A shame it doesn't match its predecessor. I'll probably get hold of it eventually, but will definitely wait for it to come down in price a little. And for the backlog to clear a little bit.
Also, slow-clap for that sub-title :P
In fairness, SimCity did act as a handy "what not to do" guide for Colossal Order to follow.
Despite the fact I got it a lot cheaper than the RRP, I was still angry at spending money on SimCity at launch. It's why I've approached Cities: Skylines with a bit of caution, but I'm very glad it managed to actually get the gameplay right. Might have to look at that £15 for this one deal I saw earlier...
"I'll probably enjoy the controller and Vive, but Steam Machines look like a waste of time right now. Hopefully Valve will bring out some sort of interactive buyer's guide tool."
This. The fact I've had to talk a friend of mine through whether a Steam Machine would be worth a purchase specs-wise is a failure on Valve's part to make these machines the consumer-friendly devices they're meant to be. Still, there's plenty of time between now and ...
Couldn't agree more, tbh. I actually enjoyed the first two Fable games, but it beyond that I haven't given so much as a care to the franchise, and Legends was no exception. Still, I'll give it a go for free.
Damn, that's cheap. Still somewhat tempted to wait until the New 3DS has come down in price a little, but that's a mighty tempting deal.
I think the comment from the article regarding the price point for steam machines matching consoles is an important one, but at the same time I highly doubt it will end up being cheaper than an XO / PS4. It would be nice if it was, though!
Oh, and we'll totally see some HL3 trolling in some capacity.
Absolutely. As the article states, the theme park MMO template has been done the death. If Crowfall matches its design brief, we might actually have an MMO that has the interesting stories of EVE with the chance for new names to pop up, instead of the same old faces being the top dogs.
I would very much play a Fullmetal Alchemist. Damn, I love that series.
If, as the review states, this is the start of good manga/anime adaptations to start appearing, I'm all for it. I'm excited yet apprehensive about Capcom making an Attack on Titan game, but I really do hope this encourages developers (especially those working on AoT) to raise the bar.
Well, that's a kicker - I guess it'll be another month before I venture back into GTAO :( Still, it's good to know the Heists will be ready to roll when the PC version is released, because damn, it's about time they were in the game!
I have the same opinion on the Vita, as I'm currently loving my playthrough of P4G, but at the same time I fully understand the negativity thrown at the Vita. Sony should have gone all in like Nintendo did with the 3DS, instead of stumbling backwards nervously. That said, I don't regret buying it, and I look forward to more localised titles coming to it in the future.
Agreed. The fact they've gone back and made improvements to the first two parts as well makes it rather tempting. Gonna have to look out for a decent deal for it now!
As I've said before, it really is a shame we weren't blindsided by something special (and there are flashes of it, such as with the thermite weapon!) but here we are. You're right though - something short but sweet would have been fine, such as Portal, for example.
Despite my enthusiasm for this one waning a long time ago, I still think it's a shame it hasn't managed to overcome the pre-release hate. I guess it's another AAA game joining my "I'll wait until it's reduced" list (alongside Evolve.)
Yeah, the whole charger-less bundle thing has played a part in why I haven't bothered getting one yet, but I'll almost almost certainly be getting one with Xenoblade Chronicles in time to get the new Fire Emblem title. Those, along with Awakening, should keep me busy for quite a while.
Tom Hall absolutely needs to get his hands back on Anachronox, because that game absolutely needs a sequel. Hell, I'd even buy a HD remaster of the original. The gameplay may not have been groundbreaking, but the storyline was fantastic and genuinely hilarious.
Kinda wish this was coming to PC, if I'm honest. Hooking an Oculus up with this one would be pretty awesome. Or vomit-inducing. Either/or.
I've yet to get a 3DS, been toying with the idea recently just to pay Fire Emblem. Probably going to wait until the new one comes out though and then have a double-whammy of SRPG goodness.
That said, this deal's pretty tempting. Ugh...
Because of these rising prices, I've reached the point where I hardly pre-order games anymore, and wait for the deals to roll in. Even PC releases have had some cases of ridiculous prices (AC:U for example, which also highlights the whole AAA price for buggy content issue we've had over the last few years.)
Hopefully prices will normalise again as we get deeper into the current console generation.
