Wow you know what ? I was so pleased with the KNACK-ATHON that I didn't take the time to verify that it was indeed added to my library. Yesterday, I realised that it wasn't : apparently, I just kept forgetting to go add it in the PS+ section. My gosh, I almost missed KNACK !! I'm so gratefull for having realised that just in time ! And by the way, this is not a joke, I'm really downloading Knack right now. And I'm gonna play it. Oh yeah. Be ready, KNACK !
I'm so tired of this god damn trio Fifa Call of GTA... So many people reduce "videogames" to this three titles, calling this activity a childich one (quite paradoxal whe you think of the public aimed by this titles).
I'm tired of explaining to people that videogames can be so much more than "Boum you're dead ! - Oh yeah GOAAAAAAAAAL - Hey nice I'm a criminal I can kill cops and go see hookers". When I talk about Journey, about Ico, about Lost Odissey, about Metal Gear Solid, about Zelda, when I say that videogames can tell stories in the same way cinema does, sometimes even better, making you feel real and powerfull emotions... people just don't believe me. Think I'm an alien. Videogames are childich and dangerous activities where you have to kill people and score some goals.
I respect your opinion on Megaton Rainfall but I so, SO disagree with it. Megaton Rainfall was a shock for me, it made me experience things I would never think of. I was litterally a Super-man, with abilities defying imagination. I flew into the void of space, felt so scared by this infinite, endless sea of stars... It was a metaphysical experience for me.
And this loneliness of this infinite space makes you feel at home only when you're on Earth, makes you WANT to protect it.
And the fights are so good ! Difficults, but not impossible. I was never expecting this amount of ideas in battles. And the final fight was... Well there is no words. It's so well written, so well tought to makes you feel in a special way (I won't spoil anything).
Despite its flaws from not being an AAA, I still consider to this day Megaton Rainfall an abolute masterpiece and the best thing I've ever played last year.
Wow. I MISSED THOSE TWO DAMN GAMES when they came out ! Don't know why, but I missed them ! They were on my "have to purchase someday" list for a while now... This is insane, PS+ is really cool again, nowadays, doesn't it ?
Yeah sure... "Parents don't know what loot boxes are, so we'll make sure that everything stay that way. They do not have to know. We totally do not have to inform them. So game compagnies can continue to screw parents by using their kids". Seriously... And these people are "specialists" ? They are paid for this kind of study, and for this kind of plan ? Off course, micro-transactions and DLCs have to be notified - the fact that we are used to them do not diminush the fact that this is scandalous to pay "something more" over a full-priced paid title. But I guess this is the way, now. But loot boxes are differents, this is an all new kind of game, here. They introduce the chance factor and make it commune directly to your wallet. It is f.... gambling. There's no way to deny that. And franckly, this has to stop. We already agreed to pay more for things that SHOULD HAVE BEEN integrated in the base game (those god damned Season Passes !!!), but we just cannot agree to let gamble becoming a game mechanic.
If I seem angry, yeah I am, cause like the good sheep that I am, I just gave Bandai Namco 35 more bucks to be sure that I'll get all the characters of Dragon Ball Fighter Z. I'm a DB Fanboy, and I'm weak, and I'm now a part of the problem. But the fact is : that game was offered to me, as a birthday present. And I had to spend money to COMPLETE the present. Althought, I know for a fact that the lovely person who gave me this present bought it for a regular full price.
I just finished to watch the entire trilogy (yesterday, actually), and my, oh my... What a great series of films ! I had seen the first one in theaters, a long time ago now, and missed the sequel for unknown reasons. So I just discovered 2 and 3. And if Dawn may be considered in the shadow of the great firt one ("Rise"), War is a total masterpiece I really didn't see coming. I mean... It's not just a "good movie", it is a real masterpiece. It's a movie I know that I'll still watch in twenty years. It's Apocalypse Now, 2001 A space Odyssey, the 10 commandments. This kind of movie.
As for the game... The trailer looks... Hum... I don't know, lame I think.
I find this running time perfect : Journey was 2 hours long and is still one of the best games I've ever played. Concerning Moss, I've only played the demo so far, but I'm sure the game will be gold. I prefer 4 brillant hours full of ideas over 10 hours of lame grinding and back and forth on the same type of level, etc...
Mixed feelings, here... I don't know, on one side, it looks very generic, and gives the impression you've already played that very same game one million times. But on the other side, I don't know, I'm surprised to find that something works here, and gives me the impulse to go buy it.
