Aww...here I was hoping the campaign would continue from San Francisco. Seemed like we were making good progress in the resistance. Oh well.

Hmm...I rather like the cinematic experience when it comes to games like this. I'll give it a shot.

Ugh...I'm done. I just...I'm done.

The Arishok, hands down.

The Qunari are not easily swayed by women, as was evident from Sten's behavior in Dragon Age: Origins. Morrigan was the only one to wear him down with her constant bombardment of innuendo. Leliana did kind of get him to admit to having a sensitive side, but he remained blunt nonetheless.

The Arishok, on the other hand, wasn't very easy to please - let alone earn his respect as either a male or female Hawke. He'd still try to cleave you regardless of whether or not you earned it, contingent on whether or not you try to save Isabela from him.

This isn't a gender issue, but trying to wear him down with poisons, daggers and sex appeal won't work.

As a rule of thumb, I've decided not to get too hyped up about anything new. Watch_Dogs and Thief have proven to be lackluster, and the PS4 and XBO both have been riddled with hardware and software issues. I don't have high expectations for anything "next-gen" anymore since the experiences I have on my Wii U and PS4 are virtually the same as they were last-gen, just faster. All I can hope for now are great games and an innovative cross-platform service that'll connect Nintendo Network, PlayStation Network and Xbox Live users together on a single game. I know it's a long shot, but it won't feel like gaming has reached the true next generation until they implement something revolutionary. I'm not counting virtual reality since that concept barely seemed like a step up from motion gaming, and to try and implement this so soon after the arrival of next-gen consoles seems little more to me than a blatant cash grab. Unless they figure out a way to make it work in tandem with last-gen motion controllers...

I'm too busy saving Eorzea to care about hacking up Chicago at the moment. I'll just wait it out.

As long as they don't ruin Dead Space any more than they already have...I don't understand the mentality behind streamlining a franchise to sell more units when it means compromising everything about what the game originally was. Case in point, Assassin's Creed.

If Knack was free, I'd get PS+. There was no way I was going to platinum it within a week renting it from GameFly.

@SimonAdebisi True. Though it seems either free-to-play or indie games are in the limelight at the moment.

Kinda reminds me of Turok for some reason. Hoping this regains its momentume.

There's more than enough of an install base at this point in time, but I've seen a lot of PS4s and XBOs traded in or sold either because of hardware failure or lack of games. I generally don't like to get too hyped up only to be set up for disappointment. Case in point, Thief.

@Remixora You mean, like, tomorrow? Ha ha ha.

They're still making WWE games?

I would've preferred it if Sony left PS+ as an optional service when it comes to online multiplayer. It makes me feel like I'm having to pay more to fully access the games I would play. Like, you'd already have to pay $65~ just to get a game like KZ:SF and then an additional $9~ a month to play it online. I mean sure, it comes with it's perks like discounts on the store and free games every once in awhile, but they're slim pickings in my region. EU and JP PS Stores get earlier discounts on AAA titles, while the US store seems to worship indies more often than not.

I'd like it if they had a Skype, Oovoo or Mumble app on the PS4 to make it easier to coordinate between PS3 and PC players on Final Fantasy XIV.

Much as I hate the Xbots...I think I'm just going to get an Xbox One out of pity. Besides, my next-gen collection of systems is only missing the Xbox One. A 3DS, Vita, Wii U and PS4...It just doesn't feel complete without it.

I imagined myself being happier to learn that the XBO will lag behind the Wii U and PS4 both this generation, but...I actually feel pretty bad for them. Dropping the price on the hardware is one thing, but they still don't have games and you'd still need a premium subscription for things that the Wii U and PS4 generally have for free. It's like they're holding their breath now...hope they don't drown.

Cervantes. Why? Well, it's pretty simple actually:

Imbued with the power of Soul Edge > Eagle Vision

I miss the days when gamers didn't give a damn about resolution. What kinds of TVs are people gaming on these days? 80"? This is just ridiculous.

If it's anything like Dream Club I might look into it.

Eh...I'm too busy playing XIV with family and friends.

The hubris of some of these "anal lists" disturbs me.

I try not to be a presumptuous prick like most gamers seem to be these days, making their judgements about a game based on let's play videos with players who may or may not have extensive knowledge about it in any way whatsoever. I'll try it before I make my decision.

Two words: Big whoop.

@get2sammyb Indeed. I'm pretty sure the relentless annual rotation between Infinity Ward and Treyarch had something to do with it. That, plus the time it would would take porting the various titles between the PS36Wii would put a time crunch on the writers...or, at least I'd assume so.

