Re: PS4 Exclusives Prove Popular for PC Players on PS Now

@Snake_V5 Im not sure if you played each of them on release or in the collection pack, but for me, I played each at release and Uncharted 2 was such a step up over U1 and blew so many other games of that era out of the water, especially for action/adventure and storytelling. (Even during the era of tacked on multiplayer, U2’s was fantastic!)

U3 had better set pieces and graphics and multiplayer. But I felt like the story was a lot more muddy and all over the place. I was overhyped at the time and was really disappointed by it. It wasn’t as big of a jump like U1 to U2 was and the series was coming off of this stellar reputation from U2. For me U2 was the pinnacle of the series. (U4 just seemed to drag a bit once you get to the island)

@get2sammyb I’m shocked Ubisoft didn’t give up on Rocksmith. But this model and targeting all those app based guiar learning tools seems perfect.

It really is an amazing learning tool. It’s taught me so much, and got me playing guitar. I’ve since started real lessons as well, but as a song learning tool it’s unmatched. I was fully playing stuff like Cheap Trick’s Surrender at 100% before ever having a teacher.

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Resident Evil Village?

I loved it. It might be my favorite, except for the nostalgia that 5 has for me because it got me into the series (besides failing miserably as a kid at 3)

Perfect length, never stayed in one place too long. Nice side stuff and backtracking. Perfect imo. Also nailed the story and I loved all the villains

Re: Reaction: What Next for PlayStation?

You made a really good point. I thought I was just getting older and that’s why the news seemed less interesting, but i honestly question why I log into PS 4 times a day anymore. Sony just isn’t doing anything exciting and when there is news it’s a quick burst that lasts for a day or two.

Re: Soapbox: A Resident Evil Outbreak Reboot Makes Far Too Much Sense

4-6 players has me hopefully it’s not another asymmetrical type of deal. Hope it can celebrate the franchise and put iconic hero’s and villains against each other in scenarios like Outbreak.

I did enjoy Resistance for the first two or so weeks but once Masterminds became leveled up and you got a noob on your team, it was miserable.

I had to quit playing PVZ Battle for neighborville for this exact reason. I loved the game but then it started to become a chore for me to complete dailies etc and I started to get stressed out by it!

I’ve switched to SP only games mainly now because I know I’ll feel the same way with so many games going the live service/battle pass route.
