I have tried some. For MH it didnt convince me to buy but I wasnt planning to anyway.
Usually with betas and demos it puts me off from buying or since I always wanted the game it is an early access. The open weekend for Overwatch convinced me to buy it although I barely play it now.
Dont care about DB so Dissidia for me. Kudos to SE for doing a long beta and also for adding variety and a surprise element to keep people checking it and playing.
They did that with the first two and then dropped it. Pretty dumb as few people will give so much FM for a character they may not like, specially the new ones.
I love both Crash and Soul Calibur games but Crash as a character is at best bland and at worst annoying. And Dante is a Kamiya character. Isaac is named after two great writers and I prefer Sol over Cole.
SFV: raking in some FM before things change with Arcade Mode. I have now enough for 3 characters without touching online battles. @Shonenjump86 and @Feena were right, there were many ways to get FM. Thanks!
Yooka Laylee: I just expanded the 4th world. Either things changed or idc because it has been fun. Not Odyssey fun of course but close.
Binding of Isaac: beat the Chest for the first time. Now I can fight the angels.
Splatoon 2: ranked matches and League Battles with the Octobrush Nouveau.
Overcooked: got every single star in the main game, we are now wrapping up the DLC content. Boy is this game fun in co op.
They dont lose a sale since gifting would mean that you buy the game (again if you already own it) and give it to a friend. As you would with a physical game.
If after that your friend likes it and there is DLC available he/she could buy the DLC so Sony always wins.
Something I hate is when you are browsing a long list of deals and around the middle you see something nice and add it to the cart. Then they kick you back at the beginning of the long list.
It was the right choice for their plans. Since the console is portable it needed smaller media and a friendlier architecture to attract more developers. So far it seems that has paid off for them.
But the stat tracking has nothing to do with that as it is mostly software based. 3DS still excels in that area over both Wii U and Switch.
I want PS1 support and stat tracking. Seeing how long I have played my games is almost a game itself. As @Wazeddie22 mentions, since Wii all Nintendo consoles do that and I love it, although Switch is a step backwards in this regard.
Not interested myself in the other things. But for the umpteenth time, if I am downloading a game let me pause/resume the status from the game icon itself, instead of going to Notifications.
I still dont believe this one will make it on 2018, that it will live up to expectations and that Sega will ever release/allow remasters of the originals.
2017 was a great year for gaming in general. Overall I agree that PS4 gets the most varied repertory with great exclusives, Western AAA, Japanese games, indies and now VR. I just happen to enjoy Switch's offerings too.
Another Mario and another Zelda, yet they are the freshest installments in years and both were GOTY contenders. One can say Kratos March game is just another GOW but it looks very fresh and different.
I agree with the article that surprises are nice. Shenmue 3 and FFVIIR were huge surprises years ago and they worked, even if still in development.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 202
I will be playing SFV for the last bits of FM, The Evil Within 2 and Taiko Drum Master.
Tomorrow is my birthday and I will go to a friend's house to try Fire Emblem Warriors.
Re: Rumour: God of War Release Date Leak Points to 22nd March Again
@get2sammyb
I forgot this one is Norse instead of Greek. Even if Kratos stil sounds like a greek name
@Octane Also Janus, but none of those were the GoW
Re: Rumour: God of War Release Date Leak Points to 22nd March Again
@get2sammyb
I was actually thinking Tuesday. Tiw's Day. Tiw was identified with Mars.
Tuesday is Martes, Mardi, Martedì in other languages, again pointing to Mars. And aren't usually games released on Tuesdays?
Re: Rumour: God of War Release Date Leak Points to 22nd March Again
March: from Latin Martius, Mars. Mars is the Roman God of War.
Confirmed month, now we just need to nail the exact day.
Re: Crash Bandicoot Outsells Destiny 2 at UK Retail in 2017
Crash beat Destiny? Take that, Activ.... nvm lol
In all seriousness, good news for colourful platformers.

Re: Fe May Ship with Some Form of In-Game Purchases
MT or not, I avoid everything EA related. Sorry Zoink.
Re: Feature: Our Most Anticipated PS4 Games of 2018
Not sure if TLOU2, KH3 and Shenmue 3 will make it this year.
So RDR2, Spiderman and Dreams for me.

Re: Persona 3, Persona 5 Characters Get Some Crazy Makeovers in Dancing Moon and Star Night
Whoops, is this Push Square or Seig Heil?
I wonder if they will have Miku crossovers too?
Re: Street Fighter V's Sakura Will Be Free for a Week
@Bliquid

