@JoeBlogs Spider-Man is fully paid off, but Red Dead might end up waiting. I've got about $130 on me, but I'm also trying to get an external hard drive, and I'm just not comfortable making another big purchase just yet.
I was gonna preorder this, but unfortunately finances decided to take another route. Will definitely still get this though, and as someone who enjoyed Kiwami I'm glad it's an improvement.
Tira's a popular character from what I know, so making her DLC looks even more like a clown move than it already does. I know fighting games milk DLC like a cow factory but they could at least make it less obvious.
RIP. What makes it sadder is that he's the second person that played Heihachi and died. Daisuke Gori was the previous portrayal and he passed years ago.
To be honest, I've always thought Arkham's combat would work perfectly for a Spider-Man game. I never played Amazing Spider-Man, but what I've seen of the combat in this game looks ace.
Listing my favorite Metal Gear games is always hard for me. It's usually Snake Eater being my personal favorite, with MGS and Sons of Liberty switching out between 2 and 3. It's such a good series that almost any placement works.
Peace Walker is probably the only entry that I'm not super high on. It's good for sure, but it started to wear on me after a while, and while I haven't finished Phantom Pain yet, I'm starting to feel the same about it even with it's slick gameplay.
@adf86 Maybe something they could do is have separate trailers showing different things, one at TGA and another at PSX, maybe have them building off of each other. Wishful thinking yeah, but a good enough compromise I think.
This is really good to hear. Capcom have so many iconic titles it would be terrible if they became too focused on sales, and not enough on quality. They've bounced back well so far.
Don't care about Walking Dead. Glad to see Anna and Lei back, but I gotta admit those designs aren't doing too much for me. Lei looks like a bum PE teacher and Anna just raided Eliza's closet.
You know guys, you coulda invited me to play the game too. I would have gladly paid for a flight to the UK to play this
Anyway, my collector's edition is fully paid off now, so it's just a matter of waiting for September. It's probably gonna be harder than paying that preorder.
I have XenoVerse 2 and I think it's pretty good. I haven't finished it, mainly because I keep flip flopping between games. It reminds me of a simpler Tenkaichi.
I think the western game market has a tendency to get too samey rather frequently. I'm sure plenty of people here remember the mascot platform craze in the '90s, the shooters in the late 00's/early 10's, and now with open world games. Games like Yakuza give us a chance to play something different from our norm, as well as getting a slice of Japanese culture. Experience something different and broaden our horizons.
"Largest Ever Hub" already makes me feel queasy. Nothing against Tomb Raider, I'm just tired of open worlds, pseudo or otherwise. The way TR '13 was structured worked well enough I think.
It's great to see him address it, but bomb threats? Seriously? I'm surprised the press haven't got this and turned it into another "video games are evil" hit piece.
If you're someone who thinks that's justified, do everyone a favor and faff off.
Oh god, just imagine if JJJ knew about Spider-Man games. He'd be like Jack Thompson in comic form.

Re: Soapbox: Sony's in Danger of Becoming Closed Off
I just like to think they're letting the games do the talking. Zero problems on my end.

Re: Gamescom 2018: Tira Joins SoulCalibur VI as First DLC Character, Fans Aren't Too Happy
Ugh. C'mon son.

Re: Gamescom 2018: Devil May Cry 5 Gameplay Is Slick, Super Stylish, and Exactly What We Wanted
It looks like DMC. That is a good thing.
Re: Gamescom 2018: Cyberpunk 2077 Gets New First-Person Screenshots, Certainly Looks Like a PS5 Game
PS5 or not, it looks cool either way.
Re: Gamescom 2018: Shenmue III Continues the Saga on 27th August
I need to find time for Shenmue. I've been getting hype because of the recent news on the ports.
Re: Voice of Tekken's Heihachi and Many More Video Game Characters Unsho Ishizuka Passes Away
RIP. What makes it sadder is that he's the second person that played Heihachi and died. Daisuke Gori was the previous portrayal and he passed years ago.
Major Condolences.
Re: Poll: Are You Hyped for Gamescom 2018?
I'll be keeping an eye on it. There's sure to be a few big things coming out of it.
Re: Electronic Arts Executive Patrick Söderlund to Exit
No clue who he is. Hopefully he ends up somewhere much, much better than EA.
Re: Sony Was the Only Platform Holder to Not Reject Yakuza
I've lived in a world without Kiryu. It's a sad world.
Re: Hands On: How Similar Is Marvel's Spider-Man's Combat to Batman: Arkham?

