I'm surprised it's getting such good reviews. Wish I could just try the game out and see if it's worth buying. I like CoD, I've bought every installment since MW but: Not sure I like the healing mechanic in the normal multiplayer, ending an engagement and having to in many cases reload and heal just means more down-time in which you'll get shot whilst being unable to do anything about it. Not sure if I'd like Blackout, I got bored of Fortnite. Don't play zombies and there's no campaign.
They really should have done an open beta so that people could try Blackout and decide if it's worth buying. Never cared about Zombies and without a campaign it doesn't seem worth full price.
Surprising, this is the first CoD I'm not getting and none of my friends seem to be either. Red Dead on the other hand is a Day 1, wonder if it'll topple GTAV...
I thought Origins was a really good game though I started off doing all the side content and by... half way? I just made a bee-line for the main story's end as I started to get fatigued. Even the Witcher, I explored and did everything up to Skellige then just needed to finish the game already lol Better to have too much content than feel short changed.
Or y'know, they could just spend less money localizing it by not doing a dub? That way we might have gotten a copy a year earlier? But yeah, too many other games to fit DQ11 in yet, I'll probably wait until after Red Dead 2 and I've been looking forward to DQ11 for a long time, I'd just rather not miss three other games whilst they're new just to focus on one.
Ha, this is the first year I'm skipping CoD since it has no campaign, BF has nothing to worry about there as far as I'm concerned. The new date for Battlefield helps as Soul Calibur was out the same day so now I can easily get both!
I loved the first reboot, Rise not so much but it was alright. It being xbox only for a year killed my hype and enthusiasm. Plus the game went more... open world? Lots of fluff that ruined the pacing and got a bit boring but kind of bugged me to leave.
Don't know why people are so surprised by this. Hilde, Tira and Setsuka were always unlikely additions to the base roster due to the game's time period. I expect all three of them to be DLC, if we're lucky, otherwise they might just not be in the game at all. If it was Hilde and not Tira available day 1 I'd be really happy. They should have announced the rest of the base roster first before mentioning DLC I suppose.
I've been wanting a premium PS4 controller with back buttons/paddles for a while now. All of them seems to have some flaw (the first Raiju included). Now there's a new Scuf that looks promising (when they eventually have it for sale to the UK...) and now this... My standard dualshocks wear out pretty easily and I want the paddles since they give you an advantage online but for the price it needs to be perfect lol
Hmm, so more ninja than just samurai and with the grappling hook and stealth it should separate itself from Nioh... That was my main issue we already had a samurai souls game and Nioh 2 has been announced. Plus Ghost of Tsushima whilst not a Souls-copy looks like a phenomenal Samurai experience too so didn't see why I'd 'need' Sekiro as well
Wonder if we'll get a collector's version like that awesome Japanese one I loved Bloodborne and played some Demon Souls but never dove into the Dark Souls games
It makes sense she isn't in the main game as her story doesn't take place that early in the storyline, I was already expecting her and Hilde to be DLC characters, assuming they were in the game at all.
They already confirmed there would be a season pass with 1 character exclusive to it and 3 others so of course they need to advertise what's in the season pass before it's up for sale?
It'll be the PC version won't it? I think it'll be out on PS4, dunno how close to that the PS4 Pro can make it though. I'd expect a PS5 port of the game down the line if it's received well
Just realised something. Has it been confirmed that you need PS+/Xbox Live Gold to play Fallout76? I assume so? My Dad has preordered the game but doesn't have a subscription and doubt he'll want to pay extra for it when he doesn't even want to play with other people lol
Yeah I'm choosing Tomb Raider over Spiderman. SoulCalibur over Battlefield. Not bothering with CoD this year (probably) since it doesn't have a campaign. Assassin's Creed can wait. Buying Dragon Quest but leaving it to play when I have space since the Destiny Expansion is out the same day...
I suppose they should at least give some sort of rough estimate but at least we can't complain about it being cut content. More likely they started working on it after they were done with the base game and want to announce something when it's more concrete. The season pass was included with my collector's edition but I'm in no rush for the DLC, I'm sure it'll come out eventually and the game was complete (unlike FFXV). I wouldn't have bought the season pass separately until there were details though, that's kinda silly/unnecessary.
Part of the furniture? She wasn't in the last game... She was teased on Twitter what feels like ages ago so glad she's finally been revealed. Can't wait for this game to come out, kind of a shame it's during such a busy period, I'll probably skip Battlefield for this and a week later we have Red Dead 2.
Can't help but wonder if this is setting some sort of precedent. Anime games with fanservice and school girls, Senran Kagura and Gal Gun for instance plus a bunch on the Vita.
It doesn't matter so much with new, popular titles like Fortnite but crossplay could really help older, more niche titles keep a decent sized online community. Like some fighting games.
I'm happy with games coming out when they're ready. It does kind of bug me that we're hearing about games that aren't coming out until the PS5 though... Like we just get a logo and that's it, announce games when you have at least a proper trailer and show it off after that when gameplay is in decent shape.
Really good overall but could have done without the lengthy interlude and flute playing after TLoU. Ghost of Tsushima was the highlight, it looks phenomenal. That new Remedy game looked cool too and wasn't expecting Nioh 2 or Resident Evil or From Software to be working on a VR title
There's no chance we'll only see those 4 games and nothing else. Destiny 2's Forsaken expansion's story mode is getting a reveal, Black Ops 4 will show something off, maybe Battle Royale. There's some PS timed exclusive deal with Red Dead 2 so wouldn't surprise me if they show off that investment. Plus there's always at least one surprise announcement at the end. Even if it's just Paragon : p Spyro hasn't been properly revealed yet either has it?
I'm actually debating if I'll tune out for TLoU 2, I really don't want to see any more of it before I have a copy in my hands. The other three games I'm looking forward to learning more about and deciding if they're a day 1 purchase or not.
Huh, I didn't think they'd do the Samurai setting since Nioh has basically done that now. Wonder if Ghost of Tsushima blows this away or is overshadowed...
Days Gone I was already thinking doesn't look that interesting/unique, like a lesser TLoU. Anthem on the other hand whilst not everyone's cup of tea (Not the Mass Effect replacement people hoped for) so far is looking like something I'll enjoy playing through with a friend.
The Last of Us I'm definitely getting and now that I know it's coming, I'd rather see as little of it as possible. Even that last trailer we got felt like it spoiled a bit of the game. Death Stranding and Tsushima I'd like to see gameplay of. Spiderman for whatever reason I'm not that hyped for so could do with seeing more.
It's bad enough with leaks but now even the Developers themselves are ruining the surprise... And it's just annoying being teased about something like Fallout 76 then dealing with possible rumours. Assassin's Creed as well, I'd much rather have been surprised whilst watching the E3 conference.
Too busy with Detroit at the moment but looking forward to giving this a go. I enjoy Fortnite but I suck at building in it. PUBG really could have made a killing if they went PS4, at this rate there will be too many competitors
Can't wait to see what this is like, the setting alone interests me more than The Witcher's (which I ended up really liking anyway). There are some plot details on Wikipedia.
I feel like the PS5 will be compatible with all PS4 games like the PS4Pro was, they're not going to change architecture significantly are they? Even if there's a new medium of Blu Ray disc it should be compatible with the normal type. We might finally get native 4K and 60fps as the standard so I'm looking forward to it.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Is More Anticipated than Red Dead Redemption 2, Says Report
Surprising, this is the first CoD I'm not getting and none of my friends seem to be either.
Red Dead on the other hand is a Day 1, wonder if it'll topple GTAV...
Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Needs 100GB Minimum of your PS4 Hard Drive
Damn, I could see Red Dead being that large but CoD? It doesn't even have a campaign mode where you'd think most CGI stuff would be.
Re: Soapbox: Publishers Want You to Pay to Play Early, And It's a Worry
What they should do is make the digital version's release date sooner, that would make up for how the price isn't cheaper than a physical copy.
Re: Round Up: Assassin's Creed Odyssey PS4 Reviews Paint an Epic Picture
I thought Origins was a really good game though I started off doing all the side content and by... half way? I just made a bee-line for the main story's end as I started to get fatigued.

