I got into the hype and paid a full 100$ for the digital guardian edition... Now I'm stuck with a bad game that will be uninstalled and never think of again.
Last time I ever give money to Bungie!
For 30$ I got Metro Redux last night, two full games for less than what I paid for Destiny's expansions... Greed is a thing, overpricing hollow content is pure madness!
Destiny is all about getting the carrot on a stick that is uncatchable... I just stopped playing as I never ever had a legendary drop in about 50 hours of gameplay yet others were maxed out after a week of playing. Fun this game isn't!
At least Diablo 3 gets you something cool every hour or so!
Played a few hours last night and it's way better than it was when I played it on the Xbox 360 a year ago. FPS mode feels fresh and permits seeing all the little details (like a Certificate in Simeon's office that is readable now!). Though it feels "weighty" compared to other shooters and it takes some getting used to... Now I want to play this in VR asap!!!
Also did anyone found how to disable autocenter in FPS mode? It is annoying for the view to reset the moment you start walking...
I saw a livestream this weekend and just for FPS mode it seemed like a whole new game. I'd have double dipped just for that if it was the only new thing Rockstar did for the game... but they added so much more and for that, they deserve praises!
I'd pass. I bought the GTA collection on Steam last year for less than 10$. They play well in 1080p already (even if GTA 3 and Vice City are the censored versions...).
Unless it was less than 20$ and included trophies for all of the games, then I'd reconsider it.
Back in the day I bought Morrowind on Xbox a good week early too at Wal-Mart. It was just there to buy so I did!
It's common too with employees of gaming stores to go home with their copy as stores receive them early usually. Most people streaming unreleased games work in those stores...
Bought the PS4 version and found out I have to pay 20$ for the Vita version again instead of being able to pay 5$ like I thought... Too bad for me I guess. I love it on PS4 but not enough to pay full price again for owning it on Vita too!
I paid 100$ Canadian for Destiny Digital Guardian Edition which includes the two "expansions"... I regret my impulse buy and will never again pay for a season pass BEFORE the DLC in question is out, has been reviewed and knowing that I like the game enough to continue playing it when the DLC comes out!
These days it feels more and more like content was cut for resale at a later date than an actual expansion of the game... I miss the good old days of yore when an expansion priced 30$ came for a PC game and actually added value and content, like Baldur's Gate or Diablo 2, to name a few!
@BloodyBill I didn't see it at first in the update. What video app will pop up though? I would also like a broader support of formats and files though.
Plugging in the PC on a free HDMI port works but is less than optimal.
There are two named places with locked doors that are on Earth too... Jovian Complex and King something I forgot. Why have named places that are unused yet/innaccessible. It is very frustrating and really fuels the impression that Activision really did request content to be cut for the sole purpose of selling it as DLC...
I sorely regret having paid 100$ for the Digital Guardian Edition and not being able to sell my copy of the game. Biggest gaming mistake I ever made!
Played the first one on Xbox. Skipped the second altogether. Might skip this also. RESOGUN is superior I believe and still the king of twin-stick shooters!
The real question is: are preorder bonuses what makes gamers pick up the game or not? Personnaly, I doubt it... it could come out barebones and nobody would cry out "where's my preorder bonuses!"
The game is AAA material and it is quite easy to earn money in GTA5 so an extra amount at the start of the game isn't a huge incentive to pick up a copy but it's better than nothing at all too.
Hmmmm Driveclub demo. Cool. Spelunky, already bought it on Vita and it being crossbuy, well... Dust. Meh. Passed on it on the 360 and PC. Might give it a whirl to check it out.
Rainbow Moon looks fun though.
So an average month for me. But eh I already pay for PS plus to play online so all those games are freebies anyway!
@Scollurio I'm a writer and editor in real life and the screenwriters at Bungie should be burnt at the stakes mate. There's full potential and hard science-fiction concepts aplenty... but none of it is actually "used" in the game. And that, my friend, is very bad storytelling!
@LDXD well it IS good. Just not for everyone I'd say. If you can rent it to make up your mind first, do it. I finished all the story missions and most strikes in under 9 hours my first playthrough.
It's a game we won't be playing much a year from now, sadly...
@LDXD it's a fun game, but I was letdown a bit by how underwhelming everything is. The loot system is broken and the grindfest experience ain't exactly my idea of "fun". I love the PVP though but after playing the same missions over and over again with the same enemies at the same spot and no variant whatsoever, it gets old fast...
So Shadow Of Mordor should keep me occupied until Far Cry 4 comes out to satiate my shooter needs.

