Is it JUST Sony? Quick look shows physical copies of Monster Hunter World aren't being sold for either PS4 or Xbone right now. I would look for an Xbone exclusive game.. but.. well you know...

Black Ops was really the only line that I enjoyed the campaign. That said, it probably makes sense to just cut single player from COD and sell a finished MP title instead.

Ohh babe edition! Jill Valentine, 2B, Lara Croft, and Raiden

@WanderingBullet Dang that's hella unlucky. I'm in the 110s and already have 2 or 3 weapons of most types with Hero stone augs. Granted, I got most of them from the tempered pickle event that is going away

@WanderingBullet but not before getting a bunch more unrelated ones! I think I'm up to like 8 streamstones for bowguns.. the only weapon I don't use.

Woah! this came out of nowhere! How exciting! My doot is ready.

@playstation1995 Maybe we'll see it released on both. I still don't have a lot of confidence that we'll see Days Gone in early 2019.

At this point, I'm more interested in the launch titles. What could they possibly have hidden away for a PS5 release? I could see Days Gone getting pushed to PS5 since it will almost certainly be a generational CPU leap allowing for better zombie physics.

I've always been very interested in these games, but never found the combat to be 'fun'. Judging from the demo, combat seems to be fairly minor compared to the story/world. Is that accurate in the full game?

Also, does the game actually support the Pro or is it just utilizing 'boost mode' to help framerate? The demo had some super nasty jaggies, so I'm hoping the full version offers some sort of 4k mode?

It's obviously Bioshock for Vita guys.

Neat. It's the only VR game I have on my radar though

It's a fairly diverse list of games for different types of gamers. I don't really see it as an issue outside of scheduling reviews.

I still just hope it uses the same VR headset. I'm coming off my PSVR high and starting to regret it a bit.

I would like to also see bumper buttons on the back of the new controller. Otherwise, the DS4 is pretty much perfect (obviously it's battery isn't though).

Ghost Recon. It's 4k image isn't that great, but the implementation of HDR is rather good.

@Flopsy I'm convinced they just have the option to turn on/off the signal, but they don't do anything to process the image any differently.

Sadly, I don't see them ever making this a priority. The engine is an older engine that probably wasn't designed to account for true HDR visuals. I can't imagine they'd put effort into what only affects a very small % of their player base.

@dryrain I've heard it's HELLA pay to win once you get to endgame.

It's great seeing more and more MMOs hitting PS4, but dang did FFXIV spoil me...

@Bliquid This could also explain the lack of any real graphical improvement on the other consoles. Considering the Switch version is struggling with last gen graphics at 720p, if they pushed the other two consoles harder, the Switch version probably wouldn't even be possible (if they were going for cheap/easy port)

I wish I enjoyed this game as much as everyone else, but there was just about about the Dark Souls series I never loved like I did Demon's and Bloodborne. 60 FPS will be a HUGE improvement for fans of the original though. I'm not a framerate snob at all, but when precision controls are involved, there's no substitute.

I have never ever played a Yakuza game.. but I think I'll get this one to see what the hype is all about. It should be up my ally.

Awesome update. VR Time trials alone is huge.

Anyone saying he's too easy... don't forget he's just a high rank monster still. ALL high rank monsters are 'easy' and always have been 'easy' for vets.

His armor set is fairly decent with such high handicraft. His weapons are hit/miss. They would be a lot more 'viable' if the Diablos weapons with non-elemental deco weren't so OP. With augs, some of them have the potential to be very powerful.

Maybe he just means they won't get a share of the PROFITS? Maybe they just banked on him with the idea that he'll make more quality games down the line and stick with EA.

Otherwise.. ya.. it seems a little weird they'd just pay all this money to publish a game without at least making their money back?

The Genesis Collection was my first platinum trophy on PS3.

This would still have to be fairly cheap for me to be interested though. Raspberry Pi (or even cell phone) and all.....

I can't wait to see what all the hype is about for picklejo.

Bow nerf I only use it on bagels, but I'll miss the snap dragon piercer.

Honestly, I expected more nerfs than buffs. The game is already on the way easier side for a MH game imo. I know HR was never that hard, but I'm dying for a meaningful challenge/G rank here.

If they would just fix the scaling in both their recent games... they'd be a whole lot better

@daveofduncan First I'm reading about it! It's good to hear though.

