Problems I have, they keep showing the same or near identical scenes for gameplay within these there have been a lot of cutscenes QTE's don't help make cutscenes super engaging and people are saying a large majority of the game are just that cutscenes. Another issue is that Ready at Dawn haven't shown anything to dispute the claim plus the recent Beyond podcast just has me worried this game will be a forgettable sub £25 affair at best, sigh.
Dissidia Final Fantasy is up there in my personal favourite games, put 200 plus hours in both and hoped for one on Vita but would take it on any console.
Just I solid minute dedicated too what can only be described a creepy person mini game/extra was just weird, I didn't mind the 3DS game it was a decent beat em up but I don't think I'm on board with this one it just feels too pervy for my tastes.
What matters more to me is what is written and how a reviewer conveys aspects of the game informing readers about what worked and what didn't. The score at the end is really just to further help show how well the things that work come across but normally I've made up my mind before the score when a review is well written i.e. NL and PS.
@Dohv @get2sammyb @Gamer83 A lot of these Sports games could get major updates every 2-3 years and just receive patches every season given they barely change from year to year (not sure about MLB The Show though) even if said patch was DLC for like a tenner. There really isn't a justified reason that we nee a new iteration released each year except money.
@ShogunRok All true I just don't feel the same buzz I got when seeing the first Storm game coming from Clash of Ninja/Ultimate Ninja, though I doubt this will effect my excitement much in the long run anyway.
I'd say no amiibo figures (I don't think the A is ever capitalized) don't do enough currently to justify a purchase with a few exceptions being Captain Falcon, Shulk and Ness (because I love their games and may never get a chance to own a figure again).
Welp can't see myself touching my Vita much till Hotline Miami 2 at this point, honestly just seems like Sony are phasing it out quietly at this point.
@JohnKarnes What are you even ranting about, these are the sales for the whole US stop acting like a fanboy and just accept the fact Xbox one beat the PS4 in sales last month.

Re: Feature: Four Ways Ready at Dawn Could Make a Much Better The Order: 1886 Sequel for PS4
Campaign coop would have been nice, these kinds of games are always more fun with mates.
Re: Review: The Order: 1886 (PlayStation 4)
@get2sammyb Welp my interest just went way down, maybe it should of had multplayer.
Re: Review: The Order: 1886 (PlayStation 4)
@get2sammyb One aspect I noticed lacking in your review was how replayable the game felt/is.
Re: Review: The Order: 1886 (PlayStation 4)
Sounds as if they looking to far ahead instead of making the game stand up well on its own.
@Gemuarto bit harsh.
Re: Ready at Dawn: Some People Will Love The Order: 1886, and Others Will Hate It
Each new info from Ready at Dawn seems to deplete my expectations, they just seem to say all the wrong things.

Re: Ready at Dawn: Concerns About PS4 Exclusive The Order: 1886 Are Natural

Re: Ubisoft Admits Difficulties Developing Assassin's Creed Unity For The PS4

Re: The Order: 1886 Is Just 'Touching the Surface' of the PS4's Power

Re: Rumour: Star Wars: Battlefront Will Span the Series' Entire Saga on PS4
I really don't want this to be a Star Wars battlefield skin and instead am hoping for more of a resemblance to the old battlefront games.
Re: Here's a Reminder That the PlayStation Vita Exists
Lineup is weak for me personally, all I want is Hotline Miami.
@italodance I'm fairly certain Wii U has been out selling the Vita for some time now.
Re: Dragon Quest Heroes Looks Like the Most Colourful Warriors Game Yet
Reminds me a lot of Hyrule Warriors style.
Re: Live: You'll Be Able To See Even More of Dragon Ball Xenoverse In Tonight's Livestream

Re: Talking Point: Do Review Scores Have a Future?

Re: Tekken 7's Opening Cinematic Is Hot Stuff
Devil Kazuya interesting.

Re: Watch Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4's Absolutely Stunning Full Boss Battle Running on PS4
@ShogunRok All true I just don't feel the same buzz I got when seeing the first Storm game coming from Clash of Ninja/Ultimate Ninja, though I doubt this will effect my excitement much in the long run anyway.
Re: Sony Online Entertainment Drops PlayStation Exclusivity as Part of Acquisition
This doesn't seem like much of a lose looking at the big picture.
Re: Watch Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4's Absolutely Stunning Full Boss Battle Running on PS4
Looks great (mostly because artstyle) but I'd hoped visuals would have been stepped up more as it doesn't look significant enough.
Re: Talking Point: Are There Any Remasters You Still Want to See on PS4?
Uncharted I guess not really sure what else.
Re: Fighting Game Champs Duke It Out in PS4 Console Exclusive Street Fighter V

Re: Square Enix Wants Dragon Quest Heroes to Venture onto Western PS4s and PS3s
While you're at it SE localise Rocket Slime 3 as well.
Re: New Just Cause 3 Screenshots Have Already Got Us Hooked
Don't think I've ever actually finished a Just Cause game, I end up just mucking about then moving on.
Re: Talking Point: Would You Buy PlayStation-Themed Amiibo?
I'd say no amiibo figures (I don't think the A is ever capitalized) don't do enough currently to justify a purchase with a few exceptions being Captain Falcon, Shulk and Ness (because I love their games and may never get a chance to own a figure again).

Welp can't see myself touching my Vita much till Hotline Miami 2 at this point, honestly just seems like Sony are phasing it out quietly at this point.
Re: The Order: 1886 Won't Take a Particularly Big Bite into Your PS4's Storage Space
@ShogunRok well people want bang for their buck these days and games aren't cheap either.

Re: Even Sony's Surprised by the PS4's Stunning Sales
Re: Yay! PS4 Passes One Million Units in Japan
@get2sammyb Interesting I wonder what kind of effect games like FF15 will have.
Re: Yay! PS4 Passes One Million Units in Japan
How does it reaching 1 million compare to other 8th gen conles like Wii U, 3DS and Vita?
Re: Feature: Why the PS4 Is Selling So Extraordinarily Well
@get2sammyb Shouldn't "For the Players" and "The Biggest Brands" really just come under marketing?
Re: Why Does Nate Drake Go Treasure Hunting in PS4's Uncharted 4?
Only 3yrs since UC3 so Sully confirmed.
