Re: FFS! Sony's E3 2017 Press Conference Schedule Hasn't Leaked

ArkhamKnerd

I'm sure Ubisoft will spend a huge chunk of their show with gameplay for Assassin's Creed so I don't know why Sony would spend 8 minutes showing live gameplay that was probably already shown. Glad this is fake though. It's fun to predict but when there's actual leaks it just makes E3 feel like opening a Christmas present you already know you're getting.

Re: PlayStation Now Will Start Streaming PS4 Games This Year

ArkhamKnerd

@Ralizah I did the PS Now free trial last month and it was so nerve wracking when waiting for a save and worrying about losing the signal. I was playing Ni No Kuni and during boss fights it'd start lagging and I was like "omg PLEASE don't lose connection!" So yeah, I don't like adding that extra bit of stress to playing a game.

Also, on my last day of the trial it wouldn't even let me play anything. The connection wouldn't allow me...

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 157

ArkhamKnerd

Still playing Horizon. Currently have 34 hours put in and at level 28. Having a lot of fun! 😀

For those who have Platinumed the game, are there missable trophies? I didn't want to spoil anything by looking up the hidden ones and I know I've seen atleast one person say they'd need to replay the game for something.. 😕

Re: Push Share: Photographing the Post-Apocalypse in Horizon: Zero Dawn

ArkhamKnerd

Photo Mode is great. I love the ability to change the time of day. I had a great shot lined up but the lighting was off so I changed it a few hours so the light could brighten Aloy's face a little for better detail. Also had something at night but was curious as to how it looked in the day and took a photo of each. Off-topic, I'm having fun doing side quests and errands and not always focused on main story. I'm like level 24 and just started a story quest saying level 12 😃.

Re: Poll: Will Your PS4 Gather Dust Now the Nintendo Switch Is Out?

ArkhamKnerd

Will be getting Zelda today but for the Wii U...which I literally DID clean the dust off yesterday. The gamepad was disgusting. 😂 The log said it hadn't been played since June (probably during a Splatoon event). I'm sure we'll get a Switch at some point but it probably won't be until there's a decent bundle and some must have games.

Re: Guide: Everything You Need to Know About Horizon: Zero Dawn

ArkhamKnerd

My guide for you guys in Europe picking up your copy today...wear headphones if you got them. It sounds amazing. The sounds of machines lurking around as you sneak by can be eerie. Their roar as they attack was enough to make me jump. And the background music as you explore is so much better sounding and more noticeable than through the TV speakers.

Re: Feature: The Promising PS4 Games of March 2017

ArkhamKnerd

I'm interested in Danganronpa and would like to look into it more but I'm worried if I read too much or watch gameplay I'll spoil the story. 😕 If I do get around to playing it though, it'll be awhile from now as I have a long list of games I'm wanting first.

Re: Poll: Are You Buying Horizon: Zero Dawn?

ArkhamKnerd

This game was a major reason for my PS4 purchase back during Black Friday, so of course I'll be getting it. Didn't preorder though. Unless I get money off or something, it's just as easy to go buy it at the store on release day...and not wait til 8pm like UPS did with my Dishonored 2 CE.

Re: Sunset Overdrive Could Grind Again on PS4

ArkhamKnerd

Sunset Overdrive, to me, is the best Xbox One exclusive. I got it Day One and it's up there as one of most fun I've had with a game. It was also my first Insomniac game and when I played Ratchet on the PS4, I could see all the similarities and instantly loved it. I hope they eventually can make a sequel...though I'll admit I'd probably get it on XB1.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 156

ArkhamKnerd

I finished up Uncharted 4 a couple days ago, which was the last game from Christmas I needed to beat. Now that I have nothing else to play on PS4, I started up my PS Now free trial. I really wanted to try Ni No Kuni and I love it so far. Sadly, I probably won't be able to finish it within the week the free trial gives. Might have to come back to it later on and pay for a month's subscription.

