I've noticed a fair bit of negativity floating around regarding The Order 1886's trailer - that may have leaked a few hours ago. Are people really that surprised it's a cover-based shooter? I mean, even in the announcement trailer at E3 they were firing guns, so why's it such a revelation? Not that I'm making excuses for a tired format but until people play it, let's reserve judgement, eh? At least it's set in an interesting location.
@naruball that's very kind of you to say, but I know my place around here. Without @get2sammyb there'd be no Push Square! I wouldn't dare take his crown
This is an excellent feature idea! Big claps for you, Mr Ramsey
Definitely Batman in this case. I'd like to think that a younger snake might put up a good fight, but when your dealing with a character that has a trait like "Is prepared for every eventuality", then I'm afraid there's no contest.
@Dodoo I've heard horror stories about the Vita edition, but I wouldn't let that put you off the second season. If possible play it on PS3. There are still issues, but they're nowhere near as game-breaking as those found on the handheld version.
DERP's twitter explanation is like catching a child with its hand in cookie jar, but the jar was inexplicably helping to hold up a wall. When they took a cookie the wall fell down and all they had to say for themselves is "That wasn't part of the plan. It was only supposed to be a cookie".
That doesn't make your actions justifiable! You weren't meant to have a cookie for a reason!
I want to be able to group friends and customise the notifications I get from them (I have a number of people on my list that I don't play with at all). So I hope that's something they introduce at some point as well as cleaning a few other things up.

Shame they're windscreen wiping the slate clean of DLC.

@kingandaval 100%. Such a shame.

Re: First Impressions: Turtle Rock Is Transforming Co-Op with Evolve on PS4
Excellent write-up, Ben! I was fortunate enough to have a go at it yesterday and it's incredibly good fun!
My hands were shaking with adrenaline as I ate the last of the hunters and won as the monster. I can't wait to see it when it's finished!
Re: Review: Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc (PlayStation Vita)
This sounds brilliant!

Re: This May Be the Final Fantasy XIII You Always Wanted
This was cool, but I still felt completely baffled by everything that was going on.

Re: Do You Love PS Vita? Sony Has a Slick Promotion for You
Not sure about the titles on offer, but everyone should own a Vita now. EVERYONE.

Re: Review: The Raven: Legacy of a Master Thief (PlayStation 3)
Nice one, Mat! I liked the look of this when they first announced it about a year ago... Shame.
Re: Review: Streetkix Freestyle (PlayStation Portable)
Great review, Marcello! I can't believe this game even exists.
Re: Beyond: Two Souls Leads an Extraordinary Life Over One Million Times
This makes me very happy. Get in there, Dwavid Cwage!
Re: Review: Aabs Animals (PlayStation Network)
Ahhh, so the answer to the age-old question "what is the value of imaginary trophies?" is £3.19... Good to know.
Re: Talking Point: Will Someone Please Frag Online Exclusive Trophies
I despise this. The only multiplayer I endured for a platinum was Assassin's Creed: Revelations. I had a miserable time.
Re: What Has Happened to Lara Croft's Face in PS4 Port Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition?
I'd say the newer one looks like it'd be more at home in the PS3 version. Seems like they've gone back a step in the grafikz department.
Re: Could This Be PlayStation Vita's Sauciest Game Yet?
@get2sammyb we're reviewing this, right?
I'd like to review this.
I don't speak Japanese.

@Splat Unless you're down with me literally parroting the written review back to you over some game footage, we've still got a little way to go first

Colour me thoroughly excited for Borderlands 2 and Gravity Rush 2. SEQUALS, HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

@MadchesterManc @rastamadeus I'm fairly sure EDF provide my electricity.
Re: Game of the Year: Best PlayStation 3 Games of 2013
@RisefromAshes Do you need a hand getting down from your high horse? Only you're ever so high up that you might hurt yourself should you fall.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This... Christmas?
@get2sammyb Firstly, that's outstanding, and secondly you mustn't argue with Mama Barker's Hog knowledge.
Coincidentally, I would watch the hell out of Mama Barker's Hog Knowledge if it were a TV show, maybe a spot on Countryfile beckons?

Re: Review: LEGO Marvel Super Heroes (PlayStation 4)
Nice review, Marcello! So glad to hear they've adopted the open world, free-roamy philosophy again, I loved that about Lego Batman 2.

Re: Minecraft Finds Refuge on the PS3 Prior to Christmas
Fingers crossed for a PS4 version soon...
Re: Review: Just Dance 2014 (PlayStation 4)
Nice review, Nathan, but I think what we all want to see is some footage of you reviewing it.
Re: You Don't Have As Many PSN Trophies As This Guy
@get2sammyb Don't play with me, Barker. I have a diagnosable problem and WILL search for it.
Re: You Don't Have As Many PSN Trophies As This Guy
Just how many region locked releases of Hannah Montana: The Movie: The Game were there?
Re: The Elder Scrolls Online Will Consume Your PS4 in June

Re: Telltale Games Teams with Gearbox for Tales from the Borderlands
Oh hell yes.
Re: What's New on PS4? The Social Feed Has Been Switched Back On
I want to be able to group friends and customise the notifications I get from them (I have a number of people on my list that I don't play with at all). So I hope that's something they introduce at some point as well as cleaning a few other things up.
Re: Review: Worms: Revolution Extreme (PlayStation Network - Vita)
@RyoHazuki If you're a fan of Worms, chances are you'll get something out of it.
Re: Review: flower (PlayStation 4)
Nice review, Nathan! I'll definitely be taking advantage of the free PS4 version
Re: Rockstar Files Trademark for Bully Bullworth Academy: Canis Canem Edit
Unbelievably I never got around to playing this the first time around, so I'm totally onboard with whatever this ends up being!
Re: Review: Tearaway (PlayStation Vita)
YAY! A really good vita game! Cheers, Rab
