Good, old gen is wasted resource at this point. I'm kinda glad that they won't be pouring time, money and energy into it. If you chose to start Destiny (a game which touted a 10 year life span, even though that's not exactly happening now...) on either 360 or PS3, are you really that surprised it's been knocked on the head, or did you expect them to support the old consoles for years to come?
I'd be mad for all of those, even The Evil Within. I picked that bad boy up in a sale and it reminded me of a schizophrenic mash up of Silent Hill and Resident Evil 4. So yes please, for second servings!
@get2sammyb I've tried, dear God I've tried, but the mechanics are clunky as hell, and I hate being forced through the games due to constant time issue. So yeah, not for me. I even finished 3 out of sheer desperation, as there was nothing else on XB1 at the time
In terms of sales then did The Order not do very well? I admit I'm being a bit lazy here by not looking it up, but sales spreadsheets sometimes confuse me.
Didn't Kotaku's Jason Schreier received a death threat as well, for reporting on the rumour before it was officially announced? People genuinely scare me sometimes.
@placidcasual don't come in here with your logic and reason! It makes PERFECT sense that if you loved and enjoyed previous Megaman games, that you should avoid this and still maintain that you have a valid opinion purely because of its marketing!
I still think 3 is the best. I even prefer it to 4. 4 felt like a real slog towards the end. The wide open areas that were largely empty just became tedious to comb and look for treasures. Even the combat became really repetitive for me.
It's still a tremendous game, but overall I was a little disappointed. The ending was lovely, though
Good results for both. I'm more so happy for Doom, as good sales will hopefully mean a continuation of the franchise! I finished the single player last night and it was an absolute blast, now.... back to Uncharted!
I'miss guestimating, but Nidd say I'm about two thirds through on ultra violent. It's superb. Everything I always wanted in a modern iteration. No reloading, fast twitch shooting, superb graphics, lots of secrets and exploring, AMAZING sound design... I'm loving every minute of it!!
Plus, the collectors edition that I ordered? The box is HUGE, and the statue is incredible!
Verily yea, for they've been punished for their hubris. Personally, as soon as the inevitable single player add on is released I'm gonna be all over it like butter on toast.
To be fair though I haven't played this since the 360 days, and I'm a complete sucker for Metroidvania games. Maybe in the inevitable sale/price drop in like... 2 days or something.
@Grawlog I was in the alpha which was really bare bones, but I still had fun. The beta that introduced the levelling system and general spit and polish was great again. Providing they support it with dlc and stuff, I can't see why it won't have some legs for a bit.
I can acknowledge that most of this is probably rose tinted nostalgia, but that time when Ultimate Doom went live via shareware was a pivotal point in my life. I still enjoy 3 as well, warts and all.
@themcnoisy I'm actually splurging on this one and going for the SE. I normally avoid those considering the ridiculous cost, but how often do we get a new Doom game?
@get2sammyb I know exactly what you mean. Simple pick up and play stuff, where you can get to the meat and potatoes within minutes. Whenever I'm tired and want to just unwind I still play Joust and Q*Bert on my NES!
Loved that! I'm gonna go ahead and willingly put myself on the line of fire here... but I think I'm looking forward to this more than Uncharted 4 <ducks for cover>
Genuinely surprised and delighted. I finished up my first playthrough last night and it was a joy from start to finish. Random question though, I encountered 3-4 total crashes whilst playing, which was the first time in a long time. Anyone else have any teething issues?
@Bazza78 Zombi is a solid game. Personally I think it got a bad rap. It won't win any awards for anything but I enjoyed it far more than most of the dross that's out there.
My first ever n64 game. And it cost £67.99! £67.99 people! That was a lot of paper rounds! Daylight robbery I tells ya...
And to make matters worse it wasn't until I got home and fired it up that I found out I needed a bloody memory pak as well! Some harsh life lessons right there!
@KratosMD completely agree. I'm more of a single player dude by default, but playing with close mates and riding out in our own posse was something truly special.
@get2sammyb the weapons were top notch, but the story felt lacking. It just didn't have that spark that the first one did. Plus, naysayers be damned, the multiplayer was pretty fun too.
It's two weeks. Two whole weeks. I've taken dumps that have lasted longer than that. So before some people start going insane, let's try and keep things in perspective.
I'm hoping for £299, but think it'll pip that with maybe some accessories lumped in to justify the price. Let's be honest, Sony have probably got a bajillion Move controllers littered around the place.
@get2sammyb agreeing with Sammy on this one. I ploughed through it one weekend whilst I had the flu. It was okay. Like most launch titles it seemed more like a concept demo more than anything else.
I've been a keen advocate of Destiny since launch, but I honestly think I've just given up on it now. After exhasting TTK I went back for Halloween but got bored, and whilst the sparrow racing sounded awesome on paper it just didn't hold me. Ah well, here's hoping this sequel they're supposedly working on will rejuvenate the franchise.

Looks incredible, genuinely thrilled to see it in motion.

