of the water).
If you never played Kingdom Hearts, its worth a go as they just released the HD collection (the only game worth playing is KH 1, but still worth it)
FF X/X-2 are coming out in March as well.
Valkyria Chronicles is a decent game although not exactly a traditional RPG.
Heavy Rain and Beyond 2 Souls are action - heavy storyline games, very fun.
Also the Tales series is very good. Tales of Vesperia is great and I picked up Tales of Xillia, have yet to crack it open yet.
-

Lego Marvel isn't a next gen powerhouse graphically, but like Lego LOTR, it's more than a good game. It's a great game. I'm not sure where you got the idea it wasn't considered good. It got better reviews than Killzone, albeit obviously based on gameplay rather than graphics.

Assassins Creed isn't an RPG. Do you want an RPG or an adventure game? If you want a solid story, but not necessarily RPG, Beyond and the Last if Us fit the bill.

I didn't say it was bad. I said Legos is Legos. As In bad graphics but fun/simple games aimed at young children
Next generation madden Is bad, and one of the NBA games (live) is awful.

I was responding to "none of them are considered good games." That one is.
They're all ages. The old ones I can't play. Star Wars, Harry potter, all got a meh when I saw my nieces and nephews play them. LOTR was a huge step up, and would be fun for a lot more people than I expected. Lego Marvel is the same way. My kids love both games, but so do I.
For my money, the best game on the PS4 right now is actually FIFA. NBA 2K14 looks great, but FIFA is way better than its PS3 brethren.
-
The lack of quality launch titles is why I was in no rush to get a ps4 even though I've sold my xbox and ps3.
For now my PC can replicate or best any of the games that are currently available but i'm sure by the end of this year when the lineup gets beefed up i'll be getting one.
-

Have to agree with W1 but disagree with W2. W2 (arguably) had a better story, but the combat on PC sucked compared to W1. I have never felt as in control of a toon as I did in W1, and I played through several times with different combat setups. W2 forces your hand WAY too much, both in combat and story progression. I never bothered to finish the final area.

If you have a wired xbox controller, you can hook that up directly. If it's a wireless xbox you just need the USB receiver which is like $10-12. There's a bundle "Xbox controller for windows" that has both
There are also software that allow you to use ps3/ps4 controllers plugged into the USB. I use them for my emulated PS2/Wii games.
To be honest, I prefer the keyboard/mouse for most games.. RPGs, shooters and strategy particularly but there are some games where a gamepad is nice.

If you haven't played Fallout 3 it would be an obvious choice. You can play for 10 minutes or 10 hours at a time and switch between the storyline (which is quite good), random killing, or exploration. It's very much a sandbox game on PC, and there are hundreds of quality user created downloads to make the game last forever. The Vegas followup is far more linear, but has a great story.

you're in the minority on that I think.
I recall us having this discussion on the old board. I thought Witcher 2 was exceptionally better on all fronts, and most reviews were also universal on that. Nothing wrong with that opinion, just noting that it wasn't the consensus

I get so sidetracked in free-roam games. I would just go around to random towns in Fallout 3 and Red Dead Redemption and kill everyone.

I get completionist OCD in those games. That's why they're so addictive.
It works for awhile but then I get annoyed because certain questlines can't be finished without doing something I don't want my character to do. Some of the daedric quests in skyrim are like that and I want a choice of being able to tell them to GFY instead of carrying out whatever stupid or fucked up errand/sacrifice they want me to do
I also get annoyed when the quests have infinite loops (like bounties in red dead, or certain faction quests in skyrim)
-
Same here. Games have the ability to completely consume my life, but it takes a special game. Mass Effect, Skyrim, and the Fallout series. Also any Civilization type game. That's pretty much it.

I think I'm 25% through with Skyrim and I quit. Ain't nobody got time for that. Eventually I'll finish, but I get too wrapped up in side quests.

I've never played this game. it sounds like it's about dragon rimjobs.

I automatically avoid anything with turn-based combat.

None of those are turn based.

What makes a game an RPG then? When I think of an RPG I think of it being an electronic version of Dungeons and Dragons, which is turn-based. The South Park game that was linked earlier by Coach K was turn-based.

Turn based RPGs were the original RPGs, but that style has largely evarporated. That was the dominant form of many RPGs especially JRPGs but most Western RPGs are action RPGs. There is some revival and the south park game is a bit nostalgic in that sense, but most combat is action based now. Even the more traditional JRPGs have "action meters" than typical take a turn and do this to make it more fast paced.
Not a single RPG in this thread I mentioned today is turn based.
There are ton of sub genres of RPGs, but basically anything with role playing elements. Typically involves leveling, acquiring new gear/skills, character customization and some type of fantasy (or sci fi) lore. Those are all the basic foundations of RPG but there are a ton of variations within the genre. Even Borderlands is heavily RPG influenced within a shooting game

Skyrim if you're more of a casual player, the legendary edition is on steam and you can mod the excrement out of it.
Dark souls if you really want a satisfying challenge of a game. The lore is very deep with the souls series you just have to do a lot of digging for it.

The way the combinations worked in W1 were incredible. Combat was so incredibly fluid. The way you could combine massive sword combinations with movement and spells blew me away from the first time I played the demo. I found the W2 combat system and skills progression to be incredibly clunky and boring.
Crafting was hands down better in W1. Once you learned the system, making your swords to fit your playstyle was incredibly intuitive and rewarding.
For story and cut scenes, W2 does win. It's a much larger story, but I never felt as involved as I did with W1.

I tried using my wired Xbox controller and it doesn't work with Witcher without a hack and even then from what I read it's not very useful. The way the first game was designed was catered to a keyboard/mouse setup.

The Last of Us is a great game by all accounts. I haven't played it, but my oldest did. The Lego LotR and Marvel games are great. I enjoy them all, but the older ones (Batman-though 2 was improved, Pirates of the Carribean) were more children-oriented. My oldest also loved the Walking Dead game (the chapters one, I'm not certain of the name).
I just started Kingdoms of Amalur (the game made by Curt Schilling that almost bancrupted Rhode Island). It's a little bit clunky but I've heard good things about it.
The last game I finished was Batman: Arkham Origins. The Batman: Arkham games are very much like the action-RPG style games. If you like Batman, I'd suggest them. Many people had issues with the story length of Batman: Arkham City (the second title) but it's pretty fun to randomly beat the pee out of thugs on the street. It's better in Origins though. The story in Asylum (the first one) was fantastic.
-
^ I enjoyed KoA. Way more linear then Skyrim (as to be expected), but a solid game that I was able to play through and not get sick of.
I picked up sleeping dogs for free off the xbl sale. not bad especially for the price of on the house. Gonna wait on the new Batman until they bundle it with all the DLC like I did for Arkham City (which was freaking sick btw).
GTA V online is still awesome two months later.
Seriously for any gamer who's bored, looking for a game and hasn't played Skyrim, stop what you're doing this instant and devote the next 10 hours to getting started. Like all those Bethesda games, the biggest pain in the derriere is starting out.
-
KoA is okay so far. I played the demo years ago when it gave a special armor to Shepard in Mass Effect. I'm just slightly ahead of where that left off after completely restarting. I may never play Skyrim. I tried out Morrowind years ago and hated it. My kids like those games though.
I got the Season Pass for Arkham Origins so it gets everything as they become available. The one thing that irritates me is that I couldn't change my costume before playing all the way through. I rarely replay a game, so it was a downer that I couldn't use all the additional batsuits.
Speaking of XBL, I just saw Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light is the current XBox Games with Gold freebie.
I just remembered another action-rpg hybrid franchise I absolutely loved: Darksiders I & II. In both of them you get to play as one of the 4 Horsemen post-apocalypse. The puzzles are sometimes challenging, but both games were craptons of fun, especially once you acquire more powers. I'm really hoping the company that bought the franchise when THQ tanked makes the rest.

Darksiders is like god of war.....more action adventurey than RPG

Darksiders is like god of war.....more action adventurey than RPG
I hated the camera in God of War so I never made it too far into the first one. Darksiders is a fun romp with a cool RPG-esque powerup system, but yeah, it's definitely more action-adventure than RPG.

Now I'm interested, I love the GOW series.

The teams were truly seperate, so one game had nothing to do with the other. Interestingly, on sort of that same topic, Mass Effect 2 was actually rushed by EA. I didn't have a problem with that game either. DA2 was fun with its time-spanning scope. It covered years of your character's history and I liked growing with a couple of the characters.
Anyway, my understanding is that when Inquisition comes out, you'll be able to actually create a save file by answering key plot questions that popped up in the previous games. Bioware is trying to let people feel the entire DA:I experience whether they've played through the previous games or not.
DA2 was admittingly rushed by Bioware (they said that is why they're taking a longer development cycle for Inquisition) and it was an attempt to appeal to a "wider" audience so they dumbed down the RPG elements. THank god they realied what a mistake that was
The use of the dialog wheel sucked, so did forcing you to be human and the inability to use custom armor on party members. The biggest complaint by everyone was obviously the reused environments. That was just so blatantly lazy it was offensive.
Also the templar vs mages things wasn't interesting enough to be the focal point of the story. The main antagonist was lame also. The Kunark guy was cool but he wasn't the main guy.
It wasn't a bad game but everyone including bioware knows they screwed up on that one.
i just got back on since my last post in here and JFIF pretty much sums up my potential reply.
you can say the teams are separate, and that may be true. it doesnt mean that resources arent rearranged in the studio to accomodate other projects that takes away focus from DA2.
and the numerous reasons JFIF listed that are just blatant proof the project as a whole was rushed.
im not trying to dump on the franchise cause like i said i put over 120 hours into the first one. but within a few hours of the second one, i had a sour taste in my mouth.
it was like DA for Dummies.
which is fine if you want to streamline combat, not alot of people are into the tactical stuff. but I even play tactical RPG's which are the equivalent of chess on steroids.
thats not what bothered me it was just as a whole the presentation was not there.
either way, DA: Inquisition looks like a great redemption project for them. with the Frostbite 2 engine at their disposal, theres no excuses for them to not produce a engaging enviroment that makes you feel as if the world lore has actual weight.
which is what the first one did masterfully, and the second one excrement the bed on.
-
i've always loved the zelda series, but thats not an option right now, obviously.
the last rpgs i've played have been assassins creed brotherhood and final fantasy 12 and like, WoW.
come to think of it...i might just get assassins creed black flag. that sounds like a winner.
assassins creed black flag is more like a slightly dumbed down version of Sid Meiers Pirates! more than anything else.
which is a good thing, i have it on PS4 and it pretty much looks like a PC game .
Tales of Xillia is a good RPG on PS3. im trying to beat the post game dungeon boss now, who is an absolute poopchute.
theres alot of good games it just depends on your preference.
-
What makes a game an RPG then? When I think of an RPG I think of it being an electronic version of Dungeons and Dragons, which is turn-based. The South Park game that was linked earlier by Coach K was turn-based.
JFIF pretty much described it to a tee.
the only two hallmark traits that apply to anything in the realm of RPG games are
-a story centric game
-character development.
there used to be more formulaic traits but the line blurred a long time ago, and for the better.
JRPG's set the standard and were the standard from the late 80's up until the 2000's when Western gaming companies started throwing money into their own RPG's that were more D&D influenced.
now most games are a hybrid of the two with character customization, strategy and action blended into battle systems.
im still nostalgic for good turn based games because they often require more strategy IMO. also being a collector of the genre I'll never tire of the old formula as long as its executed perfectly.
JE, I remember I posted the gameplay video of The Division for you. which is pretty much a modern day RPG.
you said "id buy a PS4 just for this"
and i still claim its the best looking game ive ever seen potential wise.

The story centric thing doesn't necessarily apply. It's why I didn't include it. Look at Demon/Dark Souls....both those games have vast lore but none of it is explained, and there is very little in terms of story.
Still great games though

i still stand by my statement cause traditionally that is the case with 99.9 percent of them.
1 series and 2 titles (1 coming) are moreso an anamoly than anything else.
i wouldnt really consider them true RPG's. theyre basically just dungeon crawlers on roids.
lack of story being the reason , thats my opinion.
i only played Dark Souls a little, wasnt really my thing. seems like itd be awesome online with a friend but too linear for me.
i do like how the combat system is brutally onforgiving, good for alot of people who complain about games being too easy.

Would you describe series like Uncharted, Resident Evil and God Of War as RPGs?
-
Would you describe series like Uncharted, Resident Evil and God Of War as RPGs?
To speak for Coach...
using his criteria of a major story component and character development
Uncharted would fail under the character development criteria, as Drake is as good as he will get from moment one.
God of War probably would be an RPG as you can strengthen Kratos' weapons and develop new abilities.
Resident Evil games i don't play so I'm not sure if there is a sort of leveling metric involved.
All 3 would primarily be classified as Action-Adventure games first either way.
-
Would you describe series like Uncharted, Resident Evil and God Of War as RPGs?
Absolutely not
Tons of games have added rpg elements (ie resident evil where you get skill points) but those things are usually secondary.
They have rpg elements which have very little impact on the core gameplay, and are kinda there just to make their stagnant formulas seem inventive.
A real RPG game is where leveling/skilling up/looting items/gear is core to the gameplay.
I mean theres a game like Assassins creed 4 where you can buy a few weapons and increase your health but the impact is virtually meaningless.
Where as a true RPG like dark souls, disgaea, final fantasy etc the leveling/customization really makes up the core of the game. Truthfully gaming is just in an era where everything is so blended/mixed together that every game heavily has elements between multiple genres. But overall most games are just shitty recycled shooters.
-
Right, those are absolutely not RPGs.
If you're going to classify any game with minor RPG elements, you'd be calling every single game an RPG. Every game now (including Call of Duty and Battlefield) incorporate some minor form of leveling or whatever in their games, but like you said DCM, those are entirely secondary.
Games you can call "Action RPGs" are typically equally as much RPG as they are action, and that's why they get classified as so. God of war is not an RPG Lol. That's about as action/adventurey as you can get.
-
I only really consider open ended games as RPGs.
-
I only really consider open ended games as RPGs.
The open ended part has only become a more common aspect in the last 10 or 15 years.
Which is probably the biggest contribution that Western RPGs have made to the genre.
JRPGs wrote the rule book and set the bar, Western companies innovated and tend to focus on action over strategy because the preferences of Japanese vs American gamers are polar opposites on the average

First off even in HD , YouTube compresses video.
The graphics on the game are insane. I've seen uncompressed 1080p footage and most of the gameplay looks better than most games cinematics.
But the game isn't even out in Japan yet.
My guess is it hits here late this year and a bit more polished than it is now.
Its an acquired taste. The combat is ultra realistic , as far as doing different rates of damage according to which body part you hit
I never got into Demon/Dark Souls cause I didn't have anyone to play with.
I will definitely be playing this

Still get use of my PS3 but I missed out on The Last Of Us
Ironically I was super hyped about but I was strapped for cash at time of release. I saw some multiplayer online footage.
So I caved an just bought it on Amazon. Should be here by 24th.
It looks like its about a 20 hour game buy looks like one of those amazing gaming experiences ie Heavy Rain.
Is that an accurate assessment?
I bought it new so I don't have to pay for an online pass in case I get hooked on that
Just looking to fill spare time till the Destiny beta and South Park Stick Of Truth

Can't remember how long my initial playthrough of TLOU was, but I would guess 25-30 hours. Probably put at least another 10-15 hours in online until my internet started to lag like a mother fucker. I enjoyed multiplayer immensely for LOU

Not sure I'd consider it an amazing gaming experience, if you're just there for the story and scenery then sure, but for me the game play was way to repetitive and there was practically no balance to any mechanics.
I did enjoy it but then again I mostly just played it to see if it lived up to the hype and for me it did not.

it wasn't made to be backwards compatible. the systems never are.
BUT....Sony is rolling out this crazy streaming service called playstation now where you can stream and play PSP/Vita/PS1/2/3 games on almost any device. I have no idea how that would actually work, but apparently it will. So it'll kill the whole backwards compatibility thing

Never heard of the company but Bound By Flame is an interesting looking action RPG.
Its a 20 to 25 hour game but boasts replay value. The premise of the game is the world is taken over by Ice Demons and in a botched effort to get supernatural powers your character is posessed by a
fire demon.
You either quest to save your humanity or become more demonic based on actions and such.
Multiple endings .
From a small studio , they've already said were not Switcher 3 or Sky rim. Basically no open world just a great open ended experience telling a story

the only book and dice RPGs I knew were because my older brother played them. D&D and Robotech. By the time I was old enough to understand them video game RPGs were taking off .

I was I had time to venture out more. I still play the same games every year, although I throughly enjoy them. (Madden, COD, MLB the Show)
Every now and then I'll buy a game like Assassin's Creed, The Last of Us, or my favorite...Uncharted.

Nah I just realized, I had somehow confused it with Shadowrun
The old cyberpunk RPG on SNES
Hahaha either way that game looks good even though I never heard of it ROFL
I've never played a pen n paper RPG in my life.
-
On an unrelated note about w game I couldn't confuse with anything else, I'm getting the Dragonball Z:Battle Of Z game.
Played the demo n its the first game that felt like controlling an actual fight in the show.
You can find a translated ROM for sure. I haven't played it since the late 90s but I remember it being ahead of its time n wishing it got an update lol
For JFIF, there's an actual old school dragonball z JRPG for Nintendo

But yeah I was totally convinced it was Shadowrun I disappointed myself with my own confusion
But I'm still excited. The new Deus Ex didn't satisfy my cyberpunk lust.
Shadowrun reminded me of a Blade Runner RPG .
Whether or not I was wrong I'm sold on CD Projekt RED doing a cyberpunk RPG

As much as I wanted to snag a PS4, I am waiting until games actually come out for it that I will play with considerable regularity. Also when games that I really want stop being PS3 only releases. Like FFX/X-2, Stick of Truth (how can that not be PS4/Xbone I dont get), Lightning Returns, KH 2.5 HD collection are all set to come out in the next year as past gen (or is it still current gen?) systems.
-

I think it'll play a tad bit more like Kingdoms of Amalur
Its an action RPG not a action sandbox game.
Honestly I didn't like Infamous that much. It was fun when PS3 launched but the game doesn't hold up well at all as time passes.
Now Infamous Second Son?
I'm prolly gonna per order it today when I go to ask if Stick Of Truth is gonna meet its street date.

I have my PS4 and PS3 going almost all the time.
Most of my PS4 time has been spent on Warframe, Madden, AC4, and now Don't Starve.
Warframe is free. Ppl complain about the F2P build of it but I joined a clan and were always in party chat laughing our asses off. We became top 3 in kills with a lot of us not spending a penny. Some people think its shitty. I think its awesome for a free game. 3rd person MMO cyber Ninja action? What is not badass about that?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2RR6KBlcs8&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Don't Starve is a brutal, brutal, addictive Survival game. Only way I can describe it. Each time I play it makes me rethink how I approach the game entirely.
You have 3 meters. Hunger, health, and Sanity.
Between collecting resources fending off wolves at night, trying to build a base camp, and a plethora of other worries. This game keeps you on your toes.
Oh and once you hit day 22? Winter comes. Then all bets are off . 25 days is my record.
The art style is eclectic and cartoony.
Madden is about an 8 or 8.25 overall. One thing I will say it hasn't gotten enough credit for is how realistic the AI is. Especially in the trenches guys actually USD their hands n fight for positioning and adapt to your play.
Solid football game that's not perfect but a great start for next gen AI n physics.
AC4 was fun multiplayer was crazy. I just traded it in to payoff the new DBZ game though

It might not, its a very niche game. I don't think they printed enough copies for it to get super cheap.
Although I swear I saw it on PSN for 20 something bucks
I per ordered it n everything lol have a collectors art book that came with it for free
I just traded it in to my local GameStop cause I'm tight on cash and want to get some games coming out.
Its worth keeping but I dominated that game lol. Plus I got it mostly to play with a friend we both dumped countless hours into it and now I wouldn't have a use to play it except couch co op .
Still an awesome game. If you liked Golden Axe or the old D&D arcade games. Its up your alley.
There's a Diablo esque sense of addiction to finding better loot n gear .
I had like 10 different equipment sets for long sessions.
There's a risk/ reward system to continue .
Great art design too.

The crowned jewel of my collection is a sealed Ni No Kuni Wizards Edition.
Made even more rare by Digital River (Namco Bandais distributor) freaking up n cancelling most of the pre orders.
At one point I could've sold it for 600 bucks. Lol..
I also have Suikoden 2 on ps1 which is pretty rare. Complete case manual art n everything. Not sealed I still need to finish my last play through.
The disc alone in a generic jewel case goes for 90-150

So I bought a new laptop and decided to get a few games for it. Been meaning to play shogun total war and Rome 2 total war obviously. Found out that in order to play either I have to DL nearly the entire game on steam. Wtf? All the DVDs contain are steam installation files.
Why aren't PC games released on bluray so I don't have to wait fuckn hours for the damn things to install? I guess a lot has changed since the last time I played a PC game. Fuckn A.

Those games are gonna run like excrement on a laptop. Even if it's a so called gaming laptop. If it's a regular laptop id be shocked if they ran at all.
And steam kicks derriere. Digital distrubtion is why you get games dirt cheap on steam (during sales )

So I bought a new laptop and decided to get a few games for it. Been meaning to play shogun total war and Rome 2 total war obviously. Found out that in order to play either I have to DL nearly the entire game on steam. Wtf? All the DVDs contain are steam installation files.
Why aren't PC games released on bluray so I don't have to wait fuckn hours for the damn things to install? I guess a lot has changed since the last time I played a PC game. Fuckn A.
Doesn't matter what games are updated on. They always get huge updates that need to get updated anyway.
Fun fact my gaming pc doesn't even have a working cd/dvd drive
-
Those games are gonna run like excrement on a laptop. Even if it's a so called gaming laptop. If it's a regular laptop id be shocked if they ran at all.
And steam kicks derriere. Digital distrubtion is why you get games dirt cheap on steam (during sales )
8 hours ? Are you on dial up
Actually I'm running shogun 2 on full everything, muthafucka. I only like strategy games anyway. Doubt I'll be playing much else on this thing.

get the new civ 5 expansions. i've probably logged more hours into that game than any other the past year
Xcom Enemy Unknown and Enemy Within are also great strategy games worth picking up
-
Man I ain't touching anymore games. I already wasted my entire weekend playing this. And I'm still not done.

Playing shogun 2?
-
Yeah. I love strategy games, especially turn based. I remember playing and beating tropics in one 12 hour marathon play through.

X com Enemy unknown.
JFIF suggested it but I'd your that into strategy is say go for it
-
Yeah Xcom enemy unknown kicks derriere.
It's turn based strategy where you command a group of soldiers on different grid based maps. You have 4-6 soldiers at any given time but you have a home base in between missions where you build facilities, research equipment and technology, can build mechanized infantry units and manage the "council" which is basically the countries in your support system. You have to manage the panic/ alien threat otherwise they leave the council and you lose out on their cash bonuses and contributions.
Your soldiers get experience and level up in rank based on missions and kills. If they die in a mission they're dead forever, which is cool in a way but it sucks to lose a badass captain or major because you missed an 88% chance to hit shot. Your soldiers get new perks and skills and you can give them advanced weapons, armor and items when you research the right technology. You have to manage your resources correctly to keep up with the aliens and their firepower so it's a pretty neat arms race
Most missions are just "go and kill the aliens" but there are some escort missions , hostage rescue missions, bomb disabling and UFO infiltration missions also.
It's one of the best games I've played in the last year and a half
-
I believe Xcom enemy unknown was very recently(or still is i think) free on ps3 with psn plus.
Its not bad, just not my kind of game.
Id prefer something more like fftactics/ogre tactics/disgaea which have way more rpg elements

Record Of Agarest War.
Its like FF Tactics on roids. The stories don't compare but intensity if combat and layers of strategy they do for sure.
It has one of those affection system things most niche JP games do.
The story spans Five Generations. At the end of the first chapter you select a Female party member as a bride n the next gen starts off with their kid.
Its actually crazy in depth.
Also one of the most unforgiving games as far as missables go.
I miraculously got the "True Ending" on my first play through.
There's also a prequel and sequel to it
Most reviews score it between 6.5 and 8
But as far as turn based SRPGs it was like all the old school ones on roads with an anime art style

Got it on ps3, I found it incredibly easy though. Got bored like halfway through, dont remember it having even close to the amount of customization that tactics had, except with the whole hero baby making thing

You can create their moves in their attack slots through alchemy.
The game gets much harder as you advance.
The boss fight is no joke.
Especially if your going for overkill (you essentially need to link a combo together to do damage past when his HP hits zero to the full amount of his HP
That fight was insanity. Around Generation. 4 is when it ramps up.

Ill have to check it out again when I get some more time.
I sadly bought a vita and 3ds on bf cheap since they get all the good rpgs these days (plus it made sense to get a vita since I get a excrement ton of vita games for free from having psp plus) so when i actually have a chance to play something its usually one of those.
Gotta give nintendo credit the new Zelda game they made is pretty amazing. It pays hardcore homage to the snes zelda, which imo is one of the greatest games of all time. (they actually use the same world/story from that game for this one)

freak Zelda , I'd be on that Fire Emblem: Awakening.
Which is essentially Tactics Ogre with the Record of Agarest war child system.
That game looks so awesome I thought about saving for a 3ds XL.
Yeah bout 75% of new RPGs have been handheld.
Even the 3ds XL is small too me though.
I have bear paws so the controls alone are enough to cramp my hands after a while

Anyone getting Elder Scrolls online?

That is the free game of the month on PS4 for Feb. Between this and Don't Starve in JAN you really get your bang for your buck if your into figuring out how to survive in a brutal wilderness or investigating a shut down insane asylum filled with MKUltra Nazi scientist test subjects lol
Seriously though this might be the "scariest" game I've seen
-
Still playing Wartune. F2P (more like P2W) turn based MMO equipment grinder. I'm not sure exactly why, but it keeps me coming back day after day.

Which platform
PC. I didn't think it was going to be cross platform.
I have a co-worker who beta tested, and he said it was fly.

It won't be cross platform, but it will come our on Xbox and Playstation as well as pc.
I think the pc one comes out significantly ahead of the others though

Cato works for Bethesda. Ask him.

PC comes out end of April
Consoles end of June.
IM getting the PS4 version I know more ppl on PSN. IM racing making a Guild lol.
My friend has 24/7 beta access not just the random weekends they do.
I've been waiting a decade to get beck into an MMO and IM psyched for it

I wanted to get it, but it comes out like same week as Diablo expansion.
Also mmo and consoles is a match made to fail
And it comes to pc April 4th, with early access (from pre-order) end of March

I really don't see the issue with having the game on consoles.
Especially with the next gen.
My friend is super picky when it comes to games . He's giving a pretty damn good opinion of ESP.
I think it lives up to the hype.
Each platform has it's own mega server, your typical MMO launch bugs are to be expected but it looks like the most polished MMO to date. Aside from WoW which has had a decade to grow.
I also prefer console not only cause I don't have a gaming PC
But I like the fact that the console launch is 3 months later.
The console version should be including the first major PC patch right out of the box.
Should mean a smoother launch once they deal with the initial rush of PC gamers n iron out the inevitable launch bugs
One thing I will say is I thought the Elder Scrolls skill and class trees weren't versatile enough to support MMO play.
They overhauled everything.
All will say is the level of depth and versatility in char development is mind blowing . To the point you might get ADD just by creating your character.

There are no successful console MMO's. They dont exist (as successes), they dont work, they never will.
Look at FFXIV on ps3/ps4 vs pc. The ps3/ps4 people cant target, cant communicate well, they cant do anything remotely as good as the pc people. Of course that is cross platform, which is where the major problems come into play (having console people competing vs pc people)
MMOs are social games all about community and group content, without MOST console gamers having keyboards and the ability to easily communicate it significantly hampers the MMO experience.
ESO is a long shot to be a success on the PC, the overwhelming majority of people think it goes free to play in under a year, and probably dies shortly after.
I think ESO likely ends up following in the recent star wars mmos football and fails epicly. Its just not designed the right way, wont cater to the hardcore mmo fans at all, and casuals dont pay 15$ a month very long.

wrong, DCU is pretty strong
However I do agree that MMOs are vastly superior on PC.
I hate MMOs because of the time commitment involved to excel. Everquest was a good 2 years of my life and ever since then I vowed not to touch them.
-

That's why it's being developed by ZeniMax and only published BY Bethesda.
But you'll have to change your time when Bethesda breaks ground on the Fallout MMO.
You have nothing to worry about. So many good games between now and 2015 not enough time in the world . You'll have a ton of good games to choose from
-
I never play online because I'd rather play a game at my pace, not compete with thousands of others who have way more time than I do to get better.

There's so much I disagree with, where so I start.
I hope you know FF14 is so successful it's the only reason Square Enix turned a profit this year.
They lost like 500 billion yen in 2012 and ended 2013 fiscal year 700 billion yen in the black with only a few months of FF14 on the books.
They lost a ton of subscribers cause of a buggy launch (say hello to.every MMO ever)
They also regained said insensitivity in DEC by offering a free weekend after the first major patch. They're adding content for the community at a regular clip and the sub base will only go up once it releases on PS4
They are in no danger of going free to play as long as they add new content.
Now onto ESO. Your out of your mind if you think this game doesn't cater to the hardcore. In fact I'd argue the game doesn't cater to the casual. People who've never played an MMO
A) expect multiplayer Skyrim. Which will be a comparison that hurts this game instead of helping it. It's an apples an oranges comparison. This game is for the hardcore gamer ES fan who's open to a new MMO.
That fact in itself narrows potential customers but weeds out little kids and ppl who just started ES with Skyrim as opposed to their earlier entries. MMO is in it's own genre for a reason because there simply is nothing like them.
B) The subscription issue.
I hate F2P . I can't stress this enough. Mobile gaming is to blame for clone after clone,.a lack of originality, and these pay to win in game shops. I believe the game suffers and the community suffers cause it opens the floodgates to developers cutting corners only to offer minimal throwaway content locked behind a pay wall and pawned off as an "update"
The only people who complain about MMOs are people who just aren't a fan if the genre, @and people who are afraid of losing themselves in the game cause it's right up their alley.
Both of those major critiques and potential pitfalls that ESO faces are.only relevant to the casual gamer and/or people who are new to MMOs that expect something they shouldn't.
Translation: ESO is catering to hardcore gamers. You don't have a sub fee otherwise.
Your other point about mouse and keyboard? IM almost sure they said they plan on having mouse and keyboard functionality on console.
Literally the only worry I have about this game is mapping the UI in the controller. Which I got used to amazingly fast when DCUO launched.
In fact IM as hardcore as it gets when it comes to MMOs.
I quit WoW back in 04 just cause it was too addictive at the time lol.
I paid the sub fee and was a customer of DCUO at launch. I quit when it became free to play for the previous reasons mentioned.
In the end ESO may face the same fate as The Old Republic or DCUO
Still doesn't change the fact it appears to be the best MMO to date. At least with what IM looking for.
The kids and ppl who thought they're getting Skyrim 2.0 either refuse to pay a sub fee or will tap out when they figure out it's an MMO as advertised lol.
Either way I plan on dumping hours into it and have had no trouble getting hardcore gamers to commit to a guild months in advance on PS4
PC will dwarf console on top of that.
The only game on earth that will but into my play time is The Division who,h won't see the light of day till 2015.
Everything else on my radar are amazing single player can games i can play a hour or two a day when IM not playing ESO.
Oh and DCUO is immensely popular on console.
So even if ESO has to adopt that model say a year after launch? Certainly doesn't mean it will die.
For all the wannabe critics with their YouTube channel schticks try to rail against this game, I hear the total opposite from beta testers with 24/7 access to developers servers . Not these weekend beta windows that serve as stress tests.
I was on the fence a few months ago but the one running theme I hear from it's detractors and supporters alike?
The game gets markedly Better each month. Which makes a better case for it to survive the F2P route with FF14
It all comes down to them offering post end game content.
If they can do it at a regular pace? They will be absolutely fine. If not, prolly F2P in a year.
The only MMO that looks to rival it is Everquest Next . Which again won't see the light of day till late 2015, maybe even 16.
Someone might argue Wildstar which is a slightly more open ended WoW clone.
They're still 7.8 million subscribers strong with a coming increase with another expansion.
They will be F2P eventually simply because the game screams IM 10 Years Old!
It's Blizzard so they were able to keep the content coming this long.
Either way /rant

I won't debate the PC thing cause it's a fact.
That is if you have a beast of a rig.
PC always has a higher ceiling for games.
I honestly feel I meet better ppl on PSN. I find the PC Master Race ppl to be jaded and spoiled by the modding community.
If something isn't perfect they birch to high hell and move onto the next game they'll eventually never play again in a month.
That's just my experience though
-
I never play online because I'd rather play a game at my pace, not compete with thousands of others who have way more time than I do to get better.
yeah exactly.
I'm too competitive to allow myself just to suck, so I rather not bother knowing I can't commit the time.
When I played Everquest, I had the most decked out/powerful character class on the server and pretty much ran the most powerful guild on it. When I played FPS, i was one of the best ranked Quake 2 and Counterstrike players in the world. But that was in high school when i had nothing but time.
I avoid MMORPGs in any form and most FPS (unless they have a good single player mode) specifically because of that. Never got into the whole call of duty or battlefield craze, even though i know a ton of people who have.
When they act shocked I don't play or aren't into them I kind of roll my eyes because pretty much none of them had touched a FPS until those games.
-
I never play online because I'd rather play a game at my pace, not compete with thousands of others who have way more time than I do to get better.
I spend most if my time laughing my derriere off than anything just from BS ng with ppl.
Especially since a few of my best friends live on the other side of the country so this will serve as two birds one stone aside from the occasional times we get to chill anymore
IM nerd enough to grind for stuff in these types if games but I at least remain social and have fun doing it.
Some of the people on here have the personality of a paper weight. It's slightly disturbing at times the excrement you hear
Then it turns into electronic people watching lolp

Either way I plan on dumping hours into it and have had no trouble getting hardcore gamers to commit to a guild months in advance on PS4
PC will dwarf console on top of that.
The only game on earth that will but into my play time is The Division who,h won't see the light of day till 2015.
Everything else on my radar are amazing single player can games i can play a hour or two a day when IM not playing ESO.
Oh and DCUO is immensely popular on console.
So even if ESO has to adopt that model say a year after launch? Certainly doesn't mean it will die.
For all the wannabe critics with their YouTube channel schticks try to rail against this game, I hear the total opposite from beta testers with 24/7 access to developers servers . Not these weekend beta windows that serve as stress tests.
I was on the fence a few months ago but the one running theme I hear from it's detractors and supporters alike?
The game gets markedly Better each month. Which makes a better case for it to survive the F2P route with FF14
It all comes down to them offering post end game content.
If they can do it at a regular pace? They will be absolutely fine. If not, prolly F2P in a year.
The only MMO that looks to rival it is Everquest Next . Which again won't see the light of day till late 2015, maybe even 16.
Someone might argue Wildstar which is a slightly more open ended WoW clone.
They're still 7.8 million subscribers strong with a coming increase with another expansion.
They will be F2P eventually simply because the game screams IM 10 Years Old!
It's Blizzard so they were able to keep the content coming this long.
Either way /rant
damn this post is way too long
But for starters way more people playing FFXIV on PC than on consoles.
I played FFXIV (both originally,and the relaunch) and console users played far last and quit far faster. They have exponentially more of a difficult time with targeting, and since consoles werent made for keyboards dont really keep up and get as involved socially which kinda ruins an mmo experience for them.
And ive NEVER EVER played any MMO EVER which even came remotely close to being as buggy as FFXIV (which launched TWICE,and the second time was far worse than the first... WITH THE EXACT SAME BUGS from 2 years prior)
ESO doesnt cater to the harccore. Not by a long shot. Look at the skill bars and talent trees from ESO and compare them to Vanilla Wow or any of the other mmos. The game is catered to playing on a console remote, which is why youre limited to like 6 skills. Where real mmos (ie wow) players have 20-30 skills on their screen and mods all over.
The game is incredibly simplified.
I hate free to play. Im not arguing with that. Im saying ESO will end up free to play in the very near future because it fails with a subscription model.
And as soon as it adapts to the F2P model doesnt mean it "died" it means it failed. Because only shitty failure mmos end up going f2p in less than a year.
Like SWTOR, Age Of Conan, and any other drivel that comes out with a sub and has to change its entire model almost immediately.
At least when Guild Wars came out it was free to play off the bat, as that was their plan for many years.
Wildstar looks far more exciting than ESO, but I still dont know if theres anything special there.
Theres too much in your post to go over it all, and im just tired
-
wrong, DCU is pretty strong
However I do agree that MMOs are vastly superior on PC.
I hate MMOs because of the time commitment involved to excel. Everquest was a good 2 years of my life and ever since then I vowed not to touch them.
DCU went free to play in under a year...
And the game was far more successful on the PC than on consoles.
Also they kind of significantly changed that oldschool graindy model of MMOs like Vanilla Wow and Everquest
Now a days games cater to the casual significantly, which is why hardcores dont find themselves playing them nearly as long as they used to.

You can click on the link and you wont see like porn or get your identity stolen.
Though its more of a joke game than anything serious

IM interested but I never got into LoU only cause I have so many games right now I don't have the time to get into it.
IM ultimately just gonna wait for a game of the year edition with all the dlc

So pumped Stick of Truth has gone gold, and no more delays are coming
I tried telling others delays went out the window a like 6 weeks ago when it was issued a street date
Btw , where's my backup on the console MMO argument. I see you on FF14 lol
Jk, IM curious when the PS4 beta starts next week will I be able to link up with you?
I know it's cross platform but I dunno if they're gonna let the PS4 beta players on the main servers

That I don't know. I hope so though. I've actually enjoyed FF XIV to an extent, there are some targeting issues, and it is an absolute pain in the derriere to communicate with other people without a keyboard/headset combo. I do enjoy it for the most part, but it is the first MMO I have played, so I have no comparison to how things function by comparison.

PS4 allows all that.
Party chat being the most important.
I'll be getting ESO for various other reasons but plan on playing the Beta for FF14 on PS4

jump on in, it's mostly a good time. Although there are a bunch of random "story" missions that just drag the hell out of the story. But I suppose it has been mostly interesting, not that you play MMO's for the storyline anyways.

Yeah I played the ps3 beta and liked it. DCMs.and your point about communication being rough are legit on PS3
But IM in party chat 90 percent of the time on PS4 so IM gold lol.

remember too ffxiv is cross platform.
Which means the ps3/ps4 people are playing with pc users. Heck many console players ALSO play on the pc (since one sub covers you for both)
A huge part of the community for ffxiv comes from the pc. Since these people actually have keyboards. And ffxiv also came out several years ago (pc only) so a large segment of the new community is carry over from that game.
You put an mmo on a console, and its going to have a hurting social aspect.
Voice chat is great if you wanna play with a few friends of yours, but it doesnt work for the game overall. You cant just have any player who is near each other talking with each other via voice. Otherwise youll just have a crap ton of noise and people blaring music and the typical excrement you deal with when playing online on consoles.
I think the chances of success are very slim.
Ill play ESO just because it appears unique, and ive always wished theyd make a multiplayer elder scrolls game. But I think they wouldve been better off just making it a multiplayer elderscrolls game rather than an mmo.
I have a feeling this failure will make them reluctant to ever make a mulitplayer scrolls game in the future
-
so much good dialog in that preview.
best was when cartman was explaining to clyde how the game is turn based haha...
anyone notice the skyrim(like) music in the background during that scene? obv tried to emulate it as much as possible without directly ripping it off
The shouts and screams are very Skyrim lol.
I dunno if you noticed but the music in the Giggling Donkey trailer, when they're in the basement.
Very very Diablo like. I started having Deccard Cain flashbacks lol
-
Has anyone seen the trailer for Theif? I was putting on Netflix for my little guy the other night and I caught a panel for the trailer. I figured I'd check it out. For the next few minutes both me and my 6-year-old were like "Whoaaaaaa"

I've been playing Resident Evil for XB1. Its pretty good.
Titanfall beta was fun too

So is everyone who purchased the XBone happy thus far? Ours is seeing a fairly good amount of play with none of the issues that we'd heard others had encountered.
Some of the software is glitchy, but hardware has been great.

No game pissed me off more than RE back in the day. If you give me a gun I'm going to use it. Don't make me horde my bullets and make me go back 3 saves just because I was supposed to use my knife. What an abortion of a game.
Maybe the only time the movies were better than the game?
(and the movies were pretty bad)

They abandoned that approach years ago.
And if they gave you all the bullets in the world it wouldve ended up being no different from every other shooter ever (except that its 3rd person)

You made my point. Scary. They abandoned what made me abandon the franchise forever ago.
If there is a bunch of crazy undead excrement and all you have is a knife, and no training whatsoever... Shortest story ever.

Resident Evil is pretty much my favourite series ever, but it has gone progressively downhill. I have RE6 sitting on my table downstairs waiting to be played, but I still haven't got round to it.

That was one of the elements I most appreciated about the game. Having to conserve your ammo added to the nerve-racking atmosphere.

People absolutely loved Resident Evil 5
Theres been a ton of excrement ones recently though
6 included

1-3 were great, 4 had its issues and 5 was a dog. 6 was really badly reviewed. Where they lost me was with the spinoffs that convoluted the story completely.

I'm an idiot. I said I've been playing Resident Evil for XB1 and I meant to say Tomb Raider.

Tomb Raider was awesome though.

That is survival horror at its root. That's what makes those games awesome, and scary. Because your resources are limited and you have to choose when to fight and when to run. It increases the tension and makes every shot count.
Dead Space(the first one) was also great.
One game that was AMAZING back in the day, was Eternal Darkness for the game cube. That game had a "sanity" meter where basically you started seeing excrement on the screen, and the game would freak you with. It'd tell you your controller was disconnected, or that the game turned off. Or you'd walk into a room that had a bunch of monsters that weren't really there and you'd think you were dead when you weren't.
-

Yes, 1-3 were great. however Veronica/Code zero were pretty good. Resident Evil Revelations (the one on the ship...originally made for 3DS but rereleased for console/PC) is the closest thing to the older games.
However Capcom stated their next resident evil will be very much like the originals and they want to bring the true essence of the genre back
-
I tried to play RE years ago and hated it. I'm not into horror anyway, so it wasn't shocking, but the gameplay just didn't appeal to me either.
I love the movies though. I have a box set of all of them and I'll watch them whenever I accidentally come across them on TV.
-
That was one of the elements I most appreciated about the game. Having to conserve your ammo added to the nerve-racking atmosphere.
See, that's just not the way I like to play games. Making me try 100 times to kill something with a knife because I need the ammo for the next baddie, only to realize I needed to kill said baddie with a knife because I REALLY needed the ammo for uber baddie. Lazy design in my opinion.
Conservation of ammo is one thing, and I have no problem with it. But having to replay through an hour of the game because you don't have 2 more bullets is retarded.

you're missing the point. it means you have to run from certain battles....make every shot count (headshots), and try to find as much ammo as possible.
i rarely had issues running completely out of ammo because i'd either run where i had a chance and come back when i found more ammo, or i wouldn't waste bullets. they don't make it impossible

It's a cult classic. There was a kickstarter campaign to get a (spiritual)sequel going and they did some early work, but not sure what happened since then. I know one of the head designers got busted for child pornography and that derailed it quite a bit.
It was supposed to be partially based on Elizabeth Bathory(shes a character) but with super natural elements found in the original game
-

Reminds me of this investigative game I played for the PC. The game would actually send you emails even when it wasn't running. Like "hey check out this clue I got". Even got one from the killer himself. It was freaky. Can't remember the name of it though.

On the business side of the console war, the PS4 is in the lead with 5.4 million consoles sold globally against 3.5 for the XboxOne. Those figures didn't even include Japan, as the PS4 just went on sale there.
So far the XBoxOne looks to be in a lot of trouble.
-
Not TERRIBLE considering the Xbox came out a tiny bit later and is selling for a hundred dollars more.
Once they adjust the price which will eventually happen and come out with like halo or something they'll be more than fine
-

1-2 weeks later is not later. the PS3 came out a year after the 360, and it still ended up outselling it long term.
Right now the biggest difference between sales is all about the price. Sony will win sales for the first year or two. when Xbox drops its price, they will be more competitive in sales, unless Sony's price goes down considerably at the same time.
I think PS4 will outsell Xbone because its a superior device, but when it's all said and done the price will dictate sales over the next 7-8 years (or however long this console set lasts).
-
Yeah but that's just going to matter with US sales. Microsoft has no marketability outside of the US. The reason the 360 did well is because it was strong domestically. Not the case now.

I am dying for more details regarding this. From what I have heard they are throwing Nathan Drake and his storyline away and starting over with a similar concept but a whole new class of characters.
I'm not sure how I feel about that. very attached to Drake and his crew. It won't make me not play it because Naughty Dog is quite possibly the best story-telling game creator in the business, but I just don't know if it can/should still maintain the title of Uncharted.

