Re: Talking Point: What Are Your Thoughts on the PS4's Launch Lineup?

ohhaime

@jgrangervikings What do I think Is a good game? It's really too various to say.Currently I'm very much enjoying playing Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA F on my PS3 and Kerbal Space Program on PC.
Some of my favorite games include:Kirby Super Star,Yoshi's island, Half-Life 2 , Journey,Flower,To The Moon,the Mega-Man Zero,Super Smash Bros., Portal 1, Ratchet and Clank,Spyro,Sly Cooper,One Piece : Pirate Warriors, Monster Hunter, Patapon,Pokemon,Gravity Rush,LittleBigPlanet ,Professor Layton,Urban Rivals, Harvest Moon, Gotcha Force, Custom Robo , Chibi-Robo ,Henry Hatsworth , Hotel Dusk ,Batman:Arkham ,Bastion , Notrium ,Psychonauts , Plants Vs. Zombies , Rochard , The Sims , Sanctum, Stacking , Syberia , World of Goo , Ape Escape , Worms , Beyond Good & Evil , Dance Dance Revolution , Guitar Hero , Rockband , Sly Cooper , Aqua Kitty , 1943 , Robotron , Bump & Jump ,Son-Son , Unfinished Swan , Jetpack Joyride ,Donkey Kong Country , Gunstar Heroes , Paper Mario , Dragon Quest Monsters , River City Ransom , Balloon Fight .. I think I should stop now.

What would make Me change my mind on the Line-up?A new: Monster Hunter, Ratchet&Clank, Ape Escape, Patapon; Maybe a new Crash Bandicoot or Jet Moto. Probably whatever Media Molecule is working on. New information showing how Knack has hidden depth.

But big budget studio games are starting to fall out of relevance to me. With less time and money to spend on games then I used to have, I now tend to play more Indie games because they tend to be short but sweet experiences that can be bought on the cheap.

Re: Talking Point: What Are Your Thoughts on the PS4's Launch Lineup?

ohhaime

It's a terrible Line-up for me,there's not even one retail game I would even want to buy.
I don't usually play shooters So Killzone Is meaningless to me.I did play Infamous 1&2 and was thoroughly disappointed by both so I don't care too much about Second Son.

Knack looks way too simple for me to want to spend any money on,DriveClub and Resogun look decent but none of them make me want to run out and buy a PS4 just to play it,and I would probably only play them free from PS+.

The only announced games I would actually pay for are the indie games.Galak-Z ,N++ being the only exclusives. I would consider buying some others (Contrast,Mercenary Kings,Octodad: Dadliest Catch,Transistor,Volume,The Witness) but I could happily buy them on PC. And I'll almost assuredly buy Starbound even though I own it on PC already but that's more because I'd would want to support ChuckleFish.

Lack of exclusive games I want aside, I would still buy a PS4 at launch if I could afford one.

Re: GamesCom 2013: Starbound Crash Lands on PlayStation 4

ohhaime

The reason it looks like Terraria is that the lead ChuckleFish developer Tiy was lead artist for Terraria.

If anyone would like more information you can check out the Daily Dev-blog at http://playstarbound.com/ . You can also support development of the game by Pre-ordering the PC version.

And it seems Sammy missed the fact(easy to do with all the news right now) that a Vita version is also planned for development once the PC version Releases.

Re: PlayStation Store PLAY 2013 Saves You Money This Summer

ohhaime

I probably would have bought them all but my wallet has already died and gone to Steam Summer Sale heaven so none for me.

Edit: Just saw the sale goes through August 20th. So I might end up picking the all up If I can clear out some of my Backlogged games by then.

Re: PS4 Makes Communication a Breeze with Bundled Headset

ohhaime

I don't really use Voice chat but I can really see how handy it would be to be able to plug a headset into you controller,so I appreciate that feature.
Bundling a headset should keep people from using the camera Mic and forcing people to listen their whole house.Unfortunately it still won't stop me from having to listen to/mute their own stupid selves.

I always just use my Wii in standby mode(the yellow light) to charge my controllers.

Re: Sony Officially Reveals the PlayStation 4, Launching Holiday 2013

ohhaime

I don't really care about the PS4 at this point.The meeting went pretty much exactly how I expected things to go.
I like the new Controller and camera set up. The only Social feature I like is the easy streaming/viewing of gameplay video.
The only games I'm interested in are Knack, whatever that thing that MM showed off was and The Witness (but I will probably be able to get that on PC) and none of those are system sellers for me.

Re: Talking Point: What PS4 Games Will Be Announced During Sony's PlayStation Meeting?

ohhaime

I'm trying to think of a game that would make me want to run and buy a PS4 and other then a new Monster Hunter game(which doesn't look too likely) I don't think there is one.
I'd like to see a new Ratchet & Clank,Crash Bandicoot,Ape Escape or Jet Moto games and it wouldn't be a Playstation if it didn't a have new Gran Turismo.
A new Tomba would blow my mind but that's not gonna happen. A new Patapon game would be great too but that's more likely on Vita.

Re: Patapon 3 Marches to the PS Vita's Beat Next Week

ohhaime

Praise be the grand and merciful Sony lords that finally made this happen! I've recently been seriously considering buy a PSP mostly just to play this game(and a few imports)

@ThreadShadow
I know it's not full Vita support but you can play it on the Vita if you sideload it from a PS3 (and maybe a PC, I not 100% sure but I would think you can)

Re: Rumour: Monster Hunter 4 Is Clawing Its Way onto PS Vita

ohhaime

@goldgin Monster Hunter 4 on 3DS is going to have Online Multiplayer just so you know.
Also MH3U has 4 more weapon types and about 3 times as many monsters as Tri so don't write it off just because you have Tri, it's pretty much a whole new game rather then just an expansion.

