Re: Rumour: PS4 Exclusive DriveClub Slamming on the Brakes Until June

Reverend_Skeeve

@KALofKRYPTON Ah cool, good to know! If I had the 50 or so bucks to spare right now, I'd buy it in a heartbeat, if only to have moar food for my PS4. Love Racing games in general and I sneaked a peak when NFS was free on PS3 thanks to PS+

As it is, I'm on a very tight budget for games right now, so Tomb Raider (and indeed, you better! ) and inFamous will have to do. Fun fact: inFamous will be my birthday present to myself...it's on March 18th, so the 21st is an almost perfect release date for that.

Re: Rumour: PS4 Exclusive DriveClub Slamming on the Brakes Until June

Reverend_Skeeve

@KALofKRYPTON Well, we can hope, right? Project Cars sure looks awesome! And in general, I'm not too concerned with games getting delayed...if it makes it a better game, I'm all for it. Just would've loved to have something additional to play to help me over until Tomb Raider and inFamous...

I have to admit that Driveclub does look better and better with each new video snippet they release...if the gameplay can hold up, this game should be good. I do like the on the fly challenges that pop up when somebody out of your friendslist already drove on the track and such.

@BarrettJChris Perhaps because he pretty much started the site and has a firm eye on the use of inappropriate language in the comments? One of the things that make this site and the community so enjoyable, btw...the (mainly) absence of trolls and people who can't post a comment without getting rude.

@get2sammyb Sorry for fighting your battle...couldn't resist.

BTT: If this rumor is true, I am disappointed, because I want this game rather sooner than later. And indeed...if this is true, how could they ever hope to release this game around launch? And if Driveclub really needs/needed that much work, why did they wait so long to admit the delay? This really smacks a little bit of "let's lure 'em in with false promises."

Re: Free Killzone: Shadow Fall Multiplayer Maps Fire onto PS4 Soon

Reverend_Skeeve

Awesome! Mainly thanks to the excellent posts about Killzones mp in the forum by @Scollurio I really got into the games multiplayer and enjoy it a lot. Especially the map on the cruiser sounds like a lot of fun. Can't wait for the co-op expansion and maybe some moar shiny new weapons. Bought the season pass and am curious what comes next.

Re: Blimey, PS4 Sales Are More Than Double the Xbox One in Germany

Reverend_Skeeve

@charlesnarles Pretty much, yeah. Sony surfed on a wave of good will since Microsofts clustermug...The 360 was quite popular here, but everyone I asked about intentions to buy an Xbox One just laughed hysterically.

Windows actually is quite popular here, though. It is by far the most common OS around here...but Linux seems to gain ground, especially among the tech-savy folks...I do use Win7 professional myself and are quite content with it, I must admit. *hides in shame

Re: Soapbox: Sony Is Depriving Players of the Optimal PS Vita Experience

Reverend_Skeeve

I will buy a Vita one day, but the insane prices for memory cards hold me back, indeed. And I'm sure I'm not the only one. I think Sony is really hurting Vita sales with this. I love my physical copies, but in the Vitas case, I'd most probably go mostly digital...and If there was a 64GB card for a fair price available, I'd make the jump with a better feeling. I can't help but feel ripped of by this prices.

Re: Talking Point: Will Someone Please Frag Online Exclusive Trophies

Reverend_Skeeve

Good article, and I couldn't agree more...I hate achievements/trophies that force you through the MP to get them. I'm not a die-hard completionist, but I like trophies and at least the idea I could get all of them a game has without playing the MP.

I mostly play and enjoy single player, campaign-driven games, because many people in online games tend to be jerks...that, and also I suck at online gaming.

Also, I agree with @artemisthemp and others that many games seem to have a tacked on mp mode "just for the sake of it". So yes, please, make the MP optional by keeping the trophies to the single player side.

I'm with @ZeD...sometimes I walk away from games or dislike them because they want to force the mp on me through trophies.

Re: Poll: What Was Your Favourite PlayStation Game of 2013?

Reverend_Skeeve

Since I just had a PS3 for a few month, borrowed from a friend, and thus had no opportunity to play either GTA V or TloU, I have to go with Resogun...again. Such awesome! Keeps me coming back again and again...it's been a long time since I felt motivated to try again and again for a perfect run in a game and keep trying, despite the game handing me my youknowwhat. That I can grab a video of said run, should I succeed, is just the icing on the cake.