Still waiting to buy a PS3 here, though.

I dont think Uncharted even comes close to keeping up with microsofts big exclusives
Although the halo series has been kinda milked down for a while, so its possible that it loses some steam.
Uncharted (the entire series) had approximately 13 million copies sold
Halo as a franchise has far beyond 50 million
Its like comparing Super Mario to Donkey Kong
Doesnt even come close

Uncharted has 4 (3 + 1 for handhelds)
Halo has 8 (9 if you include them releasing the same game)
But absolutely demolished Uncharted in sales by a tremendous margin
Even if you double Uncharted's sales to account for the shortage of games

I would call it 9-3 in favor of Halo.
That said Halo clearly outsells the Uncharted series per release, that said I would bet their last 5 games sold significantly more copies in comparison to their first 4 as longevity of a series sells copies.
but the original argument is undeniable
Uncharted 4 will sell PS4s and will sell a excrement ton of copies worldwide.

There are more than a few examples.
In the MGS world, it's all one gigantic story played from two viewpoints across two different time periods. Plus, Bigg Boss literally plays exactly as Solid Snake does. Which is why it makes sense to call it all the. MGS universe
My original point was just from what I understand about Uncharted 4 why keep the title the same? Instead of creating a new series, but with the same/similar gameplay mechanics?
I'm sure that when details start to be released, a link will show up that will make it obvious why the game should retain the Uncharted title.

Who the hell still plays Final Fantasy? The format is so dated.

As far as XB1 vs PS4
They're getting crushed and hold little to no market share aside from US and UK.
The hardware differences show in most multi platform games.
Draw rate, display width, texture resolution etc etc
I said it a million times they would've been.better off topping PS4 in the hardware dept instead of going for the all in one media hub angle.
It'll be up to Microsofts first party studios to make up for this. Their exclusives NEVER appealed to me though.
that's cause IM an RPG fan. The Japanese will always best America in this dept. Any American RPGS of more always end up multi platform too.
XB1 won't have a problem surviving. They'll never outsell the PS4 though if I had to wager.
-
You're a JRPG fan. And those suck. Western-style (real) RPGs are far superior.
(I'm just being a jerk with that because your comment assumed it was factual and isn't. I don't like JRPGs at all, but whether they suck or Western ones do is simply a matter of taste.)
-------------
The thing about Xbox vs. PS isn't necessarily console sales. Everyone looks at MS and says "You didn't sell as many hardware units, you lose!" That's ridiculous though. Microsoft continues to make money on the same customer after they take that unit home via Xbox Live. I assume they're making money from content providers as well, not to mention advertising on multiple panels on the home screens.
It's a two horse race, and will continue to be so for the forseeable future. It's much like Apple vs. Android. The "winner" is always whoever the speaker prefers. The reality is: both are making money hand-over-fist and neither one is "losing."

I don't think this will be a 2 horse race for long. The Windows phone is superior to both other than apps, and the apps will catch up quick enough. If anything, Apple might be the odd man out other than the die hards in the long run, seeing as Windows, and to a lesser extent Android phones integrate seamlessly with Windows based computers.

No. Not a cat in hell's chance. Microsoft's real chance of getting a strong foothold was by tying the Windows Phone to Lync and driving it as a corporate standard, but they missed the boat and now they've blown their shot at the corporate market because iOS and to a lesser extent Android have captured that from RIM. Lync came too late, too poorly featured and without a real understanding of the market it thought it was trying to capture.
Windows Phone is a reasonable interface but they don't and won't have the development community behind them, because there isn't the market for it. We develop all of our mobile client apps for iOS, Android and RIM; we haven't adapted them for Windows Phone because no-one is asking us to. It becomes chicken and egg; no-one writes apps for the OS because there isn't the demand, and without the apps available no-one will buy into the OS.
-
Western RPGs are hot garbage. They're on the same shitty level as shooters.
Zomg mass effect is da best ever it let's me choose between three voice options in a conversation to cover up its excrement gameplay and rpg mechanics.
I'll admit that New jrpgs aren't the greatest either. Older Japanese rpgs set the standard. Earlier final fantasies earthbound secret of mana that kinda stuff.
-
And an interesting note, one of the few new games to come out for next gen consoles was Plants Vs Zombies (its a team fortress spin off, not like the one you play on your phone)
Apparently the online is COMPLETELY broken and unplayable.
Its insane how many next gen games have launched completely broken.
NBA 2k14, battlefield 4, COD 4, plants vs zombies 2. Im sure theres others, but they all came out COMPLETELY unplayable.
Its absolutely freaking ridiculous

It's a two horse race, and will continue to be so for the forseeable future. It's much like Apple vs. Android. The "winner" is always whoever the speaker prefers. The reality is: both are making money hand-over-fist and neither one is "losing."
Butthurt much? Western RPGS are good in their own right IM a fan if all RPGS. Japanese or not. my point was Xbox never had an exclusive RPG worth a excrement aside from Tales Of Vesperia. Which was Japanese. And on PS3 in Japan.
Fable? Is that it?
Sony gets exponentially more RPGS and all the Western ones for the last decade have been multiplatform
You jump to a rash conclusion as if I said ones better than the other. IM talking volume.
The only real good western RPGS not on sony consoles pre date the system. ie Baldurs Gate, Ultima Online, Fallout 1 and 2 the list goes on.
Both of them offer different things and luckily IM not jaded enough to lock off a whole genre out of stubbornness.
Western RPGS as of late have gotten LAZY AS freak though.
But IM not rehashing the Dragon Age 2 argument with you.
I enjoy both been playing both genres since the early 90s.
But when It comes to RPGs PS bludgeons XB to death.
All western RPGS on XB are available on PS sans Fable (which the creator himself said was underachieving. And he's French so it's technically not a Western RPG.
Add in the litany of JRPGS and for my preference choice of system has always been.a no brainer
I had a 360 for it's exclusive RPGS and barely got use out of it.
Their only real selling point is Shooting games. Halo and GoW carried the 360 .
,I prefer genre variety and favor RPGS regardless of easy or West.
And by those benchmarks, for me, it's not remotely close looking at track records.
And I still maintain XB1 will be fine but fact of the matter is, from hardware to marketing XB1 caters to.casual gamers and multimedia hub.enthusiasts.
PS4 marketed themselves to hardcore gamers. IM not so damn lazy I have to tell my TV to be a voice activated DVR. Grabbing the remote still works.
I was discussing console vs console and you somehow turned it into some rage fueled western vs Japanese RPG topic.
And as far as consoles go , the Japanese set the gold standard in pushing console sales for RPG enthusiasts.
The Dungeons and Dragons guys got off their derriere and dropped the own n paper schtick once they saw the money to be made aside from the modernized own n paper style adventures on early PCs

No. Not a cat in hell's chance. Microsoft's real chance of getting a strong foothold was by tying the Windows Phone to Lync and driving it as a corporate standard, but they missed the boat and now they've blown their shot at the corporate market because iOS and to a lesser extent Android have captured that from RIM. Lync came too late, too poorly featured and without a real understanding of the market it thought it was trying to capture.
Windows Phone is a reasonable interface but they don't and won't have the development community behind them, because there isn't the market for it. We develop all of our mobile client apps for iOS, Android and RIM; we haven't adapted them for Windows Phone because no-one is asking us to. It becomes chicken and egg; no-one writes apps for the OS because there isn't the demand, and without the apps available no-one will buy into the OS.
We can agree to disagree. Windows will be the platform that the majority of companies will use until we're old(er) and gray(er).
Yes, Android will have a HUGE development community behind them. That was sort of my point. Apple is too proprietary to ever truly own that community. That's exactly where Windows can sneak in the door. The largest platform (by a long long way) on the PC planet seamlessly integrating to their phone... Match made in heaven.

Specifically fallout 3 (which im expecting you and several people to respond saying how incredible that game was)
Though I will give it credit, that game had exceptional graphics (at the time)
And ok maybe it wasnt terrible. I just found it severely disappointing considering the drastic change in direction for the franchise.

Sorry, no. I'm not agreeing to disagree with you here, you're just plain wrong. This is what I do for a living (and given you know who I work for, you know that I don't have a horse in this particular race so I'm not being biased).
The only people in the world who think that Microsoft have a hope of being relevant in the mobile device space are people who work for Microsoft, and even they don't really believe it. I'm not sure you really understand the developer community and especially its history if you think that Microsoft are better placed than Apple on this. People don't want to develop for Microsoft because they have a habit of having their lunch eaten. Microsoft are done in this market, no matter how pretty you might think their UI is.

Gotta agree with this
Microsoft is a dinosaur, and theyre about to get whiped out.
Windows is a dying platform, and im sincerely convinced that were going to see microsoft absolutely crumble in the next 20 years.
Microsoft was the king simply because it was the the first to make a user friendly UI which was the basis of pretty much all computers. But they havent changed at all, and their attempts to change (windows 7, 8, mobile) have all failed pretty bad.
Once Android/Google starts moving towards desktops, or mobile platforms significantly wipe out PCs (which theyre in the early phase of doing) Microsoft is just going to die.
Funny how growing up Microsoft was always looked at as this OMG greatest company in the world that couldnt be touched. And now theyre just meh. Google now owns the throne
Edit- Turns out that the first wave of android desktops came out last month.
And that Lenovo/HP are already moving in that direction.
Between Android Desktops and Chromebooks I dont expect the next generation of kids to know what the freak windows or microsoft is.

I've played them all. I think 1-2 are revered because they were groundbreaking. I can't really think of a quality game before them where you could kill anything or anyone just for the hell of it. I understand why some of those folks might have been pissed by the change of format, but there is no way that the original format would have stood the test of time to a mass audience.
Fallout 3 was a natural progression, and the sales and replay, not to mention the massive modding community, proved it. Still one of the top 5 games I have ever played.

No argument that Windows will remain the de facto OS on the desktop until virtualized desktops become the corporate standard, at which point desktop OS will become moot. That's another market in which MS have been comprehensively outmanoeuvred, this time by Citrix and VMWare. Once again MS were too late, too expensive and too underpowered.
I see Microsoft's long term future in two models, home automation/integration and core business applications such as Sharepoint. The OS is becoming entirely commoditised and people have no need of being loyal to one the way they had to be with Windows and MacOS for the preceding fifteen or so years; with common applications and cloud-based data, I can switch between operating systems at will. I can access Google Apps on my personal Ubuntu-based desktop, my company issued Windows laptop, my Samsung Smart TV and my Android phone, and I can start a doc in one, save it, then pick up right where I left off on an entirely different device with an entirely different operating system. Why do I care about OS, and more importantly, why would I consider a device with an OS specifically designed to drag me away from that model and into a single vendor ecosystem? (Also a similar knock against Apple, although not quite the same.)

This is actually pretty interesting. The other day I signed up for Microsoft's cloud office service, which allows me to use office on my laptop and mobile devices. For $9.99 a month. That's a far cry from the hundreds of dollars it used to cost to get another software license. How is the company going to continue to making massive profits?

Well, that's a pretty profitable model - no distribution network required and it's exponentially more difficult to pirate software when you haven't been given any, just allowed to access it via the web.
They also have a very strong line in core applications - Office will be a cash cow for a good while yet (although there's no sensible reason for any consumer to ever buy a licence for it again, given the capabilities of free and entirely compatible offerings such as LibreOffice, OpenOffice and Star Office) and tools like Sharepoint and Exchange are staples of the corporate world that aren't going away any time soon. I do struggle to see growth for them though, they are consistently slow into new markets.
-
Office365 is huge for Microsoft. SkyDrive/OneDrive is poised for huge money because they are beginning to integrate that into Windows 8 home folders. Instead of your user shell folders being housed locally MS is now housing that in the cloud. They'll probably provide 10-20 GB free but I'm sure will charge per GB after that. HyperV has and will continue to exist as their virtualization solution.
Microsoft is fine

I've been playing eso and wildstar beta for a while.
Both are kind of meh, but wildstar is 6+ months from release meh, while eso is "going gold in a couple weeks" meh.
Eso is going to be a flop, leveling still sucks(even after they made it more streamlined) and pvp is fun, but tedious.
Wildstar still has a lot of time to fix their issues, which is really just game play related changes and optimization related. The graphics are still alpha for a lot of areas. There is a ton of content in wildstar, too.
At this point, I'm passing on eso.

ESO was a flop from the start. Shame since this will likely further turn off companies from making mmos for consoles

One persons opinion. I have numerous MMO beta who can't wait to play and people with access to the Dev servers.
Console will be better IMO due to less overpopulation and non robotic movement. Add in mouse and keyboard compatibility and the PC communication argument goes out the window.
Wildstar looks decent but looks exactly like a sci fi WoW clone
As an MMO Vet who hasn't played one in a while and an Elder Scrolls fan IM good to go and TamrielFoundry.com has plenty of activity to show the inevitable beating it will take from critics and F2P supporters will be irrelevant.

I dont hate elderscrolls because its elderscrolls, I just dont like to play single player offline games which it is, unless its more of a classic rpg.
Elderscrolls seemed to me like it was made for multiplayer.
But ESO is going to fail. Just because its pretty apparent they dont have a plan.
Wildstar is never going to be a massive success, because thats not the kinda game theyre going for (mass appeal).
Wildstar is more of a niche game, aimed at hardcore mmo players, who preferred vanilla WoW over the dumbed down casual aimed current gameplay. I doubt Wildstar is ever extrodinary, but I think it will achieve what it wanted. Probably 500k-700k subs if its lucky, doubt I ever see it hitting 1 million.

No plan ROFL.
First off you say Elder Scrolls best suits multiplayer yet the MMO will fail.
That makes sense.
This is the first MMO where diplomacy will matter. IM already having discussions with GMs in my faction for PvP strategy .
No auction house gives crafting a legit role and forces people to actually socialize. The whole meAning behind MMOs
Guilds need alliances to allow free trade at guild shops
IM on my phone so I don't feel like elaborating to the Nth degree. But as of now it will be the most original.MMO available.

And I said multiplayer not MMO.
Elder Scrolls mechanics of "everyone can be a master of everything" alone makes it a poor fit for MMOs. With multiplayer balance was never mandatory, unless youre talking pvp (which the game just isnt made for). Something closer to a fable model of multiplayer likely would have fit it better.
And Diplomacy always fails in MMOs. Too many parties, too difficult to manage. Theres a reason this would be the ""first"" mmo to have it (even though its been done and consistently fails)
No AH isnt going to change anything. Most console players dont use mouse/keyboard so communication is going to be effed up. Im assuming that its an MMO that dungeons will be the best way to get gear (it always is) so crafting really is going to be irrelevant. Outside of maybe during the launch period when everyone is persistently under-geared.
Games going to fail

Except you can't master everything lol.the game isn't Skyrim 2.0 twist you previous statement all you want but saying a game is built perfectly for multiplayer and then counting on EVERYTHING to go wrong is a pretty lazy explaination.
And diplomacy fails why? The important people will have keyboards all the non keyboard people have to do is read and react. Taking keeps requires larger guilds to rely on smaller guilds to secure resources and cut off redirection routes so reinforcements never make it into the battle.
And it's already confirmed the best equipment will be made by master crafters working with master enchanters.
This MMO isn't made to where you can solo everything and jerkoff to your DPS rating. People actually have to interact.
Furthermore no Auction House changes everything. The equipment drop rare is slightly less than other games and NPC merchants are more scarce and give you less return than most MMOs . If people want market value for anything they need to interact with others.
They also need membership into a guild to access it's guild shop. Which is why Merchants Guilds are already formed for the sole purpose of free trade.
You can speak till your blue in the face but most of what you say applies to typical MMO tropes, which this game is making an effort to avoid.
Instead of resulting to canned responses I'll trust the numerous people I know playing the game, the other GMs IM planning strategy with to benefit our faction, not just our Guilds.
So yes diplomacy will be relevant.
Mindless zerg formations get chopped down and re routes with ease by people who know what they're doing.

I talk like a person who has never played it because it hasn't come out yet.
And my opinion comes from a few people with 24/7 access to the developers test servers. A couple whom are best friends of mine that I've played MMOs with since Ultima Online in 97.
At least a dozen more MMO beta who've spent numerous hours daily on the public beta servers when available.
100s more who are about as hardcore as it gets.
The game is not perfect but the general consensus is they're breaking away from a few of the MMO tropes for the better.
Mostly making people interact with eachother, giving crafting legit crafting roles . which Ultima Online was the only one I've seen do it right. PvP will not be everybody cup of tea, but the diplomacy will play a much bigger role due to strategy. Especially for an underdog faction like the Daggerfall Covenant.
I was admittedly skeptic of an ES MMO myself but the more I dig and talk to people the overall consensus is this game is doing things a little but differently and has the potential to silence the F2P drones when they get distracted by the next fad months from now.
I personally expect it to R&D ale a beating from critics because MMO launches are NEVER smooth. Combined with the F2P popularity ppl will Pisa and moan that it's not free.
Good for them. I won't spend a penny on another game once this is out with a Cple single p player RPG exceptions.
So the monthly fee isn't this alien concept to me rape cally once you break it down dollars per minute vs buying.more 20 hour games lol
-
I actually prefer the monthly fee
F2P mmos (or ones without monthly fees but purchases like GW2) are often excrement.
Im telling ya though, its so incredibly tough to successfully launch an MMO these days. I just cant see it doing well.
Hell im AMAZED that FFXIV is doing so well, I played it when it first launched and relaunched,and its honestly not a great game. Some mechanics of it are very impressive (instances are pretty great) but its got major major flaws. Of course ffxiv has a long long history of hardcore dedicated subscribers many of whom likely played ff11 for years. Plus a huge percentage of its players come from Japan too

Still liked 1 much better (based solely on the combat system), but your choices make a significantly bigger difference in 2. Good but not great game. Some of the boss fights will pee you off endlessly, but you can always switch to 'easy' just for any given boss fight if you get overly frustrated.

I'm only at the first town -- I slept with a prostitute :)
I don't know, I'm not loving it so far. I find the inventory system a bit toilsome. Overall, I think it's suffering the same problem that a lot of other RPGs suffer from -- It's not Skyrim.

Skyrim isn't the end all/be all for RPGs. It's a great game, but it's also a very specific type of game. It's more about open world than it is story centric. Games like Dragon Age and Witcher are highly story centric, however the new versions of them coming out this year are incorporating huge open world elements also.
Playing Witcher 2 without playing Witcher 1, or at least doing some rudimentary reading on the lore, will probably leave you a bit confused.
Most people(except Fenwyr) and media outlets thought Witcher 2 was a big improvement over WItcher 1, which was a fantastic game in its own right. But the game is largely about the story and choice. I enjoy the combat and RPG elements though. Decent crafting system, the alchemy is a large part of playing the game.

I really have to get back to The Witcher and then Witcher 2. I've read the books (I still have the last one sitting on my desk to be read though). I was jsut really disappointed with the gameplay of the first one so I put it down and I've struggled to return to it. I've debated skipping it completely and just playing 2 on Xbox.

The combat isn't anything special in the first one. Basically two combination attacks....but the story, dialog and characters make it interesting.
Geralt is one of the biggest badasses in all of gaming. It's not really even close.

I'm curious to see how he appears in the games. He's a cool character in the novels. The only real issue I have reading them is that they're translated and there is certainly something lost a bit from the source.

Wisecracking, well aware of the moving political motives surrounding him and having the power to attack his problems however he sees fit.
There's an added depth of course with.him trying to piece together his old life, find his lost love while he balances his feelings for his current one.
I never played part 1 but read up on it. The story and settings are two things The Witcher series does best. Also Like their character design even the minor ones help push the playtime and add depth.
Combat system mechanics are horrid though. If they can clean it up The Witcher 3 might be one of the most critically acclaimed games of the year

Really? It all makes sense now. You were doing it wrong. Between the sword and magic I was doing 7 hit combinations by the end of the game.

No, i meant there was only strong/weak attack and it'd prompt you when to attack

My understanding is that is actual gameplay footage. Not just cutscene material. So that's how the game is going to look as you're adventuring throughout the world.
-

Strong/weak was 2. In 1 you had to train up your sword attacks and time them perfectly to get the combos, which you could add magic attacks to the end of. I played on PC, so MB1 was sword and MB2 was magic. It was completely fluent. In 2 MB1 was weak and MB2 was strong, and the center button was magic. Combat felt so forced. Maybe it was different on console?

aside from Infamous and the ps4 Indie titles (which are awesome btw)
looks like my PS3 will be getting some SERIOUS gameplay to tie me over until June.
just bought
Final Fantasy X / X-2 HD Remaster (played about 60 hours of FFX back in the day but never finished it, so this is something im looking forward to)
Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD Remix (never played any of the series entries and with 2.5 remix coming out this year and 3 coming to next gen thought id just catch up)
Mass Effect Trilogy (i had a 360 but was so busy with work at the time that i only dumped about 30 hours into part one doing mostly side missions, sold my 360 and now time to catch up on the series)
spent 60 bucks between the two which is essentially 5 whole games and the story cinematics of a 6th game
-
anyone whose a sucker for nostalgia with a face lift, Mercenary Kings is going to be the excrement.
thing Contra/Metal Slug meets the modern day customization and depth of todays games.

keep the indies coming PS4, no complaints here.

Metal Slug was the best.

My first thought is how did you put 60 hours into FFX and not finish it?
Secondly I got X/X-2 collectors edition yesterday, there is a bonus audio section which strongly hints at the creation of another final fantasy X. I expect a formal announcement at E3 this year. Makes sense as to why they redid FFX rather than FFVII since they would have made a crapton more money on VII, but if a new FFX is coming out, makes sense to reintroduce the world of Spira to get people even more excited about the up coming game.

I hadn't played it since it came out. Was prolly more around 40 hours lol
Ionno it's been over a decade all I remember is I was about to go inside Sin it felt like 70 percent into the game but I obviously never found out
But picked up the remaster I stated away from the bonus audio and all that since I never finished the original so working on that now
Then it's on to Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD and Mass Effect trilogy
looking forward to Mercenary Kings on PS4 in April
All that will keep me busy till ESO hits console

I've been playing Kingdoms of Amalur since January. As of last night, I've logged just under 62 hours of gameplay time (as shown on the save screen). I'm still in the first area, and haven't even finished 2/3 of it! This is easily going to be a 100+ hour game for me. And that's actual play time.

I like that game actually, very underrated
I quit playing cause it glitches on me though not allowing me to turn in a main story quest.
And didn't feel like operating off a previous save so I quit playing lol
I also missed out when this game was free on PS+

It took me forever to play because the price never came down and I wasn't interested enough to pay full price after playing the demo. Once you start acquiring powers though, it's a lot of fun. I'm sorry they went belly-up.
-
Mediocre game. The lore was uninteresting and the quests were so tedious. There was nothing exceptional about the game. It was just average all around.
-
I disagree.
The lore isn't great, but it's okay. The questing can be a little tedious, but it allows me to keep re-visiting areas to farm XP. I'm playing a Finesse-focused character, and I'm enjoying sneaking up on targets and assassinating them.
It's not the best RPG I've ever played by any means, but it's far from the worst too.
-
I really want Dark Souls 2 but the PC version doesn't come out till next month.
I sold my PS3 and xbox a couple of months ago.

Basing this on KOA: Reckoning. If you guys are talking about a new one, please disregard.
I pimped this game a couple months after it came out and got killed for it on the old board.
Lore and questing is meh, but you get that with most RPG type games. Combat is great on the other hand. You can go so many different ways with your character and still be effective. Very much reminded me of the Witcher 1 for combat. It couldn't compete with either Witcher on story or quests though. Even being a few years old the graphics are still quite good.
I never got around to finishing it, but plan on installing it again someday to do so.

Yup, that's the game. There won't be a sequel either. The company went belly-up and almost took Rhode Island with it.
The combat is amazing.

My point was not 60 hours was too much to not finish I think my first playthrough was so wing absurd close to 70 hours, but more the how could you devote that much time and then just never finish? That would drive me nuts.
Secondly, the KH franchise you will probably enjoy a lot, especially if you are into FF, as Nomura did a lot of work on VII and IX (and some involvement in X) before becoming head of KH, it's a excrement ton of fun.

Old game, but really enjoyed Jade Empire. I never had the original Xbox so i never played it...bought it awhile back on a steam sale.
Definitely Bioware's most underrated game. KotOR, Baldurs gate, Dragon age, and mass effect get all the glory but this was right up there with a lot of them.

You mean Infamous Second son for PS4?
I played the first Infamous on PS3, but only after it was free (part of the "we're sorry PSN didn't work for a month" package). It was alright, but I get a little bored with those open world action sandbox games. I guess by then it was a bit dated too.

2 already came out. This is the 3rd game. There were 2 for PS3, and this is the PS4 one
I remember I would get Prototype and Infamous confused all the time. they were pretty much the same games though. Part of why I was a little meh on the genre

Perhaps you could expand on the game a tad? We both have no clue what it's about or what the gameplay is like. Is it PS only or available on PC?

It's a Playstation exclusive.
It's similar to Assassin's creed in some ways but with super natural powers (i.e. you shoot lightning and excrement). It's open world, a lot little side quests, you gotta scale building and ride power lines to get across buildings. IMHO not as good as Assassin's creed though, because Assassin's creed has some cooler elements and depth.
It's kind of like Just Cause and Assassin's creed combined i guess.
It's nothing you'd go run and buy a system for, but it's a decent type of that genre (action/adventure open world)

Doesn't sound like my type of game. I never got into AC, and well, it's PS exclusive so I am out by default.

To piggy back off this...
I also got introduced to Infamous after the sony on-line fuckup. I enjoyed the game, found it interesting.
Got the 1&2 combo pack for $20 around Christmas time on a deal at Target. For $20 it's totally worth it. I thought the game was fun, nothing groundbreaking average storyline presented in a way that is different/fresh. I thought the second game was significantly better than the 1st in all areas except for storyline/intrigue. But I've talked to others who thought the second had mechanics issues, but the storyline was vastly improved. Part of what made it different is allowing you to choose to be the good guy or the bad guy. Not an entirely new concept, but it was executed well enough to feel different.
Second Son is on my "Must play list" for PS4 games, which currently has 2 games on it that have been released, which is why I don't own a PS4 yet.
Anyways here is the original Trailer for Infamous from way the freak back in the day...

Infamous Second Son is freaking awesome. First game that is a true next gen game.
Was.never too big on the first two, they're fun but I never finished them. After watching story summaries though, the series story is much better than you'd expect from a sandbox action game.
As far as Second Son goes, great game so far. Particle effects is a phrase I keep using when discussing this game .
The graphical effects of powers is impressive. The game never slows down even when utter chaos is on the screen
The story is good, it has a lot of connections to the previous two titles while introducing a new lead character to the series
And some other stuff I don't want to spoil
-
I get a ton of value from my PS Plus subscription alone.
3 free PS3 games, 1 Free PS4 game, every month.
Mercenary Kings this month on PS4
Think Contra/ Metal Slug on steroids with modern day game customization for your weapons
It's a great homage to retro gaming. I fully intended on buying it so the fact it's free is a bonus
As far as PS4, or XBox1
The must haves will be out by the end of the year. At least for Me
But IM glad I.have mine. Then again I play games a good deal so if money is an issue and your only a casual.gamer your not going to feel like your missing out.

Coach being that you are a PS4 guy and clearly are downloading the games you get free with your PSPlus, how's the hard drive space holding up? That's one of my dillemas I have, should it just pony up for a terabyte hard drive (or bigger if necessary) up front? Or does the 500 GB actually hold a fuckton of stuff? Ideally I would like to go the life of the system without needing a HD replacement, that's how the PS3 went for me, but I never download games on my PS3 but on the PS4 I'll at minimum be downloading a good chunk of the free games they hand me if not all of them.

Hard drive space isn't an issue for me.
I only play 2 games a time really so if I know IM not playing anything for a while I just delete it.
Most of the free games are on the smaller side

If you just delete the "install" do you lose everything associated with the game as in saves/trophies and other stuff? Or do you keep that stuff and just have to re-install the game when you are ready to play it again?

It should just be the application you can also backup everything on your PSN cloud account as far as saves go
PS4 games run between 18.to 40 gigs.
The Indie games much smaller.
I still have at least a few hundred left even with a lot of stuff on it I have a lot of random game captured footage that serve no use to delete.
If Money isn't an issue you can.upgrade. But that would only be an issue if your trying to.actively play like a dozen big name titles at once.
If you play 3 to 4 games at once and download misc stuff you should be good
-
Just looked I still have saves for games I deleted. So there's that answer.

I heard that the ps4 will let you play ps3 games. Is this still true? I want to be able to play last of us.

Ps4 is not backwards compatible in the traditional sense meaning TLoU disc will not play, but they are making digital downloads of older PS games, and TLoU will be one of them before long. Also I heard this....

That's my point though, you have a few hundred left, but you have only owned the system for what 6 months tops? In two years you are going to be out of space/ constantly deleting excrement. I'd rather just spend the money to upgrade the hard drive up front and not have to worry about it over the next 5-7 years before the next-next gen shows up.

It's up to you. It won't be an issue for Mr and if it becomes on I can flash drive save files.
If money isn't an issue and your that worried, upgrade the HD. Once I delete a few more games I won't be playing in a few months I'll be back around 375 gigs.
There's enough space for all your game saves a lot of misc stuff. I haven't even deleted all my video captured from Madden and other games which will open up even more space.
But if you want to assure yourself space is not an issue upgrade.
I just know I never usually play more than a few games simultaneously.
Once ESO is out it'll be that and a cple side games. So space won't be an issue
-
Okay, so I'll be picking up ESO later this month, and I'll tell yas aboot it.
I think it comes with a month free.

Suit yourself. I have a guild and dozens of players waiting to go. And alliances with guilds that have quite a large number of people.The only MMO remotely close is Everquest next. I assume you played the PC beta.
And it's an MMO not typical ESO where your godlike in a couple days.
Leveling isn't tedious some people have hit the cap and earned their veteran ranks already. So tedious? IM going to have to disagree. Now once you hit veteran ranks? It gets hard, but for now there's enough content to keep people busy
If people want Elder Scrolls single player your in the wrong place.
But to each his own. I know I'll be playing it and having no shortage of help.

Sony is releasing a free to play Zombie Appocalypse MMO also. Think DayZ but way better due to a triple A development team instead of a Indie Czech developer creating a mid off a dead game nobody heard of
Hits Steam on PC in 4 to 6 weeks and then PS4 afterwards
And since it's SOE, obviously no XBONE relase

Wildstar is pretty close, comes out before ESO for the xbone/ps4.
This game (eso) is getting trashed for having one of the worst dungeon setups EVER. Tons of loot is in chest, people just run around and troll and gank loot while ignoring the group.
The simplified skill system with only 6~ active skills at a time.
Two huge things though, ESO is getting excrement on for having HORRENDOUSLY bad customer service. Japanese MMOs (like FFXIV) were known for really really bad customer service, but ESO which I believe is based in North America seems comparably bad. Major game breaking bugs (which are to be expected in a new mmo) that arent rapidly fixed (Which is a problem). And of course This game likely has the worst forums ive EVER seen in a game made by a big company.
It looks like it can be fun at a times, but it seems like a virtual lock at this point that the game is a failure.
Id bet theres at least a 90% chance it goes free to play in under a year. As a matter of fact I think its pretty likely by the time the World Of Warcraft launches that its free to play.
The only thing that "could" save it from going free to play so soon is the ps4/xbox one versions. Since those consoles barely have any games at all, so it could do pretty well being that no competition exists. (until Destiny comes out in fall/winter)

Id bet theres at least a 90% chance it goes free to play in under a year. As a matter of fact I think its pretty likely by the time the World Of Warcraft launches that its free to play.
The only thing that "could" save it from going free to play so soon is the ps4/xbox one versions. Since those consoles barely have any games at all, so it could do pretty well being that no competition exists. (until Destiny comes out in fall/winter)
like i said i prefer the limited skill bar, requires more skill in combat then spamming 20 skill icons taking up space on your screen. and once your hit level 10 you can swap weapons and loadouts so you can either use two weapons and skillsets, or just extend your skillbar for one weapon when you switch to the second loadout.
Wildstar is appealing to people who liked WoW before they dumbed it down. so they have a built in audience, it is essentially Sci-Fi WoW.
they will get a quarter of a million people playing just based off that, but it wont be for me. your also forgetting to leave out all the positive things that have been said about it, but me and you have gone over this before. wow PC gamers complaining to high hell about a less than perfect launch? color me shocked.
theres a reason i got tired of PC gaming and its mostly due to PC Gamers. the only game that looked good ebnough for me to think about re upping for a gaming PC was DayZ and thats going to get blown out of the water by H1Z1
so everything is still good for me. you declared the game DOA months ago, I still think theres a ton of potential and a lot of the complaining still comes from people complaining about sub fees.
ultimately, its success will be decided by the quality and frequency of post endgame content they can provide. which its far too early to make a case for or against that. at this point all the complaints i heard so far sound like theyre coming from people who forgot what an MMO launch is like.
and Destiny wont be cutting a huge chunk of its fanbase away. I will play both myself, but most of the hardcore ES fans, im willing to wager wont spend the initial investment on Destiny. the vast difference in genres aside from being Massive Multiplayer leaves enough room for them to share market space.
I'm not here to guarantee its success, i just think its funny that theres been a solid amount of great feedback on the game and people point to the complaints ive come to expect with any MMO launch. and if it does go F2P that is probably when i throw in the towel. so time will tell

I didnt forget the positives.
The positives are very very VERY similar to SWTOR... Which is likely the biggest MMO failure in the history of the genre.
A game built on "great stories, and narrative" "makes you feel a part of the quest" blah blah blah. It has the supplement stuff, while failing majorly on the prime content.
This game is SWTOR 2.0
I wish it wasnt because I certainly would have enjoyed playing an elderscrolls mmo, I always wish the elderscrolls series were multiplayer. And now that they went that direction, they effed it up.
I declared the game a failure not "doa"
And a failure it shall be

as he said, so it shall be. thanks gaming jesus.
a SWTOR is the canned response as to why it will fail. yet its far to early to think theres any legitimacvy to the comparison.
i was referring to the in depth crafting and profession systems. and the potential to make PvP constantly relevant beyond usual MMO's and doing it right in which Guild Wars took a stab at but failed.
your just tossing out simple basic things one should expect from an MMO. the running theme i keep seeing with people who criticize this game is they mention how they wanted multiplayer elder scrolls but think it should be free to play. or moreso they pretty much explain it will be free to play, guarantee it, and list basic problems expected with a new MMO launch as reasons why.
i think it would take a while for this to go Free to play, if it ever does. i just find it funny you expect it so soon. most games these days are short, and peoples complaints are more so derived from they dont have the time to dedicate to the game to justify the price.
meanwhile they will spend 60 to 120 bucks a month on games. or other vices/habits.
you dont like the game, yet ive only heard things about what you read. im not going to rehash this because i think theres a few pages dedicated to this very debate. I will be playing it, I think I will enjoy it plenty. especially since i dont have to worry about overpopulation and the level of exploitation PC gamers will. and i already have plenty of friends ready to play. which is what ultimately makes an MMO. its about the social experience. if i wanted to jerkoff to my DPS rating id never have quit WoW.
imnot guaranteeing it will be a major success, im just finding it amusing your so prepared to declare a game over a week after its release, and MMO nonetheless
point in case im looking for a new MMO, and ESO fits my preferences. between running a growing guild , the other PS4 single player RPGs and Destiny due out this year. ill be good. but all games will definitely take a backseat to playing with my friends. the only real game that will threaten it as far as the time i invest is The Division, which wont see the light of day for at least another year

Dont need to be gaming jesus to see something so simple.
List the last 10 major MMOs to come out. Im willing to bet 8 of them were failures.
And while someone may consider FFXIV a success, it launched failed catastrophically, had to be rebuilt from the ground up and then relaunched to be moderately successful (although I have no idea how its done long term since its launched)
Darkfall- Fail
Neverwinter- Fail
Guild Wars 2- Fail (and it was free to play with purchase)
Secret World- Fail
DC Universe Online ?Mediocre?
Rift Fail
SWTOR - Fail
Fallen Earth- Fail
Age Of Conan Fail
Aion Fail
Most MMOs fail. World of Warcraft absolutely dominates the market, and everytime it launches a new expansion it just kills all its competitors.
ESO doesnt have anything "special" about it that sets it apart. The game is gonna fail
The best chance for a MMO to be a "success" is for it to be a smaller company (ie Wildstar) where for it to be a success it doesnt need 2 million subscribers. Wildstar can easily be a success if it exceeds 500k subscribers.
While ESO has sunk so much money in, that it would need to wildly exceed expectations for it to have a chance. But theres nothing about it that makes me believe it will do so.
I may be stubborn, pigheaded, and quite incoherent; but this game will fail
-
Was Guild Wars 2 really a fail? I liked it and was almost level capped but just stopped having time for MMO's. I really think they have one of the best subscription setups out there. Everything is free but with micro transactions. Almost anything you can buy with real money can be farmed over time for free essentially.

this might be your dumbest take on the subject yet.simply cause over half of them never really were "major" to begin with. im done explaining why. but you can get your pom poms out to cheer for its failure. enjoy it

Over half ?
At best Fallen Earth and Neverwinter werent major.
The rest were.
If over half of them werent "major" then only like 3-4 "major" mmos have come out in like the last 10 years

This is the first comment I've understood since dcm's slam.

The Secret World is a very niche game, hardly a major release. I wouldn't consider it a fail by any means. Sure it went F2P rather quickly, and likely should have been from launch with the optional subscription model it now uses, along with the mini cash transactions for clothing and stuff. You can complete the entire core game by paying nothing but the box price. If you enjoy it you can buy the expansions. The game is incredibly immersive and the story is dark and engaging. I would still recommend giving it a try if you have a PC.

Anyone pick up Dark souls 2?
PC version finally came out last week. Will probably pick it up on Steam soon.

I almost bought the first Dark Souls for the PS3 at the weekend, but the reviews said it's really, really difficult. I don't like really difficult.

Then don't buy it. I'm like you, and I played Dark Souls for like 2 hours before I turned it off forever. Hard isn't even the word for it.
-
Hard was unbeatable NES games back in the day.
Dark Souls is challenging, but never unfairly challenging. Thus making it rewarding. That's why it's extremely acclaimed and popular. Yes, you're going to die a lot but you learn something new every time you do. It creates a really great sense of tension exploring a new area and not knowing what's going to freak you around the next corner. It has some of the biggest and most badass enemy designs of any game i've ever come across.
A lot of it is studying attack patterns. Summoning another player to help you beat bosses is usually a must too, and makes it fun.
-

You're missing out.
There's a difference between lazily jacking up the difficulty to be cheap and frustrating, and making enemies smarter and forcing you to be a little more calculated in your approach.
It sounds intimidating (I thought the same when I bought Demon's souls..the first game in the series), but I don't really recall any of those moments where I wanted to slam my controller on the ground. Actually, scratch that. The only annoying part of the series is enemy players invading your game. It's such an poopchute thing to do, but it can only happen when you're in a certain physical mode....which is the same mode you can summon other players to help you.
-
I don't do online gaming. I tend to go with games like Uncharted, Resident Evil, God Of War and Batman with the difficulty level dialled down; playing out the story, solving puzzles and killing gribblies along the way is what it's about for me. The last thing I want is some snot-nosed 13 year old getting involved in my game.
-
Minecraft had been the source of my procrastination, lately.
It's not good, it's just time consuming. I spent 3 hours making a freaking huge castle out of dirt, 3 hours mining cobblestone and coal, making it into stone and then another 2 hours rebuilding the castle with stone. And it still looks like a 3rd grader drew it....

Terraria is so much better than mine craft. It's like super Nintendo graphics (instead of mine crafts stupid blocky fuzzy crap) and has actual gameplay components other than Legos.
It's ability to create probably isn't as good as mine craft but the action and exploration is way way better

I'll have to try terraria then. Good looking out

It's rare. And you can't talk to each other.
The online aspect is so marginal. I wouldn't let that deter you.
But if you're dialing down difficulties than maybe it isn't for you. I typically play everything right off the bat on hard because most games are just too easy.

Dark Souls really isn't for everyone, nowadays if you're a big fan of games like the last of us and uncharted then chances are you really won't enjoy dark souls. The difficulty isn't the problem, its the steep learning curve. Even hardcore players took time to adjust to the mechanics of a game where its almost entirely your fault if you die.
That being said, it's probably one of the most overlooked action RPG's out at the moment. And there's very few games that give the satisfaction of getting through a difficult encounter like in Dark Souls.
-

Very true. I remember when I was in college and living on my own for the first time, my schedule consisted of:
Video games, school, video games, work, GF, video games, drink, video games, sleep. Repeat.

You played through an entire baseball season in 4 days? No wonder you're already losing interest. How many games are in a season? (I've never played The Show.)

Only really amounts to like 50 innings a season for a rookie pitcher. I average about an hour a day of gameplay. I think today I went 3hrs. Did the entire second season.

Pumped for Watchdogs. But I won't have time to play it for about a month or so.
As a result, as soon as my school year ends, I will be snagging my PS4, Watchdogs and maybe another game or two (infamous probably)

E3 highlight stuff written by a friend of mine.

There was an important announcement embedded within the Sony conference that I think might well be lost in the hoopla of E3. Apparently Far Cry 4 will be a game that you can invite your PSN friends to play with you even if you don't own the disk. It's essentially the opposite of the DRM fiasco from a year ago, and I hope it latches on for developers across the board because it will make stuff infinitely easier and certainly better for the consumers.

maybe some of those cheap downloadable psn mini games, but next gen consoles dont really have a lot of games and they dont really give a excrement about couch multiplayer anymore

Yup what you need to do is have them each bring their Ps4, TV and Headsets, set them up in different rooms, and COD it up

Then again these are Asians were taking about here

I'm just one of those people who think that games were so much better back in my day. Mostly because it's true
I mean Nintendo and SNES go down as two of the greatest consoles of all time. With snes imo as the greatest of all time.
And Gamecube, Wii, and Wii U are just the consoles that are going to put Nintendo out of business. Already saw that happen with Sega

Like what? Because everything I've seen suggests that all 3 consoles were failures.
And there's even been talk about Nintendo moving more into handheld consoles (which they're doing good in) because of how terrible those other 3 were.
And the stuff about sony/Nintendo doing better in Asia than here is pretty clear as well

Wii outsold the Xbox 360 and PS3 by a considerable margin. Wii U has flopped initially but rebounded strongly with Mario Kart 8 and Super Smash/Zelda on the horizon. Gamecube is a mixed bag I think. Created some legendary titles but it was under appreciated.
As far as Mario Kart is concerned the Wii version is on par with N64 and the newest version on Wii U may be the best one yet. Your nostalgia is skewing the info here

Of course the Wii sold more consoles it's cheaper, but profits are made on software not consoles. Matter of fact from what I understand most consoles in recent years are sold at a loss.

You were telling me the consoles were a massive failure which obviously they were not based on sales numbers. If you want to talk about financial loss for the company based on software sales that's not necessarily apples to apples. If Microsoft and Sony had to survive solely on their gaming department they'd be struggling just the same, if not worse.

Haha HKers aren't big drinkers. It's awful.

You were telling me the consoles were a massive failure which obviously they were not based on sales numbers. If you want to talk about financial loss for the company based on software sales that's not necessarily apples to apples. If Microsoft and Sony had to survive solely on their gaming department they'd be struggling just the same, if not worse.
But I'm not talking about an unrelated product line (ie Nintendo t shirt line)
The Wiis success is completely tied to the sales of the games for the Wii. And the same for the Wii U and so forth
I don't know what other areas Nintendo is into, but I think its relatively clear that the Wii and Wii U were not successful by any means.
I don't know the Xboxs 360 financials but I'm relatively certain it did exponentially better than the Wii

You can not include XBOX 360 game sales or Sony PS3 sales since they do not produce their own games outside of a few titles. Nintendo does make most of its own content but I was referencing console sales, not software.

So what? The companies cater to 3rd party producers. The ability to bring in developers and publishers is smart NY Sony and xbox. Nintendos weak hardware and gimmicks with the controllers completely turned off 3rd party game makers.
Video game consoles success is completely dependent on their ability to sell games for them. Otherwise every single console is a failure. Microsoft lost money for every xbox sold, Sony for Playstation, Nintendo for Wii.

Since this is going off on a tangent, my main point is this: The consoles were not some catastrophic failure like the Sega Dreamcast. Wii U was approaching that territory but sales in the past two months are up 600-800%. Those numbers should be steady following E3 and the upcoming titles for Q3/Q4

Maybe not catastrophic. But you're talking about back, to back, to back shitty consoles.
Three generations in a row.
That's pretty significant to me

Do you have data for that? Last I heard, Nintendo had higher sales in even third party games than its competitors, and of course four of the top ten selling games of all time were on the Wii.
I don't like the Wii, but this is the first I've heard of it being a disaster.