But yeah, it really looks like a Tales Of XXXVIII...
The summer issue of my favorite magazine... With all these pages on the E3, it was amazinf for my young eyes. No videos, no trailers, just pictures, some well written articles and you had to use your imagination.
At this time, we were litterally dreaming about some of these games, shaping them in our wildest imaginations...
Yeah I miss all of that. Internet is a great tool, it's a progress for mankind, blablibla... But I miss this expextation, the fact that we DIDN'T KNOW what was coming to us all.
I just want to add a capital B on my ID. For some reason, it's "bobobiwan" and not "Bobobiwan". Yeah, I know. Not a real problem. I know. But i I could change it, i would do it.
Already played A LOT of this incredible game on VITA - the graphics were amazing on that screen. I won't buy it again, but I may play my VITA version again, especially with the cross play announced, wich means new players to crush orcs with.
Great to see you did'nt forget Dead or Alive, even if it's so low in the classment. We always talk about its season passES (to this point, it is really... Ridiculous I think), or the girls and outfits, etc... But let's nor forget that it is STILL a great, great fighting game. I love it, it's instant fun, and in the same time, a noob who is button-mashing has not a single chance vs an experimented player
The only interst here is the PS2 emulation, and that's because Sony is WAY too shy on the matter of the PS2 classics on PS4. There is not enought titles, they are not marketed properly (still no "PS2 classic" section on the PsStore, games are labeled as simple Ps4 games and are, by definition, flowed with every others titles avalaible on the system), and by now there should be a PSONE section as well. Come on Sony I want to play Soul Reaver 2 on my PS4 (yeah I want things).
BUT... It's clear now that a ps4 system without a proper internet connection is useless. Even if you're a solo player, when you consider all the updates that you need to install (and DAY ONE !!), the online features even for single campaigns, etc... Funny when you consider that Sony won the battle with Xbox when there was a fuzz about the "youmustconnectyourxboxone" - gate... Eveybody (me included) praised Sony for the "normality" of their system (you can lend your games to a friend ! Internet is NOT recquired !!! OMG THAT'S NEAAAT !!)
And now, we all got our consoles connected. And that's good, that's ok. So bye-bye hacking and all that (more stability, Sony, quick !). But when you think about it... Maybe Microsoft was really just too much in advance. Like, one generation of advance. I'm very curious about what' next, now...
Just finished Inside on PS4 and I was really, really blown away. What a way to tell a story ! No words, no context, you just have to figure out what the hell is going on. And boy, things are indeed going on. Strange, chocking things.
I was really impressed by Limbo at the time (especially the ending) but I'm sure that I will remember Inside even in ten or twenty years. Yeah, it's THAT good. Off course, it depends of what kind of player you are, of what you're expecting from a videogame, etc... But for me, the game echoed perfectly with my sensibility.
I put it with Journey, in my mind. Same kind of "more than a videogame" experience, for me.
And now, I resumed my play of Xenoblade Chronicles on Wii (the first one), expecting to finish it this time, in order to play the sequel (X) next.
I simply refuse to buy new games until I finish at least most of the ones I received for Christmas ! XD It's very, very frustrating to not posess the time to actually play what you want to play. I know, I know : everyone's making his own life choices, etc... But damn. Anyway, the only one exception for me is Dragon Ball Fighter Z. That is an instant DAY ONE purchase that will put on hold my "to-do" list. The game seems to be that good.
What's beyond me is that some people, who don't posess the headset, are entirely CONVINCED that there are no games avalaible except Resident Evil 7 ("which is great, but I don't put 400 dollars for one game blalabla").
I honestly don't know if it's real misinformation or pure trolling.
I sincerely can't follow the rythm of PSVR releases : there is just too much games, and when its not necesseraly a money issue (a lot of these games are on sales, quite often), I just don't have the time to play it all.
When I bought the headset, I sincerely was not expecting that much of a follow-up from Sony and co. I was like : "maybe it's gonna be Vita 2 but what the hell ! It's Tron in real life !!". So glad I was wrong about that.
By the way, I'm more and more convinced that the inevitable PS5 will come straight away with a PSVR2. If not at launch, right after. Mark my words. (And what a threat it will be !!)
