Re: Gran Turismo Sport May Be in for a Tough Ride

Wow. Consider me surprised and completely unimpressed. My favorite part of racing sims is always just relaxing and coasting through the single-player content. Online additions are great, but usually just icing on the cake for me. I'm a lot more cautious about this entry now.

Re: Classic Courses Return in Everybody's Golf on PS4

Altaria_97

I'm getting a PS4 later this year when a cool color/bundle comes out. Was thinking about getting the gold one but I just got a Switch last month so my gaming plate is already pretty full at the moment, plus I need to save a bit of money.

That aside, I'll definitely pick this up later in the year and I'm glad to see classic courses returning. I loved the throwback course DLC in Mario Golf World Tour. Super hyped!

Re: Here's Your First Look at Need for Speed Payback

So... Need for Speed is essentially the Fast and Furious of the video game realm? I mean it looks like it's focusing on action and corny "we're a family" plot-lines rather than, you know, simple street racing. Also, there are God knows how many games in the franchise at this point.

Re: Need for Speed, Star Wars Battlefront 2 Will Be at EA Play 2017

I'd be down for another Need for Speed, I just want them to design it like the older entries. It's probably nostalgia speaking here, but I absolutely loved Most Wanted and Carbon. I actually didn't play the "reboot" that came out a couple years ago so I'm not sure if that tried to bring it back or not.

Re: Talking Point: Could 2017 Be Gaming's Greatest Ever Year?

Altaria_97

This year is pretty crazy for gaming. This is definitely one of Sony's all-time best years for the PS4 if not every system. Nintendo is looking to have a great year as well with a great lineup of Switch games for the holiday season. Microsoft... well there isn't a lot to look forward to there, sadly. I don't think there is a single XBOX One exclusive I plan on getting this year as of now. I'm pretty sure that will change after E3 or the Scorpio reveal.

And that's not even considering third party games.

Re: Sunset Overdrive Could Grind Again on PS4

Altaria_97

It would be great to see Sunset Overdrive hit the PS4 (and Switch). It was a great game with a great sense of humor... well, I found it funny. Apparently not everyone did. But it's definitely one of my favorite XBOX One exclusive and more people should be able to try it.

Re: This Tale of PS4 Theft Is Particularly Harrowing

Altaria_97

This is messed up. I've had two of my portable systems stolen in car robberies and I can say it's a really crappy thing to go through. But stealing from children with cancer? That's some next level lack of morality.

As everyone else is saying, hopefully Sony will replace it.

Re: Review: Gravity Rush 2 (PS4)

My favorite features of the original game were the different combat system from other adventure games and the varied mission structures. Since those were the only two complaints, I guess I should absolutely love this title.

Re: Review: Shantae: Half-Genie Hero (PS4)

Altaria_97

I've just started to get into indie games and I'm currently playing through Shantae and the Pirates Curse. I'm nearly done it and I have to say it's incredible. Easily one of my all-time favorite sidescrollers.

From what I have heard, it seems Half-Genie Hero isn't as good as the previous entries. I'm not saying I heard it's bad; in fact, I've heard it's quite good... just not quite as good as previous entries. I'm still very excited to pick it up when I finish Pirate's Curse, though.

Re: Review: Batman: Return to Arkham (PS4)

Altaria_97

From all the reviews I have seen, this game collection is essentially two incredible games that have only been moderately updated for next generation. Definitely worth picking up if you never played them or want a physical copy of them, but if you have them on any other platform, there doesn't seem to be a reason to pick this up.
