Same, getting a PS4 was a dumb idea >_<
Well we will see soon enough i guess. But being silent from announcement until now is not good sign.

It's not a Torchlight clone though...
The campaign is closer to 90s era shooters, just with a different perspective. The weapon-system doesn't revolve around rare-drops, and leveling doesn't really boost stats, it just awards points for improving skills and unlocking weapon upgrades.
Sucks that it bombed, but at least the developer is sticking with it. The 1.1 patch is great.

Requires me to make an account? No thanks, got enough bloody accounts for all sorts of gaming tat now.

That's the thing I wanted TPS or FPS for the game. So the camera perspective change alone killed a lot of interest.
The only time they were down for me was the first couple of hours when it launched. Has been rock solid since, for me.

I likely will too, but I can honestly say that I wish I would have gotten my Wii U earlier.
If anyone's going to be a holdout when it comes to retaining console exclusivity, it's going to be Nintendo.
My waifu flag mod and naming nations after other waifus is clearly the height of seriousness.
Store page!
is this like Firewatch but good
So just okay?

I was sort of interested in Rime, so hearing the devs got the rights to it is nice. I just hope this doesn't imply any bad news in terms of underlying businesses decisions.

Well PS4GAF won't care for it anymore I think >_>;
The Alienware 13 that I won from the stream is giving me fits. Right out of the box it wouldn't start up right. I just put it in a box for a while cuz I had other headaches, and just got it out to try to get it working. No such luck. Why does everything, even winning something, have to be a pain in the ass?
PS3 though. Also, the only good thing about Persona is the stylish presentation. The gameplay is really basic.
hey can I have it you ungrateful bastard
I'm not ungrateful. I just wish it worked right. I'm not tech savvy in the slightest and my anxiety disorder makes it hard for me to deal with tech support people. I guess I shouldn't complain though...
This will be my motivation to finally get a PS4 as well. Persona is the one exclusive I've been interested in. If it comes to PC (Hey Falcom is doing it with Trails, you never know....
I can dream

I have it but I got it free with a video card purchase. I imagine that's how most of the 4k got it.
what? everything is fantastic about persona
honestly the two games it's killing me not being able to play are persona and mario maker
i thought bloodborne was gonna be one of those but i've been distracted with other stuff enough not to miss it too much
but yeah persona is probably gonna be the deciding factor. there's not much difference between the prices of a ps3 and a ps4 so i'll go with that i guess
mario maker, well, the wii u is complicated
I honestly was really interested in it...until I saw the review with the new gameplay. It seems just boring to play, as pointed in pretty much all reviews. The fact it was broken as hell didn't help. I still take it during a big sale, but I'm very disappointed. Didn't even know it was bundled with GPU.
Did I miss something and Firewatch just has a lukewarm reception around here?
(Hasn't finished it)

I guess a lot of people were pissed, that Firewatch is really short.

Naw, i think people were turned off by how it ended.
Haven't played it myself so i dunno if that's a reasonable thing to dislike the game over ::shrugs:;

Luckily, I ended up getting a Wii U for Mario Maker, Bayonetta 2, and Xenoblade X. I think it has been worth while. Every so often I can get a Smash game in with friends and Mario Maker is just the best thing all the time. I really enjoyed my time with Xenoblade X, but it has flaws for sure. Bayonetta 2 is great, more people should play that game. Smash is just to have because I know lots of people that will play even though I don't care. I haven't bought any DLC or anything. Mario 3D World was the pack-in and that game is also a delight. I'm happy with the purchase.
I think there is good stuff on that platform, it's just few and far between.

Gone Home also had a shitty soap opera story that people thought is great, just because a game never had a soap opera story.

Persona is a helluva thing, just a top-to-bottom fantastic series.. It's my sole reason for wanting a PS4.
The gameplay loop of fight > chat > social link > fuse personas is unbeatable.
It's hard not to like a game that so intelligently lays out its story.
It really legitimised walking simulators for me, making me see how well they can utilise pure exploration to aid their storytelling. It's impressive stuff, worthy of praise.