This is beyond reason : I just can't decide what to do with my wallet ! The Psvr seems to be blessed in this offer : superhot VR is 10 bucks only (instant buy !), Arizone Sunshine only 20 (heard the game is very good now, after multiples patchs and AIM support), the solus project is also 10...
I don't see why is there any fuzz about this... The purpose of a trailer is to show us a glimpse of what is to come... and in that case the actual game surpassed this target render, so yeah, in a way, you could say "it's the actual game ! Or... What it's gonna be. When it will be finished."
Killzone 2, what a game. I'm not a suker for FPS in general, but this one... Never again I felt so strong that I was litterally in HELL. In the hell of the battlefield. The graphics were awesome, sure, but the art direction, man... The neverending darkness, the fury of the battle, scene after scene... The most intense gaming memory I have.
What bothers me is that I don't intent to play the game until mid-2018, at least. I own a copy (cause I'm in love with thr first one), but basically, GR2 is on my "to-do-list", which is a big one cause I absolutely don't have the time to play everything I want. So I learned patience, and that's all right. Generaly, I "secure" a game by buying it when I found it at a good price, but I play it a year after, somtimes even more.
So, when I'll finally decide myself to play GR2, I'll have to play the game minus some content. And it's not right. Don't put costumes or things like that in an online fonctionality, if you don't intent to keep servers online, at least until the end of the gen.
This is stupid but for a long time I was hoping to put a capital letter on the first one of my ID. A long time ago it was "Bobobiwan" then my Ps3 died. When I bought a new one, I didn't remember my password and had to recreate an acoount. So "bobobiwan". Curiously, it seems that my first ID disapeared from any Sony database, I don't know. It's stupid but if I can manage to get my B capital back, then I'll do it.
I've always been a fan of Drake, but I don't know... This episode just didn't click for me. I really liked the story, the characters and the acting (especially those quiets moments the article mentions) but the gameplay... just... bored me. No troll or disrespect, here, I don't know... i feel like I had to use this rope a thousand times, or to push a thousand boxes to climb on it... I don't know. I played it straight after Tom Raider : definitive edition, a game I totally missed the previous generation... And I honestly find this reboot of Tomb Raider better thant U4. I don't know for Rise of the TR (which I own, still have to find the time to play it) but this first episode of the reboor franchise took back the throne of adventure games, for me. Anyway, no intention here to (re)start a Lara-Nathan war... just my personnal feeling, that's all 8)
I just managed to secure from Santa himself a copy of Yakuza 0 as a christmas gift. I'm eager to play it since launch day, as it seems like the perfect entry point in the saga, and a very, very good game in itself.
Nier automata is another one I need to buy very soon. I really liked the first Nier (althought it didn't strike me down as the ultimate mastepiece of all time that some people describe to me), and I found the demo very cool.
On the opposite, I just can't manage to hype myself for Horizon. It really seems to be a good game, but I don't know. I don't feel the need to play it ASAP, like Yakuza 0 and Nier Automata. Oh, and Persona 5, too, comes first.
Please die, come on please die now !! You can dot it, why don't you just DIE ??? Oh. Sorry, wasn't talking violently of EA, but of this new habbit in videogames. COME ON ! WE ALREADY HAVE PAID THE DAMN GAME, SO WHY DO YOU WANT TO CHARGE US MORE ?
Whatever the flaws, I think I just can't sit there and not buying this one. My AIM CONTROLER is itching, even if it does look like it won't be as perfect as Farpoint on this side of things.
@get2sammyb I totally agree with the Push Team on this : I loved the game, despite it flaws, but what I really don't understand here is the business model.
We're not talking about an MMORPG, where people pay every month to see new content. FFXV is a solo RPG (well, untill that recent expansion), with not a single micro-transaction built in it. You buy the game, you play the game, end of the game. Then you move on to another game.
So what's going on with all these updates ? How can Square Enix justify the COST of all this ? I mean, and that's my question to the Push Team : do we know if this DLCs-and-updates-extravanganza had any impact on the SALES of the game ? Does the game continue to be bought, massively, one year after its release ? Is there any income, here, for Square Enix, or are they just being stubborn on this ? Like, I don't know : "We said we're doing it so now WE'RE DOING IT ! F**** IT !" xD
Psvr is the real deal. It's not a try, or a beta, as some people seem to want it to be. It works, it really works. "Yeah but the resolution blablablobedibla" it absolutely doesn't matter when you're in your game world. You get used to this resolution in a second. No grid effect, so you forget the screen.
