Re: Review: The Last Guardian (PS4)

@get2sammyb I see that quite a few reviews berate the camera control and the fact that inside building views can be blocked. Have you experienced anything like this and is it really that bad, or just slightly annoying?

Re: Talking Point: Why Are Fall's Biggest Blockbusters Flopping?

stupidget

All the games listed at the top of this article have no appeal to me whatsoever. These days I'm just looking to play games that entertain me. I played the demo of Outlast 2 the other day and I thought "I'm just finding this too stressful and not enjoyable"!! I finished Ratchet and Clank the other day and the entire experience just made me feel like I did when playing R&C on my PS2, just bloody good fun.

For me, this generation's games that I've enjoyed are:
Elder Scrolls on-Line
Everybody's gone to the rapture
The Last of Us
Ratchet & Clank

At the moment I'm only really looking forward to The Last Guardian to be honest. If it can capture any of the joy I got from playing Ico then I'll be one happy b4stard!!

Way to go with mocking mental health and senile dementia! Lets all sit back and point and laugh at mental health issues like a bunch of inbred victorians at a freak show!

@Quintumply

I suppose with Inside there was never a huge amount of 'stuff' going on all at once on screen. Bar the amazing lighting effects and being chased by dogs and guards, most of the time you we're alone.

With regards to the ending......What the absolute Feck was that all about?!?!?!? Amazing game though

Re: Poll: It's Time to Have Your Say on No Man's Sky

stupidget

@Drawfull you need to 'discover' the creature first by pressing L2 and analyze the creature. Once you've done that you can press the Options button and then move the icon over the creature you've just discovered. There is then an option to Rename and Upload. You can do this with trees and plants as well.

Re: Poll: It's Time to Have Your Say on No Man's Sky

stupidget

I've only just realised that you can find abandoned ship, which you can then fix-up and use!!! I've just broken into an abandoned plant of some sort by blowing the doors off and then finding some blueprints. Even with this early release of the game there is far more to do than I though there'd be. It's simply brilliant.

Oh, and I fed my first creature today and when you do that, said creature get's a Smiley icon over it

Re: Guide: 10 No Man's Sky PS4 Tips for Beginner Space Explorers

stupidget

I'm loving this game so far. I've played for a couple of hours now and to be honest simply roaming around a planet, finding aliens to speak with, visiting a space station and discovering flora and fauna is brilliant. You make loads of units by simply discovering new creatures and areas and uploading them.

Re: Siren: Blood Curse May Be Sightjacking PS4

stupidget

Blood Curse was one of my favourite games on the PS3. It was as mad as a bucket of frogs, creepy as fook and boat loads of fun. An upgraded PS4 version would be excellent. Maybe not the episodic drip-feed that we got with the PS3 version though.

Re: Review: Firewatch (PS4)

stupidget

@get2sammyb Thanks for the heads-up, I'll give this a miss then unless it ends up being free on PSN. EGTTR is now one of my all time favourite games and an absolute gem when it comes to story and emotions.

Re: Check Your Emails, Tomorrow Children

stupidget

Hhmm, just had a quick play on this. You're basically a Russian child who's survived some sort of global 'failed experiment' and society has to be built again from scratch. You have to mine for minerals and help build things, get assigned tasks by the Ministry of Labour and build stuff. You're basically a slave. It's not really my cup of tea and the whole Communist Russia setting seems really oppressive to me and a bit miserable (not that Communist Russia was renowned for being hive of humour and entertainment). Think Terraria, Minecraft with dark Communist Russia undertones.

Re: Big Changes Are Coming to The Elder Scrolls Online in 2016

stupidget

Can't wait for the Dark Brotherhood update!!! The whole Dark Brotherhood quests in Skyrim were simply amazing. The only thing I'd have an issue with is the fact that you may need to kill somebody stealthily in their bed and you're there skulking about being all quiet and some armour clad player comes in jumping about or stand there dancing. It would kill the atmosphere somewhat

Re: Soapbox: Why Everybody's Gone to the Rapture Is 2015's Scariest Game

This is a message I sent to Chinese Room. I felt I had to as it was just an amazing experience....
Email Address: [email protected]

Message: Hi,

I just wanted to drop you a message to give everybody involved in EGTTR a
massive 'Well Done & Thank You'!!! I finished the game last night and once
the credits had rolled I just sat looking at my Vita (I had to play it on
Remote Play as my missus was watching The Only Way is Essex!!!!).

At the tender age of 42 I can quite honestly say that no other game has
ever affected me in the way that EGTTR did. Since playing games on my
Speccy back in 1984 I've never taken such an emotional hit as I did last
night. At several points I completely forgot that I was playing a game. I
became so immersed in what was happening that I simply had to know what was
going to happen to these poor people. I cared/disliked (delete as
applicable) every single one of the characters I came across. The 3
stand-out points for me were 1-where the young woman was sat on the stage
singing to her baby, 2 - Where Frank was up by the Windmill talking to Mary
and 3 - where Lizzie was talking to Stephen on the phone at the station and
said 'Oh there's some planes flying over.....'. Each one was just
unbelievably powerful....

