Re: Fallout 4 Mod Support Wanders onto PS4 This Week

GoatWrench

I originally didn't think no external assets was a big deal, but this also includes things like script extender. Which if Skyrim is any indication was required for most of the more creative mods. However I'm glad I can finally put ballistic weave on my vault suit. Especially since the base game let me put it on a sequence red dress.

Re: Soapbox: Uncharted 4's Higher Difficulties Kill the Joy of Combat

GoatWrench

I find I just really don't have the time or desire anymore to play games on their highest difficulty. Having never played any of the series I picked up the collection. I'm part way through 2 and have no desire to move the difficulty off the default. Trophies aren't worth frequent rage quits, but that's just my situation. I've also come to the shocking realization that as someone who has been an avid gamer for 30 years I suck at shooters.

Re: Feature: Has Fallout 4's Season Pass Been Worth It?

GoatWrench

At the original price it was worth it if you enjoyed the settlement building. At the increased price I don't think it was worth it. I would guess that more than half of what was in the workshop packs were textures and models already in the base game so very little work required. Also it is completely justified to compare DLC from Fallout 3 to 4 and that don't even compare.

Re: Bethesda Speaks Out: Sony Will Not Allow Fallout 4 or Skyrim Mods on PS4

GoatWrench

@BLPs Pretty much bang on. I will say that in every console generation whoever did well the previous gen usually gets way too full of themselves. Sega after the Genesis, Sony after the PS2, Nintendo and Microsoft after the Wii and 360. It's like no console manufacturer can remember what made them successful and that people won't just buy your system based on your name.

Re: PS4 Pro Confirmed, Launches November 2016 for $399

GoatWrench

1TB isn't enough, unless Sony wants to pull their collective heads out of their butts and allow external HDD support. It should have a 2TB drive. Game sizes are only going to get bigger now that 4K is supported. I guess we'll never see game footage running on a original PS4 ever again.

Re: PSN Down For Third Time in Two Weeks

GoatWrench

I was an Xbox live subscriber for 4 years on my 360 I don't think it went down once. I've been a PSN subscriber for about 20 months and I can't even count the number of times it's been down. If you are going to charge a premium price for a service you really should make sure it works. Sony has had just as much time as anyone else to build their online infrastructure yet they seem to be in the worst spot.

Re: Hands On: How Does Fallout 4: Nuka World Run on PS4?

GoatWrench

I haven't noticed frame drops any worse than the vanilla game. But I'm sure a future patch to get rid of some sort of cap or xp exploit will tank my frame rate. I have a 2 year old laptop which doesn't technically even meet the minimum PC requirements and it runs the game better than my PS4. Hardware upgrades aren't the answer, as much as Sony and Microsoft want to tell us they are. Developers need to not release games until they are in a finished state. Fallout 4 like Skyrim before it probably should have been delayed on Sony consoles.

Re: Final Fantasy XV Will Have Even More DLC Outside of the Season Pass

GoatWrench

@Kurome I think the problem people are having is if the season pass content is predominantly costumes and fluff with a little story thrown in then a big expansion comes which is not included. But all we can really do is take a wait and see approach. I personally hate seasons passes for this reason you never know what you're paying for.

Re: Poll: Are You Still Playing No Man's Sky?

GoatWrench

I really enjoyed it for probably the first 10-15 hours. Now I still like it, but I only play for short spurts every couple of days. I think I like the idea of the game more than the actual game. I do wish the No Fun Police aka the sentinels would back off a little though. If they ever do add base building that would be cool having a place to store all your extra resources would be helpful. Also I would like to be able to ride some of the animals after I feed them.

Re: PlayStation Plus Price Won't Increase in Europe

GoatWrench

I'm so happy! I get to pay $20 in Canada and my one year expires just in time for the customary PSN Christmas down time. What am I paying the extra for exactly? Some free games I'll never play or maybe OS features rolled out at a glacial pace.

Re: Soapbox: Why Sony Needs to Change Its Refund Policy

GoatWrench

I think Sony needs to adopt a similar policy as Valve did with Steam. I highly doubt it will happen though. They are in the driver's seat this generation and don't feel any sort of pressure to implement changes. I feel they are closing in on the same level of arrogance they had at the end of the PS2 era.

Re: Fallout 4 Patch 1.09 Is Out Now on PS4

GoatWrench

Wow, maybe now I can send Ashes back to vault 81. I've given up all hope for mods at this point. I should have just bought the game for PC even though my laptop would barely be able to run. I guess it wouldn't have been much different than the PS4.

Re: Mass Effect Trilogy Remaster for PS4 May Finally Be Happening

GoatWrench

I really love these games, but I tried playing the first one again about 6 months ago and anything to do with the Mako was about as much fun as hitting myself in the face with a brick. Also even though I probably put at least 100 hours in it does take a fair while to get going. I would love if the first one could be made to run on the 3 ones engine but that's not going to happen.

Re: Feature: 5 PS4K Neo Reveals Sony Must Make at PlayStation Meeting 2016

GoatWrench

I'm super excited for a year from now when a console I paid $450 (that's the price in Canada) struggles to maintain 30fps. If I wanted to have to upgrade every 3 years I would build a gaming PC. Now developers will have the excuse that it's the old hardware and not a poorly optimized game. This is just a solution to a problem nobody had. Most people buy consoles for the simple plug and play that they offer. You know you're going to get a few years out of it, maybe longer if you hold out when the next gen comes out.

Re: Feature: 6 Features PS4 Firmware Update 4.00 Must Include

GoatWrench

External HDD support should have been day 1. Everyone knew 500gb wasn't going to be enough. I mean we all complained about the Wii U's 32gb but the games were 1/8 the size at the most and I could buy a usb drive for it day one. But I guess it doesn't matter now that I finally broke down and installed a 2tb in my PS4.
