EA is trying really hard to get you to dislike them. If prices went up in America, I don't think I would ever buy a game new again. $60 is already pushing it. Thank goodness they don't have any plans to do so.
Should have saw this coming. Would have been better than paying $60 and then an additional $15 for the DLC characters. Oh well, it's still a great game so I don't mind too much.
I'm loving what Sony is doing with the features and download speeds. But I'm a little weary of the cost of the system. Sony kinda sneaked off stage without dropping any hints on a price point back in February... 8 GB of GDDR RAM will take up a significant portion of the total cost. I'm just hoping that won't mean an expensive console for the consumer...
I'd hate for this be like the "Five-hundred and ninety-nine U.S. dollars" ordeal.
Guns have always been part of video games, they have just become increasingly realistic thanks to advances in technology. A good story is nice, but taking out a gameplay mechanic that someone finds fun because it doesn't fit in the narrative doesn't sound like a good idea to me.
I think First Person Shooters are the problem here.
I disagree. They need inFAMOUS at launch. It's up to Sony to have games ready for the first 6 months of the console's lifespan until some E3 announcements. They need to figure out a way to put out some quality content in their initial run so the system doesn't go through a dry period the way the Vita is going through one now. That would be the perfect time to introduce some new IP's or secure some exclusives from the 3rd parties.
They should really come out the gate with first party title after first party title, and then gradually slow it down a bit, keeping a steady flow of games coming out as the PS4 runs the course of it's life cycle. That way, instead of getting a ton of good games late in the life cycle, Sony's teams could work on new games for the following generation and be prepared again.
Also, I think @Epic has a great idea there. A live chat room hosted by the editors would be an awesome way to discuss such a topic. I think a feature like this would really distinguish PushSquare (as well as NLife and PureXBOX too) from the rest of the gaming sites. Everytime an interesting topic came up in gaming news, all the users could be invited for a discussion on a private chat room.
They don't sell that well because the market is already saturated with FPS games. I really think they should give the series a break after these two. Too many games that have come out in this series in such a small amount of time.

Re: DLC Review: Feeling the Heat of El Diablo's Domain in Guacamelee!
I still need to pick up the full game. I tried the demo on a Vita at a Best Buy and it was fantastic.
Re: First Impressions: Brash Is Back in Wolfenstein: The New Order on PS4
@get2sammyb Great example. If only the rest of the industry would follow.
Re: PlayStation Store PLAY 2013 Saves You Money This Summer
DuckTales and Stealth Inc I would love to get.
Re: Ultra Street Fighter IV Throws a Few Fireballs Next Year
Another one? Geez!
And I don't think Hugo's character model is big enough. Like seriously, he takes up half the screen.
Re: First Impressions: Brash Is Back in Wolfenstein: The New Order on PS4
Someone in the genre does need to reinvent the wheel.
Re: Preview: Sending Smoke Signals in inFAMOUS: Second Son, the Hottest Exclusive on PS4
I'm on my second playthrough of inFAMOUS 2, and I'm a little burnt out on the series to be honest...
...but this game looks freaking incredible. First thing I will get for my PS4!
Re: Here's 20 Things That You May Not Know About the PS4
"...about the DualShock 4’s touchpad being rubbed seductively by the cast of Glee. Whoops, did we say that out loud?"
Everything alright over there @get2sammyb?
Re: Sony Needs Soldiers to Aid Its Killzone: Mercenary Beta Effort
If I had a Vita I would definitely grab this. I would get one if the PS4 wasn't out this year.
Re: You May Need to Open Your Wallet Wider for EA's PS4 Games

