Re: Microsoft Parodies PS4's Infamous Game Sharing Video

ZeD

@AnubisLK8T2 Yea I sold by Xbox 360 close to the end of the cycle when M$ stopped caring about the gamers which was still apparent at the launch of the Xbone. I believe they have turned this around now and things are looking better.
But with PS Now you can play PS3 games on your Vita! What a world we live in! In fact I can play Xbone games on my laptop, again, what a world!!

@AnubisLK8T2 PS Now is very convenient and even though it is a steep price it offers a great way to play older games. The Backwards Compatibility is great on the XBone and I have gone out a purposely brought older games so I can play them again.

@Gamer83 For me it was when they said it does not cost anything (yea I know if you have digital games it will not). I think it is a great feature and I have gone out to get some titles that I loved last gen but it did cost me something.

Re: Opinion: We're So Sick of Saving the Bloody World

ZeD

I agree with @Bad-MuthaAdebisi about the need for better story writing. I myself love a good story and I must agree that I have saved the world many times in the past. The issue is (like Sammy has already said) that it seems to have become the go to script for the majority of the game. I have just finished Uncharted and even though the ending is pretty weak, it did not end in me saving the world - it ended in me just getting off the damn island alive (very similar to what Tomb Raider did). Like I said, not a great ending but different enough to make it count.
We went through a phase of major blockbuster movie style scripting but now where we currently are feels lazy. I feel like developers have three dice they role - the 1st has Open World on all sides, the 2nd has Save The World on all sides and the third one is the Character's Quirk.
It has been a long while since a game's story has blown my mind - maybe The Last of Us was the last one. Next to the Bioshock series, TLOU is story writing at it's best.

Re: Talking Point: Does EA Access Really Represent Poor Value for PS4 Players?

ZeD

@get2sammyb I have EA Access on my Xbox One and I think it is great value! In fact, I have held off buying Fifa 16 because at the moment 15 is enough for me until 16 goes into the Vault. I think Sony are silly not letting EA Access onto the system - it would only make sense if EA were part of the PS Now Sub but they are not.

@LieutenantFatman £48? My sub cost me £19.99 which is a bargain imo
Wait I see your mistake here. You have multiplied the monthly sub of EA Access by 12 and compared it to the YEARLY cost of PS+
Monthly cost of PS+ would work out at about £70

Wow, when you break it down like that PS+ is a rip off (my opinion) - I have not re-subbed as of yet due to the poor quality of the IGC in recent months. The last good game I thought was rocket league which was brilliant.

Re: October's PlayStation Plus Lineup Is Going to P*** People Off

ZeD

I dropped my subscription last month as I had not being getting my value for money. Most of my online play happens on my Xbox now and I have not played a Plus game for many months. I was hoping that this month would change that but not for me. I actually own the majority of the games already and I will say that Broken Age is the highlight here.

Re: Poll: Has Destiny Won You Back With The Taken King?

ZeD

For me I quit playing when they blocked content because I did not want to buy the over priced DLC. However though if I get it now, I can get the full version (Base game + DLC + Taken King) for £40 I think (will have to check) but me being cheap I may wait for it to drop in price. From what I have read the Y2 update has fixed all the issues I had with it before. I understand that it is a MMO and grinding is key but what they wanted in the original game was just plain silly

Re: July 2015 NPD: PS4 Tops Hardware and Software Sales Again

ZeD

I read a good article somewhere explain why this holiday season is the time for Microsoft to get the jump on Sony. Compared side by side (at the moment), Microsoft has a lot of exclusive games coming out. If they do not get the jump on Sony, then they never will.
@Kohaku I agree. No need for any new consoles any time soon. Like you said they are both selling well but one better than the other

Re: Review: Goat Simulator (PS4)

ZeD

I think 6 is a little too generous. As a game it really is does not offer much. This is just YouTube bait 😒
What is the cost of this "game" - cannot see the side bar on mobile.

Re: Is This Redesigned PS4 User Interface an Improvement?

ZeD

@get2sammyb It may be fast and fluid but it is a nightmare to find a game that you have not played in a while. Once it has gone off the ribbon, you then have to go into your Library (which contains EVERYTHING!) and search there.
I have to agree with others on here, it is a very boring OS.
I am getting on Xbone this week so I will be able to see the difference between companies but I have Windows 10 at the moment and the Xbox App (which is going to be the future One's layout) knocks spots of the PS4 OS.
Once last point, why can Sony not do a Total Play Time!? Xbox does it, 3DS does it (an WiiU? Not sure about this - can some one confirm) and Steam does this! It cannot be that hard. They need to have a feature where us the players can recommend features that need to be added. I believe there is one but I doubt they listen.

All in all,...
Microsoft = King of the OS
Sony = King of the Hardware
