I'm very happy with this month's selections, as I've been wanting to get DuckTales, inFamous Second Light, The Swapper and Prototype 2 for a while. Thank you, Sony!
@bikeface It's a typical journalistic response and it's incredibly annoying. They make out everything can get no worse, by just showing the bad in a game and not the fact that the game is nowhere near as buggy as games that have come before it.
I've actually stopped reading a lot of Push Square articles about AC as they act like it's the most broken game ever made.
That EyePet Plushy is in Home Bargains a lot for about £1.99. I really want the Playstation jumper, but I can't justify that kind of price. Perhaps it'll go down in price after Christmas and I can put it away for next Christmas.
I'm still really unsure about this game. It looks "off", like it doesn't what it's actually doing. However, I have pre-ordered it, as GAME have messed the price up and currently have this, Kingdom Hearts 3 and The Division listed at £2.00 each. If they honour those prices, sweet!
Oh, I'm well aware of how Ubisoft has been doing things in recent years. I'm also well aware that they haven't fixed things as quickly as they are doing now in the past. Rayman Raving Rabbids released on the 360 with so many broken achievements, and Ubisoft all but said "Meh" to it. They've become EA under a different name, but I'm happy that they're at least doing something for now, and as I said not everybody's experience has been as bad.
What I'm saying is, we're as greedy for games as companies are for money. If we didn't support yearly iterations, Assassin's Creed would never have become one. AC1 and 2 were years apart, and the difference in quality was incredible. We can sit and blame developers all day, but it's a large majority of our community that has allowed this. I love the Assassin's Creed series, so I'm one of the guilty people that have bought it each year.
I've been playing for a good few hours on PS4, and as of yet I've only experienced a few bugs. I couldn't care less about NPCs randomly dropping out of the map or getting stuck in place; that amuses me. I care about mission-stopping bugs like getting stuck on scenery or a character I'm supposed to be following gets stuck behind something. I've had that happen a couple of time, but only to the point that I curse a little and then just restart the checkpoint.
I haven't encountered half of the issues others have, and that's why it's clear to see that not everybody will have the same experience, including Ubisoft. Yes, the game needed more time in development, but they've done nothing but keep the fixes coming, which is better than most. Obviously it's not acceptable, but then consumers are greedy and they expect their games as quick as possible. We only have ourselves to blame, buying in to the yearly iterations of shooters and sports titles. We asked for this, and this is what we get. We bite the hand that feeds, especially as we're always asking for more.
I've disliked CoD since Modern Warfare 2, but Advanced Warfare is a bloody fun game! Sledgehammer should be applauded for injecting some much needed life in to the series again. Still isn't as good as CoD4, but it's one of the best in the series.
I was looking forward to this game, but I won't support a broken product. Evolution had almost a year longer to get this game working, and yet they've released a slap in the face to the consumer. Anyone that is supporting this are just allowing this kind of crap in the games industry. A consumer's biggest weapon is their purse/wallet, and developer's will get a product in ship-shape very quickly if you withhold a sale from them. Stop buying a product in the hopes it'll get fixed!
Nice additions! However, I was hoping for support for an external drive to be used in conjunction with the internal drive, USB video playback, trophies that didn't need to sync every single time, and full customisation of the dashboard.
@BLPs You can't really be annoyed at it. Lots of things are made for particular audiences. I don't get upset because a film for for homosexuals isn't intended for me. You have plenty of other material that's more up your street.
OT: Let's see how quickly the internet hate machine and the extreme feminists jump on this to attack it, just like they did with the 3DS game.
I already bought it when it first came out, as the Destiny bundle. It looks very nice in my black TV stand, with a white Wii U, a white Wii, and in just a couple of weeks will also include a white Xbox One. I've always preferred white consoles and handhelds, and have never been a fan of black consoles. TVs though must be black, I can't stand any other colour.
Such a shame to see that the majority of the writers like an unfinished game more than a well-designed complete game. I stopped supporting Destiny, and sold it right after I realised it was just a snore-fest, that has had the vast majority of it's content held back to bleed more money out of people. Yes, it looks pretty, but the game is barren. It's lazy, and partakes in underhanded activities, and for that it's completely undeserving of GotM.
The game has also made me lose a lot of respect for Bungie, who I always thought were a developer that had the fans in mind, and didn't think of them as just another sale. Instead, they jumped in to bed with Activision, and gave a game that is just a product for the consumer above all. If EA put something like this out, the industry would call them out and attack them viciously, but because it's Bungie, people are blindly loyal to it.
There are moments of fun in the game, and it can be enjoyable to play, but we're just allowing these tactics in the industry, letting developers hold back content deliberately, and allowing them to make false promises they have no intention of keeping. Peter Molyneux got slammed for constantly lying about the Fable franchise, and it's affected the game in the public eye. But Destiny carries on sailing past on its ship of gold.
