@NathanUC I'm a long time Hunter and rest assured, these monsters were significantly weakened for the Beta. Monster Hunter takes a lot of discipline and there are many monsters that will absolutely destroy you and force you to go back and grind other monsters for a stronger weapon/armor set. They had to dumb down the monsters since this game is reaching a much wider user base than it did on the 3DS.
Post launch content wasn't the issue! The issue was all the post launch content was chopped from the core game to be sold back to us as extras. The whole story was complete garbage and lost all continuity and reason because of the complete hack job they did to the game. Furthermore, the way people were locked out of their DLC content that they paid unless they paid for the newest DLC was complete bull. Not to mention all the broken promises and condescending attitude of the producers. I mean...remember when they went on record saying we'd be throwing money at the screen for $4.99 dance emotes which they promised they'd never do to begin with? No Activision...the problem is not that you didn't put out enough post launch content. The problem is that you had zero respect for the fans!
These half generation console upgrades are a terrible idea! If I wanted to upgrade my hardware every 2-3 years I'd have bought a gaming computer. I liked the simplicity of a console. I buy it, and for the next 6-7 years I have a system I can play all the latest and greatest games on. But now that we have half generation upgrades with the best version of games being on the latest and greatest system I can't help but feel like I'm being alienated. Sure Sony can put all these rules in place saying developers can't add any extra gameplay features to the newer iteration consoles...but then what the hell is the point in having them anyway? For a slight bump in graphic fidelity?
What made The Last of US's opening so good was how quickly it engrossed me into the game. 15 minutes in and I already felt devastated by Joel's loss. No other game has ever gave me feels like so quickly.
Sony has seen just how successful a product can be when you undercut the competition by $100. The Rift is $600...the PSVR will be $499. I'd bet a substantial amount of money on that. Sony did say it'd be priced around that of a console, and $499 has been a very common price point for consoles early on.
Michael Pachter has a terrible track record in the gaming industry. He either states the stupidly obvious, or stupidly obscene. This is one of those really obvious predictions. How he remains a relevant name in gaming news is just beyond me!
I'm just glad that the game is an enjoyable experience. It finally pulled all my friends off of Destiny thank god! I was so done with that game 5 months ago. ESO is great if you have a group of friends.
I'm interested in Morpheus, but only willing to spend $200-$250 for it. It will also need a ton of support from various games, it can't be like the move which really didn't have any notable games for it, and was nearly forgotten about a year later.
The game is just rather boring. I played in the Beta for a little bit but there's nothing special about it. The gunplay feels very clunky, traversing the map is very tedious, vehicles don't have fluid controls, and the game is just too open ended. You never feel like you're accomplishing anything. I wasn't crazy for it, plus the whole free to play formula just means that all the best content is behind a pay wall giving an unfair advantage to the premium players.
Who supports this mobile crap!?! Microtransactions, endless DLC, waiting hours-days in real time for upgrades to finish...the mobile gaming market is horrendous and is tainting the rest of the gaming industry. Stop support these pathetic games!
We mocked the XB1 at E3 2013 because it was being marketed as a all in one media box. Microsoft devoted a ton of time to television/cable aspects of the machine and everyone lauded them for it...WTF are you doing Sony!?! PS+ is a subscription service for a console. How about spending money to improve the quality of PS+ games and investing in more first party studios/games. We don't want television shows!!!
A decent month...would have liked something a little bit better in celebration of E3 but I never bought Ground Zero due to the reviews mocking it for it's lack of content. At least I have something from ps+ I'll play in June.
This is news? I'd be more shocked if they said we couldn't pilot them. I also expect to be able to pilot an ATAT as well. The game is already lacking in content...I'm still not fully convinced to buy it yet.
Pachter has a pretty good track record for being wrong. I honestly don't know why he's such a big voice in the gaming industry. He's strongly biased towards Microsoft and just spews random crap for the attention.
Still not gonna change the awful loot system, boring grind, repetitive missions, lack of raid matchmaking, and god awful load time for the tower? Ya, I'm not coming back Bungie.
I've seen Knack on sale for $10 in recent weeks. Might be time to see some AAA launch titles go free. I'm still hoping for Octodad to join the PS+ line up in the coming months.
My group of friends loved to play zombies! For a couple months we would hop on every single night and play. Loved those moments when we were all frantically running the lap around the map with no ammo and finally using a grenade were able to get a max ammo! Our best was level 41 on Kino.
My first multiplayer game was Modern Warfare 2. I began as a complete noob being destroyed every match. But I just couldn't get enough of the game! I still remember when I got my first nuke. I was on kill 24 and there was only 15 seconds left in the match. My heart was pumping, I was terrified that I might miss my chance! A guy came up behind me and in all fairness should have killed me but for whatever reason he couldn't land a shot and I spun around and knifed him. 11 seconds left in the game and I called down my nuke! Definitely one of my most memorable multiplayer experiences. I miss that game shame the multiplayer is only filled with hackers anymore.
Are you kidding me? So they did give us half a game (once you include the season pass content) and now plan to sell us the other half as well!?! What a bunch of bull crap! Please don't buy this, don't support this sort of business model!
Pachter just won't shut up will he? He has absolutely no idea what he's talking about and is notorious for his ridiculous predictions. Not to mention he is one of the biggest Microsoft fanboys you'll see. This quote alone speaks volumes about just how clueless he is. “That’s where Nintendo right now is suffering because they still don’t have the quantity of exclusives to drive the console." Haha, you've got to be kidding, he honestly thinks nintendo is suffering a shortage of exclusives right now?
My console was having standby problems prior to the 2.0 update. I called the support number and they had me rebuild the database in safemode. Haven't had any problems since then.
Pachter also believed: -That the XB1 would be the leading console this generation after the E3 2013 "Deal With It". -That the PSP would demolish the DS in sales. -The Wii wouldn't sell half as many units as the PS3 and 360. -The 3DS would flop vs the Vita.
@darkswabber Well the servers won't be turned on until Monday morning, so you still won't be able to play it then, but even then there won't be many other players to play with.
Oh please, half of Microsoft's E3 this year was just saying "and you get early access only on Xbox One". They love having CoD play favorites to them, but as soon as Sony starts paying devs to promote their console, Microsoft gets all butthurt.
It's simple. The PS4 is selling so well because it was cheaper, more powerful, and at E3 2013 told the consumers exactly what they wanted to hear after Microsoft's DRM crap.
I love the multiplayer! If only they could resolve the 5 minute wait to find a session, and fix the netcode. I've been killed behind cover way to often.