Just because they weren't the best selling consoles doesn't make them shitty. Sony and Microsoft went for vertical integration to boost sales. Nintendo stuck with making games.

We have 2 consoles in my house- WiiU and XboxOne. My kids are still very much into the WiiU console and its lineup of games. Until Nintendo decides to license and create software for 3rd party platforms (never happening), they'll keep pushing out a stable of very playable/user friendly Mario/Zelda/Donkey Kong titles. Having just purchased the 2 most recent games, including Mario Kart, I can tell you that the WiiU isn't missing anything in terms of graphics or gameplay for its intended market. Kids under the age of 18 don't give a excrement about frame-rate etc.
-
If console users really gave a excrement about frame rate they'd be PC gamers instead.

Why did you use an article about WiiU and 3DS to respond to my post about the Wii? Nobody is arguing that the Wii U is anything other than a disaster right now. You said the last three were all failures, but you. Can't support that notion for the Wii. Your article is completely irrelevant. I don't care about third party support for the Wii U. I don't care if Nintendo's stock is dwindling as a result. I was simply arguing that the Wii was a success. Sticking strictly to that, the Wii sold as many third party totals as either competing system sold ALL games, and we all know the best selling Wii titles were all first party.
-
The Wii was largely successful because it catered to two markets that Microsoft and SONY don't care to: kids and casual gaming adults.
The biggest problem for Nintendo now is that those two target markets are getting completely sucked in by phones and tablets as gaming devices. Had Nintendo marketed the WiiU as a device along the lines of Windows Phones with XBox, where the gaming tablet was a completely standalone device that you could use with a Wii, I think it would have had far more early success.
Still, the market for 13 and under is still ripe for Nintendo. They're not going anywhere any time soon.

Nah, bro. Wii failed because the Wii U lost third party support. Retroactive failure. Like how MASH had to give all those Emmys and advertiser dollars back because of AfterMASH.

I hate buying new systems early, as I always end up buying another within a year, but I think I am going to get one. I can upgrade BF4 for $10, but I am so pissed with that game and it's flaws. I was hoping Watch Dogs would be a no brainer.

No opinion on the PS4 as of yet. All I've been playing is Fifa and The Show. Graphics seem cool, but I don't notice them as much when playing sports games.

I notice the graphics more in sports games early because they are more likely to take full advantage of the capabilities. FIFA is such a great game on the PS4.

BUT IT PLAYS BLU-RAYS

Does anyone still actually buy, rent or watch DVDs, Blu-Ray or otherwise?

BUT IT PLAYS BLU-RAYS
That's our secondary use. The quality is better than HD downloads.
-
Does anyone still actually buy, rent or watch DVDs, Blu-Ray or otherwise?
Yes. Most of the time it's still cheaper than downloading and the quality is superior. Plus, a lot of downloads are tethered to a service. If that service goes under for any reason, you'll lose access to redownloading the content.
-
It makes sense if you have kids.
-
Does anyone still actually buy, rent or watch DVDs, Blu-Ray or otherwise?
My TV is 3D, plus Blue-ray has way better sound. I don't mind paying for the Blu-ray of a movie I really like. Inception on Blu-Ray with true surround sound is better than the quality you'd get on Netflix.
-

Huh? When I've downloaded it I've downloaded it. It's on my home server and there's no dependency on anything else.

My TV is 3D and plays downloaded 3D content just fine. I play the sound through a pretty high quality Harmon Kardon 5.1 system and don't have any problems with it, assuming I've downloaded a good enough quality copy. I have the movie channels, I have on demand and I have my home network with a media server. There's literally nothing I can't do that DVDs will let me do.

Right, but the odds of having something happen to a file are greater than the odds of having something happen to a disc.
Again, my biggest reasons for buying blu rays are quality and price. I don't buy DVDs any more, and I only buy BRs if it's something I'm sure I want to own.

I like the PS4 more than the XBox One but I've only used the PS4 in a developer context. XBOne I've tried a little as a consumer; not the most intuitive OS I have used.

1. Probably the wrong thread
2. XB One has not yet been released in Japan...or Russian and Poland. That should jump the sales a little bit.
Microsoft doesn't exist as a brand in Japan. They couldn't give Xbox360s away. Besides, the U.S is one of the only countries where gamers actually own multiple systems.

I've heard it doesn't live up to the hype, which is essentially impossible given that it won e3 3 years ago, and the hype has been building since. Essentially it sounds like it became GTA with the ability to hack with a cellphone as well. That sounds like the major complaint, it felt similar to what already existed, yet was supposed to be an insanely new innovation.

Sucks that you can't search by overall rating, but it sort of makes it a bit more realistic.
-
Sucks that you can't search by overall rating, but it sort of makes it a bit more realistic.
It definitely makes it a lot harder to find talent, but it's way more tedious than it should be as well. I don't really know about realistic either, because teams know how good established players are when they buy them.
It'd be better if young players (16-19) had no overall and you had to scout them.
Without overall, I really don't know how much to offer the other clubs, so the transfer process takes such a long time and I only end up with two to three new players...and at least two of them are pretty shitty. I have to scout the dude, ask them how much he's worth, then make the offer (if I can afford it, which is extremely rare in FL2). Takes too long and the window closes quickly.
Not being able to search height/weight is annoying too. Even if the player is trash, I'd still be willing to pay more for a 6'4-6'5 back.

It doesn't live up to the hype, IMO, but it's still a solid game. I like it better than GTA. It's not at monotonous, the shooting controls/camera angels are much better, the driving is about the same, and the game requires much more stealth than GTA. I don't think it's nearly as long, but what it lacks in playable hours it makes up for in quality. You can also accept online challenges mid-game which a pretty cool feature. A ton of stuff to do in the city, and a lot of random side missions that you can choose to accept or decline.
I haven't dug into online yet. I've hardly had the time to play since it came out. I think I've put in about 5 hours since I bought it.

Figured I'd jump in to tell you guys I'm in the Alpha for Destiny.
Potential game of the year. Think Halo plus Borderlands.
Only complaints so far, squad size for story and exploration are limited to 3.
Severe balancing issues in PvP. All you need is shotgun and melee. If your using anything else your at a handicap.
Other than that, this game is really fun. Addicting too with its equipment customization n load out config.
I maxed out two of the three classes. Tangible differences between the two I tried.
I had high expectations n it's the most polished Alpha I've ever played. Just a small portion of what's made available though.

I got into this yesterday as well
Although I've just been contemplating selling it or something
I'm not big on alphas, and wildstar just came out so I've been busy with that
-
How long have you been playing it?
Since Thursday early evening . The Alpha has a level cap of 8. So I max one class out n try the next .
I've done Strike, which is the equivalent of a raid in an MMO. Pretty damn fun.
All I can say is the game is fun, and even better if you play with people you know. For an Alpha , You can tell it's barely scratching the surface, and it's so good that I'm mad I can't do more.
I noticed within the last 24 hours they started adding more over world events. Like NPC factions turning exploration areas into war zones while your looking for quests.
I had high expectations and the Alpha has met all of them.
As long as they address the balance issues in PvP and add more PvP maps that will be fun.
There's at least a tangible difference between classes which is good considering it's the Alpha. I haven't encountered many bugs either
Needless to say I'm going to hate not being able to play it after this weekend

Yeah, so annoying. Took Dag and Red to FL1, but still couldn't find any decent players to make my team better. Also, simming sucks, and I almost always lose every game I sim. I don't have time to play every league match. Ended up getting relegated, and fired after 3 seasons. Oops.

So do I get a PS4 or XBOX one?
I was going to go with the One, no questions asked just because I didn't want to pay for two different internet plans, but then XBOX announced their plan to allow people without gold to still use Netflix and HBO GO. So now I think I'm going PS4. I want a baseball game, I don't like any of the Kinect bs, don't need the ability to look into live tv, and I'm not crazy about any of the XBOX exclusives like Halo or Gears of War.
Thoughts from those who know about this more then I do on which way I should be going?

If you're not crazy about the exclusives then go with the better overall system, the ps4.
I bought wolfenstein yesterday. Solid game.

This. if you have no preference on exclusives, the PS4 has better graphical power, a wider online base currently (2+million systems more in existence than Xbone) and basically gives you free games monthly if you pay for their online services.
Plus, freak Xbox.
-
I've been a big PS guy since my 360 crapped out twice, but I'm thinking about getting an XBOX One because three of the guys I coach with have one and we'd be able to play a fun online franchise in Madden 15.

If you dont care about exclusives, then let the gods of retail sales guide you.
Check http://slickdeals.net/ and http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forum/10-video-game-deals/ maybe once a day, then just buy whatever system theres better deals on.
Ive seen great deals on both xbox one, and ps4 this week.
You could prob nab yourself a ps4 for < 349 + no tax
Or an X1 < 449 no tax
Even a bundle.
I think the best way to decide on a console is
Exclusives > Friends who have the console > quality of the console (they're both relatively equal) > Price > ???
Xbox 1 + forza bundle 429 http://slickdeals.net/f/7016340-brand-new-xbox-one-with-kinect-429

Get the PS4 if you love sucking dick.

Why is the xbox more expensive?

Kinect

They are the same price now because Microsoft is making bundles without Kinect

Ah. I paid like $400 for the PS4 plus the eye. Dunno why I even bothered getting the eye though.
-
PS4 for me. Besides liking the controller more, I love games like Uncharted and The Last of Us.
I usually play Madden for 3/4 of the year in a league that is run on PS4, COD with about 4 or 5 other guys, and a little FIFA and other random titles from time to time. For those games, it just comes down to what system my friends have.

just like most of the excrement I buy on steam, i'll probably never play half of it.
Def will play the Wolf Among Us and TWD Season 2 though. Wolf Among us is made by the same developer as TWD games, so it has the same structure (making decisions within a moments notice that effect the rest of the game, deep story). It's been really critically acclaimed

and if Fenwyr still hasn't gotten Dragon Age ultimate edition, it's $7 (dragon age origins + all dlc + expansion)

Some of the games with Move were great on PS3. It was much better than Kinect. The shooting games that used Move were basically like playing in an arcade. I'm sure they'll employ it before too long.

From what I understand, the human eye can't really detect differences between those TVs and the best of the best of current HD.
Then again I walked by one in a best buy and thought it looked freaking amazing. Was there actually a perceptible difference, or did I simply believe that because it's supposed to look better?
Ultimately I'm no help here I guess.

There is most definitely a difference.
Edit: I should clarify. High end 1080P TVs may outperform low end 4k TVs but that's because the low end models will make sacrifices elsewhere resulting in a lower quality output. That, and there is very little UHD content out there. Most movies, TV, and games will have to upscale to 4k. It may look worse playing XBOX 1 or PS4 on a 4k vs native 1080p because of it.
Best bet to maximize the experience is if you have a high end gaming rig running on a 4k screen. Ultimately it's probably not worth it at the moment. I'd wait until the holiday season, if not longer until going 4k.
-
damn, you guys should definitely pick up The Wolf Among Us.
Telltale has mastered this type of game. Amazing writing (i'm sure having a lot of source material helps) and voice acting. I've only just started playing in it but I spent the entire time hoping the first episode wasn't gonna end anytime soon.
It's on pretty much everything including phones and ipad. i think the next gen versions are about to be released also
I can't wait to see what Telltale does with Game of Thrones. It's the first non shitty or rinky dink 2bit developer that acquired any rights. I bet that could be a huge thing for them branching off into a bunch of different games

Get that game you faggots.
Last episode came out last week. It's already a game of the year candidate from pretty much every video game media outlet.
Started on The Walking Dead Season 2 (episode 4 of 5 comes out next week).
Sick game. Super intense. Lots of thrilling and "oh excrement" moments. Some of the decisions you can make are great because they're often things you already hoping you can do, and the game indulges you. Waiting a month or two between episodes sucks, but I got such a. Good deal on the game I couldn't pass it up.
Michael Madsen does the voice of the main guys. And I noticed one of the characters was voiced by the Pakistani dude from Silicon Valley

10 million dollar prize pool for freaking DOTA2. You know how slow a sports day it was? ESPN's front page was the fuckign WNBA all star game and ESPN3's main sponsored event was this DOTA tournament.
Back when I played quake 2 professionally the max prizes were like 30k for 1st (and this was at its peak..across a whole season) and much lesser amounts for lower places. That was 1 on 1, but still nothing compared to the money now. The smaller tournaments i played in and won were maybe a couple of grand for 1st place.
First place in this excrement gets 5+ million DOLLARS. Which means every person on the team gets around 1.3 million. I was joking with my friend today who also played professionally that we were both born in the wrong time. This was when we were 14-15 and had all the time in the world
1.3 million dollars....to play a freaking game really well (possibly annually)

The only thing that's really annoying about this is there are only small tweaks, if you spent for all the DLC and whatnot on PS3 there is little reason to upgrade.
But if you haven't played this, it's one of the best games ever so get on that excrement.
-
Considering it's one of the best games that's come out in the past few years , it's one of those exceptions where it might be worth to grab for the graphical
Improvements even if you've played it before.
If I had a ps4, I'd buy it but probably would wait till it was on sale.

I'm in the same boat. I wouldn't run out and get it tomorrow if I already owned the PS3 version. However when the price inevitably dips (might be a while since it's one of the only PS4 games worth having/must haves I would jump on the upgrade.

Save your time and money on Diablo
Madden and Destiny will more than fill your time
Unless you got 3 other people to play Diablo with, it's absolutely not worth playing alone

I have at least 3 ppl to play with. I'll be fine. I'll grind out Diablo by the time destiny is out. There's about a dozen ppl I BS with n play games with so there's usually something going on.
I'm actually worried how long destiny is. PvP isn't interesting enough to keep my attention. Hopefully 25 hours story another 20 exploring. Who knows.
DA Inquisition is the game I'm looking forward to the most. Then Witcher 3.
By the end of the year there will be a ton of games out.

I remmeber back in 1995 when the original Playstation came out, we were all at a PC Richards and my dad offered to buy us the PS, which had just come out, as an early Xmas gift. Slim pickings in games. One that stood out was the Street fighter Movie Game. I told him not to bother, and just let us pick out some SNES games instead.
I had more sense as a 14 year old, and was less impulsive it seems.

Went to visit my brother, he has wolf among us and TwD season 2. Powered through both this weekend. freaking awesome.
I liked TWD:1 but the second season gives this utter feeling of intense hopelessness that's just awesome, so many great intense moments, can't wait to see how it ends.
The wolf among us, was freaking fantastic. It was a great mystery that had a few twists and turns, and ultimately it was a great thing to have to decide who the real villain was, the "bad guy" or the Govt, also a great twist ending. Ultimately it has next to no relevance (as to the future), and is purely a way to keep a sense of mystery alive and end on a note of pure wonderment. But it makes the episode title "Cry Wolf" perfect, because nobody in their right mind would believe Bigby if he told them what he thought really happened.
In the event they make a 2nd season, which I'm sure they will given all the success, I wouldn't be surprised to see it left alone altogether and the players imagination has to draw the final conclusion.
Both great games, and as a result, Telltale games has catapulted itself to the top of a lot of gamers must-play anything by them lists.

Just outta curiosity since I'd imagine Madden would be big on football boards
Has anyone seen any deals on madden 15 pre-orders?
Every single year as far as I can remember there's been like a million deals on it. Most always 15-25$ gift cards or credit with pre-orders for it.
I've seen absolutely nothing whatsoever this year, which is oddly bizarre.

Ok, so if your a fan of film or good writing, big news.
Hideo Kojima (creator and writer of the Metal Gear Solid franchise)
And
Guillermo Del Toro
Are writing/directing a reboot of the Silent Hill franchise. The lead chadacter is being played by Norman Reedus.
Yesterday a random game PT was announced and the demo went live on Playstation store.
So this thing has gone viral, scariest experience I've had with a game. The rendering is nuts, totally immersive as far as ambience and soundtrack usage to just creep you out.
This demo had fake glitches and bugs and was a total mindfuck. So turns out not every game is the same in the demo. It's basically a never ending nightmare loop in a house where each time it starts over, it gets worse and worse.
You have to do some cryptic things and then some of the hallucinations eventually lead you to completing the demo, which then shows a shirt trailer for the game revealing it is, in fact, Silent Hill.
Silent Hills - P.T. 2014 Gamescom Trailer: http://youtu.be/HvZ09gERgw4

Dat new Silent Hills game trailer tho.

Dat new Silent Hills game trailer tho.
I have a ps4 I was lucky enough to play the demo as soon as it went live.
Look up PT Gameplay, no videos are the same as in most horror games have static triggers programmed into them. This still has some but they're almost on a random loop at yimes. It's hard to describe.
But I played it in party chat with like 6 ppl listening to me. We all laughed at how I was reacting. Screaming n saying oh hell nah freak this about a million times. And one moment i let out a legit scream.
Few other guys tried to play it n quit a cple minutes in. I played up until the cryptic parts most people get stuck .
I'd tell you some of the freaky parts but only playing it n hearing it live do it justice
-
Btw the graphics seem photorealistic at times. It's insanely immersive
-
Is it PS4 only?
-
Is it PS4 only?
Nothing has been confirmed but most of the team working on it appears to be Japanese, an offshoot of Konami I would imagine if Kojima is heading the project.
So it might be? Another guess is a timed exclusive to port the game over to XB1
Probably designed for ps4 and developed by a Japanese studio and will be ported to XB1 later if I had to guess.
I only say this cause unless the studio is owned by Sony or Microsoft, exclusives cost a ton of money to negotiate.
Some say yes, others don't know. The demo is certainly ps4 exclusive though, which is the cause of the ps4 exclusive speculation

Sounds like this vid "Outlast" from last year. I gots to get that one too.
-

lol no, this shits on Outlast. but Outlast is pretty good. not amazing, its a solid PC port.
PT is way better graphically and it adds to the immersion which adds to the teror. and the demo was much less based on static triggers in programming for scares. PT just plain fucks with your head with perfect ambient noise and some very creepy imagery and sidestory. even in its short demo.
sad part is since this is Silent Hill, i dont know how much of the game will be like this demo in first person versus some 3rd person action with horror as a bonus. but the demo itself was creepy as excrement. but i played in a pitch black room which definitely helped

what's the deal with this Destiny game?
-
game cost $500 million to make, $75 mill more than avatar, the most expensive movie in Hollywood history. developed by Bungie, who develops Halo, produced by activision, who makes call of duty
-
Its a first person shooter? Ugh. Thought it was gonna be like mass effect or so,ething. Not a fan of FPS.

Solo and Co-Op MMO FPS with plenty of RPG aspects thrown in.

Destiny is incredible. It's hard to describe.. Halo meets futuristic Fallout with some elements of World of Warcraft.
Just buy it

I had zero interest in Destiny until I saw the commercial last night. Now I'm intrigued.

And if you buy Destiny digitally on Xbox 360, you get the Xbox one version for free.
In the case that you decide to later upgrade.
Or something like that, I'd Google it to check

Apparently after all the hype Destiny had originally gotten. The general consensus is its not very good.
I own it and I'd have to agree.
It doesn't do really enough to be great at any one niche. It's mmo elements are quite frankly terrible. It's rpg elements are meddling at best. It doesn't have a great or creative loot system like borderlands or Diablo. The fps action doesnt come close to any major fps.
It basically had a great concept, but never executed any of the components well.
It's really a shame this game will almost certainly never come close to its potential

Destiny is about an 8/10 or 8.5
It was good for me cause I didn't buyou the hype knowing it kinda is a jack of all trades, but master of none.
Still fun though, almost lvl 28, my clan is a tight knit group n were working on the vault of glass raid on Venus .
But once that is over it'll be countdowns to new raids and the expansions.

Dragon Age Inquisition has co op play that can benefit your single player campaign. Looks like DA meets Diablo.
This is my most anticipated game aside from The Division , FF XV, and Citizens Of Earth
-
For anyone who is a fan of Earthbound (one of my favorite all time RPGs) a game called Citizens Of Earth cones out in November for 15 bucks. It openly says it's a homage to Earthbound. Kickstarter failed to reach its 100k goal, but Atlus stepped in to publish it.
I'm so happy at Sony's effort to promote these indie game's. I think it'll be on PC, Wii U, 3DS, and PS4

They've made no bones about it, even the opening scene is a tribute to Chrono Trigger.
A nod to Suikoden series for recruit able characters with unique skills.
It's essentially a heavy dose of Earthbound and a homage to a lot of JRPGs I played growing up.
I just found about it last week. 30+ hours is the word right now. So at 15 bucks I'm excited. I watched a couple hours of gameplay and the nostalgia/earthbound factor is off the charts.
From recruiting a chick at a famous coffee franchise named Moonbucks to your brother working for the parcel service FedUps.
Lol if you recruit the homeless guy he can dig through trash can fit you lol

but ill absolutely be playing it

K, I'm definitely excited about shadows of mordor. Also citizens of earth sounds interesting.
I actually just started Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the white witch this morning. Really a fan of it so far. Some familiar rpg elements, but some different stuff shown in the early stages, it got rave reviews and was $20 so I said what the hell. The art style is awesome, watching a cutscenes it looks like a cartoon of sorts, and nothing like its a video game.

I was lucky enough to snag the Wizards Edition of Ni No Kuni, 120 retail ended up going for over 600 bucks on ebay due to a huge freak up and 1000+ cancellations due to insufficient inventoty. It's still in the ups box it was delivered in lol.

Picked up Destiny on launch night and despite the lack of content I'm still really into it. The way to extend gameplay is to just try and level up all 3 classes to 30, which should take a really long time. It's just so pretty and runs so smoothly for a FPS. Plus co-op is still fun.
Anyone playing Madden for PS4? This years edition is the game is the best one in quite some time. Way way wayyyyyyyy upgraded over last years absolute freaking piece of excrement.

I think it was Heismanberg I was talking to about this. This is the best the game has been since the invention of the hit stick.
What more can they really do to help the game move forwards? They need to keep refining the physics engine and the offseason still needs some improvements, but for actual gameplay, I'm not sure what more they can do.

Allow me to "be that guy" but you spent $60 on the game, might as well grind it for at least a little while and try and see if (in your opinion) it improves as you get in a little deeper, or else it's a complete waste on money, and that would just pee me off.
It should be known I'm not really an FPS guy, and as such don't own destiny or plan on owning it any time soon.

People bought the hype. At first glance I thought it was a GoTY candidate. After extended time with the beta and an absurd amount of time playing, it's a good game. But nothing more.
I'm just shy of level 28 and have a solid clan and we beat the living excrement out of the game. After patching the loot cave and nerfing the Queens missions so you can't breakdown armor for shards the game forces you back into PvP Crucible or Strike playlists and Patrol grinding
I got the the limited edition so I'm holding out hope they can keep content coming
But with a plethora of great games between mordor on Tues until march 15 destiny will be a side game.
8.5 is what I'd give it.
-
The only thing I can gripe about destiny is that the story is boring and formulaic. I'm used to playing game like COD and Halo and not giving 2 shits about the story, so it doesn't really bother me. I've yet to play in a fireteam, which is what I bought the game for

I have no problem putting an hour or 2 in every now and again but it's not something that would keep my interest.
To me its a jack of all trades and a master of none.

For all you Madden players on PS4, I'm in a really active SIM league that advances three times a week on CCM. Still some teams open if you guys want to get in on this. Really good rule structure so fags don't roll out every other play and manipulate the AI/cheese statistics/run the same "money" play over and over.
Between The Last of Us Remastered, Destiny and Madden not to mention the obligatory two to three week break thats going to come with having to study for finals, I'd say I'm all set to ride out the winter until ESO gets here.
-
I just don't have the patience for games like I used to. Even The last of us. Great game but I haven't touched it in weeks. I lose interest very quickly.
-
Wife is moving down to Toronto for work while I remain here, at least for the next few weeks until we can sell the house. As a result I will be spending my weeks working, training and playing videogames.
Is it worth getting a PS4 yet, or as a casual gamer am I best off just sticking to my PS3?

it depends on what games you want
if you haven't played any of the Uncharted games, just get those for PS3

Depends on what you play, and your interest level. PS4 has a handful of really great gaming experiences out, Madden, Last of Us Remastered, InFamous: Second Son, Watch Dogs, Destiny and some others.
Some of them are still available for the PS3 but their next gen version is another level of great.

To my knowledge the PS4 doesn't have any games yet that are similar to those games.
Too your previous question Uncharted 4: A Thiefs End will be PS4 only, but it's probably at least a year away from release date. Honestly I'd expect sometime in November/December 2015 release date. So if that's your only Ps4 interest right now, I wouldn't spend the money to upgrade yet.

I put up the Kotaku.com review and the 7 min live action trailer a couple pages back.
After crushing Destiny this will be a great change of pace. I enjoy a non canon, what if scenario with an IP as stiff on lore as LoTR.
The Nemesis system is the first true next gen gaming concept gamers have been offered.

I don't finish anything. Not only did I not finish The Last of Us, but I actually then traded it in to get the PS4 upscaled version and I haven't even opened it. My wife picked up Destiny saying "I thought you'd like this". I was like "When the freak do you think I'm going to play this?" It's been sitting around the past couple of weeks untouched.

Haha. There are only a few games that can keep me engaged until the end. Fallout, those elder scrolls games, and mass effect. And total war.

I'm exactly the same. Then I'll come back to it a few months later, decide that I have to start again from the very beginning so as to get the proper full experience, then not finish it again.

It's an NIS game, so really only caters to hardcore. To me it looks like a strategy game made for ps3 a couple years ago that's getting ported to ps4.
Haven't played it but looks a bit hit or miss.
Another sleeper might be Lords Of The Fallen game. Looks like a Dark Souls clone.
I'm getting Mordor and then prolly just gonna ride out that and Madden till November.
The Evil Within looks freaking insane though. Might have to get that just for Halloween nostalgia

You just have to go to 2K Share to get the updated rosters.
Connecting to play against someone online is what the main issue is. I don't want to do that because everyone will use Cleveland and be cheap as freak with them.

The nice thing about the expansions is you don't have to worry too much about getting hooked again.
Pretty much every expansion involves bingeing for a month, sparingly playing for another.
Then completely forgetting about the game for the next 10 months or so until the next one.
That said they said the exact same thing about the last expansion. How cool it would be for all the old areas to get changed and updated etc etc. I doubt any future expansions will be anything particularly special

I can't believe that game is still around.

I played it, alot, for a long time. I haven't played seriously in quite a while, but up till like 10-12 months ago i would play one or twice a week in the evening running a dungeon or leveling a toon. but i lost interest and just stopped logging on.
alot of the changes seem cool, ill most liekly give it a try since it gives you a level 90 toon of any class when you upgrade. most im out is 40 bucks

The new mechanics showed off in the gameplay demo, and the more 'open' the environment is just adds an incredible amount of new options to combat and stealth. I have no idea where the story is going to stack up compared to the first 3, but this game mechanics wise is going to be such an amazing step up, it's going to be absolutely endlessly fun to play. Shame it appears that it will be the last entry in the series, or at least it appears that's what ND would prefer anyways. Sometimes the cash cow just needs to be milked to death, so it may get another installment down the line.

I've described it from the start as a lot more "Assassin's Creed: Thedas" than Dragon Age. If you like Assassin's Creed, you'll probably like DA:I. I'm only a few more days from making the decision to return it to Gamestop for the guaranteed $30.
Also, I don't know what system you're planning to play it on, but it hiccups on the 360.

Bioware did that with Dragon Age: Inquisition. It's the right thing to do. As for Witcher 3, it probably makes sense to perfect it. It's the last installment CD Projekt Red is working on in the series, and they will likely want to go out on a high note to carry them forward with their next project.

Why are game guides even necessary in the Internet age?
99% of the time I don't buy guides anymore. With Bioware games I generally do though because there are so many side quests and I'm a completionist. It's a PITA to google every single time I need to find some tiny object hidden on a ledge at the farthest corner of the map. It's easier to look up the quest name in the index, then flip to the page with the detailed answer.
Except the answers in this guide are anything but detailed.

So what does the Lizard Squad get out of all of this?

The same member said that the group wanted to make a point about cyber security by exposing the companies' weaknesses. “Taking down Microsoft and Sony networks shows the companies’ inability to protect their consumers and instead shows their true vulnerability,” they said.

If you, or anyone else, is interested: Toys R Us is currently running a promotion through Friday or Saturday where if you trade in an old console, you get $100 off an Xbox One. I'm considering doing it, since I figured that's the price I'd wind up paying next year when the price finally comes down.

Best Bi is running a similar promotion, and I gave it some thought -- But since there's no backwards compatibility, and I still have a slew of 360 games, I'm going to keep the x-box 360 in the bedroom, and use it as a Netflix machine, occasional gaming console.

I've been playing Dragon Age since release day on and off. The main storyline is great, but it takes about 20 hours of gameplay to start picking up. Also, once you get past the ~30 hour mark and a big event, there is a lot of slowdown (I have spent the last 5 gameplay hours just talking).
This probably assumes you do all of the side-questing/RP stuff in between main plot sequences, but it's absolutely required that you do some non-plot missions in order to be able to advance the actual story.
It's visually stunning, very engaging, and the controls are good once you get the hang of them, but it's probably my least favorite overall Bioware game.
-
dragon age inquisition is excellent. There's a reason it's basically cleaning house on GOTY awards
Alio's commentaries on most things tend to be pretty outside the consensus. Just a disclaimer To read a variety of opinions on the game first for anyone else interested.
IMHO the game gets good really fast. It was masterfully done and I love the whole macro aspect of running what is basically a para military group.
You can sink 110 hours or so easily in a single play through.
The areas are huge, the quests and Easter eggs are very engaging and the dialog is well written.

Dragon Ages multiplayer was absolute complete excrement.
One of the most wildly lacking I've ever played. The pay to win freaking trash is infuriating.
I can easily see the appeal of why someone thinks it's a fantastic game (the single player), but that type single player doesn't do it for me personally
So I ended up being disappointed with the game
-
Complaining about dragon age's multiplayer is like complaining about mass effect 3's multiplayer. It's a stupid reason to play the game.
EA has had this "add multiplayer to wveerything even when it doesn't belong" philosophy.
Bioware games aside from tOR has never been about multiplayer.
I hate multiplayer anything unless it's co op against the computer or localized with friends. Playing against people who can play all day and night isn't fun in any capacity.

Well coop was supposed to be a pretty big thing with it. But not only was it some half assed garbage, but it was half assed pay to win garbage.
EA is just a terrible freaking company
-
I see a lot of people rave about the Dragon Age multiplayer. I hate multiplayer anything myself so I haven't even considered playing it. I only played the Mass Effect MP a few times with a friend and no one else. It was way too hard for just the two of us though, so we gave up.

Watched the trailer. If he you are just slaughtering innocent people that's pretty fucked up. I suppose if you just pretend they are all zombies it could be fun.

I just don't get it being fucked up. Everyone I have ever known who plays GTA ends most play session with a mindless killing spree.
-
You guys have to stop thinking logically. If someone is going to go on a kill spree it aint because of a video game. However, that isn't going to stop the lemmings from saying as much.
excrement for years they blamed kids violence on Buggs Bunny, freaking Looney Tunes cartoons. Lol people are stupid.
That said, it's a pretty violent video game, yeesh.

figured this was just as good a topic as any...
how is the browser on the PS4 and/or XBOne? I'm gonna get one and use it as a replacement for my cable box(since they both have netflix and hulu built in, iirc). I just need a browser that can run flash.
-

In GTA that is an option, and granted was great for relieving some stress, but not a mandatory thing you do to 'win' the game.
My point is that if 'kill X number of innocent people to get to the next level' is the objective, that is pretty weak.
Speaking of weak, the general game play (not including the cut scenes and zoom in fatalities) looks like something from the late 90's.

Never said you did, but those are the exact people that are going to blame the event on the game when it inevitably happens and are most likely the people against the game in the first place.

The browser on both works but is kind of annoying. I wouldn't recommend using the browsers for anything that involves considerate effort

PS Plus because you get free games every month (some great, and some pretty meh) for $50 a year.
Shadows of Mordor if you are remotely interested in lord of the rings, both NBA2k15 and Madden are good sports games this year, NBa is significantly better, if you enjoy hoops.
Just some ideas.

I have PS Plus now on the PS3 - I'll keep it forever, it's pretty awesome.
I have NBA2K15 on the PC, got about 40 hours in. Great game. I'll pick up a used copy of Madden.

I have only done the first two heists so far and it isnt bad. The 2 biggest problems right now are the servers are having trouble with all the people and if one person fails/dies etc. the entire job is failed for everyone. That being said, if you have a group of people to play with, Id say go for it. Playing with randoms has its issues. The first heist is pretty damn easy

If you're only going to use it for apps why not buy a used PS3 or Xbox 360 from GameStop? Or did you also want it to play occasional games?
I have 4 used 360s (from Gamestop) and all of them work great. We had a couple that didn't work and they gave us no problem at all exchanging them.
Actually, by now, Gamestop probably even has the PS4 (and Xbone) used.

Good point. But I want to be able to play here and there.

If you have an old ps3/xbox 360 you can trade it in and get one for 175$ off at gamestop
Otherwise I'd check slickdeals, there's console deals every day almost

I just got mine from Amazon for $400 - it came with three games.
Amazon is good because, fast shipment and accountability if you have any issues. Gamestop used is around $360. If you don't care about the included games this is probably your safest best.

Newegg you don't pay taxes on, so that's like 40$ off the top

I don't see a 3 game bundle on there now. Post the link if its still on there.
I'm looking at one too and the best bundles I've found were on Walmart. I was able to put one together that came with two games and two controllers for $429 plus tax.
Would be happy to be shown something better than that.

Is it developed well as a single player or is it more focused on multiplayer (like COD)

It's basically a fancy version of cops and robbers. Each mode (except for Team Deathmatch) has rounds and you get to be each side twice.
There's hostage rescue, car heists, cash grab heists (almost like capture the flag), and then a VIP assassination mode.
I haven't played the single player mode. It is meant to be played online.

XBOX One is the system I play on

Hardline is fun.
I like doing the car mode.
Rolling 4 deep while blasting Run The Jewels or KRS One on the in car radio and wrecking excrement. Lol

I don't have it but I've watched friends play it. It's basically a faster version of the Demon/Dark Souls games. Which is what that franchise needed. It looks fun but even more dying in loved than its predecessors

Multiplayer monster hunter clone. I figure I'd get more playtime out of it

I downloaded Neverwinter (I actually was invited for the Beta too) but I don't have Xbox Live Gold so I can't (couldn't) play. It's not really FTP if you have to pay the XBLG sub. I've debated getting Gold again, but I'm not sure it's worth it for just one game. Everything else I need XBL for (Netflix, Hulu, Prime) works on the free version.

I'm not sure how XBL Gold compares to PS+ but I've had PS+ for about 2 years and it's well worth it. The games they give out monthly and discounts are fantastic.

Been playing H1Z1 lately, it's alright. I most likely wont play it once it goes live though...
In Alpha you can do unlimited Battle Royales, which is the best mode. But once it goes live, or perhaps even come beta, they plan on charging $1 per Event Ticket, which is required to enter a BR. There's no freaking way I'm paying that, considering theres many instances where you die within 5 minutes of the game starting. freak that.
I don't do Steam much, but is there any way to trade games I bought for others? I can't figure that excrement out...I wanna try and score ARMA 3 or CS:GO, something I'll not have to pay to use.

There's definitely a grind but I'm a casual gamer so it doesn't affect me much. I play with a few friends, if I were playing solo I would have shelved it months ago. The DLC's and changes have really helped the game, the Bungie team has been good about working with the players

It's uncharted it will be universally loved unless they do something insane, which might be a good thing. But given the craziness involved from other competition it might not win E3 like you'd normally expect.

Arkham Knight is available on both systems.

Hype never changes.
Supposedly FO4 takes place in Boston -- hopefully there's a Megaton type place in Foxboro stadium complete with un-exploded nuke in the center -- with the option of activating. 8)

I'd rather they focus on just single player mode. A lot of resources get wasted on multiplayer.

I wouldn't get a ton of use out of it but I have to think a co-op campaign would make many fans very happy.

Bloodborne is the best console game I've played in the last few years if you're into action RPGs.
Then again I'm more of a PC Guy so I don't play many console games but did get a ps4 just for bloodborne.

Microsoft announced that by Christmas, 100 Xbox360 titles will be available on the One. There will be 360 total games eventually available for backwards compatibility! You won't have to re-pay for the games either. If you ordered the original through XBL, it'll be available for download, otherwise you put the original disk in, and it'll download the game then check to make sure you have the disk when you play the title.
Gamestop trade-in credit here I come!

When I had XBL, I downloaded every single GwG available. Then I'd immediately delete it. Once you've "purchased" a game, it's yours forever and you can download it again later. I'm not even sure what games I have from doing that. Either way, I've got loads of 360 titles sitting around to play.

If you still have a PS3 or an XBOX 360 and you're more than a casual gamer, you aren't coughing up money for new games. You're getting old derriere, used games at Gamestop.
Upgrade. It's worth it.

Gta 5 sold over 45million copies
Only around 10 million were on ps4 and xbox one.
Not sure of that's 10 million total or each. But eitherway you can see that being next gen exclusive would cripple sales

GTA V came out before the PS4 and Xbox One. Plenty of people bought it before the next gen consoles. That was also initial release. There's no reason to make a game like Fallout 4 shitty just to port it to PS3.

Didn't call of duty, assassin's creed and all those excrement franchises launch on both next and last gen

People had already finished the offline stories by then on the old consoles.
I'm pretty sure a lot of people bought it again on the next gen systems for Heists and online gameplay.
-

No. It came out before, and they didn't want to release it for next gen until they had time with the dev kit to make it great.
Fallout 4 has been designed for the new consoles. There is zero reason to port it backwards.
-

The games which came out at the same time as the system likely did. They would have been developed on old console kits and then ported forward. The reverse makes no sense.

Here's the bottom line:
Fallout 3 came out almost exactly 2 years after PS3 was released.
Fallout 4 is coming out almost exactly 2 years after PS4 was released.
Should Fallout 3 have been on PS2 as well?

Pretty sure Modern Warfare 2 was released at least 5 years ago.
A year window is right for a final crossover release for an annual franchise. They are in development on it at launch, and it's not quite as broadly adopted at that point as you'd like. That's why sports games do the same thing. Fallout is entirely different. The games are meant to push the new tech, not just perpetuate a series.

I think this is the only time Fallout and Call of Duty are going to be mentioned in the same breath.

Battlefield hardline? That came out relatively recently
Resident evil 2 whatever the freak revelations
Destiny
I agree with with your point that fallout is about the new tech though
But franchises spilling over to 360/ps3 still happens some

All those games are significantly worse on the older consoles. FPS mechanics are all the same so that makes it a ton easier than a game like fallout which would have to sacrifice entire parts of the map most likely.
Not to mention all the bugs huge open games like this always have while only being focused on one set of consoles.

Battlefront looks like a "call in sick on release date" game.
As for the next-gen vs. gimmie-new-games-on-my-old-box argument, at some point the tech moves on. I don't see anyone whining that no one is making games for their original Xbox anymore. It sucks that your old machine isn't being supported anymore. Sorry. The One and 4 have been out for like a year and a half. It's like Pope illustrated where you're basically asking someone to support your WinXP machine today.
My big regret was getting Dragon Age for the 360 a month before my wife surprised me with a One. The game is far better looking on the One. I won't be buying any more new games for 360. Now with backwards compatibility I'll probably even trade in my old 360s for Ones.
-

I'm not. Someone else brought it up, I just said it makes sense because a lot of people own last gen and they can substantially increase sales that way

freak last gen why should my new gen experience that I paid hundreds of dollars for be handicapped because developers need ti water it downso it works for last gen?

I enjoyed all 3, but for whatever reason 9 was my favorite of the 3. I think 8s story was the most whacked out, despite having only human main characters. 7 has great moments and was legendary for its time, but I don't think it's story is that great compared to other FFs.
I actually prefer the turn based FFs to the non-turnbased ones (13 and up) probably because the stories were better, the leveling system was more entertaining and what not. But I always felt like there was basically zero strategy to 90% of battles in 13. Where as in the previous ones, you could at least challenge yourself to beat baddies different ways in the same amount of time, unlike 13 where 'auto battle' or whatever it was called was infinitely faster, if not the most useful mechanics for fighting.

freak ps3 and 360.
Ps4 and Xone already hold back development specs cause of hardware
ps3 and 360 can't handle any of the new games coming out. And the quality of development shouldn't be held back by decade old hardware
I have a ps4, just sold my ps3 to a friend loaded with ps plus games, a 3ds, a Wii U, a ps TV for vita games and just built a PC.
Actually my first in a decade. I use the ps4 for all multiplayer games and my PC for single player.
Yes, my nerdy derriere pre ordered a Pip Boy Edition .

I think some news that got overshadowed is
South Park Stick of Truth gets a sequel, Bethesda rebooting Doom, Tales Of series finally on ps4,
The Division gets a release date. This has been my most anticipated game since it first was revealed 2 years ago. This and Fallout 4 babbie.

Well it went from Interplay/Black Isle studios, they were working on Fallout 3 and the companies shut down.
Then Bethesda bought the IP and basically made it Elder Scrolls engine with Fallout lore n story.
I do agree, 1 and 2 were much more difficult. Any old school isometric. RPG is made for hardcore gamers.
Check out Wasteland 2 on PC. Made by most of the ppl from 1 and 2.
The irony is Wasteland influenced Fallout . But since Bethesda owns the IP now the original Fallout ppl just basically made their original vision of Fallout 3 but used the defunct Wasteland IP lol.
Also, Pillars Of Eternity is basically Baldurs gate on roids.
Both great games

I loved Fallout 1 to 3. New Vegas was a dissappointing effort imo. felt like they slapped it together quickly cause of Fallout 3 momentum while they simultaneously were finishing Skyrim

I really enjoyed New Vegas, but I am a little biased. It didn't feel rushed to me at all, but it was basically a glorified FO3 expansion pack.

New Vegas was made by Obsidian, not Bethesda. they're usually the crew that comes in and uses an existing engine to make a sequel / follow up. Like they did for Bioware with KotoR and KotoR 2

From what I've seen the gameplay isn't very exciting. But the size, scope, scale and magnitude of this game is going to change the way games are developed IMO and it's going to be the first of this type of game and it's going to be a humongous part of history. That alone is going to make it a must play game IMO.

I was thinking the same. The 'limited multiplayer' will eventually be a turnoff, but if they could manage to have tens of thousands of people playing in the same universe it could be truly epic. The way the universe builds itself based on algorithms with an adjustable rule set... Should be groundbreaking at the very least, the next great leap in game development at the very best.

I tend to think it will be more groundbreaking this time around because the gameplay honestly looks meh. But when you attach this self developing universe to a game with ridiculous gameplay mechanics and is just flat out fun to play?
hell imagine if COD went and used their technology to build an infinite collection of maps? That would be pretty much unbelievable and truly shocking to the world. I don't even enjoy COD but it would basically take over the world.

I was off work yesterday and picked up Arkham Knight. I've liked all of the Batman games so far (yes including City & Origins) but Knight disappointed me a bit. It's like the others story-wise, so that's okay. The "cutscenes" are the same style as the previous games, so that's cool too. The fight mechanics are the same and for once you don't have to re-acquire all of the tools Batman has already had (though you still upgrade them) so that's great too.
But the Batmobile is infuriating to me. It appears (from Twitter at least) to be a very polarizing feature of the game. I don't play racing games. I'm not good at the controls. I'm terrible at driving around the Batmobile and it's required for a number of missions.

Between road to the show and the online franchise I'm in, I can't put it down and thats even with cooling off on Diamond Dynasty. There's a gameplay quirk here and there that'll show up and pee me off, but the game is so well made.
ESO's console port has been phenominal. Was a real pain in the derriere downloading the update though.
-
I uninstalled GTA SA a few years back because I couldn't fly the planes.
I got a little better at driving the Batmobile last night and I've sunk some XP into upgrades to the weapons system so it's a little better now, but it still bothers me that they added a completely new genre of game to the title.
Things like adding multiplayer to a series bugs me because I know development resources get spent there and I'm never interested in MP. I'm forgiving of that when there are no traces in solo campaigns though (Bioware is good at keeping the two separate). When you shoehorn in a completely different genre and force it to be part of the main game is when I have far less patience.

It can be done, one of my friends is an RN, when he's not working 12 to 14 hour shifts he has a few days off in between hell ish 3 or 4 day on call achedules.
He can put in 12 hours a day on a game just as easy.