"Yeah interesting but I'll wait for PSVR 2, which will be the real sh..." yeah right, and don't forget to wait for Ps5 either. Oh, no, wait, surely there will be a 6th after that, no ?
Yeah I love my PSVR. Best piece of hardware I invested in years. I like my Ps4, but I love my PSVR.
Well, it IS a form of gambling. They're right on this. Personnaly I do not play much online, and I just discovered the concept of those boxes with the last version of EVE VALKYRIE : when they changed the game and its system with the Warzone expansion (an automatic and free expansion), they addeds this system. So, when I reach a certain lvl, or a certain amount of xp, or when I success a type of challenge, I'm granted with some boxes to open. And indeed, opening those boxes felt to me like gambling : oh, what's it gonna be ?
The thing is, those in Valkyrie are essentially cosmetic, but you can also find XP boosters. And off course, if you're lazy, you can buy these lootboxes with real money.
From my point of view, it is a dangerous system. Charge what you want for this DLC or this haircut for your character, or whatever. But don't charge just for A CHANCE TO WIN one of those little things.
Or hey, even better : stop this charging crap, and just make a good game, where you get everything simply foe having bought the damn game.
1) I never played Skyrim (have the game on 360 since the beginning of time, but I always said : "yeah, I'll do it next. But first, this other game !") 2) I do have a Psvr and I genualy love it
So I'M TOTALLY EXCITED for this game !! Whatever the downgrade they come with, this is a FULL-SCALE GRAND RPG in F*** VIRTUAL REALITY !! This is the promise to escape to an another world. It's THE MATRIX !!
@BAMozzy I can see your point on the "reading" aspect that can take you out of the story.
But when you write that you "see no reason... Just because it's set in Japan", well, you did just give the reason. It's a question of suspension of disbelief : when you read subtitles, you understand at every second that you are accessing the translation of another language.
But when voices are dubbed in your foreign language, say for exemple, english, it's a process that is designed to trick your mind, to make you think that the characters are actually speaking your language... A language that, most of the time, they just CANNOT know. Making the all thing incoherent.
Personnally, even when I was a child I couldn't understand why american people were ALL talking FRENCH in my movies... (Yeah, cause I'm french, and TV programs didn't offer the sub option at the time). I mean, I was like "yeah, sure, the mayor of New York is speaking IN FRENCH to all his new yorkers citizens... Oh and the president of the united states, too. I guess he should be French by his mother, or something...". It just doesn't make any sense.
Sure, it's easier. But it doesn't make any sense.
So, a japanese samurai story ? Please, add the japanese language, in option, for those who can't stand english samurai.
I really loved the first Last of Us, but this trailer did get me out of the hype-train. I don't know, maybe it was too dark, too violent for my taste. And I perfectly understand that this kind of violence, here, in this context, is justified, cause it's supposed to make us think about it - what violence lies in the human heart when the laws are gone, etc... This is not dumb violence meant to be fun, like in any FPS you could think of. We were supposed to be chocked by this trailer, I get it.
But still. It didn't get on me.
Maybe its also because I never wanted a sequel to The Last of Us. I found at the time that the ending was absolutely perfect. Kind of thing that makes you think, that makes you talk with your buddies, around a beer, about who dig it and who didn't. It was perfect.
So no matter what, I just can't manage to be hyped for this sequel. It's beyond me.
As far as I remember, the game already looked awesome. Framerate was always top-notch, too. So I guess it's something for 4K Tv users, like supersampling or what. Cause the game was already 1080p 60 fps. And it was awesome.
Blood and Truth is the only one that really made me eager to play it. Furthermore, I think I'm gonna buy PSVR Worlds, now, just to play London Heist ! Hyped !
Is this really the same team that developped London Heist ? So that game would be the sequel of it ? Or are they just two similar games ? Anyway, excited by it !
Funny how I can hear Palpatine's words, when I read something related to this game : " I can FEEL your angER ! It gives you FOCUS ! Makes you STRONG ! Use it ! STRIKE ME DOWN !! " XD
I don't know, am I the only one who still think this game can be good ? Generations was good in my book. Not just OK, definitly good. As far as I can tell, FORCES seems to take this way... Don't you think ?
I've read on some PSVR forum a guy, who seemed to be an insider, who claimed that "fans of a certain SF franchise will just go nutz".
