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

I think it goes for most games that when you are playing on high difficulty you are probably going to be replaying the same bits again and again, and having to play them in a different way to how you would on the standard difficulty setting.

Can't remember uncharted 4 giving me much grief though, I remember wanting to play stealthy at times to avoid a couple of shoot outs but nothing unbearable.
I don't often play games on higher difficulty then the default setting unless I'm going for trophies I just don't get enough gaming time to spend hours on the same part of the game.

@KnightRider666 well with resident evil 2 confirmed for a remake resi 3 is likely to follow at some point let's just hope it won't take as long as the wait between REmake and the resi 2 remake

Re: PlayStation Plus Price Increase Confirmed for US and Canada

I usually get my ps+ and xbl membership online at a discounted price but considering xbl costs more I always manage to find a better deal with the year of xbl (around %50 off) than I do for ps+ (around %25).
I understand inflation but at a time when people have generally not had much nice things to say about ps plus it is surprising.

Re: Soapbox: Let's Be Honest, E3 2016 Was Disappointing

God of war looks fantastic and sony's conference was on form for me the 'winner' of e3 but this year's e3 was definitely lacking.
And considering all that Nintendo has in the pipeline they showed so little besides zelda (which looked great).
Some things to keep an eye on but e3 didn't get me that hyped the way last year's did, if anything I would say it was the most disappointing e3 in recent years

Re: Reaction: Will Xbox's Scorpio Take the Sting Out of PS4K?

ReigningSemtex

Well I barely play my xbox one so by the time I upgrade my telly I will be wanting to get the ps4k but I can't imagine wanting to buy the xbox scorpio just to play my small library of exclusive games. Who knows though maybe by the time it's released I will have a change of heart but for now my attention is still on playstation just as it was leaving last gen and entering this gen

Re: Uncharted 4's Focus Testing Didn't Always Go Smoothly

@Gamer83 I totally understand what you are saying and I agree I mean look at what happened to crash bandicoot (using a naughty dog example) after naughty dog had finished with it, but the problem is uncharted is a big name just like crash and halo and although I would be happy to see games I love end on a high note there will always be people that don't want them to end and it will still bring in the $'s regardless of the fact it can harm a game series legacy overall.
I am yet to play halo 5 and I know many fans disliked halo 4 but I had some great fun with it I remember thinking 343 had done a good job with the title, maybe I am in the minority.
So I guess I am on the fence about it because while I think they should leave it how naughty dog left it I imagine Sony will be wanting to use the name some more and if I am honest I don't think I would be able to resist going back it.
Uncharted golden abyss didn't quite have that naughty dog magic and polish but it was a thoroughly enjoyable uncharted game regardless so it can be done I guess it's up to the fans to choose to ignore it or not. We'll have to wait and see

I am completely happy with the characters in uncharted 4. I imagine if there is another uncharted developed by a different team it would be Sam and sully with elena and drake making a cameo, who knows what will happen with uncharted now but I have enjoyed the ride, really great games.
