Re: First Impressions: The Witcher 3 May Be One of the Best Games on PS4

Crimson_Ridley

@Aslanmagic Splatoon has been a very difficult decision for me. When they announced it, I got really excited about a new Nintendo IP, and thought it looked like a lot of fun, so I pre-ordered it as soon as I could. I've just cancelled my order, after thinking about it for quite some time, and deciding that as I don't have any friends with a Wii U, I wouldn't get a quarter of the enjoyment from it, and I'm not really a multiplayer gamer anyway.

Re: Feature: How Does The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Look and Run on PS4?

Crimson_Ridley

Only a couple of days to go! However, I'm about as confident in GAME's ability to deliver on time as I am that we'll ever get a new Clock Tower game (I loved that series!), especially after they canceled my CE order the first time. I'm expecting to pay the game sometime next Thursday.

I'm still annoyed that the X1 got exclusive physical content though, even if it's not fantastic stuff, it still sucks I had to pay full price for what is effectively a lesser CE.

Re: Sony's Seemingly Forming a Fresh First-Party Studio for Project Morpheus

Crimson_Ridley

I'll have to check .hack out as I do like SAO and I'm not ashamed to admit it, just because anime elitists have a big vendetta against it (I don't know about here, but it was despised on another forum I was on). As for Morpheus itself, I have zero interest and think it's a waste of resources. While the gimmick sounds cool, it's nothing more than that, a gimmick. I'll happily sit in front of a TV for hours and play, but VR would only hold my interest for 20 minutes at a time.

@mitcHELLspawn I was talking to everyone that constantly makes these comparisons and has to shove down everyone's throats that PC gaming is better. I know the PS4 isn't the best platform, as the PC is better. In fact, it annoys me that the next-gen isn't really a step up from last-gen, but the internet is so annoying with it's constant PC master race talk.

Re: Feature: How Does The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Look and Run on PS4?

Crimson_Ridley

Yeah, yeah, the gaming PC debate really is getting old. I've almost built my PC but I won't be banging on about playing games on it, because only you yourself really cares. It's a PS site, stop trying to sour everything with the "PC is better" spiel. Of course it will run better on a PC, I'd be shocked if it didn't, this article is about how it runs on the PS4. I'm happy to hear that it's a decent runner, as I was starting to get concerned that there were going to be some major problems.

Re: No, We Don't Fancy Committing Suicide with Project Morpheus Either

Crimson_Ridley

I really struggle to find virtual reality interesting. I'm more than contempt with sitting on my couch playing a game with a controller in my hand. Too much emphasis is being put on virtual reality headsets these days, and it's just going to be years of crappy prototype games getting used to it that the gaming world could end up sucking for a while. This kind of evolution isn't necessary, in my opinion.

Re: The Escapists Flee to PS4 from 29th May

Crimson_Ridley

The Escapists is great on the PC, but I do agree that it's a perfect fit for a handheld. It's a shame that because there's not much money to be made on the Vita anymore that games like this are going to skip it. As long as Japan doesn't forget about it.

Re: Batman: Arkham Knight Delays Its Vigilante Justice on PlayStation 4

Crimson_Ridley

While it's disappointing to hear the game has been delayed, it works in my favour. ComicCon is in May, and it'll be an expensive trip for me with all the merchandise begging to be bought. Batman will now come out after the following pay day, so I can spend even more at ComicCon!

Did you see the new gameplay trailer?! Fantastic stuff! It's very familiar, with the UI and counter icons, but the game looks so different in comparison to the other titles. I'm going to be so excited when I get my hands on it!

Re: March's Free PlayStation Plus Games include Oddworld PS4, OlliOlli 2, and Valiant Hearts

Crimson_Ridley

Oddworld is awesome! I already have it, but I'm glad more people are going to get to try it out! I'm very happy to see Valiant, as I've been holding off buying it because it looked like a perfect candidate for PS+. OlliOlli2 is a welcome addition, and though I won't bother downloading Sherlock (great game, but I finished it on Xbox One), it's well worth a try if you like mystery games.

