I gave up on Destiny before the expansions came out but even I'm offended at the Taken King pricing. Expecting people that have already dumped 80 quid on the game to pay another 40 quid when new players can get everything released up to now for the same price, disgusting.

@get2sammyb

Just seen that myself there, pity but I can't complain because it's not the kind of game I'd replay really.

So outdated stereotype that suggests spotty nerds can't be artists? As he seen some of these indie developers on stage at E3? I mean they might not be spotty but they're clearly massive "nerds" (And I say that as a good thing as someone that considers himself a nerd, no insulting here) and despite this shortcoming they're coming out with stuff like Unravel, No Man Sky which is 1000 times more artistic then stuff Michael Bay is coming out with.

I take it that it's not Cross Buy then? I've already played through it once and while it was great I don't think I'd pay to do it again.

They simply need to add more kinds of rewards to get people to pledge more or this won't work.

You can get a lot of money from people "pre-purchasing" the game but the main money in Kickstarter comes from the exclusives usually done pro-bono by friends of the campaign that people pay stupid money for and this seems to be out of them.

I'd half expect a date announcement at the E3 conference if this wasn't a reminder of past failings.

If I do enjoy the PS+ edition I may well pick the game up, it's going cheap enough now anyway.

I remember similar talk last year so I'll believe it when I see it,

@Quorthon
1. I know, hence I mentioned Nintendo earlier
2. The Zelda 3DS games were not done in-house, it was down by the development house Greezo
3. Know the difference between all Nintendo's ports and most other one? Nintendo ports weren't crap.

@Flurpsel It sounded smarter in my head

I've heard many stories similar to this that have been similar if not worse.

There was one notable occasion when a PS4 owner had his credit card cancel a legitimately fraudulent transaction, as you would, only to then have Sony block his account and stop him from accessing anything online (including I assume his digital games) unless he paid them for the game. The game he didn't buy himself anyway/

This is just absolutely stupid, people held liable for acts that credit companies have confirmed has fraud. I'd expect this from the still relatively inexperienced digitally Nintendo more so than Sony who should have a pretty reasonable code of conduct when it comes to fraud because it's a growing problem. Heard on the radio yesterday numbers in 2015 are 30% up on comparable numbers in 2014 so situations like this are only going to become more common

Another reason I'm hesitant to go digital in the end, even if I don't have much choice when it comes to fraud...

@get2sammyb It seems to be common trend with farming game ports to other developers to honest, only Nintendo rigid quality control seems to being able to pull it off consistently (OOT/MM3D, WWHD, DKCR3D, XC3D were all pretty smooth as far as I recall...WIi Okami too although I know Kamiya wasn't fond of it)

Other Ocean Interactive in particular are infamous for releasing Mortal Kombat Arcade Kollection as a buggy mess inferior to emulators so I'm slightly amazed they even got the chance to work on this.

I know it's cheaper to farm development out but I that doesn't mean the publisher should accept a inferior product because the fans sure as hell wouldn't.

To that we'd like to advise that the integrity of the Capcom Pro Tour is a top priority for us and we will continue to work with tournament organisers worldwide to ensure that the highest quality event will be run.

It sounds as if the integrity of the tour is more important than the actual quality of this port was.

I'm afraid I'm not too fussed on this line up either, but that's okay.

This is embarrassing for all involved and rightly so; such a substandard port should never have seen the light of day for whatever reason.

I usually preorder games just so I can have the game turn up on launch day at my house so I can play it for relatively cheap and not have to run out to Asda (the only place in my town that sells games) to get it.

However recently I've begun to only order Nintendo games because Asda won't sell them, too many broken games, too much DLC, too many season passes.

I will go digital when the price is reflective of what it should be, when you can get it for cheaper in a shop after retail/distribution get their cut something just isn't right.

I know it's probably artificially high as to not enrage the retail sector that sell the consoles and it won't go down as long as people keep buying them but I will continue to boycott them on this principle alone.

Saying 7pm EDT is 12pm midnight UK I think that's only in America to ensure everyone can start at the same time.

As for the size considering GTAV's size I thought it'd be bigger in all honesty.

Sooner the better, holding off on a second play through until this comes to PS4

If character prices stay the same from Injustice I won't be too annoyed but it just seems like they're going to be adding in Skins to justify charging more.

I'm okay with charging for them if the cost isn't too bad which remains to be seen. I mean the Injustice characters were what... £4 a pop standard? Could we see £5 for a single character from here on in?

Given the season pass is £24.99 for 4 (and skin packs which lets face it aren't anywhere near as good as extra characters so they're probably only there to make the season pass look like better value) I think the least we can expect to pay for a solo character is a 5er, maybe heaven forbid even £6 or beyond....

I'm fairly certain that number will only increase down the line with additional skin packs and more characters, given Injustice had 6 extra characters I expect more than 4 for MKX by the end of it.

It's the main reason I didn't pick up this game on release, I'm a completionist who needs all the fighters but I'm not paying over the odds for them.

I admit I know absolutely nothing about video game development but I don't think it's possible to "accidentally" downgrade graphics with a patch and then publish the patch itself without realizing it.

Given I remember seeing ads on TV for RE6 almost a year before it was ready for release I can't see this panning out.

Another reason not to buy games at launch for me anyway...

