Re: The Quiet Man - PS4's Most Baffling Game

I feel like Liam missed the point of the entire game here. You play as a deaf guy and view the world similarly to how he would, right? Why would there be any sound? Deaf people don't automatically know how to lip read so it looks more like the game shows you what it's like to be deaf which I think is pretty cool.

Re: Soapbox: Why God of War Will Scratch Your Zelda Itch

Yeah this is a huge stretch imo. It might have reminded you of some Zelda aspects, and I won't deny that it did for you. To me it was more of a Tomb Raider game with some compelling mythology behind it.

I think we can all agree though that the narrative in this one is about 1000x better than any other God of War released.

Re: Review: Dynasty Warriors 9 (PS4)

A patch hit yesterday, it resolves a lot of issues.

I'm not sure how beautiful a world people want when the game has to render a bunch of armies, as well as the fact it's a warzone, it doesn't need to be beautiful.

Also, I'm struggling to understand how having more weapons limits movesets but anyway.

Re: Review: Dynasty Warriors 9 (PS4)

"This issue is amplified by the fact that many characters have had their signature weapons taken away. Where Dynasty Warriors 8 ensured that every officer got their own unique moveset, Dynasty Warriors 9 brings back the clones, with some characters sharing weapon types and fighting styles. It's a real shame, because the varied movesets of games past really helped each hero stand out, and gave you more reason to take them for a spin."

You can literally use any weapon with any character and customise them how you like.

"The thing is, unless you know your Chinese history, you might end up selecting a character who only gets you through a small chunk of the story – and that can be a bit frustrating when you're just trying to unlock later chapters."

This actually doesn't matter?

I'm sorry but this review reads like the reviewer played the game for 2-3 hours.

Re: Soapbox: After the Vita's Failure, Why Do People Now Want Console Games on the Go?

Chunky_Droid

Alright, to break it down:

The whole notion of cross-save, cross-play and cross-buy is a nice concept. But you don't have to have two seperate consoles to achieve it on the Switch, you also don't have to constantly upload saves and swap devices. This is a no-brainer.

You can also use a decent controller on Switch games, the Joycons are much more comfortable than the tiny buttons on the Vita. I love the Vita for RPGS and Visual Novels but nothing else really. You also have Pro Controller and USB Controller (including Gamecube) options)

Popping the thing into a dock and instantly playing it on the TV is what brings it closer to being an actual console, instead of buying a PS3/PS4 and watching a sluggish Remote Play game.

The rear touch pad is the worst invention in the history of handhelds, and yes I am aware of the N-Gage.

The Vita's screen is also too small and in many games this interfered with the gameplay. The Switch's screen size seems to remedy this.

It's not about a difference in opinion, it's a difference in what was delivered by the company who made it. So many mistakes were made with the Vita, Nintendo have made some mistakes with the Switch so far but nothing anywhere near as damaging.

Re: People Really Aren't Happy with August's PlayStation Plus Games

Chunky_Droid

@MinerWilly Retro/Grade was a PS Plus game 4 years ago. It's not a bad title but those like me who already got it through this subscription service are only getting 5 games instead of 6. It's pretty poor form, not like they couldn't find some cheap throwaway PS3 game instead.

The only other explanation I can think of is that because Europe get the same as NA now perhaps Europe got it because NA never had it before?

Re: PlayStation Vita Has Sold 2.2 Million Units Since Launch

"We've given 14 Vita games a score of 8/10 or above on this website. How much time/money do people realistically have?"

Keep in mind that not everyone buys games just because they're rated 8/10 or higher, and I believe 4 of those are available on PS3, which most people would probably rather pick up.

I have a Vita myself, and the only thing I've bought for it so far is Touch My Katamari, which I've now finished. I am now hoping for something decent to come along in PS+, as I can't justify the price tag for half the games I'm even half interested in.

Re: Watch This LittleBigPlanet 2 Cross-Controller Demo

Chunky_Droid

I like the concept, I still like the idea of the Wii U more myself though, only because it will easily have more support due to there not being enough decent games for the Vita to get anywhere near the sales of the 3DS and (I'm predicting here) Wii U.

I have a Vita though so I'll take advantage of this where I can!
