Re: Here's Your First Look at DOOM on PS4

MadchesterManc

I wouldn't mind too much if it ended up like Wolfenstien. That had a decent balance of story with run & gun gameplay. Considering Shadow Warrior is one of the best shooters on Ps4 for me, a straight up run & gun classic wouldn't be a bad idea either

Re: Final Fantasy XV Episode Duscae Is Getting Patched, Director Responds to Numerous Complaints and Promises Fixes

Tabata's response to Cindy being 'too sexy' was pure gold. Just goes to show how ridiculous commentators are in the west.

I've only played a little of the demo. Bought a preowned Type 0 that still had an unused code luckily, but I've been enjoying Type 0 enough to leave the FFXV demo for now. Might just wait for the patch to finish it off as it doesn't seem to play too well from what I've tried so far.

Re: Soapbox: You Should Stop Pre-Ordering Games

MadchesterManc

I'll never understand why people preorder AAA games. Your pretty much guaranteed a copy at launch anyway and the preorder bonuses are usually pitiful.

I think the only time I've ever preordered was for titles like Senran Kagura Burst, as your never guaranteed being able to pick up a copy of a niche game at launch. Most places only order in enough to cover preorders

Re: Soapbox: Sony Really Needs to Give Us More PlayStation Plus Cloud Space

MadchesterManc

I really couldn't care less even tho I had ran into the issue a few months ago. If spending a couple of minutes deleting a few greedy saves from the cloud storage is too much for you, you have issues. 1GB is enough. I'd prefer to have the choice of what to be uploaded like I've always done with important Vita & Ps3 saves, instead of the Ps4 doing all saves automatically. That's the only issue with it really.

Re: Soapbox: We Need More New Game Plus

MadchesterManc

New game plus is a lacklustre incentive to play through a game again. If the game was truly great in the first place, you wouldn't need NG+ to entice you into another playthrough. I think Yakuza 3 is the only game that I've made use of NG+ on to help mop up side quests on a second playthrough. To be honest it's such a good game I would have started a new session even if the plus wasn't there anyway.

Re: Review: Battlefield Hardline (PlayStation 4)

MadchesterManc

The Beta was enough for me to decide not to buy the game yet, I'll be waiting till drops in price. As a long time vet to the series, I found most of the small changes detrimental to the series gameplay. The cops & robbers premise wasn't really enticing either. EA should just get DICE to do another Battlefield 1942 (1943 wasnt too bad) once they've finished with Battlefront.

@Flurpsel It's crazy how the lack of destruction hasn't been pointed out a lot more. I dont even remember there being any at all during the Beta

Re: Soapbox: Has It Just Been a Bad Week for Games, Or Is This Simply a Sign of the Times?

MadchesterManc

I dunno, it sounds a bit like your saying indie games are the saviour of gaming at a few points in the article lol honestly, the rife corruption & generic releases of late don't exactly paint that part of the industry in the same light as when it seemed to emerge on consoles a while back

I think people are just looking into all this too much. People are hired & fired every day, theres redundancies & employment drives all the time in business. Just because it happens at a development studio instead of a KFC doesn't make the situation different
