Re: First Impressions: Forcing Our Way to the Front Line in Star Wars Battlefront on PS4

mrobinson91

I had about an hour on the beta last night and I'm still not sold on it. Whilst it does look the part, I just think there is something missing for me. The mode I enjoyed the most was Drop Zone mode, although I think after a few hours it would get a bit repetitive. The survival was okay, although you don't get the sense of being in a battle but they may appeal to some people.

I didn't spend much time on the 20v20 as I gave up after 5 minutes and being killed from all different angles...my fault!

Re: Yep, Destiny Is Getting Microtransactions

@ShogunRok We'll have to wait and see, but hopefully we'll see more free content or good value content. I personally stopped playing for about 6 months but TTK has brought me back and it seems like they are trying to deliver what people want. Fingers Crossed!

@ShogunRok The article itself is balanced so my comments were more for people who were jumping on the "I hate Destiny" bandwagon.
I personally don't mind as long as I can still play and enjoy the game without paying anything extra.

In all fairness to ESO it does have 3747958593747494 hours of content too!!!!

Re: Yep, Destiny Is Getting Microtransactions

@banacheck Game development costs have increased drastically and so have the average salary over the last 15 years and yet new games are almost the same price off the shelves...so DLC and micro-transactions are a way of these companies still making money.
I know people really like hating on EA, Ubisoft, Destiny because it's cool to hate big corporations but they are there to make money.

Re: Yep, Destiny Is Getting Microtransactions

*Cue hate for Destiny.

ESO is one of the best games I've played and has had 2 x £15 expansions in a few months, a £10 subscription if you want and countless VERY expensive items from the store and yet it's not cool to hate on ESO is it?

Whilst they are just selling cosmetic stuff, who really cares...? Nobody is forcing you to buy.

Re: Opinion: PS4 Firmware Update 3.00 Is One Step Forward, Two Steps Back

mrobinson91

Totally agree about the friend groups, I created loads of groups assuming it was just filters so I could see who was on with certain games but I ended up creating loads of message groups which I imagine annoyed some people.

On the whole it's not a bad update but just missing any of the features you would have expected from a 3.0 release.

Re: PS4 Firmware Update 3.00 Rolls Out Tomorrow

mrobinson91

I had the beta of this and to be honest I didn't really use many of the features other than favourite friends. Really hope they add customised friend online notifications soon although surprised it's not in this big 3.0 one.

It also makes me think we'll be waiting for 4.0 for PS2/PS1 games if we ever get them.

Re: PS4 Firmware Update 3.00 Beta Invitations Are Out

mrobinson91

Having played about with this new update, my feelings on it are mixed. The 10GB limit is obviously great.
The addition of communities is really good to but currently no way to search, no official communities and no language filters.
Grouping friends is a feature I really wanted, but for some reason when I group them it starts a group conversation too. Not what I wanted really but ok.
Psplus app is pretty good, happy with that.
Ability to add comments to friends activity is nice too.

TLDR....some good, some need work.

Re: Soapbox: Here's Why I Will Be Playing Journey on PS4

mrobinson91

@THIS_SITE_SUCKS I have no issue with you thinking it craps and it's a bit annoying everyone taking this stance where they feel they are mentally superior to you because they "got it" and you didn't.

Personally I absolutely loved it...but you are entitled to your opinion.

Re: Review: Journey (PS4)

mrobinson91

I played it for the first time last night and I'd say it easily deserves it's 10 out of 10...such a fantastic experience and the online "feature" was such a surprise for me and really took it to the next level for me. Won't spoil it for those who haven't played but loved it!!!
Their games really have gotten so much better each time...Flow was okay, Flower was great and Journey is a real masterpiece. Can't wait to see what they are working on now.

Re: July's Free PlayStation Plus Games Include Rocket League and Entwined on PS4

mrobinson91

This is just some of the titles we've had in the last year...people seem to have short memories about how much good stuff we get

Dishonored, Sherlock Holmes, Rogue Legacy,Yakuza 4, Thief, Prototype 2, Hitman HD, Batman Arkham Asylum, NBA 2K14, Crysis 3, Dead Space 3, Trine,Injustice, Binding of Isaac, First Light, Valiant Hearts, MGS, Rocket League, Styx, Lego Batman, Lego HP, Killzone Mercenary.

Not every month is going to be to your liking but that doesn't mean the service we get is poor

Re: PS4 Players Are Demanding a Better PSN

mrobinson91

@whywai88 well actually we have seen quite a few instances over the last few years where using a # on Twitter has made companies change what they are doing. Even in the last few days...

Destiny reverse descision on stupid new user DLC and Batman pulled from PC and Rocksteady apologising. Both of these happened because of the power of gamers voices being heard

Re: PS4 Players Are Demanding a Better PSN

mrobinson91

@Mxpxboy Again I have 50mb fibre and if I plug a laptop in I get 50mb download but through the PS4 I get 25.

Also, there are issue at the moment. I can normally download a 35GB game in about 3 hours but I've currently left Driveclub installing, 25GB, and it's so far been running for about 13 hours and only about half way through...so there are defintely issues.

Re: DriveClub: PS Plus Edition Is Free to Download on PS4 Now

mrobinson91

I tend to buy physical to be honest, like you say you can't sell on digital (although I was confident I'd like the Witcher I did DL that)

It is difficult to define whether games obtained whilst in PS+ are free. We pay for a subscription to Ps Plus subscription. As a result of that we can obtain certain games for "free" (without cost or payment). Some will argue that they are included in your subscription and are consequently not free.

Either way, I find it's good value for money.
