This is a great decision. Lets be honest here people do not really give a sh*t whether its gambling or not they just hate the idea of loot boxes that are paid for. Buy if you want them if you do not agree with them then boycott all games where this occurs.
No issue with them in games. They have never ruined the experience for me. Happy to support games beyond the initial purchase. Games companies are not charities and they are not forcing anyone to buy them. Vote with your wallet if you do not support this practice by boycotting the games. Or buy them 2nd hand and really stick two fingers up at them.
I have no issue with season passes the extra content is of good quality here and provides 100's of hours of extra play time. If payers want the extra content with base games then they should be prepared to pay extra for the core game.
Including extra maps and all that in Titanfall 2 worked really well for them...
If Sony was in the same position they would do exactly the same. I do not have an issue with this. Sony could have struck up a deal with PUBG for what ever reason they did not so these are the consequences.
I do no think it will effect sales when it does come out on PS4 it does not have any competition only Forntite which is free to play.
The friends list is good I use that to divide up people depending on where I have met them. Notifications good. Lots of smaller features refining whats good already, well done Sony
The pawn is such a great feature of this game I really wish it was introduced to other RPG's. Will definatly pick this up loved it on PS3. The only thing I did not enjoy was the amount of walking and the way fast travel was handled.
Fortine has done PUBG a massive favour. Its introduced the genre to PS4 gamers and its free. Meaning people are not spending money on it and those people who enjoy this will love PUBG even more.
I do no think there is any rush for PUBG to come to PS4. If anything waiting a longer period would be better more people will have tried Fortnite and got a taste for this genre of game. I am also doubtful how well it will run on the base PS4 and xbox.
Waiting 6 months or a year does not really matter. No one is spending money on buying Fortnite and there are not any other battle royale games on the horizon for PS4.
I am also curious how well it will run on consoles.
For me the amount of time I spend on a game is irrelevant. If i enjoy the experience then I am happy whether its 5 hours or a 1,000. But different people put a different weighting on price layed per hour.
I would also say single player games are bought and resold a lot more therefore the market for single player games is distorted in a physical game sense.
Played PUBG and enjoyed it for what it is. Fortnite is what PUBG would have been like if Disney had created it.
What makes me laugh is because of PUBG comments that has made people even more aware of Fortnite Battle Royale therefore driving more people to it.
Its a game anyone can pick up and within a few minutes understand all the mechanics.
PUBG will do very well on consoles when ever it comes. Its a more polished experience but this is a good stop gap. Bcause its seems pretty apparent a lot of the other games of this genre are not making it to PS4.
The Playstation plus has nothing to do with Gravity 2 servers. It for access to online gameplay and other features. The fee is not there to prop up games Sony or otherwise. If a game does not do very well or is not getting the players what is the point in keeping the servers running?
I do not have a problem with creation club its a way to generate additional money for the devs. If someone does not want to buy it then do not. The market will dictate if this suceeds or not.
Unusual for humble bundle that they are limiting the numbers available top tier sold out. A lot of these were on offer before with humble bundle thought they might have varied it more.
I enjoy the game level design is fine, it it what it is. The only issue I have is with match making it is broken. And when it does match make you people are at very different evels which depending on the dungeon matters greatly.
It will be more fun to play once they add teams to it rather than playing solo. Developers just do not seem that interested in bringing battle royale style games to PS4. So this will fill the gap until PUBG comes and dominates the PS4.
The market has spoken. Players want generic FS games they do not want games that do anything different. They want deathmatch etc etc. The same types of games repackaged every year is clearly want the market demands and will continue to get.
Its similar in idea to the kor-fx but thats more on your chest and this also has the speakers. This look a lot better than the FX. The fx is cheaper though.
I was happily running the new beta software. But my PS4 is on auto update so decided to replace it with the old firmware. Now its crashed and had to turn it off at the mains. Congratulations Sony
Loved Dragon Age Inquisition did not not enjoy witcher 3 at all. Never felt the need to do all side quests or get all trophies for any game. I guess thats where the problem arises. The need to get trophies drives you to do smething that never needs to be done. Side quests are just that. It makes the end game boss easier because you are higher levels but it also makes the game last for longer for those that are enjoying it. I would rather have more content and not play it. If you want t whizz through an open world game then its fine by just doing the main quests.
PSN store is too visual and not enough text. Ratings for games out of 5 is meaningless especially when people rate games even before they have come out. I would much rather see a proper review system like Steam with written reviews.
A game should not be relying on where it is placed on the store to get known. There are so many medimms where their voice can be heard.
Its great they are free but I waited 10 minutes for a game on one of the DLC and we did not get enough players to play and that was only a 16 person game.
When it came out it was a huge dissapointment never even bothered to finish it just got bored. Should have come to PSVR. Sony could easily have thrown money at it to get the deal done.
The colour is nice but hate the see through controllers its not the 90's anymore they should really move on. And you guys all thought the football controller was terrible this for me is far worse.
I just started playing it after years of avoiding the game due to the negative press. I really should not have listened to any of it. Such a fun game with variety of enemies and also in sections with the dodging of rockets reminds me of donkey kong in its style. I will quite happily buy Knack 2 at full price.

This is not s rippoff of PUBG. There are enough differences for it not to be called that.