Let's just make this even more annoying for you zklyon. Last year had The Witcher III, Pillars, an English AssCreed, Life is Strange, GTA V finally on PC, the surprise package of TIS-100, even Rocket League but Super Mario Maker was still the game I spent more time with and enjoyed considerably more than anything else. And the vast, vast majority of that was creating dastardly levels to torture others with.
i've been talking a lot here about prefering shorter games
I havent played Firewatch, someone spoiled it for me tho and after being pissed about it I realized it does a type of ending I really don't like
I'll play it when its cheap now that I know what happens
I liked Gone Home
i really really really didn't like wii xenoblade so that's a game i don't care about
mario maker and bayonetta sound good but not good enough to drop like 550 bucks on a wii u (or whatever outrageous thing it's selling for here)
i honestly think persona 3 (specially fes) might be the perfect game, there's little about it that i can find fault in and like u say, it's got one of the greatest gameplay loops of all time
the only other gameplay loop i find as rewarding is xcom's
not really, the great thing about gone home isn't the story itself but the way you interact with it. the looking glass roots of the designers of that game are what make it great
yeah, as someone that's played with level editors all my life, that when i played with toys when i was a kid i literally made game-y rules (as in moving this toy soldier costs u this many action points) and placed legos to form UIs and then in highschool made my own board games and just thought of everything as videogames and that was super hyped for little big planet's potential but then found it to be a really mediocre game, i really think mario maker is the ideal game for me
like, what better than mario to make levels for?
it's such a genius idea
my levels would probably be pretty easy tho, probably very multilayered but easy
but yeah, i'm super broke and i need to buy some nendos
c'est la vie, i've made my own stealth game level editor, nothing will stop me

these comments about "oh wow yeah now it's multiplatform!"
tequila is a small-ass studio from Spain, and there's been reports about troubled development
them breaking the deal with Sony is a straight up dug grave
hope im wrong and said as much in the thread but lol at the devs announcing they "reaquired the rights" = ITS ON PC NOW!

Did you play on 360? I don't think I liked it enough to replay it for all achievements on Steam if the list is identical. I'd probably just grab it during a sale and then SAM the stuff as a sync.
Yeah, that's exactly why they won't care anymore. Just cause it's not exclusive.
Hmmm, maybe some of the more tech savvy people here could help you out. I'd be happy to try, but can't promise I know enough about an Alienware 13 to help out... but I'm sure a lot of people in here have basic working knowledge of PC troubleshooting so it's possible someone could help if we knew the symptoms it was showing while not working right.
Lukewarm is putting it nicely.
Pretty much.
Reading the thread in gaming, I find it pretty interesting that most people seem to assume option b.
This actually brings to mind the desperately toxic relationship that Jessica Curry wrote about in regards to Everybody's Gone to the Rapture, and I have to wonder if there's something else going on at Sony's end.
Yup, loved it on 360.

I am going to make it through this year if it kills me
Firewatch was awesome.
It seems to be a problem with the Nvidia drivers on start up. I get a message that the computer has to restart because of SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION nvlddmkm.sys. After a few restarts it runs the automatic repair tool and usually it will start after that. I updated all my drivers but that didn't fix it.

I loved Gone Home =/
It'll be this year's indie Bioshock Infinite/Arkham Knight. A hyped and well received game that people turn on.
FWIW I like AK and Infinite, but I was very disappointed with Firewatch.

I loved throwing items in gone home and making a mess in the house. If I was looking for clues i'd do the same thing.

i liked the twist about your dad having been molested by the former owner of the house and that's why he keeps writing time travel novels about going back in time to save JFK.
I didn't expect that from the game
the game never explicitly states this and it's mostly inferred so meh.
game is several years old now, when will the spoilies alert not be necessary?

Yeah, that's like, the biggest spoiler about the game's plot.
That's no excuse. Spoiler tag that.
