I let my membership lapse last month. I’ll wait for Sony to give me a reason to renew. Honestly, I think all the online memberships between the three companies are bad deals unless you play online games.

@Dange Boom! Roasted!

I had all my fantasy pennies on RDR2 winning this, and after looking at your list, I know I was right and you’re wrong

It’s not baffling at all. Everyone has time and money constraints. People are disappointed this game doesn’t fall into the top bracket of AAA games, so are worried about wasting time and money on it. That’s normal IMO and nothing new. Back in the 90s we all wanted our hotly anticipated games to get above 90%

I’m playing Cuphead. Very solid run and gun game. I’d forgotten how much I enjoy this style of gameplay. I think they kind of ruined it in recent years by making them into rogue lites. Microsoft got this one spot on, though.

@themcnoisy FUT is really annoying online. So many games i would have won if my opposition didn’t have a superstar player. Early on they made it easy to to get Eden Hazard through their Squad Builder game, if you paid to get all the necessary players to unlock him. Seriously frustrating because loads of people online had him, and here was I with Danny Wellbeck and Alex Iwobi and other unfashionable players... They make it very tempting to spend money...

@Ralizah rondo is already available on PSN

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy personally I prefer these games anyway. Except Simon’s Quest of course.

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy this is not the genre’s roots. Metroidvania basically refers to Symphony of the Night and Super Metroid. Before SOTN, Castlevania was a left to right action platformer.

Not cool, Sony.

My heart wasn't ready for Axel's uppercut sound effect

I had no interest in this till I walked passed a Game showing this off. Looks amazing! Will buy. Eventually.

@jdv95 that must be a recent thing with ND games. I got the plat in Uncharted 2 and I remember for MP literally all I had to do was play one round, which I thought was fair enough. Shame they stopped doing that.

I’m more interested in Rare games like Banjo being back on Nintendo. Also, i’m surprised Nintendo allowed MS to invade the Switch with it’s achievement system. I thought they were against that kind of thing.

It's all good till you realise you're 2 foot tall.

I need MW2 remastered. Love that game and the maps. Also nukes!

@JJ2 Shootler is way cooler!

I need see-through controllers like on the PS3

This game looks like a lot of fun to me. I’m gonna wait until the reviews though to see if it all comes together well or not. Messing with hordes seems particularly interesting. Hopefully the performance is there.

I liked the look of that WiLD game. Is that just vaporware at this point? I’m actually tired of killing animals in open world games. That game looked like something a bit less cruel.

@JoeBlogs whatever. I think a big part of that game is the story and hoping that certain characters survive. I’ll leave it at that.

@JoeBlogs having played the game till the end, I know it’s spoilery. You wouldn’t suggest a spin-off game for a member of the camp that dies would you?

@JoeBlogs that’s a bit spoilery, buddy. Though I do agree with you. A remake of Red Dead Redemption would also be welcome.

I finished Mario + Rabbids last night. I might continue playing God of War, Or maybe Pixeljunk Monsters 2.

Screw Ecco the Dolphin! All our parents bought us that instead of good games like Desert Strike, Streets of Rage, or whatever, because that bastard was so cute and friendly. Turns out, that game is hard as nails, and no one I knew got past the first freaking level.

It just looks like 3rd person Destiny. Plus it’s EA, so it’s going to be full of micro transactions, if not now then in a month or two. I don’t see the point in this game.

That’s a lot of spin to announce Quantic Dream has been ditched by Sony.

God of War PS4. This game is great but took me a while for my brain to get used to the controls. The amount of times I ran up to enemies smashing square and triangle only for nothing to happen, was very frustrating and made me yell expletives. But i’m used to it now, and it probably does make me more deliberate when using the shoulder buttons, which I guess is what they were going for.

The Switch is a very powerful handheld, and Sony isn’t in the handheld business anymore. Between that and Nintendo’s library of exclusives, it’s a very tempting proposition. Not that I value it above my PS4, but it has made me fall in love again with handheld gaming since the Vita withered away.

I finally saw credits in RDR2, but I will continue to play it tonight. Maybe try online. It’s a masterpiece.

The violence is ridiculous. Everything looks like a fatality.

@brendon987 same. I walked into the game store, picked up the demo booth controller, and said to myself ‘this hunk of junk will never live in my house’. Love the Switch though.

@Krest_arisen People are just happy to be able to play Nintendo games without having to hold a Fisher Price tablet in their hands.

@kyleforrester87 yeah i’m fine with that. It took me about a year to finish Uncharted 4, and that turned out to be one of my favorite games. Heavy stuff has it’s time and place. I actually spent the night playing Mario + Rabbids.

I think i’m going to try and go back the Red Dead tonight. Even though I find the open world gameplay and mission structure boring, i’ve heard so many good things about the story that I need to know what happens. I am after all invested in Arthur, Dutch and the gang. Like the sag in the middle of a series, I need to power through to get the emotional pay-offs in the season finale.

Lighting’s warm entry point is my final fantasy.

@Hapuc the controls are clearly better than the Vita, as they should be what with it being a more modern console. A Switch costs 300 euros, all IPhones are more expensive than that with the new ones being over 1000.

@Hapuc haha. It’s a good handheld. It has good touch, rumble, all the buttons that you need... I wish it existed within the PlayStation ecosystem, but it doesn’t.

I don’t play on my Vita since I bought a Switch. Nintendo actually delivered home console quality games on a handheld. The Vita was close, but no cigar.

This just in: Bloodborne is good. In other news water is still wet and grass is green.

@TheArt the emergent gameplay is good, but I wish it counted for more; you don’t really need to engage with that stuff. The meat and potatoes of RDR2 are riding on a horse while listening to voiceover, Max Payne 3 shooting, and cut scenes.

The open world stuff, camp stuff, survival, hunting and documenting are more interesting than the actual game IMO.

Great work Kratos (both). I need to play GoW, Spider-Man, Detroit and AC. For the time being, i’m balls deep in Zelda BOTW, which I really like. RDR2 is horseshit.

Uncharted games are good and absolutely worth finishing. It’s a 3rd person shooter with stealth, climbing, fighting, and puzzle solving as well. Nothing revolutionary, but solid enough gameplay. Much better than taking turns to attack, cast a spell, or heal, as if that represents any kind of challenge or satisfaction whatsoever.

I can only really vote for RDR2, even though i’m only half way through it and find it quite boring and frustrating a lot of the time.

Here’s to hoping Tasuki and Kyle can be BFFs now!

@ShaiHulud Doom is a lot better than TitanFall 2. TitanFall 2 is COD with robots.

@doctommaso for people with money to burn on stocking fillers, it’s a novelty item.

If i’m going to play old games, I need them to be jazzed up with challenges, trophies and online play.

I hope it does more for me than the campaign.

@kyleforrester87 I fear that I am not cool enough to play turn-based Japanese RPGs. I’m working on it though!
