I've decided to concentrate on my backlog for now. I've got stuff I've not even played yet, so I've been steadily hacking away at that for the last couple of months. It's saved me a fair bit of cash as well!
I'll probably pick up Spiderman at some point but not on release, and I'm waiting to see if RDR2 is crippled by extraneous gouging before dropping the cash on it. Apart from that, nothing coming along that I'm particularly excited about.
Yeah I'm not bothering with it anyway. Soon as I saw it was another samurai game I was immediately turned off. I got halfway through nioh and couldn't be bothered, I know it's good and all but the aesthetic just leaves me cold tbh.
I'll definitely pick this up. Two hours is definitely doable for me, and it's good to see a title that takes this seriously while remaining informative. The representation of Iran in the west is terrible, they're a good people and don't deserve the image portrayed here. A fascinating country with a rich culture and history.
@MysticMask wow. You really are a bit far gone aren't you? What's sad and pathetic is policing the internet for people who disagree about a 7/10 game that you like. That's pretty sad and pathetic, son.
My original comment ending in "fight me" was done mostly in jest, but seeing as you immediately became a whiny little weeb about it I continued the conversation for my amusement. I stayed relatively tame and didn't get personal until you started getting upset that I don't like Gravity Rush. Read that again. You. Got. Upset. Because. Someone. On. The. Internet. Doesnt. Like. Your. Little. Cartoon. Crush.
Now who looks sad and pathetic here? Cuz it ain't me, kiddo.
Now I could go on, but this site is heavily moderated and I don't want to be responsible for you being any more upset than you clearly are. I will say that this is my final comment on the matter, and that you really need to consider where your priorities lie.
That's a really good month. Something for everyone, a decent AAA title I don't own, a VR title I'll throw in the library now that I can actually get VR, and a decent party game. Good times!
@MysticMask if I'm completely honest I was just enjoying seeing how wound up you were getting. Crying into your Hatsune Miku body pillow because some dude on the internet thought Gravity Rush was average, but, you know. Keep getting wound up and all... It's pretty funny.
I'm sorry I don't have much to add to the air conditioning debate, but the NEXT patch is a lot of fun so far. I've played a few hours and I'm really enjoying it. NMS always did have a unique atmosphere, very calming. I've always liked that about it.
@MysticMask 1. Comparing Horizon to Gravity rush? One of the greatest games this gen compared to a B title, at best? Surely you'd choose a better hill to die on. There are so many factors in there that it's not even a contest. 2. I liked Aloy. I liked her character arc, the acting, the design... Spot on. She was like a cave girl Nathan Drake. Kat was "anime slapper. Falls over a bit". 3. She moved into a sewer and got a cat, then some other stuff happened and I got bored. 4. A small fanbase that isn't above rigging votes, apparently. She's about the same level as the guy from Vanquish, only Vanquish was good.
@Th3solution if they don't market this exactly right and release it at exactly the right time, mark my words: this will bomb. I don't want it to, and it's a tremendous idea, but this is a gamble.
It's all well and good us being excited on here, but is your average PS4 owner going to go for it? I really don't think so.
Wonderbook 2 here is going to have a tough time......
@MysticMask nope. If anyone have a toss about Gravity Rush then it wouldn't have bombed. Twice. Three times if you count the remaster. I played the first one for a few hours on vita, and found it lacked any kind of hook whatsoever.
There's a small fanbase, yeah, but hardly anything that should be scraping any kind of top ten.
Gravity rush failed because it's not a good game and it's not an interesting story. Kat is a bland character and should never have been near the top ten.
I did notice this had been patched before so I had a go at playing online. Not perfect but a lot better now. Really though, they need to fix the online multiplayer asap.
Imagine if this comes out in about 6 years' time. It's a ps5 title, and it makes a mid gen graphical and technical leap equal to the PS4 GOW. Imagine how incredible that would be.
Excited doesn't cover it. Honestly the PS4 version is easily my favourite game this gen. It even beats Bloodborne.
@Knuckles-Fajita yeah I know that. Thing is who's to say that they didn't trade in and pick it up new on offer for 20 quid? Last I saw the vultures were charging near full whack for it pre-owned.
Most of the people playing GTA online are kids. Kids don't have a lot of money as they have no jobs. Kids trade in games (like GTA), then buy the same ones they traded in (GTA), again.
I got fans, I got cold beer, and I got me the mega drive collection. Currently enjoying streets of rage, sonic 2 and Gain Ground- which I'd written off for over a decade as "a bit Ertha Kitt" but is actually ace once you get the feel for it. Apart from that I'm playing nioh and getting free pizza from the best pizza place I've ever heard of. Seriously. I gave them a five star review and they were so happy they gave me free pizza. Not even kidding, this is one of the best weekends of my life.
@playstation1995 well yeah I know how great old skool hip hop is. I'm old myself! I do think some contemporary stuff is great though. Still, you like what you like, nothing wrong with that. Word up son!
Honestly I've nothing against drake. It makes nice background music but not something I'd go out the way to listen to. It's a shame that modern hip hop is being written off as mumble rap and needless boasting about wealth when there's a great deal of good stuff out there which is definitely worth your time. Nas just released a new record, Schoolboy Q is making catchy tunes, Kendrick Lamar is pretty much the emperor of hip hop right now, I mean even Ye has some really good tunes on it. Kanye West might be a nugget, but at least he's unpredictable. hip hop in general has become a lot more interesting in the last few years while rock music has become stagnant. I say that as someone who was a hardcore metalhead for decades.
Absolver looks ok but I don't think I'll have time for it. Heavy rain can do one, utter garbage. The rest of it looks atrocious as well. This isn't a good month at all.
@FATPC they're both really good choices. I bought Nioh a week ago, it's great. Dying Light I'd play if it was on plus but apart from that I'm a bit wary.
I'd personally like to see a Yakuza game on there. I'd like to try one.
Resident Evil 7, which I'm enjoying immensely, and I picked up Nioh which is winning me over as well. I'm toying with buying psvr but need to try it first.
This game looks like a total dog, just like the previous entry in the "series". There's a reason nobody bought it, and it seems that Unisoft never learn. They gave it away on plus and nobody bothered with it FFS.

Re: Feature: Push Square's Ultimate PlayStation Character Has Been Decided

I mean, what do you want me to say? You've got your opinion. Apparently most people don't share it, otherwise you'd all be playing the sequel online.

That's my theory on GTA still selling anyway.
