Re: Talking Point: What February PlayStation Plus Freebies Do You Want?

Ewflex

Whatever it is I can assure you it want be getting any AAA games. So I am done getting anxious to see what games are coming every month. I just scoop up the games on flash sales and during the holiday and accept that Sony want give away games that use to be at some point $60 value. I thought Gaucamelee was a great game and I am glad kings quest first chapter was given away so I don't have Interest in getting the entire series.
Kings quest has too much fetching back and forth within the same environments looking for items. It has a good story but the gameplay was meh.

Re: Feature: 27 PS4 Exclusives to Anticipate in 2016

Ewflex

I am looking forward the most is uncharted 4 since I know what I am getting which is a great fun adventure with great dialogue and banter as well. UC4 possibly is the best MP In the series based on playing the beta.

My next game I hope will be great is horizon zero dawn but it's a new ip and there isn't enough information for me to come to the conclusion it will be a great game. The rest of the games on this list I really not sure if any will be good except for Rachet and Clank which I played the reboot demo at Best Buy.

Re: Yakuza 6 Looks Drop Dead Gorgeous on PS4

Ewflex

Yeah this looks current gen. So yakuza 0 is coming to ps4 and yakuza 5 is just released on PS3? So when do they expect to release 6? This is a confusing franchise. I would wait for 6 vs getting a PS3 1/2 game with yakuza 5.

Re: Feature: Did PlayStation Plus Represent Value for Money in 2015?

Ewflex

@kyleforrester87 valiant heart I paid myself and played it twice. I also really like this game. The vakllur for psn plus is a relative term to what games you prefer to play. I think I got my monies worth from spending $50 per yr but I don't think most of the free games were any good. I don't think Sony sacrificed any of their first party games and modify the free games were left over mediocre games. The games I like were guacamelee, unfinished heart and gone home. I already purchased ground zero prior to it becoming free.

Re: Soapbox: Call of Duty: Black Ops III's Campaign Is Among the Worst in the Franchise

Ewflex

I am so glad to hear I'm not the only one that thought the campaign was horrible. It went on forever and after 4 hours I was ready for it to end. I would give the story a 5 out 10.

I'm shocked no review pointed out how bad the story is. Another thing is the AI soldiers do not help you at all in most of the shoot outs. Honestly, every COD campaign the AI partners are always useless but I normally like the story including modern warfares last yr. The only COD game I didn't play was Ghost. Black OPS 3 would have been better off not even having a campaign.

I am playing battlefront and having a blast on and offline. I think the AI soldiers in battlefront in the single player mode is much more competent with actually killing enemies. Where as COD games the AI partners never finish off a enemy, they start and you finish them off.

Re: PS4 Exclusives Dominate The Game Awards' Most Wanted

Ewflex

@DerMeister exactly. Horizon or uncharted 4 he can't wrong with either one. I am more excited for horizon since its anew IP. I never understood the fascination with last guardian anyway. I wouldn't even be surprised if it didn't come out next yr. then shu tells us they want show us last guardian footage to not spoil the story. That is a bunch of BS marketing talk. That game could be the bigger bust ever along with shenmue 3.

Re: Guide: What Are the Best Perks to Take in Fallout 4?

Ewflex

@ShogunRok thanks for your advice about trading since I am new to fallout and had the same question as the other guy. I need to do something for the Minutemen and I just ran into a area near the train where I am suppose to take out the raiders. These dudes have armour and I have the mini gun but I don't have my armour since I ran out of fusion core power. I got happy being in the armour too long after killing the death claw. I love that suit and I feel indestructible. Man the lock pick is hard to do. I lose at least 6 lock picks trying to open a box

Re: Sony Doesn't Want to Show You Too Much of The Last Guardian

Ewflex

They are not showing anything cause it far from being done. I don't care for the game but I feel for those expecting it next yr. I will be a miracle if it comes out 12/31/16. Shu talking about its story heavy why they aren't going to show much of the game seems hog wash. How many games we've seen 1 hr of footage and don't know anything about the story?