As you can see I was a kid in the 80's living in a small village in
Staffordshire and your attention to detail was just superb. From the
electronic Simon game, the rubix cube, the phones, the BT phone boxes, the
commodore 64s (spit, terrible machines!!), the cars (Granadas, Fiestas,
Transit vans, Cortinas) through to the brilliant BMX's, the bulky mobile
phones, the TV's, the 80's decor in the houses and to the brilliant view of
the BMX lying next to a jump made from a piece of wood and some bricks!!!
It's almost as if you'd downloaded my memories from 1980 through to 1987!!

Finally (it's all getting a bit creepy now isn't it?) I'd like to say how
amazing the sound and music was during the entire game. The bird sounds
just reminded me of walking through fields whilst on holiday in Tenby in
Wales. The choral music and effects matched to each and every section of
the game and made it even more of an emotional trip.

Thanks you to everybody involved, it was one hell of a trip

Cheers,

Stu..

Re: Disaster Report 4 Plus Escapes a Burning Building on PS4

stupidget

@get2sammyb I had I am Alive on Ps3 and initially thought it was brilliant, but, the total lack of direction of where you were supposed to go just got too much for me and I gave up. It could have quite easily been something akin to TLOU but it just lacked that special 'something'. The toxic smoke/dust was a good idea, but, when you just stumble around aimlessly walking into walls and then dying as you run out of oxygen just made it too hard for me.

Re: Review: The Talos Principle: Deluxe Edition (PS4)

stupidget

@TheMightyPunram Thanks, just going to download it now . Having just finished Metro Redux (both 2033 and Last Light) and spent far too many hours playing Elder Scroll On-Line I really fancy something a bit more esoteric.

On a side note, if you like Myst type games I'd highly recommend playing Everybody's gone to the Rapture. I finished it last week and I absolutely loved it.

Re: It's Weird to See Fallout 4 on a Vita Screen

stupidget

I'm always using Remote Play on my Vita whilst my missus watches 'The only way is Essex' or the horrendous 'Come dine with me'!! The major issues I have is that the wi-fi is awful on the Vita and I almost have to be sat on top of my Wi-Fi AP for it work well. I've turned off 'Wifi powersave mode' and it's still pretty poor. The games I've played that work well are 'Everybody's Gone to the Rapture', 'FFXIX' and 'DriveClub'. Even with poor wifi I think it's a fantastic addition to a great machine.

Watch the language -Tasuki-

Re: Naughty Dog's Brainstormed Lots of The Last of Us 2 Ideas

stupidget

I'd like to see how the contagion started, the effect it had on society and it's eventual downfall. It'd be great to be given the option to either play as a government 'goon' trying to keep order and keep society going or as an anarchic rebellious type trying to destroy society so it can start afresh.

Re: The PSN Is Undergoing Scheduled Maintenance Next Week

stupidget

@glassmusic Yep, with you 100% there. i think it's a great service and a damn site more reliable that Virgin! For what we are charged I think the level of service is excellent. In relative terms we're getting a Gold/Platinum service for basically the cost of a Bronze level. Some businesses I work with would love the same level of reliability from their ISP.

Re: Is This Redesigned PS4 User Interface an Improvement?

stupidget

To be honest I tend to spend hardly any time in the actual menu. I fire up the pS4 and either go into NetFlix/Amazon/BBC or play a game. And that's pretty much it. I'm probably the only person in the entire universe who actually like the location of the new PS Store icon. Since it's moved it works every time, whereas before it would sometimes fail to connect and I'd have to stop/start my PS4's internet connection.

Re: No Man's Sky Discovers a New Gameplay Trailer That's Short but Sweet

stupidget

My only concern with NMS is the potential lack of interaction with other players or NPC's. I realise you can trade, but, i get the impression that this will be purely system based rather than visiting an actual store/trader. It would also be great if you could explore some of the ruins that have been shown in various demo's to get an idea of an extinct race from 1000's of years ago. I'm not saying it'll be boring, because how can being able to tour the entire universe be boring, it just might starting feeling somewhat lonely without speaking to another being for light-years at a time!!!

Re: In Japan, Sony Will Engrave Your PS Vita for a Fee

stupidget

I know people knock the Vita, but, I absolutely love mine. Whilst my missus is watching some colossal pile of shite like Big Brother or TOWIE I can be whisked away to far off lands like Tamriel and spend hours killing things with my sparkling staff of nasty-ness

Re: Guide: What Is The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited Exactly?

stupidget

I'm absolutely loving this game. I've been playing alone for most of the time, but, yesterday I had an epiphany with regards to the whole MMO experience. Basically I needed to enter a cave and kill some nasty guy! At the same time there were about 3 other people doing the same quest and without any niggly chit-chat or messaging we all piled in and beat the sh1+ out of the evildoer!! What I loved about this was the fact that I wasn't forced to join this group, we just happened to be doing the same thing at the same time. We killed Mr.Nasty, looted his body and went our separate ways. It was brilliant