Re: Rumour: Mamma Mia! Sony May Be Making a Super Mario Movie
The cartoon in the early 90's was alright so I'd watch an animated Mario flick!
Re: DriveClub: PS Plus Edition Is the 'Next Step', Sony Ensures
I'll believe it when I see it...
Re: Feature: Four Reasons Why Uncharted 4: A Thief's End's PS4 Demo Blew Us Away
I was awe-struck by it! Now I want an Uncharted Trilogy remaster so I can finally play those games!!! Stupid me for choosing Xbox last-gen!! (-_-)
Re: Tripwire: Sony's PS4 Approach Made Us Consider Consoles Again
Played a bit of the first one on PC. It was good in coop over a lan. Looking forward to the sequel on PS4, looks decent enough!
Re: Oops, Sony Will Be Compensating Vita Early Adopters for Misleading Marketing
I believe it is going to be North America and not just the USA. I'm crossing my fingers as I bought my Vita in April 2012 and live in Canada.
I'd gladly put that 50$ towards a PS4 game!
Re: Injustice, Secret Ponchos, and Hitman Headline December's PlayStation Plus Lineup
I bought Injustice during SDCC for 8$ and secret Ponchos isn't up my alley... Better luck next time I guess!
Re: Review: Dragon Age: Inquisition (PlayStation 4)
Interesting!
Re: First Impressions: Coming Home to Grand Theft Auto V on PS4
@ObviouslySheik yes of course I totally agree with you. It's a crazy world we live in, after all...
Re: First Impressions: Coming Home to Grand Theft Auto V on PS4
@ObviouslySheik that's what satire is, mate...

Wow! Rockstar knows hot to rock our ears out too!

Re: What New Songs Are in Grand Theft Auto V on PlayStation 4?
Awesome!
Re: Grand Theft Auto V PS4 Pre-Load Live, but Prompting Problems
Mine downloaded just fine along with the patch.
Re: Grand Theft Auto V PS4's Launch Patch Will Steal a Load of Your Bandwidth
Meh, 5 minutes more. I don't care I'll be at work while it downloads anyways!

And here I thought it had just died along the way!
Re: Feature: Four of Assassin's Creed Unity's Most Gloriously Ghastly PS4 Glitches
On a AAA title like that, it just shouldn't happen!
Re: The Banner Saga Headlines Fresh Selection of PS4 Indie Games
@kupo Oh get Shadowrun returns/Dragonfall ASAP on PC mate! One of the greatest rpg ever created in my opinion!
Re: The Banner Saga Headlines Fresh Selection of PS4 Indie Games
I've been eyeing The Banner Saga on PC for a while now. I'll probably wait for the PS4 version now!
Re: Weirdness: Ubisoft's Bundling Exclusive Assassin's Creed DLC with Shaving Gel
@SteveButler2210 @rjejr Steve explained it well!
What you are referring to rjejr is Decembeard, a fun spin-off for lazy guys to grow a beard (eh it's cold in winter in Canada ya know!? ;p )
Re: Take-Two Won't Say No to a Grand Theft Auto HD Collection
I'd pass. I bought the GTA collection on Steam last year for less than 10$. They play well in 1080p already (even if GTA 3 and Vice City are the censored versions...).
Unless it was less than 20$ and included trophies for all of the games, then I'd reconsider it.