They really want us all to buy Ground Zeroes don't they? It's spent almost as much time discount as it has at full price....

Nothing for me due to my current mission being "No buying new games until I beat my backlog" but there's some good stuff there.

I've no respect for the practice of a Timed Exclusivity be it for DLC or Games whether it works for me (Destiny) or against me (This example).

If you want to have an exclusive game support it from the ground up like Nintendo did Bayonetta 2 or have one of your own first parties make up your own IP.

Since America typically gets their PS+ games on a Tuesday and the first day of April is a Wednesday I take it we'll all be waiting a week?

It looks promising but I doubt I'd ever use it out of fear that the feature will mess up and lose progress

@get2sammyb Given the constant (not an exaggeration) notifications I get when using Remote Play on the Vita I'm inclined to agree (and I only have 100 friends, albeit ones with apparently sketchy internet connections going by how often they go on/offline) but there still needs to be some sort of system in place.

@Get2sammyb On that note, any feedback about friend notifications

"We want PS4 versions of these features, not a cut and paste from last-gen," he told an inquisitive fan. "Stay tuned."

That may be but when it takes this long to implement features that were standard in last gen you can't blame people for getting impatient.

I will admit that digital has it's conveniences but even a few of the horror stories I've heard about people being unable to play their digital games during PSN outages I'm not going anywhere near a digital only future anytime soon.

While I've no problem with the digital only game pricing I refuse to pay over what I pay for physical discs for a digital copy and will only buy a digital version if the discount is substantially cheaper than the retail alternative because quite frankly: I believe the games should be cheaper on the store and the principled part of me refuses to pay the over the physical asking price just for "convenience"

I'm still holding out for physical & a price drop I think but the idea of a mission based merc mode does sound promising, I might go back and finally play the two RE: Games I've never played (2 and CV) to pass time while I wait for this..

I'm not defending the a-holes that did this but I blame the parents in a way too

This kid was 11 years old, they had no place on Destiny to begin with let alone talking to strangers and letting them play with their toys.

@get2sammyb

Oh I completely agree, just until Sony publicly acknowledge the faults of the PSN and make a commitment to ensure a better more stable experience (Outages aside the one thing the last few weeks have shown is it's not consistently stable) for everyone then I won't believe it'll ever be on the cards unless people stop buying PS4s and those of us with PS4's stop subscribing to ps+.

So...no indication of plans to improve the network to keep the current subscribers happy then?

Sigh, can we make a common sense rule where people don't use haters gonna hate as a defense? People never came across well when using it.

@get2sammyb

They're doing nothing wrong, just after going above and beyond at E3 2 years ago they don't seem to be making as much of an effort anymore, as if they've got their sales and they're happy with how things are going...I mean they had a head start and if they wanted to they could have crushed MS with a bit more effort.

Well...this certainly explains some of Sonys decisions if it's true...

@tonyp1987

Personally I wouldn't bother with Killzone and although I haven't played Watch Dogs it might be too similar/inferior to GTA

Not bloody enough considering how you can't walk a few feet without being attacked in that game, it's one of my minor annoyances with the game.

If I have any interest at all in a game I'd read the review.

However if I don't have interest in a game at all I'd glance over the score and the summary and then if I like the sounds of it or I'm curious by how much of a train wreck it sounds like then I would read the review, I think there is a place for review scores but too many people use them as an excuse to compare game X to game Y.

I believe a game should only be compared to it's own potential and try to keep that in mind when looking at a score.

The whole reason I bought this despite beating it 5 times on GC was to tell Capcom "Look! There's a market for this, now go and remake Resident Evil 2"

I don't expect it to work but I'm a big believer in voting with ones wallet

Hmmm, I may get this considering I'm tired to switching between charging cable (I never take it off charger unless I change the PS4 location), USB (for in game music) and Gold Headset receiver. Really seems a mistake I can't use the 3 things at the same time as standard.

I'm very interested in this from a gameplay prospective but I just don't see how the game will sustain the "Tension" and "Gameplay" for a long period of time, I mean Alien Isolation was terrifying for the first 8 hours as well but then it overstayed it's welcome.

Telltale's games work (when they work that is) because you get emotionally attached to the characters, without that I imagine the quicktime sequences and decision making becomes a lot more repetitive.

The DLC sale's not too shabby either Sammy, I'll probably (finally) pick up the Trials Fusion Digital Pass in that anyway so I can (finally) unlock the true game's potential, sick of being unable to access user created content because I don't have a specific map pack.

It's been this price for the last month on and off at various retailers, big sign of the game under-preforming (which I'm happy to see considering how rushed the launch was)

Blast Sammy, I knew there was a 99% chance you were talking about a fan remake from the headline but I still held out hope for a new one from Capcom

I considered dropping 88 quid on a 2 TB before thinking "Maybe I'd be better off just starting to save up for a PC if the PSN is going to keep going down"

I'll be picking up the season pass when it's done or if it's on significant offer between now and then if reviews keep up, as someone that reads 30+ comics a month, watches 10+ tv shows a week and goes to the cinema at least once a week on top of all that I don't like to leave it 6 weeks between 90 minute episodes to ensure the story remains fresh in my memory.

90-120 minutes of entertainment just isn't enough to sustain me for another 6 weeks really.