I haven't watched more than an inning of baseball in a few years and I'm addicted to the show now. Wish those guys could make a football game.
They could if they wanted. The exclusivity deal with.NFL and EA is done.
Hell Joe Montana is behind a new football game. he was promoting it's development last yr. But I haven't heard excrement.
Baseball is like my 3rd or even 4th favorite sport, yet The Show is possibly my favorite sports franchise.
If they made a football game , there's some serious potenfial. With the foothold EA has though I'm sure most publishers don't want to drop the kinda dough it'd take on a new IP to compete with Madden.
Who knows

Funny they were promoting it like it was bigger than mobile platform.
Either way, publishers are free to the NFL License, thing is I actually like where Madden is heading for the first Time in a decade.
So I'm not bloodthirsty for another football franchise like most.

I plan on playing that after I finish Dragon Age: Inquisition, Batman: Arkham Knight, Witcher 2 and Kingdoms of Amalur (which I stopped to start Dragon Age). Hopefully I'll catch up before Star Wars: Battlefront.
How do you have 120 hours to dedicate to a video game? How old are you?
I'm just over 120 hours into Inquisition. Granted, I've been playing sporadically since release day back in November, but still. I think I have over 120 in Amalur too but it's been months since I played.
They could if they wanted. The exclusivity deal with.NFL and EA is done.
I didn't know that. I'd love to see 2K football return. I loved the ESPN football games.
Why so defensive? I wasn't judging. Personally I could never devote that much time, unless it's a game like civilization or total war where I end up playing like 10hrs straight overnight.
That's the key. Why is any game different?
On Father's Day I woke up around 6AM (long before anyone else). I was still playing Dragon Age at 1 in the afternoon. On nights there is no team I watch on TV (or they're getting blown out), I play from around 8PM until I can't keep my eyes open.

I don't think it's true that the deal between EA and the NFL is over. Last year they said the deal had a few more years left.

Checking out he rookie madden ratings. Leonard Williams is gonna be a beast and Mariota is gonna be the go to QB for cheesers.
Rocket League on ps4 has been surprisingly addictive for such a simple concept. Anyone with PS+ should give it a try while it's free this month.

Got my PS4 yesterday and played several hours of Arkham Knight. Very similar to the previous Batman titles which is a good thing, not really having too much of an issue with the Batmobile although combat can be a little annoying. Got very frustrated with the helicopter boss last night, had to give up and go to bed.

Have you done the Riddler challenges yet? They make me want to throw my controller through the TV, especially on the final one. I finally gave up on it because it was just too ridiculous.
I'm fairly good with the Batmobile on the street, but on the last fight I had against the drones I had to turn off the game. I was fighting for what seemed like 10 minutes and my son says "Oh, look, it tells you how many drones are left." I asked "So how many do I have left?" thinking it had to be 2 or 3. He says "20." I said "Seriously?!" He said "Yeah..." I didn't last much longer after that.

So my brother called me out of the blue last night and tells me I need to go to gamestop ASAP and get my hands on Zero-Escape 999 for the DS. He tells me it's a decent puzzle game for play purposes, but that the story was fantastic and one of the best games he's ever played.
He tells me it's a 'minor' game in terms of the grand scheme of things but was absolutely worth it to track it down.
Anybody ever played it?

It's just called 999. I own the game and I had to search because of the Zero-Escape name, which apparently appeared on Japanese imports or something.

Halfway through the Riddler challenges, nothing too frustrating thus far. I'm quite enjoying the Batmobile combat as well, although the Cobra fight on Founders' Island is a bitch.

The people at Operation Sports are nearly done with the roster update for NCAA 14, which I'm guessing at least a couple people here still play. There's a version available now, but they said August 1 should be a done deal (for both PS3 and 360).

I've been basically taking care of my mother lately so I haven't had any time to play, but I finally got good at the Batmobile. It's a much better game once you can control it. I finished that Riddler challenge which was nice. I still have a lot overall to do though. I doubt I'm going to complete the entire game, so I'll just go to YouTube to see the "full" ending once I finish the incomplete ending. Overall, the game is good.

I've done everything bar the Riddler challenges, they have annoyed me in every game of the series so I'm not going to waste my time with them now. You can finish the game without them though, you only need to complete four of the Most Wanted challenges to unlock Knightfall. Do Lamb To The Slaughter, Friend In Need, Heir To The Cowl and Creature Of The Night if you just want to get it done, they're by far the quickest and easiest missions.

Really? I already finished Two-Face, Penguin, Catwoman, and I have one Firefly left. I was under the impression that the only way to get the full ending was to be 100% complete before the end.

I think so, I think that's when it gave it to me. Catwoman is no good, you have to do all the Riddler challenges to complete that task. That's the only one I didn't do.
Edit: apparently it's 7 missions, so on top of the main Arkham Knight do three of the ones I said plus Firefly, Two-Faced Bandit and Gunrunner (two of which you've done). There's a second ending as well but you have to complete 100% of the game, and freak doing 200+ Riddler puzzles.
-
Alio, have you played Shadow Of Mordor? Seems like it would be right up your alley - it's very similar to the Arkham engine, but it's all swords and orcs and stuff. It's not bad, although a little samey for my liking.

Yeah, the 100% ending is the one I was talking about. I thought you were saying I could get it with just a few missions completed. Like I said, there's no way I'm playing 100% of the game. Like you said, freak the Riddler puzzles.

It's fun and everything, and for a more committed and experience RPGer than me it's probably awesome, but I really like to play through the story of a game and then maybe go back and play the side quests. It's becoming fairly apparent though that in order to play the story through to its conclusion there's little alternative but to do a lot of grinding through a lot of side quests to level up your various weapons and skill. It might be better suited to you as I think you're a rather more serious gamer than me; there's no diffculty option so it's not even like I can bump it down a notch to find my level.

That actually makes the game more intriguing to me. I'm generally a completionist--especially in RPGs (except Riddler puzzles in the Arkham games). It takes me months to play one because I do every single side quest before I get to the end. For example, I'm at 146 hours in Dragon Age: Inquisition and I'm still at least an area and a half from finishing the game.

You'll probably really enjoy it then. It has a pretty clever system for the Uruks (your main foes) as well, they call it the Nemesis system; every time an Uruk kills you, it increases its power so it becomes tougher to beat the next time you fight it. Conversely, when you kill an Uruk captain (there's a whole hierarchy) a regular Uruk steps into its place but that Uruk is generally not as tough. Each captain has its own strengths and weaknesses and you can gain intel on them through interrogating other captains when you beat them in combat; they also regularly fight each other for position. The whole thing is about gaining intel on the Warchiefs so you can beat each of them and get to the real bad guys. I suspect I have a lot of hours to play before I come close to finishing it.

People are saying that MGS5 went the opposite direction from MGS4 in that the majority of the game "skimps" on story in a very non-Kojima way. Which I think will be interesting to see. Plus the game looks amazing. Can't wait to get my hands on it.

Given up on Shadow Of Mordor, it's really freaking tedious. Absolutely no story at all, just running around killing huge amounts of orcs all with slightly different combinations of the same set of strengths and weaknesses in the hope of levelling your weapons up sufficiently to take on more orcs with slightly more strengths and slightly fewer weaknesses. Dull dull dull.

It's basically just ripping off Batman/Assassin's creed...but a very good ripoff from a legendary franchise.
It's a good game, but it's nothing groundbreaking.
I'm just finding it so repetitive with little to no story to keep me engaged.

I feel that way about almost all open world games. Grand Theft Auto, infamous, Red dead redemption etc.
Which is why I generally prefer story driven RPGs above any other games.

Agreed on GTA and Infamous, also Assassin's Creed bored me silly. Others I find more engaging though eg the Arkham series.

I've been on Witcher 3 the last few weeks. Great game so far but I haven't sunk too deeply into it yet.
-
Completely addicted to Rocket League. Been trying to play through the last of us and it is a pretty amazing game but I always end up going right back to Rocket League after half an hour or so. Can't believe I love car soccer so much, it seems like a game I should have enjoyed for like 3 hours tops.

It's perfect. The matches are short, there isn't any learning curve, the game is too ridiculous to get upset about. I got it for free on PS4 and purchased it on Steam. Probably have a good 10 - 12 hours in on both.

As far as just picking it up and playing a casual match I agree it's about as simple as it gets. Trying to break into intermediate or higher level play is a huge learning curve.
Probably why I like it so much. Got into it super easily but now trying to fly and make plays off the sidewalls is very challenging to do consistently.

I've been playing offline with my 5 year old in a league. It's basically like playing 1 on 2 against the CPU. Kid's a pro with Lego games and Skylanders/Disney Infinity, but Rocket League is a beast for him.
Chaos mode is a lot of fun online.

It's tough on PS4 without communication. You kind of have to hope whoever gets placed furthest back lays off the throttle and waits to see where the first touch goes.

Yeah, it can be. I've been playing ranked a lot by myself because my schedule does not match up with most people I know.
I'm at a level now where most people have basic strategy down. If you're playing to win it's best to play defense and wait for a chance to come flying up and tap in a bouncer in front.
-
I had a lot of fun the first night upon getting Madden as the gameplay is fantastic. But like every year, you may as well wait until they come out with the first patch. Starting an offline or online franchise with these souped up rookie classes is kind of pointless.
I got so into the Batman game I downloaded the animated series and started firing those out like I would've done if I was 10 and had access to the internet. I have to be honest, I'm glad I didn't get the season pass though. 40 bucks for a bunch of skins and 10 minute stories? I'll just pick and choose.

the streak and aggressive catch are so overpowered that it's unplayable
-
the streak and aggressive catch are so overpowered that it's unplayable
Depends on the receiver, Josh Gordon, Brandon Marshall, AJ green and Calvin johnson are beasts, but non elite receivers constantly have that ball knocked away by decent DBs when I play on all pro.
-
the streak and aggressive catch are so overpowered that it's unplayable
I haven't actually played yet but from what I have seen on twitch I think it needs to be nerfed a bit but not too much. Guys should get burned for leaving an ok at best corner on a top WR in single coverage. The top DB's don't seem to give up much, even to the best wideouts.
-
the streak and aggressive catch are so overpowered that it's unplayable
Slants are still money plays but I wouldn't say streaks are overpowered. If you don't have an elite CB and you're working 1 on 1 with a beast WR, you get what you get.
I do believe they are patching/updating the game to increase DB speed.
-
Anybody going to pick up Mad Max this week?

The outside streak with aggressive catch is overpowered. I'm in an online CCM and Dwayne Bowe is unstoppable for me in the redzone. Doesn't matter who is on him.
-
The Phantom Pain might be my game of the year, it's between that and Bloodborne.
-
Anybody going to pick up Mad Max this week?
Picked it up. Remembered I had a lot of stuff to get done this weekend and buying the game would result either in me not getting to play it and being annoyed, or not getting my excrement done and wife being annoyed. Put it back on the shelf.
Did you get it?
-
I held off on Mad Max. Looks good, reminds me of Shadow Of Mordor but with cars. At least all the gameplay mechanics n stuff. But I read the mission designs are really repetitive.
I picked up Until Dawn. It's basically Heavy Rain PLUS a Wes Craven /John Carpenter script
Hayden Penitierre (sp?) And thr lead guy from Mr. ROBOT. fid some good acting. If you liked Heavy Rain and are a fan of 80s horror it's a great game .
Got the new Madden. In a couple Online Franchises. I like it a lot . Only complaint is the aggressive catch can be abusive , also the AI is freaking ridiculous in the 4th qtr regardless of who is QB. Madden made it impossible to create turnovers now I feel like they over compensated .
All that said, it's the best madden to date imo. The only thing I wish they never took out was the playmaker feature from 05. Where yoh could direct your WRS to break off routes if you left the pocket
I play a lot of Rocket League. That's just plain fun. Brutal if ppl on your team are useless thpugh .
Oh, for any strategy/rpg nerd Armello is a fun and weird mix of genres. It's a mix of , board game, strategy, rpg. The quickest way to describe it would be , Risk meets Heroes Of Might and Magic with a dash of Magic The Gathering
The next game I'm excit re d for is Divinity :Original Sin coming to ps4 . I've held out getting it on PC waiting for the enhanced edition
Co op turn based rpg goodness.
-
I don't know if it still is but the playmaker feature was still buried deep in the control mechanics for Madden like 2-3 years ago.
-
The next generation Madden is still not as good as Madden 2005. That is the best Madden.
That catch system is interesting and it should smooth out over time, but it's too overpowered right now. And the progression system is broken in CCM, which ruins what could be a great experience.
EA is finally getting there.

They made it take a lot longer to build people up. The problem is they haven't found a sweet spot. It used to be to easy. You'd get insane xp for weekly goals and enormous rewards for season milestones and an absurd amount for setting records .
Like last year, within 2 seasons Ivory is a top 5 back and from 86 speed to 91.
I'm in a CCM with two friends. Play on All Pro. I broke the single season record , got OPOY, and best RB. Mind you this actually took effort cause my friend uses the steelers and Leveon Bell is godly .
Anyways, what was I able to do?
Put speed from 87 to 88. That's it. Couldn't afford excrement for juking agility or anything else .
My biggest gripe is how you can't just a sign all 60 hours of game prep to one guy on the spot. Cause if you want to make the most use of actually developing players it makes most sense to dump it all into one or two ppl with the quick or superstar trait .
However I will say. I'm in love with the overhauled scouting system.no longer will I spend more time scouting than playing games. The randomness is there, no more cheat sheets for ppl looking to rape the draft .
I ended up getting a Russell Wilson clone in the 4th rd. Was praying nobody scouted him fully. 88 speed, 90 accel, 90 throw power , 88 agility , about 85 80 74 ACC long mid short . Quick development trait .
The irony is , I'm playing way better with an inferior Bryce Petty in my solo franchise .
-
Oh, my friend who uses the Steelers had Big Ben over 5200 yds 45 tds. Bryant and Brown are demi gods.
I managed to put up more yards and tds with a platoon of Fitzmagic n Geno. I started Fitz and they literally kept breaking their collarbone every 5 ro 6 weeks lol.

Cdkeys.com is offering mad max on PC for 15.99
Saw the special on ign today . I passed on it for 60 but might jump on it

How much do you guys spend a year on video games and associated paraphernalia?
Not judging, I just don't know what things cost these days. I haven't played anything since Wii Golf.

Hard to say. Depends on the games out that year. But I have everything except XBOX so between all of that easily around 400 a year. That's a low ball too.
But I stopped going out to drink really. I used to drop 50 bucks a game at least just eating and drinking .
Now I just crash my parents for the Sunday ticket .
I really just curved one habit to make the other a non factor lol.
-

Under 200, I buy maybe 2 or 3 console games a year, everything else is free to play.
-
Probably net around $200-300 a year, I tend to wait until I can buy them used for $30-40 and it will often take me a month or more before I finish them. I don't keep them either, I trade most of them back in.
-
I traded for Mark Sanchez in my online CCM and he has the highest QB rating in the league right now. League best turnover differential too (+15).
Four man front with Williams, Snacks, Richardson, and Wilkerson is tops against the run too.
-
Probably around 300 but I get A LOT of games (probably a new title every 6 to 8 weeks I'd say) but usually trade in a lot too. Best Buy's gamer discount card costs 15 a year but gives me 20 percent off of new games and 10 percent trade-in bonuses which puts a nice dent in cost. New games are 48 bucks off the bat and even cheaper when they go on sale after a month or so. Sony every once in a while gives away gems (Rocket League) or will have flash sales with some really good games for a very reasonable price.
Basically, its not THAT expensive a habit if you're a bastard shopper. For example: between trading in last years Madden for a 20 dollar credit, getting a 10 dollar coupon towards a new game for pre-ordering and buying this years Madden and having that 20 percent discount, Battlefront is costing me 20 bucks the day of launch and Madden cost me 48. So that's two games for 68 as opposed to one for 60. Or you could just not be a slave to console gaming like me, get on Steam and get GREAT games for pennies on the dollar/not have to pay for the privilege of using the internet. Maximum bargain overdrive.
I'm debating whether or not I want to wait on Fallout 4 since its historically been the type of game to be half the price in a year. But in looking at how games like GTA V and ESO haven't been slashed at all since launch, I'm not sure thats going to happen.
-
I probably but one game every 3-4 months. I don't play much at all anymore. Can't wait for the new mass effect and fallout though.
-
I buy probably two or three games a year at 50 bucks a piece, give or take. Maybe a few DLC in between so I'd say $200 a year. That's like two weekends at the bar so the amount of time/enjoyment I get out of it is good value as far as I'm concerned
-
I buy Lego games and Disney Infinity for the kids and some assorted stuff for Wii U. I get some games for free from friends at game companies for PS4. I don't play much at all.
-
I buy madden, nhl, and call of duty every year, play them for 3 months then never touch them again.

Check ign.com daily deals.
Fallout 4 is usually on sale for PC for 45 bucks. The Best Buy gaming club is something you shpuld look into. I believe it's 20 percent off all pre orders

Nice. I traded Snacks and a pick for Patrick Peterson. Also snatched up Aldon Smith from free agency and locked him down for 5 yrs
I traded Cromartie and a 3rd for a top 5 pick which I turned into an elite LT prospect who took Giacominis job till I let go of Ferguson for cap reasons .
I was going to ask if you wanted to play but I'm pretty sure your on XB1 right?
You'd prolly kick my derriere, I play good defense but the new catching system makes me gamble a lot .
The irony is, I built my team way better on my alternate franchise . Marshall to the Bucs for a first after VJAX rleft.
I turned it into Julio Jones. The Bucs pick and Snacks for Jones.
Funny sidenote. In my CCM with friends, we're in year 2. And Brady retired. Mark Sanchez is now the Patriots qb

You can do it for cheapif you don't buy a ton of games brand new. After the initial investment in the system I think I've spent like 100 or so on games this year.
-
Been playing mostly pay to win games on PC for the last couple years. You get to do all the fun stuff then quit once you need to pay, which is usually the point where it becomes a grind anyway.
I may actually pre-order Fallout 4 though. I expect it to be better than 3, but even if it is half as good it will be worth every penny.

I caved n got a pair of the ps4 PS 20th anniversary controllers.
I only had 1 controller so needed an extra anyways.
Gel tabz are a must though. DS4 is the best controller imo but the joysticks shred up after a while

someone is giving us a wii and suggested getting a wii u. what the freak is a wii u? do i need it for the wii? is it worth getting? bleh
-
I believe a Wii U is a completely different console.
-
Wii U is the console after Wii.
Bayonetta 2 , mario kart 8, super smash Bros , and a few other decent games.
They shpuld be super cheap soon because nintendo is coming out with yet another console in 2016 lololol.
I essentially got mine for Xenoblade Chronicles X.
If your kid is happy with a Wii just keep using it

Have they confirmed another one? I missed that, but the Wii U is a massive flop and won't remain competitive now that ps4 and xbone are gathering steam. Hopefully they make a console that 3rd party Devs actually want to create awesome games for.

People have been saying this since I used to subscribe to Nintendo Power in the mid 90's.
-
We have a Wii U. It's great with kids. Mario Kart, Super Smash Bros, and Mario Party get played more than anything else. I got it for $200 last Christmas with Super Mario Whatever World, Nintendoland, and Wind Waker HD. It was well worth it. We use the old Wii remotes, so the only thing we've paid for since are a few Amiibos and the games I just mentioned. Oh, and some Captain Toad game that's pretty good. Even if all I buy for it in the future is Zelda, it'll be a good purchase.
-
I just picked up Mario Maker for the kids. If you loved classic Mario this provides endless hours of fun. Highly recommend.

It can be quite ridiculous. My son tries to make these levels, then gets frustrated when I beat them on the first or second try.

I'm at 146 hours in Dragon Age: Inquisition and I'm still at least an area and a half from finishing the game.
I started playing that this evening. It's 10% gameplay and 90% cut scenes. If I wanted to watch a movie I would.

Crazy how perceptions can be so different. That was my Game Of The Year last year. And about half the gaming industry's.
Then again I'm a fan of the Dragon Age series in general. The books, the movie , the whole universe.
It certain starts slow . Mostly due to the fact of trying to immerse newcomers into the world .
After you dump about 15 or 20 hours into it. It picks up.
People blew their load over the size if Skyrim's world. But I found the characters and story to be mediocre. Not this case .most of tge side quests actually build onto the ongoing narrative .
This game has over 200 hours of content . With probably less than 10 percent of it being cut scenes .
Then again it's for die hard rpg fans , so it's not for everyone
-
Tales of Zestiria next week and Divinity :Original Sin on ps4 the week after
-
you complain about every game
That's not true, it's just that as a pretty casual gamer I quickly get annoyed and/or frustrated with games. I'm not really into the swords and sorcery type of games (the only series of that ilk that I really enjoyed was God Of War) but Dragon Age had such good reviews I thought I'd give it a go. It's just not for me, I'm not putting 200 hours into a game.
Will trade it in for Mad Max later on today, I think that will be far more up my alley.

You could beat the game in 60 to 80 hours if you stick to mostly main quests
Mad Max is ok. Huge fan of the series. Gold graphics , definitely feels like your in the movie . Repetitive missions though , and the driving felt awkward.
But all in all if your admittedly a casual gamer then you might like it .
-
I'll still stress that Until Dawn was freaking awesome .
The butterfly effects in your choices are pretty cool.
They took a lot of tropes on the horror genre and made a game that was basically Heavy Rain + a good horror movie

Thanks. Maybe I'll have another go at Dragon Age, but I found the whole conversation thing requiring me to actually select my response to them incredibly tedious.
What I also want to find, if you have any recommendations, is a first person game that will get me into the genre. Not a shooter - I tried a couple of the COD games and hated them - but a story-based adventure played from first person perspective. I only play third person games right now because I've struggled with first person, and I suspect I'm missing out on all sorts of decent titles.

If selecting your own answer during conversations is tedious to you, then no Bioware game is for you. The ability to control your entire character's story through your interactions is the hallmark of Bioware's games.
If you're considering conversations to be cutscenes, don't even bother giving it another chance. Just move on. I don't consider chatting to be a cutscene. Cutscenes are breakaways where you completely give up control and watch an event go on. Under that definition, there aren't very many in Inquisition--only at critical points in the story.
Now that baseball season is over (and basketball hasn't started yet) I've had a little more time to play. I went over 169 hours last night. I'm hoping to finish DA:I within the next couple of weeks, then go back and finish Kingdoms of Amalur before Star Wars: Battlefront comes out. I was hoping to have time to play The Witcher games too, but I don't think that's happening until after the holidays now.
-
Thanks, that's good to know. I'll trade it in then - the conversations feel to me like a digital version of the Choose Your Own Adventure books that I used to buy in the 80s. I just want to solve some puzzles and kill some gribblies.

Yeah, that's the appeal of RPGs. It's a self-made story--very much Choose Your Own Adventure. Obviously there are rails that the story needs to be framed within, but the better RPGs allow you the freedom to get to the end in a personal way.

I played the Battlefront beta
It's ok.
I mean graphically it's fuckin beautiful.
But it plays almost exactly like Battlefield with a dash of Quake . With star wars character models .
Kind of a color by numbers shooter
The flying combat is kinda fun though .
-
Are you gonna wait on the midnight line at Walmart?
If you order it on amazon it arrives the date of the release. So yeah, I'll be camping out to get the $250 special edition at midnight the night before.

Hooked up with a not so great looking girl the night COD:MW2 came out and told her I had class the next morning and had to go. Went and bought the game and played it all night, didn't have class the next day. College was fun.

Eyeing up that Star Wars: Battlefront PS4 bundle. I've had my PS3 since 2008, i think it's time to upgrade.
The Star Wars bundle comes out on Nov 17 (right around my birthday)....perfect time to pull the trigger.

I self imposed deadlines for schoolwork thats not due until after thanksgiving to be done by the time this excrement drops. I don't want to be bothered with real life.
As much as someone can play the excrement out of a beta, I played the excrement out of the beta.

I have a lot of hours into Mad Max now and am still loving it. The engine and the dynamics have a lot of the Arkham feel about them, and the landscape is stunning. Every now and then it does suffer with a bit of a frame rate issue but I'm willing to forgive that with such smooth gameplay.

Fallout 4 dropping in 2 weeks. Cannot freaking wait. New COD and Battlefront look incredible, but I'm going to hold off on them for now. Not enough time in the day.

Just found out that Star Wars battlefront will be multiplayer only. Sucks.
At least more time to enjoy Fallout.

Pretty sure there's an offline bot mode for single player. Unfortunately most competitive shooters released are geared toward multiplayer. If you're looking for a single player fps I highly reccomend deus ex mankind divided when it comes out. It's a really nice rpg type game geared more towards the casual play style. If you have xbox 360 or PS3 the last deus ex was awesome.
-

You're constantly surrounded by other people, though. Even when you're playing solo, there are other people running around. It's not that much different aside from the fact that you're actually going to be taking on human opponents here.
-
And yet you just bought Destiny which is basically the same experience.
I didn't know that. I bought it because it was cheap and I wanted to see what the fuss was about. Got a lot more hours to put into Mad Max before I open anything else though.

Just found out that Star Wars battlefront will be multiplayer only. Sucks.
At least more time to enjoy Fallout.
I freaked out a little bit when I saw this, then looked it up. It's not multiplayer-only. It's just that there is no single-player campaign mode. So it won't repeat the experience of the Clone Wars one, but you can still fight battles offline, there just won't be a loose "storyline" tying the fights together.
-
WTF really? Lost me then. I can't believe anyone would make a game multiplayer only.
Many games are either multiplayer only, or close to it.
Campaigns cost so much cash for voice acting, cinematics and all that excrement. Plus it takes up a crap ton of memory.
I feel like with most shooters it's not worth it, and frequently an afterthought
-
The generation gap is showing in this convo. People my age or younger hate when games like battlefront waste time and money tacking on a shitty story that hardly anyone plays. To me the whole point of battlefront is massive multiplayer battles.

I don't need a campaign mode in Battlefront. I just want to run around Star Wars worlds shooting at things without listening to 12 year olds curse at me for my lack of skills--and they're giving that to me so I'm happy.
-
Battlefront is ok.battlefield plus quake essentially.
Amazing graphics , beautiful game. Nothing new though .
-
Divinity Original Sin is the excrement .
Feels like a mid of baldurs gate and fallout 1 and 2
Nice to see pure strategy rpg with some co op

Divinity Original Sin Enhanced Edition, Fallout 4, and Xenoblade Chronicles X will be a good way to close out the year

Same. I want something that I can pick up and just play whenever I feel like it. I don't have the time to get good enough to compete with these kids. That option in Star Wars battlefront seems perfect actually. Still would be cool if there was a story.

I was able to get into the new Need For Speed beta few weeks ago
After Sucking balls for years NFS is back. It felt like Need For Speed Underground but way more polished .

I wouldn't complain if there was a story, but the storylines in previous editions added nothing to the game for me so I don't care that there won't be any this time.

Honestly, I'm completely disinterested in that game. I followed the project's early days on Twitter, and it's based on a tabletop game that I don't have any liking for. It's supposed to be a "spiritual successor" to the original Planescape, but I'll pass.
Actually, back in the original Neverwinter Nights days, someone made a mod to "tie up" the story for the characters from Planescape. It was actually decent and gave me enough closure that I don't need any more.

Nobody uses voice chat in online shooters unless they are in a team actively trying to strategize. You and Tommy are really missing out on a much more fun experience not going online. They have matchmaking and stuff
to track your skills so you get put in mostly competitive games. It's basically the same experience except no repetitive AI.

The new trend is going to be MMO style 'single' player. You will be playing solo in an open world with other people. I think true single player experiences akin to Fallout will become fewer and farther between.

I agree. In my experience the games like Destiny or Battlefront with other active players in your world are not intrusive. I actually like it because it feels more fluid

Fallout 4 soon.
Been playing since part 1 in 97. Was apprehensive when Bethesda acquired the IP after Black Isle Studios shut down, but this one seems glorious.
Building your own settlements , establishing trade routes, defending said settlements vs Raiders . The crafting system.
I think they said 400+ hours of content . I won't hit that , but over 150 easy by the time the Division is out in March
The WW2 style war time videos they put out on the attribute system is hilarious
"Long distance relationship" lol

The building settlements thing seems a little out of place.
-
The building settlements thing seems a little out of place.
Why?
-
Fun fact : Ron Pearlman was the narrative voice of the wanderer in all Fallout since part 1.
By the way, I think the writing for the lore in this series is fantastic . Only if you search enough books, computers, and vaults throughout the series
The fact all the vaults were built by the government to perform controlled experiments in preparation for the elites possible need to live in space and on alien planets is dark. Some of the experiments in those vaults and the states you find corpses in is very telling of how much is beneath the surface of the games
-
How well do you think this will stand alone? Will it matter to have not played any of the previous games?
-
The building settlements thing seems a little out of place.
Yes because salvaging any possible materials as you sift through the remnants of mankind in order to provide shelter and a semblance of normalcy isn't realistic
-
Why?
Because in the last few games you're pretty much a wanderer. Having to micromanage a settlement doesn't really fit. Just saying. I may end up really liking it.
-
How well do you think this will stand alone? Will it matter to have not played any of the previous games?
You will miss some inside joke and references but the game will stand on it's own.
But didn't you recently say you don't like this type of game because it just a choose your own story book?
-
How well do you think this will stand alone? Will it matter to have not played any of the previous games?
You'll be fine .
I could find a video to explain most of the series in 6 minutes or less .
It's Tommy's favorite, an alternate historic fiction lol
Essentially technology developed differently post WW2 and hence some of the old time feel even though the bombs dropped in like 2050 sonething.
All you need to know is a nuclear standoff between China and US happened as earth's resources depleted .
China invaded Alaska , US annexed Canada and then everyone blew the world to excrement.
You emerge from a vault shelter a long time later in the aftermath . I think cryogenic might be involved in this vault .
Either way , aa I mentioned earlier there's a ton of well written lore and back story but I wouldn't deem it absolutEly necessary.
The big draw to fallout games is being able to do almost anything on the moral spectrum from sociopath to saint . This one will be like minecraft plus mad max for adults
If you've ever wanted to immerse yourself in the downfall of mankind and examine the verious effects it would take on the human psyche. There you go.
Also glorious violence .
But you can build a charismatic character who can talk themselves out of or through most obstacles .
Pretty much do what you want
-
Because in the last few games you're pretty much a wanderer. Having to micromanage a settlement doesn't really fit. Just saying. I may end up really liking it.
It's completely optional and not tied to the main story .
You can still do the lone wanderer role
There's even a perk where you can't have a companion at all, but you take 20%less damage
Called. "Lone Wanderer"

I'm good with open world games - as you know I'm still slightly obsessed with Mad Max - but I like being able to pick up missions as I want to, or otherwise do as Heismanberg says and generally wander round freaking bad guys up. The narrative element of Dragon Age really did my head in, same was true of that detective game everyone loved a couple of years ago.
-

It immerses you into the story. You don't have to ask all the questions, and most of the time you can just get to the point. One cool thing about it is that if you develop a particular trait, you can use that trait (if it's strong enough) to get people to say excrement that helps.

Do you mean LA Noire? The game where every case is exactly the same? Investigate crime scene, interrogate suspect, chase suspect. I had to quit after the third case.

This is nothing like LA Noire or Heavy Rain. "Push this button! Now this button!" You can wander wander wander and choose from infinite side missions. I put in countless hours on Skyrim and barely touched the main storyline.

Oh, you're probably good. The good thing about fallout is if you talk to someone and it opens up a new mission or whatever you can just ignore it forever. You can probably get months of enjoyment without doing much story or side quest wise.
-
Speaking of side missions, I'm curious which ones are memorable for people. For me it's the Fallout 3 town where you find the kid hiding in a tiny shelter who asks you to help find his dad. Then you have to tell the kid that his dad was killed by fire ants and is a charred corpse now. freak that one.

So many of them. If we're going Fallout 3 the little settlement you stumble upon with bodies ripped apart. There's a surviving family and they seem traumatized but it's only a front . The parents are cannibals and butchered the whole settlement
Some of the vaults, the experiments they did were horrible . There was a vault gull of dead children at one point . I think they took gifted kids and did a lord of the flies type deal. I remember walking into an orchestra room with a dead teen holding onto a violin or something.
I Remer finding an abandoned house where there was a skeleton in bed and a skeleton on the floor grasping a knife . Meaning the bomb went off as this person was going to stab someone in their sleep
The whole dark thing behind it was each vault was a different experiment for the elite in case of needs for space travel and repopulation
I'm almost 100 percent sure the kick to Vault 111 , the one in Fallout 4, has sonething to do with cryogenic suspension since all I know is your guy comes out the vault the same age but his family is dead .
Just guessing but something goes wrong with the pods and his is probably one of few to function correctly
-
In Fallout 1 or 2 you have to rescue someone's kidnapped sister . After rescuing her you actually have a chance to sell her into slavery .
Those games were darker n slightly more mature but Bethesda did a solid job building on what black isle did lore and open ended story wise

Yeah. They killed the grownups and went full on LOTF.
You can spend hours reading everything in any of those vaults. For a world where you can just run around a kill excrement without reading a thing, it is incredible well written. Wasted on the masses, but geektastic for those of us who care.
Very few cut scenes in Fallout games, and you can blow through conversations pretty quickly. It is the ultimate play it how the freak you want to play it series.

Ha yeah. When I seriously go through the main quest that means I'm about tired of the game already. I waited too long in Skyrim though. I was an insanely powerful magician so it was pretty easy anyway. Just took a lot longer than I expected.
-
I never finished Skyrim. I just realized that. I sunk a lot of hours into it, too.

I may have a good go at finishing Mad Max tonight. I already reduced threat level in every area to zero and maxed out every car capability. Legend rank is something like a level 35 Road Warrior, it's time to end this thing.

I don't understand why companies don't let you download a pre-ordered game in the preceding week or so prior to release, and then just release a final key bit of code on the release date to make the game work. It seems daft to make millions of people hit the servers simultaneously to get the whole thing on release date.

-
I exchanged the disc, same excrement. Weird texture glitches that make the gameplay annoying. Cutscenes and everything else are fine. Weird.
Said freak it and purchased the game and downloaded it. Waiting for it to finish. If this doesn't work, probably have to replace my ps4.
Fuckn Fallout.

So download the game, no disk, and still getting that weird rendering issue. Could it be my ps4? Everything else runs fine.

I tested one to see how the choices impacted what happened. Pieces of dialogue remain the same to move the plot along on a mission, but I have no problem with that. You can still do what you want even if the dialogue isn't as open as people might want.

Tell her that if you just wanted to play games and excrement then you'd get a PS4. Once she has it in her head that the PS4, the alternative, isn't as kid friendly, she'll have unconsciously agreed that XboxOne is kid friendly. So it'll be like she came up with the idea herself. That's the key in negotiations.
Also mention the Netflix, Hulu, Amazon prime apps. Bonus points if you infer that these aren't available on the ps4.

I haven't followed the new fallout much as I didn't like the direction they went after fallout 2
But what's the deal with this settlement crap? Did they add a whole minecraftesque side to the game? Where you make a city/base whatever

I killed 2 or 3 hours scrapping stuff all over and bringing it back to the workshop.
Corn I had to buy from a roaming trader
Tatos can be found at a farm south /southwest of Sanctuary.
I'd you use corn and tatos and some other stuff at the alchemy station you can make adhesives aND sone other more rare crafting components
It'll be called vegetable starch I think . Breaks down into adhesive though
Collect every single thing you come across. Even pencils get broken down into radioactive stuff. Clocks ,pocket watches duct tape.
I always hoarded stuff in Bethesda games. Now it's almost necessary if you want good upgrades and to craft more advanced settlement things
-
I haven't followed the new fallout much as I didn't like the direction they went after fallout 2
But what's the deal with this settlement crap? Did they add a whole minecraftesque side to the game? Where you make a city/base whatever
Yeah. There's multiple spots for settlements in the game .
Invest enough charisma perks and you can build stores and create trade routes. It's how you get access to most of the better things .
Attract more people to do work. The combined value of your clean water production and food production determines your threat level to Raiders . You can build traps , turrets , guard posts searchlights etc. To raise your defense value . Arm patrolmen you assign
Also once you start getting more settlers it's hard to track em all to assign tasks.
Build a bell where you want them to congregate and ring it to make issuing assignments easier
Their overhaul of the SPECIAL , Perks, and leveling system is awesome imo. So much freedom. No level cap either .

Can someone explain fallout to a noob? I think I bought fallout 3 used for $5-$10 bucks for XB360 a couple years ago but never played it more than a half hour because the gameplay was a little slow to start and the graphics made me just switch back to ps4.

It's the farthest thing from a strategy game. It only sounds like that because I was describing the settlement building and crafting system.
Both are completely optional. It's essentially Elder Scrolls with a Mad Max theme.

In Tally for the game this weekend with an Alum friend and my buddy who just spent the last 7 months stationed in the middle east , rooms were either 60 bucks or 400 a night .
So we're staying at this place. I swear it looked abandoned lol. As we pulled up I said "this place looks like a location in Fallout. I'm going to go in and see if we can salvage some crafting materials , maybe find some ammo."
My friend says "be careful, looks like the RADS are high here"
I excrement you not we walk in and there's a broken old timey typewriter and a bunch of other excrement from an age forgotten .
Pretty sure I could shoot up dome lady H with the blinds open and nobody would flinch .

You think that's bad? I found out I have a defective GPU and need to replace my ps4. Sill under warranty but have to wait a few weeks to play now. Since I got the playstation in April I only used it to watch Netflix and play FIFA occasionally, so didn't notice the GPU error. Talk about a tease.

I bought a 360 on launch day. It died after a few months. They sent me another one. It died a few months later. All in all, I went through 5 of them in a period of 2 years before I said freak it and bought a PS3. I won't go back to that excrement.

It was just a joke.
I've had a couple of red ring of death Xboxes, but I prefer the XBox to the PS. We have 360s in every room and a One in the living room. There's a PS2 in every room but my youngest's who has a Wii instead. We're not married to one system but we all just prefer XBox.

Oh, I wasn't criticizing. I'm just bitter about it still. To be honest, the exclusives for PS are much more appealing to me than the ones for Xbox, so I probably would have switched eventually anyway.

I remember back around 94 or 95 Sega and Time Warner linked up to do The Sega Channel. Innovative in retrospect. Plug a cartridge adapter into the Genesis. Said adapter has a coaxial cable connection that connected to a cable connection wired in the wall.
Boots up and had about 50 games on demand. Essentially Netflix for Sega games.

Haha. I remember Xmas 1987. We begged our parents for an NES, so my dad gave my mom a few hundreds and said "go buy it for them." She comes back with a Sega Master System. We started crying and my parents were confused. My dad told us to STFU and that they're all the same excrement. Sure enough it didn't matter as that day my brother sister and I liked it so much we fought each other to play. We caused so much excrement, tantrums and all, that our neighbors called the cops thinking that my parents were beating us.
Fun times.

As far as current gaming, I can't put down Fallout 4. I killed three hours last night just building a custom two story home in sanctuary and today has been spent ensuring my settlements are happy, if not expanding. I havent done an actual mission in hours.
-
Yeah I've been in full fallout 4 crackhead mode this week. i played sporadically during the week for the first 5-7 hours and then the game started feeling like Fallout 3 again (in a good way).
The settlement and building tools are clunky and feel unfinished, but it's definitely a good concept. When the modding community gets a hold of this, it's gonna be an even better game. Some of the menus and UIs need work or are bloated. Like it doesn't make sense that you can store all your workshop resources across your supply lines in all settlements but not any weapons or armor you store can be accessed unless it's at the workshop bench you stored it at.
Skyrim had similar unpolishedness and then they made some amazing mods to clean it up.

Speculation began to surface that Sony were planning a rival to Xbox One’s backwards compatibility when the Star Wars Battlefront special edition PS4 shipped with three PS2 titles, apparently running on an emulator. Digital Foundry spotted that the games were using an emulated memory card – something previously ported classic titles haven’t used.
Speaking to Wired magazine, Sony have now officially confirmed the news:
"We are working on utilizing PS2 emulation technology to bring PS2 games forward to the current generation. We have nothing further to comment at this point in time."
The emulator was likely slipped in on one of the previous firmware updates, and will allow titles to run as if they were on the PS2, but with enhanced graphics and higher resolution.
While no other news is available, it seems strange that Sony would announce emulation – something that fans have practically been begging them for – in such an understated way. It also seems likely that instead of allowing gamers to play their old PS2 discs through the PS4, we’ll have to re-buy them through the PlayStation Store – but again, nothing is confirmed.

Create your own character and go through an open world.

Love the game so far, but who the freak had the idea to make you face a Deathclaw in the first mission?
It wasn't exactly the first mission, but yeah that was early. I got frustrated and finally just ran inside and shot him through a window. The AI was not strong in that one.

You need to run into the church. You can basically lay waste to him from a window.
I play on hard . Took me a few tries but I was being stubborn amd tried to beat him without using stimpacks.
I didn't use the church method or the other buildings, but I did sprint to the spawn point n left the Raiders alive to buy me time . He will rip them to shreds while you lay into em withba minigun.
Used about 3 ie 4 stimpacks but I took it on straight up

I beat it.. I'm an idiot. I was trying to kill him as a level 2 or 3 using only VATS. Didn't realize I can just aim and shoot the excrement out of him.
If you want a real challenge try to kill him using only VATS

I never have a ton of time to sink into a game, so FO4 is likely going to last me many months.
On a side note, I'm not sure what the fuss was about the building function. Once you realize how to place something it is really easy. Now I just need more colonists to work all my resources.
My only complaint about the game is it is a resource hog for no apparent reason. The graphics are only marginally better than FO3. I was running FO3 on ultra settings smoothly, but FO4 gets clunky on high settings.

Lol update your hardware.
The game looks good on my rig on all ultra. In fact I dunno why people are complaining. I play it on ps4 primarily because I had some controller compatibility issues , so I'm playing it on ps4 then by the time I'm done should be a good host of mods for a second playthrough.
Ps4 graphics look like high on pc. But if you can run it on ultra the textures see a noticeable upgrade

My rig is maxed out with the current MB. I would need to do a full rebuild and just dont want to spend the cash on that right now. My point was if FO3 runs fine on ultra, FO4 shouldn't be choppy at times on high. A small complaint really, just sharing my experience.

I feel completely the opposite. I'm really enjoying Battlefront. I'm not a FPS (especially online multiplayer) fan, so I've only played the tutorial maps and one survival map so far. I've enjoyed them a lot though. My 8-year-old has too. We both play it in 3rd person.
Maybe that's the thing. If you're a hardcore FPS fan, maybe it disappoints. Maybe it was built to cater to the larger non-hardcore-gamer Star Wars fanbase?
-
I haven't played it because I've been in Fallout mode, but the people I know who have it love it. None of them are typical FPS players.

Yeah, the more I think about it, the more I think Battlefront was made for people who aren't big fans of FPS.
All I know is that I played the biker scout training map probably 2 dozen times to finally get the under-2.5-minutes star and loved it.

https://youtu.be/N6XcMgfUeS8
Xenogears -PS1
Xenosaga -PS2
Xenoblade Chronicles- Wii
Xenoblade Chronicles X- Wii U
Anyone who is a fan of good writing, Xenogears on ps1 ranks as an all time great piece of work in my opinion. There was so many moving pieces thematically. A heavy influence of Carl Jung and Frederick Nietsche , secularism vs faith, the Iccarus effect of man playing God, all woven into a Sci fi saga.
It's a shame when the spiritual successor of Xenogears came, (Xenosaga) he was kneecapped by Namco Bandai in mid production of a 5 episode saga thst was forcibly rushed and condensed into 3 games.
Then came Xenoblade Chronicles. More fantasy , less Sci fi, more open world and scale. But the story n writing was a little off by Takahashi standards
I've read this is closer to Xenosaga than Xenoblade Chronicles, which is very comforting.
With Takahashi in his 50s now, and always overly ambitious, I hope he can crank out a few more games and go out on a strong note.
I wish this was available on pc/ps4 hardware because the art direction is amazing.

I remember reading that the company was ridiculously stable financially because of their investment strategy. Something like they could make no profit for 20 years and still continue on. If that's true I think they just keep doing weird excrement and every now and then have a huge success like the Wii.

No. But they'll try to up sell you. No biggie though
There's a program where you pay 15 for a year , and get game informer annual subscription and like 15% or 20 extra on trade in credit . Even more money if you wish to trade in for cash at a discounted rate
Used stuff is also cheaper .
So it all justdepends how often you plan to use it or if your trading in so much stuff tge 15 gets you more thsn 15 extra credit
There's a gamestop app where you can search a average trade in value of stuff and it'll tell you the difference between the rewards program and no program

BTW finally got my fixed PS4 back, but they deleted everything from my drive (didn't tell me they were going to do that), so have to download a bunch of stuff over again. Luckily I saved my character to the cloud so didn't have to spend 40 minutes on that again.
Got to play Fallout. I don't know what people are complaining about, but the graphics look great. Much more colorful than Fallout 3 and New Vegas. Reminds me of Skyrim a bit. That's not a bad thing. I had to stop after meeting Codsworth because I knew had I kept playing I'd be up all night.
freak this game is going to consume me for a while.

