I disagree squire, the thing to remember is the majority of gamers arent as informed as the kind of gamer who follows game websites or industry news and fashions.

I am the only one I know in my circle of friends who obsessively follow games, I have one or two mates who are aware of the odd upcoming big release and then the rest of my mates and colleagues only hear about a game when they see a cool TV ad.

My point is, they have no interest is spending £12...

Yup, I was excited for it when it was announced but the more gameplay I see the more generic it appeared to me.

Time bending mechanics are hardly ground breaking and the mechanics looked like those seen in Singularity to my mind, a game that has been around for yonks.

Of course, the mechanics are being presented in a much more impressive manner as you would expect 8 years on from Singularity but the mechanics are very similar for sure.

I thin...

I think the more experienced 'Souls' players are just getting good at these kinds of games and thus hit less resistance than they did with previous titles in the series.

I bet for Souls vigins the game is just as tough as the original used to be for veterans.

I personally cannot wait and as someone who finished all the prevous games I am curious how tough i will find DS3.

So now you have a PC you want consoles to go away?

What some PC gamers forget is that without the support of the console market the PC would get far less big titles. I say this as a PC gamer of over 20 years, the big games, the likes of Tomb Raider, Farcry, Dark Souls 3 and now all the titles that were once XBOX exclusive would not exist without the other markets to sell too.

A telling off will suffice, sacking someone seems extreme surely, everyone makes mistakes.

My PC couldnt handle Oculous but I checked out some launch content on GiantBomb. It seems to have quite a buzz about it and plenty of content too, there will always be those people who have to rain on the parade I guess.

I have a pre order for PSVR but am starting to worry about motion sickness. I dont suffer normally, but the kinds of games I am excited about in VR such as racing games or fps etc seem to cause plenty of people problems.

Hope to get to try ...

Thats a real shame. A lot of effort has gone into this event, I was looking forward to it myself.

Hope someone gets a bollocking for this.

How about Galak-Z and Broforce just last month or Hell Divers the month before?

GalakZ and Hell Divers in particular are great games. I will never understand people who demand AAA, something having a retail release does not equate to it being a good game.

While I like Knack just fine, I would much prefer title of the calibre above, costing less doesnt make a game any less relevant or playable.

Got the plats on ps3 and then on ps4 when the Drake collection came out.

I just adore this series, cannot wait!

I dont see it myself, if the likes of HALO dont sell that well the console then I dont see how this will either.

I played all of the series first time around and really loved them at the time but having played the GoW remaster on XB1 relatively recently I dont think the formula has aged that well.

I think it will be a solid game but given the limited install base on XB1 compared to when Gears was in its heyday I just dont see it selling like it used to.

My most anticipated game of the year by a country mile. I have 6 platinum trophies from the Uncharted series, cannot wait to add a 7th :D

Naughty Dog are so talented, every person they hire seems to be a master in their field and I have no doubt this is one release that will live up to the hype.

Thats fair enough I suppose. If you were never going to play a title in the first place then its no loss.

Very occasionally I do enjoy this kind of content when I have finished a particular title myself. I am an avit Giantbomb member and they have done some great playthrough series like Breaking Brad where he played darksouls through.

I will never understand how someone would watch a lets play instead of playing a game themselves.

Gaming is an interactive medium, as soon as you take a passive role you miss out on the player agency that makes gami g what it is.

Really good game but I found all the side stuff got repetitive and due to my own OCD thing for collectibles, I burned out way before I finished getting all of the collectibles too.

Loved the graphics and humour in this game and its an absolute must play if you are getting if for free.

I have been quite happy with PS+ so far. I buy all the games I want to play so it would very unlikely that Sony could include a retail title that I dont already own.

I love indie titles and while I still buy a decent amount of these titles there are plenty that I dont get too so its cool to get indies I have missed.

I had already bought Galak-Z when it launched but enjoyed BroForce last month. I have a huge backlog of Indie titles to play thanks to PS+, I t...

Yup, but dial down the AI this time......damn Pacific Rift got tough!

Yeah, really bad news, its a real shame. I guess sales of the last MotorStorm were hardly stellar and then DC's poor launch so I can imagine Sony looked at the figures and reached the decision they did.....they dont close studios that make money.

I am gutted as I was gagging for more MotorStorm but I have Trackmania and Dirt right around the corner to keep me happy. If you havent tried it, give TrackMania a bash, its a really fun arcade racer.

Most people watch them as a fan of that particular title or because they are avid gamers, they are not watching them, as the article suggests, to get a deep insite into how to get into development.

Yet HALO and COD get a free pass with the journo's despite barely iterating with each subsequent release.

This is why traditional gaming journalism is dying, slowly but surely game reviews are becoming less relevant to the consumer and are being replaced with quicklooks and lets plays.

Industry needs to grow up if it ever wants to gain mainstream acceptance. Its not a question of whether the dancers are there of their own free will, its a question of context.

If you want to see dancers go to a club, I have no problem with that however if the industry wants to become truly mainstream and be wholly inclusive then they should act accordingly.

This is just cheap and immature, I have been to events and parties in the industry I work in, I would...
