Nothing excites me in November. Which is too bad because my birthday is that month and I usually buy myself a game on or around my birthday. Probably just pick up one of the few games I want from October since I probably won't be buying everything I want when I want. That's looking like the most exciting month for me; Alien isolation, The evil within, Lords of the Fallen and Natural doctrine.
I think it's a shame that the toy is from the wcw era where he was Hollywood hogan. I remember watching him wrestle guys like the ultimate warrior(rip) and Andre the freaking giant(lookin at you rev) in the hay day of hulkamania brother.
Not that I would actually consider playing this anyway. I haven't played a wrasslin' game since the n64's wcw/nwo revenge. I was never into wcw but the game play in that game was much better than any of the wwf games in my opinion. My friends and I spent quite a bit of time with that game.
@AlexStinton youre right us big men really put things to the test. But I honestly cant see this thing being comfortable especially for a big man, especially for a long period of time.
I think I would get severe buyers remorse at $200 too. Anyone considering this would be much better of to just put that money toward a qality chair.
P.S. the name sumo almost seems like a jab at gamers being fat lazy "sumos".
Thats awesome that they were able to raise money for charity. Imagine if they got a bunch of artists to paint up some ps4's and auction em off. That would be really wicked.
I would love to have that ps4 in my cabinet rather than the boring black one. I love my red 25th anniversary Mario edition wii. We need more colour in our lives.
Wow! Guess I'm going to switch my destiny pre order to something else. The level cap was one thing, the small number of locations was a clincher and now the need for 5 friends to finish a game seals the the deal. I have two people on my friends list and am not about to start adding random people which is really no better than matching making anyway.
@Munkknuts I'm with you, it's hard enough to sit down yourself and play a game. It's hard enough to make any plans with friends now. This is exponentially more difficult. Then again I guess any games main focus is kids, who often have the luxury.
This screams PS+ to me. As much fun as it looks I'm going to wait on it. Well probably get it free before the end of the year. Still holding out for Another world to hit plus.
It's a 50 mbps cable connection. I'm glad you asked. I knew how much I paid but not the speed. When I checked the website to tell you the speed I noticed there is a 100 mbps for just 10 dollars more. You made me a happy man today. Haha.
@ztpayne7 Haha I remember being impressed by that too. Then I opened it and it took 4 hours to install and I have the internet most people(or their parents) wont pay for.
@bigjsmashman hey I wouldn't normally ask but since you offered. Have you still got that code? Have to wait until closer to release to pre order this one.
I think its quite alright there isnt a discount offered to previous owners of the game because this game is already discounted before hitting market. In my local EBGAMES(Canadian equiviliant of gamestop or GAME) the purchase price is $55 as opposed to the standard $70 before taxes. So it is still cheaper. For someone like me who didnt end up playing it on PS3(just way too big of a backlog) this is amazing because I get to buy it for what it would have cost me to buy it on PS3 last year an I get the quality of the PS4 re-release. Bliss....
Does anyone know yet if the co-op/multiplayer is cross platform? @ShogunRok mentioned some form of co-op. If my brother plays this on XB1 and Im on PS4 then there shouldnt be a problem eh?
Its not like you can only buy one game or you can only buy the game the day it comes out. Im sure the other titles will be fine as everyone does not have the same taste. Personally I dont care about assassins Creed, Driveclub, Dragon Age etc. I will definitely be purchasing Lords of the fallen however.
@SimonAdebisi Yeah I definitely put the cart before the horse by trying the second one first. Like you were saying the first didnt get released on XBOX and I had a friend that suggested I try it. Seeing how popular this seems, now I wish I had stuck with it.
I may be in the minority here but I dont understand why these games have the acclaim they do. I spent a couple hours playing the (IIRC) second game and didnt enjoy a minute of it. Luckily I got it on a deep discount because I never touched it again. In my opinion there are so many other games that deserve a sequel before this one.
The funny thing is I'm sure rockstar has a team of lawyers that they run ideas like this past to see if it is acceptable from the eyes of a judge. Otherwise they tweak the idea slightly so that it is acceptable to the law.
Finally beat Wolfenstein Friday night. Took me until about 2 am but I was on a roll and felt like I was close to the end. That scene with Bubi, that nazi was intense. Anyone else who beat it should know what I mean. Finally started watchdogs yesterday and I pre ordered that. Haha.
@hydeks Agreed I was just talking to my brother about that. I miss playing games with a group of guys, hurling insults and rubbing it in each others' faces.