I don't get it. For $60 you're getting more than an hour of entertainment per dollar spent. That's great value.

Basically. They hold everything to a ridiculous standard and are so consumed in details they forget the purpose of playing the game.
classic tunnel vision. Then again, the games have such a disproportionate impact on their lives they expend unusual amounts of energy in critiquing them.

Exactly. I can see people complaining about $60 for a game with 8-10 hours of gameplay, but Fallout is awesome and so expansive.

Most hardcore gamers have no life so they take their virtual life very seriously.

Fallout 4 mod I am already looking forward to (assuming someone makes it): When you dump junk in your workbench, you can access it from any of your outposts.
Fallout 4 question: Is there any point in having multiple power suits? I cleared a mission last night and just left an extra one sitting there.
-
BTW what's the point of settlements? I spent an hour clearing up Sanctuary and excrement. Is it actually worth the trouble, or just some side thing?
-

It's not required other than the side quest to build up sanctuary. I am avoiding spoilers, but I believe there are benefits long term financially.
Clean it up. Plant food, add a couple water spouts, add some defense, build some beds in the houses you cleaned out, build a little generator, and build a beacon. Settlers will start to show up.
That's as far as I have gone.
-

There are about 20 settlements. You can clear them all out and build there, then connect them. Whether it's worth it is up to you. Settlers get assigned to jobs, so they can get stuff for you. However, you are often called upon to defend a settlement that is under attack. Building is also a really easy way to get XP.

There's a perk that already exists for that. Local Leader, under the Charisma perks. You just have to assign a settler in each place to the supply line.
But it only works for "Junk", not weapons and stuff. I use Sanctuary Hills as a home base even though i got the Castle

Good to know. I'll be sure to pick that up.
-
Good to know. I'll be sure to pick that up.
Local leader is key. If you plan on going the settlement route with the minutemen, up your charisma hard and get both the local leader perks. Build up a local economy with a trading post, bar and medical facility and profit. Also, FARM MUTFRUIT. Saves space, provides 1 food instead of .5 and costs .1 of inventory for when you want to harvest and sell that excrement in mass quantities.
I've only taken over a handful of the settlements, but thus far I've developed sanctuary, the drive-in and greenwood marsh or w/e the one is with the built in greenhouse. Covenant has also been colonized by me, as its already easy with the walls offering protection, but the lack of water source in its borders and lack of space to expand is a pain in the derriere so I'll probably keep the population under 12 there.
I'm actually kind of bummed Sanctuary HASN'T gotten attacked with all of the defenses and the fact that the only entry point is over the bridge as I've walled the rest of the town in. Raiders or Super Mutants would be walking into a freaking buzzsaw. Same with the drive-in although for some reason even with defenses and protection out the derriere they feel froggy every once in a while.
It was about three weeks before I really started to touch the main story. Building up settlements was too fun.

Yeah all my excrement is connected now.
-
I have a ton of settlements, but I haven't gotten them all super protected yet. I really need to start walling them all off. Sanctuary is a fortress, and the Castle is walled in.
-
I didn't wall anything in yet. I just put unnecessary amounts of turrets.
-
I either play in a really focused way or I just go around an act like an poopchute. I found some random tato farm, killed their Brahmin, and then beat everyone to death with a bat.

I did start making the turrets harder to destroy, so there's that. I had 9 Super Mutants attack the 3 settlers at Nordhagen Beach, though, which was brutal to stop. I really need to wall off the places like that. The best is Hangman's Alley. Naturally fortified, but so small that I had to build entirely upward.

yeah, i started dumping mattresses everywhere in hangman's alley because there's no space and i had no patience to try and build up.
It's just beds and turrets and a little spot for food/water pumps.
-
Just because it's not fallout 4 discussion....
I've thoroughly enjoyed the Uncharted 4 multiplayer Beta.
Some glitches/issues, but overall plenty of fun and some interesting mechanics with the rope swinging being a necessity in certain levels and mostly avoidable in others.
Looking forward to the real deal in Mid-March

Just like that, Hangman's Alley got attacked. I literally closed the door and let the machine guns take out everyone while I sniped for XP. Protecting Hangman's Alley involves shutting the damn door.
While I was there, I finally explored and just found Vault 81.

Crossover talk, but I feel bad for my friends at Naughty Dog. They're all working until at least midnight every day trying to finish by the February deadline. They're also all griping about not being able to play Fallout. One guy wants to play so badly he goes in from 9 AM to 1130 PM and comes home to play 2 hours of Fallout.

Being a video game developer seems awful.
It's one of those jobs that sounds cool to stupid people but involves working insane hours and feels most rewarding when it's finished
-
Although I guess there's so much "movie like" production and niche positions in gaming now that the feeling of reward varies greater now based on position than just coders or whatever tedious task. But even this is offset by the demands of big budget games that have to sell a zillion copies to be successful, which means crazy deadlines and perhaps less creativity because everything is geared to capture a wide audience as possible.

I knew that the original deadline of getting it out by years end was insane. I didn't think they'd be busting their asses this hard now that it's been pushed back a few months. Hopefully they can finish and the game is just as bad derriere as it has the ability to be. As I said the multiplayer that I've been playing a decent amount of this week, has been awesome.

Funny how you can't scrap dead bodies, so they just sort of rot there in the settlers living quarters.

-

I didn't use it all for a long time because I was trying to get the Super Human companion to respect me (so i could get his perk). Everytime you enter the power armor he gets pissed off and basically calls you a hoo-ha.
That took awhile and when I finally started using the suit again I had like 25 fusion cores in storage. So now I just use it all the time and still have plenty of juice left

I've been rolling with paladin Danse for a while now.

Not at all, and I have 3 suits all parked at sanctuary. I guess I prob should.

You can use that perk and still have Dogmeat? The only way it would be worth it is if you could still take Dogmeat and exploit the unlimited carry cheat.
-
That Fuckn castle mission. I was woefully unprepared because I thought we'd just be clearing out raiders. Dammit.
Yeah, The Castle was a pain. I wasn't expecting a boss. After an hour of dying I ended up running for it and porting back for my power suit. That let me live long enough to come up with a plan of attack. Was no problem after that.
-

The best weapon I have is a last rifle with infinite ammo. I won't spoil it by telling you where to get it, but it was an awesome surprise.
I also have a 10mm with a base trait that causes enemies to bleed on shot. Non autos are ramped way up on my character, so I like that one. I modded the crap out of it and named it Bye Felicia.

I used the fat man against the Queen Mirelurk. Worked well

What difficulty are you guys playing on?
Probably about 10-15 hours in I decided to go from Normal to Hard because the game felt overpowered. I still don't die much but it's not quite as easy and added a nice degree of challenge.

Normal. I just want to explore and check everything out and have a few challenges, but for the most part I don't need a high level of difficulty. I don't want to spend a lot of time having to redo stuff on a game this extensive.

Hard isn't appreciatively more difficult than Normal. It just prevents me from being able to rush in and be tactically reckless. On Normal you can do that all the time and kill everybody without much damage.
Not to mention, they incentivize harder difficulties with more Legendary enemies (who always drop special equipment/weapons)

Eh, I've gotten a ton of Legendary weapons and armor lately. It seems like as you level up, those enemies increase anyway.

So why isn't Sanctuary growing? Got like 18 there and enough beds food water defense for at least 40. Happiness is also at like 80.

Lol my friend explored at least 75 percent of the whole map.
He sent me a acreenshot. He built a giant house thst had like 20 suits of power armor lined up like the showroom at a car dealership
Make sure your cores are removed when storing them. Otherwise your trade route and civilians will just help themselves and start getting in lol
I've been busy with an online madden franchise and xenoblade . I still gotta finish it.
I'm like level 23 and just got the fortress back
Building the stores at your town is nice . Periodically drops bottle caps into your work bench

Do you have a bar/restaurant, clothes shop, and surgery center or clinic? Those drive numbers up.
I had a weird issue in which it would show 25 - 30 when I checked the map, then I'd fast travel to assign them jobs and it would drop back to 18 when I got there.
Must have been welfare queens.

You mean the stores? I have a general trader, medical trader, and clothes trader in a few. My sanctuary happiness dropped to 50 for some reason. Even added a jukebox, TV, terminal, etc.
I may overextended myself, so I need to go on a few more resource runs. Funny, I thought I wouldn't be bothering with settlements, now I spend the majority of the time visiting old places so I can grab all the brooms Tim cans etc.

I'm actually at level 36 and just want to get through the main quest now. I have all the settlements, the Minutemen missions are the same over and over, and freak the brotherhood. Also I've gotten so powerful that I can kill raiders and super mutants with one shot usually. I perked up nicely. Plus I have way more caps than I know what to do with.
Time to end this.

Finally been getting a chance to play F4. I was getting frustrated by getting killed over and over in the Minuteman missions, then realized I hadn't touched the main story line. Very happy getting back to 1 shot point blank VATS kills with the combat shotgun. Just did the Kellogg quest last night. Pretty epic.
Now that I have the perk to link my settlements... Do I just assign 1 settler from each settlement to be my envoy to Sanctuary? Will that be enough to link all my workbenches?

Alright fellas. I've been waiting to play The Division since ps4 was announced at e3 a couple years ago . Or was it 3 ? Can't tell anymore lol. Tom Clancy left us with one last gem before he died , at least the story has amazing potential
Anyways been playing the Beta a lot .
I'm on the hype train . It's an RPG first and foremost . The possibilities for character builds and talents/perks are impressive. You can also switch your build on the fly with no penalties or cost
A lot is locked in the beta , you get one story mission , free roam a amall section of PvE area . Then the Dark Zone which is free for all PvP.
This is a great MMO lite- RPG that just happens to have 3rd person cover mechanics based shooting . The little I can make of the story seems impressive . Almost like a Bourne Identity multiplayer RPG.
I feel some people will label it a shooter just because the core mechanics but the character development and equipment system is rpg through and through .
This is what destiny should've been imo. As far as how viable equipment and skills are .
Like I said a lot of skills and areas are locked but this game has serious potential .
With any online rpg the question will be how fast they can pump out content , and how reliable will servers be .
Ubisoft and Tom Clancy dropped the ball on thst on Rainbow Six Siege
But ice suffered no issues in the beta . Then again it'll be much different when the limits are removed and dozens of millions are Tryna log on
The PvP area is brutal lol. You earn reputation and pick up gear in a large section , with missions too.
But once you find anything and want to keep it . You have to get to an extraction point . Then it shoots a giant flare to get you airlifted
Alerting everyone where you are . It becomes a scramble of realistic nature given the story. If you get killed you drop most of your Dark Zone loot . You can also kill others obviously
Me n my friends tried to be diplomatic with ppl n have dramatic standoffs where we all aim at eachother n back away slowly in different directions
Eventually we developed a shoot first ask questions later policy

How are you guys still playing Fallout?

Because it's a game you can sink in 100 hours+ into reasonably on a single playthrough and considering it came out in November people with casual gaming habits are still digging into that number.

How are you guys still playing Fallout?
There are more side quests than I think you realized. Some of them are pretty epic, and you only find them by exploring.
With all the expansions and mods, I probably put 500-600 hours into Fallout 3 easily. They have built a far larger and complex world and I expect to be playing Fallout 4 for years to come.
-
Because it's a game you can sink in 100 hours+ into reasonably on a single playthrough and considering it came out in November people with casual gaming habits are still digging into that number.
I might be twice that far in and I still have a robust quest list outside of the main story.

I don't play much but I've been mostly avoiding the main story line
-
That patch got delayed awhile too. Haven't tried it on ps4 yet. Hope it's alright.
It's great, actually. It actually shows you what settlers are assigned to. That's the only difference I've noticed.

Exactly. It's massive. I'm not even making progress on the main storyline right now. Between the Railroad, Brotherhood, and Minutemen, I'm crazy busy. I play about an hour a day. I've got about 300 settlers spread across my settlements. Maybe more. I've got everything walled in and well defended, so when I do have to go help out a settlement, it consists of me hanging out on my perch and picking off whatever was stupid enough to attack.
My new favorite? Spectacle Island. I said "What the freak is out there?" on the map and swam out. It's pretty sweet once you get past the nasty inhabitants, but I'm not walling the thing off, and it was almost immediately somehow attacked by Super Mutants despite being in the middle of the damn Atlantic.
-
I've also built up 5 companions to their strongest level, and Piper, Cait, and Curie have all fallen in love. It's not nearly as awkward as I had hoped when they run into each other. I think I'll stick with Curie for a while. Maybe go back to Piper. Maybe build up some of the others. I'm intrigued by Macready, but then you lose the lovers perk.

JFIF you ever take a crack at XCOM 2 yet? lol excrement is brutal.but fun as hell.
-
Still need to play the series. Only played a little of part 1 back on ps3 .
How the hell have you, an avid gamer, not played the Uncharted Series? Get on that excrement man. That is phenomenal stuff you are missing out on. Tons of fun in all 3 games, and I know I'm not the only one who can't wait for UC4 in April
-

The game shouldn't have been released. It plays like excrement and they need native control support like they had with the previous game.
Nvidia needs to release drivers and Firaxis/2k needs to patch this excrement asap. It's pretty freaking cool at its core though.

Those guys deserve a break but perfectionists won't be satisfied until the game is damn near perfect. And let's be honest if it's true 'Naughty Dog' quality, it's going to win GOTY. So all their work will be vindicated in the end.
And I assume after release everybody gets a few weeks to just calm down and relax before half the team shifts to the Last of Us 2 and the other starts trying to come up with/develop a new IP for the end of PS4 lifespan.

It's excrement for their kids. That's all I know. All the people I know who work there have children, and it's been really hard on both them and the kids to be gone basically all the time. My one friend goes and lays in his daughters' room at like 1 AM and wakes up at 6 to spend a couple of hours with them before school for them and work for him.

As I said, it sucks for the kids. These guys spend every single free minute with their kids because they know it gets crazy before a release. They know what's up, but it always takes the kids by surprise. Changing jobs when all you've done is game design is seriously hard too.

Fallout 4 SPOILERS ahead, just in case someone just started playing.
..........
So I stealthily acquired a suit of power armor from the Atom Cats a couple weeks ago. They still like me, and I removed all the pieces in Sanctuary, but I still have to 'steal' the frame to enter it after all this time. I just don't bother using it, but I find it annoying.
I was able to play all the factions with/against each other, but I am stuck on a couple side missions because I can't talk to the one BOS douche as the next conversation results in the Railroad becoming an enemy. No option to tell the BOS to go freak themselves, or at the very least be non-committal. Should of been an option here for me to accept the assignment, but port off to warn the Railroad and help repel the attack incognito.
I love the fact that some full body items can be 'woven' now. I find it odd though that I could weave Piper's coat, but not Cait's corset. I haven't tried all the companions yet, but I'm guessing this was just missed before the patch release. I hope they fix it, because I would rather they be rocking their designed looks rather than combat armor. For now Cait is looking all Matrix in a Courser outfit with sunglasses. I would probably be wearing the same if not for all the legendary bonuses I get from my normal armor.

Your power armor can really be stolen? I need to protect mine better. I have 10 suits setup on the foundation next to the primary house in Sanctuary. I would be pissed if my jet pack X-01 went away.

I've said it before, but this game has the potential to change the landscape of gaming forever, based entirely on its scale.
It's based purely as an exploration game, and will forever be boring in the eyes of many people, but that doesn't have anything to do with what element it brings to the table that will allow other devs to go way further with the type of games more people will enjoy.
Because it will be so revolutionary, that's why it will be worth owning IMO.
-
yeah, people have been waiting on No Man's Sky for a few years now. I'm amped.
another sony exclusive. well itll be on PC eventually.
-
Fire Emblem Fates on 3DS is really good. really wish Nintendo would grow some balls and stop hoarding their best titles on handheld. or just efficiently market and develop a console. lol
i think amiibo's helped push them into the black for the first time in a while.
traded my Wii U in after playing Xenoblade Chronicles X. unless your a kid or having groups of people over regularly the system is pretty meh.
the online infrastructure is like a decade behind lol.
they just tapped out and will be rolling out half of the NXT unit by the end of this year i think lol.
-
oh, The Division will be out soon. I will be on that for at least 4 or 5 months. longer if they can release the expansions in a somewhat timely fashion.
season pass already pre ordered off the beta alone.
great squad based shooting MMORPG lite, and unlike Destiny , it has an actual story.

I've had no man's sky pegged as the most hyped disappointment in video games for awhile. My guess is that everyone who gets it will freak out about how amazing and unique the procedural generation is for a few weeks then after all the craziest stuff is spammed all over every forum for the game people will get bored quickly.

Depends on your expectations . It should be commended just on ambition alone unless it's the buggiest launch ever .
Shadow Of Mordor was a 25 to 30 hour assassin's creed/arkham action game clone in a Lord Of The Rings skin, but the Nemesis system was a very fresh and innovative gameplay mechanic that won it tons of awards

If by "fresh and innovative" you mean "tedious and annoying", I agree. It just turned the game into a seemingly endless grindfest.

I waa referring to the random generation algorithms on enemies, them retaining scars in areas you've given them mortal wounds to , and adding a layer of strategy way using them as moles to infiltrate . Etc etc
I beat the game in 30 hours . If that's what you consider a grindfest, I dunno what else to tell you .
The whole point of the game was chopping down the army of the man who butchered you and your family .
It made a stab fest more entertaining and had a system in which the technical aspects were impressive .
To each his own though.

Second prediciton: No man's sky's lasting impact on games will be inspiring something much greater a few years down the line.
The ambition is deserving of praise and it seems enough people are hyped for it that it will sell well. I have always been disappointed with games that get this level of hype for being revolutionary.

Now thst I can agree with .
Even if No Man's Sky falls short it will open the door to bigger ideas moving forward .
The Snowdrop Engine tgat was created from ground up for The Division is good enough to give Unreal a run for its money .
I'm curious if they start licensing the excrement out of it as the status quo for hardware gets better slowly

If all goes well, it will be setting the stage for an entire new generation of MMORPG. Right now it is just a roided out version of the old game Privateer.

Someone returned my stolen Power Armor suits in a weird way. I found them facing each other behind a house in Sanctuary Hills. Just glad they're back.
On an unrelated note, the game isn't as much fun now that I went in the Institute. I know I'm going to have to choose a side soon, and I hate that I won't be able to keep doing everything.

I found a suit that way once as well.
I actually started over once I started hitting 'this faction will hate you' points in the story. You can play the Institute for a bit from both sides, but eventually you get painted into a corner. I have a new toon up to level 25 with all my perks pre-planned. Going to do all the side quests and settlement building I can until expansions and mods start coming out.
Is it still really a spoiler? Han Solo dies. In other news... Build your Institute teleportation thing with the Minutemen. Take the quest, but don't share the data you get from the Institute with ANYBODY until you are ready for the game to start closing in.

Just make a hard save before you pee anyone off and go back to that to see what happens doing things differently.

It's solid. But been on pc a while
Basically a MMO lite combat system put into the MOBA genre

It's all about the division .
I gave it lofty expectations after the closed beta
It is definitely meeting them. This game is the reason I pre ordered a ps4 at e3 in 2013.
I now have a PC to run the infinitely better looking version, but PC =hacker city .
This game is pretty much what destiny shouldve been from a game design standpoint

Realise I'm a little out of date here, but I just played The Order: 1886. It's pretty linear and simplistic, it's short, and the combat system isn't exactly complex; on the other hand it's absolutely stunning to look at, the world is beautifully conceived (Knights of the Round Table meets Victorian England meets some supernatural stuff with some technology sprinkled in in a steampunk kind of way) and the story is excellent. It's definitely one of the more cinematic games I've played and you seem to spend as much time watching cutscenes as you do actually playing, but it's worth a few bucks of anyone's money.
It's also set up perfectly for a sequel, and if they can fix the slightly clunky gameplay without losing everything that makes it so immersive then they could have something really fantastic on their hands.

It took a beating from critics for being short and a lot of cutscenes .
Me personally? I loved it . The story and universe they created of a Camelot inspired supernatural alternate history theme. It could've been botched but was done well.
It's absurd they pumped out such graphics from the ps4 hardware .
Either way, yes, it's incredibly short . But a great game , amazing story n characters , and I was ready for a sequel soon aa I finished it .
I hope they don't let it'd reception bother them and give us am even better 2nd installment

Did you ever play P.T.?
If anyone has it on their PS4 hard drive, don't delete it. It's part of gaming history .
P.T. could've been the best horror game EVER.
It's a labyrinthine nightmare but if you beat it, it's revealed as a demo for the newest Silent Hill game.
It was to be Written and Directed by Hideo Kojima (Metal Gear Series) and Guillermo Del Toro.
With Konami's huge fallout with Kojima , the project was scrapped and Sony had to remove it from its store .
Ps4 with P.T. on it sold for over a grand lol.
It hurts to think what could've been

Never heard of it, sounds good though. I loved the Silent Hill series.

When I read about this I thought it was gonna be something over the top and sexual, and ended up being complete nonsense.
Blizzard will replace the 'over-the-shoulder' victory pose for fodder for masturbation hero Tracer in response to a fan who complained it "undermines" much of the good work the game has done to promote a roster of diverse, strong female characters.
Blizzard says it will remove an “over-the-shoulder” victory pose by the fodder for masturbation hero Tracer, following a complaint on the Battle.net forums that it turns the time-bending teleporter into “another bland female sex symbol.”
And the devastatingly perverse pose

Do you like story driven games with incredible graphics? If so get The Order. It isn't at all challenging bar a couple of annoying fights, but it's amazing to look at and a fantastic world. I'm still thinking about it a few days after I finished.

been following this for a couple years now. it hits PC midnight tonight and PS4/XB1 and i think Vita in a few months.
this game was made by less than 20 people. 8 of the core development group and just a few more added on staff once they exceeded their kickstarter goal

Definitely gives off vibes of Zelda and Secret of Mana vibe
But also makes me instinctively think its going to be a trash indie game that nobody will ever hear or care about.

I don't see how it can be "this generation's" Zelda when it's built to look like an 8 or 16-bit game. Thanks, I'll pass. If I'm going to play a super old looking game, it's for nostalgia.

The art direction dumps on anything from that era . 8/16 bit or not .
Has various modern mechanics in it. And was made by a small staff for very little money .
All things considered it's unique and impressive imo.

My friends and I got tired of waiting for Sega to mention anything about pso 2 coming to the USA, so we finally said ef it and are all downloading the Japanese version. It was a total pain in the dick to register, but there's easy mods to translate it all to English.
So I'll see

So after playing Hyper Light Drifter a few hours, I must say im impressed. This game tells a story without actually telling you much. The scenery itself always has you trying to piece together the history or purpose of the world your in. The lead Designer had heart disease and almost died and used that as an influence to make this game. Hence, your character is infected with a sickness he has no idea how to cure so he ventures into this odd dystopian waste.
I feel like they drew some of the scenery and tone from Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind (the old Studio Ghibli gem) I looked into it and he indeed cited Nausicaa as an influence.
Gameplay wise? It reminds me if someone blended Zelda :A Link To The Past with Dark Souls. I cite Souls because dungeons throw waves of enemies at you in closed spaces in which you have to strategically operate or you will get spanked. The only healing mechanic is finding medkits, which are just sparse enough to make it work and keep you on your toes at all times.
Exploration is pretty big part of the game since there is very little guidance. So far all they did is suggest to kill the first boss. The world itself is completely open and pretty damn big.
Glad to see it generally getting 9+/10 from Users. I assume this will get 8.5-9.5 from most gaming publications.
The soundtrack is eerie and engaging. I just feel like theres so many things going on and its delivered in a understated fashion that somehow immerses you into the world.

I am balls deep in the division right now (PS4). But I also play Rainbow6 siege.
-
I didn't like The Division. It felt very repetitive to me.
-
I wish someone would make a tactical shooter with the divisions 3rd person view. Or just make an HD version of socom 2 which I probably sunk 2000 hours into as a teenager.
-
I never thought I'd say this, but I'm actually really into the Elder Scrolls Online. I just like doing random quests and leaving the game whenever I feel like it.
-
I'm really enjoying Just Cause 3, but that's not really surprising as I also loved Mad Max.

Replaying the uncharted series. May 10th.

Is it worth $20 on PC? Is there a free demo floating around?
I don't play PC games but I would have gladly payed $40 on Xbox One. It's really fun but extremely competitive
-

It was free on PS4 for a long time. I don't know about PC.

i know quite a few people who are into that. never really bothered looking into it

Lol
-

If your competitive it's pretty hard to put down at times. How good your teammates are will decide a lot .
I can play pretty decent alone , but that's also a professional gamer game. Sone guys play it 24/7 and you can find out the hard way if you get high enough in ranked play lol
-
Rocket league has made it so I've only gotten one new game since it came out in July. Almost all gaming time I get goes to that game. It's a game that anybody can pick up and play but it has a very high Skill ceiling if you want to learn the ins and outs of what you can do with the car.
Easily worth $20.

Rocket League is my freaking jam

Anyone check out the battleborne or fodder for masturbation beta's which both started yesterday?
Rare for a buy to play MOBA to come out on a console. Even more bizarre for 2 in the same month.
Although fodder for masturbation really isnt described as one
-
Socom 2 was my favorite game of all time. PS2 gave you the headset with the game.
Mine too. I spent years after that game died and socom 3 sucked trying to find something that gave me the same rush. Never even came close and I doubt a game like that would be popular now that everything is respawn frag fests.

Also I picked up Ratchet and Clank last weekend.
Game is awesome. If anyone has a fondness for the old games, or even a desire to play a plat former, pick this one up. It's a spectacular remake, very well done by Insomniac

I love both, but what's Warhammer?
Originally a fantasy table top game from the 1980s that morphed into a huge franchise.
So basically instead of historical total war , it's more like lord of the rings total war. I didn't even know it was in development till a month or two ago. I'm surprised they didn't do something fantasy themed sooner to be honest.
-
I remember a Starcraft like Warhammer game I did beta for a decade ago. It was really fun.
The table top version of Warhammer hit it's peak well into the late 90's. People hand painted their armies and built battlefields for them. Worth a Google if you want to see full on geek crazy.

They still do. Or used to. My wife's little sister married a guy who managed a Games Workshop. I set foot in there once. It was terrifying.
-
Last I knew, people still paint and play Warhammer. I used to play D&D in a comic shop a few years back and there were guys who would always be in there painting then playing.
Given how nerdy my hobbies are, I don't knock anyone else's but Warhammer is insane. Those guys would get there when the store opened, buy a few boxes of miniatures, read the abilities in their manuals, then glue/base/paint the army, set it up, and by the time I was leaving the store in the evening they were finally playing out a battle. The battles would only last a half hour or so. That's dedication.

I guess Total War needed something new, but I really wish they would've gone with something modern instead. Like maybe WW2-ish.
-

WW 2 Total war would last like 5 minutes.
Mechanized warfare more or less defeats the purpose of the total war franchise. A lot of the fundamental concepts are not possible with modern artillery, tanks or aircraft. At that point, it becomes Command and Conquer.
-
Also isn't that basically Company of Heroes? I've never played it, but it seems to be close to what you're clamoring for.
-
I love both, but what's Warhammer?
I'm amazed that nobody answered this by basically saying warcraft and starcraft meets dungeon and dragons.
Actually I'm pretty sure warcraft (and possibly starcraft) were actually based off of Warhammer.
Warhammer has made a freak ton of games over the years, although I'm pretty sure the bulk weren't very good.
I think the only one that was a major hit has been their RTS series.
I've never played a total war game, but this could be kinda interesting

Yeah, that's true. I guess there's only so much material. I still played them all though. It's a great feeling when the auto battle says you'll likely lose then go on the battlefield and tear excrement up. Love it.
-
On a side note what are the total war games actually like?
I recall downloading a free trial of one probably like 10 years ago and it seemed like there was way too much excrement going on.
Is it kind of like Romance of the three kingdoms?

On you computer. In your home. 10 hours with little actual involvement. Hand painting little figures that you are going to use on a big table top world in a shop you have to drive to is a whole different level. I play Catan, Dominion, etc. Warhammer is just sad AFAIC.
-
What's Warhammer 40k?
Warcraft meets Starcraft (same kind of gameplay)
Basically what JFIF said, it's a cross of fantasy and sci-fi set in the future.
On a side note they just announced a new warhammer 40k game which looks legit

Decided on a whim to buy Uncharted 4 tonight. Went on to Playstation Store and I don't appear to be able to buy the game, I have to buy the Deluxe Digital Bundle for $100 when the physical version in the store is $80. WTF is all that about? $100 for a game is outrageous.
-
Should be able to buy the normal version it's probably just harder to find. They try to get people to buy the rip off editions
-
I was gonna buy it but my brother is nearly done with it already. I'll just get it from him. Dying to play this.
-
On another note my friends told me to buy The Division so I got it used from Best Buy. I didn't want to buy it and now regret buying it, game is not fun so far. Maybe I can return it

Uncharted 4 is one of the best games ever
Agreed. I think that the Last Of Us is a better story. But Uncharted 4 is an epic adventure with awesome gameplay (yes some hiccups here and there) a great story and for what I've seen, the best visuals ever made in a game. The number of different environments they pull off is incredible. Especially the underwater stuff in kings bay. That is flat out insane gorgeous.
Naught dog should be incredibly proud. It's a wonderful game that will inspire game developers for decades.
Now to try a crushing run, and hit up the multiplayer.

I still think that's fair value, even a bargain, considering the amount of entertainment you get out of it. You pay $25 for an IMAX 3D movie that lasts 2 hours, etc.

This. I paid $0.30 an hour for Fallout 4, and I will get that down to 15 with my dlc/mods play through when I pick it up again in a few months.
-
I've come around a bit on the price of video games thanks to that argument. For games a I get a ridiculous number of hours of entertainment from, $60 or even $80 is reasonable.
The problem is when I go and buy a game like Arkham Knight for $60 and then spend another $40 (or was it $60?) for the Season Pass, and it's barely even worth the original $60. Or Star Wars Battlefront that I thankfully skipped the Season Pass on specifically thanks to Arkham Knight.
I maybe got 10 hours of gameplay from Battlefront.
-
Games used to be much more expensive relatively speaking. Original NES games were frequently$50 and that was in the 80s.
-
I mean if you're a smart gamer you NEVER pay 60$. With Amazon prime or best buy GCU you get 20% off all new releases. Then many games come with a 10$ gift card when you pre-order, and both come with free release date delivery.
So for example I'm getting fodder for masturbation for 60$-20%-10$ which essentially makes it 38$ for a brand new game plus tax. And those games typically have trade in value of 35-45$ for a while.
I don't know anything about Canada but if anything games are CHEAPER today than they were when we were growing up.
And that's before even factoring in relatively speaking. However every game is a shitty recycled FPS so what else can you expect
-
Arkham Knight ...... barely even worth the original $60.
Behave yourself.
-
Behave yourself.
Sorry, but Knight was the worst game of the franchise.
It forced the Batmobile on you, with its wonky controls. The story was "good" if you didn't know who the Red Hood was--which practically any slightly-more-than-casual Batman fan would know. And it wasn't particularly long, unless you count the ridiculous number of awful Riddler challenges, which was the only part I refused to complete. That's even adding in the extra hours of content in the final DLC.
Aside from the fact that it was a game where you got to play Batman, it wasn't a particularly good game at all. It was utterly forgettable.

You are wrong.
The Batmobile was an excellent addition, the fact that you weren't very good at driving it doesn't mean it was poor. The tank battles were awesome fun.

Actually, you're wrong.
I became elite at driving and fighting with the Batmobile. It doesn't change the fact that it was a completely new introduction to a series that didn't have it in any of its previous iterations.
The tank battles weren't fun. They were repetitious annoyances that broke the immersion of playing as Batman, which is the point of the game. The entire game was one long sequence of repetitions. It was easily the worst of the entire series.

This is stupid though. We're arguing about being good at a subpar game. The story was mostly trash--especially if you knew who the Red Hood was going in.
I'm actually a little curious to see the special edition coming out for the Xbone with restyled Arkham Asylum and City. If there's some new content, I may pick it up. Asylum was a fantastic game.

No, I'm an Xbox fan. I'm not anti-other-guy like many XB vs PS people are. I just don't like the controller for PS. I haven't played a PC game in at least 10 years but I have a stack of them I want to eventually get to.

you at least know A is going to be next to B. Or X next to Y.
Sony didn't want to change it for each region so they used something universal like symbols. Still doesn't make it less weird.

It's not the buttons I don't like, it's the sticks in the middle of the controller. I don't know why, but the positions on the XB controllers is more comfortable to me. Plus, I like the triggers on the XB controllers better.

Not really universal though. In Asia O is the button they use to accept something and X is usually to go back. It was really annoying when playing games on the PS4 I got in HK.

I know its not really new technology or anything
But today I saw they made a 360 degree Warhammer Trailer.
Ive never seen game companies do this before, I have to guess with VR becoming more mainstream and expanding mobile internet use that this is going to be the norm soon.
It serves basically no practical use whatsoever (for now) but its just interesting cool technology
Something like this is what im talking about

(will only work on mobile or tablets I guess?)
not a very interesting trailer outside of the whole 360 thing though

not a very interesting trailer outside of the whole 360 thing though

Coach K said it already but it's worth saying again: Uncharted 4 has the best graphics I've seen in a game. Gotta hand out props to IJR on this one.

So when are your boys at Naughty Dog going to be comfortable announcing the new secret IP they are working on that will replace Uncharted in their working lineup?
I imagine there will be 3 The Last of Us iterations, with them working hard on TLOU2 now (and an undoubtable formal announcement coming at E3) and they will need their second team on something. I'll be curious to see where they go from the treasure hunting Nathan Drake.

I asked that last week and was told nobody had started working on anything new yet, but I doubt that applies to Druckmann. He also said that he doesn't know of any announcements at E3, but again that could change based on Druckmann. They usually have some members moving on to other projects before release, but it was touch and go all the way through. One of the guys I know is the lead VFX artist and he wasn't sure it would all come together until a couple of weeks before the release. There were some sequences that didn't look great until the last second. Nobody had time to move on to the next project yet.

Just looked it up. Didn't know Sony was even developing one. What exactly is taking oculus rift so long to go to market? I thought after the acquisition by Facebook that it would only be a matter of time, and would end up being compatible to consoles.

Sometimes I come home drunk and fire up the ps4 for some mindless gaming for 15-20 mins. I can totally see myself trying the psvr and throwing up all over my living room.

Oculus requires crazy hardware right now. I'm sure it'll be way better than PSVR, but they need to figure out how to run it on regular computers.

I have zero interest in VR as I think its a gimmick for not just this but the entire next generation of consoles as well (it could potentially actually evolve into something in the generation following thst)
That said I was under the impression xbox and ps4 were making refreshs of the current consoles which would be VR compatible.
At least I recall reading about xbox making a project Scorpio which will support VR gaming

Rent it if it's in a Redbox or something. You can beat the story in a few hours. Fun game but really not very long.

You may want to talk to people who have it or use it. I know someone with an OR dev kit and it's damn impressive. From what I hear from E3, PSVR is going to be awesome.

VR only matters if the porn is good. Let's be honest.

I haven't tried VR yet but I'm told by my techy coworkers that it's incredible. Can't wait to see where it's at a few years from now

Dcm just likes taking the contrary opinion. If the masses are excited about something, he'll tell us that it'll suck.

I dont doubt that, but I dont think technology is where it needs to be for it to succeed. And lets also remember that more often than not these extreme changes to the gaming industry tend to do poorly.
Virtual boy, much of nintendos wacky ideas the last few years, 3D, smellovision etc.
VR isnt going to be mainstream in the near future.
It makes sense to eventually get there, but its probably not happening until the gen after next generation of consoles.
Maybe the ps6 will have good VR

Have you tried it, or are you just making baseless assumptions?
-
Have you tried it, or are you just making baseless assumptions?
I did once
I think it could be fun in short bursts, but i dont see it replacing consoles anytime soon.
Again the biggest thing is how profitable would it be. VR units and the hardware to support them will probably be cost prohibitive to many people, meaning that it becoming mainstream could be a difficult task in the near future.
Thats why I do think its a possibility of catching on one day, but the technology is very much in nits infancy

That's why there are things like PSVR to bridge the gap between mobile VR and OR. This isn't one company trying stuff out. This is a broad push industry wide.
-
It's already mainstream. Google Cardboard and Samsung have seen to the fact that anyone can have basic VR. OR is the top end, and PSVR is basic gamer.

I agree with your argument. When VR becomes popular it wont be packaged with a console itll be its on entity. Console gaming is dead and VR isnt going to save it.

You can keep hoping that but 3 major consoles still exist and arent exactly in danger of their companies going under.
PC is great for a lot of stuff but a ton of people just want the simplicity of the console at the expense of performance.

Well, in the last generation the 3 makers sold a combined 260 million units. This generation it isn't even at 100 million yet. Not saying that it's dying, but it definitely isn't the bellwether it used to be.

Hardware is only as good as its games. The technology for VR games is there, but the great thing about VR is that they don't have to be games for it to be fun. I've seen it used to simulate a roller coaster, being in a spaceship, etc. Wouldn't be surprised if someone opened up a VR shop like an arcade, and just had a bunch of Occulus Rifts with various types of games/etc. I'd pay to go there. Don't need to have one for myself.

To be fair how many units they sell really isn't the most important thing.
Last generation xbox 360 and ps3 were sold at a loss per unit. All the money comes from games sales,
Though obviously the more people with your console the more likely people are to buy your games.
The biggest thing though is I think the old consoles are much more active than they were the previous generation.
As in a good amount of games are/were made for ps3/xbox 360 so they're still making money there

If you are talking about Nintendo they have more money in reserve than anyone. They do whatever the freak they feel like because the company doesn't need to make money for an absurd amount of time before they get in financial trouble.

Do most games even support 1080p at 60 FPS?
I would think we'll be lucky if next generation gaming can even handle 4k..

Full 1080 and 4k at 60 fps, not really. As far as future, it will not be next year. I suspect mainstream adoption by 2020.

That pretty much means it's going to be Incorporated into the next generation of consoles right from tbe get go.
I don't think that will be the case unless they're charging 500-600$ + for a console.
I think 4k is going to be a bigger priority than VR

The PS4 has sold 13.6 million units in the first 2.5 years. It took 4 years for PS3 to hit that mark. It's not like we have an equal point of comparison yet given the length of time to reach those numbers.
EDIT: I'm talking about US numbers, not worldwide.

Yep. It's unfair to compare sales right now. The PS4 (this gen's current leader) has been out for 2.5 years. Of the Top 50 selling Xbox 360 games, only 5 were released in the first 3 years of the console's life, and Halo 3 is the only one in the Top 20.
By comparison, PS4 already has one title that has sold more units than Halo 3 ever did (CoD BO 3), and 18 titles that would be in the Top 50 all time for Xbox 360 games globally.

So my brother told me Pokemon Go came out and my son got all excited. Downloaded it this morning and just spent my night hunting for imaginary Pokemon on the street. It probably would have looked weirder if there hadn't been more than 30 other people around doing the same freaking thing.
This is going to be huge. Since it will probably get dorky people outside and moving around, that's not a bad thing.

An iPhone app (probably Android too) that puts Pokemon in the real world. You find them via augmented reality and catch them by throwing the little ball things at them until one catches it and then you can apparently train them and "evolve" them into new Pokemon. That part is all foreign to me, but it's surprisingly fun to find them. I wouldn't play it if it weren't for my son, but it's not a bad way to spend a bit of time.

Nintendo has almost never made DLC for one of its games, doesn't know how to do online multiplayer, it's consoles have struggled mightily, is BRAND new to mobile just coming out with its first mobile games ever, has absolutely no success with 3rd party publishers, and handhelds will slowly get replaced with smart phones.
Nintendo is in a lot more trouble than you think. They might have money, and will have a presence in the gaming industry for years (Sega still makes plenty of games) But I could absolutely see them being forced to sell to Microsoft or Sony at some point, especially since I'd bet there's an very strong chance the Nintendo NX is a total flop

Nintendo has the Japanese hand held market on lock and it's not even close. That can sustain their business alone, and virtually has for the past 10 years.
Nintendo US is not indicative of their total financial health. The Japanese commute lends to all type of people playing their Nintendo 3DS or DX or whatever the freak system they have. It's a culture where mass transit is part of life, and Nintendo is so thoroughly ingrained in the culture. Microsoft doesn't even bother selling consoles in Japan because of the stranglehold Nintendo and to a lesser extent, Sony has the market on there.

Never made DLC? So they never sought to rip people off? How will they ever survive?

From a financial perspective the company is doing just fine. Sega restructured itself and smartly exited the hardware business and merged with Sammy, and they've been doing fine since. Japanese companies are a lot more diversified than you think. I haven't looked into the figures that deeply but it looks like the Wii U isn't even a huge part of their overall business. Hell, the IP alone for Pokemon makes them a lot of money. Domestically they're doing just fine. Now that they're entering into the mobile gaming market, you should expect to see even more profits coming from that part of the business.
And why in the world would they have to "sell to Sony or Microsoft"? That comment alone shows your lack of knowledge of how companies are run, or anything about the financial markets.

Obviously not. The novelty is through the roof right now, and will probably increase for a few more months as it ingrains itself globally. There'll be drop off from there, but Pokemon's entire model has always been good at getting obsessive/OCD types invested in the game to completion.

There's literally almost no gameplay what so ever.
Essentially it's a GPS map of your real surroundings. And if you see a pokemon you walk up to it and throw a ball at it by flicking your finger. That's essentially 95% of the game. There's also combat but it's apparently super dialed down and not very interesting.
Unless Nintendo evolves the game or adds new features I expect it to lose its charm really fast.
However it would be really easy for Nintendo to spice it up simply by adding features from the Gameboy games, like being able to battle friends and add tournaments
Maybe they even integrate it with the gameplay games for some cross functionality

Consider the number of people who have a cell phone vs how many have an android or iPhone product.
It's not even gonna be close.
And the 3ds doesn't exactly have a ton of games, so I'd imagine the overwhelming majority of 3ds owners will still get pokemon games when they come out.
Biggest difference of all though is that the 3ds games would have a story/campaign while pokemon go is basically a sandbox and multiplayer
And personally I think if they added some cross compatability between the two, it would increase sales

I just read on the WSJ that mobile game revenue should increase to around $100 billion by year's end. That's insane. Nintendo can either continue to develop this game to keep people interested (which probably won't work since mobile games have short shelf lives), or invest in new games. With the money they're making now they can create a whole division devoted to mobile games. Combine that with a global brand and they may have something.

Yay, lets microtransaction the excrement out of everybody with a chemical imbalance
-
I used to sell Everquest currency and rare items on Ebay as a teenager. Back when Ebay was the wild west. I made tens of thousands of dollars in a short time doing this. I played the excrement out of the game, but more or less had a firm grasp of the in game economy and the resources to secure rare items.
The currency ended up having the biggest value on E-bay and was where the greatest market inefficiency was. I found out you could sell the rarest items for ridiculous amounts of platinum (the name of the currency) in game. So I'd sell rare items for large amounts of platinum, then sell the platinum on E-bay. Then when I had some capital, I'd buy the rare items ON ebay..then sell them in game, and re-sell the plat. This was an insane gravy train until Sony came in and banned E-bay from selling anything.
Most of the people buying the currency were either starting or tech nerds who had money to spend but not time. I find that the creation of virtual value beyond fascinating as a human behavior and market. There's very few things like it on earth. You can argue that perhaps the game makers are undervaluing their product, but the creation of this "service" industry is pretty remarkable.

are they keeping track of how much total time the pokemon go servers have been down since its launch?
i've probably opened the app like 8 times, and about 5 of those times i've gotten "servers are down" messages

Uncharted 4 is so freaking awesome. Finally finished it last night. Had only been playing it a level at a time to drag out the experience.
Finished it last night. Loved the story, the visuals were stunning and the way they finished Nathan's story was excellent, but I don't think it's my favourite Uncharted game. I feel like there was a lot more running and jumping and climbing and running and jumping and climbing and quite a bit less stopping and thinking and puzzling. Will have another playthrough soon and take my time to explore and find the treasures.
How long do I have to wait for the next Tomb Raider on PS4?
-
Uncharted 2 was the best of the series, by most measures. It was the "Aliens" of the series
Although that analogy isn't fair to Uncharted, since every game has been excellent, not just the second.

Agree with all of that. I was thinking last night which was my favourite and it was definitely #2.
I didn't understand the point of the driving sequences in #4. There didn't seem to be any point to them other than the one minor puzzle with the elevator.

You hit the nail on the head here for me. Does every single obstacle have to involve gripping and jumping?

$60 isnt that bad, considering you get the replica mini of the classic system, and all those games, and the controller (and a $10 spare is awesome). i think thats pretty cool, the case being my favorite part.

