This guy is awesome! I've just picked the game up, finally (I found a mint condition Nightmare edition, which I had been looking for for months) and it's kicking my arse. I haven't played a Souls game since I got the Platinum on Demon's Souls, and haven't put much time in to Dark Souls 1 & 2, so I'm really rusty. Loving the game though!
It'll need to be available in white before I even consider it. However, this shouldn't be down to a 3rd party company to make, Sony should just allow external drives to be used. It's absolutely pathetic that it's not an option, and 500GB is a laughably small number. Ridiculous.
@BAMozzy - Too many people are ignorant to this kind of stuff. All I hear is that the consoles are underpowered, but it's not true. As time goes on, developers get more comfortable with the technology, more potential is unlocked through usage of the devices in different ways we'll certainly see games that completely blow us away. The consoles aren't underpowered, they're just getting started.
I'm guessing that everyone that bought The Witcher 3 were so infatuated by all the NPCs talkin' loike a farrmar, that they decided they needed to buy that there Farming Simulateer as a show of respect.
Can't wait to play this game. I'm waiting for the whole season to be available before diving in, so I can binge-play it like I did with The Walking Dead, and will be doing with Game of Thrones.
@Aslanmagic Splatoon has been a very difficult decision for me. When they announced it, I got really excited about a new Nintendo IP, and thought it looked like a lot of fun, so I pre-ordered it as soon as I could. I've just cancelled my order, after thinking about it for quite some time, and deciding that as I don't have any friends with a Wii U, I wouldn't get a quarter of the enjoyment from it, and I'm not really a multiplayer gamer anyway.
@BAMozzy Thank you for the link to that channel! I've just spent most of my afternoon watching through his reviews, and his 25 Games For My Son videos. Very entertaining!
Only a couple of days to go! However, I'm about as confident in GAME's ability to deliver on time as I am that we'll ever get a new Clock Tower game (I loved that series!), especially after they canceled my CE order the first time. I'm expecting to pay the game sometime next Thursday.
I'm still annoyed that the X1 got exclusive physical content though, even if it's not fantastic stuff, it still sucks I had to pay full price for what is effectively a lesser CE.
I'll have to check .hack out as I do like SAO and I'm not ashamed to admit it, just because anime elitists have a big vendetta against it (I don't know about here, but it was despised on another forum I was on). As for Morpheus itself, I have zero interest and think it's a waste of resources. While the gimmick sounds cool, it's nothing more than that, a gimmick. I'll happily sit in front of a TV for hours and play, but VR would only hold my interest for 20 minutes at a time.
@mitcHELLspawn I was talking to everyone that constantly makes these comparisons and has to shove down everyone's throats that PC gaming is better. I know the PS4 isn't the best platform, as the PC is better. In fact, it annoys me that the next-gen isn't really a step up from last-gen, but the internet is so annoying with it's constant PC master race talk.
Yeah, yeah, the gaming PC debate really is getting old. I've almost built my PC but I won't be banging on about playing games on it, because only you yourself really cares. It's a PS site, stop trying to sour everything with the "PC is better" spiel. Of course it will run better on a PC, I'd be shocked if it didn't, this article is about how it runs on the PS4. I'm happy to hear that it's a decent runner, as I was starting to get concerned that there were going to be some major problems.
The frame rate issues are disappointing, but seem to be an isolated case, in regards to how bad they had it. I don't know which version they were playing, but hopefully it wasn't the PS4 copy.
I really struggle to find virtual reality interesting. I'm more than contempt with sitting on my couch playing a game with a controller in my hand. Too much emphasis is being put on virtual reality headsets these days, and it's just going to be years of crappy prototype games getting used to it that the gaming world could end up sucking for a while. This kind of evolution isn't necessary, in my opinion.
The Escapists is great on the PC, but I do agree that it's a perfect fit for a handheld. It's a shame that because there's not much money to be made on the Vita anymore that games like this are going to skip it. As long as Japan doesn't forget about it.
Point 2 is deliberately misleading. You say only confirmed for PS4, but then say PS4 and other current gen formats, therefore you try to mislead people in to thinking it's an exclusive, regardless if you only mean that it doesn't have a last gen port.
