Want this, but when failing to finish doom 2016 on easy setting due to extremely hard boss fights nearing the end (seems the easy setting does not apply for bosses?), I'm really not sure anymore ...
Interesting, of course. How it'll pan out for future games by R*, we'll just have to wait and see. Personally I've felt for a while now that this particular Houser wasn't all that good of a writer. So this could all be for the better. I'm almost shocked that RDR2 didn't get more(or any?) flak in the story department. It was seriously bland and lacking ... But this is just my opinion. No harm intended.
The latest rumor now is that the ps5 will be able to play all games from ps1 to ps4 and even be able to read physical discs of old games, using a 'Remastering engine' (grain of salt taken but it's interesting) https://www.pscp.tv/w/1MnxnEkAEWdJO
Well despite the comments; I wonder when a new GTA will be announced? Surely it has to happen, it's inevitable isn't it, with the sales since 2013... mind boggling. But who knows, maybe the lawsuit between R* and Leslie Benzies put it on hold until the litigation came to and end last year?
No point in buying the BP, since it's only cosmetics. And also, one famous Youtuber has calculated that you have to play 3 hours every single day(!) of the season to reach max. That's insane for most ordinary people with jobs and lives outside gaming and who might also have an interest in playing other games than COD in between.
Also: this is probably done on purpose to induce people into buying the tiers
@potter32 I care, a lot! And since experiencing this in agony last night for Modern Warfare, it's more relevant than ever. And also an interesting issue to contemplate in regards to how it'll pan out on the PS5.
Also, if YOU don't care, then skip the article. Simple, really.
@Rob_230 @m1349 I would rather say congratulations! With marriage and family life. I have a family myself and have been in the same situation back in the day. Now however, my son has turned 9 and we are having a blast playing on the PS4 together. But yeah, I'll probably also wait a few month after launch before getting the 5, just to let things smooth out a little
@Leucocyte they are allowing K/M but I think it's only being matched with others also using K/M, so if you are using gamepad on PS4 and are matched with K/M that seems odd...
@Quintumply But surely we need to be able to download it at some point right? Why on earth isn't this mentioned someplace either on PS store or ATVI. I guess quite a lot of us COD followers who is sceptic nowadays after the BLOPS4 shambles, haven't pr-eorderd for good reasons. Guess I'll check PS store this evening around 7pm or maybe midnight tonight.
@Quintumply @TheBuzz Problem is (for me at least) I haven't found a single place where it's stated exactly when we can download the Open Beta for free (without preorder redeem codes). If we want to start playing Open Beta free tomorrow the 14th, then surely we'd like to download the gigantic file som time in advance so we actually will be able to play the 14th at all? As of now Friday 13th it's 'not purchase able'(as in can't be downloaded) on PS store due to I don't own Modern Warfare.
@Rick_Deckard Just remember; don’t get put of by the slow beginnings and at times repetitive missions. Hang in there and level up abilities, weapons and the bike. Then after a while, the fun kicks in. And by the end of the story mission, you’ll be ready to really take on all the hordes without fear😊 Good luck!
Still playing it and enjoying it. However, the missions in this game is all too samey and at times it's tedious no doubt. Driving between the camps and listening to the nonstop yammering(even during fights and other ongoing missions) on the com from the camp leaders is just annoying.
@wiiware same here. But when I last made an effort (last year) I gave up (again) since one of the final boss fights is mental even on the easiest difficulty. Seems like boss fights omit the difficult setting or something... a shame really, since the game otherwise is quite good ...
@sinton Did you also receive two emails? The first had a %twelve_price% tag in stead of the actual price amount. In the second email this was corrected. However the translation to norwegian was still erroneous, as it stated an increase by NOK 580,- That would have been awful. I pray this is the new total amount and not just the increase 😂
I was a die hard CVG follower ever since I bought my first physical copy i 1983 and later on the web. So when that web site sadly died/ was taken down, a few years ago, I searched the web for my every day go-to site. So after trying out every other annoying site out there I finally stumbled over Push Square and was hooked. This was just the right web site!
Keep it going into my elder years, please. And keep up the great work! Happy anniversary!
Only 6% in on the SP still. Seems way too boring, so I haven't touched RDR2 since early december. The online part isn't tempting in the slightest, but I'll consider when the beta is done.
I used to be a GTA addic back in the day. Still like the games, (not the online part that much though) but strangely enough I invested several days of gameplay into San Andreas on ps2, but gtaIV on ps3 and gtaV on ps4 just haven’t had the same pull on me... not sure why, but personally I think the narrative is over rated in IV and V.
" Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, a title widely lauded for its tight gameplay." This baffles me ... I played the first chapter or something (escape from the hospital I think) and it was horrible (got it 'free' with PS+). All gameplay, visuals, direction and logic was just south of every other title recently played (in 2016/17). Can't imagine playing throught it to be honest.
Looks totally mental good! Day 1 for sure. Will be interesting though, to experience it in creation mode and see where the limits are. I remember LBP and the one plattformer I made, it hit the roof memory wise pretty easy. And this seems way beyond everything in LBP, but I guess a lot have changed since the PS3 days
@get2sammyb Maybe Zampella is rich... who knows, depends how one defines rich. Also, if you paid attention back in 2010, Zampella actually paid from his own pockets when starting the new studio Respawn and paying the wages for the employees the first couple of years or more while creating TF1. Also, Jason West was part of the deal when splitting with Activision, so Zampella didn’t get it all.
Well, I love it. Been gaming since 83, and loved Commando back in the day on C64, coded by Chris Butler. If only I’d known then what kind of shooter I would play 30 ish years later ... unfathomable.
My original PS4 was jam packed and I had to make room on the HDD whenever a new game came along. Upgraded to a PS4 Pro 3 weeks ago. Super enjoying it now with the new Wolfenstein and WW2 games.
Loved RDR! But this seems just so... unexciting. I guess I just had to high expectations for this. And have to agree with @BAMozzy, the title is just weird this time. But I guess to use it and add «2» or «II» will sell more copies...
