I still keep going back regardless - there's always stuff to get done
Crucible (and it's subsequent Quests) Raids (both Kings Fall and the others) Raid Challenge Mode for Kings Fall Heroic Strikes (with normal strikes as well granting Strike mission specific loot) Prison of Elders Trials of Osiris Iron Banner (which happens every 4-6 weeks) Sparrow Racing League (Holiday seasonal event, hopefully soon to be semi permanent) Festival of the Lost (Halloween event) Daily Heroic Story missions (which can give way for secret side quests) Daily and Weekly Crucible playlists to rack up Legendary Marks Nightfall are more forgiving (no more boot to Orbit on team wipe) Exotic collecting
And another upcoming weekly event during Valentines Day? Combine all that with all of the improvements from The Taken King, I struggle to see what people have to complain about!!
Unquestionably I would... I would buy a Sony PS4 Elite controller before a PlayStation VR headset every single time...
My long sessions on Destiny dictate that the controllers battery, ergonomics and build quality improvements be front and foremost... If you are a casual gamer then no point in delving into one of these however my gaming is becoming more serious (again due to Destiny in terms of co-op PvE like Raids, Nightfall and Strikes as well as PvP events like Trials of Osiris & Iron Banner)
Looks like they have met their Windows Steam Budget
I liked the ambition of reaching £400,000 stretch goal for PS Vita development - looks like PS Vita owners shall go wanting again!! then again I wouldn't mind a PS4 version either
Thank god!! Before I was graced with my PS4's presence, I did have a PS3 and pre-ordered GT6 anniversary edition via the PSN store
The audio was SO dissapointing - to come from Forza 3, Forza 4 and Forza Horizon, GT6 was SO disappointing
Also, personally speaking, I found the 3rd person view camera for GT6 a bit "elasticky" when turning corners... Was almost feeling sick doing 2 laps however I would tolerate that if the thundering V8 of a 1966 Ford GT40 didnt sound like a Dyson DC04 upright being whizzed along at full chat!
I pre-ordered the Digital Guardian Edition of this game from Day One and haven't stopped playing it since!! I was one of those 137,000 watching the live reveal and I am utterly stoked to play House of Wolves... Being able to ascend your VoG gear or CE gear to light level 34 is a god send!!
So far I have to admit, getting my console on Day 1 release, I don't feel special I have to admit
The Watch Dogs Season Pass was a complete balls up (granted this is more Ubisofts problem than Sony's). For example, the Access Granted pack - on the Xbox platform it happened exactly as planned: -
Season Pass holders got all the DLC one week before the general public One week later, the general public can buy the Access Granted pack
On the PS4 however, this was what happened: -
Season pass holders were told the content was available Turns out only part of it was available Stuff was under investigation Angry punters flooded the Ubisoft forums Then one week later when the Season Pass holders were "supposed" to have the content, the general public got access to the Access Granted pack THEN the season pass holders got the additional DLC
It's thoroughly put me off Watch Dogs - I completed it however I ain't gonna platinum it because I have been thoroughly put off by it and, by what I've seen on the Ubisoft forums, Xbox owners did not suffer the same problem as the PS owners did
Then we could compare the launch: -
Xbox had Forza 5 PS4's DriveClub was delayed to 2014
Xbox had Ryse PS4 had Killzone Shadow Fall
Xbox had Dead Rising 3 PS4 had Knack
All the above titles had Day One exclusive content to celebrate the Day One launch PS4 had zero Day One content
Xbox had the Day One edition bundle with limited edition controller and achievement PS4 had Killzone Shadow Fall bundle
So no I do not feel special compared to Xbox One gamers right now
@Scollurio I was stupid enough to buy the Vigilante Edition - I sacrificed DLC content for a cap and scarf that I don't have a hope in hell of wearing in public!!
Ubisoft have totally balls'd up the handling of the Season Pass - total blunder in my opinion
For it being an Alpha it was nothing short of spectacular!!
I sometimes trial out Alpha versions of software (mobile phone OS, apps, PC software etc) and generally speaking Alpha status means "quite buggy" but not here
It's now a straight 50/50 split whether I pre-order GTA 5 or Destiny #ChoicesChoices
Well if anyone is gutted about delays then they clearly never played Need For Speed Rivals (shudders) oh god that game totally put me off the Need For Speed franchise for the foreseeable future
The only surprise I'd like to see would be if all customers who purchased the PS3 version through the PSN Store were able to either get the PS4 upgrade for free or for a small fee (like they did for Call of Duty Ghosts and Assassins Creed)
Not sure.how I'd feel if I was asked to pay full price for it again

Re: Talking Point: Should Sony Build an Elite DualShock 4 Controller for PS4?

I hope Sony release a problem controller soon!
Re: Project CARS' Conclusion to This Le Mans Race Is Unexpected
Funny? Yes
Despite the heart ache caused, I'd rather go through that than put another minute into DriveClub!!
Re: Reaction: Destiny's Prison of Elders Is a Step in the Right Direction
I am TOTALLY hyped for House of Wolves - The Dark Below was a total bummer but House of Wolves will totally make up for it!

Re: Having Problems with Your PS4 Controller's Analogue Sticks? These Aluminium Alternatives Should Help
I have to admit the thumb sticks have started to wear away the grained texture where your thumb would rest and sometimes my thumb slips occassionall
I hope that's not a sign of things to come!
