Big Fresh Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 But doing some Terrorist Hunt in this would be a great reunion for Team Leeroy Jenkins. Would still prefer to get it for $40 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zimbra Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Been playing a bit of Rimworld, whose pitch is "Dwarf Fortress, but in space." It's still an alpha, but there's quite a bit going on already. The basic build/harvest/craft loops are in and work pretty well, although it seems really easy to run out of food in the early game. Where it really shines is the combat. The engine was originally supposed to run a tactical shooter, so unlike DF you get full control over your troops and there's a cover system. I repelled a pirate raid last night by drawing them into a valley and outflanking them, which was very satisfying. Then an alpaca kicked my hunter to death and everyone starved, so the Dwarf Fortress roots are very real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Fresh Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 I need to quit my job and become one of these full-time streamers. The amount of games coming out and in my backlog that I want to spend time with makes my head hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cliff Hanger Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Dropped an hour into Devastation. It's not the worst Platinum game I have played, but if Metal Gear Rising and Bayonetta 2 are MLB, it's church league. Pretty, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Fresh Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 PS4 dropped their price to $350. I'd still recommend X-Box One though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Fresh Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Nah, PSN is so fucking problematic. I never have anything but trouble with it. The PS4 is an amazing piece of hardware with amazing games, held back by a trash online network. And I don't mean for multiplayer, I mean everything. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 To clarify - the price drop is only on the 500 GB HDD model Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The PS4 is an amazing piece of hardware with amazing games, held back by a trash online network. And I don't mean for multiplayer, I mean everything. I have had relatively little issues with PSN, which has surprised me. My biggest issue with the console is probably the menu layout and how disorganized it seems at times. I also do not like how the Playstation Store is laid out... especially if you're just looking for either PS Plus Freebies or Flash Sale games. I think by and large the game library on PS4 right now between current and upcoming games is the better of the two consoles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think by and large the game library on PS4 right now between current and upcoming games is the better of the two consoles. PS Plus is the only advantage the Playstation has over Xbox. Almost everything else is either equal or better on Xbox. PSN just isn't as good as Xbox Live. Xbox Live makes everything about multiplayer gaming easy and efficient. PSN and their interface just makes things harder than it needs to be. I don't understand people who think the PS4 library is better than the XBone. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because, the main reason I got a PS4 at the time despite never owning a PS3 was it being $100 less at launch. Also, there's not a lot of great and proven IP on the Xbox One at the moment. The main thing that interests me there is Halo 5 and the Gears stuff. I am bummed that I never got to play Titanfall, but the next installment is going to be released on both consoles. The rare collection seemed like a cool release, but I have not heard many people talk about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only gripe I have with PSN is the actual Playstation Store. The rest of it has been great. Plus it's better hardware with better games. The user interface is way better on Xbox though.

What games on the Playstation make you believe that their library is better? I hear this a lot and just don't see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glfpunk Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Exclusive games being better on one console versus another is just an opinion. But I'll take franchises like Uncharted, Ratchet and Clank, and MLB: The Show over anything on another console and then there's other stuff that is highly regarded but that I just haven't gotten into like God of War, The Last of Us, and Little Big Planet and new stuff that's not out yet like No Man's Sky, Horizon: Zero Dawn, and The Last Guardian. It's just more robust in my opinion and more stuff I'd be inclined to get into. But don't get me wrong, I love me some Gears and I will end up with an Xbone even if that was the only game on it but I'm going to give Halo another shot too. I got disinterested in Halo with Halo 3 but I want to give it another go at some point. Crackdown sounds like a blast too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirSmUgly Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 I have both an OG XBox and a 360 and love them both dearly, so I'm not a Microsoft hater, but since XB1 and PS4 both get all third-party games, we have to go to exclusives, and I've been checked out on Gears and Halo since I beat the second iteration in each franchise. I just can't care anymore. Other than that, there's what, Sunset Overdrive? Crackdown at some point in the future? PS4 has the two inFamous games, both of which I liked, MLB The Show, LBP3, and Bloodborne. Then, there's going to be a new HSG, a new Gravity Rush, Horizon: Zero Dawn, No Man's Sky, and a bunch of JRPGs if you're into those (I'm not). It's not hard to see why people prefer the PS4 lineup of games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincey Greene Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 I see the merits in both. PS4 is getting Hot Shots Golf. There is your winner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fresh Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Proven good: Halo Halo Wars Gears Forza Crackdown Sunset Overdrive Still unknown, but looks great: Scalebound Quantum Break ReCore Sea of Thieves Cuphead I know many of those on the 2nd list are still question marks, but if just a few of those turn out well (and I think all of them look to have some merit), I don't know how anyone can say the PS4 library blows away the X-Box One's. Frankly though, many of the Playstation's big E3 announcements were very, very Japanese games. And outside of Nintendo and MGSV, there just aren't many Japanese games that strike my fancy anymore. Shenmue and a remake of an overrated Final Fantasy from 15 years ago don't get excited. Horizon and Uncharted look badass though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fresh Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 And finally, backwards compatibility and a better controller seal the deal for me. Speaking of UI, I got the X-Box One Preview program, and last night my UI changed to the new one that matches Windows 10. Love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
