After the alpha, I was fairly sure that I wasn't picking up Evolve. However, the beta somehow got me back onto the "buying it" side of things. The game still has some balance issues, but overall, I had lots of fun this weekend.

"Yes I have read the non-stop fluff-pieces from Digital Foundry & Polygon espousing how it is a much more powerful console. The idea being to convince gamers that there is no power differential between it and its main competitor."
Or they are simply stating that more power is becoming available to the console through updates.
Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

TLOU MP is terrible???? Maybe if your sole idea of MP is running as quickly as you can through a map and shooting enemies with auto aimed sniper rifles before they have a chance to draw their gun.
TLOU was among my favorite unique multiplayer experiences last gen, simply because it was unlike most of the other MP experiences out there. Sure, I love the COD games and such, but I also want to try different things instead of only playing the same ones ...
I miss WrestleFest. I sunk SOOOOO many quarters into it in various arcades of the 90's.

Point of order: Knack is not a mediocre platformer... it's a mediocre brawler.
Also, the whole "media bias" and "protected brand" talk was BS when it was in re: Microsoft last gen and is BS in re: Sony this gen. There was and is no general media bias for or against either company - it's a perception that supporters of a particular product hold when there is justified criticism from multiple sources against that product and ...
As annoyed as I am about their number one choice, the fact that they put Uncharted 2 at #7 is painful. Game is top 3, if not number 1.
Yes, but it's about ethics in games journalism. Right? RIGHT? Do GribblyGobbers even pretend anymore?

The thing is, as much as breakpad loves PlayStation (almost to the point of zealotry at certain times), he hates David Jaffe (and very specifically Jaffe's Kratos) just as much, if not more.
Lol!!! I actually Googled it and apparently it's a thing. Never heard of it before.
Midcore? Is this a new buzz word?
I'm kinda interested to see how this (PS4) and Smite (Xbox One) are received, as they will be the first (to my knowledge) MOBA's on their respective consoles. I wouldn't mind trying one or both because I've never been able to check out a MOBA on my computer due to it not being a gaming rig.
@DarkAstronaut
Did you even bother to read the article before you vomited your overly zealous reply???
From the article:
' "We handle the slower clock speed by trying to offload as much as we can on the GPU and to use multi threading wherever possible.” Thomas Grip from Frictional Games said to GamingBolt. “Having to deal with the PS4 CPU has made our tech programmer, Peter, do some really nice optimizations to the game and engine, w...

"You might want to look at the middle east, where your sjw's crusade would actually be beneficial to women, facing extreme discrimination and harassment.
But no that would actually require significant effort, it's far easier to bang away on my keyboard."
You could quite literally say the same thing about GamerGaters. Or any slacktivists for that matter.
Exactly lol
My point was that saying Hatred encourages mass shootings is as foolish as saying that video games categorically do not serve as an impetus for us to try related activities out in real life.
Guitar Hero encouraged me to learn guitar. Just saying.
If they went visor and Kinect, couldn't they give each visor a different FOV when multiple people are playing due to Kinect being able to track individual players? That would be neat.
@Pintheshadows
If all of the references in the article were debunked, then I stand corrected.
In my personal opinion, people are letting their "I don't want to play/support this game because it offends me" and their "this game contains illegal content" streams crossed. Here's a simple list for people concerned about Hatred:
1. If you don't like it, don't buy it.
2. If you are a store or online distr...
Hatred is being made by people who support real-life hate groups:

Valve is right to distance themselves from it.
@Pintheshadows
Yeah, there's some... stuff out there. I had to turn August Underground off because it was getting to me.
