@eliotgballade : curiously , although most people in this comments section back cervantes , kenway's winning in by a country mile in the votes . why is this ?
Interesting feature , I myself enjoy button bashing QTE's . shenmue "title" QTE (the punching one) was great . when on holiday I seek out "fist of the north star" punching game - broke a brand new watch on this once (great times!)
@mitcHELLspawn : here IS a funny joke related to the article :
Superintendant Chalmers "The Aurora Borealis ? At this time of year ? At this time of day ? In this part of the country ? Localized entirely within your kitchen ?"
Principal Skinner "Yes"
Superintendant Chalmers "May I see it ?"
Principal Skinner "No"
@get2sammyb "STATS A FACT!" [cue sky tv style whooshes and jewellery channel explosion] : second game reviewed this week on pushSquare to garner a lowly 2 pushStars , first time this has happened in pushSquare history .
optimistic numbers indeed , remember 2015 is the year of the xbox 1.5 . just wait and see , they can do a marketing thing with the "15" part of 2015 too . (i am so in the wrong job!)
@get2sammyb : lol no , reminded me of champions league theme tune . this trailer is vastly improved if muted and swing time playing instead (that's what i did)
@SimonAdebisi : agreed , one of my all time favourites . interestingly, i wonder if the difference between dreamcast version compared with the saturn version would be as stark as the difference between the dreamcast version when compared to a pS4 version (...but i digress)
every six months or so we get news like this , but has the opportunity gone for chapter 3 ? 12+ years is a long time ,there must a whole generation that are unaware of shenmue and would probably prefer to shout obscenities at each other through their headsets whilst playing CoD on xbox .
now i feel even more old
what's with everyone about the score ? i'm sure if pushSquare did decimal point scores this would be closer to a nine than an eight , but they don't , so there you go . review reads it's better than an eight , not quite good enough for a nine . IDK ,maybe pushSquare should look at how it rates score scales. seems opinions are strong on this . how about a feature and / or vote about the scoring system on pushSquares ? (personally I prefered the early system on pushSquare of a four squares scale , from poor to excellent . you start getting into scores "out of 100" and things get blurry) nice review btw , all apologies for this long post .
like JMC i can't vote , i've never heard of either of them ! (next week can we have Jack Flak [Rick Norton] versus Oswald "Oosie" Nelson [Douglas Bild] please)
morgan from darkstalkers would win against bayonetta but bayonetta would win against dragon age morgan (inspite of her sounding a bit like an ice-cream/dessert)

Re: Feature: Five Ways PS4 Can Keep the Lead in the Next-Gen Console Clash
it defies logic that the xbox (minus) one will outsell the pS4 - but it will . as michael once asked " Why ? Why ? tell 'em that is human nature. "