So, maybe it's all fake and all, but it also could indicate a VR mode for Star Wars Battlefront 2 (EA is totally silent on this, for the moment)... I bet it would be far more ambitious than the single one mission we had on the first episode : cause as fantastic as it was, it was short.
Can you imagine an annoucement like : "all flying missions or flying matches will be VR compatible !". It would definitly seal the deal for me.
Still playing a lot of Eve Valkyrie on PSVR, since the last update basically put the game in its 2.0 version (which is awesome). On the other hand, I have a lot to do on the Snes mini : just finished Super Mario World (didn't aged at all), and played a lot of Starfox, F-Zero and Street Fighter 2 Turbo (all important pieces of my childhood).
Ouch ! I respect your opinion but find it a little harsh on the edges... Sure the game isn't perfect but... A 5 ?? Come on, it obviously deserves a fair 7, and not because of the price or the one-single-man-job... But because of the experience delivered, which is astonishing.
Remember to play this game in VR, and standing on your feet. The purpose here is to be Superman, so, act like one
@StygianAgenda yeah I did that and everything else, but nothing worked... Until I try to recalibrate in every direction in the REVII demo (wich contents a calibration room, at the beginning of the tutorial). The problem was almost solved at that time. And it seems to having fixed itself since. Maybe a firmware update, like you wrote. Anyway, I enjoyed the new version of Eve Valkyrie all day long, everything now works as a charm
I want a freaking review of MEGATON RAINFALL !! Does this game delivers on every level, or is it a huge disapointment ? Cause... Look at the trailer : seems like the ultimate game to me !! So... Is it ?
I love Drive Club too. Got also Bikes, and VR. It's a really great game, with graphics still jaw-dropping and an unlimited amount of content. I'll stick with it, for now. Still have plenty to finish in it.

And now, we all got our consoles connected. And that's good, that's ok. So bye-bye hacking and all that (more stability, Sony, quick !). But when you think about it... Maybe Microsoft was really just too much in advance. Like, one generation of advance. I'm very curious about what' next, now...
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 203
Just finished Inside on PS4 and I was really, really blown away. What a way to tell a story ! No words, no context, you just have to figure out what the hell is going on. And boy, things are indeed going on. Strange, chocking things.
I was really impressed by Limbo at the time (especially the ending) but I'm sure that I will remember Inside even in ten or twenty years. Yeah, it's THAT good. Off course, it depends of what kind of player you are, of what you're expecting from a videogame, etc... But for me, the game echoed perfectly with my sensibility.
I put it with Journey, in my mind. Same kind of "more than a videogame" experience, for me.
And now, I resumed my play of Xenoblade Chronicles on Wii (the first one), expecting to finish it this time, in order to play the sequel (X) next.
Re: Guide: New PS4 Games Releasing in January 2018
I simply refuse to buy new games until I finish at least most of the ones I received for Christmas ! XD
It's very, very frustrating to not posess the time to actually play what you want to play. I know, I know : everyone's making his own life choices, etc... But damn.
Anyway, the only one exception for me is Dragon Ball Fighter Z. That is an instant DAY ONE purchase that will put on hold my "to-do" list. The game seems to be that good.
Re: Sony Expects PSVR's Library to Almost Double in 2018
What's beyond me is that some people, who don't posess the headset, are entirely CONVINCED that there are no games avalaible except Resident Evil 7 ("which is great, but I don't put 400 dollars for one game blalabla").
I honestly don't know if it's real misinformation or pure trolling.
I sincerely can't follow the rythm of PSVR releases : there is just too much games, and when its not necesseraly a money issue (a lot of these games are on sales, quite often), I just don't have the time to play it all.
When I bought the headset, I sincerely was not expecting that much of a follow-up from Sony and co. I was like : "maybe it's gonna be Vita 2 but what the hell ! It's Tron in real life !!". So glad I was wrong about that.
By the way, I'm more and more convinced that the inevitable PS5 will come straight away with a PSVR2. If not at launch, right after. Mark my words. (And what a threat it will be !!)
Re: Sony Discounts Over 1,000 Items in Colossal EU PS Store Sale
This is beyond reason : I just can't decide what to do with my wallet ! The Psvr seems to be blessed in this offer : superhot VR is 10 bucks only (instant buy !), Arizone Sunshine only 20 (heard the game is very good now, after multiples patchs and AIM support), the solus project is also 10...