The jumping/climbing is my favorite aspect of Uncharted. The grappling hook and rock pick axe were cool additions IMO. Obviously like the story and the shooting too.
-

Uncharted 2 and Uncharted 3 and especially The Last Of Us weren't platformers. They were all intelligent adventures that required you to stop and think and retrace and examine and explore. Uncharted 4 had a great story but it was very much a linear run and jump and shoot and watch but don't think very much game.

Those mini NES units are going to fly off the shelves. The idea that Nintendo will ever run out of money before SONY or Microsoft is ridiculous. Not only are the currently catering to nostalgia with Pokemon, they're banking it with a new generation to be spent in another 10 years. I would be shocked if it doesn't work again with the NES--which will allow use of the Wii controller and support more games in the future.

Not that I support piracy but there's a million shelf top boxes you can get throw on your TV and easily have every NES, SEGA, SNES, game ever on it. Then you just need to be USB controls that replicate the originals for that nostalgic experience.

I think people are forgetting that Nintendo only really has royalty rights to Pokemon Go. It was designed by a company that isn't even owned by Nintendo. I think whatever revenue it generates, Nintendo's share will be like 10pct.

And yet they did. Nintendo gets 10% plus whatever they get for owning part of Niantic. Apple and Google take huge cuts.
-
Yeah analysts on the street are saying that Nintendo dropped the ball on this one. Granted people will still associate the game with Nintendo, but from a revenue standpoint the $200-$300 million would be a drop in the bucket for a company valued at $30 billion. Stock is already overvalued and will likely return to normal levels.

Maybe they will see the light and make a legit Pokémon games for the NX. They are going to make a stupid amount of money from that NES throwback they just announced. Nostalgia is a helluva drug.

I live in apparently the biggest Pokemon hotspot in the world. People drive hours to play here. I can't imagine if I didn't live here that I'd play much, but it's a pretty safe assumption walking around here that 75% of the people around you are playing.

If you're in a mall or something just look around and you will probably see a person or group all walking with their phones out in front of their face. They are playing Pokémon go. I didn't think many people were playing it around here but now I look for them when I'm out and usually see at least one.

Educated investors knew the deal already, but were just riding the hype train, and the drop was a result of profit taking. I'm sure lots of people made money in the last few weeks. Regardless of what transpired the PokemonGo phenomenon is still good for Nintendo and its investors.
-
Problem with Pokemon Go is that the game has no depth. For a few days it's great, you go out and find pokestops and catch unique pokemon.
After a week all the Pokemon you see are the same shitty ones you have and it's too freaking hot to walk anywhere. That and you can't track pokemon anymore because that feature was disabled to preserve bandwidth on the servers. Now you just have to walk around aimlessly hoping you get lucky and find it.

Another problem I have with it is you would expect the best pokemon to be in rural areas like mountains or lakes, what have you. Instead it's best to be in a big city at a mall or a park with 500 other people. I suppose it helps with the social aspect but I'm not driving to Central Park to play Pokemon with a bunch of autists. I'd prefer to play at my leisure in the 'burbs. It's currently really unbalanced in that way

i thought the general concensus about that game when news first broke was that it was going to be a great idea but the game would be before its time......in other words, the game would be more about future possibilities in the gaming world than it would be about the game itself in the present day setting (which would more or less kind of suck)

so apparently the new madden game is actually good? can anybody here confirm?
on a side note, imo sports games have all been so bad across the board in recent times.
kind of funny thinking about how, IMO, there hasn't been an enjoyable madden game since madden 05. madden 08 was okay. what the freak have they been doing. that's 12 years B.
in that regard FIFA has gone to excrement as well, the last playable fifa was fifa 12 5 years ago. it was a very good game. fifa 11 was great. people are saying PES has now overtaken FIFA but I have an xbox one, so the appeal of buying it is less since I can't download player/kit patches the way you can on PS4, since PES doesn't have many of the naming licenses.
the last nba 2k game i enjoyed was 2K8 but after that i thought it kept going downhill, i think i gave up seeing if the new yearly 2k would improve around 2011 or 2012 because it kept sucking more and more, so i have no idea what direction their franchise has gone the past few years.
i don't know if all of this is because sports game developers have really been dropping the ball the past few years, or if it's just me. i wonder if you guys share the same thoughts RE the sports video game genre

I haven't noticed anything noticeably different about any sports game the last few years.

My brother got the mini NES and has been playing Castlevania non-stop. I keep telling him he can't stop the dark lord Dracul, and he keeps saying, "get the freak away from me." Good times.
Picked up the Telltale Batman for 20 bucks, looking forward to it considering I loved their GoT and Wolf Among Us games. The only gaming I was able to do in the last month because of finals and my externship was keeping up with a connected Madden franchise I'm in, so I'm really looking forward to getting nicely toasted and either enjoying some beautiful scenery of Skyrim or getting into a good story which Batman should suffice.

Well, JFIF gets that service, but still, no one else does. I don't know why porno mags are still printed anymore.

I bought an old playboy from the 60s. It's like The Economist or Time Magazine with a centerfold of funbags in the middle. It's funny how they had a panel of experts discussing the evolution of automation in the workforce followed by some naked chick.

Anyone getting "For Honor"? Game releases today. I played the beta over the weekend and it was pretty freaking sweet.
For Honor is a unique and somewhat risky venture in this day and age of publishers being hesitant to stray far from the model of their proven hits. Like a delicious, gamified Turducken, it’s a brawler with the depth of a fighting game inserted into the body of a third-person action game, which is in turn stuffed into an online team-based objective game. And in my roughly 40 hours spent playing a combination of alpha and beta tests, it’s easy for me to say that For Honor’s combat system is the most tactically complete and flexible version of melee combat I’ve ever experienced.
Having never actually fought to the death with an ax or sword, I can only imagine the constant thought process in the head of a knight, viking, or samurai as they square off against an opponent. The thousands of seemingly insignificant techniques and understandings they’ve learned that will quickly lead to a victory or a bloody defeat must flash before their eyes. But as a fantasy nerd that’s dreamed of waging melee combat since I was old enough to swing a stick, For Honor translates that constant stream of internalized kill-or-be-killed information into a system that makes me feel like the master of my style without spending a lifetime of training to get there.
The system, dubbed The Art Of Battle by Ubisoft, is the reason For Honor is more like a traditional fighting game in the vein of Street Fighter or Soul Calibur than the hack-and-slash Dynasty Warriors it appears to be at first glance. Locking onto an opponent puts you into “duel mode,” for lack of a better term, where you can change your guard to block left, right, or top. You can block incoming attacks from the direction you’re guarding, and you have to attack from one of the two directions your opponent isn’t guarding to successfully hit. Sounds simple enough, right?
Well, it isn’t. You then start adding dodges, parries, guardbreaks, counters, light attacks, heavy attacks, attack chains, infinite chains, recoveries, cancels, unblockable attacks, undodgeable attacks, stuns, throws, executions, revives, revenge mode, bleeding effects, and so on and so forth. Mix all of that up and dole it out across 12 distinct heroes and you can start to understand why the skill ceiling of For Honor stretches so high that it can’t be seen with the naked eye.

I'm just not gonna have time to play for a few weeks, and by Early March I'll be more excited for Horizon Zero Dawn and I'll get that at or near launch.

I havent had time to play lately, but fodder for masturbation is the only game installed on my PC. It is a unique and excellent FPS. The fact that the classic RPG trinity is essentially required for victory is cool. I generally tank or heal, but I've been at the pub I just DPS with the gattling gun robot.

I wouldn't have a problem with it if it was just a new/different game. Drake is a likeable character and def added value to the game. Obviously it will work fine, they're just editing hair and funbags onto a CGI body.
But we all know how unrealistic a woman climbing cliffs or shooting machine guns is.

All of the main characters in the series were pretty likeable. They could do a lot of fun things with Chloe, she's a bit less clean cut than Drake.

I kinda thought she was a boring, bland character. Sully, Drake, even Sam have far more personality. I guess I don't really care, I just wish it was a true sequel. Uncharted 4 was probably my favorite game ever, so I don't really want them changing anything.

Except they already decided that four games was as far as Nathan's story was going to go, and they really didn't leave any room for another sequel at the end of the fourth. They're pretty good with story so I think they can do fun things with Chloe - she's already shown herself willing to play both sides and they've hinted more than once at her having done some darker things, so let's see.
A Sully spin off would be awesome, that guy has a huge backstory just waiting to be written.

Fair enough. They could always do a prequel or a chapter from in between 1-4. They concocted Nate having a brother just to create content for #4. Maybe Drake has run his course, I just felt like there was miles of potential and untold backstory there.
Chloe is soft tho. Bailed on Nate when he needed her the most. For that, I can never forgive her.

Mass Effect Andromeda this Tuesday. So many good games this year

I was able to nab a Switch, easily and pain free on release day,(I live across from a Toys R Us and the line was like 4 deep a half hour before it opened on the day of launch so I figured screw it) but didn't have the time or desire to play it yet, so I let my nephew borrow it until he either beat Zelda or got tired of it. Got it back on Monday, along with my 12 year old nephew talking about this game like I did at his age about OOT which made me happy. But I still figured before sitting down to play that all of this was just the nature of the hype machine, that it was like every run of the mill zelda I ever played and while that would certainly be good enough to be a great game, it wouldn't be the groundbreaking experience everyone was discussing.
I was wrong. The game is as good, if not better than everyone is saying. Maybe it's because I'm not used to such an open world experience from a Zelda game, but the map is gigantic and every bit of it is able to be explored as soon as you finish the brief beginning tutorial. It's incredibly addicting, Nintendo as per usual hits all the nostalgia points to keep older fans engaged, but the new non-linear nature of the game is what's going to probably set the mold for the franchise in the future.
As for the Switch itself, I mean it's a one title console at this point, so IMHO save your money until Black Friday, but I really enjoy the tablet portion of the system so far. The screen is big and clear, and everything runs smoothly.
-
I've been playing Mass Effect: Andromeda since release day and I love it. The facial animations are a little bit off, but not nearly as bad as has been complained about. Combat is ridiculous!
The game is basically Dragon Age: Inquisition meets space. Instead of riding horses, though, you get an awesome ATV to drive around in.

im finally co-habitating with my pizza , between work , and her, she hates this game.
thank god her work schedule usually leaves me with a large portion of weekends and the random week nights to get some time in where i do absolutely nothing but game.
ME: Andromeda is a great game with a ton of annoying little flaws that hold it back from being mentioned for game of the year with the littany of quality titles out this year.
Whoever did the character models/animation and texturing, should be ashamed. The scanning of minerals and plants is a beyond tedious return to exploring from ME 1
Overall though, the game is the most ambitious entry, the writing feels like a Mass Effect which was my biggest worry with the new team. Combat is as good as its ever been, although I wish theyd return the skill wheel in lieu of handicapping you to 3 active skills and making you result to hitting pause to switch out skills during cooldowns and for different combat scenarios.
Nakmor Drak is by far the coolest character in the whole series. Love me some Krogan badass behavior.
the accuracy and gunplay is a little off though. i know they have to make you miss occasionally to give you incentive to create a build towards weapon accuracy, but it is really bad sometimes.
multiplayer is fun if you work with a cohesive group who knows how to compliment eachother via combo primes and detonations. otherwise its like hitting your head against the wall.
i heard the ending is very lackluster and abrupt, but you can tell they made a concerted effort to flesh out each planet you can colonize and give you some side quests to make each planet feel less hollow.
Horizon: Zero Dawn is still the most impressive game ive played this year. Mass Effect: Andromeda is definitely better than the reviews bashing it though.
Persona 5 drops tonight and is getting a lot of 10 score reviews. I usually dont put much weight in them but good to see a JRPG getting such critical acclaim. Ill be playing it.

Damn man. I'm still trying to find time to play fodder for masturbation and haven't touched a single Fallout 4 expansion.
Secret World is relaunching as Secret World Legends soon. Free to play on PC. They make their money on vanity items and exp items.
It is essentially the same game with updated graphics and combat system.
Easily the best story, lore, and advancement system in any MMO ever made.
Worth a shot if you didn't try it the first time around.

Yeah, scanning is terrible. Worse is the planet-to-planet animations you have to sit through within systems though.
I love the targeting though. I drop tons of points into my weapon skills. I don't do any biotics. I always go sniper rifle with Mass Effect. I also use SMGs, and if you short-burst them, you have a lot of control (plus I always put the best scopes on my loadouts).
I don't play multiplayer at all.

I don't know much about secret world other than the fact that it went free to play really really quickly (it wasn't originally) so I have a hard time believing those claims
But Funcom is launching their spinoff of age of Conan which is some mmo variant that looks pretty cool

They have the worst marketing in the history of gaming. The original went F2P within a year, but new episodes ran about $20, though most were free to folks that actually bought the game originally.
The story is horror/mystery that starts small and gets all encompassing. You can play alone, or with a group. There are some story missions that require solo, and some missions that require a group, but they have a solid match making system for those. Once I finished the game twice, I only logged in to run those group missions, or when a new solo episode was released.
It's going to be free. Give it an hour or two. The no levels progression is really unique.

Same game engine and as far as I know it's the same story team, so it should be every bit as good. I really like that ND are expanding the stories for all the characters, it means we could get a lot more games in the Uncharted world. Sully has a whole shitload of backstory to be expanded on.

It was really enjoyable for the same reasons that Fallout 4 was. You don't feel like when you're making choices that you're playing a video game, you feel like you're staring a moral dilemma in the face. It's a huge expansion with different characters, really stayed true to the idea that it was going to be a mini-version of the core game.
MLB The Show is yet another amazing release, except the servers have been absolutely terrible. It's a damn shame too, but at the same time (admittedly Im incredibly ignorant when it comes to this stuff) considering the game is made by SONY for a SONY system, how the freak does this happen?

i loved the first one.
it couldve had some more story thrown in, but "The Nemesis System" was something unlike anything i had experienced in gaming. They scratched the surface of some real mechanics and systems that could change gaming in general IMO.
its essentially a Tolkien spin off , so I guess if you were expecting a level of development and fleshing out that Tolkien would bring, then I guess you could be disappointed.
It was a really good open world action game with a interesting mechanic and a dash of Tolkien lore.The next game sounds like its getting the training wheels taken off and will be much more of an immersive experience.

I didn't mind the boss system, but the gameplay got really boring. It was an endless hack and slash with no variation or storyline. I like hack and slash games - I love the entire God Of War series - but there has to be some kind of story and development to keep the interest.
Apparently the new Mordor game will have a lot more story, so I'll probably give it a go.

the game had a story, it was just rushed because it was essentially just a 1st chapter to setup the Talion VS Sauron feud.
i viewed the rest of the game as a polished proof of concept for combat and the introduction of the Nemesis system. I feel it deserved the critical acclaim it recieved, I do agree it was just short of being a must play though, and the story immersion was why.
they laid the ground in that game and the new one looks very very promising.

I guess you didn't do anything apart from the main storyline? I can't understand how so many people have finished the game already.
I've put in 30+ game hours already, and I've only scratched the surface of it. I set up EOS, but left all the side stuff for later. Cleared Voeld (but then went back to a save before the Cardinal to not lose the interview side quest), and just went to Havarl. I've got tons of gameplay left. I'm definitely a ridiculous completionist, but I can't understand how someone can fly through that fast.

4. Uncharted: the lost legacy
Uncharted is going to be awesome, but the trailer didn't excite me much. God of War looks crisp, clean and different. But different doesn't necessarily mean better. I can't wait to play it though.Shadow of War just looks to be the original X 10 in size, and X 5 in terms of nemesis system development. Can't even wait to jump back in. And Spider-Man is just flat out new, unique fun and different from anything else I've played in a long time. I'm craving new and unique gaming experiences and Spidey looks as though it will meet that and then some.

God Of War and Uncharted are probably tied as my favourite franchises of all time, so I'm pumped about both of those and I think that the GoW trailer looks like they've moved the gameplay on to a new level.
I found Shadow Of Mordor got really dull and I ended up quitting on it, the gameplay was too samey and the Nemesis system annoyed me - one freak up and you took six steps backwards. No interest in the sequel unless they've actually introduced a story and some interesting progression.
Spiderman gameplay actually reminded me a lot of the Arkham Knight series, but as I loved that particular franchise I have no issue with it ripping it off.

[i]Spiderman[/i] gameplay actually reminded me a lot of the Arkham Knight series, but as I loved that particular franchise I have no issue with it ripping it off.
Love the franchise as well. Am absolutely interested in picking up Spidey after seeing the gameplay.
Was very impressed with the trailer for the new Mario.

I agree about god of war and Uncharted. Two of my absolut favorite game series ever.
I enjoyed the nemesis system in Mordor. But by god the story is Unfathomably bad. I also thought combat wasn't great, but I still enjoyed the nemesis system a ton. This iteration looks to have improved the system greatly, upped the ante in combat and size/scope of the world. Story is also supposed to be vastly improved, but you won't get that from trailers only through actually playing it.
I think Spidey might set sales records in holiday 2018 when it finally hits stores.

Immediately said looks like an even more fun. Arkham game. Batman is cool and all but Spiderman is a way better video game character to control.

I don't think it'll be record breaking but it looks like a lot of fun. I hope it kicks off a decent franchise.
Spiderman has always been a 'meh' hero to me. It would be cool to get a unique take on him.

this. the COD series went to excrement once they went away from the WW1/WW2 format, with the original Call of Duty 2 being the best FPS I'd ever played until Battlefield 1 this year, which I thought reminded me a lot of the old CoD2 that came out over 10 years ago, except on a larger Battlefield scale. The biggest games you could play on the old CoD2 were like 4v4 or 8v8 or something.
I only wish I had more time to play Battlefield, haven't been able to play it in a few months.

the original CoD2 was made by Infinity Ward, I remember them always being behind the best Call of Duty games. I heard about the WWII version of Call of Duty that's supposed to be dropping this year, but it's being made by Sledgehammer, which made Advanced Warfare....which, if my memory serves me correctly, is the Call of Duty that a lot of fans were pissed at. Will be interesting to see what Call of Duty does returning to WW2, but I wouldn't be surprised if they fucked it up. It's okay as there will be Battlefield 1 anyways
-
I don't remember if it was CoD 1 or 2 on PC that had an official 3rd party expansion pack, but that was favorite FPS ever. Among other things that streamlined the game, it eliminated bunny hopping, which was huge at the time. It also allowed user made maps with drivable tanks and other vehicles. So many hours of my life.

None of that matters really anymore. Infinity Ward is just a name. Anyone with a big hand in those early games has long since moved on. I'm pretty sure a lot of the important people moved on afternoon modern warfare or modern warfare 2.

these piece of excrement gaming franchises like madden and nba 2k don't even give you the option of demo-ing their excrement games for free before they expect you to buy their excrement product

From what I recall World at War was focused on the Asian Pacific theatre
But to answer your question COD is just going back to its roots after years of excrement games. Ghosts, Advanced Warfare, Infinite Warfare were all derriere. Gameplay and controls were terrible. Modern Warfare and Black Ops were good, but not good enough for 3 sequels of each.
For anyone that goes all the way back to COD 2, Carentan is being included in this game. One of the best FPS maps for any game ever.

There was also a Russia-Germany storyline that was about half the game, but you're right, there wasn't anything for the rest of Europe so there's more to explore there.

Cod better not freak this game up, especially if they're trying to swing carentan as one of their buying points
i still find that original COD2 game more enjoyable than any Cod game released in the past 10 years

I never played the original, is it solely an online game or can you play single player?
I think I have some sympathy with the complaints, but if they'd had no option to circumvent the achievement process by simply paying to unlock the character would the complaints have been as strong, or even existed at all?

I bought the original last year ago thinking that they did have single player, but no campaign mode just some missions that you're able to play that has AI instead of real players. Pretty much "offline mode". It sucked. Didn't get a chance to try it online though.
As far as the complaint I doubt there would be any if it was all based on credits earned during gameplay for in-game achievements. EA would also only make money on sales of the game itself and not the 10x it could make by having people use real money after the game is purchased. They should just make the game free if that's where they're headed. Sort of like these mobile games that make you wonder "who the hell is buying $1,000 worth of in-game credits?"

Except the issue is not that it's difficult to unlock another character, it's that some people can simply choose to circumvent the difficulty by handing over money. If you take that option away and people don't complain any more, then the issue was never with how difficult the game is. I see reviews all the time lauding games for their difficulty and the length of time it takes to achieve milestones.

Does buying the character rather than earning it through gameplay give you an advantage over others?
-
Does buying the character rather than earning it through gameplay give you an advantage over others?
I look at it as mirroring life in a way: the in-game currency is based on in-game achievements, or money and getting paid for work. You buy the game and have to compete with everyone rich or poor, young or old, and you earn credits based on how well you play. Simple. Real dollars brings an outside force into it, which means the game now favors those who have real money and if you don't want to pay money or don't have money then you're fresh out of luck... even though you bought the same game that everyone else is playing.
I knew where this was headed.
-

I don't know about this game specifically,but EA generallly does lean towards pay to win.
My favorite game, Rocket League, does the paid micro transactions the right way in my opinion. Nothing you can buy will make you any better at the game. They are just visual customizations. They are still taking in the money from people and I can still wreck someone who has dropped $500 on game items.

It’s great, WWII games really are the best. If you like BF1 you should like this. Brings you right back to the old games. The new objective based game mode, War, is the best thing to ever happen to this franchise. No random spawn kills or getting continually murked from behind- you know where the opponent is coming from and where they are headed. Nazi Zombies is excellent but I haven’t played it much so far.

I don't play video games and my kids don't need anything else to distract them. Is this thing too old to bother selling for a few bucks? Otherwise I'll give it to someone.

They're pretty damn cheap. Not worth much. You can spring for an R4 card and play any game for free. They were on sale for like $20 a pop, I bought my kids each one with an R4.

I don't know how similar it will be - the suggestion is that this is a fairly significant reboot of the franchise a la Tomb Raider, but assuming it builds on the originals it's a third person RPG that's very heavy on combat with an awesome array of ways to turn extremely large gribblies into small bits of bloody mess.

It's got the levelling up elements of an RPG, but I wouldn't claim to be an authority on gaming genres.
It's a lot less annoying than Dark Souls.

I played the first God of War for a while until I couldn't deal with the controls anymore. I expect the right thumbstick to allow me to control the camera angle, and it drove me nuts when it didn't.
I'd say GoW is an action/adventure game rather than an RPG, but the reality is practically every game contains elements of multiple genres.

God Of War has always been a hack and slash game with the character progression of an RPG via leveling up skills and expanding powers.
what separates this new one from the old series is that there is
A) Much more emphasis on story, setting, and character development
B) The Hack and slash days are gone, its more skill based, like a Dark Souls lite. Not as difficult though
C) Open World (albeit i dont expect it to be MASSIVE, its not the linear set piece to set piece formula)

I'm probably just as far into it. It's the first God of War I've played. I'm not a huge fan of games of its type or the ps4 in general, but it seems OK.
The combat doesn't seem very good and the puzzleness and spending way freaking too much time with easy riddles and looking for crap isn't something I enjoy
I have a feeling that the story will be the best part of the game, which could be redeeming

The combat will get a lot more fun as you get deeper into it and open up new moves and combos, one thing the series has always excelled at is providing creative and bloody ways to destroy enemies.

I'm definitely terrible at it also. I tried jacking up the difficult as i like a challenge and died at least 10 times with the very first encounter before turning it down to the default difficulty.
But right now I feel like it just encourages me to stay at max distance and throw axes all day. I hope it opens up as the action is something different

That fight with the stranger was a really, really irritating way to start the game. I assume you mean that rather than the troll?

So I was with you guys, didn’t love it at first. Mainly because I was bad at the combat system.
Then my dog ran by my TV, tripped over the power strip and unplugged my PS4 while I was saving. Hard reset, every file erased. I was about 5-7 hours in.
It’s way more enjoyable the 2nd time through. There’s a lot that I didn’t pick up or understand from the first run.
My 2 key pieces of advice:
1) don’t attack your enemies, let them come to you. Learn to block and counterattack.
2) use Atreus. I didn’t use him at all the 1st time. Spam his arrows. Upgrade his abilities. He’s very useful.

I meant the VERY first creatures that you encounter in the game (the really easy basic guys) but that was because I had the difficulty turned up like an derriere. The troll was actually easy, and the stranger was annoying but not awful

I'm really trying to like this game but I just don't. They've taken away all the sense of fun from the franchise, it's pretending to be an open world but it isn't, and the overly complicated and unnecessary RPG elements are incredibly irritating. It's just a huge disappointment.

I could be wrong, but their RPG elements seem incredibly simple and insignificant that they're not even worth it. Your options are extremely limited, and don't unlock until your weapons upgraded. It also seems designed in a way that you'll eventually unlock absolutely everything so your choices are which skills do you want first, not how do you want to build and develop your character.
I do see the limited open world nature of it, but I feel like this games more like tomb raider with the stupid puzzles and exploration more than an action platformer

i just dont get the complaints, but to each his own.
In my opinion they adopted a level of storytelling reminiscent of Last Of Us. They threw out the childish hack and slash combat and replaced it with something more skill based a la Dark Souls.
the only complaint i might have is the use of puzzles might get tedious if you hope to breeze through dungeons.
this game is an easy 9/10 for me so far, and if it werent for Red Dead Redemption 2 coming out this year, i would say its a strong candidate for game of the year.

I find the combat way simpler than dark souls. Just stay at max range chucking axes and having boy spam his bow. It's not bad, but if the game lasts a long time that could lose interest.
I'd also say I've seen as a big knock is there's no weapon variety. While dark souls had lots of options

im talking mechanics, not depth. the spamming axe throws doesnt work as you get deeper into the game, especially above normal difficulty. or in the valkyrie trials

either way i will take this combat over the previous God Of Wars combat

Yeah it’s clear that you didn’t learn the combat system at all. Like coach K said, good luck with that method. I could see why you wouldn’t find the game fun if that’s all you’re doing.

Posts like that make me not want to get back into gaming since I'm rusty as freak and I'd have to learn one thing and spam it to survive.

I did that for the first 10 minutes. There’s about 2 more buttons you have to learn after that. The combat is super simple. With dcm’s method it take roughly 10x longer to kill someone.

They've gone way overboard on the RPG elements for my taste. "Collect all 6 Runes of Arblethwang to add +1D to the Breastplate of Gòbersnatch!" freak off. I jist want to solve puzzles and fight massive gribblies.

I know you know this, but all that stuff is 1000% optional. You can literally run right past it to the puzzles and gribbles.

I think this is the only negative review that I've seen.
I loved the previous ones, but I went straight from Horizon to this and it doesn't stand up well in comparison.
-
the previous God Of Wars are watered down hack and slash compared to the new one.
Horizon had a bigger, more immersive world. I think God Of War's story exists on a much larger scale though,especially it being a sequel to a series with more history. If all the entries are found on Horizon though the lore theyve setup for that franchise can be seriously epic
Theyre both great experiences imo.
Anyways, I got Dragons Crown Pro . I had over 100 hours on the PS3 version but never needed to upload my data for crossplay, since when it came out like 4 or 5 years ago the only other platform was Vita.
Had to start a new file on my PS4 Pro. the grind is about to get real.
Dragons Crown is a great example of what an ambitious developer can do with a classic formula. 2d Arcade style beat em up with some RPG depth in the form of skill tees and loot collecting. A story that is ok, but amazing by Arcade standards. A great post game challenge too
4 player co op fun is rare these days and they do a damn good job of it with Dragons Crown

Apparently there's massive outroar about the official announcement even though most of the details were leaked.
It seems cool though.
Seems like Bethesda and Microsoft really killed it at E3 so far though, a lot of hype about their announcements

Everyone is salivating over E3 announced games, and I just started Witcher 2.
The only game out of the conference that I have any interest in is Spider-Man, and that's only because my youngest has been anxiously awaiting it for a long time now.
I know it's the way all games are going now, but anything that requires you to play online is an automatic non-starter for me.

I'm also reconciling myself to this reality. I'm just not going to have the time to immerse myself in an online Fallout experience given how deep the game is. And I loved 4. Constantly built up communities and then watched on high as the peons farmed my mutfruit.

As am I. I'm really pleased with how much harder it is to move the ball. Love the physics in the running game where there's more bounce instead of backs just crumbling like sacks of excrement when they run into a wall.

Looking forward to my connected franchise kicking off in a couple of week.

I will give you credit here because you typically will not ever reverse your opinion. Bravo, and you are the real winner here because that game is sick. My only criticism was that it felt a little short. I usually feel like most games are long, but it felt like they were just getting into the story here. Probably saved a lot of material for the sequel.

I mean competitive people are competitive at anything. And what do young guys (20s, 30s) want to compete with most ? Sports, money, hoo-ha, and video games. Aint the strangest thing.
Plus when that gay derriere fortnite excrement swept the country kept seeing news stories about teams banning it because players werent sleeping and excrement because of it.

Never played Fortnite so I don't understand the obsession. Then again, I hardly have time for any video games these days. I've had Breath of the Wild on the Switch since last July and have only had time enough to complete maybe 50% of the main quests in the game.

I have loved the entire God Of War franchise, but I couldn't honestly tell you that if you now play the earlier games you'll feel the same. The current one is so different that I think the older ones might struggle to stand up. It would be a bit like playing the Tomb Raider reboots first and then going back to the originals.

I mean the NES and SNES I absolutely understand. The NES was basically the first mainstream major successful console and the SNES was probably the best console of all time. So you get a huge nostalgia bump with both of those. I'd never buy any of that excrement, but if someone bought me a SNES classic as a gift I guess it would be cool.
The Playstation classic on the other hand sounds freaking stupid as hell. I mean for starters most of those games have been remastered and repackaged a million times, and you could buy most of them digitally on the ps3/4/vita. And the Playstation classics don't hold up graphically they look freaking horrendous. FF7 one of the greatest games of all time, but if you tried playing it today Holy freak it looks worse than dog excrement. Those broken blocky textures trying to emulate 3D are the worst thing ever, it's like someone took a excrement on minecraft and tried to render it using a calculator or something.
At least the NES/SNES were very basic 2d graphics, which is still extremely popular and in current games.

I would buy it solely for that dope startup sound. Nostalgia bomb

Would totally buy this to own the libs.

That's a bit of a silly argument. My son would play any of the Halo games over any on that list apart from Spider-Man.
And the conversation is about playing old games again. It has zero to do with modern games. Sony is selling a box to play them, and Microsoft says "the box you already paid us for is enough for us."

I refused to buy into the idea for the past couple of years, but e-sports is undeniably a monster industry and growing. People literally get paid to play video games competitively, and not small sums either.

It's not a silly argument at all. The entire point of the argument is "we're not interested in reverse engineering old games to work on new hardware, we're entirely focused on working with developers to get the very best out of the current hardware". They're giving people a cheap option if they want a retro binge but not compromising the development of groundbreaking new titles.
It's like Ford laughing at Ferrari because you can still buy a Mustang with a manual gearbox while Ferrari will only let you have the 488 with an F1-bred dual clutch paddle shift.

I don't think it'll even be that long.
I understand that people get paid to do it and people for some reason enjoy watching it. Not my thing, but different strokes for different folks. I guess I understand that it's related to sports, so maybe that's the tie-in to ESPN. No different than having the CEO of FanDuel on the cover if they did that. For some reason it annoys me to see some dude being glorified for playing a video game like he's taking big hits over the middle on Sunday or something. Then again, there are plenty of people out there that are famous for doing a whole lot less, so kudos to him I guess. Wish I got paid that much for playing a game.

XBox backward compatible games need to be updated to work with the emulator built into the Xbox One. The PS1 games that will be compatible with the "new" system will need to be re-engineered to work with that hardware.
The singular difference is that Sony is charging it's customers extra for a piece of hardware, where Microsoft built the option for their current gen console. How is MS compromising new titles by putting an extra piece of software (the emulator) on their system? Especially since the emulator wasn't even originally available on the XB1, so it had no bearing on the development of the hardware.
Your car simile isn't valid here.

Your point would be a good one if it wasn't wrong.
Look at how many games on the Playstation clasic are currently available on the ps3/ps4 eshop to buy right now. So that reverse engineering thing is bullshit. The reason, the real reason Sony is doing it. Is because Nintendo did it twice and their excrement sold so god damn fast they couldn't keep up with demand. That is why Sony wants in on the action. That's what this is all about. They're already selling these games on the eshop now they can jsut sell them to the same people who have purchased them in the past, on the ps3, psp, vita, and ps4 selling them the exact same game for the 4th or 5th time

The car analogy is exactly valid. Sony's move is a brilliant one; they're capitalising on the niche desire to own and play old games by repackaging the exact same platform they stopped selling nearly 20 years ago into a box with a solid state drive instead of a DVD player, and focusing all current platform efforts on pushing boundaries. The only reason MS packaged a retro emulator was to try and keep single ecosystem customers from migrating when they went to the next gen; Sony didn't need to do that. The sales numbers don't lie.

I don't think this is true either. Microsoft has gone a different direction, and went all in on subscription service plans. They have made a heavy focus on Xbox Gsmepass which is a monthly subscription allowing you to play current and many past Xbox games as long as you subscribe. I also don't think that people think retro and think Xbox. While at least the Playstation is somewhat retro

Of course it's true. The ability to play 360 games was a key part of their sales tactics for XBone because otherwise you're making an objective decision between next gen consoles, and they knew they were losing that hands down. By letting people maintain their hundreds or thousands of dollars in investment in older games, they were doing their best to retain their ecosystem.
As to playing legacy games through streaming services, I'm pretty sure that PS Now does that in much the same way as Microsoft does. This new gadget is basically a repackaged PS One, which was selling in the millions while the first XBox was just a drawing on Bill Gates' whiteboard.
I'm not sure what Microsoft is claiming to do that Sony don't, other than take your old DVD-based games and play them on your current system. Sony have better ideas of how to use those resources though - look at the standard of the exclusives on PS4 v XBone. There's no comparison.

Microsoft offers cross play much more freely than Sony, and it's not even close. Microsoft and pc, even the freaking Nintendo switch (on some games) has cross play. While Sony is extremely reclusive and has gotten criticized for its stance on crossplay.
Yes Microsoft has a very unfair advantage on the PC front, but they offer more multi system interactivity than any of the consoles

Sure, but in the end does it really matter? XBone and Switch have sold about 60M units in total; PS4 alone accounts for over 80M. If I want to call other people cunts over Call Of Duty I've still got access to a bigger market with PS4 on its own. In the end, why do I care whether I can play against XBone or PC players as well? It's a relatively small sacrifice compared to having access to the vastly superior games lineup on the PS4 - not to mention that the hardcore gamers who actually care about these things will in many cases have multiple options anyway.

You left out how many pc gamers there were, which is xbones biggest ally in cross platform. I heard there's quite a few people who have them. And the most hardcore of the hardcore know that PC is the master race and nothing comes close. Hell even android and mobile gaming are picking up incredible amounts of volume, but Sony is in their own bubble. Yes Sonys beating Xbox and switch, and has better exclusives. Absolutely nobody questions it but Sony is missing a lot of future opportunities with its bubble too

Finished God Of War, it was very good and the next chapter is set up beautifully. Not sure if I can be bothered being completist about it though, it seems like a lot of work and unlike Horizon or Mad Max I haven't reached the end of the game wishing there was more to discover.
Trying to decide whether Spiderman or Shadow Of The Tomb Raider is next. Spiderman is the current favourite because it's a different vibe, Tomb Raider might be a bit too similar in feel to God Of War.
-
Bought Spiderman. Abandoned it after 20 minutes. You can't learn new combat and movement systems when you're six beers down. This will be a tomorrow thing.
-
New COD is pretty cool. They ripped off the PUGB/Fortnite battle royale mode. Default is 4 man squads with 100 people on the map, FPS.

Just hit 100% on SpiderMan. I liked it more than GOW. Definitely the game of the year so far imho.

Really? I'm about to quit on Spiderman, can't get on with it at all. Thought I'd really enjoy it because of its similarities to Arkham, which I loved, but all I can think of is how I'd rather be playing Arkham instead. I don't like the movement mechanics of swinging, I don't like the combat system at all and it's too grindy.
Will probably trade it in next week for Shadow Of The Tomb Raider.

Just got it last weekend, enjoy traversal a lot, but combat isn’t very clean and it’s irritating. I already was feeling grindy with the location hunting already and I’m about 20% of the way through the story.

Interesting. I love the travel mechanics, had no issue with the fighting once I got it down and was able to use his web swings and such. It is grindy, but I enjoyed traveling so much that I didn't care, but I'm also the same person that actually enjoys hunting down Riddler trophies.
RDR2 has started a little slow, but picked up. I'm really enjoying it thus far.

Red Dead kicks derriere

A friend of mine (a former games reviewer for national magazines, back when people bought them) had the following comment on Facebook about RDR2:
I'm sure I'll like it, but a few hours in, I'm in the middle of classic Rockstar frustrations that they just refuse to solve. Getting to a mission, any mission, is 5-10 minutes of riding a horse. You can automatically canter the route, but you have to hold X like a dummy throughout or you just stop. Everything is freaking miles away. I got on a train to finish a mission, and I'm in a city that's miles away from my horse who I can't call because it's too far away. If I steal a horse I get killed by the fuzz and the bounty is more money than I can afford, and after I've paid the bounty the stagecoach back to where I came from is more money than I can afford. And I can't run anywhere because I get too tired because my stamina is low and health and stamina now have to be carefully curated through food and drink. To be honest, it's *really* tedious. But you don't hear that in all the mandatory glowing reviews people post because they are afraid of Rockstar. FFS guys, it's not difficult. Once you open up a map area, make it so you can fast travel there and back. It's a video game, it should be fun. That sort of design stops it being tedious, and helps to make it fun. But then with the massive install, maybe flitting between areas is too problematic. Going everywhere sssllloooowwwlllyyy gives the game time to load? Who knows.
I'll be waiting until it's on sale. Really cheaply.
-
It’s one of the best games ever made. freak Rockstar for making a realistic Wild West game.
No cars? WTF!
FTR, there is fast travel. That baby back bitch just hasn’t played enough of the game to get there yet.
It took me maybe 5 minutes to travel from camp to the northeast corner of the map to hunt the legendary grizzly. He is greatly exaggerating how slow it is.

Don’t think I mentioned it in here but got a Switch for me an the pizza on Black Friday. Mario Kart and Mario Party are cool. Super Smash Bros is great.

Yes, yes, yes, and hell yes.
Smash is addictive and fun for pretty much every age. My kid even enjoys playing it with me.
Zelda, while my favorite game of all time, is absolutely brutal to play with limited time. It's such a massive game and every time I get the urge to play, I ultimately decide it's not worth it since I forgot where I left off and the time I'd put in wouldn't even put a dent in the game. I've had the game since Summer 2017, and I'm maybe half way through it.

Gotta agree with Klax on all accounts. All fun games, Smash and Kart being so much fun online.
Zelda is still the best game on the system and IMHO the best game of 2017, but I love the system itself. Something great about being able to lay in bed or drop a deuce while playing Skyrim or L.A. Noire.

man ive been wanting to get a switch for awhile, might get one for the kids birthday in june.
i want to play zelda so bad, but i know it'll end up like klax. i have barely any free time and i never get invested in long games anymore. i havent even bought red dead 2 =/

What’s the deal with Zelda: Links Awakening? Never played the original.
Breath of the Wild is one of the best games I’ve ever played. This game looks a lot different and I don’t think the gameplay is the same open world style. Worth $60 for Switch?
-
Speaking of Zelda I've been picking up old GameCube games to show my kids. We're currently working through Wind Waker and I just ordered Twilight Princess.
-
I finally got round to restarting and this time finishing Shadow Of The Tomb Raider. Excellent addition to the series.
Will probably have another go at getting into Spiderman next, if that doesn't work I'll go buy the RE2 remake.

Never played it either but this is a Gameboy game they remade identically, just with a modern engine and graphics (it's not a remaster but a 1:1 remake)
It looks like a lot of fun but it's going to have old derriere mechanics. And supposedly it's super short, like 10 hours.
This has nothing in common with botw

Going to be freaking awesome. I’m pretty sure virtually every Naughty Dog game I have loved. Heck their characters/series has virtually all of my favorites, Last of Us, Uncharted, Jak and Daxter....
They are truly a phenomenal studio. Until they produce a game that doesn’t immediately become one of my favorites, every single one of their games is a “must buy” for me

With the basement almost finished, I'm going to mod the classic minis I picked up (NES, Genesis, SuperNES). I don't need them to play 800 games, but they're missing some stuff I'd like to be able to pull up. As much as I like the genesis mini so far, how do you not have BattleToads/Double Dragon and the like.
Also, just picked up and built two Arcade1Up machines. Honestly for the price...these are pretty frickin sweet. Got SF2 and Mortal Kombat (Costco bundle for the MK machine included a light up marquee, custom riser and stool). Waiting to see if they announce any new releases at ComicCon, and if one of those will happen to be a WWE cabinet, otherwise I'm going to pick up the TNMT cabinet they just came out with, re-design the outside to look like the old WWF Superstars cabinet and mod it with a retropie to play the old classics like Simpsons, Sunset Riders X-Men, NBA Jam, and of course Superstars/Wrestlefest.
Are they the authentic machines? Of course not given the price point, but they seem to be built well, and they look cool as excrement. Plus the 9 year old in me is going insane that I'm going to have essentially a mini-arcade in the basement.

I just spent some time playing through the RE2 remake which was actually really good, right up to the point where I got to the final boss fight with Tyrant and couldn't beat him because I'm crap at games, so I rage quit and haven't quite calmed down about it enough to go back and have another go.

I bought the custom Macho Man/Ultimate Warrior truck because it looks great and that game is addicting as excrement. Definitely a game you want to play with other friends though as opposed to randos in a lobby.

Nothing. I'm still 50% of the way through Zelda, Breath of the Wild.
I had to drop my Madden league since I just don't have the time.
Yet I'm still getting COD-MW this Friday. I'll probably play it sporadically for a few weeks and not get my $60 worth at all.
I have been playing a little bit of Mario Kart on the switch. My son has been talking mad excrement about my MK driving skills, so I had to put him in his place.

It's fun and charming. But extremely basic, short, with extra condoluted puzzles. It's the kind of game that will last 10-15 hours max and it loses steam towards the end.

Really enjoying Outer Worlds so far. Can't wait to get home and fire it up.
The new COD looks great, it'll likely be a black friday purchase though since they slash the price in half every year and I'm still stuck in 1999 where I like to actually go to a store and buy a hard copy.

Obsidian is great RPG company. I'm pretty sure the guys at Interplay worked with the guys at Obsidian at Black Isle back in the day (Bioware guys worked at Black Isle too).
I haven't played Outer Worlds yet, but my kids are playing it and love it.
I'm actually excited to get my hands on the console conversions of some of the best CRPGs of all time: Planescape: Torment, Baldur's Gate, and Neverwinter Nights. Now I just need time to play them all.

if you wait for the tv to come out and then be affordable it’s going to be quite awhile.
To me the emphasis on backwards compatibility makes this generation even more appealing. I can trade in my PS4 while it’s still worth something and still be able to play all of my games. Hell I still have my PS3 because I still used it for years after getting a PS4 because I just didn’t have that many PS4 games to play. This generation that problem will be solved

I was thinking about doing the same thing, but depending on how much they're offering in trade in value (I compare Gamestop to the shopkeeper in The Force Awakens that offers Rey "one half portion" for all of her goods), i might just keep it as a blu ray player/stream provider to put in the guest room or hook up to the second tv in the basement.
Very excited for PS5. Apparently the rumors are flying that GTA6 will be a launch title and that Spider-Man 2 will be released sometime in 2021.

I’ve heard that as well about GtA. Also Gorilla Games is working on a new title (probably Horizon 2) that I heard could be a launch title. Then you have your next gen sports games, and God of War 2 is set to be in the works possibly as an early 2021 game.
It’s going to be awesome. But you are right GameStop doesn’t offer excrement for trades, and considering mine is an original PS4 not a slim or a pro, I imagine it won’t be worth much. But I’m hoping they offer incentives to trade for upgraded next gen hardware. Although I probably won’t buy a PS5 from GameStop I’d rather go amazon, should be the safer route. And way less hectic then picking it up on launch day.
-
I've no interest in GTA or Spiderman, but Horizon 2 would 100% be the catalyst for me buying a new console. Still my favourite game ever.
-
if you wait for the tv to come out and then be affordable it’s going to be quite awhile.
To me the emphasis on backwards compatibility makes this generation even more appealing. I can trade in my PS4 while it’s still worth something and still be able to play all of my games. Hell I still have my PS3 because I still used it for years after getting a PS4 because I just didn’t have that many PS4 games to play. This generation that problem will be solved
The emphasis on remote streaming providers (ie stadia) and everyone making their games playable on pc (Xbox and Playstation) makes me think it hesitates caution to be an early adopter of next Gen consoles

If you aren’t interested in the games, or can play them on a great PC that makes sense. For the rest of us who don’t game on PC who want those games, it’s upgrading time

Could always play them on a ps4.
I don't forsee there being any Playstation 5 exclusives for the first year.
And unless you have a 4k 120+ hz HDR TV 60+ inches with a Dolby Atmos surround system, I don't think there will be much of a difference.
Hell look at the ps4 pro and Xbox one X side by side with the originals. You're not noticing much of a difference especially if you don't have high end entertainment systems
That said I guess it depends on how good of a trade in deal you can get on the old one and how much the new one is.
If you're talking a 400+ dollar swing, I think waiting is prudent

Spent most of yesterday trying to get into Death Stranding. It looks beautiful and there are some interesting concepts, but the gameplay is really frustrating and in the end I couldn't be bothered continuing in the hope that I might get into it at some point. I don't know who considers walking around and carrying stuff to be the heart of an enjoyable gaming experience, or that having to stop and rock a baby back to sleep every time you stumble to be an enhancement to that experience, but it's not me.