Re: Bethesda to Bring Prey 2, The Evil Within 2, and Wolfenstein 2 to E3 2016
I'd be mad for all of those, even The Evil Within. I picked that bad boy up in a sale and it reminded me of a schizophrenic mash up of Silent Hill and Resident Evil 4. So yes please, for second servings!
Re: Rumour: Dead Rising 4 Leaks, But May Be Skipping PS4
@get2sammyb I've tried, dear God I've tried, but the mechanics are clunky as hell, and I hate being forced through the games due to constant time issue. So yeah, not for me. I even finished 3 out of sheer desperation, as there was nothing else on XB1 at the time
Re: Horizon: Zero Dawn Delayed to February 2017 on PS4
SHE'S A TEST TUBE BABBIE, CREATED BY MACHINES PLAYING GOD! CALLED IT!
But yeah, looks EPIC.
Re: Hands On: Fallout 4: Far Harbor Removes Fog to Boost PS4 Framerate
@Ralizah They screwed up Rage as well on pc. I remember feeling pretty burnt by that.
Re: Hands On: Fallout 4: Far Harbor Removes Fog to Boost PS4 Framerate
@Grawlog that's disappointing. Bloody Bethesda...
Re: Hands On: Fallout 4: Far Harbor Removes Fog to Boost PS4 Framerate
This framerate issue though, was it just a problem for PS4 or for XB1 as well?
Re: Ready at Dawn's De-Formers Is... Not What We Expected
@Grawlog @get2sammyb cheers both.
Re: Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap Is Back and More Beautiful Than Ever
SOLD! I loved this game! I especially like how the ducking animation for the dragon has remained intact!
Re: Ready at Dawn's De-Formers Is... Not What We Expected
In terms of sales then did The Order not do very well? I admit I'm being a bit lazy here by not looking it up, but sales spreadsheets sometimes confuse me.
Personally I quite enjoyed it for what it was.
Re: No Man's Sky Dev Received Death Threats Over Delay

Re: Behold the Mighty No.9 Trailer People Are Tearing to Bits
I'm going to be rational and reserve judgement until I play it. But yeah, the trailer was gash.
Re: Poll: Which Uncharted Game Is the Best?
I still think 3 is the best. I even prefer it to 4. 4 felt like a real slog towards the end. The wide open areas that were largely empty just became tedious to comb and look for treasures. Even the combat became really repetitive for me.
It's still a tremendous game, but overall I was a little disappointed. The ending was lovely, though
Re: Video: Should You Buy DOOM on PS4?
@DrClayman I'm with you. I bloody loved it. It's at least a solid 8 or 9 just for the SP campaign.
Re: UK Sales Charts: Uncharted 4 Smashes Predecessor's Sales on PS4
Good results for both. I'm more so happy for Doom, as good sales will hopefully mean a continuation of the franchise! I finished the single player last night and it was an absolute blast, now.... back to Uncharted!

Re: Rumour: Cancelled Open World Sci-Fi Title Prey 2 Could Be Revived at E3 2016
I hope so. I think the first one is an underrated gem.

Re: DOOM's PS4 Launch Trailer Needs More Double Bass Pedal

Re: Review: Alienation (PS4)
+2 points from me for the "Aliens" reference. That is all.
Re: UK Sales Charts: Ratchet & Clank Secures Series First Number One
Genuinely surprised and delighted. I finished up my first playthrough last night and it was a joy from start to finish. Random question though, I encountered 3-4 total crashes whilst playing, which was the first time in a long time. Anyone else have any teething issues?
Re: Your Free PlayStation Plus Games Are Available Now
@Bazza78 Zombi is a solid game. Personally I think it got a bad rap. It won't win any awards for anything but I enjoyed it far more than most of the dross that's out there.

Re: Review: EA Sports UFC 2 (PS4)
That box art makes me sad.
Re: Street Fighter V's Mega March Update Is Finally Happening
@sub12 thought so, I've seen you comment before and you've seemed like a good egg! <man hugs>
Re: Street Fighter V's Mega March Update Is Finally Happening
@Bliquid I'm not entirely sure that @sub12 was being negative towards me. Tbh I kinda read the comment as sarcasm, which made me chuckle.
Re: Street Fighter V's Mega March Update Is Finally Happening
I still want an arcade mode. Or as I prefer to call it, Street Fighter.
Re: Is This Another Hint We May See Red Dead Redemption 2 on PS4 Soon?

@get2sammyb the weapons were top notch, but the story felt lacking. It just didn't have that spark that the first one did. Plus, naysayers be damned, the multiplayer was pretty fun too.
Re: Pre-Order Your PlayStation VR Headset Right Now
GOT ONE! MERRY XMAS TO ME!
Re: Reaction: PlayStation VR Clears the Price Hurdle Cleanly
@dryrain I'm assuming so, unless I missed something those are the only Move controllers that Sony ever made.
Re: PlayStation VR Launches in October for $399
@get2sammyb what time are you looking to post the impressions? (GMT)
Re: PlayStation VR Can Act as a Screen for All of Your PS4 Games
@finalstan I third this. As a father of many the use of the TV is a valued commodity.
Re: DOOM's Mulitplayer Beta Boost Jumps to PS4 This Month
The demon mode is great. Quick fire rockets × jet pack = grizzled, flesh confetti.
Re: EA Is Making an Absolute Killing from Microtransactions
@ApostateMage +2 points for the Ghostbusters reference.

Re: Feature: A Brief History of Virtual Reality
@themcnoisy I had the shark attack one. Because sharks.
Re: Street Fighter V's PS4 Servers Are Proving Flimsier Than Dhalsim's Limbs
I can't believe this is still problematic. The beta was a shambles, you'd have thought that the experience would have taught them something after all.
Re: Er, There May Be a Knack Sequel in Production for PS4
@get2sammyb agreeing with Sammy on this one. I ploughed through it one weekend whilst I had the flu. It was okay. Like most launch titles it seemed more like a concept demo more than anything else.