Re: Treyarch Scrapped Single Player Campaign to Focus on 'Social Gameplay Experiences' for Black Ops 4
It's fine if they don't want to put a campaign in it this year, but I'd expect the game to cost less to make up for the content it's lacking.
Re: Assassin's Creed Odyssey 'Explorer Mode' Turns Off Automatic Objective Markers for a More Organic Experience
This sounds interesting. Might start with explorer mode and see how it goes, so long as you can toggle it back on whenever.
Re: Battlefield V Delayed to November for Gameplay 'Adjustments'
Ha, this is the first year I'm skipping CoD since it has no campaign, BF has nothing to worry about there as far as I'm concerned.
The new date for Battlefield helps as Soul Calibur was out the same day so now I can easily get both!

Also, Tekken did this too with Eliza

So when can I play the beta without preordering? Or do they not advertise that you always can?
Re: Big Fighting Game Announcements Teased for EVO 2018 This Weekend
Soul Calibur and Dead or Alive are the ones I'm hoping for more roster announcements from.
Re: Ni no Kuni II's Season Pass DLC Is Nowhere to Be Seen Four Months After Release
I suppose they should at least give some sort of rough estimate but at least we can't complain about it being cut content. More likely they started working on it after they were done with the base game and want to announce something when it's more concrete.
The season pass was included with my collector's edition but I'm in no rush for the DLC, I'm sure it'll come out eventually and the game was complete (unlike FFXV).
I wouldn't have bought the season pass separately until there were details though, that's kinda silly/unnecessary.
Re: Talim Is the Latest Character Announced for SoulCalibur VI
Part of the furniture? She wasn't in the last game...

Re: Sony Steps in to Cancel PS4, Vita Title Omega Labyrinth Z in the West

Re: Talking Point: How Much Does Cross-Play Matter to You?
It doesn't matter so much with new, popular titles like Fortnite but crossplay could really help older, more niche titles keep a decent sized online community. Like some fighting games.
Re: Rumour: Was Red Dead Redemption 2 at E3 2018 After All?
I really wanted to see it at E3 since it's coming out this year and I want some extra hype. Instead I was like, is it gonna be delayed? : /

Nice! Glad it wasn't delayed
Re: Soapbox: E3 2018 Demonstrates the Disconnect Between Gamer Demands and Development Realities

Re: Talking Point: Did Sony PlayStation's E3 2018 Press Conference Deliver?
Really good overall but could have done without the lengthy interlude and flute playing after TLoU.
Ghost of Tsushima was the highlight, it looks phenomenal.

Re: Talking Point: Does Days Gone Need a New Release Date Already?
Days Gone I was already thinking doesn't look that interesting/unique, like a lesser TLoU. Anthem on the other hand whilst not everyone's cup of tea (Not the Mass Effect replacement people hoped for) so far is looking like something I'll enjoy playing through with a friend.
Re: E3 2018: ANTHEM Won't Have PvP, Can Be Played Single-Player, Is Always Online
