Already owned and played batman. I would be so happy if this wasn't the case. After watching a darksiders 3 review and seeing how it plays I'll probably never play it I have much better games in my backlog that I chose for myself like spider-man and farcry 5. It just doesn't look anywhere near the quality god if war which I'd rather play again
I enjoy playing blackout still with friends, I hope they still do 2 maps sizes as I really like the smaller close quarters alcatraz map. Which is probably the most unique fun I've had in a fps in years.
Seems like a good step forward if its displayed at the purchase screen. Personally I've never purchased a loot box of any description, but it would be interesting to see in games where you earn them in game what the odds are. I'm not bothered about how others spend their money if they're not game changing.
I've had wipout a while now so happy to jump back into multiplayer and try to look better than I am. And one of my friends said he'd play sniper elite 4 with me in coop so that should be fun.
I'm at work today trying to tye up all loose ends before I go off to menorca for a few weeks of all Inclusive fun. I've dusted off my Vita and charged it ready as it's not been in use since last year. I've only got tonight and tomorrow before we fly out and I don't want to start anything new so probably some crash team racing, soulcalibur 6, wipe out and a bit of black ops will see me through.
I tend to play a lot less, through so many different reasons. My wife is a teacher so she's off and stays up later, as do my teenage daughters. Also we always have every weekend booked up with drinking, bbqs, bars and the like. Add in we're always abroad on holiday for a few weeks. On the positive I do get to play my Vita once a year when away on holiday as I can never be bothered as rather play my ps4 when home.
I'll be dusting mine off today for its yearly use. For the last few years I've only used it while abroad on holiday, just don't get the Opportunity otherwise. I always find a game to get into though. I have the 64gb memory card and with all the plus games and the sale games I seemed to buy even though it has never been used much I have over 80 games most of which I've never played.
@Quintumply @East76landS The kill cams were removed as there was the usual Internet uproar that the hit detection was terrible. This is because even though cod has been going for years some people believe killcams are representative of actual live game play which it isn't as it uses much less data. Which can causes hit detection to look off. But when you see live feed it is spot on.
I'm working all weekend so if I'm lucky a few tracks of crash team racing and wipout and if the stars align I might get a few rounds of blackout in on the new modes with friends
Got a party heavy weekend, if i get any me time I'll probably get a few crash team racing laps in. Anyone else been watching year of the rabbit? I'm finding it so funny and blunt.
I hope so nex machina is still probably my favourite game this generation. And I've loved playing all their others as well. So it'd be a complete win for me.
I'm loving my time with crash team racing, didn't buy for a couple of days after release as I'd read the 7 review on here and noted the authors gripes with difficulty. We'll I can say my opinion is its really easy to get to grips with and it looks so beautiful and plays so well. I can't seem to pull myself away from it. It's so accessible and I can't wait to get my family playing with me. For sheer addictive gameplay I'd be hard pushed to not score it a 9.
Got the week off, and apart from a uni visit with my eldest daughter I hope to start and put a fair chuck of time into farcry 5. I really enjoyed the fourth in the series, just hope I don't get to over powered to soon like before. As half way through number 4 it just became to easy.
@JamieO
I got this with my then girlfriend when she first fell pregnant. We both love this game so much, and I can't believe this releases on her birthday. It's a 10 game for me all the way. If trophies had been invented I'd have got the platinum so many times over. Its funny how time has flown by, my daughter is currently learning to drive so hopefully I can get her addicted, it's hard to find much common interest with teenage daughters.
Seriously can't believe I've got wolfenstein 2 to finish. It's been great and I've probably got about 30mins left, so hopefully knock that out after work. I then hope to start farcry 5
Unfortunately for me I see many more issues than input control (not to mention there are already hacks that allow you to play m&k but think your using controller with aim assist). For instance on pc you have a field of view slider which is a massive advantage. Also some pc run the fame at 120 fps which in a competitive twitch shooter is an enormous advantage. Also currently the pc version of black ops 4 has hacks whereas currently neither the ps4 or xbox 1 version have been hacked yet. I'm happy for cross play but would love a option to opt out. I enjoy the walled garden of the ps4 and what that brings in consistent gaming and fairness
After patch 6.70 my ps4 kept crashing and I had to rebuild the database. To be fair it's now the smoothest and fastest it's been in a long while, so I may wait to see how this one goes and not jump straight in. But i guess the reason it so smooth and fast is because I did rebuild the data base which I've decided I'll probably do monthly going forwards as I didn't know how much it helped, I'd definitely recommend it
Been back playing the Alcatraz blackout map on call of duty again since its been put back on. And when I'm playing solo I'll be on wolfenstein 2. Not going to lie as the sun warms up I spend most the summer drinking at parties pubs and bbqs. June July and August I get very little gaming time
@ShogunRok I did a rebuild database, that fixed for me. A fully factory reset would be a real pain. I'd recommend trying database rebuild first save downloading everything again
@Frigate exactly the same issue on my pro. I had to rebuild my database. It's been a real pain especially as my wife and kids are away. Still I hadn't rebuilt the database for years so that's made it much faster than it was
@redd214 @clvr I personally didn't down vote you guys, but I'm certainly not tribal and immature like you suggest for not wanting cross play on a cod title. As someone who plays them regularly for their multiplayer fix, you can literally play any of the games on any system over the last decade and get a game instantly so that benefit does not exist for me, add in playing against pc on keyboard and mouse, you would be delusional to think a controller could compete. Just read any of the patch notes the games are not even balanced the same. Having said that if I had the option to turn off cross play I'd be OK with it being there.
@wiiware That's exactly what I want, the ability to turn it off. I certainly won't be playing if I have to compete with pc players on keyboard and mouse
@BridgeToClarity It's definitely funny. Just took me a while to get into it. Also surviving decapitation put a smile on my face even though I saw it coming with the cat monkey earlier.
I'm still playing through wolfenstein 2,i thought with the reviews it got and the fact I loved the first I'd have enjoyed this from the off. This hasn't been the case. It's taken me to the midway point to be really enjoying it. This may be because I set my hype meter to high, but also it does start slowly and the weapon switching with dual wield is a bit more of a chore. But still having great fun now
Just got started on wolfenstein 2 last week so going to push through with that. It's already going to be one of my favourite games I've played this year.
I'm going to get going on wolfenstein 2 later tonight. Bit burnt-out on open world games, and just want some fun focused gaming with no repetitive filler quests or slow bits. Hope u can dual wield, shotguns and rifles like the last one.
Happy for people that get value out of plus. I personally only have time for the games I buy. I get the odd discount as I only buy digital. And I get a pretty smooth online experience. So I'm still happy with my lot.
@Quintumply Please can you do a twin stick shooter top 10? It would be tragic for nex machina to win nothing this gen. Or any smaller more niche top 10's
@playstation1995 Funnily enough the next step change after 8k will be 11k. The technology is already prototyped. At 11k the detail is great enough the viewing becomes naturally 3D. Without the need for silly glasses. Word up son, roll on the future technologies
@Gremio108 Have you played the Vita version? Wondered if it's worth playing again on ps4, I think we got it on plus so I have access. I really enjoyed it on the Vita but not sure I'll like a change to input controls
Still going through god of war maybe 30 or so hours in. Not sure what I've got left. I bought wipout a few weeks ago now and still haven't touched it even though I really want to, so hopefully I'll be able to have a break from God of war
