I'm quite impressed with how Microsoft has turned around the X1 since the botched reveal of the console and all the ridiculous drm and policies associated with it. I look forward to getting that sexy blue Forza model X1 on Sept. 15.
Now that they won this award, the judges will be placed on janitor duty at a Konami pachinko parlor since they're no longer useful.
Same here. I've been a huge fan of the Souls games since I got Demon's Souls on its release day. Dark Souls topped it and did what I thought would be impossible and overtook Super Metroid as my favorite game. I'm amazed Dark Souls exists and was allowed to be made in today's gaming climate of casualized experiences and over-the-top spectacle over substance.
I have to agree. I've had a PS4 since Dec. 2013 and the only compelling exclusives I've played are Bloodborne and Resogun. There are others that are decent but nothing special. I keep looking at what X1 is offering now and for the rest of the year and I'm wondering why I don't have that console instead. So I decided to trade the PS4 for the upcoming blue Forza X1. I'll get a PS4 later when it builds a more respectable first-party library.
It's only a war in the minds of fanboyish corporate soldiers who take gaming to unhealthy extremes. In reality it's just three corporations (that's right, Nintendo counts too) competing with each other. Competition is good for gamers, and all three consoles have their merits.
There are many ways to fuck up this remake, but if they design like they did with the original remake of part 1 on Gamecube, it could be fantastic. I'm hoping for the best.
The game is decent but the soundtrack is fantastic. I listen to it on YouTube often.
Cuphead looks hilarious.

Believe it or not, Tomb Raider actually began development as a Sega Saturn exclusive because the series creator was a big fan of Sega and the Saturn. It ended up being ported to Playstation because of Saturn's poor US sales, so it ended up being released on both consoles simultaneously. Not many people realize there was a Saturn version and that it actually began development on Saturn.
So anticlimactic.
A 3ds port would be welcome.
You can download and play FFIX on PS3 or Vita. FFXII still can only be played on PS2.
It'll come to the West, SE will just take their sweet time localising as usual.
My penis is ready.
I'm baffled by the overwhelming praise as well. I found Asylum and City to be far better experiences.
As someone who loved Asylum and City, this was my most anticipated game of the year and I have to agree with Jim on this to my surprise. This game was a big letdown, but certainly not terrible.
I'm sick of people saying Nintendo console owners are only interested in Nintendo first-party games. That just flat-out isn't true. I've owned every Nintendo console released in the US, but the past few gens I've had to buy a second or even third console to get third-party titles that don't make it onto Nintendo's consoles. I would imagine the overwhelming majority of Nintendo console owners, particularly Wii U owners, also own a gaming PC, or Playstation system or Xbo...
Why, because he's nearly invincible? Just design the game as timed challenges where you only fail if others are killed or too much property is damaged. The ticking-clock element would make things more intense.
Yeah my PS4 collects dust too, but not because I don't use it. I actually use it often, yet it still annoyingly collects dust just like everything else in my house. Stupid dust!
Creating an overpriced, Vita-only memory card was just a shady way for Sony to split the Vita into two essential components: the Vita itself and the mandatory memory card, which is needed to boot up most games and to save game data, which is absurd since Vita games ship on cartridges and should allow game saves on the actual game cartridges. Proprietary cards do nothing to prevent hacking and piracy. That's just a fairy tale Sony sold to the public so they could bait and switch people by ...
