Re: Hideo Kojima Completed Metal Gear Solid V in Solitary Confinement

@solocapers You echo my thoughts exactly. The way this guy is held in such esteem is frankly pretty weird.

He had enough time and money to produce a good game and I suspect Konami were sick of waiting for a finished product. Sadly whilst we got the best looking and playing game in the series it was an unfinished and convoluted mess.

Re: Assassin's Creed Syndicate Polished Up with PS4 Pro Patch

@thedevilsjester I thought that the utter lack of any sort of challenge and awful combat ruined the whole game.

I actually prefer Unity at least it was challenging playing through all the content solo. The graphics were also a lot better in Unity furthermore the combat was far superior.

I also think that this generation has been so bad with QC and releases have typically never even been play tested. Gamers have learnt to wait for game patches etc before rushing to buy. Furthermore, with so many games being released gamers just can't afford them all and often are waiting for price drops before purchasing.

Whilst a lot of the above points are valid I think a lot of people are overlooking how off putting the tone and theme of this new game actually is to a lot of gamers. The original had a darker more mature tone to it, this sequel just looks like a teen SJW game. The videos I have seen of the characters, dialogue and story have just put me right off buying this game.

@kyleforrester87 Glad your TV has arrived are you enjoying it, have you tried any PS4 pro games yet in 4k HDR? I'm seriously considering the 65" LG B6 OLED at the moment.

I'll be playing Assassins Creed The Ezio Collection this weekend played a bit last night very nice in 4k. Much better looking than the early videos showed.

I Know a lot of people are into these MMO style games but I've never understood the attraction of them. They tend to just be endless grinding for more xp and better gear. Maybe it's the social aspect.

However, it is great that a lot of these games are being bought to the west, just shows how important market share actually is.

Re: Feature: Happy Tenth Birthday to the PlayStation 3

Erm ok seems I'm all alone here but I hated the PS3 with a passion. The DS3 was a woeful controller. The PSN store was just a chore to use and so slow. The downloads were abysmal in process and application. You had to leave it on the store page to download your game at any bearable speed which meant you still had a very long wait.

Yes some of the exclusives were great which is why I put up with it just for those. Thankfully the PS4 they got right and is my console choice this gen. Needless to say the Xbox 360 was my choice of console last gen and my favourite console thus far although the PS4 may well change that.