I was getting Sakura anyway but I won't complain.
Re: Japanese Sales Charts: PS4 Gets a Healthy New Year Boost
@themcnoisy
Lol I am the opposite. For me Arms got old so fast while I have put 35 hours into Odyssey and still have so much to do.
As of late I play my PS4 way more since this December we got so many great games on sale. Still go back to Splatoon and Odyssey regularly though.
Re: Horizon: Zero Dawn Sweeps the PlayStation Blog Awards
Nice to see it winning prizes.
Re: Waifus Go to War in SNK HEROINES Tag Team Frenzy
I love SNK but this is bottom of the barrel stuff.
Re: Japanese Sales Charts: PS4 Gets a Healthy New Year Boost
You people making fun of X but Wii U and PS3 didnt chart so you know who is the king now
Shortages for Switch are truly gone and people are picking up all those old games as if Switch launched a month ago. Even 1-2 Switch and Arms.
Re: Sony Wraps Up NA Holiday Sale with Fifth Week of Xmas Offers
Gonna check but I still haven't downloaded, let alone played all the games I bought last month. Very happy with these sales.
Re: Guide: Upcoming PS4 Japanese Games in 2018
Some pretty good games are coming. And I feel it is more probable for KH3 than Shenmue 3 to release this year. And to live up to the hype.
Re: Poll: Ultimate PlayStation Character Tournament: Round 1 - Matches 45-48
@KingSandyRavage
I get your point and your avatar is a great example. If Batman stars in many videogames, is he a videogame character?
Re: Poll: Ultimate PlayStation Character Tournament: Round 1 - Matches 45-48
Sol, Mitsurugi, Isaac and Dante.
I love both Crash and Soul Calibur games but Crash as a character is at best bland and at worst annoying. And Dante is a Kamiya character. Isaac is named after two great writers and I prefer Sol over Cole.
Re: Dissidia Final Fantasy NT Blasts Into Open Beta This Week on PS4
Nice to see long beta periods. Will definitely try it.
Re: Don't Expect to Unlock Dissidia Final Fantasy NT's Platinum Trophy
Some devs make trophies while others make trollies.
Re: New Screenshots From Devil May Cry HD Collection on PS4 Aren't That Stylish
Sticking to the PS3 collection.
Re: Japanese Sales Charts: It's Been a Quiet Christmas for PlayStation
This is like the total opposite of the UK charts, where you barely see Switch games.
Just one new release in the whole chart.
Re: de Blob 2 Brings Even More Colour to PS4 Next Month
So they could have just released them as a collection and be done with it. Now we will get the De Blob Collection in May?
Oh yes, combo breaker
Re: UK Sales Charts: FIFA 18 Kicks off 2018 at No.1
There is never anything out of the ordinary here.
Re: Crash Bandicoot PS4 Trilogy Director Working on an Unannounced Project
I'd rather have Spyro if those two are the only options. Or the biggest ones.
Re: Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition Update Hits PS4 a Couple of Days Early
Makes sense since we have already paid and waited for this.
I just gotta beat easy Survival with 4 characters and then try to complete trials to get as much FM as I can.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 201
I have been playing a lot recently:
SFV: raking in some FM before things change with Arcade Mode. I have now enough for 3 characters without touching online battles. @Shonenjump86 and @Feena were right, there were many ways to get FM. Thanks!
Yooka Laylee: I just expanded the 4th world. Either things changed or idc because it has been fun. Not Odyssey fun of course but close.

Re: What Happens When You Show Shadow of the Colossus to a Kid?
@DerMeister
I wish I had skipped the PS3 remaster and started with this new one. If this remake corrects the issues I had I will gladly take it.

Ok tell that to Push Square

Re: Sony Didn't Really Want Another God of War Game
As with others here, I am interested because it looks different.
I would love to see a Mayan, or probably more Aztec GoW. Lots of cool, bloody gods there.
Re: Feature: 5 Ways the PlayStation Store Must Improve in 2018

He had an argument with one of the mods (you probably know who) and decided to go. He still comments on NL though.

Re: Poll: Is 2018 Looking Bright for PlayStation?
RDR2 and Spiderman are my highlights. Hoping TLOU2 does not get delayed to 2019.
Re: Take Down the Nergigante in Third Monster Hunter: World Beta Test on PS4
Oh wow they added a quest. They should have done that last time.
Re: Guide: The Best PS4 Local Multiplayer Games
Indeed Lovers should be here. That and Overcooked are great fun.
Re: Guide: The Best PS4 Games
@Fight_Teza_Fight
I dont think this list is intended to represent genres. Rhythm games are also absent.

Re: Guide: The Best PS4 Games
I have like 11 of these. But forget it, I am not buying GTAV and I am not liking Resogun.

Re: Monster Hunter: World Will Push PS4 Sales in Japan, Says Former Famitsu Editor
It sounds too high a number so I doubt it.
Beta was nice but I am not getting it. I will be playing the long overdue SFV Arcade mode by then.

For a month, then. But Wii U doesnt have Odyssey
Re: Platinum Games' Next Title Could've Been a Princess Clothing Making Game
I welcome anything new by them. Or a sequel to W101.
Re: LawBreakers Publisher Blames PUBG for Poor Sales
Trailer looked so cliched and boring, like it was trying so hard to be like Overwatch. Blaming the "competition" is a cheap cop out.

Re: Poll: Ultimate PlayStation Character Tournament: Round 1 - Matches 41-44
Ellie, B.J., Cortex and Bayonetta.
@neolit
Bayo collection releases in a month, plus having Bayo 3 in the pipeline makes Switch the winner.
