Booo, they'd better up the ante on the included games for PS4 if they want that kind of money.

another push for me to play on pc. the ps+ games have been pretty shitty for a while now and paying for online multiplayer for games without dedicated servers is a bit shit as well. 

I'm watching the life is strange intro screen to have that nice guitar track looping while I feel melancholic and procrastinate on watmm.

alien isolation is such a stressful game! after a month you can easily get PTSD 

i'm playing my own game because i need to test it a billion times before i'm done 

the last game i played by someone else is called The Real Texas, which is a fun surreal action-rpg with lots of cool funky details. the only thing i knew about it going in was that there is a part where you wrestle a wizard, WWE style. 

for you fighting game fans, the new King of Fighters releases tomorrow on PS4. should also be coming to PC too hopefully

fair warning: it doesn't have the best graphics but the gameplay looks pretty damn fun

Auntie Peggy won't be very happy with you ...

i dunno. i just can't seem to wrap my head around anime stuff. i bought xrd but really didn't like the way it felt at all. i know that kof isn't really straight up anime game but i bought 13 and also never really got a taste for it. 14 looks basically like 13 with more characters and uglier =\

sfv is still very satisfying to play. i haven't really played much lately and not done enough research/practicing to take the next step in upping my game. but i can still hold my own in the middling ultra silver/gold rankings. 

supposedly tekken 7 is releasing at the end of february. game looks so good. easily my most anticipated release. probably just stick to sfv until then

I played the demo for this - it's all right, but I miss the series' hand-drawn pixel art. These character models are generic and uninspired and the lighting is poor.

I'll stick with the NEO·GEO originals.

Have you tried it?

Good luck ! What kind of game is it ?

I put close to 2 hours into DX: Mankind Divided. I was enjoying it up until the arrival in Prague, when it crashed during a first-person cutscene. Launched it a second time, same thing. Third time...same thing. So looks like I can't progress beyond that point until Eidos patches it.

Is it more common now for AAA titles to still have bugs upon release?

I think I'm gonna wait a couple of weeks until I buy DX.. otherwise I just won't play any more of NMS.

preeeeeeeeeeeetty much. but ... it's kind of always been the case for games to have bugs or seem unpolished or seem unfinished or whatever. Did You Know? even the NES console from the 1980's has a wide range of buggy, glitchy, broken games. 

the whole, patching + day 1 patch release thing is a blessing as much as it is an annoyance to the gamers. but, at least the opportunity is there for a game to go through development, hit a deadline, be released ... and then be patched post release. 

it's just annoying for the early adopters to essentially be treated as 'free bug testers' for the developers. 

 ~~~

no man's sky... for example, is a game i wanna play and check out ... but the triple aaa pricing doesn't sit well with me cos honestly the game is and looks like an indie game ... but is getting away with triple AAA pricing on account on the hype + intense marketing.

but !!! on top of that.. i'm sort of guessing and hoping that the game will be pretty different in a years time compared to at launch. i imagine optimisation and performance will be improved .. bugs and things ironed out. 

i'm happy to wait, and pay less for what is (potentially on a tiny level) a better experience. 

I solved the crashing problem with DX:MD. Had to disable everything on my DLC list on Steam. I was able to clear that hurdle for the time being. Still could use a patch tho.

As far as NMS goes, more patches are supposedly under way.

Anyone up for some Bioshock 2 multiplayer on PS4? Reviews say they bumped up the physics engine significantly.

Not a single problem in my Deus EX here, I have no idea what the fuss is about with all those mixed Steam reviews. Looks like trolling at this point.

Ambience is top notch. Prague feels like a Half Life 2 city. It's really nice to explore. I like how the level design evolved from the previous game with a much better use of verticality (well, verticality wasn't really a thing at all in Human Revolution tbh). Also, the secondary quests pile up quite nicely on each other.

nm, no mp in this collection

Bought Abzû, because I absolutely loved Journey and it looked like a lush game to chill out with. Not feeling it at all, something's off.

Rocket League finally got its hooks into me. Anyone still playing? Add stomachshoulders on steam

YES, totally got a City 17 feel from Prague. I don't think it's coincidence.

Combat-wise the Dawn engine feels smoother than the one for HR did, but the controls are still taking some getting used to for me.

Dark Souls III dlc trailer is out !! time for HYPE all over again. 

((( tbh ... i'm gonna try and sit on this one until both DLCs are out and then give the game a proper replay i reckon ... maybe ... )))