Well, I wasn't expecting it to race away with the Gold, but I was at least expecting a Silver. Looks like it was hit by a Blue Shell so close to the finish.
Eh, at least I can try the PS+ version and solidify my own decision.
@Munkyknuts It's been delayed at least once already, which makes this even more of a kick in the teeth. They delay everything, but nothing seems to be improved when it comes out. I swear they only delay them so they get more opportunity to make inane promises they have no intention of keeping, just to build up a little more hype and hopefully increase day one sales. They don't seem to work on the game in the meantime, though.
Built from the ground up for next-gen consoles? Lies. If that's the case, why isn't it running at 1080p and 60fps?
Ubisoft aren't interested in making a game the best it can be, they are only interested in using the easiest route possible, to make the biggest profit. They've had ample opportunity to push this game to the limit, but instead they've taken a back seat and counted the pre-orders.
I don't despise Ubisoft, and I very much enjoy their games but the quality of them has drastically dropped over the last couple of years. AC IV was another cop-out, as the game was clearly downgraded on the PS3 and 360 so that the next-gen version looked better, when in actuality it looked like the last-gen games should have looked, and wasn't much of an improvement over AC III. Watch Dogs was the same.
There should be absolutely no reason that both consoles can't run games in 1080p and at 60fps, none at all. 2015 is the year that I'm sure most will prove that, but all developers are doing right now is damaging the systems by making them look incredibly inferior. PC is evolving all of the time, so it's unfair to make the comparison, but we certainly shouldn't be so far behind.
This is unsurprising but no less frustrating. The Xbox One is a good console, and can output some serious power, especially when exclusives are created for it, but the PS4 is factually the more powerful console, and should not be held back to keep things fair. The fact of the matter is, you buy your console to use it to the best of its abilities and it's completely disrespectful to both the consumer and to Sony to not utilise the tools you have in front of you.
I chose the PS4 as my primary console because I wanted to play next-gen games the way they are meant to be played. Like I said the Xbox One is no slouch, but until developers learn how to design for it better, it's going to show a difference between the two consoles. The SEGA Megadrive and the SNES had a similar issue, as did the Xbox, PS2 and GameCube. A Ferarri is not designed to be comparable to a Nissan Micra, is it?
It's a P.T that there's no blood in Minecraft. The freaky fridge or whatever it was suspended in the air, blood pouring out of it, compete with a screaming child would be awesome to see in the game.
I'll be picking up everything, though I'll probably not play Arkham Asylum again. I have the 1000G on the Xbox 360 and PC, and left it with one achievement away on the other 360 version. However, it's a Platinum that I could add to my card if I wanted to. Looking forward to trying out DriveClub and I've been wanting to get Spelunky for ages! The rest are a bonus.
Though others may complain about too many so-called "indie" titles in the line-ups, I'm happy about that as I don't like to pay too much for them, and free is a price I can get on board with. For me, I welcome more indie titles. That's why I haven't bought Valiant Hearts or Child of Light (I know they aren't indie titles in the traditional sense, being released by Ubisoft, but they are indie-esque) in the sales, as I believe they'll be in the line-up pretty soon.
@Midzark I pay for PSN and work a full-time job, and I know service down-time is frustrating, but I'm not ignorant to the fact that this is a part of online connectivity. The DDoS attack was not Sony's fault either, and no matter how secure a service may be, someone will send enough data to take it down. Yet, people blame them for it and then become armchair generals telling them what they should do.
They know the score, and regardless of what other's believe I'm sure you'll be able to get many hours in on Destiny, even if there are a few hiccups.
BTW, I'm an Xbox 360 owner as well, so I must disagree with your comment. Xbox LIVE has had MANY issues in the past. Countless times have we had to spend time offline.
Stop worrying so much. It'll get sorted, but this stuff always happens. Servers aren't entirely reliable and like everything that uses the internet, is prone to failing.
There will almost certainly be issues when Destiny launches but it won't be the end of the world.
@Jazzer94 Does it matter? People can enjoy it however they want, and as the console versions sell by a bucket load, it's plain to see that mods aren't needed to make it fun.
I'll give Velocity 2X a try as it looks quite interesting. Of course, I'll DL the rest but I highly doubt I'll give them much thought. No matter, as I'll be playing Metro Redux for much of next month.
@odd69 Because there can't be multiple games with a similar setting, right? This is a FPS while Fallout is an RPG, completely different to Metro. This cannot be called a rip-off when the only similarities are that they are both set in a post apocalyptic world.