Re: Reaction: Poorly Paced Paris Presser Paves Way for PS4's Impressive 2016

Ewflex

I don't what the hell the press expect. Why can't the street fighters dudes be a little silly. Maybe they actual enjoy creating games. One minute Sony is considered boring in press conferences for talking only about sales #'s from 2 yrs ago, then when they want to be Loose and have fun the press is bitching. I expected way less from Sony for Paris week and they delivered. At least most of these games are coming out 2016 where as who knows when FF7, last guardian and shenmue 3 are coming.

Re: Review: Assassin's Creed Syndicate (PS4)

Ewflex

A lot of game sites giving it 8 and 9's. But it feels like they are not being honest with themselves. I am not going to buy this game. I bought black flag and unity and although they are fun at first the combat gets stale very quickly. Based on videos of syndicate the cobalt is still boring and uninspiring while the AI enemies stand their and get stabbed or shot to death. The standing around waiting to take turns to fight is outdated non dynamic unrealistic combat.

Re: Uncharted 4's Single Player DLC May Plot an Experimental Path

Ewflex

@Boerewors

This is exactly how I feel. It's a insult to our intelligence to suggest this DLC which is 6 months from now is only concept. I'm sure the single player DLC is already thought out and even done with the writing. I wouldn't even doubt if all these games with season passes and DLC that the content is done then released later on and pretended as if it was done post production.

Re: October PlayStation Plus Games to Be Revealed Very Soon

Ewflex

@sradmatt I look at Sony once again for being complacent and not making a sacrifice by giving us one of their first party games. Honestly I don't want their first party games cause I played the ones I like such as knack and second son. I just any AAA that is if good quality and not a bargain bin game.

Re: October PlayStation Plus Games to Be Revealed Very Soon

Ewflex

@sradmatt meaning one good AAA then back to low quality indie games. There are some good indie games I played from psn but not lately. I think it's getting harder for publishers to want to make a deal to give us their AAA game.
I know rocket league is popular but is just not all that to me. Guacamelee was good and limbo as well. Some it's just been a mix bag but growing home this month was garbage. I haven't really cares much and forgot about the next month psn free game since phantom pain is taking up so much of my time.

Re: October PlayStation Plus Games to Be Revealed Very Soon

Ewflex

As long as it's better than this month. I voted for that garbage since it seemed like the better of 2 evils. I played it 10 minutes and never thought about it since. It's going to be another indie whether we like it or not and not a AAA title. It's the trend.

Re: Feature: Our Most Anticipated PlayStation Games of Holiday 2015

Ewflex

My top is in order

Mgs phantom pain
Star Wars battlefront
Tearaway unfolded
UC collection
Need for speed
Mad max
I may not get allot them this holiday but most I wil get. UC collection I want to get but maybe wait until I know when UC4 beta is coming. Tearaway unfolded I will get day base on the price. My definite buys on day one are phantom pain, tearaway and Star Wars battlefront.

Re: Japan's Holding Back the PlayStation 4

Ewflex

I think most westerns agree that most Japanese type games are weird. Personally I don't care if ps4 is popular in it's own country. All I care about is if the U.S. gets great games. It's understandable why vita is more popular than ps4 since Japanese young people commute way more than US. Citizens.

Re: Talking Point: What August PlayStation Plus Freebies Do You Desire?

Ewflex

@BigDaddyT0101 I thought knack wasn't that bad and I would give it a 7/10. But I did buy it for $10 on psn so my perspective of the games value could be based on how much I paid. If I paid $60 then maybe I would have thought it was worth 5/10 rating. Just like The Order 1886 I bought day one and thought it was a 5 or 6/10 but if I got it for only 20-$30 I may have given it a 7/10. By the way, I traded in The Order 1886 once I played it on hard difficulty and it took me about 9 hrs. I have never played a game on my first play thru on hard. It was a flop of a game.

Re: Talking Point: What August PlayStation Plus Freebies Do You Desire?

Ewflex

@BigDaddyT0101 knack is good but I can't imagine playing 6 times. I think Rachet and clank reboot will blow knack away. Knack was fun but it was repetitive but the story was cool with me. The gameplay issue was that it wasn't enough variety like flying like it can do in Rachet and clank and jet packing etc.

Re: Talking Point: What August PlayStation Plus Freebies Do You Desire?

Ewflex

@JesWood13 rent it for 2 days max and you will finish it. You can buy it for $30 now but I still wouldn't get it.

