I really enjoy both of those games. It took me a while to get into Pillars but I stuck with it and the story really blossomed for me. I actually need to play the expansions still so I am looking forward to that. Div:OS the story was a little weak but the game-play mechanics of turn based combat was done very well. I will surely play this again before Div:OS 2 is released.
I thought the story in DA:O and DA:I were both very good. At least with DA:i they redeemed themselves from DA2. I have not played the entire Souls series yet. Of what I have played I enjoy it very much.
I own both now and would buy both again if they are both compelling.
I don't know if I would call it 'worried' but certainly aware. Competition is good. MS, Sony, and Nintendo each competing for console sales is a good thing for the consumer. I would prefer that Sony is agile and can adjust to a dynamic market. Same can be said for MS. Let the 'war' rage on. Better than a monopoly. That leads to stagnation.
So much for proof reading. Must be something not taught anymore. ;)
I keep seeing all the lame opinion pieces with inflammatory titles. Clearly all of them are just click bait. Who the heck cares if someone is not a big fan of Uncharted. Why even write the piece? Just because they know they can bait a segment of the readers into the click. It's is pathetic. Move along folks nothing to see here.

I own both consoles. I have yet to buy a single title for the X1. Any console title purchases I have made have all been PS4. When given the choice of a multi-plat title I have yet to chose X1 over PS4. Don't get me wrong X1 is a decent console bu the exclusives don't really draw me in so no need to purchase anything yet. I do use it for the games with gold, netflix, and bluray though. I'd be curious how multi-plat titles sell on X1 versus PS4 when an owner owns both. I suspect po...
I think a first ban as temporary is reasonable. But a second time caught cheating then permanent.
Gee you think The Chinese Room is trying to create controversy for themselves so they get clicks and additional followers. Nothing to see here. Move along.
An updated PS4 (Neo) in no ways harms existing owners. All existing and future titles for PS4 will continue to run on PS4. I hvae to imagine an updated version of the HW enables 4K playback of video and bumps framerate to be consistently 60fps if devs so chose to code for it. A consumer is not required to buy the updated model and in no way does it diminish the existing user base. I for one am glad consoles will no be so HW locked for so long.
I would favor a new updated PS4.5. I don't see how anyone is 'forced' to buy the update per the article. You are not forced to buy anything. Games will still run on the orig PS4. Presumably the benefit would be better performance and 4K support for video/blu-ray content. If Sony experiments by creating and selling this updated model, well consumers can vote with their wallet. If the experiment fails, well so be it.
@n4g0006 based on the quote you provided, I would not say the Frostbite Engine Technical Director called PS3 retarded. Rather he used the term as a verb "to retard".
"I’m pretty sure the Cell retarded the industry significantly. Complexity in all the wrong place" - Frostbite Engine Technical Director
The quote appears to mean he thought the complex PS3 architecture slowed the industry. I can imagine by industry he means the development ...
I am pretty glad they will bump the specs for a new ps4 model. I see no reason to be upset. The original ps4 will still be a viable console. A new ps4 does not damage the original model. Hardware technology and economies change quickly. I would be glad they bump the spec and would likely buy one.
I am in favor of mid cycle hardware upgrades. A concern of mine those is that developers will be less inclined to optimize their games for a platform knowing that consumers can just upgrade their HW mid cycle. At least now with consoles many developers attempt to optimize performance for the platform. But if we ultimately get optimized games and hardware spec bump, then cool.
Honestly I don't really patronize their site anymore. Their is no such thing as journalism in gaming.Maybe call them personalities, writers, or something else. But few if any are what would be considered a journalist. most of them on IGN and Gamespot are paid mouth pieces as a glorified form of advertising which intermixes supposed impartial opinions with advertising. Sure their opinions are sometimes unbiased but often times for big budget games like QB there is enormous pressure to be...
You are correct that many magazines also review products from their advertisers. Which is why most reviews are not worth anything. I worked in the publishing business a while back. The business side of the site (in this case IGN) does not want to alienate their paid advertiser (MS) by giving a less than favorable review. Otherwise MS or similar company may pull their advertising and thus loss of revenue for IGN. Now maybe the game is good in this case. What I can tell you IMO, the review sc...
Some people can afford it. So if you implying nobody can afford bleeding edge technology then I think you are wrong. It may not be mass market affordability is all.
Clearly Pachter is trolling people to get attention. I don't feel the need to click on that story as it is clickbait and a very needy person looking for attention.
Is the power brick still external? Be nice if they incorporated that inside the console.
