@themcnoisy there's a platinum but its not that easy, you have to go out of your way a bit in order to achieve it and be very good at climbing with Bob which is no easy feat. I got about 40% of thew trophies on my first play-through.
@ShogunRok @Quintumply What about Hellblade or Ni No Kuni 2? Otherwise I think they'll just rely on third parties as there are plenty of them coming, Destiny 2, COD WW2, Battlefront 2, Fifa 18, Southpark, etc. There is tons of games, i'm not sure an exclusive for the holiday period is needed.
I used to absolutely love AC but ever since AC3 I haven't been too bothered about it. Can't see this getting much hype among the other titles that are coming for the PS4
I've played quite a lot of VR titles and there's a really common thing occuring, every game is too short. the content might be brilliant but there just isn't enough of it. Whether that's due to budget or developers not wanting to commit to a certain gameplay idea before they know it will work is beyond me. I just wish developers would make some longer experiences for VR rather than throw out these tiny, lacklustre games.
@sinalefa Tbh, I didn't think the game rewarded you enough for your effort. There are no permanent unlocks that stay with you between attempts and therefore there is no sense of progression. I also think the procedural generation of the levels really ruins the potential of the game as many areas are totally overwhelming with holes and enemies absolutely everywhere. Combined with the unique and fiddly controls make it quite the frustrating experience in which death comes around far too often, leaving you stuck in a repetitive loop of restarting the game from scratch.
@carlos82 The demo is the simplest puzzle, as you progress they get more challenging and therefore take more time but generally all the levels are the same in length. It all really depends how fast you are at finding the solution. If I return to a level now I could probably complete it in less than a minute but first time round it would have taken me thirty.
@AlexStinton @get2sammyb No, dive right in, it's way better without a guide. I just need a fresh mind to help me find this final collectible for the platinum trophy.
@AFCC Yeah some of the lore should definitely be added to the game, even if they just put in the animated shorts that they have already made. I'm sure there are a lot of players who haven't even seen them.
I'm really looking forward to this, Junkenstein's Revenge was by far the best event to date, hope this is just as good. Usually Overwatch updates for PS4 come on Tuesday evenings around 9pm BST, so I can see this being available later today.
Tbh I really enjoyed the bandit camps, they felt like a good change of pace from fighting the machines. I loved hitting those headshots and storming through a large group of them like they were puny insects.
The main parts I didn't like were the flying enemies, hard to keep track of, constant camera adjustments as you are always looking at the sky, etc. The other bad thing was definitely the amount of dialogue tapes to listen to. I'd rather of had a long cutscene tbh.
In terms of new robots, I think a giant fish/sea monster would be cool. Possibly even some sort of monkey that swings through the trees using ropes similar to Aloy, could work.
@hadlee73 It's really quite a refreshing experience that nobody saw coming. It's also such a unique concept that not many other developers have explored, definitely worth a play.
I might get Dragon Quest Inquisition Deluxe Edition it's only £2.99. Also there is a new humble bundle available for US PSN accounts here: https://www.humblebundle.com
I absolutely loved Destiny but I can't help but feel they are going backwards with Destiny 2. They are using the same enemies, Cabal, probably the least interesting of the lot. They are injecting personality into it through just one character. Those posters look very bland as well, there is nothing on there that makes me interested in the game. I really hope they prove me wrong but it is looking very bland to me atm
I finished this today, I really enjoyed it. It's a charming little game (pun intended). Some of the final levels can be a pain to get through. I'm not sure if I'm going to return for all the collectibles, may at some point.

Re: Agents of Mayhem Snags a Suitably Stupid Gameplay Trailer
Does that trailer actually appeal to anyone? Sorry, it just looks a bit lacklustre and generic to me

@ShogunRok None of the above, all of them will be either 2018 or 2019 releases for sure.

Re: Paladins, That Team Shooter That Isn't Overwatch, Is Now on PS4
Tbh, it feels like a cross between Smite and Overwatch but it doesn't feel as good as either of them.

@get2sammyb They really are, I'm quite enjoying checking out all the variations of puzzles developers come up with for VR.

Can we not just have someone playing the game instead of this guy waffling on?

Re: Overwatch Insurrection Leaks Ahead of Time
@AFCC Could this be the first in a series of PvE missions for Overwatch all under the name of Overwatch Uprising, I think that'd be cool.
Re: Store Update: 11th April 2017 (Europe)
I've got Yooka Laylee on preorder with Amazon so hopefully it'll arrive today so I can give it a try later.

Meh. That is all.
Re: Review: Fated: The Silent Oath (PS4)
@gbanas92 @get2sammyb Certainly looks and sounds better than some of the titles i've been playing lately on PSVR.