Re: November's PS Plus Offering Is an Indie Game Extravaganza
Well that's it for me. I'm officially selling my Vita as I have no games left to play that interest me.
Binding of Isaac was okay on PC, but it's not everyone's cup of tea and Steamworld Dig isn't up my alley I guess.
Oh well, better luck next time!
Re: PSN Down as Sony's Servers Feel PS4 Firmware Update 2.00 Strain
5 seconds on with the new patch and the PS4 froze and shutdown on its own... great!!
Re: PS4 Firmware Update 2.00 Will Also Let You Pause Downloads
Would be beat to be able to use some captured screenshots. Those photo modes in games would get useful for once!
Re: PS4 Firmware Update 2.00 Will Also Let You Pause Downloads
HALLELUJAH!! About time...

Booh music, I want plug in a usb stick and play videos on the damn thing!
Re: Guide: Everything You Need to Know About PlayStation TV
As a Vita owner I don't see the appeal of paying an extra 100$ to play my games on my TV, pixelated like hell on top of it. So I think I'll pass...
Now give us a native Youtube app on PS4 Sony!!
Re: How Many People Play Destiny on Average Every Day?
We'll all stop playing the minute Far Cry 4 comes out...
Re: DLC Locations Are Already Being Discovered in Destiny

Re: DisasterClub? Sony Delays DriveClub: PS Plus Edition Due to Server Issues
For shame... the paid version is now "unavailable" to purchase because it says I already have the PS plus edition (even though I didn't buy it!)
This is a real clusterf*** on Sony and Evolutions Studios part! Seriously, they should hide their heads deep in thr sand at this point...
Re: Round Up: DriveClub PS4 Reviews Target Pole Position
@Tasuki skip Pix the Cat... horrible horrible stupid game!
Re: Round Up: DriveClub PS4 Reviews Target Pole Position
@LDXD same thing in Canada mate!
Re: Assassin's Creed Unity Could Still Reach 1080p on the PS4
@get2sammyb indeed!
Re: Assassin's Creed Unity Could Still Reach 1080p on the PS4
FIY, it's "tempĂȘte de merde" and not "merde tempĂȘte"... but we don't have an equivalent of sh*tstorm in french unfortunately! ;p
Re: Round Up: DriveClub PS4 Reviews Target Pole Position
Where is the PS Plus edition? Can't seem to download it remotely from work somehow...
Re: Review: Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor (PlayStation 4)
Is there different difficulty levels to chose from?
Re: Round Up: Alien: Isolation PS4 Reviews Hold Their Breath
Mixed reviews. I think I'll pass and/or wait for a demo of some sort. I love the Alien franchise though. Oh well... decisions, decisions, decisions!
Re: DriveClub, Dust, and Spelunky Free for PS4 in October PS Plus Update
Hmmmm Driveclub demo. Cool. Spelunky, already bought it on Vita and it being crossbuy, well... Dust. Meh. Passed on it on the 360 and PC. Might give it a whirl to check it out.
Rainbow Moon looks fun though.
So an average month for me. But eh I already pay for PS plus to play online so all those games are freebies anyway!
Re: Loot Will Be More Likeable in Destiny's 1.02 Patch on PS4
@Scollurio I'm a writer and editor in real life and the screenwriters at Bungie should be burnt at the stakes mate. There's full potential and hard science-fiction concepts aplenty... but none of it is actually "used" in the game. And that, my friend, is very bad storytelling!
Re: Loot Will Be More Likeable in Destiny's 1.02 Patch on PS4
The big question is: why wasn't it design like this to begin with!? 0_o
Someone needs to be fired at Bungie, the saddist genius whose idea it was to wrap green items in purple gift wrap!!!
Re: Round Up: Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor PS4 Reviews Rule the Ring
@LDXD well it IS good. Just not for everyone I'd say. If you can rent it to make up your mind first, do it. I finished all the story missions and most strikes in under 9 hours my first playthrough.

Re: Round Up: Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor PS4 Reviews Rule the Ring
@LDXD it's a fun game, but I was letdown a bit by how underwhelming everything is. The loot system is broken and the grindfest experience ain't exactly my idea of "fun".