Overall, a very good month. Thank you, Sony.

Re: Site News: Fill in Our Reader Survey and We'll Give You a Gold Star

Crimson_Ridley

Done it for you guys. I'm actually a fan of optional subscriptions to a site, as I've done it for Xbox Achievements and True Achievements in the past. I like the idea of offering my help in keeping the site running through a monetary solution, and that I'm never forced to do so if I can't afford it, but can still view the content on the site.

Re: The Last of Us' Ellie Is Poised to Become One of the Most Famous Characters in Gaming

Crimson_Ridley

I think Ellie was made in to a gay character just because of how much being gay mattered in 2013/14. I have gay friends and they don't feel that they need to go around shouting about how they are gay, but people in the media/gaming/celebrities have decided that it should be focused on. If you're gay, you're gay, it's absolutely fine, but it needn't be something that is made a big deal of. I agree with BLP; Ellie's sexuality should not make her as popular as she apparently is, and as TooGood said, it certainly should not have been the main aspect of her character that they singled out.

Would this GLAAD have even cared an ounce for Ellie is she wasn't gay? No, I doubt they would.

Re: Guide: How to Use Your 10 Per Cent Off PSN Voucher on PS4, PS3, and PlayStation Vita

Crimson_Ridley

I was going to buy Resident Evil, but then I thought that would probably go down in price at some point, plus I fancy playing the Gamecube version for nostalgic purposes first. Then I thought I would pick up GoT and TFtB, but then realised that ALL Telltale games go down in price drastically, so I just bought the Bioshock Infinite DLC. I was going to get them anyway, but I saved 83p.

Re: Poll: What Will You Be Spending Your 10 Per Cent PSN Discount On?

Crimson_Ridley

Stop moaning (those of you that are). Sony doesn't need to apologise for anything. A DDoS attack is something that can't really be countered, and if people are determined enough they can just keep hitting them with it. The network was down, and it sucked, but look for an apology off the people responsible for the attack, not the victims of it. Sony were just as much a victim as we were, more so in fact, as they had to get back to work on Christmas to try and sort it out, while we were crying about not being able to play games.

Take the 10% and use it, or don't. Don't just sit there complaining like you're owed something, because you're not. When did the gaming community become so entitled? You pay for a year of PS+? So do I. Do I use my PS4 every single day? I wish I did, but I don't. Should Sony give me extra days for when I'm at work, or when I'm too tired in the evening to even look at my consoles? Hell no. They gave a few extra days for the issue, but again it wasn't something they absolutely had to do.

If you want to comment, how about just saying thank you? It's not hard to do.

Re: Your Assassin's Creed Unity Compensation Can Now Be Claimed

Crimson_Ridley

@bikeface It's a typical journalistic response and it's incredibly annoying. They make out everything can get no worse, by just showing the bad in a game and not the fact that the game is nowhere near as buggy as games that have come before it.

I've actually stopped reading a lot of Push Square articles about AC as they act like it's the most broken game ever made.

Re: Assassin's Creed Unity Patch Will Improve Framerate on PS4

Crimson_Ridley

Oh, I'm well aware of how Ubisoft has been doing things in recent years. I'm also well aware that they haven't fixed things as quickly as they are doing now in the past. Rayman Raving Rabbids released on the 360 with so many broken achievements, and Ubisoft all but said "Meh" to it. They've become EA under a different name, but I'm happy that they're at least doing something for now, and as I said not everybody's experience has been as bad.

What I'm saying is, we're as greedy for games as companies are for money. If we didn't support yearly iterations, Assassin's Creed would never have become one. AC1 and 2 were years apart, and the difference in quality was incredible. We can sit and blame developers all day, but it's a large majority of our community that has allowed this. I love the Assassin's Creed series, so I'm one of the guilty people that have bought it each year.
