@Sanquine Fair enough. I can see that it becomes redundant. AC Black Flag was my first, actually. My PS4 is my first console since the original Xbox

@Sanquine most boring IP, really? I mean, you are free to not like it, and I would certainly agree that Ubisoft pushed a bit too many titles out there. Nonetheless, AC (the franchise) was played and liked a lot.

I played over 200 hours in Black Flag.

And even if AC was the most boring franchise in the known universe, that doesn't give anyone the right to steal content from it O.o

@TheMightyPunram maybe before the Taken King half the user base played while hating it, but that is probably not the case anymore.

The way drops and levelling work now is pleasing to most from the feedback I can gather. It is for some a bit confusing at first, because some people don't realize that the drops are based on your current light level. Once you understand that, and how infuse works, pretty much everyone is happy.

Let me explain. Before, pretty much everyone had the same 3-4 "builds". You wouldn't see anyone with that gun or that armor because it was deemed useless based on the light level it provided. It was kinda fixed with when they introduced the ability to raise a piece of armor to the max defense level.

Now, you can hold to any rare, legendary or exotic you like because of its properties. New drops will be based on your light level (some under, some above) and if you want to hold on a specific piece of armor or gun, you can.

If someone gets a pulse rifle he loves (for its abilities or aesthetic), he can feed to that pulse rifle new drops that are higher level but that he doesn't want (say, a hand cannon). By doing so, you can level from 190 light all the way to 300 with the same holding to the gear you like the most, scrapping newer (and higher) drop you don't like in order to improve your current gear.

In short, this means that you don't have to farm The 4th Horseman 20 times until it drops exactly with the properties and level you want/need. Once you have something and you like it, it will follow you for good. You continue the grind, but in order to improve your loved weapon, not in the vain hope of getting exactly what you want.

@dellyrascal I can understand you. Destiny, is a good game, but is not the holy grail nor will it be fun for everyone.

I was an hardcore WoW player back then and I liked the raids. You know, getting 20 (or, ouch, 40) people together to defeat an insanely hard boss. Yeah, that was my thrill. And I get a bit of that back in Destiny.

Now, Destiny doesn't have a designated "tank" class or a "healer". Nonetheless, my friends and I play differently. I'm a Titan defender and often save the day by staying alive and bubble-reviving someone when I'm the last guardian standing. That feels awesome. Some of my friend are more DPS-oriented. Run about with shotguns or whatever they have in their hands. High-risk / high-reward play style.

But that's not for everyone. Not everyone likes to wipe three or four times on a heroic boss and finally killing it (or not, sometimes you have to call it a day).

And I understand those players. I'm not mad at all when someone says that Destiny is not for them and they'll switch to MGS or something else. To each their own, yeah?

@godslayer1975 Listen, a lot of people like this game. My clan mates and I are having a blast, so is pretty much every other player. If you don't like the game, that's up to you and we respect that. However, relax a bit and talk like an adult because right now you sure look like an idiot.

I think that The Taken King is an awesome game.

The story is good, and I laughed at so many lines this time around. Grimoire provides an interesting way to dig deeper. Would they have put very long dialogues or cutscene in the missions, this would get old very quickly when you play and replay the missions. Instead, they opted for short dialogues that actually changes from time to time (I love "from from above" and "I live in your backpack" in the Rasputin strike).

The new quest system makes The Taken King closer to what many think (quests + grind + take on harder and harder challenges) when they think of a MMO.

If you take Destiny as a single-player FPS, you are missing out and you are going against the current here. Destiny was advertised as a MMO FPS, and is truly is. I play with my clan, and we use voice all the time. This is the one of the best kind of gaming I know. It is so close to playing with buddies in the living room and yelling "Watch out, there ANOTHER champion captain".

I love these intense, no, insane moments when the room is full of enemies, where the floor in on fire, where the walls are shooting rockets at you, when bosses are chasing you around and due to teamwork (and after a few wipes), you make it alive.

@viciousarcanum Exactly!

Did the newest patch fix some of the technical issues? I love the game, so reminiscent of Myst

However, mid-way through the story I couldn't play anymore. Every time I would load my save file, the game would crash

It's a great game, but the loading times are very long. I don't understand why, when you die in some area after having killed a few monsters, it takes so long to "reset" the map. It's like the game is loading the whole thing again.

Any NA release date announced?

14.99!!! I got this on my Android tablet for 4$ years ago! O.o

I haven't heard about this game until now. Glad you reviewed it, because I'm sure my wife and I will enjoy it!

@get2sammyb: good list! I just wish this came out way earlier. I know most people offering me gifts already bought them

@Paranoimia I agree with you there. I will grab the free copy for sure, but I think it's only natural if they (Sony) want a extra source of revenue from a season pass.

As long as there's not only 1 car and 2 tracks in the free version, what's the prob?

I will get it. I already had it on PC, but I want to play this game with my friends on the couch

I'm waiting for a US-store price drop before picking it up.

@Carl-G Hi there! How do you get to browse the japanese store? Are you using a proxy or VPN?

I'm a beginner japanese speaker, so I would love to add a some japanese games on my PS4 to play & practice japanese at the same time

I've been playing this game with my wife for the past few days. We absolutely love it!! The visuals are gorgeous (pretty colors!), which is always nice and even more important when I play with her.

Also the fact that be both have very unique abilities (she is the rogue, I'm the mage) is awesome because it brings us together in a very deep co-op play instead of just running side by side.

A funny moment was when we were tired and couldn't figured out a puzzle one day. When we came back the day later, we figured out instantly, I guess we were really tired