Seems like this has been most reviews about it. Everything I've read suggests the game is a glorified walking simulator. It sounds absolutely freaking terrible by all accounts. I genuinely wonder what kind of gamer would actually enjoy that garbage, I have no idea how it was one of if not the most hyped game of the year

BOOM SHAKALAKA! IS IT THE SHOES?!?!
I was getting this bad boy before they announced online capability, but the fact that they're going to be having servers available for people to play online is insane. They did say at CES that they had all the licensing down with the exception of 3 players who I have to assume are Jordan, Shaq and Barkley which kind of sucks, but the console version that I grew up on didn't have MJ or Shaquille anyway. During the demo though they did have Barkley on the Suns and Shaq on the Magic, so who knows.
FWIW, I have four Arcade 1up products (their street fighter, mortal kombat, teenage mutant ninja turtles and final fight cabinets). The only issues I had so far was the street fighter 2 cabinet didn't come with a protective overlay to prevent the paint from fading from use which cost about 12 bucks on their website so no biggie, and the final fight cabinet had an issue with two of the buttons which took me who's about as technologically illiterate as they come about all of 20 minutes to fix.
The way some people have modded these things is insane. If I had any faith in my ability to do it and not mess up I'd build myself a custom WWE cabinet for wrestlefest/superstars/wrestlemania.

Battlefield 1 was elite but I liked COD WW2 better.
They’re different games. Battlefield is better for bigger maps, more players, and better squad/team coordination. COD is faster paced, more action, and variety of objective based game modes. Battlefield is more realistic and COD is pretty arcadey.
-

They're 3/4th scale, but I hear you, they aren't small.
When I bought the house it was with the understanding that my wife could decorate any way she wanted. She wanted to make upgrades to the kitchen? No problem. She wants to turn one of the smaller bed rooms into her walk-in closet/makeup room, or wanted to pick our furniture? Have at it because I genuinely feel like I married way over my head. I mean, you guys met me, I'm not Brad Pitt.
Even in the basement, we left a piece unfinished for her to use as a storage closet for all of her halloween/thanksgiving/christmas decorations and other stuff. But the rest of its mine to do what I want. Two-tv system, memorabilia on the wall and arcades.

I'm the same - the basement is my den, complete with framed jerseys and a excrement ton of memorabilia on shelves, it's where I work and watch sports and play videogames. I think she'd still draw the line at actual cabinets though.

Oh yeah, I'm all about that. Love the Arkham trilogy. Had an extensive argument in the pub a couple of weeks ago with a friend about how the fact that he couldn't figure out how to do the tank battles didn't make them any bit less awesome.

Just remember, WB Montreal is the group that did Arkham Origins, not the core-3 Arkham games (Asylum, City, and Knight).
That said, just let me play the Caped Crusader again and punch bad guys and zipline all over Gotham, and I'm happy.

Origins is clearly the weak link of the franchise-but I still enjoyed it.
I picked up Stardew Valley for switch as an impulse buy because it was on sale for 10 bucks.
I love it. I cannot believe how much fun I'm having trying to build up the farm, mine and get along with the townsfolk.

Thought this was interesting
It is, although it is slightly skewed. Each company is entrenching in its respective strengths; Microsoft was never a hardware company and Xbox is about its only hardware venture that has ever had any significant degree of success, while Sony has always existed to sell boxes. In many ways though this story is a sign of Sony's ultimate victory, and I'll explain why.
Cloud in and of itself isn't sexy or interesting. It's just a bunch of resilient, location-independent compute, but Microsoft has hitched its corporate wagon to selling cloud as a measure of its success so it's only logical that it should take its gaming environment there. Gaming is about more than just compute though, it requires ecosystem for success and the compute engine is a very small part of that - as far as development and user community are concerned Sony is dominant. I found this quote interesting:
The sign was on the wall when Sony and Microsoft announced a partnership last May allowing Sony to use Microsoft’s Azure cloud service for game streaming. The sign read “Game over.”
I'm not sure if the author is writing this because he doesn't actually understand the cloud world or because he's got an agenda to push - I suspect a bit of both. The suggestion that Sony using Azure for their infrastructure is a capitulation on their part is a completely arse about face way of seeing things - Microsoft need Sony's gaming business on there because as Spencer says they're competing with Amazon and Google, and giving that volume of business to AWS or GCP would be disastrous. The reason that Microsoft wooed Sony for that business is exactly because they know that Sony's gaming environment is the biggest and best - this way they win on both ends, or at least don't lose.

Not marginalising Microsoft, I'm a big fan - I work in their ecosystem and have a lot of good things to say about what they're doing and how they're doing it, I think they have their excrement together more than they have for years. I just don't agree with the premise that they won the war with Sony - the two organisations have different agendas and corporate aims, and they're much more complementary than the author is choosing to recognise.

Considering Sony's best yearly exclusive by far (MLB the Show) is going multiplatform in 2021, going with PS5 isn't the no-brainer for me it used to be.
I loved my 360, I just got tired of not having a baseball game to enjoy considering how miserable the 2k series was. I'll still probably go with PS5 because of the exclusivity of the SpiderMan and God of War franchise, but I do miss Gears.

While Naughty Dog, Guerrilla and Rocksteady are exclusively working on Sony platforms there's no possibility of me defecting. Sony will have the next Horizon: Zero Dawn, the next Arkham (even if it's not an Arkham game), the next Last Of Us and the next God Of War games as exclusives; that's basically a greatest hits list for me.

It's probably not going to be an Arkham game, but Rocksteady have been working on their next project for the last 3 or 4 years and no one knows what it is; it's heavily rumoured to be one of the PS5 launch titles. I would presume that means it's going to be an exclusive.

Right, my bad. WB Montreal (I knew it was 2 letters).
Yeah, Origins was definitely the least likable of the series, but I'll take any opportunity to play the Caped Crusader, and all the supposed leaks point to a really good game from a studio that learned its lesson from the last time.
2 big things for me: the enemy is supposedly the Court of Owls, which leads me to believe there will be a lot of detective work to do, and you'll supposedly be able to play multiple members of the Bat-family.

Horizon Zero dawn is an amazing game, but none of those titles are enough to tie me to a console. That being said, I have no reason to switch.
I did switch to Xbox 360 because I liked Halo so much back in the day. It really was the premier console FPS by far back then. 360 also had a huge advantage over Sony with Xbox live at the time. I liked my 360 but when the next gens came out ps4 was more appealing than Xbox one to me just based on future titles available.

I was lucky enough to piggyback off what my parents got my brother as a kid, so I had the original NES and GENESIS even if they were his. The first console that was truly mine (that we similarly shared anyway) was N64.
Post N64, I went Gamecube for two years until I got sick of not being able to play some of the PS games that my friends were talking about like Max Payne and GTA III, so I got a ps2 (bought it from blockbuster of all places). Madden was a million times better on the PS2 obviously as well.
Made the switch to 360, and then switched back to PS4. I'm enough of an overgrown infant that I haven't skipped a Nintendo console with the exception of WII U, and I LOVE my switch. Perfect console if I'm exhausted from work and just feel like going home and laying down next to the wife to just throw some headphones on and play.

Gamestop is listing the NBA Jam Arcade 1 Up cab with stool, riser and light-up panel and marquee for $500. Not available for pre-order yet for some reason, has 6/30 as the release date.
A little pricy considering I paid $125 for the final fight/1942/ghosts and goblins/stryder cabinet (though that was without any of the bells and whistles and was a black friday deal), but unless they move the PS5 up and I can't justify making two big purchases in such a short period of time, I'll be adding it to the basement.

Finally finished the main story mission on Witcher 3. The only thing preventing me from crowning it the greatest game ever is that it's quite glitchy. It's definitely top 5 though and I will be putting in a lot more hours to play the DLC and complete all the undiscovered areas, although I'm not doing any of the Gwent missions.

I'm probably halfway through Velen and I'm fairly enjoying it, but it's very far from my favorite game ever--even ignoring the rampant glitchiness. Gwent is better in its standalone product, but even then it's not a particularly great card game.
One thing that really pissed me off is that the game ruined the biggest spoiler of the written story as soon as you meet with the Emporer. While I was playing, my wife was sitting there reading, heard Tyron Lannister's voice, so paid attention, then BAM!
Given that the game has seen something like a 5-fold uptick in Steam playing since the series hit Netflix, I imagine there are many people who had the "Wait. WHAT?!" reaction about 6 years early now.

I have Days Gone waiting as well as The Last Guardian, but I want to finish the DLC and side missions for Witcher 3 first.

If backwards compatibility is a real thing, that probably makes ps5 a launch purchase for me. Usually I’m content to play the last gen system for a year or until the price drops

Food for thought
But I think both the ps5 and xbox x x x whatever the freak are gonna be extremely difficult to get. And there's a very good chance both have unusually bloated price tags. Purely speculative but I'd think coronavirus will be responsible for adding at least 100$ to the price tag of each as well as significantly reducing supplies for both this year
And thats assuming both aren't delayed into 2021
There's a fairly decent chance I'll wait to adopt either of these.

I don't think so at all
Everything about this game screams its something special. The graphics are crazy, and I'm fairly impressed with the battle system being modernized

And what are your thoughts about VII originally?
-
And what are your thoughts about VII originally?
I'm a little biased as I thought it was one of the greatest rpgs of all time (albeit I always found ff9 better)
But everything about the remake is just freaking crazy
The graphics are incredible (I typically don't give a excrement about graphics. And I prefer playing on my Xbox one X over my old ps4). And the combat is really refreshing (although I'd probably prefer classic turn based tbh). My biggest complaint and knock will probably be that it's going to end up being way too short and freaking episodic over like 5 years or some excrement.
But this is one of the rare (modern) rpgs that I'm going to beat start to finish multiple times. Which is something I probably haven't done since ps1 or ps2
-

Not that this is directed at me.... but I’ve played all the Post 7 games and my order is as follows
X, IX, VII, VIII, XV, XII, XIII, XIII-2, X-2
Excited for VII remake. Although I have heard it’s more of a re-imagining than a reboot or a recreation of the original. I wish it wasn’t being released in parts, but hopefully the next parts will come quickly given the number of assets they have made already for part 1

I've never played a single minute of a Final Fantasy game but the gameplay I've seen of this one definitely has my attention. I'm assuming that I don't need to have played the previous six to have a clue what's going on.

None of the games are connected. There's Easter Eggs and reoccurring creatures/spells/concepts so you won't have the sentimentality of a long time series fan.
But I think they've done enoguh to make this an rpg that people who don't play (real) rpgs can enjoy
-
On a side note a lot of the characters voices sounded familiar to me.
Turns out most of the voice acting in the ff7 remake are actually relatively well known TV actors/actresses. Not star studded by any means but people from breaking bad fear the walking dead etc
-
Did anyone play Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order?
-
While I haven't played the ff7 remake long enoguh for this to be anything more than (mostly) speculation.
My two biggest concerns for the game is that it's going to to be extremely linear, like borderline having stages/missions. And the other is that the entire game is going to take place from one single hub.
While the game still seems awesome, I'm thinking it'll end up being more of an 8/8.5 than a 9.5/10 kind of game.
But me jumping the gun on outlandish extreme opinions is nothing new

The best games on PS4 are Uncharted 4, Horizon Zero Dawn and God of War.
Glad you are picking up a phenomenal game. The story/world of that one is so fleshed out. I can’t wait for the next one on PS5. Hopefully it’s a launch title.

Uncharted 4 is good but it isn't even the best Uncharted game.
HZD, GoW, Witcher 3 and the Tomb Raider reboots are the best IMO.

They stated years ago this is just 1 of 3 or 4 installments lol . That game ends when the Party prepares to leave Midgard
I'm loving it combat and weapon system are great throw in the redone dialog and voice acting its how you do a remake for a classic
Now it just makes me want FF6 or Xenogears remade

Oh I know the entire game would take place on Midgard and it's one of many
But I expected the game to take place on the continent of Midgard not just the city.
Regardless if an entire rpg takes place from one single hub that's just lazy design. And judging by what square Enix has done with textures for the game, I'm thinking that they ended up going over budget with this one and decided to just hurry the freak up to get this game out.
It's a wonderful game in many ways. But extreme linearity and (my presumption) the whole game taking place from one single hub is pretty freaking shitty.
I'm still going to enjoy it immensely but these are major flaws. Not to mention it's absolutely freaking idiotic that they included classic combat mode for the game, but only made it available for easy mode. Hopefully it gets patched because the game is insanely easy even on normal

The linearity is a problem, but the whole Midgar chapter was pretty linear in the original anyway.
I like the action oriented combat but it's too easy thus far. Little more than button mashing.
My biggest problem is the same problem I have with all the modern FF games: freaking awful anime dialogue and characters. I just met Roche and if it wasn't for the nostalgia factor I'd probably be moving on.

Hard mode can be kind of challenging, but mostly because you can't use any items and benches don't restore MP.
And the latter part of the game becomes extreme with the cut scenes and animations. The last two chapters felt like a short movie honestly
-

Yeah, I'm done with this. Walk ten steps, 60 second cutscene. Repeat ad nauseam.
Nothing wrong with making a playable movie, but it has to be a decent movie. I don't need 60 seconds of video with everyone's reactions to finding a lever. Combine that with the deliberate forced walking segments and it's clear these schmucks were just looking to pad this excrement in any way possible.
I'm sure if you're the type of person who sleeps with one of those full body anime girl pillows then there are plenty of redeeming qualities to this game. But if you're normal then it's just kind of gross and off-putting. I just finished a game recently where two fully naked people freak on a stuffed unicorn and somehow that seemed less pornographic than most of the cutscenes in this POS.

I mean the first two hours were brilliant had all the signs of a masterpiece
And by the end it was like eh this games jsut pretty good
Oddly enoguh the game has gotten piled on with an incredible amount of praise. I mean I thought it was going to be an all time masterpiece after the first 4 hours. But it definitely became a slog later on. The fact that it's one of the most gorgeous games helps with that a little, but jsut a little.

Presumably that is the view of the kind of sad repressed gamertwats who hate Brianna Wu because they know she won't freak them despite their all encompassing knowledge of the lore of Deep Space Nine, and who despise the fact that a studio would put out a game that makes them play as a girl who doesn't have tight shorts and pneumatic funbags.

I caved and read the spoilers that are the source of the controversy. Granted I liked Last of Us but wasn't as crazy about it as some others so this wasn't something I was going to buy immediately anyway considering I haven't even touched Jedi: Fallen Order yet. I'll leave it to the hardcore fans of the franchise to determine whether or not it works.

I just finished remake last night...
The ending left me with so many questions, and I truly had no clue what the heck was happening. Reading some things for context helped. It seems most of this was done to allow them opportunities to deviate from the original path of 7 at least somewhat and see how that changes the narrative.
I do agree the last few hours were more of a slog and less fun than most of the game. Still an enjoyable experience overall and I look forwards to replaying the original in the coming weeks and seeing just how much deviation there was during the Midgar section. I again am hit with my hatred of the fact this is being released in segments (we still don't know how many) since the story is clearly unfinished (as it obviously should be). It sucks that it will be such a long time before we can see what happens next.
-

If you think about the timeline, when TLOU starts he has a young daughter, maybe 9 or 10 years old. That makes him around 30. Then we jump forward 20 years to when he first meets Ellie, that makes him 50ish. I don't know what the time gap between the end of TLOU and the beginning of TLOU2 is but Ellie now has a tattoo covering her arm where she had the bite, so it has to be a few years - let's say it's 5, that makes Joel closing in on 60 now. And it's not like he's lived an easy life.

I built a new gaming PC when lockdown started and my mobo came with a couple of free months of Xbox Game Pass. It's really good, I find myself less convinced that I'll bother with another console. The only thing that might drive me to a PS5 is if the exclusives, but even my favourite game ever (Horizon: Zero Dawn) is being ported to PC, so I don't know if I'll be able to justify dumping $500+ on a next gen console.

My son's been playing Last of Us 2 since release day. That game is crazy.
I've been playing Jedi Fallen Order for a few weeks now. The gameplay is really good. So far, the story is average. I like Cameron Monaghan as the protagonist. Overall, I'm really enjoying it. Except trying to follow the map. The map is garbage.
The map is the reason I stopped playing it. What the freak.
I finally started South Park: Fractured But Whole. Perfect for what I needed right now.
OK, I’m only budgeted for one game for the rest of the month and I really want a fighter. Dragon Ball FighterZ or Mortal Kombat 11?
I really enjoy MK11, but the add-ons are obnoxious.
-
I actually didn't understand it. I thought it could've been done much different or much later in the story.
That I completely agree with. It was, but wasn’t particularly impactful at the point it occurred. In fact the anger induced doesn’t hold up over the length of the story IMO, as it would have later on.
But I just meant I understood the need for this twist to happen at some point. I love NDs storytelling and in this instance I don’t think I’m fully on board with their decisions with this game. But damn it’s still compelling.

The South Park RPGs are great. I was pissed when I was working at Bethesda and they decided not to buy Obsidian who then immediately picked up Stick of Truth. Mother fuckers.

Animated movies and shows that are filled with swearing, graphic violence and adult themes are clearly not for children. I'm sure that they exist, but overwhelmingly animated movies and shows are not made in that way because they are made with the intention of appealing to children and families.
All games are animated, but a very significant many are not made for children. This one is a good example.

I've been playing Fallen Order for two weeks and if it wasn't a Star Wars game I would have quit much earlier.
There have been so many times that I've ran into an open area only to have an enemy load in behind me halfway through it's attack animation. My character's geometry also appears to become detached from the animation, I've fallen to my death on wall runs because he refuses to jump when I hit it. I'm surprised it was so highly reviewed. Maybe it's just the PS4 edition that's experiencing these things.
The save system is an issue for me, too. If I decide I don't want to continue after a cut scene that occurs after taking off from a planet to hit the next part of the story line, I shouldn't have to start over at the last meditation circle on the previous planet.

I've decided to get a Switch for the family this Xmas. Trying to pick up things here and there between now and then.
Right now the plan is to start with Breath of the Wild, Super Smash Bros Ultimate, and Mario Kart. Also getting 2 pro controllers. Open to thoughts and suggestions on controllers, leaning towards getting the name brand but I'd be open to a cheaper 3rd party controller if it's recommended.

We got a bundle that came with two pro controllers. Not sure about any others.
Your kids would probably like Link's Awakening a lot more than Breath of the Wind. BOTW is pretty difficult. Smash Bros and Mario Kart will be awesome for everyone.

I started playing it again. Well worth it.
Apparently BOTW 2 got delayed a bit because the map they’re building is fecking Yuge.

I don’t have any pro controllers. I think they’re well worth it though. Using the regular controllers for Mario cart cramps the excrement out of your hand. Should be fine for kids tho. The controller isn’t that bad when you have to use both of them and they lock into the fixture they provide with the system to mimic a regular style controller.
All the games you mentioned are elite. I would also consider Mario Party and Mario Tennis if you see a deal.

I wound up trading that excrement in for the reasons you described. The map/direction gauge or lackthereof pissed me off as well.

Nice! Definitely get at least 1 pro controller, I went with the name brand as well. If distance/wireless isn't an issue you can get an officially licensed wired pro controller for a little cheaper-those only plug in one at a time.
I started playing it again. Well worth it.

They just dropped Super Mario All-Stars on the SNES app on switch. They may as well have made their mini-SNES they came out with two years ago to be useless.

Yes. I wouldn't mind an updated StarFox or PunchOut either.
Has anyone played the Donkey Kong game?
Tropical Freeze?
I picked it up for my wife since she rather enjoys her switch lite, and she loved it so when she was done I gave it a shot. It's a very fun, surprisingly challenging platformer.
I've passed on getting Madden this year for the first time in about 20 years (the stagnancy of the franchise mode and this being a console changeover year which is historically their worst outings made me say freak this), so I've been playing the excrement out of PGA 2K21. Love it. So much fun. That and Fall Guys will get me to next friday when I pick up Super Mario 3d all-stars and give Super Mario Sunshine a turn for the first time.

No more Batman, that's almost certain. WB Montreal announced Gotham Knights, which is the Bat-family (Nightwing, Robin, Red Hood, and Batgirl) postmortem Bruce Wayne. And Rocksteady's new "Arkham" game is actually Suicide Squad. Both look awesome, but neither is Batman himself if that's what you're looking for.
I saw rumors that CDPR is considering another Witcher, but nothing definitive (though given the success of the Netflix show, and how it boosted Wild Hunt sales, it would be surprising if they didn't). There's an augmented reality game coming soon.

I'm expecting them to bundle games like HFW and Miles Morales into the PS4/PS5 packages like they dis for Madden 2021.
I know I won't be getting a PS5 at launch and I probably won't get it unti Feb at the earliest so I don't know if I want to wait to play HFW or Miles Morales until it's on PS5.
-
Of course it is because not everyone will be able to afford the PS5 at launch. It would be foolish to only release it on PS5.
I'm not arguing with that.
I'm suggesting that neither console has any exclusive games that should make people want to go buy their new consoles.
Obviously there's other reasons to want the new consoles, and I have no doubt they'll sell out for months regardless.
But it's impossible for anyone to say the next gen launch lineup for both Xbox and Sony is anything more than hot excrement.
The only good reason someone should be rushing out to buy either console is if they have a new expensive as freak TV
If you don't have a 65+ inch TV that supports 4k hdr at 60FPS, I'm not sure what the next gen will offer you in the immediate near future.
Once their big exclusives come out (ff16, horizon dawn, halo etc) it's a different story.
But for now, they ain't offering a ton

I think they're going to have to be more aggressive in terms of revamping the offline modes they've neglected for the last decade.
They got a lot of bad press for this years edition due to the stagnancy. Whether that reflects itself in change is something I suppose only time will tell.

The appealing thing for me, but I don't know that the new console matters, is the ever-expanding Game Pass offerings that will soon include EA All Access, and xCloud to play on your phone.
But the new console doesn't have anything to make you run out and buy it AFAIK

Yeah the Xbox launch is confusing as freak
I'll probably preorder one when they go live on Tuesday just to keep my options open, expecting them to announce something/anything to make its console a must purchase
But it looks like it offers even less than Sony, which is next to freaking nothing.
Gamepass is THE reason to play Xbox, so unless the series x is going to get gamepass exlsuives (or if they were wise make games come to the new generation a few months before pc/xbox one) I just don't know why anyone should rush to get a launch title
-
I’m fairly certain Xbox wants you to upgrade, but they want you to buy the game pass service more. They don’t seem to much care what system you are playing on.
Don’t wants you to buy their boxes, and preferably the digital ones so they can make all the money off of software sales margins.
I was really surprised to hear HFW is going to function on PS4. That felt like the first big system seller for PS5. Given that I’m not sure there is a big reason to upgrade before spring/summer of next year for either console

Can’t wait to see how Activision shoe horns pay to win micro-transactions a week after release into this one.

I'm not referring to its outdated graphics. Mario 64 is among the most important video games of all time.
There's remake, and more commonly remaster. This is not even a remaster. It's literally an emulator of n64/GameCube. Which is one of the cheapest shittiest ways to bring back a game.
And is pretty freaking terrible considering you're charging 60$ for a bundle of games that are in the 17-22 years old range. The least they can do is optimize them for modern consoles with a simple remaster.
Instead it would look far more impressive if someone pirated a copy of a game 20 + years ago and ran it on an emulator on their pc, rather than purchase this 60$ release that came out this week.

If Nintendo does with the 64 emulator what they with the NES and SNES emulators you'll see the game library expand more and more as time goes on. I bought the NES one in August and they've added a handful of games since then.

This isn't my personal opinion.
It's been widwly criticized as lazy.
I can't think of any AAA re-releases that were just emulators.
Emulators are for your like psn classics that are free with a subscription or 9.99 purchases

Microsoft just purchased Bethesda for $7.5B
So maybe the answer to "Why would I want a new Xbox" is: Fallout, Dishonored, and Elder Scrolls exclusives?
@jasonschreier
BREAKING: Microsoft is planning to buy Zenimax/Bethesda, an industry-shaking acquisition that will give Xbox ownership of Fallout, The Elder Scrolls, Doom, Wolfenstein, Dishonored, and more. Story hitting Bloomberg shortly
-
wow
-
That...damn.
Edit:
Deathloop, and Ghostwire: Tokyo will still release as timed exclusives for PS5.
All other titles will release on PC and Xbox. Other console releases will be determined on a case-by-case basis.
This usually doesn’t bode well for the smaller studios. Machine Games, Tango, and Roundhouse could be in trouble down the line.

Welp Sony is definitely quickly moving towards losing this console war
Xbox is just being aggressive as freak
I absolutely would not be surprised to see Skyrim come to gamepass or at least gamepass for the next gen only in time for launch

At this point, Microsoft is contractually committed to making more PS5 than Xbox exclusive games.

Which is what 3 years away minimum which means someone could be convinced to buy an xbox then, but not right now if they already wanted the PS5
Also Bethesda moves some needles, but it isn't exactly a death knell.
If somebody wants to drop a death knell on the other side, go buy out a sports game company, 2k Sports or EA. You want to murder the other side? Own all the sports franchises and the only way you can play madden or fifa or NHL or The Show, or 2k is on one system. That excrement will really kill off some competition. Granted it will be absurdly expensive to make that kind of power play. But then again buying Bethesda for 7.5 B isn't exactly throwing chump change around.
-
Does Microsoft really care whether you buy a next gen Xbox or not? I thought their focus was more on Xbox Game Pass, with the console just being an option for access. Microsoft, like most tech companies these days, looks at everything through the lens of subscriber revenue.
-
Bethesda doesn’t move the needle for me. I’ve never played any of those games other than Fallout 4 for PS4.
-
Yup, Microsoft even said, if I'm not mistaken, that they don't necessarily want you to buy a new Xbox. Gamepass is their big feature.
It was already an incredible value, now add in day 1 access to any Bethesda title, and in the winter they're adding EA Access to Gamepass for no additional charge.
And MS just released a Beta to stream games from your console to your phone, on top of already having unveiled access to xCloud a week ago.
-
i remember talking about this with some gaming heads a while ago, but isn't microsoft's ultimate goal to push a net-based 'streaming' service where anything with an internet connection in the future functionally becomes your console, and you'll be able to play through the use of a universal 'paddle'?

I'll be getting mine tomorrow. Hopefully it doesn't explode.
I'm not enthused with this launch catalog at all. As much as I loved Spidey for PS4, this strikes me as a game that will be available by March for like 20 bucks. COD is fun but not the immersive single player experience I can lose myself into that will show off the power of the system.
I'll honestly spend tomorrow evening probably just upgrading the games they're offering as free upgrades for now (MK11, No Mans Sky) and playing Mortal Kombat online or giving No Mans Sky one final shot because its trade in value is nil.
-

Got the PS for my kids to play Spidey. Otherwise, I would've waited.
-
I'm waiting it out.
I would have gotten a PS5 had the preorder thing been more transparent. But since I didn't, I'm not super upset about it. I will certainly get one at some point, but I'm not really interested in Demon's Souls, and Spidey is great, but I don't really wanna spend $70 on a shorter game, even if it does give me a reason to replay the original as well. So I am hoping that I can pick it up cheaper in the spring at some point.
Once more games start dropping later this month and into the new year, I will get more excited and end up getting one then. I think the first 'real' next gen title is oddly going to be Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart and that's probably when I will take the plunge, assuming of course it drops before Horizon does.

How long does it take to install games?
It's actually about the same except at least from what I've seen in COD and MK they give you the option of deciding what to install first. So in the case of COD I was able to have multiplayer installed within about twenty minutes and playing.
I've laid farts longer then the time it takes me from picking a character to being in a fight for MK.

Zombies looks fun but pretty sure I'm still gonna wait it out. 2K21 and COD aren't good enough reasons to go out and buy it. I just don't have enough time to play anymore.

When I've finished moving and can actually sit down and enjoy games, I'll be playing The Last Of Us Part 2, Ghosts Of Tsushima, Assassin's Creed Valhalla, and Cyberpunk 2077. Don't need a PS5 for any of them and it will take me months to get through those 4, so unless and until Horizon drops I can't see any reason to spend $500+ on one.

Cyberpunk 2077 will likely be the only other game I buy this year

Can't say I blame you guys given the massive depth of titles on PS4 (I'm still on my second Red Dead replay) and the absolute excrement that is this launch lineup. Had I not been having a decent football season and given the courts shutting down again that I'm going to have yet more spare time, I'd have flipped it on the secondary market.
Playstation Plus Collection on the 5 just mass dropped like twenty titles from the PS4 era including some classics (God of War, Fallout 4, Uncharted 4,) and I've never played Uncharted 4 or Bloodbourne so I may give those a shot.

I've heard wildly varying reviews of it. A friend of mine who actually used to work as a journalist for a gaming magazine posted this a couple of days ago:
Just finished The Last of Us Part II. Probably the most emotionally powerful #gaming experience I've ever had. What a #gutpunch of a story wrapped around fantastic game design and incredible tech. It's linear as hell, but a testament to gaming's rarely reached potential as a #storytelling medium. #Ellie, #Abby and #Joel are the most well rounded, flawed and compelling characters I've ever played as. It's a #masterpiece. Just a fascinating meditation on the high price of revenge.
I liked the original game very much, but perhaps not quite as much as many others did. I thought it was good, but a bit lacking in complexity. Sounds like the second may be more of the same.

It sounds like your friend really enjoyed the cartoon game.

Spider-Man: Miles Morales should have just been DLC for the first game. Super short main story, minimal new mechanics, really annoying characters. Maybe the PS5 version is more impressive.

PS5 is no better. It loads fast, that's the difference.
My youngest started playing it Saturday evening. By Sunday morning he had already finished the main storyline. I was like "that was a $60 game." He was like "yeah, but it was good." I was like "It was a sixty dollar game."
Rip off. If not for the fact that he's probably the world's biggest Spider-Man fan, we wouldn't even have bought the damn thing--especially since when we did we weren't aware it was being released on the 4 as well.

Well they did tell us it would be like 'the Lost Legacy' for the Uncharted series. A shorter side story. I also thought the game on PS5 (without the remastered PS4 game) was $50? Not that $10 matters that much of course in this scenario

Maybe? I don't recall for sure what we paid for it weeks ago on preorder, but I saw it on the shelf at Walmart over the weekend for $59.99, so I just assumed it was the same.
Like you said, $10 isn't really the difference maker here, the 10-hour story is.

It was quite clear Cyberpunk wasn’t ready considering it’s been delayed like 5 times for nearly a year and didn’t even launch with its next gen version since it’s so unfinished. I have full faith by the time the game is ‘done’ it’s going to be incredible. But I’m not jumping in on launch I’ll wait until at least the PS5 version fully exists. But much like I did with the Witcher 3, I might wait to get the “complete edition” when all the DC exists.
Q1 2021 is when next gen will really begin, not just because I think that’s when most people will actually be able to buy a console, but also because new games will start dropping quickly with two big ones in HZD Forbidden West and Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart(which oddly enough might be the first true next gen title experience)
Later in ‘21 we are supposed to get games like FF 16 and God Of War (which I’ll believe it’s coming in 2021 when it’s actually on a shelf). Next years cycle of sports games should be worth jumping into as well.
-
I don't think much is coming out in Q1. Certainly not a more impressive lineup than what's currently out. Im purely speculating but I see almost no chance HZDW comes out Q1. Cyberpunk probably also won't have a bug free version too soon, judging that it's borderline completely unplayable on the Xbox one and ps4.
For there to be a complete version could easily be two years away, since they mentioned making multiplayer a key feature at some point
I'd be shocked if ff16 comes out in 21 as well
-
Next generation Madden is fantastic. I'm really enjoying it so far.
A lot of the MUT twitteratti is bitching because "playing defense" to them entails finding the fastest linebackers you can and strafing the middle of the field covering sideline to sideline because for some reason defensive players all have a closing speed of Usain Bolt, and they've finally done a good job of mitigating if not outright nerfing that. Tough excrement.
Considering EA's penchant for squeezing every dollar out of their customer base, I wish they'd fix franchise, not include it with the base game and just charge it as a DLC already. I'll pay the extra 10 or 20 bucks, stop giving me a shell of a mode.
I only popped FIFA in to download it and get the upgrade, but in the one game I played against the CPU it felt smooth and looked great.

Except I got the edition where you get the ps4 Spidey remastered for PS5 and that's all I've been playing. A definite facelift on what for me was the best single player experience on the PS4.
I really expected and wanted to love Spiderman, and really didn't. The swinging mechanics and the combat were both really finicky and irritating. I thought it was going to be the next step on from the Arkham games, and it didn't come close.
I did finally unwrap and start Assassin's Creed: Odyssey a few days ago though, and after not having really enjoyed the previous AC games I tried this is a whole huge leap forward. Not sure it's a reboot, but it's a massive improvement from the older games.

I'm a year late on this one, but I've been playing Control on XB1. I'm not a horror fan, but I really like creepy, and this game is scratching that itch.
I also got Star Wars: Squadrons with the VR on PS5 for Xmas, and Immortals: Fenix Rising, so I can't wait to play those as well.
I have a massive backlog of games right now, especially since Microsoft has had a massive sale in the XB store so I grabbed a bunch of games anywhere from 55-75% off.

Curious to see how Fenix Rising is, I was surprised by what seemed like an early price drop.

I played a few hours worth. The tl;dr is: don't buy this game full price.
The larger review:
First and foremost, you need to enjoy puzzle games to enjoy this one. The ads make it look like a lot more action/fighting than actually occurs.
The game is very cartoony. Artistically, it's almost jarring because it doesn't always look like the intent was to be as close to cartoonish as it is. It's reminiscent of Kingdoms of Amalur in art-style, but KoA's art was better.
The dialog is corny. The opening cutscene has you sitting there like "Okay, this isn't the best opening monologue, but it could be worse." It never gets better.
The play controls are...meh? My kids tell me it's like Assassin's Creed in that I'll have to get used to a weird button layout (Ex. RB is the main attack button).
I've played ~4 hours and I've yet to fight what I'd consider a real boss battle. The game is okay, but if I'd have played a demo beforehand, I'd wait till this either came to GamePass or was a cheap on-sale title.
-
It looks like the Nickolodeon version of God Of War.

Do we know if there's going to be an Uncharted 5?

There was a spin off with the two girls which was quite good.

I did a quick google on it and there aren't any plans for it, but it seems like they have said that if they do ever make any more then they will be universe games i.e. no more Drake.
-
Do we know if there's going to be an Uncharted 5?
I don’t think anyone knows what NDs next big project is. Now that The Last of Us 2 can out this year. I had heard there was a rumor of a Sci-Fi shooter that ND had ideals of making one day. I also heard that perhaps either a Jak and Daxter remake or even next in the Series.

Sci-fi shooter would be cool

Different strokes I suppose, there's definitely a curve but I wound up loving the swinging and wall climbing mechanics. The combat actually kind of reminded me of Arkham, which I absolutely love (even Origins which imho gets undue hate). Gotham Knights looks very cool even if I'm bummed that Batman and Gordon are "dead."

I see no way that it isn’t. Literally the whole way through the trailer I was saying to myself this is Uncharted. Then I saw the Lucas Films tag and knew instantly what it was.
Graphically it looks pretty damn impressive for sure

play pretty much everything under the sun. PC/PS4/Switch , dont really need a next gen console when my PC can outperform them. I'll cave when PS5's are readily waiting on the shelves though
just started messing around with Baldurs Gate 3. thatll be a gem once its actually finished.

it honestly goes on sale routinely or you can just play it with EA Play
i use their Origin system on PC and you get all the EA Bioware stuff too.
but even if youre just on console it can be had for like 30 bucks maybe?
I dunno this yr was a step in the right direction, still work to do but it was definitely progress.
-

It's Bethesda so it will most likely be first person, most of their big games are - Doom, Wolfenstein, Dishonored are all 1P only. Fallout and later Elder Scrolls games both have 3P modes I think, but they're primarily designed as first person.

I haven't even pulled the plastic off it yet. Too many games, no time.

I never played the originals, so in anticipation, I played the original Baldur's Gate, and started the Siege of Dragonspear expansion.
They literally took away my love for video games. Until I finally quit and started playing Control a year late, I forgot I enjoyed video games. Even my kids commented that I finally seemed happier playing.

Local Costco had NBA Jam arcade cabinets marked down 200 bucks so I caved.
I love it. I'm incapable of building anything and it was fairly easy, online play seems smooth. My biggest issue is they didn't get licensing for every player so some teams on the OG version are incomplete, (I saw Dallas and Seattle) but the big guys are there with the exception of Payton. Tournament Edition and NBA Hangtime have multiple team combinations.

Ghost of Tsushima-
Only a couple hours in, but this game is it.
Amazing blend of story, graphics, and gameplay.
Probably the best game I’ve played since Horizon Zero Dawn and Zelda Breath of The Wild
This is the most visually pleasing game I have ever played
Uncharted 4 and Horizon Zero Dawn level graphics
I would say the gameplay is a blend of Red Dead 2, BOTW, and Horizon. But with a Samurai theme, story, and combat system. Swordfighting, assasinations and ninja weapons, Archery.
Leveling system is cool. Main story is interesting, missions are fun. Open world map is dope.

Unless you're like hard-core into it the old games only hold up from a writing perspective not UI , gameplay or anything lol

And its amazing so far

I'm usually the one carrying the "freak Madden" banner even though its a yearly purchase because I'm in a connected franchise. And yeah, freak Madden for the usual complaints about gameplay and franchise mode. The last two editions before this year were the worst of the series since the years CJ and Barry Sanders were on the cover. Just absolutely freaking terrible.
This years PS4 version was actually fairly good, and though there's plays that are blatantly OP because they haven't fixed some of the broken coverages on PS5 with a patch, the next gen version looks and plays beautifully and they've actually fixed some of this bullshit where defenders are jumping 20 yards in the air and making catches that make Jerry Rice look like fuckin Chris Herndon.

I'm a big fan of Black Isle/Bioware/Obsidian. The guys that worked together through those companies have come out with some great stuff, like the two Knights of the Old Republic games. And Planescape:Torment is still one of the best games I've ever played. But the writing in Baldur's Gate is just bad. Like, I-can't-get-through-this bad.
-
Finished Control this weekend.
The Ashtray Maze is one of the most fun things I've ever experienced in a video game.
-
Downloaded the FNV: The Frontier mod and the first half hour is just bad.
I'm ignoring the dialogue and voice work because that's honestly not what I'm playing for but holy excrement this is not a cut scene friendly engine and the opening for this mod is just full of them. Way too many stretches where you do not have full control of your character. Hopefully it picks up from here.
The positives so far:
-New armor sets look cool
-New weapons are good, although some of them have some pretty awful sights for first person
Haven't tried the new perks yet. They either only take effect after you begin the first part of the campaign or they don't fit my character.
Overall I'm optimistic that I'll enjoy it but it was Assassin's Creed III level frustrating to get to a playable point.
-
Hoping they'd just come up with a new story with new characters...aka what The Last of Us 2 should've been
Having now finished it, I can confidently inform you that The Last Of Us 2 is probably the best video game story I've ever played. I have the same minor issues with the gameplay, but it's still an absolutely brilliant story and experience. Also probably the darkest and most adult themed game I've ever played.
I can not for the life of me understand why you didn't enjoy it.

Because playing as Abby AFTER you know what she did is a difficult experience? For me it's virtually impossible to be 'rooting for her' as the game progresses, and I spent too much time delighting in 'messing up' and her character dies, and in the many death scenes that takes place throughout her story arc. I also didn't even get to learn everything about the most interesting part of her arc, the feud between the Scars and the Wolves and the back story of the seraphites.

If you thought that a game in TLOU series wouldn't put you in an emotionally compromising story line then you were not paying close enough attention to the first part.
I'll also reiterate the first point I made, Joel is not a sympathetic character and is in fact the second worst thing to happen to humanity, only outranked by the plague itself.

I don't agree, I think that he's enormously sympathetic. He made a huge decision that he has to carry around with him forever, putting his love for one person over the future of humanity, and he's almost at peace with it in himself but he knew that Ellie wouldn't be. She understands why he did it, but she hates that he gave her the guilt of living. But could you stand by and allow them to kill the person you love most in the world in order to save everyone else?
They're the most rounded and human characters I think I've ever come across in a game. They're all tormented by terrible demons that are formed by both the things that have happened to them, and the choices they have made as a result.

I appreciate his emotional struggle, but that mother fucker needed to die. I was only slightly surprised that it happens as quickly as it did in part 2.

This. I love the characters in the story. If you thought that a game in TLOU series wouldn't put you in an emotionally compromising story line then you were not paying close enough attention to the first part.
I'll also reiterate the first point I made, Joel is not a sympathetic character and is in fact the second worst thing to happen to humanity, only outranked by the plague itself.
I fully expected to be in an emotionally compromised position. But playing as the person who orchestrated the murder of the character we loved most prior to starting TLOU2 is a different ball game. And it's more about the fact that I didn't care that her and her friends were going to die. I was HAPPPY to kill them off.
But you aren't wrong, Joel is one of the worst things to happen to humanity by doing what he did, assuming of course that Abby's father actually could have pulled it off, basically by himself which would seem highly unlikely.
I just hated man-arms and that whole scenario of playing as her. Maybe it hit differently for other people, but I didn't connect with that whole half of the story very much.
-
I was as upset with Joel dying as I was with Walter White dying. Dude was a monster by the end of the first one, he needed to die, and it came at the hands of someone who he wronged. Once I found out who Abby was, I had no problem with what happened to him.
-
Been playing Slay the spire for a month or so. Just "beat" it yesterday.
Really fun game for anyone who loves strategy games and doesn't want to get to involved in something

I don't see him as a monster at all, only as someone who made an impossible choice. That said, I didn't have any problem with Abby and I think that her emotional journey was if anything greater than Ellie's - perhaps because she came closer to finding redemption at the end.
-
I assume but am not sure if it's the same on Playstation.
But on Xbox/series x the nfl probowl is free to play from yesterday through Sunday

We started BOTW after Christmas and I'm trying to ride it out as long as I can but I'm interested in the SS remaster since we skipped that one (once we finished Twilight Princess I was ready to move on to the Switch plus I didn't have all the working parts needed for the motion controls on Wii.)
It also depends on if it ever goes on sale, how long the gap is between when we're done with BOTW and when the sequel is due, etc.

Friend of mine sent me a message at lunchtime to tell me that some branches of EB Games received stock of PS5 today. Checked online, showed green at my local branch. Called them up, and within an hour I had a PS5 in the trunk of the car.
Thought it was going to be a race to see which took longer, a PS5 or a vaccine shot. As long as I've got one I don't need the other.

Ps5s are actually stupid easy to get these days (probably have been for a solid month at least) (even in Canada)
Xbox series S has also been phenomenally easy to get as well.
Xbox series x is the only one that's a nightmare finding.
If you're genuinely trying to get a ps5 theres a reddit and discord for stock on it, and you can probably find one in stock at least 3 days a week, if not more than that.

I got mine when Walmart was dropping stock every ten minutes. If you click 'add to cart' on the website, it gives an error and refreshes the page.
If you click 'add to cart' on the app, it gives an error but doesn't refresh the page, keeping the add to cart button active. Line up the error message with add to cart and spam it. As soon as the ten minutes were up I was able to snag a PS5.
Edit: I also followed the killercam twitch channel for stock notifications.

Up here it's easier to find in store, online sells to anyone who's looking so it sells as soon as it's in stock. In store requires the effort to go get it, you just have to be following the right lists. When I got mine I got a notification that EB Games had a stock drop, called up my local store, was in possession within an hour.

Finished Ghost Of Tsushima, put about 45 hours into it. Still have to go back and evict the rest of the Mongols, but to all intents and purposes I'm done - I did every side mission I found along the way and explored every undiscovered location that appeared. It's a beautiful game and the combat is really engaging and elegant, but the story wasn't the deepest and it did get a bit grindy at times. I didn't actually bothering using half the weapons or armours I found.
Not a game that will enter my Hall of Fame, but it was good.

