@Bad-MuthaAdebis I haven't played the others. And I sort of understand where you're coming from. But I'm a die hard Song of Ice and Fire fan so I think this is incredible.
Side note, does anyone know when it's available to download today? Still can't find it on PS store.
They even said that this patch is only going to slightly improve framerate at times. The next patch is going to be focused on getting the framerate up to speed. At least they are trying and at least they are now offering free DLC (and a free game to those who bought the season pass). Yes, this should have been fixed on Day 1 but at least they are trying.
Does anyone else think it's kind of crazy that a lot of studios are still making current-gen games on last-gen systems, too? I went to school for business so I understand that it's going to increase their revenue. But, even MGS5 is going to release on last-gen systems and that's not coming out until sometime next year.
And in terms of exclusive games I have to say that currently Wii U is winning in that category. However, next year looks very promising for the PS4.
@get2sammyb IGN gave this game a 6.8 and said it was due to tons of game-breaking glitches. Yet I don't see mention of those in your review. Is IGN crazy? Or are there really some huge bugs?
I love the books, love the show, and I have really enjoyed the history book George R.R. Martin just released on Westeros. Cannot wait for more ASOIAF lore!
@DerMeister I agree that the bugs should have been avoided. But what I'm saying is the media is exaggerating how often these bugs happen. My friends and I can play for a good 15 or 20 minutes before we encounter a minor bug. The biggest problem is some frame rate issues every now and then. But it's not bad enough to ruin the game (or justify a 5/10 review score)
@Mrskinner Thank you! Only other person on this comment thread that has played it and you like it, as well. People rely on the media way too much to tell them what's fun.
While this game does have some bugs, I think this site exaggerates them (at least based on my experiences with the game). Whoever is dissing the game without even playing it has no room to talk. It's a great game with some non-game breaking bugs. Play before you judge!
Has anyone else had a problem where it won't let you attack enemies sometimes? I don't really know how to describe it, but I try to draw my weapon at times to fight back and can't.
@rjejr I understand what you are saying since it's a new IP and doesn't really have a fanbase or "universe" established yet. But $20 for the figurine, DLC, and steelbook is a really good deal so I am probably going to pre-order the collector's edition.
@rjejr I (as well as others) have purchased the PS4 as an investment. Yes there are a lot of ports and indies, but there are still a few good ps4 exclusives or even next gen exclusives that I can't get on Wii U. And looking at the first half of 2015 shows even more exclusives. So people are confident that Sony can deliver.
Why do we still not have an option to truly organize our games on the home screen? It's nice they are cleaning it up but I still don't get why we can't lock some games/applications into one spot.
I hate people complaining that we have already seen 50% of the game! We have not even seen close to that! Sure we saw the full campaign on Earth and ONE mission on the moon. So technically we have seen a little over 25% of the campaign alone. But the replayability is so high! You can play the campaign as a different class, different weapons, etc. Not to mention the multiplayer (both cooperative and competitive) was amazing in the Beta alone. Be happy they let us play the Beta for free.
I would be okay with one location for each planet if there was more than 4 planets. I thought in an interview I read a few months ago they said there were more Earth locations than just Old Russia? Or will those locations just be DLC? Regardless, I'm still getting this game.
As a gaymer, I really love the message of this. However, I don't like the tacky heart on the side. If it was nothing but the rainbow then it would look even better, imo!
I'm not a huge fan of first person shooters. However, my friend gave me an extra beta code and now I'm going into withdrawal from not playing today! I absolutely love the RPG elements thrown into this game! Can't wait to play more on Wednesday!
@Dohv I have never played an Uncharted game before since I never owned a Playstation. Yet I am very interested in the game and the series. Considering the fact that 1/3 of all PS4 owners did not own a PS3, I know the collection would sell really well.
As long as it doens't take away resources to make a new game in the series then I don't see what the problem is. About 1/3 of people who own a PS4 did not own a PS3 so the collection will sell for sure. Especially if released during a slow sales month. As a non PS3 owner I really hope they do this!
@ToOGoodOfAPlaya I have Trine 2 on my Wii U (I had to buy something during that terrible drought during the beginning of 2013) and I've got to say I got bored with it pretty quick too. It has a good concept but it didn't really intrigue me too much.
I can't believe some people are making excuses for this. When Nintendo does well people are like "Wellll not really" but when they do poorly it's broadcasted everywhere. I love both Sony and Nintendo but I'm glad to see that Nintendo is getting a lot of attention because they really need it right now.
Nintendo had a digital event, the Smash Bros invitational, and livestreaming of actual gameplay. Yes Sony and Microsoft both showed some cool stuff but it was just pre-rendered trailers with very little gamplay for most games (if any at all.) The timezone difference probably had an effect but these tweets were counted for all of e3, not just for their press conferences. Those in a different time zone could have still tweeted the excitement beforehand or afterhand.Not to mention, Sony could have done a digital event similiar to Nintendo at a different time to get more viewers.
I remember when similar statements were made during the GameCube days.. And then the Wii came out and outsold both consoles... Just because one system isn't doing that great doesn't mean Nintendo should just give up on hardware. They just need to see their current mistakes and try to fix them ASAP or at least by the time the next console launches.
I have never played an Infamous game before since I didn't own a Sony console until I bought my PS4 in December. So I'm really glad that I can now take part in enjoying a brand new Infamous game.
@The-Sega-KiD So now you have to be a kid to enjoy amazing AAA games like A Link Between Worlds, Ocarina of Time 3D, Mario Kart 7, Super Mario 3D Land, Fire Emblem, Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon, Pokemon, & Animal Crossing?
Just because Nintendo makes family friendly games/systems doesn't mean that they are "kiddy" games. Adults can enjoy them just the same as they enjoy their rated M games on their PlayStation. I enjoy Zelda and Mario just as much as I enjoy Grand Theft Auto, Infamous, Assassins Creed, etc. Mature adults are the ones willing to admit a great game when they see one and not hide behind "M" rated games saying Nintendo consoles are for kids.
This is why I can't stand the word "partner." Significant other, boyfriend, "better half" are all better words since "partner" can clearly be used for many things.
@charlesnarles Don't get me wrong, I am very excited! I have never played the game so this is the perfect chance to experience it. I just think it's funny that they force you to play terrible multiplayer (or so everybody says) to get platinum.
Instead of forcing people to play horrid multiplayer to get Platinum, how about you just make an enjoyable multiplayer experience so people will actually enjoy the gameplay? Seems like such a foreign idea, right?
@YashaStepanovic Did you ever get this resolved? I just bought a PS4 and updated it to the latest system software and it's doing the same exact thing to me.
@RisefromAshes
I meant sales for NA. I wasn't trolling, I was using supply and demand logic.
EDIT: I'm trying to find a PS4 currently and I don't really like Microsoft as a company. But they are keeping up with demand (although demand is higher for PS4s.) This isn't trolling. This is fact. Too many users get pissed off whenever there is some slightly bad news about their consoles sales.
@odd69 I'm disappointed as well. But unfortunately there is only so much they can do. I think after Christmas it will be a lot easier to find but who knows. I know when the Wii was released it was really hard to find one until about April.
This actually really excites me! I'm ready to own a Sony system but don't want to buy a PS3 since I know I will need a PS4 in a year. So now I can still play a highly rated game without a PS3
Wow... It's so sad that people would rather buy a bad/mediocre game on a new system than a stellar game that has so many positive reviews. I love Nintendo for the games. It's sad what some gamers look to nowadays.