Re: Could Injustice: Gods Among Us Pummel the PlayStation Vita?
Should have saw this coming. Would have been better than paying $60 and then an additional $15 for the DLC characters. Oh well, it's still a great game so I don't mind too much.
Re: Razer's Boss Cuts PS3 to Shreds, Explains Lack of Support
Don't really care honestly. The only 3rd Party peripheral manufacturer I mess with is Nyko. Otherwise, I buy the official stuff for my systems.
Re: The Last of Us Trots Past 3.4 Million Sales Globally
Bought my copy new aswell. Great to see it selling so well.
Re: You'll Need 8GB of Free Space on Your PS3 to Play Grand Theft Auto V
That will take forever to play... -_-
And why have they waited so long to show gameplay?
Re: Rumour: Sony Originally Wanted To Sell PS4 For $499 With PlayStation Eye
Why are these guys trying to force their spy cameras on us? I really hope Sony wasn't considering this.
Re: E3 2013: inFAMOUS: Second Son Gameplay Footage Flies Like a Bird
2014 is going to be amazing for games. I hope I can get this and a PS4 by the end of next year.
Re: Talking Point: Will You Still Buy the PS4 If It Treats Game Ownership Like the Xbox One?
Hell no. I'd build a PC and stick with Nintendo.
Re: Scorpion Latches onto Injustice: Gods Among Us as DLC
Martian Manhunter at the end! Can't wait to get the DLC.
Re: Call of Duty: Ghosts' New Engine Is Actually, Well, Partially Old
Re: Batman: Arkham Origins Trailer Steps Out of the Shadows
YOU CAN PLAY AS DEATHSTROKE?
I'm throwing my money at the screen. It's not working.
Re: Here's Your First, Blurry Look at the Actual PlayStation 4 Console
@3Above Final Fantasy is not as big as it used to be.
@Sanquine Wasn't that announced already? Like, a couple years ago? -_-
Re: Here's Your First, Blurry Look at the Actual PlayStation 4 Console
@Sanquine No, I was talking about announcements for this year's E3.
Re: Here's Your First, Blurry Look at the Actual PlayStation 4 Console
It doesn't matter what Sony does, Smash Bros. will be formally announced.
No one will top that.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Five
I finished Arkham City.
Re: What Does a Year of PlayStation Plus Look Like?
I could imagine all those games take forever to download...
Re: E3: Sony's E3 2013 Press Conference Scheduled for 10th June
Damn 9 o'clock again!
Re: You'll Be Able to Play the PlayStation 4 at the GameStop Expo
I live on the east coast. No chance of me being there lol
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Four
Probably just some more Injustice.
Re: Malicious Swoops North American PlayStation Plus This Week
@get2sammyb
Does PushSquare have a Malicious review?
Re: Sony: We've Learned Pricing Lessons for PlayStation 4
400USD is the magic number for me. If they can go lower than that's even better.
Re: PlayStation All-Stars Developer Working on a New Intellectual Property
"Strong critical reception" is a bit of a stretch. Besides Playstation fans, there weren't too many people that really cared for it.
Re: Puppeteer Reanimates PS3 in September, Supports PlayStation Move
Realy hope it's good. I want it.
Re: PS4 Developers Didn't Know About the Console's 8GB GDDR5 RAM
@Ginkgo This is GDDR5 RAM for consoles. More expensive than the regular RAM you put into your own PC.
Re: PS4 Developers Didn't Know About the Console's 8GB GDDR5 RAM

Re: Talking Point: Do We Really Need So Much Gunplay in Games?
Guns have always been part of video games, they have just become increasingly realistic thanks to advances in technology. A good story is nice, but taking out a gameplay mechanic that someone finds fun because it doesn't fit in the narrative doesn't sound like a good idea to me.
I think First Person Shooters are the problem here.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Easter Edition
Played Dark Moon all weekend.
Re: Review: Hungry Giraffe (PlayStation Network - Vita)
This looks so weird.
Re: Puppeteer Props Up PlayStation 3 on 10th September
Definitely getting this. Looks fantastic.
Re: Talking Point: Why inFAMOUS: Second Son Shouldn't Be a PS4 Launch Game
I disagree. They need inFAMOUS at launch. It's up to Sony to have games ready for the first 6 months of the console's lifespan until some E3 announcements.

Re: Talking Point: Has the PS4's Lack of Backward Compatibility Affected Your PS3 Purchases?
It's definitely a gripe I have. This console generation has been notorious for short-lived consoles.
Re: Review: Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time (PlayStation 3)
So a game being similar warrants a 6? I thought people liked their sequels?
Re: Review: BIT.TRIP Presents: Runner 2 - Future Legend of Rhythm Alien (PlayStation Network)
I want this! The first game was really fun.
Re: Japanese Sales Charts: Soul Sacrifice Pushes Vita Above 3DS
Price drop plus Soul Sacrifice did the Vita well. Sony just needs a steady flow of games for the Vita to stay consistent in Japan.
Re: PS4 Will 'Out-Power Most PCs for Years to Come', Says Just Cause Developer
Lol of course. Most people don't own gaming machines as a PC.
Re: Pachter Predicts PlayStation 4 Will Get Outsold By Next Xbox
Call me when Pachter gets something right.
Re: Rumour: Could Assassin's Creed: Rising Phoenix Be a New Vita Game?
Wait where does it say it's coming to the Vita?
Re: Talking Point: Is Sony Putting Too Much Faith in the Killzone Franchise?
They don't sell that well because the market is already saturated with FPS games. I really think they should give the series a break after these two. Too many games that have come out in this series in such a small amount of time.
Re: PlayStation All-Stars Fans Campaigning for Crash Bandicoot and Spyro DLC
I personally don't care either. I don't know if this will work. The game hasn't sold to well.
Re: PlayStation Vita Sales Quadruple in Japan Post Price Cut
Hopefully the rest of the world will follow suit. Maybe then I can get a Vita if we can get a steady flow of games and a price drop.
Re: You'll Be Able to Download 100GB Movies to Your PlayStation 4
Oh god, that could take forever to download!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue One
Also going through Fire Emblem: Awakening. Lost my progress and I need to work through it again.