I love the PS5, but its true. Gamepass is giving XBOX such a huge edge in the console wars. Just wait until Bethesda's offerings are either totally exclusive to Microsoft, or they're on gamepass on day 1 of release.
I've been chomping at the bit for MLB The Show, Diamond Dynasty is the only MUT-type mode I'll play and its fantastic.

Check your local Walmart. $150 for the TMNT cabinet with the riser. I may take a ride to surrounding stores. From what I can see it's pretty easy to mod with a raspberry pi. The TMNT model isn't great for modding as it's only two button. Gonna try and snag a street fighter or MK.

Arcade 1Up announced a Simpsons cabinet.
As much as I love the old beat-em-up, it's not on the purchase list for me unless I can get it on a sale (retail with stool, riser, light up marquee and light up deck and deck protector is going for $600) or if they're supplementing the machine with another game. It does have online capability which is cool, and FWIW, I continue to play my NBA Jam cab months after I got it.
The rumor is they are, and the other game is Simpsons Bowling. If that's the case, gimme dat.

Purchased a game on Saturday on a lark as the concept interested me and it was on sale on Steam..
Suzerain is the name of the game, its essentially a text-based/choose your own adventure style sim in which you take over the leadership of a war-torn and tumultuous fictional country in the late 50's.
I love it so far. Basically you inherit a real quagmire in which domestic upheaval is compounded by both an immediate border neighbor clearly ramping up for an invasion on your country while reformists try to change a constitution that features INSANE centralized power in the judiciary. While your party is the majority in parliament, there's a clear schism threatening its future from within, while the oppositions are plentiful in terms of their being centrists, those on the far left and those on the far right. All while attempting to preserve your nations sovereignty against the western and eastern superpowers seeking to expand their foothold globally (think America vs the USSR).
For ten bucks, well well worth it.

I enjoyed Outer Worlds (good story, choices felt consequential), but I feel like it's going to be a minor league version of what Bethesda is going to put out just by virtue of studio resources.
Very disappointed its an XBOX/PC exclusive, gaming PC's are getting harder and harder to come by at a decent rate so I'm honestly probably going to get an XBOX at some point next year.
EDIT: Suzerain update...I pissed off the oligarchs of the country to the point they framed me for a crime I didn't commit, impeached me, installed their patsy and had me jailed. Fuckers. Next playthrough I'm just going full dictator. Lesson learned.

On the flip side with cloud gaming you could theoretically play it on any piece of excrement PC.
Also xbox is legit the king of gaming in America by a huge margin. Gamepass is a behemoth and nobody can do anything to even come close to hold a candle to it.

I played it and loved it, but its a YUGE time investment. Much more so then BOTW.
Mario Golf is excellent.
Bought it last weekend but haven't played it yet. It's on my to do list for tomorrow. I love the series but haven't owned one since the n64 outing (which i thought was amaaazing).

No, I actually skipped it after playing Wind Waker and Twilight Princess for GC (on the Wii) because my wiimotes were totally shot and because I had started planning to buy the Switch last year.
So I'm pretty pleased they're releasing it for Switch, I'll probably get it to bridge the gap between BOTWs but I'm not in a rush unless there's a great sale.

I've been playing a newcomer to Xbox Game Pass: Hades. The game is fun, and while the graphics aren't my style, they're growing on me.

Honestly, and I say this as someone that's going to have to (and will) purchase an XBox, I'm really hoping the Bethesda exclusives turn the console war tide, if only so Sony, Microsoft and to a lesser extent Nintendo wake the freak up and recognize the immense power of successful AAA entries.
Look at GTA V and Skyrim. 10 years later and they're still bringing in massive revenue.

Elder scrolls came out 27 years ago, gta came out 24.
These franchises have been around longer than a large percentage of gamers on this planet have been alive.
I don't deny that AAA titles can still make bank. But how many NEW AAA titles do you see have success like those two? Yeah Mario, Zelda, that excrement prints cash. But unless you have a time machine, it's not the way to go.
Also GTA has gone all in on the micro transaction bandwagon

Keep an eye out for kits on sites like Newegg, you won't get anything super high end but you can get mid level cards like the RX 580 for a sensible price if you're also buying the other parts from them as well as part of a package. It will likely be more than enough horsepower for him for now, will give him everything he needs to build his first machine, and can easily be upgraded in a year or two when the market returns to something more sensible.

It's insane. I don't want to ruin any of it, but I've gotten to the 4th end boss and it's epic. I've also earned Titan blood with every weapon, and I've started upgrading the weapons. I have God Mode on, and every time you die, your damage resistance increases by 2, plus I have 3 instances of Death Denied, so my staying power is pretty good.

Amazing on multiple fronts. 1, the Legacy Addition has so many more games then the MK machine I got from Costco back in 2019. 2. the mod has me very jealous.
I've been thinking of getting my hands on the cheapest four joystick machine I can get (probably NBA Jam at this point), modding it and buying WWF Superstars or Wrestlefest skins to finally have my own WWF Classic machine, but I really don't have the technical expertise, or the know how to add more buttons to said machine.

Did they manage to remove all of the out of date Madden logos from the previous iteration?

I grabbed Far Cry 6. It's fun but it's definitely the same formula. GameStop fucked up a previous order and gave me $15. I would have been disappointed if I paid full price.

I'm still playing Hades. Hard to say a lot about it without spoilers but I think I'll still be playing this at least a month from now and I play a solid 2 or 3 nights a week.

I'm on one night a week and I'm playing Little Nightmares and Outer Wilds.

Just got word my Simpsons arcade cabinet from Arcade 1Up which was supposed to be here on Thursday is now delayed two freaking months.
Pretty pissed. As it stands, I've been holding off making new purchases on games I'd be interested in (Guardians, NHL 22) in anticipation of Black Friday sales.
-
Dang, I'm a huge Simpsons fan and have been on the fence on whether I want to get this cabinet. I already have two, I was considering selling the modded one to make space. That's frustrating it got delayed.

Incredibly frustrating considering I had planned on building it Thursday night and then playing it this weekend. Sucks.
Had I known this was going to happen I'd have seriously considered biting the bullet on X-Men although the current price point of $700.00 is a little absurd.
I can't impress upon you enough how sick I think your modded cab is. It's basically what I want if I could grab the side art and a light up marquee in the old WWF Superstars or WrestleFest mold.

Just looked this up. I was a big fan of Limbo so this should be entertaining.

The original Knights of the Old Republic (absolute GOAT tier game) was ported to Switch for 15 bucks today.
TBH, considering the absolute dearth of games out right now (I'm waiting for Black Friday to pick up the new Guardians), I'm probably going to grab it just to have something to do until at least Black Friday.
-
Let me know the quality of this. I never played the original but have only heard great things.
Like a mark, I bought the GTA trilogy remaster. Vice City is one of my all time favorite gaming experiences.

Hell yes. I'll be getting it as well, but I'm for whatever reason a mad man when it comes to wanting physical copies of things. But I'll be all about playing those three on a handheld. I absolute loved all three, but VC remains my favorite.
I cannot impress upon you enough, while at this point the graphics will most certainly be dated, if you're a star wars and RPG fan, KOTOR is one of the best games ever. I rank it better than some of the movies honestly.

I got the PC version as I anticipate some of the music will not be present and I know a mod will be available to resolve this.

You asked how people find the time. They spend less time watching TV and movies than you do, and play games instead. People use their free time in different ways.

that's fair.
In my own experience....for example, the new NHL game....I'd sit down after dinner, load the game, sift through all the modes/screens trying to figure out what's what, maybe play a few tutorials so i don't skate around the ice like Puck, and then finally play a single game in franchise mode. I look up at the clock and it's 2am.
That's all i was saying when i meant by having the time to play these games. I could sit and watch 2 movies, and be in bed by 10pm.
-
I'm much the same, I tend to only play games when I can immerse myself for a few hours at a time which is why I go months at a time without turning the console on. Lots of people seem to be able to just pick up and play for a hour or two at a time though.

it used to be like that...play for an hour or two, and then turn it off. The games and tech have gotten so complex that you need to book a few days off work to sit and play it properly.

Maybe it's just me, but I find that most of the games I play, are like the games I play.
Sure if you're one of those people who plays anything and everything I absolutely see you wasting a fair amount of time with learning curves
I think gaming has gotten streamlined to the point that everyone's making clones of the same games. Not to mention most of the biggest sellers are series that have come out with 10-20 different sequels over decades

I've talked about this a couple of times. I love this game. You have to keep dying to continue the story. And the more you do, the more powerful you become. Also, the weapons are so much fun, especially the hulk fists. I really enjoy the characters and the story that's unfolding.

i ended up succumbing and buying hades and assassin's creed valhalla for the ps5 that i do not own yet. i figure that by the time i get to a point where i could even play those games, i'd have been able to find a ps5 by that time
might do the same for ghosts of tsushima and FF7

The game looks gorgeous, and was really fun to play for < 10 hours

Don’t worry you have time to unretire. That’s a Quantic Dream game, given the comment about “early” development, I’d wager it’s.a minimum three years out. Check back for this Holiday 2024.

Exactly.
I just finished the main storyline this weekend. Feels like a lot of side story left to tell too. I switched to another game for now, but I'll be going back to Hades for a long time I think. There's a lot of features in the end-game that make it worth continuing to play as well.

if you have the DLC, you can power up the master sword from a 30 to a 40/50/60 depending on how many of the trials you complete. 60 also includes permanent glowing status which greatly increases the sword's durability.
The final trials have been a grind and not very fun so I keep putting it off, but I also don't want to proceed with the story until I finish them.

We're still in the transition period so developers are still making some games for both generations. However, the continued functionality on dual generations is already starting to disappear (Returnal, Ratchet & Clank, Horizon: Forbidden West) or wasn't a good idea in the first place (Cyberpunk: 2077).
It depends on what you want to play, I've been waiting for some of the next gen PS5 games for a while so I'm super excited to be able to get them, but we're already starting to see games made specifically for the PS4 getting phased out. I will say that I wouldn't endorse paying scalpers on the resale market. Use an extension like Octoshop/Ibotta and follow some PS5 restock accounts on Twitter. I've been tracking it for about a month now and it finally paid off.

I'm a very casual gamer, but I can't honestly tell you that I've noticed the difference. I got one because my buddy told me that the local store had them in stock, but I don't know that I can say it has thus far justified spending the money replacing the PS4. I always said that the motivator for me would be the new Horizon game.

I bought a new TV at the same time as buying the PS5 because I had a 50" 1080 that was the best part of a decade old, I figured I could stand to upgrade the TV to get the best out of the PS5 so I bought a 65" 4K. As a result I have no idea what improvements are the result of the TV upgrade and what are the PS5.

Good luck with that stuff man. Ratchet was awesome, huge fan of how they used the dual sense controller. Just finished Miles, it was a good game, some cool stuff, but I’m partial to Spider-Man 2018 more. Return all is something I’ll get to soon, Kena is next.
When Horizon drops in Mid February though, that’s immediately hitting the PS5

i know you were able to get one (congrats) but as an FYI for anybody else interested trying to get one, or a second one that they could give to someone/sell for profit
the best twitter account i've come across for getting a ps5 was @supplyninja. i followed him for 3 days and i was able to snag one from target.
i was able to get a second one through my playstation account. sony has a restock signup if you have a PSN account. can only do this once i imagine (haven't tried to sign up for one again), they apparently favor people who are active/have had accounts longer. when they come in stock, they'll send you an email with a date and buying window to buy a ps5 directly from them. my best friend had been unable to get a ps5 no matter what he tried, so this one went to him

Wanted to replay the remastered version before I played Miles, it really was a fantastic game.
I jumped on the PS5 because of my madden league and upgraded MLB The Show, otherwise it's fantastic but definitely could use more depth in games for being a year old.
I haven't touched Guardians yet despite it being a black friday purchase so that'll probably be next on the agenda.

Do I need ps5?
I've contemplated for a while. How much better is it than ps4. Seems like most games work on both
I was an early adopter
If you have a normal TV you'll notice very slightly faster load times, maybe a minimal increase in FPS AKA you'll notice next to no difference whatsoever and it's 100% not worth the money.
If you have a fancy high end TV, one of the top 5 or 6 gaming tvs on the market mostly that supports all the fancy bullshit. Things will definitely look moderately better. Not game changing, but definitely noticeable.
If you have an OG ps4/xbox one (ie not the pro stacked versions) and you have a high end top 5 or 6 gaming TV, you'll probably notice a significant improvement.
Basically for the vast majority of people unless there's exclusives you want to play (which there's basically none) or you can get a killer trade in deal for your old console (which happens when the stars align right) I'd say upgrading isn't worth the urgency

Is horizon for sure coming out in Feb? I’ve been perfectly happy with my ps4 lately but that might be the tipping point

Nothing is for sure these days
But I'd say it would be unprecedented for a major AAA release to have a substantial delay less than a month before release
-

That's the plan. It's always been planned to be a simultaneous PS4/5 release so a 5 isn't necessary.

Exactly what I did, got the Miles Ultimate edition with remastered Spidey and all the DLC, such a good game.

That said Horizon and God of War Ragnarök will likely be the last games (big AAA anyways) that will be simultaneous PS4/PS5 releases. I fully expect anything late 2022 and onwards will be PS5 exclusive

Yeah, the phase out is definitely coming.
My wish list was between this and an RTX 3070 for this year so it looks like I'll be rocking my 2060 for another year.

Covid-19 and supply issues probably means an extremely slow phase out, probably not ramping up until into 2023

Kena: Bridge of Spirits is, and I mean this in the best way possible, the most beautiful PS2 game I have ever played.
I cannot believe that this was developed by a 15-20 person studio.
Playing Kena now, it is stunningly gorgeous. But I am struggling with figuring out what the hell im supposed to do for several puzzles. Like not even sure where the hell im supposed to start. Did anyone else struggle with some of these?

A couple of them took a few minutes to figure out.use your pules and watch the area. Interact with anything blue.
There's going to be a few present early in the game that you won't be able to solve until you progress Kena's skill set further.

Finished Kena, now back to the RE2 remake.

Presumably you'll need to have an XBox or a PC to play new CoD titles and anything else in the Activision stable. I just looked at their franchises and I don't think there's a single title I care about.
-
Microsoft would be stupid to do that.
-
Finished Kena, now back to the RE2 remake.
Finished Kena as well, once I figured out the way these guys design things I found it easier to navigate. Game is charming and entertaining, well worth anyone taking a play through of it. Beautiful game with simple mechanics and ideas, surprisingly challenging in combat at times.
I have many story based questions that are unanswered so I would expect that we may see more of this world in time.
Returnal is up next for me.
-
I don't think there's any question that Microsoft is going to make COD an XBox exclusive. They already pretty much took everything under the Bethesda umbrella and did the same.
And you know what, it's going to work. Already my Madden league is exploring the possibility of migrating over to Xbox just because so many of them play COD, and even if they don't, I'm still buying one to play Starfield and ES6 when that comes out.
-
That just opens the door for Playstation to find a company that can build a better shooter hopefully.

That's my hope. I think what you'll see as well is Battlefield remain multiple console but have a shitload of exclusives for PS players.
-
Microsoft would be stupid to do that.
Why would that be stupid? If they keep it on Playstation then Microsoft would essentially be paying Sony 10K (price probably has gone up since I left the industry, actually) to get every game and patch approved in order to put the Activision-Blizzard games on Playstation.
Microsoft has also been pretty vocal over the fact that they care more about selling Game Pass more than anything else. Putting Bethesda and Activision-Blizzard on the catalog is going to make it really popular.

Dang. Might hold off on the PS5 console for the time being. Was in no rush to get it anyways

Why would that be stupid?
Are they just hoping that PS players will jump ship?

I've been looking at this a bit and I think it probably has not all that much to do with XBox and PC vs Playstation.
Microsoft, like a lot of huge tech companies, makes a vast amount of money from patents. That's why they still keep shipping Cortana, not because anyone uses it or ever will but because by developing and shipping it they can keep protecting and developing patents, and make a fortune from licensing those patents to other tech companies.
With Activision they just bought the world's biggest console game, the world's biggest MMORPG, and the world's biggest mobile game. With the last two in particular I can't believe that they aren't also getting a fuckton of patent rights, and MMO and mobile are still huge growth markets. I think the console stuff is probably not as important even if it's higher profile.

feel like each new iteration of COD for the past ~12-14 years is activision's attempt at trying to drop a yearly shitpost, so microsoft's reasoning to own is probably all the excrement you just said.
i don't know if any true PS fan/loyalist will be jumping ship just to have a shot of playing COD lmfao

I grew up PlayStation, PlayStation 2, then went to college and played Halo on Xbox. Went Xbox 360 to continue playing Halo, even though I was a Sony loyalist. Came back around to PS4, the uncharted series bundle is part of what drew me in tbh.
I don’t know if I would jump back to Xbox for COD, but it’s the only non-switch game I play regularly. I’ve bought it every year since COD 1 (started on PC) except for last year (Zodiac). And I would love to be able to play Halo again. Idk if the new one is any good.
-
Then went to college and played Halo on Xbox.
The entire time. Never attended class.

Don't know excrement about the video game market, that said, Microsoft is looking to get subscribers, pretty much everything they do is subscription model and cloud based. They're going to make a metric ton off this deal somehow. Satya Nadella is about the best in the business. I would venture a guess tha JE is close to the mark on half of it, with respect to the intangibles of the deal.

Sonys stock dropped over 20 billion dollars yesterday because of this deal. Sony is becoming a distant 2nd in the gaming world
I think Sony has to do something batshit freaking crazy, like buying Nintendo. (I don't see this happening, just showing the extreme Sony would have to go to)

I think there's every question. COD is presumably one of the biggest money makers of any video game out there making over 3 billion a year. I don't think Microsoft wants to canabalize that number.
That said Microsoft will absolutely freaking make xbox the best console to play COD on. Whether it's timed features timed exclusivity, extra content, or just a boatload of excrement bundled into gamepass. But I'd wager is unlikely that COD becomes an Xbox exclusive, some lesser or newer titles maybe
I think most likely this acquisition positions Microsoft to open up subscription tiers to gamepass, akin to how many cable providers worked in the past. Charging you extra for different packages (ie Activision, EA, etc)
I'm more curious as to how Microsoft changes the way the games are made. I know they generally try not to interfere, but this surely at least points companies in new directions

You're right, and the fact that Activision's cloud services are currently deployed on Google Cloud is definitely something that would interest Microsoft - Azure adoption is a big driver of a lot of their commercial activity. I think that Stadia is a model they definitely want to aim for as well, if you remove any dependency on expensive and/or dedicated client hardware and do all the rendering in the back end then you open up a whole new market - if all I need is an internet connection and a device capable of driving a display in order to play any game at all, then you're really driving change.

If I had to pick a target I would say that Konami and Sega are good possibilities. Lots of well loved and neglected franchises in those stables, and American companies often struggle to acquire Far Eastern businesses because of culture differences - it's very hard to make a major acquisition like that work. Much easier for a Japanese company like Sony, who won't have a problem understanding and managing a lot of Konami and Sega's very regionally specific revenue streams such as pachinko.
-
EA is a developer that they need to go after.
If they can get Battlefield and Madden/FIFA, it's on.
-

Microsoft already is contracted with EA.
Sure it's not an ownership thing, but I imagine whatever the deal they made is for multiple years. This wouldn't disqualify Sony, but it makes it far more difficult
Probably doesn't bode well for Sony that Battlefield and Madden both come free to Xbox players with gamepass (several months after release, but still)

Sega and Konami are possibilities. But they're not behemoths of industry. If Sony took either it means nothing, those two combined aren't even as big as Bethesda, and Activision is at least 10 times bigger than Bethesda.
Not to mention sega and Microsoft have a pretty strong partnership, with most sega titles being contracted to Microsoft with gamepass.
I'd think Microsoft buying sega is exponentially more likely than sega, the rumors have been ongoing for years.
Hell if you Google it Microsoft and Sega put out this huge elaborate long term strategic plan together this recent November

I’ll be curious to see what this Spartacus system is for PlayStation and how it is an “answer” to game pass.
-
I think there's every question. COD is presumably one of the biggest money makers of any video game out there making over 3 billion a year. I don't think Microsoft wants to canabalize that number.
I think Microsoft will absolutely take a short-term hit on a yearly sales number for the long term goal of making Gamepass the destination streaming service of gaming and their operating system and console the only way to get it. Forget about Sony, you're now also completely cutting out the middle man of brick and mortar retailers by utilizing your platform as the best place to stream games when they come out, and purchase them at a discount when they are retired from the service.
I saw what happened to Bethesda and their posture from when they first purchased the studio to when all of a sudden they determined everything was going to be exclusive. Phil Spenser has been saying the exact same excrement. There's no doubt by doing so they're taking a short term loss in terms of the profitability of games like Starfield and the eventual Elder Scrolls release.
If they can get Battlefield and Madden/FIFA, it's on.
I think your point that Sony was just going to get to work on making their own in house FPS is where this is going to go. Sony Interactive has cranked out some absolutely fantastic games, and there's a plethora of FPS's that aren't COD (destiny, apex) to lift/bogart ideas from. I don't know about FIFA, but if the MLB stepped in and basically told Sony that unless they made their game available on XBox they were going to end their agreement, I have to imagine the NFL would do the same. Video games are a gateway for recruiting younger fans, they won't cede half of that market because of what I'm sure they consider to be a dumb console war.
Speaking of EA, and sports games, it's only January 2022 and I'm eagerly anticipating EA NCAA Football, only 20 months away!

Wut is game pass? Really just haven’t paid attention

In terms of cost....
Activision cost Microsoft $70 billion
Bungie cost Sony $3.6 billion
If they have a secret COD killer, they would have cost a hell of a lot more to purchase. More likely Sony is trying to make a dent in the FPS market, and secure rights to their next IP which could be a big hit, but is no lock to be.

HZD is probably my favourite game ever, so I'm loving this. I love the tweaks they've made (focus pulse is excellent, and the combat improvements are cool) but it's still very much the same game. My only very minor criticism is that I don't love the climbing dynamic but it's not something that all harms the game.

Guerilla Games after losing out to BOTW for Game of the Year: "OH YOU WANT TO freaking CLIMB excrement?!?!"
I'm guessing that's the main reason they leaned so hard into it. Not sure how Decima is set up but I definitely don't remember anything like this in Killzone and I never played Death Stranding so no idea if it's meant to support a system like this, but I frequently find Aloy drifting to the sides when I'm trying to get her to climb directly up.

I put it down for a while. It's been really buggy for me. Hoping the new patches will help.
-
It’s been buggy, but I still can’t put it down. I have over 50 hours into it and I’m really enjoying it.
The first game was largely bug free and very good. This game is not as pristine, but has taken everything to a whole mother level. If they had put this on the back burner for 2 more months and launched it in Early May it probably would have been a similar type of limited bug experience. Hopefully they continue to polish it up

New band name, called it.
It's still a very fun game, but my reverence for it and Guerilla Games has worn down.

It’s also absurdly big. I have over 50 hours in and I’m barely over 50% of the way through. I have no doubt I’ll put it down at some point before the finish, it’s just too long not to at some point.

I keep meaning to go back to it and yet haven't for nearly two weeks. I've probably got 20 hours in it so far and I'm still in No Man's Land.

Prices on graphics cards are fairly rapidly declining towards baseline. They're still grossly overpriced, but I believe Asus was the first to openly disclose that they were cutting prices across the board.
How soon they'll be baseline idfk, but I'm pretty optimistic. I'm in the market but I personally wouldn't buy one before black Friday this year. Not just because of the sales. But also because prices could have dropped substantially over the next 6 months too

Switch is elite and I wasn’t a fan of the idea when it came out. It’s like having a next gen N64 and game boy all in one console. The games are what’s going to make the system, and the big releases have been fire.
I wasn’t a fan of the Wii controller scheme or the games they had for the console. Never had one though so that’s just me
this is good to hear.
i got an OLED switch deal during black friday that i have admittedly not even opened yet. i don't know what to do with it but i imagine once i start using it i'll be able to have some fun

It’s extremely buggy but I don’t really care. Usually just slight annoyances rather than anything experience ruining. Maybe the dumbed down version on PS4 is harder to notice

Where's a good place to get a playstation 4 console refurb that isnt likely to be a dud?

Don't think I can even find a PS5, that's why I'm looking at PS4. I doubt he cares.
My wife looked at GameStop, saw some good, some bad reviews about getting a refurb there.
Is Xbox just as good? I don't personally care, just want something he can play Madden on so I can yell at him for playing too many video games goddammit.

How much you looking to spend?
And honestly the difference between xbox and Playstation is essentially this.
People like Playstation better for their exclusives, which is predominantly 3rd person action adventure games targeted mostly at adults/older kids.
Xboxs claim to fame is gamepass, which is essentially the closest thing to the Netflix of video games (Playstation has something similar, not nearly as good)
Otherwise they're basically the exact same freaking piece of hardware.
The only other pertinent thing is whether his friends all predominantly play one or the other, as having the same one would make it easier to play online.
Also, I'm pretty sure you could fairly easily find either the ps5 or the new Xbox equivalent in stock
-
Me personally, I would rather buy an Xbox Series S (this is the new Xbox, but the cheapest model and it has no disk drive so you can only buy games digitally) than a ps4, especially a used one.
They're currently on sale for 239.99 from most of the reputable retailers. Which is a solid price, and would probably put you at ease better than buying a refurbished ps4 thats probably had the excrement beat out of for 10 years for 150.
Again I think it's probably not hard to get the flagship ps5/xbox series x, but those are 500$ which is a much bigger commitment.
Plus with the Xbox you can essentially just give him gamepass (their Netflix thingy) and he basically instantly has a catalog of several hundred games at his disposal. Plus it has the perk of the majority of sports games end up free on there (usually at the tail end of the season but 🤷)

It's not a good thing until you see what happens with Activision.
Activision has been an absolute freaking nightmare in recent years, quality has gone off a cliff all the scandals, plus their monetization has been beyond predatory.
You can argue against monopolies, but Microsoft has been extraordinarily consumer friendly (for gaming) in recent years. Theres hard to imagine a better company that can afford Activision that would repair that brand than Microsoft.

It’s not the FTC’s job to regulate the quality of a private company. Just because Activision is in the toilet now we shouldn’t let a monopoly form.
Their rulings set precedent, if you allow Microsoft then you need to allow the next one.
Past record of being consumer friendly doesn’t indicate future practice. Leadership changes, you cant undo the acquisition because now theyre being assholes.

Have a friend that works higher up in management at QVC, he was able to get me an employee discount on a PS5 bundle. With his discount it probably comes out to be what regular price is for a PS5 since QVC is overpriced, so all is good. Comes with sack boy (whatever that is) and controllers, chargers, headset, etc.

I’m about 25 hours in. It’s tremendous, but so far I prefer combat from 2018. Story of this one is much more intriguing, even if it gets a little “slow” at times for me.
I’m excited to see the finale.

Agreed! It’s a lot of fun but 2018 felt more… rewarding? I’m not sure the right word but both are fantastic.
-
I know what you mean. There seems to be a lot more emphasis on defensive mechanics, particularly parrying being a life saving necessity, and relatively speaking I feel like I am doing less damage to grunt level bad guys than in 2018. But I’m also not powered all the way up yet, so perhaps I will be soon enough.
Still can’t put it down though. Excited to try and finish it up this weekend.

My complaint was wanting more but shorter worlds. Some of the worlds took ages to explore as a completionist gamer.
It was fun, and the sequel looks to be improved in every way. Grab it for free on ps+ this month. Definitely one of the top games we will get on that service in 2023.

Would you actually use it as a handheld device ? If not then I don't see the purpose
Especially with all these fancy streaming bullshits
You can basically play Xbox on any device with internet, and then you have the Nvidia streaming that'll let you play many games from steam epic etc etc on any TV laptop tablet phone etc
Just seems like there's a lot of services that have major flexibility
And you don't have to worry about upgrading or obsolete hardware .
Imo the best reason to use a steamdeck is if you want the ideal portable piracy experience

Technically you can do that on a PS4 as well.
I thought for sure I was going to get a PS5 but I haven’t seen the value in it yet, especially with the limited inventory. I only get to play video games once a week now, and more times than not its only to kick my son‘s derriere at some game on the Nintendo switch.
I wish I could game more often - adulting is pure crap.

I finished the story of Horizon: Forbidden West last night. Game is every bit as brilliant as the first one, and the story is excellent, but the ending has none of the impact that the first one did. I sat there and went "Really? That's it?" I'll run around for a bunch more hours doing clean up, and I'll buy the DLC when it comes out, and I'll get myself all excited for the next instalment in another couple of years, but it was honestly a bit of a let down.

I felt the same way. It felt pretty abrupt, like they wrote and executed the ending in a half hour

Similar thoughts on the ending. It almost felt like they built up all this mystery and intrigue and didn’t know how to properly wrap it up with the same intensity. It did make me a bit worried about the storyline for what I presume will be the final installment for a moment. Then I realized they had a plan for this entire epic/arc from the beginning. While not every story beat has landed for me, it will still be a damn good game and one I will significantly enjoy playing in due time.

Steamdeck changed everything for me. I can sit in the living room with the family and be gaming or laying next to the wife. I know you can do that with the switch but I legit have like 600 games in my Steam library, plug I got access to the Epic game store and can emulate older consoles (and Switch.)

Finished God of War Ragnarok last night. Sweet Jesus what a ride this edition of the saga has been.

I'm not a fan of the Harry Potter series. My wife made me watch the movies which I thought were decidedly meh (some really great individual performances so they aren't total excrement), and I never read the books. Due to a massive game rut thanks to my early exit from the Madden league I'm in this year (the freaking game is terrible even by its own very, VERY low standard so I traded it in earlier then usual) I decided to get my hands on Hogwarts Legacy. It is a lot of fun. There's a shitload to do off the main story branch, the map looks fantastic, combat is smooth and easy to pick up. Definitely a solid game. I've heard of a excrement ton of framerate and graphic issues on PC, but I've been playing on PS5 (psn: possiblysuspect), so I don't care.
I'm just killing time until MLB The Show, the Zelda sequel and finally Starfield comes out.
-
I'm really struggling to enjoy God Of War: Ragnarok, which is a shame because I've loved all the other entries in the series. I'm finding it plodding and linear and unengaging, but if I don't finish it now I doubt I'll ever pick it up again.
I got a copy of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and I'm far more excited to get started on that than I am to finish GOW.
-
Update on the above: I did indeed give up on it. It's completely unengaging and the skill trees and combat are overly complex and tedious.
-
Sorry you couldn’t get into it. I personally loved the Ragnarok experience overall, even though I preferred 2018.

Hogwarts Legacy is amazing. Lot of love and hard work went into this. The fact it's being so heavily modded shows you how technically sound it is too.
Reminds me of when BioWare was actually good at making games.

Waiting for the complete version of Baldurs Gate 3 . Bought it when it was in alpha few years ago .
-
I've never been a huge souls like guy
But Wo Long came out this week and is a fantastic game (free on gamepass OFC)
It's not open world like Elden Ring but the combat is excellent. It might be slightly more arcadey than your typical souls like, but it's still difficult and methodical.
I think they said something like 80% of people who played it on gamepass didn't beat the first boss (of course this is also because gamepass attracts lots of people who have no idea wtf a game is about)
Highly reccomend

If you're gonna get Zelda Nintendo switch offers 2 games for 99$ (the new Zelda is an option)
If you buy Nintendo eshop bucks when on sale (ie 80$ for 100 from Costco or regularly 90$ for 100) this gets you Zelda + basically any other 1st party Nintendo game for 80$
The only caveat is you have to have Nintendos shitty online subscription to use the vouchers
Gotta manage the cap irl

But for a game where Nintendo raised the MSRP it makes much more sense to buy it this way

Lol not really a huge modern Zelda fan. I grew up on all the games i have zelda merch. Its iconic . To me BOTW was a scaled down skyrim. People acted like it was revolutionary. Also being a RPG nerd im usually into lore of games and Zeldas lore is almost as messy and convoluted as Kingdom Heart's.
I'm also tired of the pastel water color art direction. The art design is good and all but I am definitely tired of games in 2023 being hampered by switch mediocre hardware
I see the universal appeal of Zelda and I will eventually purchase it and beat it like every other Zelda lol
But Diablo 4 and FF16 will be played before that lol .

The secondhand market for office equipment is apparently flooded with good quality stock from companies that have gone WFH and no longer need it. Herman Miller merged with one of their big competitors a year or two back and their CEO made an derriere of herself recently telling staff they had to suck it up and work harder because market conditions blah blah blah. I'd have a google for some office supply resale companies and see what good used stock they have, you might find some good deals. I think the Herman Miller Aeron is the gold standard but I don't know what kind of price you'll get them for.

Zelda has been around for 30 something years and this is the first title they decided to add 120 mini shrines to show off the gimmicky hardware of the Wii U
-
I liked the shrines and preferred them to the typical dungeons of the past games.
-
I can't stop playing CoD: Warzone....dammit Heismanberg.
I haven't gamed like this in 15 years. My bloodlust is insatiable.

Some people do/did and they're allowed to. But the biggest complaint about BOTW was the dungeons were samesy and an afterthought

10 stops away.
I just watched the BOTW story recap on my switch. No way this game is as good as BOTW… that was such a clean game. That was also my first Zelda game that I played other than Ocarina of Time occasional on my friends N64 (PlayStation guy)

Shipping fucked me. Not getting it until tomorrow and I'm away for basically the entire afternoon.

There's a lot more you can do in college football games. 130+ teams, recruiting, the transfer portal, more diverse playbooks, etc.

Finished TOTK. Top five Zelda game with Breath, Ocarina, OG, and Link to the Past, in no order.
It's a nearly perfect game and the in-game physics were just astonishing. I wish underworld exploration wasn't so tedious, they probably could have given you more to do than fumble through the dark from one lightroot to the next. My main gripe is the same for both Breath and Tears: the final phase of the final fight is brilliant on paper, breathtakingly cinematic, and total dogshit in terms of gameplay. I kind of wish they just went with extended movies in both instances, because it's such a sour, anticlimactic note when the rest of the games featured some of the most brilliant gameplay ever made.
Still a 10/10 game, though. I really don't know where the franchise goes from here.

Just finished it. The entire underworld exploration to get the hero of time armor was freaking TEDIOUS, but I wasn't fighting Ganondorf without Link's classic tunic.
I loved it. I still put OOT and Link to the Past ahead of it.
Considering they re-released on Switch whats considered to be the beginning of the canon with Skyward Sword (which is imho supremely underrated), and the end was what it was, I think we're going to see a new antagonist. I'd say maybe they do a reboot, but I can't think of when Nintendo's done that with their franchises.

I love these games, but I think the insistence that they all share a timeline - or timelines - is really goofy. Fans tie themselves in knots trying to explain the retcons after every new release like they're parsing The Silmarillion.
If Link losing in OOT is canon, your canon is dumb.

How do you not have gamepass you heathen?
I can't see any scenario where it's justified to buy this when it's a day one first party gamepass title that's a pc/xbox exclusive. So it'll be on gamepass forever, which also means this game is going to <10$ within 2 years (as permanent gamepass games hold no value whatsoever)
Purchasing is a massive waste of cap space. Not to mention, as much as I fap to all things gamepass, Microsofts track record of 1st party titles has been horrible lately. In the last 2 years it's been what? Redfall which is one of the worst games literally in existence. And then before that halo infinite which was basically stripped down halo game full of microtransactions?
Cancel that excrement and get gamepass like the rest of the civilized world

So I actually don't have an xbox yet ergo I don't have gamepass, but I'll spend the extra $$$ for the early release. I'm that invested in this game, I've waited two years for it.
Understanding your point about 1st party Microsoft titles, and also keeping in mind Bethesda is NO-NO-NOTORIOUS for releasing products that are buggy AF upon release and get patched out, I have insanely high expectations for this game.

The game is on gamepass for pc/xbox. So no matter what system you're playing it on, the games available from gamepass
Heck most tvs/phones/tablets also have built in gamepass.
FWIW you can also upgrade from the gamepass version to the premium version for the early access only paying the difference.
Hell you get a 20% discount if you buy the game while having a gamepass subscription. So it more than pays for itself if you for some bizarre reason still want to give Microsoft extra money

Favorite game ever is probably Skyrim, and I also spent countless weeks finishing and doing everything in Fallout 3 and Fallout:New Vegas. I'd spend an entire day collecting bear pelts in Red Dead Redemption.

My son's been playing Last of Us 2 since release day. That game is crazy.
I've been playing Jedi Fallen Order for a few weeks now. The gameplay is really good. So far, the story is average. I like Cameron Monaghan as the protagonist. Overall, I'm really enjoying it. Except trying to follow the map. The map is garbage.
Finally got round to starting this. A dozen or so hours in and it's really fun, but holy hell you weren't lying about the map. I spent a full hour trying to navigate my way back to the ship from those freaking mines.

I'll have to look into it, we're a Switch family but I'm not the biggest Mario guy. Never owned Mario 64 (only played at a friend's house), never finished Galaxy, never owned Paper or Sunshine or Odyssey.

Gotham Knights is free with an Xbox gamepass or Playstation plus membership.
It's one of those games that gives me a massive headache because of motionblur excrement or something, but gameplay wise it seems seems exactly like every other 3rd person action oriented game (which if you're into the genre I'd imagine you'd enjoy it)
Dead space not my thing but also included on gamepass. It's hard to justify buying games when there's so much variety included in the subscriptions
(which also both gamepass and playstation plus are deeply discounted for black friday week)

It actually looks like a pretty good deal - $116 CAD for a year of the middle level subscription and access to the full catalog. Worth noting that most of the games I've bought or wanted to buy recently (both Star Wars Jedi titles, Dead Space, Hogwarts) aren't there though. How long do games generally stay available in the catalog?

The other thing to keep in mind is that Playstation (and Xbox and Nintendo) currency is usually also discounted during black Friday week.
So for 80$ I can typically buy 100$ worth of Playstation currency and then use that currency to buy Playstation plus which is also discounted
So you can essentially get like 20% off then another 35% off or whatever based on the tier you pick
How long games are available is usually publisher specific. So games could be available for several months to closer a year. While others will be available for years to permanently.
Idk if you have a pc you use or a TV that supports gamepass streaming (in either scenario you can use your playstion controller, albeit the quality of a streaming experience is very YMMV)
But it's worth pointing out that dead space is currently on gamepass, as is jedi fallen order. I imagine the new jedi game will also arrive in the next year

Im replaying Shin Megami Tensei : Nocturne. I had the original on PS2 but it was remastered a year or two ago on PC and modern consoles.
game is about 20 years old but I'm a JRPG and RPG nerd. SMT was Pokemon over a decade before Pokemon came out. Except its just demons and gods from multiple cultures and religions instead of cute creatures lol. Always a morbid and dark post apocalypse story.
This one is famous for having Dante from Devil May Cry as a recruitable character.
Fun Fact: In PAL regions, the game has the most metal name ever

So I just finished Sea of Stars tonight. If you are a fan of RPGs this one should be on your list. I thought it was very very good.
Art and music is awesome, the art design gives off Chrono Trigger vibes off the whole battles taking place in the overworld aspect. I only played an hour and stopped. I mostly heard the equipment and combat system gets repetitive but its overall good.
I'll have to revisit it and see for myself.
How many hours did the story take?

played it put maybe 10 or 12 hours in. Got bored. It is thoroughly impressive though considering it was built and developed ground up by 1 person. Incredibly impressive in that regard.
I'll revisit that one eventually but I think it got so hyped up I expected something better lol.

Well I'll warn you sea of stars is just not as good period
The combat/rpg elements are severely lacking (ie you get almost no abilities/customization) so sea of stars just doesn't last. I found it EXTREMELY repetitive. I think like 10 hours in and all my characters had mostly the same 2-3 abilities you start with. Every battle felt exactly the same

Story wise I feel like 20 ish hours. I’ve been craving an RPG to play, and outside of FF 16, haven’t found anything new to try this year. It definitely has its limits and it’s “growth” elements in the rpg side of things is one of the,. But I enjoyed my time with it for sure, quite possibly because of how much it reminded me of chrono trigger

If you're looking for a new AAA RPG to play Octopath Traveler/Octopath traveler 2 are among the best. It's Square Enix and it's more classic RPG than these other rpgs (cough cough FF16) that takes more Souls Like elements than anything

Oh I agree that 16 isn’t exactly an RPG, fun, but not really an RPG in the traditional sense.
Looking forwards to FF VII Rebirth in a couple months

I remember there was some curiosity, Gotham Knights on Xbox is on sale right now for $17.99. Says it comes with main game and Visionary Pack.
I make no warranties on its playability. I still haven't tried it either.

I finished The Callisto Protocol. All the criticisms of it are fair - it is short, linear and formulaic with not great combat - but I really enjoyed it for what it is. As a palate cleanser between big games it was the perfect length and level of brain involvement, the graphics are fantastic, and it was atmospheric with some good scares. If you spent $60 on it you'd be annoyed, but on sale or even better as a subscription freebie you could do much worse.

Baldurs Gate 3 is legit
And apparently with xbox you can buy it with a VPN in Egypt for 22$

Having now finished it, I can confidently inform you that The Last Of Us 2 is probably the best video game story I've ever played. I have the same minor issues with the gameplay, but it's still an absolutely brilliant story and experience. Also probably the darkest and most adult themed game I've ever played.
Very late to this party but I agree with you 100%. This game elevates the art form. They can and will tell the story in the HBO series and it'll be great, but it won't be complete as anything other than the video game. You need to actually be in control of the antagonist/protagonist, protagonist/antagonist for the full scope of the experience.
I might have taken it one step further and had the player control Abby when she does the deed. But giving you control of her prior to the thing is the most important part.

Thanks for the reminder. Epic gives out a free game every week (changes on Thursday at 11 AM ET). But lately, it's been one a day (changing at 11 ET). Yesterday was Plague Tale.
Some of the games are meh, but they all cost the same as my favorite beer, so I won't complain.

I know, I have hundreds of titles in my Epic library, the vast majority of which I'll never get round to playing. I tend to install the puzzle and platform games more commonly as they're interludes while I'm sitting at my desk, and leave the actioners for the PS.
I only mentioned this one because it's a bigger and more recent title than a lot of the freebies they give out.

I have an always-tab open in my browser for Epic so I can get the current game.

I can't wait until EA gives us the same dynasty mode from the last game. Which came out ten years ago.
Who am I kidding, they're still gonna get my money.

First of all if I get the same game as NCAA14, but with updated graphics and rosters I’d absolutely pay for that.
But they’ve already said, NIL and Transfer portal are going to be a heavy part of the new version of Dynasty.
Realistically, the “real” game that’s got the best chance to be good isn’t football 24 it’s actually next year after they iron out whatever doesn’t actually work quite right in year one

I haven't seen a Playstation get as much hype as helldivers in a long time
It sounds legit, but has some major microtransactions

I watched a gameplay video of it the other day, it looks stunningly boring. It's literally running around shooting endless waves of gribblies and, er, that's it.

You're probably right. I'm not sure that being highly skilled at COD is necessarily something that should be a source of pride though.

I'm with JE on this one. I have terrible FPS skills and get no enjoyment out of playing them most of the time. The only time I've ever really enjoyed a FPS is playing Gears of War with my youngest who is a complete psychopath that always runs way ahead shooting everything while I get off one long-distance headshot every 5 minutes.

It's so hard to pay money for them

If you want to wait, that’s fine. But this game is a masterpiece. It’s the best open world I’ve ever played. Sure it’s not perfect, but it’s damned impressive, especially if you have a connection to FF7

I dunno 16, integrade, and ff7 remake part 1 were all just okay.
But I'm also a cranky old person wanna be who wants his RPGs turn based.
You are right though, game got some very good reviews and it'll be exciting to play through. Unfortunately for SE their games just don't hold value (albeit dawntrail is probably going to regularly crash Sonys networks in July)

Helldivers 2 is the most co op fun I've had with a co op shooter since Destiny first launched.
Gameplay mechanics and survival require communication and skill especially because of friendly fire.
AI is adaptive and increasingly more difficult to a point you're just trauma bonding once you play difficulty 8-10
Also the starship troopers fascism parody is just plain hilarious
And I don't typically play shooters but if you're in a decent squad or with a couple friends it's just plain fun.
You can do plenty without making a single mictroteansacrion purchase
Very happy with the game.

WTF is that? Does it involve blood?
-
I've only played a handful of Ubisoft games to my recollection, but I've never paid a penny over the purchase price of the game. I don't play games online so I've never felt the need to buy the Casablanca Go-Go Girl Warrior outfit or the sequin encrusted AK-47. I put the disc in the machine, I let it load up, I play through the single player story over a period of days, weeks and sometimes months, then when it's over it either goes into the "might play again sometime" pile or the "take it in for store credit next time I want a new game" pile.

If you've played one you played them all
Every Ubisoft game is an assassin's creed reskin with the exact same UI and an even bigger cash store than the previous title
