Re: Store Update: 26th July 2016 (North America)

They own Marvel but the licensing deals werent messed with. This is Activision trying to make $40 off of two really old games with no upgrades, probably need to make up the cash for that horrible TMNT release a few months back.

I was surprised to see Shiren the Wanderer up there, that's pretty crazy. Can't really afford another $40 digital game (after giving in to I Am Setsuna), but will pick it up later.

Re: Rise of the Tomb Raider PS4's Still Holed Up in Croft Manor

Berto_Gamut

Yeesh, apparently PS4 players will only pick this game up if it's free on PS+.....regardless of if it's a good game or not.

A "GOTY" edition with all the DLC at $60 is the right way to release this. Anything less, and you just want to bone the developers because of the publisher's exclusivity deal.

Re: E3 2016: Attendance Drops as E3 2017 Is Dated

Berto_Gamut

I feel it'll be dead by 2018, unless they switch over the trade show aspect to a videogaming convention. It seems they have to hype up their expo so the bigger vendors actually care about showing up.

Personally, it was alright but it's something these huge companies could've technically set up themselves, still filled the seats, and still got the internet talking.

Re: E3 2016: Dead Rising 4 Will Dismantle the Undead on PS4 Next Year

Berto_Gamut

I dont mind it, will be picking it up for XBO. Looks rad.

This is simply how exclusivity works now with Capcom and Square Enix. SFV, RE7, FF7 re-telling; these all have some form of Sony exclusivity. I think SFV and RE7 are permanently exclusive...though microsoft could probably make money indirectly through PC gaming sales.

Re: E3 2016: PS4K Is An Addition to the Existing PS4, Says House

"While Microsoft doesn't appear to have its record straight about whether its mysterious Project Scorpio will receive exclusive games or not"

They said it was up to the development community, which is the right thing to say. Because console devs will eventually want to work on a beefier system while PC devs get to migrate their beefier games to console.

Since PS4K is an addition, it can end up splitting the user base. PS4K owners get to play the games as intended (solid 60fps, 1080p+) while PS4 owners get the same sub-60fps we've been getting. PS4K owners get fog in Fallout4, PS4 owners dont.

Re: Oh Right, There's a New Skylanders Game

Berto_Gamut

I love top-down brawlers, so this could get a sale out of me.....if it wasnt connected to their toys.

I mostly want to play another Dark Alliance, Champions of Norrath, X-Men Legends, or Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Something that maybe breaks the mold a little and adds in platforming...I dont know.

Re: PS4 Controller Selected Best for PC Gaming

Berto_Gamut

haha, nope. I use an XBO controller for PC gaming. Never needed a touchpad because my mouse is usually right next to my PC...and that's hardly an advantage when you have to switch the shoddy analog sticks or the creaky triggers.

They have improved it, I recently picked up that Uncharted-brand DS4 and it is miles better than their launch DS4s. Still has crap battery life though...

Re: TMNT: Mutants in Manhattan Runs at 30FPS on PS4, Lasts Around 3 Hours

Berto_Gamut

Holy hell! I just put money towards this game yesterday, but this is a huge no-go for me.

Was willing to forget about the lack of local co-op...that was when I thought local mp was being scrapped for a 60fps presentation on an at least 6-hour campaign.

Also, the "switch between 4 turtles" approach fails every single time it is done. A TMNT game needs to have each turtle feel unique, secret characters, and local 4-player.

Re: Review: DOOM (PS4)

Berto_Gamut

Well deserved, this is an amazing FPS that does the old Doom games justice. If there's even the slightest possibility of couch co-op in a future game, I hope it becomes reality. That's all this needs to put it at perfect 10/10 status.

Re: Poll: Are You Enjoying Uncharted 4 on PS4?

Berto_Gamut

I'm waiting this one out. Glad it looks to be a great SP game but I've grown too tired of UC during the first three games. I think I've grown allergic to cover shooters...

Anyway, maybe I'll get back into the genre later and have a ball. Doom may be my next destination

Re: Review: Battleborn (PS4)

Berto_Gamut

Worst impulse-buy ever. The splitscreen is a joke, with 1/4th of the screen taken up by ginormous double mini-maps. These guys made Borderlands, there's no reason for the splitscreen to be this bad. What a let down.

As for the content, story mode is weak and the missions are a bore. Everything is server-side so expect hiccups and long waits for one-sided 30min matches.

It should be compared to Overwatch. Not in genre (one is MOBA, the other is a team shooter) but in multiplayer options, ease of use, responsiveness....you know, important things. I could play an Overwatch match in the time it takes 10 players just to pick their characters in battleborn. Despite Overwatch having less team interaction, they have better call out options for healing/defense, which boggles my mind that Battleborn has none of...just taunts.....

Dont mean to poop on this review, I agree with a few points and dont deny his opinion is just as valid. Just felt like dropping my 2cents.

Re: PS4 Fans Are So Mad at PlayStation Plus They're Making Parodies

Berto_Gamut

Other than the two examples being horrible games, how far off the mark is this spoof really. You know April's IGC is going to have some sort of eye-burning low pixel count game front and center.

My PS+ renewed thanks to their auto-renew option that turns itself on. After this year I'm done with it, hasnt been very worthwhile for quite some time now.

Re: Characters Are Vanishing from Copies of Street Fighter V on PS4

Berto_Gamut

So instead of waiting for the Ultra Alpha Max EX-Plus version (which they said they wouldnt do with SFV) people just have to wait for the initial content that the game should've launched with. Good going Capcom, keep raking in the dough.

I'd be pissed if I had to grind to get Capcom-Bucks only to unlock a character that mysteriously disappears from my roster lol.

Re: Tales of Berseria's New Screenshots Welcome You to its World

Berto_Gamut

The Tales of series could use a darker tone, the past few releases just havent grabbed my interest. Xillia and Xillia2 hit a big slump, I couldnt finish them. Hearts R is decent but still forgettable. Zestiria looks nice but the story seems weak (especially the fusing with seraphim bits).

Hopefully Berseria does enough to feel fresh throughout, it definitely looks good for a PS3 game.
