No, I " only " have around 400 Steam games. I have around 130 ps3 games, ( well over 200 if i can be bothered to get ps plus ) 40 Xbox games, 80 Saturn games 24 ps4 games, and a host of others spread over 12 systems .
Well that' s another issue I have. I have so many games, such a huge back log, ( 800 by my last count and that was BEFORE December ) that I am even less inclined to sink 100 hours in one game . When i can finish 10, 20 games in that time frame and whittle my backlog away.
Not so much as burned out, as just a dislike for grinding. i just don't like to do the same thing in the same spot over and over and over again, just to level up so I can tackle that boss . It feels like padding to me. I'd rather make forward motion and see rest of the game instead of twiddling my thumbs, doing nothing.
Most Jrpgs don't really appeal to me because they cant ( or wont) let go of the grinding mechanics.
So that were not Tekken 1, 2, 3 Tekken tag and Tekken 4 then, who came packed with features hidden characters and unlockables and stuffed to the gills with content. And sold on the strength of their game play and reputation and who didn't need DLC in the slightest.
I loath DLC with a passion and avoid it when I can, this will be no difference.

Second reboot.
Don' t forget the 2006 reboot.
And Square Enix always had a bit too high hopes for the second Tomb Raider reboot.
Tomb Raider is long gone from the days where it was a massive head liner like COD and GTA are these days.
I still have to play the bloody reboot and Rise is hanging back in my ps4 backlog.
Anyway, no doubt the Marvel properties will be based on the movie incarnations.
No doubt this will go over well with the punters.
Dirt 4 ? Oh yes ! ...ahem. I played 1 2 and 3 to death. And while I like Dirt Rally. It' s a bit too soul crushing, controller throwing, swearing like a sailor, hard at times .
Dirt Rally caused me to invent some more inventive new swear words, because the old ones don't suffice anymore.
But I do love me some rally racing, so I'll be on board for Dirt 4. Hopefully it will be better then WRC 6 which was a massive disappointment, compared to 5 and 4.
After two games already ? Is Tomb raider going the Spiderman route ? A complete reboot every few years, to the despair of the fans and the groaning indifference of the mainstream.
mleh. As long as Square Enix is the publisher and not the developer. Their track record over the past 20 years is spotty at best, especially since April 2003.
And if this is going to be based on the movie verse, ( and off course it wil be. It' s the most well known incarnation. ) you can drop my already middling interest even further.
@Jake3103 Hmm, I' ll wait for the inevitable sale and price cut. It' s not as if i don't have a massive backlog to contend with, including several tales games. It' s kinda looming.
The chaotic button mashy battle system in the demo, actually put me rather off. I had no idea what I was doing and what character was responding to my random button mashing.
I'll give this a pass till there is a sale on or something.
Yeah, this is gonna be bargain bin fodder. Not to mention the ridicilous amount of tat, here is hoping it will end up on Ashen's brown sofa to be mocked.
@kyleforrester87 I liked 7, was okay with 8, was indifferent about 9. I hated and still hate 10 with a passion. Was indifferent about 12 at best. Absolutely hated 13 and it' s follow ups. And i' m mostly indifferent about 15 so far. From what I saw about 15 doesn't appeal to me in the slightest.
But it' s a huge series with 15 main entries and even more sub entries. It' s likely to be very diverse and polarizing.
@kyleforrester87 i didn't have any expectations for the game when it was released, to be honest. I know I hated 10 with a passion. ( and still do ) So I was apathetic to FF 12 at best. I might buy the rehash ...ahem remake, when it' s on sale but not sight unseen, for full retail. Or whatever Square plans to charge for it.
And its not like I don' t have a massive MASSIVE backlog to begin with.
@kyleforrester87 Didn' t like it on release. Didn' t like it when I replayed it in 2013. So I doubt I' ll like it now, now its been run through the remake grinder.
Don' t give them ideas will you ? im stil waiting for Rockstar to release a collection called GTA 3,97 with GTA 3 and all its versions ( VC SA VCS LCS ) on it
Sounds more like a slapdash, randomized mish mash of games and fluff, collected on a single disc to milk ...I mean tide the fandom over, before Square finally decides to release 3.
The title makes perfect sense then, it' s just as confused and random as the game it' s plastered over.
Yes the psn store is slow and sluggish and a pain to navigate, on both the ps3 and the ps4. I usually just buy my PlayStation games on the PC version of the store. And I very much doubt that's what Sony had in mind .
External hard drive support will do just fine for me. Ps One games would be nice, but its not as if I don' t have them on my PSP. Ps Vita TV and Ps 3 to begin with. The rest would be nice. But personally, I don' t care a jot about stats.
As if it isn' t cold enough to begin with. I am a fan of white consoles, however i' m not at all tempted by this one. My original glacier ps4 will do just fine. In truth I only bought it last year , but its keeping my Wii ( white ) ps 3 ( white ) Nes ( off white ) and Snes ( kinda white ) company.

Re: Poll: Should Resident Evil Remain First-Person for Now?
@kyleforrester87
Eh, I tried the demo and while it' s better then 4.
Considering how much I hate 4, that doesn' t say much.
I'll wait for a discount.
Re: Poll: Should Resident Evil Remain First-Person for Now?

I never liked 4 though.
To me the most Resident Evil, Resident evil are still 1 2 3 and REmake

Re: Poll: Should Resident Evil Remain First-Person for Now?
No.
I only played the demo, but it felt like a Resident Evil game in name only.
Much like 4 only feels like Resident Evil in name only.
Unfortunately, sales speak the most to Capcom, so this wil be the way forward for the series.

Re: Review: Tales of Berseria (PS4)
@smythelove
Well even if the game eases you in, the demo really put me off.
Re: Ni no Kuni II Combat System Detailed, Gets New Screenshots and a Worldwide Launch
@RedMageLanakyn
That actually puts me off even more to be honest.
I hate grinding.
I'd rather play a different game then grind.
Re: Tekken 7 Post-Launch Support Wouldn't Exist Without Paid DLC, Says Director

For now anyway, maybe when it goes on sale, I might change my mind.