The last game wasn't bad, compared to the crap fest the last few have been, so I'll be keeping an eye on this.
Part of me thinks he tries way too hard to be "one of us", and that makes me throw up in my mouth a little. Another part of me thinks he is genuinely a nice guy that likes to keep the peace, and is above petty squabbles. I like to keep that part buried under a mountain of cynicism.
I hope with the new accessibility options, I could switch X and O around as confirm and cancel. Reason being is I'm planning on buying a white Vita from Japan, and O is confirm.
While it's disappointing to hear the game has been delayed, it works in my favour. ComicCon is in May, and it'll be an expensive trip for me with all the merchandise begging to be bought. Batman will now come out after the following pay day, so I can spend even more at ComicCon!
Did you see the new gameplay trailer?! Fantastic stuff! It's very familiar, with the UI and counter icons, but the game looks so different in comparison to the other titles. I'm going to be so excited when I get my hands on it!
Oddworld is awesome! I already have it, but I'm glad more people are going to get to try it out! I'm very happy to see Valiant, as I've been holding off buying it because it looked like a perfect candidate for PS+. OlliOlli2 is a welcome addition, and though I won't bother downloading Sherlock (great game, but I finished it on Xbox One), it's well worth a try if you like mystery games.
Done it for you guys. I'm actually a fan of optional subscriptions to a site, as I've done it for Xbox Achievements and True Achievements in the past. I like the idea of offering my help in keeping the site running through a monetary solution, and that I'm never forced to do so if I can't afford it, but can still view the content on the site.
Collectors are going to be praying that most of the copies get handed back, as an uncut AUS version will become a rarity. I suppose it already is, as it was just the first print.
Kind of reminds me of the Resident Evil Revelations muck-up from a few years ago.
I loved this game, and I really hope it comes to PS4. The second half of the game was a lot weaker than the first half, and almost feels like 2 games spliced together, but it's a very enjoyable game. I'd say it was better than Heavy Rain and Beyond, but they're all awesome!
I think Ellie was made in to a gay character just because of how much being gay mattered in 2013/14. I have gay friends and they don't feel that they need to go around shouting about how they are gay, but people in the media/gaming/celebrities have decided that it should be focused on. If you're gay, you're gay, it's absolutely fine, but it needn't be something that is made a big deal of. I agree with BLP; Ellie's sexuality should not make her as popular as she apparently is, and as TooGood said, it certainly should not have been the main aspect of her character that they singled out.
Would this GLAAD have even cared an ounce for Ellie is she wasn't gay? No, I doubt they would.
"Most Famous Characters in Gaming" and "most famous gay character" are not the same. Ellie is very popular, but to the level of Link, Mario, Pac-man, Sonic, etc? Not even close.
I was going to buy Resident Evil, but then I thought that would probably go down in price at some point, plus I fancy playing the Gamecube version for nostalgic purposes first. Then I thought I would pick up GoT and TFtB, but then realised that ALL Telltale games go down in price drastically, so I just bought the Bioshock Infinite DLC. I was going to get them anyway, but I saved 83p.
Stop moaning (those of you that are). Sony doesn't need to apologise for anything. A DDoS attack is something that can't really be countered, and if people are determined enough they can just keep hitting them with it. The network was down, and it sucked, but look for an apology off the people responsible for the attack, not the victims of it. Sony were just as much a victim as we were, more so in fact, as they had to get back to work on Christmas to try and sort it out, while we were crying about not being able to play games.
Take the 10% and use it, or don't. Don't just sit there complaining like you're owed something, because you're not. When did the gaming community become so entitled? You pay for a year of PS+? So do I. Do I use my PS4 every single day? I wish I did, but I don't. Should Sony give me extra days for when I'm at work, or when I'm too tired in the evening to even look at my consoles? Hell no. They gave a few extra days for the issue, but again it wasn't something they absolutely had to do.
If you want to comment, how about just saying thank you? It's not hard to do.
@ToOGoodOfAPlaya I have the exact same feeling. I've not been able to get excited for this at all, after Dead Island. I quite liked the first one for a while, but Riptide was a mess and a The Cartel was a waste of everyone's time.