Re: Red Dead Redemption 2 Gameplay Video Finally Revealed
I may be tired of open world games, but this still manages to excite me. I really can't wait for this.
Re: Persona Dancing Bundle Includes All Three Games in the Series, Launches December
That's a nice package, but yeah, kinda salty it doesn't have a soundtrack included. Probably still get it though.
Re: PlayStation Celebrates 500 Million Console Sales With Limited Edition PS4 Pro
That does look nice. I'll get the controller if I can.
Also nice to see they finally added a 2TB drive. That's long overdue.
Re: Streaming Devices Will Kill Traditional Consoles Within the Next 10 Years, Says EA
No it won't. Not that soon. My Bull Meter is off the charts here.

Re: Spider-Man PS4's Collector's Edition Statue Will Remain Secret 'Cos It's a Spoiler
So, I just spent $120 for something that needs to stay boxed until I've gotten far enough?
That's far from the dumbest thing I've seen, but still pretty silly.
Also, I've apparently fully paid off the CE despite only paying the abforementioned $120. Either I'm lucky or due for shenanigans.
Re: Fallout 76 Beta Is the Full Game, All Progress Will Carry Over to Launch
Basically, Early Access.
Re: Devil May Cry 5 Exists Because Fans Wanted It To
I knew if I rubbed my lamp hard enough, I'd get DMC5.
Seriously, cannot come soon enough.
Re: Red Dead Redemption 2 Posters Have Started Popping Up in the Wild
If they weren't so big, I'd probably snatch one.
Re: Capcom Wants 'Games That Get 9s But Sell Less' Over the Likes of Resident Evil 6
This is really good to hear. Capcom have so many iconic titles it would be terrible if they became too focused on sales, and not enough on quality. They've bounced back well so far.
Re: Tekken 7 Season Pass 2 Announced, Lei Wulong, Anna, and... The Walking Dead?
Don't care about Walking Dead. Glad to see Anna and Lei back, but I gotta admit those designs aren't doing too much for me. Lei looks like a bum PE teacher and Anna just raided Eliza's closet.
Re: A New Guilty Gear Game Is in the Works
Cool stuff. I haven't played Xrd yet, but I've spent a lot of time on ACORE on PS3. Great game.
Re: Hands On: Peter Parker's Gameplay Is a Massive Departure in Marvel's Spider-Man on PS4
It seems interesting, and hopefully it's kept that way so it avoids being a pacebreaker. Can't wait to see how it turns out.
Re: Terry Bogard Is the Latest Fatal Cutie to Join SNK Heroines Tag Team Frenzy
Well, this gives a new meaning to "Busta Wolf".
Re: YouTube Takes Down Official Senran Kagura Livestream Due to Sexual Content
Time to take a break from the internet. Cheers!
Re: Interview: Insomniac Games on Making Marvel's Spider-Man Its Own
Great interview as always, Sammy. I'm looking forward to this game so much, I'm running out of variations for saying I'm looking forward to it.
Re: Hands On: Marvel's Spider-Man on PS4 Is Shaping Up to Be the Best Spider-Man Game Ever
You know guys, you coulda invited me to play the game too. I would have gladly paid for a flight to the UK to play this
Anyway, my collector's edition is fully paid off now, so it's just a matter of waiting for September. It's probably gonna be harder than paying that preorder.
Re: Review: Hello Neighbor (PS4)
This is a game that only really got popular because of YouTube. Doesn't look great to me. Could've been good.
Warm welcome to the new reviewer. Enjoy your stay!
Re: Shadow of the Tomb Raider Trailer Seemingly Uses Music from Uncharted 2
Either an accident or someone has quite a sense of humor.
So how is TR aping Uncharted? By haven't similar music or by having another company's assets?
Re: EyeToy, PSVR Maker Dr Richard Marks Departs for Google
I actually had an EyeToy back in the day. As a kid it was alright, but ultimately I didn't use it too much.
Re: Big Fighting Game Announcements Teased for EVO 2018 This Weekend
#1 for me would be more Tekken 7 content. Anything else is welcome, but my main game really needs some love.
Re: Spider-Man PS4 Has Gone Gold Ahead of September Release Date
I've still got $30 to pay off on my collector's edition preorder. Probably do that tomorrow.
Waiting for September is gonna be tough. I've got this and a concert to go to, so it'll be awesome.
Re: The Dragon Ball XenoVerse Series Has Been a Big Hit for Bandai Namco
I have XenoVerse 2 and I think it's pretty good. I haven't finished it, mainly because I keep flip flopping between games. It reminds me of a simpler Tenkaichi.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Gameplay Could Finally Show at Gamescom 2018
I would love to see some gameplay for this. Everything else about it looks so interesting.
Re: PSN Down as Users Can't Sign In
Just turned it on after resting up after work. I think this is the first time I've been a part of a PSN downtime on PS4.
Re: Quantic Dream Loses Employment Case Amid Photoshop Scandal
This gun bee gud.

