Re: PS4 Slim Sales Off to a Slow Start in the UK

mrobinson91

@fybyfyby only problem I can see with bundling everything together is how that cost is perceived by consumers. £350 Pro, £350 PSVR, £70 Move controller, £50 PsCamera...that bundle is going to be £700+ and maybe they don't want a product on the market for that much

Re: Hands On: Is Dragon Quest Builders Spades Better than Minecraft?

mrobinson91

I wasn't too sure about whether I'd be interested in this but after playing the demo I'm totally sold. Looks great, addictive gameplay and most of all it was lots of fun!

@Feena Vita version isn't getting a physical release in the West but there is an English version being made that can be imported from various websites. (play-asia).

Re: Hands On: Could Horizon: Zero Dawn Be Sony's Next Big Blockbuster?

This game is 100% buy for me, looks really good. I'm not going in with the idea it's going to be GOTY (that's reserved for Persona 5), but I think it'll be good.

I have to say I wasn't impressed with it running in 4K and actually didn't like the look of it at all on the monitor they had at EGX. Saying that I don't have a PS4 Pro or 4K TV so I don't really care, it'll look great on my OG PS4 too:)

Re: Poll: What Do You Think of Destiny: Rise of Iron?

mrobinson91

It's pretty good. Feels like a bit of a step back since TTK but I don't mind really. It doesn't feel at the moment like it has that much content to offer, even once you beat the 2 hours story. With regards the story it's always a shame that they have such potential but within 2 hours you go from being introduced to the threat to having completed it and become an Iron Lord.

Archon Forge is a mess in my opinion...so bad compared to CoO.

Fortunately for Destiny it's still a fantastic game and it's gameplay loop is so enjoyable that I can let things slide and enjoy the content. Looking forward to playing over the next month and hopefully completing the Raid

Re: Review: Assetto Corsa (PS4)

Comment section on this is brilliant. I love how angry people get about game reviews sometimes.

@kyleforrester87 Sims isn't about building houses? It's a game about finding the most interesting way to kill your Sims isn't it? Oh...maybe that was just me.

Re: Soapbox: Why Sony Needs to Change Its Refund Policy

mrobinson91

Most physical stores have the same refund policy on games...if the seal is broken they can't be returned if faulty. I do understand it can be frustrating, but when I buy a game I buy it knowing I'm taking a small risk it might be crap. We have a big community of gamers/reviews etc that we can go to before buying a game.

Re: Review: Inside (PS4)

mrobinson91

I enjoyed it but don't see it as a 10/10 (have no issues with you giving it one though).

The ending was a bit rubbish in my opinion and I don't quite think it's the masterpiece it's being touted as. I do think it's a great game but didn't think it offered anything new and I've preferred other platformers considerably more. Still worth playing though.

EDIT: Thought I'd say something positive...the atmosphere and art design are brilliant.

Re: PS2 Classic Ape Escape 2 Does the Monkey on PS4

mrobinson91

I watched the YouTube video on it and it looks like they've done a great job of the port, looks really nice. I've never actually played Ape Escape though and it doesn't actually look like a good game without the nostalgia behind it so I don't think I'll buy

Re: Talking Point: What PS4 Firmware Update 4.0 Features Do You Want?

mrobinson91

Maybe external HDD support & PS1 classics but can't think of anything else I'm that bothered about. I don't find the UI a problem as the games I last played are at the beginning of the list.

What I would like is a game stat section like they have on Xbox where it shows you time spent, progress of achievements and rank out of your friends.

Re: Rocket League's PS4-Xbox One Cross-Network Play Is Ready to Go

mrobinson91

If this is like PC cross play then it will only be private matches and Xbox players in the player pool. You won't be able to team up with your Xbox friends and play ranked or playlist games together. I'm sure for most people it makes this "almost" irrelevant but I could be wrong. There is also no party chat.

It's a start to something but I think there is a long way to go until people get the cross play experience they actually desire.

Re: Poll: Has Square Enix Enticed You with Rise of the Tomb Raider PS4's Extras?

mrobinson91

@johncalmc I was also going to buy anyway as thoroughly enjoyed the last one.

I think people are boycotting because Tomb Raider made it's name on playstation (about 15 years ago) and they decided to make the timed exclusive agreement with MS for money. People find it terrible that a company would do something for money over it's fan and are therefore boycotting it.

Re: Rocket League to Receive Paid Crate System

mrobinson91

@Kidfried The concurrent player base has been at around 100,000 pretty much from launch to today (excluding Xbox, not sure about PC). In fact they only recently hit their highest concurrent players.

They've said the loot boxes are to fund their championship series so I don't think it's to keep people playing

Re: Rocket League to Receive Paid Crate System

mrobinson91

Whilst I'm not personally bothered by this, it does seem like a strange decision (assuming there are reasons). The game has sold incredibly well on 3 platforms with DLC selling well on at least 2 of them....I'd have thought they'd earned enough money now without the need for "loot crates" (micro-transactions).

I'm also not that bothered as it's cosmetic.

Re: Review: 7 Days to Die (PS4)

mrobinson91

@xMEADx to be honest it seems like a lot of people are really like this game but yet it's reviewing quite poorly. I'm seeing a lot of people saying it's really fun so it's definitely not just you
