Re: Poll: Are You Buying Horizon: Zero Dawn?

I wasn't interested in it at all until the last few days when I started seeing reviews. I definitely will pick it up at some point now, but not when it releases only a few days before Switch and BotW. This will have to wait until after Zelda. First time I see it on sale I'll pick it up.

Re: Review: Table Top Racing: World Tour (PS4)

daveh30

I didn't think the game was great or anything, but I'm surprised at the hate its gotten. It's easy, but its fun. I'd give it a 6 or 7. I had previously played the Vita version, though, so I had a good idea what to expect.

Edit:. And that being said, I think Pushsquare's review of the Vita version is a much better review for this game, since it's basically the same game with a little more polish. I guess the Vita version gets a little more slack being on weaker hardware.

Edit Again: "Much better review" is being more harsh than I intended. This review is well written and there's nothing wrong with it. Reviews are opinions, and my opinion of this game more closely aligns with that of the reviewer who did the Vita version... there, that's what I meant. Yeah.

Re: Talking Point: Why Did We All Tune Out of PlayStation TV?

daveh30

I bought one last summer on sale for $30. I already had a vita and a ton of digital games. The PS TV lives in my sons room, kind of a starter console for him. loaded it up with the games i own that are appropriate for him, and he can use it to stream PS4 games. Its been basically a Minecraft / NHL 16 machine, but for the price its been well worth it for him. He loves it.

My biggest pet peeve is when people refer to hockey as 'ice hockey'. Hockey is played on ice, specifying so is redundant. It only needs a precursor if you're playing some wacky variant, like field, floor, or air hockey. And now you know.

Also, I'm pretty much done with EA hockey games... stripping out features from '15 so they can 'wow' us when they get added back into '16 is beyond lame... although not unexpected from EA. I wish somebody, ANYBODY, else would make a hockey game. Doesn't need to be a hardcore sim or anything. a wacky 3 on 3 arcade game for Vita would be great. something like Hit The Ice, or the NHL Hitz series... just not made by EA. If they guys who made Super Mega Baseball wanted to try their hand at a hockey game in that style, i'd be all over it...

Re: Review: Everybody's Gone to the Rapture (PS4)

I've been looking forward to this but was kinda worried it would be one of those games that can't live up to the potential (looking at you, Wander...). Glad this review came out while the preorder discount is still available.

Re: Wii U Exclusive Zombi Officially Reanimated on PS4

daveh30

I enjoyed the original and wouldn't mind playing through it again for Trophies on PS4, if the price is right. I doubt it'll be as good on PS4, given that the original was really only a mediocre game with fantastic Gamepad mechanics, it can really only go downhill with the Gamepad removed. That, and we all know Ubisoft has never 'optimized' anything. They are the king of the lazy port.

Re: Wii U Exclusive ZombiU Looks Likely to Rot PS4

daveh30

Zombi U was, and is, the best example of what could be done with the Gamepad. As a survival horror game, it had atmosphere in spades and was quite enjoyable. I liked it enough that I might buy it again on the PS4, at the right price.
Comparisons to TLOU are just silly. Ones a survival horror game, the other other Uncharted 4: Drake's Infection. TLOU was a great game, but as a fan of horror games, I'd take zombiU. That nursery stage is scary as hell.

Re: Poll: Which PS4 Exclusives Has E3 2015 Convinced You to Buy?

daveh30

Until Dawn is the only thing in that list I'm really looking forward to. Tear Away was good on the Vita, but I feel like it would lose a lot without the Vita's features/ inputs... That one is a wait and see. Uncharted 4 is, well, more Uncharted. I'll pick it up when its on sale, but can't say I'm terribly excited for it. Not saying any of the other stuff looks bad, just not for me.

Re: Feature: We Grade E3 2015's Press Conferences

daveh30

Bethesda had the best conference for me. Doom and Fallout look great. I found Sony disappointing. Guardian didn't interest me 7 years ago, or however long its been, and it doesn't look good now. Not a FF fan... Shen-who? (Seriously, never heard of it. And I'm not into Jap style stuff... So, pass). Robot dinosaurs look good, but not my thing. Uncharted looks like like more uncharted. Not a bad thing, but nothing to write home about.

Nintendo... I'm pretending that was a bad dream.

Re: Rumour: Wii U Exclusive ZombiU Could Plague PS4

daveh30

Zombi U was, and still is, the best example of what can be done with the gamepad... but thats really all it is. porting it to a system like the 4 or the One means stripping away its only worthwhile qualities, or at the very least making them exclusive to Vita / Smartglass owners. Whats left is a pretty ho-hum, generic zombie game...

Re: Review: Wander (PlayStation 4)

daveh30

Still interested in this one, but I'm gonna wait and see what happens with any patches or updates. I wanted this to be great, but feared it might be a little too ambitious. Hopefully they keep working to improve it.

Re: Apparently, People Buy PS4s Over Xbox Ones and Wii Us for the Resolution

daveh30

Not surprised you didn't publish the list of the top 5 reasons given for each console... It makes ps4/ xb1 owners look pretty dumb. Basically boils down to Wii U owners base their purchases on video games, PS4/ XB1 base their purchase on the belief that it makes them better than the idiots who bought the other console...

I bought my PS4 essentially because the 360 was unreliable. After going through multiple RRoD on 360's, I switched to PS3. When the time game to upgrade, I was already invested in PS ecosystem as PS3/ Vita owner...