@Tasuki Agreed, sir!

Re: Soapbox: Assassin's Creed's Modern Day Component Is Holding the Series Back

Reverend_Skeeve

Excellent article, and I agree! Not only do I feel like the modern day parts hold AC back, but in the case of AC 4, even the Assassins gameplay does so...it just feels dated and done to death if I still have to stealth-follow people and such.

Give me a proper pirates game with more open world and some economy sim with the ability to have own stronholds and I don't even need the Assassins part.

Re: Game of the Year: Best PlayStation 3 Games of 2013

Reverend_Skeeve

@rastamadeus Agreed, it's not perfect, but I like the style and lots of other stuff...I'm sure, though, that the movie pales in comparison to the comics, which I still have to get my hands on.

And yes...the musical catastrophes of distant past...I shudder when I think of some of my former choices. Although I started with Queen...could've been worse...but some bands after that...? *whimper

Re: Game of the Year: Best PlayStation 3 Games of 2013

Reverend_Skeeve

@rastamadeus Yeah, I noticed...thankfully, I haven't been personally attacked by him...too much (I like the Watchmen movie, which makes me ignorant in his book). I think you pegged him perfectly...and I also find it astonishing how he could blabber about ignorance so much when he was a text book case.

I'm afraid he'll be back, though, telling us all how much he doesn't need us.

@All and Everybody: Thank you for all being such respectful and decent folks! As I said plenty of times before, the community on here is a big part of why Pushsquare is special...let's keep it that way.

@get2sammyb Good. Finally.

Re: Game of the Year: Best PlayStation 3 Games of 2013

Reverend_Skeeve

@RisefomAshes I didn't say you tried to be popular on here...and looking at the way you express yourself on this site, you clearly didn't.

I just find it amusing how you blame others for ignorance and yet seem to be unable to accept other opinions than your own...and you have to even insult people whose opinion is different.

What you seem to fail to grasp is that there is no "universal truth", least of all when it comes to art, where the personal experience highly influences how a piece of media is perceived. But I and others have already tried to explain that to you in the deleted super hero forum thread, alas, without success.

Plus, you didn't ask to be banned, you just behaved inappropriate again after Sammy warned you.

I hope you some day are able to cope with other peoples opinions in a more respectful matter...it will make it easier for others to see your point if they aren't repelled by rude behavior.

Re: Talking Point: Do the PS4 Controller's Gimmicks Add Anything Worthwhile?

Reverend_Skeeve

@Carl-G Agree on the text-thingy...most of it I can read okay, but the comics you can find are barely readable for me, as is the text when you speak to Sinclair when on mission (the little picture of him in the upper right corner). I have a 46" HDTV which is probably not too outrageously huge compared with what others may have and in many cases maybe bigger than what others play on...I don't understand either how text issues like this can still happen...those arose at the beginning of current gen already on the 360...one would think devs would've learned by now.

Do they do all their testing on 50" HDTVs and beyond? Only thing that'd make sense...

Re: Talking Point: Do the PS4 Controller's Gimmicks Add Anything Worthwhile?

Reverend_Skeeve

I also like the light bar, but as most, I wish there was a possibility to turn it off. I have to charge my DS4 daily and assume this would not be the case without the light. I like the look of it, but until now, it is indeed just a gimmick I could do without.

The touch pad is nice, although a little too sensitive it seems...text input with it seems jittery, but I'm curious what devs will find for uses for it...it being used as a thumb scanner in inFamous is a nice, little touch. cough

The gyros I like as well...works so fine in Flower, so yay for them.

Another thing I wish for is the ability to turn off the DS4s internal speaker/output the speaker audio together with the normal PS4 system audio. I mostly play in the evening when my daughter is asleep, so I turned the volume down to zero to not disturb her/the wife, but now I can't hear the Killzone audio logs, for example. Plugging my headphone into the DS4 and output all audio over the DS4 --> headphone is a possibility, but the volume isn't that great, so I tend to plug my headphone into my TV, because it's louder that way, so an option for that would be appreciated.

