Regarding part of the article, 'Game of the year edition' is such a well used thing now that no wonder they've stopped quoting their sources (it might be in some small print somewhere).
But it's not a tag that I'd throw around without qualification in the same year that Dishonored came out.
However - absolutely The Wolf Among Us needs far more comments. But when's the next episode?
It appalls me that he might be £450 up now. What a pathetic world we live in where you can end up in such profit for doing nothing more than not buying from official retailers.
However - those who say that he didn't deserve to get his money back (as long as it's from the seller) just because it said 'Photo' in the title are wrong. A title is not necessarily a contents list. Words in a title can have double meanings in some cases or might refer to a brand ...
'Bethesda is incapable of RELEASING a game without game-breaking bugs'.
My reply to the same post:
Haven't found one in Dishonored or its DLC.
Did I say that they were a developer? No. So why the thumbs down? Just look at the topic? My post is clearly not just a reply to that, otherwise it wouldn't make sense as a reply to the question 'Who's your favourite video games developer of all time?'. (I did a separate reply to the...
It was a volatile, unsustainable, balance of horror, puzzle and action that just about managed to get you through something that resembled something almost great. By the end of RE4 you've been chased by a stone statue and are sailing off in to the sunset on jetskis. It was veering towards cheese. Which is a shame because the boss battles in it are taxing, scary and great.
The game is almost entirely, essentially, a linear corridor shooter disguised as a game that isn't one.
Sony could do with something off the wall that doesn't go down that well tread Japanese/European quirky sensibility.
It could do with a Jet Set Radio sequel , for instance, to counter Microsoft's Sunset Overdrive.
Sony sometimes needs to be more POW! Like Killer Instinct did for long time fans.
Camera inclusion would have diluted the message that they wanted to make the most powerful console of its generation at the lowest price possible that was game and not peripheral focussed.
Also it would have invited comparisons between the cameras that would have made Sony's appear undercooked.
(It's not the most powerful console POSSIBLE at the time though - that might have involved some Cell-like engine that they didn't want to take on again).
There hasn't been a Sony console yet that hasn't felt incomplete at launch.
I'd argue that the PS1 was never anything more than a tentative step in to gaming. Originally a CD add on for the SNES, it was only 32 bit, the same as the Saturn that had already been out. It had games but its exclusives weren't as epic as the N64's.
As for the PS2, early games were no match for the Dreamcast's and, although the PS2 was in its stride by 2001, ...
Although they wouldn't be my choice, I'm surprised that there's no mention of SCE Japan as anyone's contender:
Ico
Shadow of the collosus
Puppeteer
Rain
(If they'd made Papo and Yo and Limbo as well they'd be
ideal).
Also surprised of no mention of Ubisoft although they wouldn't be my choice.
Personally, if only for Max Payne and Max Payne 2, Remedy is one of my min...
Haven't found one in Dishonored or its DLC.
The PS3 was the first time that the Playstation brand was an underdog with the mainstream for a while (2006 to about 2008).
That actually seems to have helped its kudos after the turnaround which had already begun with the likes of Heavy Rain but was cemented by the release of Uncharted 2.
It was arguably like night and day when that Cell got cracked, not just in exclusives but in multiformats.
But it wouldn't have resulted in quite such...
If you're a real soldier surely you'd know it's not the strong who necessarily survive but the best prepared and equipped in general for whatever situation- and a coward can be best prepared and equipped if they're prepared to follow orders.
I hate Gran Turismo and don't even know what such a dull PC-game like game is doing as a Sony flagship game.
I loved my PS3 for other types of genres but there are too many Sony fanboys on here that they are in danger of making the PS4 uncool! One of the reasons that I loved my PS3 is so much is precisely because it was 'underrated' by anyone who didn't own one.
If you keep on making excuses for Sony games and don't admit truths like that ...
The 'let's read it like Mr Logic' title of the auction is, to some extent, an irrelevance. When you buy a packet of Starburst you don't sue the manufacturers for it not containing the contents of an exploded star.
But if the title and the 'contents list' in the rest of the ad don't match then there is a case to say you've been miselad.
What matters most is the content list.
And if there wasn't one and they thought t...
That comment deserved more praise - 720p :)
I hope it was original.
I am actually an Xbox One fan in terms of some exclusives but in terms of multiformats I have some serious reservations.
Please give me a thumbs up if you've seen footage of the Xbox One version and thought it looked closer to the PS3 version than the PS4 version.
Or a thumbs down if you disagree and think that the Xbox One version was essentially on a par with the PS4.
You speak as if you endorse it as a worthy occupation. That the heavens and earth were dying to be graced with people who could have what they'd call an 'educated' guess at working out what the likelihood of something is and making money from it.
Sega were clearly not brilliant at risk management after the Megadrive. Or , like World War 1 soldiers, they marched bravely on anyway knowing they'd die legends in the glory of the Dreamcast.
But Pac...
Reports of a man going in to shops saying 'I LOVE this game store!!' are unfounded.
The great thing about Sony's online is that it has always been like Fight Club. You don't talk about Fight Club.
Not because the Fight Club's not good but because it's arguably a bit tacky to regard competing against strangers as any kind of trump card over the number and quality of great single player games.
Not like Microsoft did with the original Xbox where it was regarded as one of its unique selling points.
(Microsoft actually seem to have...
It'd be good if Sony made a little advert about their executives having to get a 'second job' as a postman just to keep up with demand in delivering consoles.
The PS3 was arguably worth a second job by the end of it! After a slow first year or more, the Cell was worth it (80 million sales and some beautiful details in some games, even multiformat ones) but I understand how it wasn't going to be sustainable to have a third difficult to master 'exotic' p...
If this game's even half decent it's going to sell well I'd say. The popularity of Dishonored has made Thief back on the agenda.