What the... Wow.
Re: Guerrilla Finally Admits That Killzone 2's PS3 Reveal Trailer Was a Big Fat Fake
I don't see why is there any fuzz about this... The purpose of a trailer is to show us a glimpse of what is to come... and in that case the actual game surpassed this target render, so yeah, in a way, you could say "it's the actual game ! Or... What it's gonna be. When it will be finished."
Killzone 2, what a game. I'm not a suker for FPS in general, but this one... Never again I felt so strong that I was litterally in HELL. In the hell of the battlefield. The graphics were awesome, sure, but the art direction, man... The neverending darkness, the fury of the battle, scene after scene... The most intense gaming memory I have.
Re: Gravity Rush Fans Fight to Keep Sequel's Servers Online
What bothers me is that I don't intent to play the game until mid-2018, at least. I own a copy (cause I'm in love with thr first one), but basically, GR2 is on my "to-do-list", which is a big one cause I absolutely don't have the time to play everything I want. So I learned patience, and that's all right.
Generaly, I "secure" a game by buying it when I found it at a good price, but I play it a year after, somtimes even more.
So, when I'll finally decide myself to play GR2, I'll have to play the game minus some content. And it's not right. Don't put costumes or things like that in an online fonctionality, if you don't intent to keep servers online, at least until the end of the gen.
Re: PSX 2017: Sony Working to Allow PSN Name Changes within the Next Year
This is stupid but for a long time I was hoping to put a capital letter on the first one of my ID. A long time ago it was "Bobobiwan" then my Ps3 died. When I bought a new one, I didn't remember my password and had to recreate an acoount. So "bobobiwan". Curiously, it seems that my first ID disapeared from any Sony database, I don't know.
It's stupid but if I can manage to get my B capital back, then I'll do it.

Re: Game of the Year 2016: #1 - Uncharted 4: A Thief's End
I've always been a fan of Drake, but I don't know... This episode just didn't click for me. I really liked the story, the characters and the acting (especially those quiets moments the article mentions) but the gameplay... just... bored me. No troll or disrespect, here, I don't know... i feel like I had to use this rope a thousand times, or to push a thousand boxes to climb on it... I don't know.
I played it straight after Tom Raider : definitive edition, a game I totally missed the previous generation... And I honestly find this reboot of Tomb Raider better thant U4. I don't know for Rise of the TR (which I own, still have to find the time to play it) but this first episode of the reboor franchise took back the throne of adventure games, for me.
Anyway, no intention here to (re)start a Lara-Nathan war... just my personnal feeling, that's all 8)
Re: Site News: Push Square Forum Votes Horizon: Zero Dawn as Game of the Year
I just managed to secure from Santa himself a copy of Yakuza 0 as a christmas gift. I'm eager to play it since launch day, as it seems like the perfect entry point in the saga, and a very, very good game in itself.
Nier automata is another one I need to buy very soon. I really liked the first Nier (althought it didn't strike me down as the ultimate mastepiece of all time that some people describe to me), and I found the demo very cool.
On the opposite, I just can't manage to hype myself for Horizon. It really seems to be a good game, but I don't know. I don't feel the need to play it ASAP, like Yakuza 0 and Nier Automata. Oh, and Persona 5, too, comes first.
Re: After the Battlefront 2 Scandal, EA UFC 3's Beta Sounds Like a Disaster

Oh. Sorry, wasn't talking violently of EA, but of this new habbit in videogames. COME ON ! WE ALREADY HAVE PAID THE DAMN GAME, SO WHY DO YOU WANT TO CHARGE US MORE ?
Re: Review: DOOM VFR (PS4)
Whatever the flaws, I think I just can't sit there and not buying this one. My AIM CONTROLER is itching, even if it does look like it won't be as perfect as Farpoint on this side of things.

I see it as a kind of new Young Indiana Jones movie...

Maybe we can try to grab the Aim Controller with just one hand, punisher-style... And a Ps Move in the other hand for grenade xD
Re: It Never Ends, Final Fantasy XV Getting 'At Least' 3 More DLC Story Episodes in 2018
@get2sammyb I totally agree with the Push Team on this : I loved the game, despite it flaws, but what I really don't understand here is the business model.
We're not talking about an MMORPG, where people pay every month to see new content. FFXV is a solo RPG (well, untill that recent expansion), with not a single micro-transaction built in it. You buy the game, you play the game, end of the game. Then you move on to another game.
