Witcher 3 is pretty much solid 30fps now anyway with Boost Mode enabled on Pro, even in swamps and Novigrad.

This was inevitable anyway, now that Xbox has it's own "Pro-style" platform we'll see a lot more cross platform games getting support for them. It just didn't make sense for CDPR to work on a patch for one console, knowing that Scorpio was still on it's way.

The douchebags who stole the info will get little admiration from anyone in gaming. If there's one company that has always treated it's fans right it's CD Projekt RED, and holding them to ransom will just be seen as a huge move by most people in the community

@themcnoisy according the devs the PS4 game will include the "first season if Horizons DLC" as standard. So basically it will come with all the currently available DLC included. Pretty good deal if you ask me. I have the base game on Xbox One and was thinking about getting the DLC the other day but thought I'd leave it and wait for the PS4 release date. Looks like that was the right choice haha

Couldn't agree more with this result. I voted for The Witcher 3 and Bloodborne in most categories but when it comes to GOTY and Best Studio, its got to be Witcher & CD Project Red for me
Wild Hunt is my all time greatest game, the first game I've ever loved more than Breath of Fire IV on PSOne 😂

Also "...Konami has a history of making the best games around..."
Hahaha no. Konami has a history of publishing great games then running them into the ground or turning them into goddamn Pachinko machines

It can continue without Kojima, but it can NOT continue with Konami, because Konami are completely f***ing inept as a publisher and are 100% out of touch with their fan base and what the consumers want

Ive just been playing it, finishing up a Vanguard Bounty as I knew it was gonna be down for a while, and during the bounty I got an Exotic engram
I started the process of unlocking it and doing the little missions needed to use the thing when the servers went down. Gutted

I recently got back into it when I decoded to get the first two dlc's and forgot how much I enjoyed it.
It sounds like Patrol and Strike modes are gonna be more worthwhile so I can't wait for The Taken King to drop

@carlos82 like Mega-Gazz said, I've never understood the argument against its rewards and grind heavy gameplay. As I understand it, the game is built to be essentially a console MMO, so I went into it expecting lots of grind and little, incremental rewards.
I'm like you though, I played it for a while when it came out, really enjoyed it, then put it down and didn't look at it again for almost a year. I literally started playing it again two days ago. I enjoy it, but I don't know much about MMO style games so I'm certainly not qualified to speak too much about the mechanics of it all.
I just felt like some people were ready to hate it no matter what, but I suppose with a project this big and financially successful that's to be expected

I always felt bad for Destiny's story. The lore is there, and its fascinating and some of the stories are incredibly well-written, but they've buried it underneath that inconvenient and pointless Grimoire system.
They've tried to create an almost Dark Souls-esque narrative, and they've done a pretty good job of it, but they executed it so poorly that most people missed it entirely.
If they attached the lore entries to inventory items like they do in Dark Souls instead of making you ex out the game and go to a cometely separate website I think it would have gone a long way to silencing some of the games critics

There should be a Vote option for "The Witcher 3's New Game +"

Goddamn it, I JUST got Final Fantasy X HD and now im gonna have to ignore it for another 200 hours

I literally added Grow Home to my Steam wishlist yesterday so I guess I know which one I'll be voting for =)

Maybe it's just me but I can see plenty of difference between the two versions.
Personally I'd rather see a slight downgrade in favour of solid 60fps anyway, but either way MGS V is gonna look fantastic

Ive got a week off coming up so I started my second pkaythrough of The Witcher 3
Also hammered EA Sports UFC Career Mode in anticipation of the Ronda Rousey fight

Bloodborne naturally. I'll probably start up Transistor or Bravely Default again as well when I get tired of getting my ass handed to me by From Software

I died first time because my poison build up got me just as she did her grab attack.
Second time I rinsed her out like a wet flannel. I'd say this is easiest of Bloodborne's bosses so far

@mitcHELLspawn all you need to do is immediately start spamming him with your firearm as soon you get up the ladder. He'll stagger backwards after a few shots and fall off the tower. Easy kill.
By now you've probably gone back and beaten him but if not, good luck. He's pretty hard of you plan on fighting him properly, but blast him off the edge and you'll get your echoes back

@get2sammyb good, is rather have Pirellis than Metzelers any day! I can't wait to pick this up, it's gonna have to wait til I get back from Yarnham though

There's one part of this review that really bugs me.
"... you'll always have a reason to take to the tarmac and burn Pirelli rubber."
The official tyre partner of the game is actually Metzeler, not Pirelli. But I only care 'cause I'm a huge goddamn nerd for bikes lol
Unfortunately, I've long ago learned to settle for Average-At-Best motorbike video games. This was set to be exactly the game I've always wanted (a Forza/Gran Turismo game but with bikes instead) and it seems to have fallen short, unsurprisingly.
I'll still be getting it though, I love bike so much that I'll play these Milestone games all year round, like FIFA

@get2sammyb thanks mate ☺any news on how long it takes to find the warped twinblades lol

Definitely Waste of Skin (although I could do without the name)
I'd rather start from Soul (Blood?) Level 0 to have complete control and that's about as close as I'll get. A little bit of practice farming on the opening enemies and you'll quickly catch up to the levels of the other classes, but you'll be there on your terms

I'm more excited for FFXV then ever after playing Episode Duscae.
I've spent most of the weekend getting stuck into it and loved every minute. Getting stuck on my team mates and wrestling with the lock on system were lowlights definitely, not to mention the frequently choppy framerate when panning the camera out in the open, but I spent much more of time in Duscae marvelling at the surroundings and smiling at all the little nods to Final Fantasy fans.
I like the combat, it has a surprising scope for personalisation and it feels almost like Crisis Core's big brother, which isn't surprising given who's directing it.
I wouldn't recommend buying Type-0 HD just to play it though, unless you're also interested in Type-0, as it's just not long enough to warrant a £50+ price tag.
I'm really looking forward to FFXV now, if only just to see how the Regalia handles on those long l'Cie laden lanes

@Cowboysfan-22 No worries dude. Yeah there is a multiplayer mode but as far as I know it's completely separate from the single player. You create a new character and have to complete combat missions with or against other players. There's a pay-to-win element involved from what I've heard but honestly I haven't even tried the multiplayer. Might be best to read a review or two for more details on that part of it mate

@Cowboysfan-22 I'd definitely recommend it then dude, it's an excellent RPG. I sank like 40 hours into it without even realising. Still feel like I've barely scratched the surface! Definitely not a bad choice for your gift card mate

@Cowboysfan-22 I honestly wouldn't advise getting Dragon Age if you're not into those kinds of games. It's a great game, I love it, but I feel like you may lose interest halfway through it's GARGANTUAN adventure if you're not interested in games like it.
Having said that, if you're open minded enough about it, what the hell. It's a fantastic game well worth playing

I really loved the whole thing but I wasn't scared by it after the first 20 minutes or so. I found myself painfully aware that I was playing a video game because of the random nature of the last puzzle.
So when I'm wandering around trying to figure out how to make something happen I'm more bored than scared.
Like I said though, I loved the experience and I'm sure that Silent Hills WILL be terrifying with few, if any, arbitrary win conditions