Don't let no one tell you this game was better than what critics rated it. This was one of my most anticipated games but it had mediocre gameplay and non inspired boss fights and the story was just meh. The story ends very abruptly and non satisfying.

Re: Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection to Score PS4 Demo This Summer

Ewflex

I watched a video from ign and it looks good but hard to tell the quality. Yeah I read Sid shumsn impression of him playing the game before coming to this site. Well at least we get to play a demo of the game before we decide to re buy the trilogy. I want the collection since this is probably one of my most beloved franchises but I really want the beta to UC 4. I already played UC 1-3 many times but it would be nice to have them on ps4.

Re: Poll: Which Batman: Arkham Game Is the Best?

Ewflex

@B3ND3R normally I would agree on violent games but these days video games with M rating is by far more gory, graphic with blood splatter than batman Arkham knight. It's a violent game for sure but it isn't visceral. Like even the people that shoot themselves the camera pans away from them. When u look at the person on the ground the blood isn't in their face. I agree to some extent it's a M rating but their is no cursing and the violence is almost like blockbuster PG 13 movies where 100 people die but you don't see blood most of the times. Their no sex in batman arkham knight also. I'm at 70% done in main story so I will see if my opinion change.

Re: Poll: Which Batman: Arkham Game Is the Best?

Ewflex

Who thinks its weird that arkham knight has a M rating ? I don't see it being anymore violent or bloody or gory compared to the other batman games. There is no cursing and even those that died you don't see any blood. This is good as far as I'm concern but just curious what you guys thought. I am at the level with robin and batman returning prisoners back to their cell. I am not giving anything away since we all know robin is in the game.

I think the fact batman has a no kill code has always been a reason I loved him as a hero plus he is a human vs superhuman etc.

Re: Poll: Which Batman: Arkham Game Is the Best?

Ewflex

I haven't finished arkham knight but for the full package I think arkham knight although the boss fights are sorely missing. But the batmobile and side missions are the best and you can argue the original story of asylum was the best. I think arkham knight has more longevity with the dlc's and aso the content already packed in the game.

Re: Horizon: Zero Dawn Has a Bigger Budget Than The Last Guardian, Says Sony

Ewflex

Japan games don't look as good as most European of US games except for msg games because hideo is mild s movie director. I can't tell you how many Japanese games have great cutscenes then when you see the game itself I looks like a old school game. The last guardian looks like a smaller budget game and IMO it looks like a PS3 game.

Re: Poll: What Was Your Favourite PlayStation Game of E3 2015?

Ewflex

Horizons favorite game but runners up are UC4 but thats a give,msg speaks for itself but wasn't at the e3 show and battlefront was next. Battlefront prove to me it looks close to the original trailer and from what I hear plays well but concerned about longevity without real single player campaign although I still preordered it. Horizon was my favorite because it looked the best, the best real gameplay besides UC4 and has great ideas for combat and action RPGs elements of any game. I just hope horizon can live up to its hype.

Re: Soapbox: Why So Many E3 2015 Announcements Are Being Spoiled

Ewflex

@kyleforrester87 I agree with your points. What irritates me is how most of these games like fallout 4 and others that only had a trailer and barely told you a damn thing about the content of the game want you to preorder. I like the fact rachet and clank which wasn't on my radar is very highly on it now. Rachet and clank did it right by giving you a demonstration videos of the game along with a trailer and some content info. I also like that it's $40 and seem to beredone almost from the bottom up with new boss fights, new flight sequences. Type of jet pack and all new cutscenes etc.
I want games to stop asking me to preorder until we get substantial information to make a good consumer decision. I am not the one to just preorder based on some well crafted trailer but it still irritates me.

As much as I love UC series. The trailer was one of the worse with the collection trilogy not even showing the game. How do I know if the 3 games look like a major over haul in graphics, textures etc prior to preordering ? I'm not preordering nothing until I see a ton of videos and info on Nathan drake collection. I know E3 will show plenty on Monday so I can be patient.

Some people would preorder or just buy games without research based on a developers rep like naughty dog. I am not the one although I trust naughty will have good to great games I still need to see what I am buying unlike if it woman's a Xmas gift then I wouldn't care.