Re: Rumour: Sony Ditching the DualShock for PlayStation 4

ohhaime

While I do love the Dualshock design and would hope they do like Nintendo and keep it as a Classic/Pro controller option, I don't think I would be too upset if the new controller was a cross between a DS3 and a Vita as long as it doesn't use the terrible "Super Oval" of the Vita because it hurts my wrists.

Re: Rumour: Monster Hunter 4 Is Clawing Its Way onto PS Vita

ohhaime

I'm not sure if this would really help Vita sales that much, Most people who would buy a system because of monster hunter probably already have a 3DS because of Tri G. If they already have a 3DS they might just get it for that rather then buy a new System.
Assuming they would be even in terms of features and graphics I would probably buy the 3DS version if given a choice. Because ..
While the Vita would have proper dual stick controls I will already be used to playing Tri G on 3DS anyway.
Also this is the kind of game I would like to have a downloaded copy of so it's always there.And with the Vita's expensive storage I would rather download it for 3DS.
What the Vita really needs is an Exclusive Monster Hunter game,Bring on Portable 4th !

Re: Sony Bets the Bank on 4K Technology at CES

ohhaime

I don't care about 4K (although I haven't see it myself yet), I still don't have a 1080P TV and I don't really feel like it would be a worthwhile upgrade. My 720P TV still gets the job done fine, I can't imagine 4K would make much of a difference if you're just casually watching.
I agree with nathanuc1988, OLED is the next screen technology I'm looking forward to.I love my Vita's screen and the vivid colors and great response time are something I would like in my next TV or PC Monitor.

Re: Talking Point: What Went Wrong with PlayStation All-Stars?

ohhaime

I think it's because the game is mediocre at best.I won the game from the Twitter contest,and I'm glad I didn't have to pay for it.

The single player modes are so easy that's it's insulting.The complete lack of challenge make them pretty much throw away. I was able to beat the arcade mode on the hardest difficulty with Toro the very first time I started the game and I only lost the first match once when I didn't know what his moves were.

All the characters feels too slow to me and all the combos are too simple with most move knocking enemies out of your reach not allowing you to follow up.

There is hardly any semblance of balance between the characters in terms of Speed,AP generation and Super Attacks.Most characters don't even have their own Supers balanced.Most Level 3 attacks are useless. Some characters have level one or two supers that can potentially clear a whole screen and some can barely hit one foot in front of them.

The scoring system rewards playing recklessly without caring if you die as long as you get a kill.

The fact that there is no cross-save really annoys me. Why give both versions of the game if you have to choose between them?(EDIT: It turns out it does have cross save.)

And I don't know if anyone else has this problem but every time I tried to play online on my PS3(which has a wired connection) the lag has made it unplayable.But when I play on my Vita (wirelessly of course) it is usually not great but playable.

In my opinion this game is only for people who are big enough fans of the characters to over look the gameplay that at best I would called flawed.

Re: Sony Patents Bizarre Break Apart DualShock Controller

ohhaime

@rjejr The drawing show three different way they might be attached.
one shows a peg and hole system, another shows a dovetail sliding system and another shows a thing that I'm not sure what it's called but you basically put two hooks into slots then twist to lock them in place.

Re: Sony Patents Bizarre Break Apart DualShock Controller

ohhaime

I really like this idea looking at it from the point of buying extra controllers. It seems like it could be somewhat cost effective if it wasn't priced much higher then a DS3.
You would only need one controller that could act as a dual shock, A Move & Nav or as two Moves.

It does look like it might be a feel unbalanced when broken apart though.It would probably be tough to get the weight distributed right.

Re: Sony Counting Down to Christmas with PSN Deals

ohhaime

I guess I haven't been keeping track, I honestly didn't know December first was tomorrow until I read this.

I would be complaining about there being nothing announced for NA but they still have enough good will with me from giving out Gravity Rush And Wipeout to keep me happy for a long time.

Re: Start a Special Journey with Travel Bug on PlayStation Vita

ohhaime

@get2sammyb
No I have a WiFi version.It has crazy accurate location finding by Wifi and Near usually finds a good number of people near by me but none of them seem to play anything that use Near.
I guess the idea is that your supposed to take your vita to other places and find people playing games that you are but I don't go that many places and even then I don't like taking my Vita with me out of fear of it being damaged or stolen. I have the same problem with Streetpass on my 3DS. I suppose these things are good ideas for other people that aren't me.

Re: Talking Point: Does the PS4 Need to Do More Than Push Polygons?

ohhaime

PC's always have better processors and prettier pictures so power is never really a selling point for consoles to me.
I won't want to buy a PS4 just because it can render twice as many rubber ducks as a PS3. Games like Journey and The Unfinished Swan were not made because the PS3 was the only thing that had the hardware to run them. The thing that should sell consoles is new experiences. LBP could have been made for PCs with more power and memory then a PS3 but it wasn't. More powerful processors alone do not make new experiences.

I think if Sony doesn't include some kind of touch screen with their next system they will be at a big disadvantage.Because of smartphones and tablets everyone expects things to have touch screens now.I predict that with Windows 8 all laptops will have touch screens as a standard by next year. After that anything without a touch screen for input will start to look like a rotary telephone.

Re: PS Plus Subscribers Secure Free Copy of Batman: Arkham City

ohhaime

That's great for anyone in EU that hasn't played Arkham City yet. That's actually the game that got me to buy a PS3, I didn't want to wait a month for the PC release so I went out and bought a PS3.

If any of these makes it over to NA I hope it's Knytt,I loved the PC game but I'm in "Spend no Money" mode until I can afford a Wii U so Plus is going to be my only source of new games for a while.
