The Video Game Thread

So, got PS4 and Battlefield 4 (not really much choice atm, but as I enjoyed Black on PS2 I decided to go to war). But holy crap, little did I know that there is Mad Max game on the way. Damn, I really hope that they make it right from the start, but at least this trailer looks pretty good:

I've been debating whether to get a PS4 or not. So far, I haven't seen a reason too. Though, in a few months when inFamous : Second Son, Thief and MGS : Ground Zeroes come out....


I've been playing through the entire Mass Effect series for the first time lately. Been about a month to get through all three. Not too far into the third one quite yet, but I can tell some crazy shit is going to go down.

The choices the games makes you make.... it makes you feel as though what you do actually MATTERS. People will comment on your previous actions and major consequences will arise from the options you choose. It's incredible.

 

[D.Ingram]

Still noping at it.

I'm still glad I have a PS4, even if I don't have that any games for it. I've been thinking about picking up Tomb Raider for PS4. I'm really waiting for Ground Zeroes though

 

[D.Ingram]

Buy me Bonestorm or go to hell!

I have Tomb Raider for the PS3. I find it... mediocre. Really have no idea why everyone flipped their shit about it early last year when it came out. I got it right after Christmas and haven't touched it in nearly a month.

Well I saw there was a flash sale going on in the PS network and almost bought Killzone for $41, but I decided on a hunch to get Tomb Raider.

I was worried since I only played it for about a half hour on the Xbox 360 and then got bored and never played it, BUT I actually love it. Got really far in it already and don't regret it.

Now I just gotta wait till next month to get Outlast, and then i'll see what comes after that for PS4 games.

So the new Killer Instinct trailer just got put up; Spinal got a full video reveal and Fulgore got teased. I'm sat in copious amounts of my own spunk right now.

If you're willing to pay for each character.

FULGORE

I'll get a Xbox One eventually, probably after all the good characters get added

Or you know, buy them all for the price of a standard retail title. Durrr.

 

[Keenan]

But you're still paying for a free game.


I'm just not sure I like the business model. Hope the game is good and all, but I feel like they could easily screw you.

 

[D.Ingram]

It's not a free game. You're getting one (rotating) character and access to online matches for free, that's it. Season 2 will NOT force people to pay full price again, and as far as I know, those who haven't purchased it will not have access to Arcade or Story modes when they're released with Fulgore in March.

I don't understand everyone's dislike over it at this point, since Double Helix and Ken Lobb have made it clear that KI will never breach the price of a retail release. Would you rather pay full price for Season 1 and then buy Super Killer Instinct at the end of the year for full price again? Then Super Killer Instinct Turbo for full price AGAIN six months later with balance fixes that break the game further and bring a host of new bugs? No, no you wouldn't. Ken's own words on it from last year;

 

[Keenan]

Only Capcom does that shit. That's why everyone is sick of Street Fighter. I admit, I was duped into Marvel vs. Capcom 3, but I said "Heeeeeelll naw" to Ultimate whateverthefuck Marvel Vs. Capcom 3.

But, I suppose if the director is that adamant about it, then that's a good thing. I just hope it ends up being good (even if I won't ever play it).

 

[D.Ingram]

Exactly - only Capcom does that shit (and Arc System Works)

 

[Snyde]

Still waiting on KI to have a PC port. Pls, Microsoft, plssssssssssss!

 

[zerostatic]

Bought myself Gran Turismo 6 for PS3 for xmas. It is a cool, fun game, but I don't have much time to play with school being back in session.
I'd like a PS4, but I will wait until I finish my Master's degree or until another Fallout or Elder Scrolls game is released for it.

They're considering it - apparently a 360 port might be in the works

 

[Keenan]

Finished Mass Effect 3 for the first time. I'm so... conflicted.

 

[Darkofeden]

If they port it to 360 then i'll never need an Xbox One

Well at least until some good exclusives start coming out.
