I own both already - but seriously the first three months of PS Plus 2018 has surpassed all previous months since its inception.
Good call to cut off PS3 and vita. It is probably time to do that. Hoping that translates into continued releases like this, network improvements, and VR titles becoming regular PS Plus releases
At this point I have gotten all I really wanted to get from multiplayer.
What do you have for me by the way of Single Player? How bout putting everything that is multiplayer in Arcade with bots?
How bout an Arcade mode that isn't just a one-off battle but has some sort of progression to it - like... Galactic Conquest?
Even getting more heroes isn't a guarantee to get me back into this game. I need something besides the pointless grind to get more so I can grind more...
Give me something I can play for 10 years. LIke I still do with Battlefront 2 2005. Every year I still get that game out and play Galactic Conquest a few times. Give me something like that...
It is obvious through the story writing, even in all the different options in how to deal with it, that the message is that domestic violence is bad. How it is going to lead to more abuse by presenting it as a bad thing is beyond me.
If anything it makes your heart ache for real children that are in this situation today. If anything it is masterfully written to make a sick feeling grow in the pit of your stomach.
If anything it draws us all to the very real and present reality that this level of evil exists in the hearts of men. I won't sermonize from there... but PM me if you want to talk about this last point.
There is literally nothing to gain for Sony offering this. And until that changes it won't happen. And next console generation, if Microsoft is winning then, they will be the ones making up some crap about how they can't do it either. If you tear down the cross-network wall, all that matters is the individual experience on that console, which means market share will go to whatever console is the most powerful... and which one is that right now? Xbox One X.
All fanboyism aside... do people still care about such differences still? In an age where people are playing 8 bit games, on purpose, because they are FUN.
Obviously it looks gorgeous. For the price... it should. But honestly, it isn't a game changer for me, and unless Microsoft starts stepping it up in the only department that matters, Really fun and exclusive gaming experiences, then this is a very expensive box that will sit on store shelves across the world.
Suck it up buttercup. There is a deluge of great games on the market today. Here is what you did... as EA does often... you rode the coattails of an IP, put as little effort into writing, programming, animation, creativity, and imagination as you could, and you shipped that hot mess out to earn a buck. "didn't deserve the criticism it got" puh-lease - You are a grown man, in a corporation in a first world country, selling first world products - take your lumps and make a better product.
Ok. so here is my thing. I avidly support cross-network play. Having those walls broken down eliminates that feeling in my gut every time someone wants to play a game with me and I have to ask them.. what console did you buy it for.
But I think we all need to look at what Cross-Network means.
1.) It will change, forever, what is important to the console brand. I think this actually works in Sony's favor, because rather than looking for multiplayer products that are "better" on PS4 - they will be looking into multiplayer products that are "only" on PS4.
2.) But because of the previous point - it will no doubt lead to either fewer 3rd party multiplayer titles as every company tries to produces MP on their console only... or we will transition to 1st party offering single player and 3rd party having the only means to offer MP. Again.. I'm not sure I like either of those options.
3.) It will change multiplayer forever. For developers and gamers. And it isn't all for the best. The size and scale will no doubt increase, and we can play anyone as long as they own the game... But we have double digit GB patches every month as it is. Can you imagine what the mess it would be when 3-4 different networks are piling in, together?
Cross Network sounds good on the surface, but ultimately I think Microsoft is pushing this as a red herring to make Sony look bad. If Sony calls their bluff... or keeps out - both don't go well for them.
Now if they will hop on the couch co-op need and plug some experiences like The Last of Us and HOrizon into a co-op kind of game then that would be AWESOME! Even couch competitive story driven campaigns. I'd love to see something like that.
I have an app on my phone that keeps track of the games on my wishlist. As soon as this game was announced, it went on that list. I knew it was being geared toward on online experience, and living in the country of the US, internet is not a thing we can rely on. Nevertheless it went on the wish list because it had an offline single player campaign and that campaign could be played co-op splitscreen. Since adding this game to the wishlist they have cut the split screen co-op and now this... Removing from my wish list in 3...2...1... gone.
Many have said it already, and I'll just say it again. I would take slightly worse graphics and even a slightly lower frame rate if they give me couch split screen co-op. My interest in this game has significantly decreased. I live in a rural area where internet is not really all that quick. Online co-op is worthless to me.
I live in the country in the US. We have satellite internet where real time online games are not possible. Knights, Samurai and Vikings seemed like an amazing concept but when I heard it was multiplayer focused, I thought "great another battlefront situation here". Ever since hearing that it had a single player I have been devouring any content I can about it and this is pretty much the nail in the coffin for me. Did you know that the single player is also co-op splitscreen? Yeah... sad that that is a rare thing these days.
I love how there is no news source out there that actually analyzed what Bethesda said. I was hoping push square would have noticed it. I guess everyone is scared of taking Sony's side in this because they will be labeled a fanboy. I think I came up with a good analogy for what is actually happening here. If a toddler wanted to use your game system to exclusively play violent video games and you as the parent had already decided that they can't play those until they were older. You would tell them no for playing those games on your system. And it wouldn't matter what they said or how long they asked - you would still say no. You did offer them to play a fun platformer though- which they said no to. It was either the violent game or nothing. So you as a parent choose nothing. So in that instance, it is the parent's "fault" but not really. Bethesda is saying my way or the highway - so is Sony. But no one blames the developer because they love Skyrim (btw so do I)

If that is the case, I'll give it away to one of you fine pushsquare people. Love this site!
Re: UK Politicians and Campaigners Lobby Against Detroit: Become Human
I don't understand the debate.
It is obvious through the story writing, even in all the different options in how to deal with it, that the message is that domestic violence is bad. How it is going to lead to more abuse by presenting it as a bad thing is beyond me.

Re: For Honor's Single Player Campaign Trailer Readies for War
@playstation1995 It is. The article from before said that in order to play the single player campaign you would need to be connected online.