So what's going on with all these updates ? How can Square Enix justify the COST of all this ? I mean, and that's my question to the Push Team : do we know if this DLCs-and-updates-extravanganza had any impact on the SALES of the game ? Does the game continue to be bought, massively, one year after its release ? Is there any income, here, for Square Enix, or are they just being stubborn on this ? Like, I don't know : "We said we're doing it so now WE'RE DOING IT ! F**** IT !" xD
Re: Demon's Souls Servers Prepare to Die Next Year in Japan
The game is still sleeping on my PS3 (part of the ps+ deal, a long time ago). I still plan to play it, someday. Looks amazing.
Re: PSVR Dominating as Virtual Reality Sector Passes Major Milestone
Psvr is the real deal. It's not a try, or a beta, as some people seem to want it to be. It works, it really works.
"Yeah but the resolution blablablobedibla" it absolutely doesn't matter when you're in your game world. You get used to this resolution in a second. No grid effect, so you forget the screen.
"Yeah interesting but I'll wait for PSVR 2, which will be the real sh..." yeah right, and don't forget to wait for Ps5 either. Oh, no, wait, surely there will be a 6th after that, no ?
Yeah I love my PSVR. Best piece of hardware I invested in years. I like my Ps4, but I love my PSVR.
Re: Hands On: Will Monster of the Deep's Final Fantasy Fishing Reel You In?
Wow. Didn't see that coming. I was expecting a crappy, over-priced minigame ! XD
Now, you actually make me interested in it, especially when we all know that you guys don't hesitate to tell what you don't like on FFXV.
Re: Gran Turismo Sport Scores Traditional Single Player Campaign for Free
Wow, now it's definitly on my "do want" purchase list !
Honestly, I didn't see this solo update coming ! Well done, Polyphony, well done !
Re: Belgium Reckons Loot Boxes Are Gambling, Wants Them Banned in Europe
Well, it IS a form of gambling. They're right on this. Personnaly I do not play much online, and I just discovered the concept of those boxes with the last version of EVE VALKYRIE : when they changed the game and its system with the Warzone expansion (an automatic and free expansion), they addeds this system.
So, when I reach a certain lvl, or a certain amount of xp, or when I success a type of challenge, I'm granted with some boxes to open. And indeed, opening those boxes felt to me like gambling : oh, what's it gonna be ?
The thing is, those in Valkyrie are essentially cosmetic, but you can also find XP boosters. And off course, if you're lazy, you can buy these lootboxes with real money.
From my point of view, it is a dangerous system. Charge what you want for this DLC or this haircut for your character, or whatever. But don't charge just for A CHANCE TO WIN one of those little things.
Or hey, even better : stop this charging crap, and just make a good game, where you get everything simply foe having bought the damn game.
Re: Hands On: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Has Improved Massively with PlayStation VR
1) I never played Skyrim (have the game on 360 since the beginning of time, but I always said : "yeah, I'll do it next. But first, this other game !")
2) I do have a Psvr and I genualy love it
So I'M TOTALLY EXCITED for this game !! Whatever the downgrade they come with, this is a FULL-SCALE GRAND RPG in F*** VIRTUAL REALITY !! This is the promise to escape to an another world. It's THE MATRIX !!

Re: PS4 Exclusive Ghost of Tsushima's Trailer Is Way Better in Japanese
@BAMozzy I can see your point on the "reading" aspect that can take you out of the story.
But when you write that you "see no reason... Just because it's set in Japan", well, you did just give the reason. It's a question of suspension of disbelief : when you read subtitles, you understand at every second that you are accessing the translation of another language.
But when voices are dubbed in your foreign language, say for exemple, english, it's a process that is designed to trick your mind, to make you think that the characters are actually speaking your language... A language that, most of the time, they just CANNOT know. Making the all thing incoherent.
Personnally, even when I was a child I couldn't understand why american people were ALL talking FRENCH in my movies... (Yeah, cause I'm french, and TV programs didn't offer the sub option at the time). I mean, I was like "yeah, sure, the mayor of New York is speaking IN FRENCH to all his new yorkers citizens... Oh and the president of the united states, too. I guess he should be French by his mother, or something...". It just doesn't make any sense.
Sure, it's easier. But it doesn't make any sense.
