@Hapuc Well, you accept quests to do different things such as gathering resources and of course hunting monsters. You can do a quest as many times as you want and you'll definitely want to do that especially for boss monster parts with low drop rates.
@Hapuc Most Monster Hunter Games have some semblance of a story, but it would seem that World is taking a more cinematic approach to the storytelling this time with spoken narrative and in-engine cutscenes. Also, you typically hunt and kill monsters especially when starting out, but there is a capture mechanic in the game which yields higher drop rates for monster parts.
I assume opened near mint copies are also still valuable. Thus I'm happy I picked this up before the buyout. Not that I plan to sell it anytime soon, if ever.
"Current market conditions" meaning consumers with more than average expendable income are increasing in number and happen to be the ones that are extremely apathetic about the cost of this rather expensive hobby. God I hope Nintendo doesn't follow suit.
Looks pretty nice. Enemy design seems a bit simple compared to other games by Platinum, but I'm sure that this is just a really small taste of what the game will have to offer. The soundtrack tho.. not sure I'm on board yet.
Interesting. Last time I played this on PC I remember getting outgunned from a distance by other players with better/more gear. There was essentially nothing I could do to help my team as a new player. May try again sometime but it seems after the game came out of beta things changed quite a bit.
It would totally be down for a new Killzone if the story were as spectacular as its unique feel. The one thing keeping me away from the franchise is actually finding a reason to care about it.
The absence of some titles is the biggest thing holding me off. If they get supported I will consider buying this thing at some point. Though I suppose it would be nicer to own and play Vita games on an original Vita model.
I think this is one of EA's first steps to becoming a respectable company. Hardline was their big hitter of the holiday season. It's miraculous that they think it's worth it to make it better.
@Gold Less money for them to throw away, of course the microsoft first thing is still one of the dumbest things in gaming right now, then again the argument could be made that exclusive content on any platform is just the same. That's economics for you I guess.
It'd be neat if they tore down the wall and everyone just got along. I just hope the game doesn't make me think too hard about the opposing morals. I do that enough on my own.
Still stand by the "free" games being more of a scam and the fact that I can build a PC for around $500 with mutliplatform multiplayer games that will run better. The exclusives can be great, but the online being behind a paywall (retail wise) just doesn't seem viable to me. $50 a year for PS+ $10 less than xbox live gold, but still feels more like a false benefit. I understand the "why not?" sentiment for those who'll be playing online on PS4 (due to the fact that you only have to pay once a year), but that doesn't mean it's right.
That Wii U hate though. Well I think that PS4 has a plethora of titles throughout each venue such as retail, indie, and free to play. The only place it really lacks is genre variety. There are many action titles and of them there are mostly FPS. I'm trying to search my brain for games day 1 that don't pack that punch. The racing games seem to be in a decent position. If i recall I think Forza 5 is an Xbone launch title and that series has an audience unlike Drive Club so PS4 definitely has ground to gain in that area. On another note this is Killzone's chance to truly shine and I'm hopeful that Shadow Fall can hook me on the universe as KZ3, while decent mechanically, wasn't compelling in spirit.
That's one thing I definitely didn't overlook. It's the streaming platform of choice for gamers. Ustream simply doesn't make sense. But if you're a hipster go ahead and stream there if you want.
@get2sammyb This conversation is getting a bit tired (it's been a good one though), but my concern is mostly in the digital only games. Games such as binding of isaac are surely going to be digital only and the rental problem really gets in the way in such a situation. PS+ is definitely important for the whole playstation experience and I personally believe the service could do a scaling down on the "free" games catch. Hopefully I haven't dragged this on, but thanks for the input Sammy.
@Reverend_Skeeve Like I said I want to own the game not rent it from the service. If I choose to go a year without PS+ I want to be able to play every game that doesn't require the service instead of being restricted access and purchasing it at that time. PS+ has the potential to accumulate a library of games I play regularly that I won't be able to purchase at the time of my cancellation. In the end like I've said before I want to OWN my games.
Still questioning the frame rate. It definitely looks nice and the effects displayed make sense in a sci-fi world. I definitely wouldn't mind giving the game a try. I am also still frustrated at the fact that PS+ is required for MP though. Diverging into that topic (OT maybe) though my gripes lie mostly in the "free games" incentive. Many games I'd rather buy to own are ending up "free".
Maybe it was just the way the video was formated, but for some reason I get the feeling that the framerate isn't very consistent. For whatever reason I feel a little paranoid about it when it comes to certain games.
I wouldn't have liked the original ending, but I don't like the ending they ended up with either. I guess I just never truly connected with the characters.
Well I imagine the extra RAM that One had reserved for OS functions were probably keen for keeping up to date with social features and multitasking so in this area I think it's smart to "compete" like that. Allowing developers to use that extra 1GB should prove to be beneficial when necessary in the end anyways.

@darkswabber I am convinced you didn't actually bother watching it.

@Enuo Demon Slayer is anything but painfully generic.
Re: Hands On: Tetris Effect Is a Borderline Spiritual Experience with PSVR
As a Tetris fan it pains me at my core that I won't be playing this in VR for what is likely to be years. The struggle is real. Oh well, one day..

Re: Horizon: Zero Dawn Delayed to February 2017 on PS4
It looks awesome, but that script is pretty bad to be honest. I'm a little less hopeful for the storytelling now.
Re: Naughty Dog Really Wants You to Believe That Drake Will Die in Uncharted 4
I don't particularly want him to die. As long as the story is good I could deal with it though.
Re: PSX 2015: Final Fantasy VII Remake Looks Incredible in Brand New PS4 Gameplay
Looks amazing but they better fix that battle framerate.
Re: PS4 Remote Play Will Stream to PC in the Future
But why would I want to play my PS4 games on my computer screen? I assume this means you'll be able to use keyboard and mouse which would be nice.
Re: Blimey, Sony's Publishing Helldivers on the PC
Well I, for one, am happy about this news.

Re: Sony's Smallest Ever System Will Play 700 Games at Launch
Felt kind of tempted but gravity rush isn't in the games list so that throws me off a bit
Re: Mass Effect's PS4 Debut Still Stuck in a Galaxy Far, Far Away
Delays are fine as long as the finished product is, well, finished.
Re: EA Cuffs Battlefield Hardline and Throws Away the Key Until 2015

Re: Rumour: You'll Be Riding Elephants in the Next Far Cry Game on PS4
I was disappointed with near end game progression in 3. Hopefully they fix that in the new one.

Re: Uncharted PS4 May Not Fire onto Your New System This Year
"Not likely" equates to "Definitely not" when it comes to dev time. Especially for a game like this.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 16
Tetris Axis. Still Deciding on what else.
Re: Deep Down May Just Be the Prettiest Free-to-Play Game Ever

Re: Journey Is Bringing Enlightenment to PS4
I feel cheated for buying journey collector's edition. Not sure how they're gonna improve the game, but I suppose I'll consider a second purchase.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 15
BF4 beta. Otherwise a lot of PC and 3DS games.

Re: What Third-Party Games Do You Want on PlayStation? Tell Sony's New Division
Can't think of anything right now. Maybe people will beg for xbone exclusive games when once in a blue moon a quality title shows up.