Re: Hands On: Jumping at Shadows in Prey on PS4

ArkhamKnerd

A game that wasn't originally on my radar until the gameplay trailer in December. I love that it has the Bioshock feel but still plays somewhat like Dishonored. Can't go wrong with that! Just keep away from the people complaining about it being nothing like the original Prey game. 😒 So does it play like Dishonored in where you may have a location to reach but how you get there is up to you? I loved playing a mission and then seeing my wife go a completely different path I didn't see or think of.

Re: Poll: What PS4 Firmware 4.50 Feature are You Most Looking Forward To?

ArkhamKnerd

External hard drive and I say that from experience. My Xbox One ran out of space long ago and most of the time I couldn't download the free games with gold or even update games I had without uninstalling something else. It became a pain until I bought an external hard drive and now I can have everything right there ready to play and not worry about a thing. My only question is, if anyone knows, could I store games from my Xbox AND PS4 on the same hard drive? Or is it likely the PS4 would need to format it and erase everything?

Re: NieR: Automata Dev Reveals Game went Gold a While Ago

ArkhamKnerd

I'm excited for it and I loved the demo, which was extremely smart on their part because it is really what built up it's hype.. BUT it comes out what..a week?..after Horizon so it'll have to wait for me. Also the end of March has the Kingdom Hearts remaster which will be my next game to buy. I'll get to Nier eventually, perhaps it'll be a little lower in price by then too.

Re: Sony's First-Party Lineup Is the Most Impressive Right Now

ArkhamKnerd

@BAMozzy Lack of Xbox exclusives that interest me this year is the main reason why I finally bought a PS4 for Christmas. It basically came down to me looking at the year and seeing more on PS4 that I really wanted or was excited for that ultimately made me feel ok with hitting "submit order." I will still get 3rd party on Xbox just for gamerscore purposes though I think there's more PS exclusives I want than 3rd party this year.

Re: GameStop May Be Lying to You About New Games

ArkhamKnerd

During all the Black Friday deals I bought Ratchet & Clank new from Gamestop. I ordered it online and I still got it pre-opened and covered in all their stickers. Even worse, the sticker they use to seal it is SUPER sticky. The case feels disgusting and I've scrubbed it with nail polish remover, rubbing alcohol, windex.. Had multiple price stickers put one on top of the other for each price drop or sale. Clearly didn't just come from a warehouse. Thank God my copy of TLOU Remastered came sealed in the plastic wrap.

Re: Star Wars Battlefront 2 Will Have a Single Player Campaign

ArkhamKnerd

Multiplayer only games never interest me for two reasons. One, I'm just not that good at them and dying repeatedly isn't fun for me. And two, if you want to come back to it way later you may not find a match...or worse, the servers may not be up anymore and the game becomes useless. I love SW and now that this will have some kind of single player MAYBE I'll be a little more tempted to get it at some point.

Re: Hype Yourself with an Entire Horizon: Zero Dawn Quest Playthrough

ArkhamKnerd

I watched the Kinda Funny video and it looks great. The facial animations are sometimes a little goofy but they usually are in most games (Arkham series comes to mind along with Fallout 4). Part of me wants to keep watching more gameplay and the other part wants to keep the rest a surprise. I think one thing I'm really looking forward to though is using arrows. It will be a nice change from using guns.

Re: Round Up: PS4's Fantastic January Fortnight

ArkhamKnerd

As a new PS4 owner (my first PS console ever btw), this month has been overwhelming! Mainly because I've had many games to get through before I can even think about getting any others that interest me. I've managed to finish TLOU Remastered along with all of the Nathan Drake Collection. I've played bits of Ratchet & Clank here and there but trying to focus my time now on Uncharted 4. The Gravity Rush 2 demo got me super obsessed with wanting to play it but I would need to play GR1 first. KH 2.8 looks good but that has to wait until I get through the KH PS4 remasters coming in March. I've never played any KH game before. Oh and I'm still trying to chip away at Watch Dogs 2 on my XB1 when I can. 😨