So, a japanese samurai story ? Please, add the japanese language, in option, for those who can't stand english samurai.
Re: PGW 2017: PlayStation Boss Comments on Controversial Last of Us 2 Trailer
I really loved the first Last of Us, but this trailer did get me out of the hype-train. I don't know, maybe it was too dark, too violent for my taste. And I perfectly understand that this kind of violence, here, in this context, is justified, cause it's supposed to make us think about it - what violence lies in the human heart when the laws are gone, etc...
This is not dumb violence meant to be fun, like in any FPS you could think of. We were supposed to be chocked by this trailer, I get it.
But still. It didn't get on me.
Maybe its also because I never wanted a sequel to The Last of Us. I found at the time that the ending was absolutely perfect. Kind of thing that makes you think, that makes you talk with your buddies, around a beer, about who dig it and who didn't. It was perfect.
So no matter what, I just can't manage to be hyped for this sequel. It's beyond me.
Re: PGW 2017: Metal Gear Solid V Sneaks a PS4 Pro Patch, Out Now
As far as I remember, the game already looked awesome. Framerate was always top-notch, too. So I guess it's something for 4K Tv users, like supersampling or what. Cause the game was already 1080p 60 fps. And it was awesome.
Re: PGW 2017: PlayStation VR Restocked with Several New Releases
Blood and Truth is the only one that really made me eager to play it. Furthermore, I think I'm gonna buy PSVR Worlds, now, just to play London Heist ! Hyped !
Re: PGW 2017: Blood & Truth Is The London Heist Expanded for PlayStation VR
Is this really the same team that developped London Heist ? So that game would be the sequel of it ?
Or are they just two similar games ?
Anyway, excited by it !
Re: We Can't Handle the Sonic Forces Demo, Apparently
Funny how I can hear Palpatine's words, when I read something related to this game : " I can FEEL your angER ! It gives you FOCUS ! Makes you STRONG ! Use it ! STRIKE ME DOWN !! " XD
I don't know, am I the only one who still think this game can be good ? Generations was good in my book. Not just OK, definitly good. As far as I can tell, FORCES seems to take this way... Don't you think ?
Re: Feature: 10 PS4 Predictions for Sony's Paris Games Week Press Conference
I've read on some PSVR forum a guy, who seemed to be an insider, who claimed that "fans of a certain SF franchise will just go nutz".
So, maybe it's all fake and all, but it also could indicate a VR mode for Star Wars Battlefront 2 (EA is totally silent on this, for the moment)... I bet it would be far more ambitious than the single one mission we had on the first episode : cause as fantastic as it was, it was short.
Can you imagine an annoucement like : "all flying missions or flying matches will be VR compatible !". It would definitly seal the deal for me.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 192
Still playing a lot of Eve Valkyrie on PSVR, since the last update basically put the game in its 2.0 version (which is awesome).
On the other hand, I have a lot to do on the Snes mini : just finished Super Mario World (didn't aged at all), and played a lot of Starfox, F-Zero and Street Fighter 2 Turbo (all important pieces of my childhood).
Re: Review: Megaton Rainfall (PS4)
Ouch ! I respect your opinion but find it a little harsh on the edges... Sure the game isn't perfect but... A 5 ?? Come on, it obviously deserves a fair 7, and not because of the price or the one-single-man-job... But because of the experience delivered, which is astonishing.
Remember to play this game in VR, and standing on your feet. The purpose here is to be Superman, so, act like one
Re: Sony Stealth Announced a Slew of PlayStation VR Games
@StygianAgenda yeah I did that and everything else, but nothing worked... Until I try to recalibrate in every direction in the REVII demo (wich contents a calibration room, at the beginning of the tutorial). The problem was almost solved at that time.
And it seems to having fixed itself since. Maybe a firmware update, like you wrote. Anyway, I enjoyed the new version of Eve Valkyrie all day long, everything now works as a charm
Re: Store Update: 17th October 2017 (Europe)
I want a freaking review of MEGATON RAINFALL !! Does this game delivers on every level, or is it a huge disapointment ? Cause... Look at the trailer : seems like the ultimate game to me !! So... Is it ?
Re: Feature: DriveClub Is An Alternative to Gran Turismo Sport Worth Considering
I love Drive Club too. Got also Bikes, and VR. It's a really great game, with graphics still jaw-dropping and an unlimited amount of content. I'll stick with it, for now. Still have plenty to finish in it.