Re: Feature: Push Square's Ultimate PlayStation Character Has Been Decided
Yeah, predictable result. But Nate is a good character. Uncharted just wouldn't be as good without him (Well, not unless Chloe's there anyway).
And hey, Snake got 4th overall, which is not bad at all. I'm happy.
Thanks for the tourney @ShogunRok! Haven't had this much fun in a while.
Re: Shadow of the Tomb Raider Showcases the Series' Largest Ever Hub
"Largest Ever Hub" already makes me feel queasy. Nothing against Tomb Raider, I'm just tired of open worlds, pseudo or otherwise. The way TR '13 was structured worked well enough I think.
Re: DLC Review: Sonic Mania's Encore Content Pack Is a Big Plus
Haven't touched Mania since I beat it when it came out. I plan on looking at this but I've got other games first.
Re: Uncharted's Laura Bailey Joins Spider-Man Cast as Mary Jane
Not a bad pick. I'd like to see what she's bringing to MJ.
I honestly remember her best as Persona 4's Rise. Mostly because I can't remember most of her roles other than Chun Li. She's been in tons of stuff.
Re: Sly Cooper Animated Series Starts October 2019
I'll check it out. I just hope they do the cast justice. And that Kevin Miller still voices Sly.
Re: No Man's Sky Creator Sean Murray Finally Addresses Game's Vitriolic Reception
It's great to see him address it, but bomb threats? Seriously? I'm surprised the press haven't got this and turned it into another "video games are evil" hit piece.

Re: Spyro: Reignited Trilogy Will Let You Pick Your Preferred Soundtrack
Cool. The music in Spyro is pretty good. Not bad if you're feeling nostalgic.
Re: The Third Spider-Man Pre-Order Suit Has Been Revealed
So, Spider-Man meets Tron. It looks alright, but not my thing. The Iron Spider suit is growing on me though.
Re: Spider-Man PS4 Pro Bundle Announced
I'm not surprised by the design, but I do like the logo. It just goes well with a lot of stuff.
It's a sweet deal too. If you wanna upgrade or somehow don't have a PS4, this wouldn't be a bad idea.
Re: Monthly Daily Bugle Issues Detail Events Leading Up to Spider-Man PS4
Oh god, just imagine if JJJ knew about Spider-Man games. He'd be like Jack Thompson in comic form.
