I know I'm in the minority here but I think the reboot of Tomb Raider has been a much better series so far than Uncharted. However, I'm not sold that this VR component is going to be anything special. I'll gladly eat my words but it feels like there are a lot of "experiences" being rushed to market to capitalize on the launch windows of PSVR. I think it will be a solid year, maybe more before we see a quality AAA game on the platform.
Rare is Rare in name only... the magic is long gone. Conker's Bad Fur Day was their swan song in my opinion, everything after has been painfully average or just garbage. And you are right... Live & Reloaded ruined what should have been an easy remaster.
The N64 is still to this day the best multiplayer console I have ever owned. Yes, I know there was no online but there has never been another time where me and my friends would get together so regularly for all night split-screen with Goldeneye, Perfect Dark and Mario Kart 64. I would absolutely love a remaster of the original much like Perfect Dark. Coincidentally N64 was the last Nintendo console I actually liked.
Perhaps they listed the retail price of the Neo in the wrong placeholder? $500 USD would make sense on that end but clearly that slim won't be anywhere close to that.
I know I might be in the minority here but I just don't think Deus Ex is that amazing looking of a game. Granted I have the PS4 version but the videos I've watched on YouTube of this maxed out on PC still don't look that great. In fact I'd say this game looks (and plays) much like a last gen title.
As with most of this generation the best deals have been on the PS3 which in hindsight makes me wish I had kept my PS3. When I do get my hands on the Neo eventually I will definitely make sure to hold on to it after the launch of PS5 to make sure I can get the deals bound to come;)
I've had 2TB in for over a year now and can't understand why that isn't the minimum for Microsoft/Sony. They are trying to push a digital future and yet seem reluctant to give users more than enough room to make that happen.
It's not the most elegant looking console, original looks nicer, but as long as it does the job it will be great for those interested in it. I'm holding out for Neo obviously but there is one thing I can figure out... why are Microsoft/Sony so insistent on putting buttons/ports in odd areas of the console? The power/eject button seems like the worst space to have it, right where disc goes in and out. And while the USB ports are a mile apart at least they are on the front whereas th...
In all honest as much work went into this review as went into No Man's Sky. I will agree however that NMS is unbearably tedious. It didn't hit me at first, I was actually rather impressed the first week or so but then it hit me like a ton of bricks that this game is build around one game mechanic... grinding.
I would be fine with going 100% digital if there were a refund policy like Steam has... but this generation I have played far too many disappointing games that thankfully I've been able to get most of my money back on Amazon/ebay selling within the first few days.
Not so much during gameplay but throughout the various cut-scenes I am seeing some of the worst screen tearing this generation (PS4). I'm a bit surprised how last-gen this game feels, probably finish it up over the next week or so and sell off.
Solid game but have to agree not worth of a 9... I still think Limbo was better in all aspects.
Over the two weeks since release I have had a love-hate relationship with NMS. The first week I loved it, thought it was was hands down the best game I had played this generation. However, after the honeymoon period around the time I had finished up the Atlas "quest" line I soon realized I wasn't doing anything. The entire game is built around one premise, farming resources so you can continue farming resources. It's one huge grind made all the worse by it's repetiti...
Not to say it is a bad game because it is better than a lot of supposed "AAA" games that will come out but I have to say I liked Limbo a lot more. At the same time I thought this would be a bit longer than it actually was, especially for $20.
Ashley at #19? She was by far my favorite squad mate in the first game... I was very disappointed when her character was virtually non-existent in the sequel. Especially since a character like Jacob had such a huge role in ME2... I would put him below Jenkins I disliked him that much:)
It would be easy to say I'm "trolling" with the following comment but in reality I think this shows how Microsoft sells the Xbox brand rather than games. Xbox 360 had huge exclusives (some timed) like Gears, Crackdown, Fable Dead Rising, Mass Effect, Bioshock, Forza, Halo 3.. it felt like the focus was games first. Now it feels like the focus is branding ie... Doritos, Mountain Dew, Onesies.
The lack of matchmaking across the entirety of the game really killed this new IP for me. There is no reason in modern gaming I should have to go online to a forum to find a team to complete tasks in an online game. The option should be there for those who want it but at the same time the option should be there for matchmaking as well for things like raids. I feel like this generation as a whole companies have been going out of their way to limit options for gamers rather than expand them....
I understand that most games see a rather large drop after launch so this is to be expected. However... I see that number of people actually playing the game on Steam (I'm on PS4) is down 78% in one week? I'm not sure how "normal" that is but I have to say for myself who was this games staunchest defender has come to the realization I was wrong.
I love the art style and music... so refreshing to have a game that isn't some dark-gritty sci-fi shooter ...
It looks like the main campaign itself will eliminate the time limit but that the side missions (which there are many) will still include the limits. So in reality this doesn't do much to help with the game itself where you could have 4 or 5 objectives come up around the same time but a certain amount of time to get to them before they are gone for the rest of the campaign. If that is the case I'll still be passing since it cuts off a large chunk of the game if you want to explore a...
But that's fair criticism, not merely "bitching". From the very first reveal trailer that was absolutely incredible to the launch of the game you realize just how much of this game never existed to begin with. Sean Murray mislead on a number of items and was intentionally coy on other elements. There is a reason when he was asked "what do you do in the game" he couldn't answer the question and said it's a "surprise". The surprise is there is nothi...