That said, this is all easily fixable via an update, so I'm not too worried...and the DS4 is still the goddamn best controller I ever used.

Re: Game of the Month: November 2013 - Resogun

Reverend_Skeeve

@ivanmata You're an iron-hard bad-ass, sir!
@ThreadShadow I think he dropped here'n there that he likes it a little bit or so...

Btt: Resogun for me. Thanks to Pushsquare and @get2sammyb I was very looking forward to try it and I love it! Am playing it more than my other games.

Re: Sony's Studio Liverpool Rises from the Ashes as Firesprite

Reverend_Skeeve

@Cloud7794 That would be hilarious...people suddenly showing their true colors. Didn't know that WipeOut was considered a horrible game by many, though. But still, I wouldn't care if it was multi-platform...let everyone who wants to play it play it...just give me a new WipeOut in sweet 2080p at 60fps with all the graphical pow the PS4 can muster, please!

I have such fond memories of the WipeOut games on PS1...

Re: First Impressions: Shining a Spotlight on Free PS4 Shooter Blacklight: Retribution

Reverend_Skeeve

@MatGrowcott No, luckily it doesn't pop up very often...in fact, this is the first time I encountered it.

But still I wonder...your explanation (or rather the one on the PS Blog) would make sense, if PSN or PS+ were a valid age confirmation, which they aren't...theoretically, I could set up a fake PSN account with an "I am at least 18" date of birth, then buy a PSN prepaid card to load some money up in the account and purchase PS+ without ever needing to put a credit card into the account data. As a matter of fact, I don't have a cc connected to my PSN account and pay for everything (including PS+) with prepaid cards...

But hey, I long stopped to wonder about German regulations...especially when it comes to video games and movies...I just sigh and accept the status quo...

Re: First Impressions: Shining a Spotlight on Free PS4 Shooter Blacklight: Retribution

Reverend_Skeeve

@MatGrowcott Actually, I never heard about any rules concerning the giving away for free of adult games here up until now. Other f2p games are free here as well (DC Universe Online, all those game on the google play store and so on), but maybe it has something to do with Blacklight being an adult game, yes, since Warframe costs a few Euros on PSN as well.

In general, the German rating board for games is very strict, so maybe this has to do something with it. I did buy both Warframe and Blacklight, because I want to support passionate independent developers.

But normally I have the impression that stuff that's free elsewhere is also free here, luckily.

Re: The PS4's Share Button Has Been Pushed More Than 6.5 Million Times

Reverend_Skeeve

Nice! I must admit the sharing and grabbing feature grew on me. When first announced in Feb., I wasn't sure what to think about it, but I trimmed a few Killzone videos and uploaded them to fb and I can see myself uploading some cool "holy cow, that was awesome" videos or some hilarious Just Cause 3 moments in the future. It's definitely nice to have the option and that it works so well already.

Re: Doki-Doki Universe Bumbles an Iconic Bass Line This Month

Reverend_Skeeve

@odd69 @get2sammyb Yes, cross-buy is awesome! Bought flOw on PS3 and was very happy to get the shinier 1080p version for free when it released. Even the expansion pack with more creatures to play was free since I already bought it. Sweet! This is one of the cases where a fully digital game release has actual benefits.

Re: PS4 Stock Sells Like Lightning at Amazon in North America

Reverend_Skeeve

@RisefromAshes I won't go as far to say that 200 million is impossible, but I'd agree with @moomoo that it's unlikely. The PS3 reached about 80 million global sales by now. I think the PS4 will do much better over the same period (or even in 10 years from launch), but more than twice the numbers seems too high for me...but as you said: let's see what happens.

Off topic: is that a Baine pic from the movie or you cosplaying? Just curious.

Re: Talking Point: Share Your European PS4 Launch Stories Here

Reverend_Skeeve

Oh my god! What a wonderful system! Everything runs fine so far (besides some minor PSN hick ups). Killzone looks eye-burningly beautiful...love it. But Resogun...man...@get2sammyb You were right about this game...what a trip...and what a treat. Truly one of those "easy to pick up, hard to master" games. Would pay for it in a heartbeat...all the better it's free, but if Housemarque releases the promised dlc (more ships and stages, I think), I'll buy that stuff asap.
