Re: Review: Resident Evil 6 (PS4)

Remastering a game that was so flawed in the first place doesn't seem a wise move really. As you say, it's lazy. With the AAA game releases starting to stack up for PS4, I can't see why many folks will choose this one?

Re: Talking Point: What's Gone Wrong with PlayStation Plus?

I think that if they could provide one AAA game per quarter, it would keep most subscribers happy. Some of the indie games are pretty good, I seem to have missed out on Rocket League , but it needs a little more meat on the bone. I will never agree with the idea of charging for PS+ just to have access to online games; but since I have little choice, it would be nice to squeeze a bit more out of them.

Like a lot of games, the idea of it was a lot more exciting than the reality. I didn't bite and am quite glad at the moment. I bit with Destiny and sank a lot of hours into it, but abandoned it over the TTK pricing issue. That has taught me to wait it out and see. So far, the story seems to be that the end game isn't up to much, so I will look at it again in a few months.

Re: Talking Point: What April PlayStation Plus Freebies Do You Want?

@thatguyEZ, I can see your point, but I would say that when I bought PS+ the games were good enough to tempt me in on the basis that I hoped to get at least a few more of the same quality. Also, as I play online games a lot, I have no choice, unlike on PS3. Anyway, I have to have it to play online, so I guess the games are just a bonus (or not) nowadays.

Thanks for the great review. I have to say that I'm still not tempted yet. Common sense says that, after the Destiny experience, it's worth waiting until Ubisoft sort a few things out and make the side mission stuff more appealing with updates (hopefully). I will give it a few months, since there is lots of good stuff to play at the moment. I am spending way too much time on Smite

@AlexStinton Thanks. The model is an interesting one; as players can play for free in perpetuity? SMITE for example, I have been playing the beta, and it seems that you don't need anything like 70+ gods to have all the bases covered, I have 11 so far including the starter ones, and seem able to cope ok. I suppose the idea is that players get bored with the same dozen gods and either stop playing or buy the pack. I wonder how this will work out for Hi-Rez?

Re: Is Destiny About to Come Back with a Bang?

The attraction of Destiny has long worn off on me; mainly due to them ripping off vanilla players with TTK, which is where I got out. The only thing I miss is the PVP, but SMITE just came out for PS4; and it's free, so that's that sorted. Don't think I would invest in Destiny 2, especially if they have the same pricing strategy; I just believe that Bungie are taking gaming in the wrong direction by doing this.