I'm sorry, but are these seriously the animations they have right now? If you've gone as far as to really highlight the graphics of the game, work on the animations just as much. It's not Resident Evil 1 for Jill's sake!
However, I have confidence they'll rectify that before release. If you're going for something nice, don't skimp on the details. Though (and I know this is to be expected as it was a Move title initially, but a criticism is a criticism), I'm not a fan of constantly wafting the controller around like a dog ripping up a child's favourite teddy bear to make decisions that only need a button press. I would prefer them to tone that done, if at all possible.
Well, PushSquare's comments section has gotten in to a very comparable state to IGN and GameSpot as of late. Too much hostility over trivial things.
The PS+ offerings are not the greatest on the PS4 just yet, but the console has been out less than a year. They aren't going to stick a AAA title on there for free just yet. They'll wait until they have a much bigger catalogue of them first. The PS3 didn't launch with PS+; it was launched when the PS3 had plenty of older AAA titles to pull from. The PS Vita didn't get all the good stuff straight away, and the few good titles that did pop up early on were because the system was performing in sales expectations. You have to realise that the PS4 isn't relying on PS+ as much as Sony's previous consoles so the offerings aren't going to be as good just yet. Listen to that last word; yet. The games will come, just be patient.
Think of the Xbox gamers that were getting games like Gears of War for free until recently. The game can be bought for less than £2. We're still getting bloody good value for a subscription that covers 3 consoles of free games. If you're coming to talk PS+, please leave your feelings of entitlement along with your coat at the door.
EDIT: As a user above mentioned about only having a PS4, you're still not getting the soiled end of the stick. The subscription is mandatory for playing online (which Microsoft has been doing for over 8 years now, and only starting giving decent stuff for free since Sony's success with it), which a lot of you will be doing. It's £40 (in fact, it's less if you take 2 minutes to look online) for a year, which is about 77p a week to play online on any game that allows online play. Many of you will play Call of Duty or Battlefield online every week, so you're getting your money's worth regardless of the PS+ free games. Your arguments towards lackluster offers is a hard one to defend in all honesty, though I'm certain you will try.
I'm happy to see Fez on this list. I bought it for 69p on the 360, and really didn't want to pay out more to get it again, so I'm perfectly fine with it being free. Regardless of the kind of person Phil Fish is, the game is pretty nice.
@get2sammyb I think my cynicism comes from the fact that this is literally all we really have to look forward to right now, with another re-release in GTA V later in the year. I have nothing against the games as they are fantastic, but I feel that we could have more right now. I do feel that this generation was supposed to start later this year, not last year.

Re: Feature: What Are August 2014's Free PlayStation Plus Games?
Well, PushSquare's comments section has gotten in to a very comparable state to IGN and GameSpot as of late. Too much hostility over trivial things.
The PS+ offerings are not the greatest on the PS4 just yet, but the console has been out less than a year. They aren't going to stick a AAA title on there for free just yet. They'll wait until they have a much bigger catalogue of them first. The PS3 didn't launch with PS+; it was launched when the PS3 had plenty of older AAA titles to pull from. The PS Vita didn't get all the good stuff straight away, and the few good titles that did pop up early on were because the system was performing in sales expectations. You have to realise that the PS4 isn't relying on PS+ as much as Sony's previous consoles so the offerings aren't going to be as good just yet. Listen to that last word; yet. The games will come, just be patient.
Think of the Xbox gamers that were getting games like Gears of War for free until recently. The game can be bought for less than £2. We're still getting bloody good value for a subscription that covers 3 consoles of free games. If you're coming to talk PS+, please leave your feelings of entitlement along with your coat at the door.
EDIT: As a user above mentioned about only having a PS4, you're still not getting the soiled end of the stick. The subscription is mandatory for playing online (which Microsoft has been doing for over 8 years now, and only starting giving decent stuff for free since Sony's success with it), which a lot of you will be doing. It's £40 (in fact, it's less if you take 2 minutes to look online) for a year, which is about 77p a week to play online on any game that allows online play. Many of you will play Call of Duty or Battlefield online every week, so you're getting your money's worth regardless of the PS+ free games. Your arguments towards lackluster offers is a hard one to defend in all honesty, though I'm certain you will try.

I'm happy to see Fez on this list. I bought it for 69p on the 360, and really didn't want to pay out more to get it again, so I'm perfectly fine with it being free. Regardless of the kind of person Phil Fish is, the game is pretty nice.
Re: The Last of Us Remastered Will Replenish PS4's Stamina with More Add-Ons
@get2sammyb I think my cynicism comes from the fact that this is literally all we really have to look forward to right now, with another re-release in GTA V later in the year. I have nothing against the games as they are fantastic, but I feel that we could have more right now. I do feel that this generation was supposed to start later this year, not last year.
