@sub12 That i can agree, people seems to be willing only to pay a couple of dollars for a game because iOS and Android butchered price of regular games
Which actually creates an interesting question... Could games be cheaper (and not in the obvious "DUH OF COURSE") ? I would love to know how much do developers/publisher cut from the $60 tag
@sub12 You are overreacting at people not bitching about price back in the day, because they did... You read a lot more because the internet its much more developed nowadays
People did it back in day, people will do it now and they will in the future, because A) People likes to bitch and (more importsntly) B) $60 its quite a bit of money anyway you slice it
@Sevenifity jokes aside, i like my Vita, but... i just dont have a reason to play on it besides the occasional "weird" game.
Im kinda mad that i spent that much money and Sony decide to forgot its existence almost right away, especailly here in the west... indie games are cool and everything but they are in almost every gaming machine possible
I need a BIG reason to play my Vita, Mercenaries was cool but end up being what i feared about it, that FPS games on a handheld are a novelty IMO :/ dont get me wrong, there are good games but they are few and far between and not enough
it bafles me mostly because the WiiU is in the same place but at least Nintendo is doing something about it and releasing games with a decent frequency that even they know they wont work
When 3 indies and 1 unknow game (for most people) is considered a strong line up you are in deep, deep troubles.
Cool and good games no doubt (i certainly know ill enjoy Hotline 2 and already did with Shovel Knight on my WiiU), but i cant believe thats their focus.
On a side note, can you obtain those items by any other way? like TF2 were you could buy hats/weapons but simply by playing the game or crafting you can get your hands on those items too, so it never feels cheap
Not to mention mose of the items are only cosmetical and the new weapons arent neither better or worse than the original ones
If thats so, im kinda ok with it, if not... then this sucks
Nintendo never had a hold on Zero, it wasnt like Bayonetta 2 were all the assests & stuff were funded by Nintendo.
This was a exclusive game because nintendo paid for it, once the deal was off Capcom could port those games... Except that i guess since neither of those games sold well enough (more than 1 millions) to warrant a port they didnt bother... Untill now thats its been 13 years and theres obviously a demand for these kind of games
@AFCC Im still waiting for my PS4 to play Divitiny Original Sin or Wastelands 2 or Starcraft 2 or Vanishing of Ethan Carter or Dragon Commander or the Next Unreal Tournament (PC Exclusive ) or homeland 2 HD or Arma 3 or Civilization 5/BE or Endless Legends
People really think that the money saved here would go to Playstation? Directly to the bank to stop (at least for now) bleeding money, the sell had to be done
While i would do (i have bought a few amiibos), i dont get the same feeling with Sony characters, i love mpst of their games but i dont feel particulary moved by their characters
its a cool game, but it bites A LOT MORE than it can chew, would have liked it a lot more if the studio focused on fewer things i guess, like they said "jack of all trades, master of none"
will wait for a price drop (hoping for a 50% steam sale in a month or 2 ), and i do have a lot to play lately (and even less time now that i changed job and have a normal day (9 to 5) :/
They were lackluster, gameplay was fine (and decent on the 3rd one) and the weapons were cool, but there was so much untapped potential, i mean the story could have been great, but between the uninteresting characters and the cliche plot it was MEH....
I would get a new one, but i still feel they need to get a decent story writer, the world and the setting are interesting enough (A lot better than the boring KZ one, which i dont know why people praise so much :/)
Besides that i have ton of work to do, im trying to finish Shadow of Mordor, BUT mostly playing old school fps, already finished Doom 1&2 and Quake... Now going for Quake 2... Love the good old ID games, masterpieces
Man i really dont agree the typical phrase "old times were better", but lately i feel like a lot of games lack a " heart", too much graphics and not enough soul, there are some exceptions of course
I wonder if Bethesda/Zenimax dropped the Subscription model for consoles too
Got it quite cheap some time ago and played it for about 2 months.
Its not a bad game at all, but it doesnt do anything to stand out from other MMOs (which is its bigger crime) and it only makes you wish you were playeing TES 6 or something like that, and it does feel like Bethesda havent played an MMO since 2003 or something because some of their desing choices are really old school (and not exactly in the good part of the spectrum)
Maybe now that it has a One time fee (on PC at least, just owning the game like GW2 did) and no subscription i will give it another go (thered been a few pstches since)
(While this doesnt really apply here...) I wonder why there arent more companies going Valve's route... The game is COMPLETELY free, you only pay for cosmetic stuff that do not affect the gameplay in any single way (and you can also get by drops)
Im pretty sure if Valve makes a F2P puzzle they would find a way to make it right
Tried and the games lags a bit :/ if they can manage to give me a chance to download the game to my HDD i would be on it (althou i still think its a little over priced )
@professorhat Gods among us was like $4 dollsrs on steam, same with Secret Ponchos which was $7 dollars a month ago, last steam sale i got much better games (mostly because i choose which ones to get) for the same money i spend on PS+ for a year...
Not to mention that in PC, online its free and its miles (infinite) miles better than PS4
If im paying $400 + $50 a year, why am i supposed to be cool with the fact that i cant use the damn thing even if its for a single day, and even if im not using it id like to know that i have the choice too, Sorry but no.
@Gmork___ if im paying $400 + $60 +$X (game) it better work every single day, and if not, i expect a decent reward, this is a joke, especially considering that digital prices tend stay higher way longer
Its a great game, love it (and i dont like open world games that much) ! But it does shows a lack of games in the PS4 IMO, in any other year i dont know if this game would be a top 3 contender
Between This War of Mine (PC), Talos Principle (PC), Grimrock 2 (PC) or Smash 4 (WiiU) is my GOTY, i would say This War of Mine slightly ahead
Not even Top5 IMO, it has pretty graphis, and thats about it, gets boring pretty fast and the quest are BOOOOOOORIIIIIINNG, holy crap even a 5 year old could have better creativity with them
Agree, it sucks to be left in the dark, its been 2-3 days and while almost everyone knows what is going on with this, a little statement could mean a lot. Im pretty sure they dont want to accept they been hacked (attacked) by DDoS, but still
I do want to add that PSN biggest problem is Sony's arrogance :/
Its hard to complain, its a great deal for sure, the quality of the games could be a bit better but again its hard to complain.
I havent use much of the "free" games, because the PS4 ones has been freaking terrible so far (except this few months), but again... Its hard to complain.
Steam sales are better, but in the console market theres nothing like it
On a side note, shouldnt you add the price of the consoles to the sum ??? , i mean... Dont you need to have (pay) for the consoles to use the full benefit of ps+ ?? thats about $700-800 if you dont own any of them
@ShogunRok Much easier its to release a mod-less version of a year old game that goes for about 4 dollars on steam on each sale right ? that almost any PC/laptop of the last 6-7 years could run

