Re: Duke Nukem Movie in the Works, Possibly Starring John Cena

SMKpaladin

@Radbot42 I thought exactly the same regarding cum, but that may be because I know the word only from a naughty viewpoint.

As for Cena, I don't know much about that guy. I stumbled into a YT video of him, where he was watching a video from his fans, while they were standing in the next room watching him fight against waves of tears. Very impact full, but I didn't know who he was back then and didn't care much about what he may have accomplished.

Re: 'People Ask for Story-Based Games, But Don't Necessarily Buy Them'

SMKpaladin

This sounds like someone is looking for an excuse to go all Microtransactions and Loot Box galore.
There are so many examples out there, where you easily could tag "...no one asked for" onto the game. AC Origins is THE AC game everyone was asking for, for such a long time. But no, they had to do the exact same s*** year after year. Everyone complained about the lame combat system in the old AC games, but nothing ever changed. They could have easily left out the MP part of the AC games and instead but more effort towards game play. I didn't ask for this tagged on MP in AC games, but I had to buy them nonetheless, if I wanted to play the SP part. So, yeah I wait for a discount on such games, so that I can tell my self, that I only paid for what I wanted.

Re: Sony's Sending Out Free PS4 Themes for the Holidays

SMKpaladin

I already received this theme last year.

Yesterday I received an email regarding That's You!
You can get up to three PlayLink games for free if you have enough / all trophies in That's You!
I'm still 7 trophies (+ plat) short, will try to get the six and five player trophies over the holidays.

Re: Monster Hunter: World's Main Story Will Take 40-50 Hours to Beat, Says Dev

@ShogunRok @starhops The role of the ship is actually explained on the linked site. It's a ship full of hunters, who travel to the new world in search of an elder dragon called "Zorah Magdaros"

Done with google translate because I'm lazy as hell:

The story of Monster Hunter World in a nutshell:

Every 10 years, the Elder dragons fly over the sea and testify to the New World.
A group of researchers could understand these phenomena and understand why the dragons are embarking on this journey.
In Monster Hunder World, a big ship with monster hunters enters the New World. They want to kill the giant Elder dragon "Zorah Magdaros". This beast is simply a living volcano. The players take on the role of one of these hunters.
In the city of Astera there is a collection of researches and hunters. The hunters help the researchers to understand and justify the monsters. Finally, the hunters also die in the protection of humans and keep endangered creatures away.

Re: Store Update: 18th December 2017 (Europe)

SMKpaladin

@HefHughner We had a pretty awesome Christmas sale last year, that started on 23.12.2016 and ended 21.01.2017. I'm waiting/hoping for something similar to happen again this year, that's why I'm steering clear of all the sales that happened lately.

Re: PS4 Firmware Update 5.03 Does Exactly What You Expect

SMKpaladin

Most people seem to think, that “improve system performance” always means every aspect of the system or system performance for every player in every game / situation.

If you own a PC, you might have received one or two million graphic driver updates which mostly improve performance only for a specific game.

Maybe these firmware updates do exactly the same only with the graphics drivers for the PlayStation. Maybe for a game that will release in near future, so we can't notice a difference at all.

Re: Star Wars Battlefront II Celebrates The Last Jedi with Four Weeks of Free Content

SMKpaladin

I think the biggest problem with mtx is that the players feel they're bent over every time they see them in a full price game. Back when Battlefield 3 came out, you could preorder Premium for an additional €50 right away, taking you to a whopping €110 for the full experience.
When Battlefield 4 came out, they pulled the exact same thing off, and people started arguing that prices are skyrocketing through the roof.
When EA released SW Battlefront there was literally an outrage because they did the same thing again, again, again.
Now with SW Battlefront II, they tried a completely different approach and everyone hates them for that.

Need for Speed (2015) didn't come with a season pass, but they supported the game for (dunno) a full year after release. Putting more time and effort into the game without charging an extra dollar. But still people hated EA.

Most of the time none of all those haters come up with a better idea, they just hate.
I bought NFS Payback and I'm having some good fun with the game without ever putting another € into the game after buying.

Re: It Never Ends, Final Fantasy XV Getting 'At Least' 3 More DLC Story Episodes in 2018

SMKpaladin

The foremost bad thing about the episodes for me is, that they feel and play like standalone rip-offs. I've got no problem playing with Gladio for a while, but I want it to be "my" Gladio from "my" main story progress. You have to leave the game back to the main menu and then access these episodes via some special option, that just feels wrong to me.
I still gotta get back into episode Promto before trying episode Ignis.

Re: Review: Far From Noise (PS4)

SMKpaladin

@gbanas92 I won't buy the game for that price but if I would, I would've to change my system's language setting to German to find out.
My guess is, they just went the lazy path and did not translate anything for the German market. Still, just a guess, but other devs went that path before.

Finally, they adjusted the price to €6,59.

Re: Review: Far From Noise (PS4)

SMKpaladin

Very good review. Never heard of this game, but now I'm very interested.

What really makes me angry is the pricing though. $7.99 in the US Store and €14,99 in the German Store plus the "German version" only has English texts. Not that I need German translation in any game, but this doesn't make any sense...

Re: Missing Bloodborne Monster Finally Hunted Down

SMKpaladin

I'd like to play these games too, but I suck at them so hard, I only manage to get over a few single trash mobs.

I bought the Bloodborne GotY when it was on sale a while back, played it a few hours and never touched it again. I did like Demon Souls though, but that was years ago.

And because of that, I won't buy any Soul-ish game ever again.

Re: Review: de Blob (PS4)

@JoeBlogs More like Splatoon is a poor man's de Blob

I remember playing de Blob 2 on PS3, it was really fun. Never thought they'd bring the first game to a PS system so many years later.

Re: Telltale Culls a Quarter of Its Staff As It Refocuses on Quality

SMKpaladin

@Bad-MuthaAdebisi Or can the engine and start all over from scratch. As a trophy hunter I do like the Telltale Games, they're always an easy Plat.

Besides of Tales from the Borderlands and The Wolf Among Us, I didn't really "like" the other games that much.

Their stupid looking cel-shading graphics look outdated. And I don't support episodic game releases, always waiting for a full release or bundle at a discounted price.