Pardon my ignorance, can someone tell me the differencce between a sim and an arcade racing game? Unless you just mean a game within an arcade. I have played a lot of games mentioned in here but Im a little confused.
I wish they would add co-op play to the campaign. It sounds like this is going to be that mode where you play co-op with against waves of enemies in an arena.
Thief immediately came to mind. When you have to hammer square to jam your tool into a window and lift it I got so irritated especially because you had to do it so much.
Personally it doesnt matter to me who wins the "next gen console war". Their fame or clout doesnt make a lick of difference to me. Its not like we make a profit share if they sell more. Some people might say the more they sell the better games well get and that makes sense to a certain degree however no amount of sales could help the poor build quality of the 360. I went through 3 xbox 360 consoles because of their inherent problems and I still have my launch PS3 console. I will never buy a Microsoft console again but that doesnt mean I wont ever play one. I'm not that ignorant. My brother will inevitably buy one and I will certainly join him for halo and gears etc.However Microsoft will never see one red cent from me.
I havent played the other two but this game is certainly intriguing. Its been a while since I've gotten to play a fantasy RPG and I'm eager to pick one up for PS4. Bound by flame looked really good but a couple of the reviews Ive read werent stellar so I think I'll wait to catch a sale price on that one.
As far as the difference in visual quality. When I played through Fallout 3 on my 360 my friend and I agreed it looked better than when he played it on his PS3. It wasnt enough to affect your experience with the game. But if you saw them side by side there was an overall noticeable difference. That said even though Sony may have had the technically inferioir experience I found myself playing more PS3 toward the end of their lifetimes.
I can not find a good reason for me to buy a vita. I owned the PSP from the first year it was available right through to when it was exploited(read custom firmware became available) like a coupon for a free big mac. But when the vita came along there wasnt anything that excited me. Granted I felt the same about ps4 leading up to launch. But that has quickly turned around. Meanwhile the vita has had over a year now and I can really only think of 3 games I would like to play. One of those games is also available on another console(borderlands 2) and I would much rather play it on the big screen with surround sound if I have the choice. So its basically down to Killzone and uncharted. I have been waiting for a stockpile of games to amass that would make me eat my words but alas I have seen nothing new that appeals the way games for other consoles do. Some will contend that it has remote play and I will be able to play ps3 games soon. But that would be like paying for a book you already own because it is in a smaller font. Others will say it is because it didnt have enough support from consumers(early adopters) at first so the developers didnt see a reason to support it. That may be but I dont think any amount of sales now will sweeten the pot enough for developers to come back. Heres hoping for Sony's next handheld.
Awesome! I've been waiting not-so-patiently for this so I can plunder some dungeons. I wonder if they will have crossover gameplay between ps4 and pc. I would like to able to play with my brother who has this on pc.
@MadchesterManc Haha its my youth on a page. I remember the first time I played CS killed 6 guys barely out the gate and I thought "this is how god must feel when he holds a gun".
@KALofKRYPTON I'm with you looking forward to a new UT. Havent played any of the recent sequels but I spent many an hour playingthat in high school when I should have been doing homework. Haha.
I watched my brother in law play the original planetside. I wasnt too impressed but it didnt look awful.
This one looks like it will have a great story and interesting gamplay. Since i have a pretty sizeable backlog I wont be picking it up right away but Im definitely interested.
I think a lot of people were simply unhappy due to principle, I know I was. Kind of like when your parents would say I'm not mad I'm just disappointed...Im content now that they realized this is something that isnt kosher. Also I have to agree with a lot of other people here that its really refreshing and restores some faith that Sony and some developers seem to be listening to feedback and adjusting accordingly.
This game can't come soon enough. I wasn't too excited watching that new trailer but everything else connected to this has looked amazing. Also to echo the sentiments of others we can't go wrong putting out faith in bungie. I'm definitely going to pre order this to get in on the beta.
I was excited about this game but now I'm really soured on it. When you think about it that's a fair discount considering how many other free games you will get with your ps plus subscription(and how much you pay in comparison) although I think we all expected something more substantial. Add to that how we were told we would have this six months ago and it will be closer to a year by the time we finally get to play it. I have no concern for not being able to play the full version due to an elapsed subscription(as I have no intention of allowing that) but that condition doesn't sit well with me. This may set precedent for more caveats in future giving us less and charging us more. It's already expensive enough paying close to $80 after taxes(in Canada) for infamous and the like. Based on principle, evolution will get none of my money and I hope others will follow suit.