Yeah, but I'm not sure if this will be handled like the Horizon Zero Dawn content or the Street Fighter 5 content. For HZD, everyone had access immediately. SFV stuff is time locked to only those with the game (and the gear from it is pretty horrible).

Also, I wouldn't be buying it SOLELY for the MHW stuff. I really enjoyed 3, 4, and DMC, but never got around to playing 1 and 2. The HD collection might hold me off until G rank is released

Yes.yes.yes. I wonder if this will be time locked for people who buy the DevilMayCry collection. I was on the fence, but I'll certainly buy it for MH goodies

I'm still waiting on a review. Who knows if EA decided to lootbox or micro-transaction half the game away... on PS3, it was a great 'turn your brain off and drive' kinda game.

@munkondi That's been a staple of the series since PS2. The idea is to focus on teamwork rather than brute forcing and ignoring each other. In my opinion, it's not a 'problem' that needs a 'fix'.

That said, you can very easily use decoration or armor skills to prevent others from interrupting you.

Aw nuts I was worried about this.... considering the issues in The Impatient still haven't been addressed, I think I'll have to pass

@WanderingBullet It's rarity 7, so the best way to farm it would be threat level 2 investigations. You could also get it from threat 1 or 3, but 2 would have the highest rates.

Cause it's their best game ever.

@TheBraveFencer They are nothing unique/special. You'd always be better off with another set. It's not unusable and would be fairly usable for the beginning of High Rank, but there are much better sets later.

The bow is questionable? It has 30% affinity which is really nice. It also has a level 3 deco slot and poison + coatings, so it MAY be decent once fully upgraded. Hard to say since it doesn't have power coatings.

@bindiana Oh, thank you for the correction. that's good to hear

And they are also cutting PS3/Vita support after (Correction: next year). Somewhat of a bummer that Vita is losing support, but I can understand PS3.

@WanderingBullet Honestly, I shouldn't complain. 3 attack decos in under 200 hours seems pretty lucky according to reddit. gems are 1-2% from carves or captures, so you'll pretty much have to rely on the gold rewards in investigations... there it's like 10-15% I believe?

I believe it only crashes if you use 200 'SLOTS' in your deco inventory. Tough to explain. You could have 256 thunder resist decos and be ok, but if you equip them on over 200 pieces of gear, that one deco type would take up 200+ 'slots' and crash the game since decos equipped in gear are in their own inventory 'slot'.

I would think I have over 200 decos total. I know I have a stack of like 25 meowster decos and probably 20+ crisis decos too. RNG hasn't been kind to me and my endeavors to get the non-elemental boost deco

Very exciting I considered importing for a long time, but decided to hold off due to pricing. This will be a day one for me.

Yay Monster Hunter!

Clearly not the best "Monster" game released recently.

yeahhhh Monster Hunter!

My cat already gets jealous whenever I play VR games. He ignores me normally, but the second I put that headset on, he won't leave me alone.

I'm about 130 hours in (with at least 100-200 more for the plat). Still look forward to it all day. Still think about it often. Still have dreams about it sometimes...

It's my favorite PS4 game of all time. Nothing else even comes close. Nothing else probably will.

@Spectra yeah that's always been a bit of an issue with new base games. I remember going from Freedom Unite to Tri and being horrible disappointed in both difficulty and monster uniqueness. (to be fair though, Tri was the worst MH). It's insane how much content 4U and XX has. I just wish they were more modern.. it's far too jarring to go from World to XX.

I always enjoyed the Black Ops lines once they are like $20. They usually have decent online coop. I never liked zombies though....

I can't imagine that developer putting out a VR title. Performance is just so critical.... The base Ark game chugged at 640p and sub 30fps. The trailers look nice though
EDIT: It might be different developers.

Cause it's their best! I miss some of the difficulty in the PSP ones, but I'm hopeful we'll get that back when/if G rank is added. Dang near flawless otherwise.

I'm guessing it will at least be high rank armor/weapon. I'd still rather it be a layered armor set though. There's almost no chance the bow will actually be usable to anyone past HR12 or 13

@ShogunRok I played the beta a bit. No game comes close to tearing me away from MHW right now. It's video gaming perfection.

Also I'm terrible at fighting games except the Naruto one... because it's unbalanced and I know all the OP characters