Re: Ready at Dawn: Concerns About PS4 Exclusive The Order: 1886 Are Natural
@thedevilsjester As long as the games are good, they will be replayable, there are a lot of short ones that i still play even to this day
Sunset Riders, Captain Comando or Wild Guns to name a few (which are considered highlights of the SNES in some departments)
Sadly, and just from what i saw, i dont think Order 1886 will replicate that
Re: Ready at Dawn: Concerns About PS4 Exclusive The Order: 1886 Are Natural
Risk ? Dont make me laugh...
I never undetstood why nobody copied Dragons Dogma, boss battles were cool and it didnt had a single QTE
I guess people do like QTE :/

@Sevenifity you mean like putting your games on a handheld that has around 5 times its player base !? That its a pretty dumb thing to do...

Re: EA Hints at Huge Positive of Bringing Titanfall 2 to PS4
It was a great game, the action was fast paced, the parkour was super cool and the gunplay felt right... Oh and the titans were amazing.
Its only problem is that it "died" somewhat fast, the population was very good for the first 3-4 months then it slowly began to die
Great that its coming to the ps4, its an amazing game
Re: Round Up: Evolve PS4 Reviews Tread Very, Very Lightly
L4D 1/2 are some of the best multiplayer games, but i just could not get into Evolve.
It felt much more "normal" trying to get to the next safe house than killing the monster all through the map
Will give it a try and wait for its price to drop
Re: Prepare to Die in 1080p at 60FPS with Dark Souls II on PS4

Re: Would You Resist a New Resistance Game on PS4?
They were lackluster, gameplay was fine (and decent on the 3rd one) and the weapons were cool, but there was so much untapped potential, i mean the story could have been great, but between the uninteresting characters and the cliche plot it was MEH....
I would get a new one, but i still feel they need to get a decent story writer, the world and the setting are interesting enough (A lot better than the boring KZ one, which i dont know why people praise so much :/)
