Sure, let's buy this game for a 7th time!

I will definitely have to try and see if a higher FPS will help alleviating some of the vertigo and nausea I get playing DOOM. It's weird, no other FPS makes me queasy.

@thefourfoldroot I think that's the problem: the game doesn't seem to know what it wants to be... Anthem ended up like that.

@sanderson72 Wait... what?? No local coop? I was about to pull the trigger on this one just for the local coop!!

Fooled me twice, not gonna happen again.

Well this turned our to be a butched promotional event. I went through all the hoops, only to find out that they give you ONE redeemable code. So now I have the house sigils (which I do not care for) and I'm unable to download the PS4 Theme (which is what I really wanted). Bravo to the marketing team...

@DrKameren Thanks!

Is there a TL;DR of Kotaku's post? I appreciate Schreier's efforts, but there's no way I'm reading a novel just to know how the Titanic sank.

@Ironwright Fair enough, and I think you're right. Anthem's demo played like an afterthought: a messy private beta, with barely any context, a very convoluted menu and bunch of bugs. TD2 demo/beta was well planned and, while TD1 was a launch disaster, the game evolved quite nicely and it shows that the team behind TD2 cares about players' experience.

Not knowing too much about this game, I've purchased The Division a few weeks ago as it was on special (like $30 including all expansions). The game is good looking, combat is quite responsive but frustration built up as it felt like all the mobs were bullet sponges. So I did a quick search which basically told me that it's far better now than what it used to be...!? I cannot even begin to understand how bad it must have been at launch. I understand this is to be considered a RPG, but there are some darn limits to how many bullet I can snipe someone in the head before I lose my suspension of disbelief. I really hope The Division 2 does better, and reading about the title, it should. But like many, I think I'm going to hold for proper reviews before I pull the trigger on this one.

@Bad-MuthaAdebisi I got the season pass and after spending 10 hours with the new "content", I've now moved on. Forsaken was great, the forges... no so much. Bungie tried something new with this, which is commendable. But drip-feeding content like an I.V. is unfortunately not going to keep the patient alive for long. Reddit's sub has never been so active, but it's no longer people commenting on content, but rather on issues that have yet to be fixed since launch (bug, exploits and PvP matchmaking for instance). Fair to say that we got a good bang for the buck, but I'd be surprised to see Destiny 3 be the salvation of this declining franchise.

@tomassi the one I played on mobile phone was anything but boring. it's a pretty tough game tbh

Please tell me this has couch coop?

That was awesome, thank you for the good laughs!

They better include couch coop, or many of us will simply skip this title.

Hunting the Barons was probably the most fun I've had with Destiny 2 so far.

@LaNooch1978 Careful, this is a turn based game, not action.

Holy mother of God, my wife is not going to see me for months!

Hope the controls aren't going to be as clunky as the first one.

Eff Yeaaaah!!! Wifey gave me the first one with a birthday card that said "I understand, see you in a couple of months, love"

@Rick_Deckard The Ravens took the life out of me, I had to use YouTube guides

I've platinum'd the game yesterday, my very first. I just couldn't get enough of this game. Glad they're giving us a reason to come back!

Overcooked was absolutely hated in my household, too frustrating. The Escapists 2 was far too punishing to be enjoyable. Mugsters better be fun.

Titanfall 2: switching back and forth between time, this was a game changer, so much so that I would have loved to have more of it.

Doom: my favorite by far. A remake done just right!

@3MonthBeef Destiny 2 has been in trouble for quite a while, free weekend is like one of the last nail in the coffin.

Would have loved a couch coop

oh hey, yet another WW2 FPS game... sigh

@NathanUC Same here. Reviews were great so I bought the game to play with wifey and friends. We all hated it and no fun was gained.

@Salt_AU And how is that different than, let’s say, Zelda games? I’m not against tough games, but like many, i do not enjoy constant punishment. When I have to go online to find ways to cheese fight a boss, then it’s safe to say that this game, as great as it is for others, is not for me.

@KirbyTheVampire I'm surprised you didn't get trolled by the community to tell you to "git gud" yet. It's a shame, I think I could have liked both Bloodborne and the DS series, but I kinda have a life and getting good at gaming isn't exactly at the top of my priorities. I bought both games and returned them after a few weeks. Thankfully, there are other games out there that respect the "casual" players like us.

@Rudy_Manchego Miffed is too small of a word to express my discontent. I've already bough Skyrim CE twice (PS3 + PS4), isn't this enough for Bethesda to consider me a good client?

Exactly the kind of games that my wife enjoys. If she hears of this game, I'll never have access to my PS4 again -.-

@smythelove Same here. Wifey and I really wanted to like this game, but "tedious" is the word I would use to describe the game.

@get2sammyb "We've no idea why it's taking The Witcher developer CD Projekt RED so long"

Just a thought: maybe it's because they want to release a quality product? CD Projekt RED doesn't make shovelware.

Hate myself for loving this game. Got out about a year ago. Other games are just as fun, without the drama involved. For D2, no matchmaking for raids will be a deal breaker for many.

This video is private >.<

Looks like a lot of fun and got me all excited... until I found out there's no couch co-op!!?

Probably no couch coop?

"This industry just loves to build things up, doesn't it?"

Yes and media sites like yours are playing a big part of it.

I love roguelikes, but some are just unfair. How brutal is this one? How does it compare, if at all, with Don't Starve? I liked that game, but the visuals did not work for me. Cheers!

Did not have one crash before this update... now can't play more than 5 minutes. Bethesda is aggravating -.-

Half baked product. Glad I didn't pre-order...

Warhammer End Times Vermintide?

@fybyfyby

"But in the end Im glad sony made pro because microsoft is making scorpio, so there will be adequate competition on both sides."

I'm a true Sony fanboy but I'm starting to have doubts. I have a 4k UHD TV so yes I care about my console pushing everything it can... including a darn UHD disk player.

@Neolit Alienation plays very smoothly, even with the bumper triggers to shoot. I can't say that I'm as engaged in Alienation as I was in Dead Nation. Don't get me wrong, the new game is eons forward in terms of gameplay and graphics, but it's definitely missing the "oh shi..." moments that were present in the slower paced Dead Nation. Nevertheless, Alienation is still a good game.

Could have been epic if couch coop