Maybe this new CoD will actually have a thought-provoking plot in contrast to everything else since World at War. I could care less about multiplayer at this point.

As long as it's exclusive to the PS4, avoiding being handicapped by the XBO, it should prove to be as challenging as Demon's Souls.

Already saw the trailer. Color me bored of the close-minded, militant and quasi-imperialistic mentality that CoD perpetuates annually.

It'll give something the dude-bros will be busy with.

"Hideo Killed the Radio Star"

Seriously, guys? xD

Heihachi, hands down, because even his voice actor transcends death.

Inquisition for me. I've been dying to see my Warden and Hawke wandering Thedas again...oh, and my lovechild with Morrigan? Where is s/he?

The fanboys reek of butthurt, apparently.

Eh...after XIII I decided I wouldn't get my hopes up for other installments in the franchise aside from their MMOs. I WOULD like an XI port to the PS4 and Wii U, though.

I already played the trilogy on the PS3 and sunk over 400 hours into the game through replays, completion runs and platinum trophy farming. I'm not up for it again. The only next-gen console that NEEDS the ME trilogy is the Wii U. Much as I love the Ladon - a Reaper Blackstar and Hydra love child - I wanted to be able to explore the myriad of relationships and decisions without having to feel hyper-competitive and completionistic because of the stupid time stamps on trophies and my online profile. I wanted to see Conrad Verner on the ME3 SE, but no, EA has to act all high and mighty and treat Nintendo and Sony both like second-class citizens.

This is the same guy who said Nintendo was better off becoming a third-party developer and abandon the hardware sector altogether, even speculated that Sony wanted priority for Call of Duty DLC to get an edge over Microsoft...

Why is he still running amok? All he's doing is perpetuating nonsense.

Kinda looks like a modified Frostbite engine...

Needs a YouTube app, MP3 device support and ability to organize games and apps more efficiently. I really miss the XMB...

Uh...about that Saint's Row screenshot...

I was under the impression that PS Now was streaming the games exclusively, so why would it take up any hard drive space at all? Unless Sony's just planning to port the digital copies of PS3 games to the Store? In which case, why don't they just add that tab onto the PS Store? I'm just speculating here, but I'm under the impression that there's some miscommunication here.

Looks like EA's making BioWare dude-bro all their games these days...Inquisition just might be the last DA I'll ever play.

Eh...Not that the library's not impressive, but I've played the good indie titles on my PS3 already, as well as most of the third-party titles. Didn't play through the KZ:SF campaign yet, and need to try Second Son, but XIV is taking ALL of my time at the moment.

This is the same dumbass who said that Nintendo was better off putting their franchises on Sony and Microsoft consoles. He should just go to ground before people start a witch hunt over amateur analysts.

Yeesh...EA's treating Nintendo like second class citizens like the Japanese are treating Sony the same way. The hubris would piss off a lot of people, though.

So, it's Pachter's fault that all the idiotic fanboys started screaming that nonsense about coercing Nintendo to abandon the Wii U and develop games for the PS4 and XBO. Far as I'm concerned, he knows nothing. Microsoft probably paid him off to say that gibberish.

@sinalefa If physical adopters pay more, they'll be compensated accordingly. For instance, those who bought the digital collector's edition of Final Fantasy XIV only have access to the game and digital vanity items. Those who bought the physical copy will get the same, plus artwork, soundtrack AND security token. Was it worth $30 more? You bet your ass it was. I saved what was potentially another $50 easily by having all of that bundled together. Meanwhile, digital adopters only have the game - and that particular purchase may or may not even be transferable to the next generation of consoles. Having a discount for the digital version is only fair. They're already paying full retail price, minus state taxes.

Huh...so even FPS games won't save the XBO. Well then, EA, time to jump ship and give Sony and Nintendo special treatment this generation.

It really irks me that developers don't list these games on the PlayStation Store at cost. I mean, they just put the game up on a server - all of it data which can be physically compressed in an infinite number of ways - and they never have to print written material or produce any cases or discs. If anything, I'd pay for a digital copy of a game if it were $15-20 less than retail price.

If I can play this with my cousins and nephews across the PS3, PSV and PS4 I'll get it.

Looks like EA set themselves up for failure again...Seriously, they should wise up and follow Activision's example: Make their games accessible to EVERYONE. Good God, two years ago I would've shot myself if I was rooting for Activision. Alas.

Can I organize my games now? Instead of having to look through all of them through that messy bar to find one to play?
