Re: Soapbox: Why I Don't Think PS4K Is Okay

charlesnarles

I'd buy one if:
1) I happened to somehow acquire a 4K tv (lol)
2) it had full b/c with PS brand discs
3) it could play blurays on repeat (still not a feature!!!)
4) I could somehow save the PT demo on my day-one's 1TB hdd
5) Sony offered a trade-in bundle to reduce costs
...so I don't think I'll be getting one lol

Re: Talking Point: Would You Upgrade to a Supercharged PS4?

charlesnarles

Isn't that just PS5? Especially considering 4's first year being saturated with remasters, as well as 3's final years? I bought a new 3ds for the c stick and eye-tracker; unless there's a game-changing aspect they've upgraded/dated that substantially improves the experience, I'd rather not pay another $400+ for a PS4.5

Re: Fallout 4's Season Pass Is About to Get Pricier on PS4

Bugs are part of the craAaAaziness of the experience. A big 🖕 to every other dev, IMHO, they make games so grand in scope that they can barely run on the standard consoles. Then they fix specific problems, but some stay like the infamous PS3 TES4 GOTY vampire glitch lol. I loved playing knowing that vampirism was incurable, it added a lot. They're not lacking in technical proficiency; it's just inherently glitchy because there is so much off-screen to keep track of at once, even with 8gb of ddr5

Re: Star Wars Games May Have Made Too Much Money in 2015

I bought Battlefront. I bought the deluxe edition. I bought the season pass. I bought the strategy guide. I bought the action figure.
It's not a good game, but the selection on PS4 has been far worse so far, not to mention much less iconic. Intentional bubble economy at its finest

Re: Looks Like Star Wars 1313 May Happen After All

charlesnarles

At this point, I'd buy and play any AAA SW game on PS4. BF is what it is, but it really didn't scratch the SP action/adventure itch I've had for years now, like all my favorite LucasArts games as a kid. Give me my Dark Forces reboot, or finish 1313, or make something new I can really sink my teeth into, because now I'd genuinely rather play Force Commander, Jedi Knight 1 or KotOR2 than BF. [chanting] What do we want? Substance! When do we want it? ...Every time!

Re: No, Your PS2 Discs and PS2 Classics Won't Work on PS4

My PS2's 10 year anniversary of death is coming up fast 😢 while my GF's is in pristine condition. Dust = death, it's not like they just break for no reason. We play SH2-4 often and I don't see a DS4 improving anything. Not to mention they already remastered every "good" PS2 game on PS3 with trophies.

Re: Review: Star Wars Battlefront (PS4)

Building stormtrooper armor and weaponry for the 501st made me put this particular game on a pedestal. This was a disastrous error to make. Taking the game solely for what it is, I like it decently enough. But I was really hoping for a much more involved experience.
Stormtroopers see out of their buckets via 3D holodisplays which could have created a tangible difference to the two "teams." Imagine if choosing the Empire meant that in 1st person you'd have an almost claustrophobic, red-tinted, "computer-assisted" display full of Aurebesh characters, with a rebel criminal profiler identifying the names of your targets based on whether you knew their real names (their usernames could be called illegal "aliases"). This would make up for the camo the rebels sport which makes them practically invisible most of the time. Then the rebel team would feel extremely open, colorful and beautiful, instead of the only difference being which weapon each side starts with.

Re: Valkyria Chronicles Looks Real Tasty on PS4

A bright comet streaking across an otherwise darkened sky. Been my WAYPTW response for ever. Pretty please localize VK like you did originally!
@Neolit it's just 780p like most PS3 titles. Excellent-looking game, but magine it without any aliasing.. and with trophies!
