Can't believe no one has mentioned warframe ! Guys this game is a ton of fun coop ! Everything can be upgraded and the warframes you can get are insane lol. Anyway that's been my most played game this weekend.. that and my wife and I finally beat act 3 of diablo last night.
This game totally missed my radar.. just wondering if it's worth hooking back up my 360 for? Actually.. with destiny coming I don't know it would have to be something pretty special lol
So yeah this weekend for me will most likely be used to finish off the second campaign in the metro redux bundle, which I have loved every minute of by the way. But that being said, the game I really WANT to be playing is warframe on xbox one. I've been watching gamer score guru, stallion83 playing it on twitch for the last few days and it looks so damn fun to play coop. The problem is every time I play it, it's in solo missions and it just isn't the same.... so anyone who would want to form a little clan, I think it's upto teams of 4, send me a reply on this article or just add me to xbox my gamer tag is mitcHELLspawn . So yeah I'm only like level 4 so the newer you are to the game the better! Hope to hear from you guys.
Haha sweet. Man I hate this "exclusive content" on certain games. On both sides, obviously not just Sony because Microsoft are guilty as well. I understand the need for exclusive games and think they're great in a lot of instances but taking multiplatform games and stealing content away that would have otherwise been included is just so wrong on so many levels.
@Gamer83 sorry I just totally disagree with a lot of what you said. You say we should be entitled because we pay 400 for a new console? Let me try to put this in perspective for you... we are paying less money for our next gen consoles right now than we paid for consoles in the 90s and that's not even taking inflation into account. That right there is amazing value. We essentially get a mid range to high end pc in the xbox one that is an absolutely incredible all in one machine. For anyone who enjoys all forms of media, the Xbox one is the perfect thing to tie everything together.
Next, let's analyze the free game system we currently have with xbox. Xbox owners have always paid for gold membership to play online, it was 60 bucks a year and if you were someone who enjoys multiplayer then it has been worth every penny due to the fact that is was light years ahead of psn for a long long time. Then, for no reason other than to show some love to the fans did they start giving us 2 games (sometimes great sometimes less great depending on your tastes) every month to keep.. once the Xbox released and was running for a while they ramped it up to be even more amazing value, offering 2 or 1 new games for free on xb1 as well. The value there is undeniably great. Not only that, for people who don't need or want those features, they removed pay walls for the apps.
I guess what I'm trying to convey here is just that no, Microsoft or Sony don't owe us anything other than giving us a great console and making amazing games for it.. but they've gone above and beyond for the fans and a very loud minority just seem to feel like nothing is ever good enough. Case & point major Nelsons blog when he gives us the deals with gold every week... without fail there's tons of commenters complaining about how terrible it is.. when in reality the fact that there's like usually at least 10 games on sale for us every single week and they try to cater to everyone's tastes.
Also yeah I frequent majornelsons blog quite often.. but man does it depress me. On the Xbox weekly sales articles especially.. he announces what's on sale every week and every week it's the same comments... nothing is EVER good enough for people. Never mind the fact that they actually give us huge sales like this EVERY week. Because what they specifically wanted isn't for sale then Microsoft sucks and Xbox is terrible. It's exhausting.
Oh my god. You just totally took what has been brewing in my mind for months upon months and just put it all in to perfect words.
I am so sick and tired of reading the comments on gaming sites from entitled little brats that think these companies actually owe us anything. I am so unbelievably happy with my gold membership and my ps+ membership. Sometimes it actually blows me away how they can give so much to us. Like you said gold didn't change its price once it started offering 2 games free to keep a month! And now we even get one or two xbox one games. It's awesome. . And it gives me a chance to play games that I normally wouldn't get to.
I am so sick of seeing people just constantly bash xbox and Sony. Though a lot more so xbox these days. It's like it's cool to hate on Xbox. I am fully aware that they made some pretty terrible decisions early on, but man since they admitted their mistakes, they have come down a whole lot of levels to where the fans are and they have been listening and delivering things for us nonstop. The Xbox one I have now barely resembles the Xbox one I had that day one purchase in November I made. It has so many extra features and has a great game line up for us.
I guess what I'm just really trying to say is I agree 100% with everything you say and I will most definitely be sharing the crap out of this article.
I love my ps4 I love my Xbox one and my ps3 and my 360 and my wii. .. and one day soon I may even love a wiiu if I end up buying one!
I really hope we end up seeing a big uptick in xbox one sales in sept/Oct/Nov with these new markets and the great exclusives on the way. I want to see ps4 and Xbox one neck & neck in the race... great competition is what drives great deals for consumers
@Emanouel ohhh ok yes I know now. Yeah thanks for all the gifts it was great. I don't know how to give gifts like that yet.. the odd time I'll find an item named "gift for" and then a Gamertag but I don't know how to gift specific items to people
@Emanouel oh shoot really ! I didn't know gems count towards your item limit! That explains it then because I have way too many of them that I won't be using. Awesome. So yeah I've added so many people recently I'm not sure what Gamertag is yours? I have 2 characters.. a monk at 24 and a wizard at 45 I believe and I haven't finished act 2 yet I'm very close though. I usually play with one of my good friends but It would be great to get a third player.
As for metro yeah if you've never played them like me they really are a great collection to pick up. Can't wait to start last light tonight.. and ya can't beat that 2000GS haha
@DRL I totally agree! I hate that the inventory is only 60. It drives me crazy and I don't even know where all of that 60 goes to be honest lol I'll look through my gear and see barely anything yet my pack will be full. It's so annoying having to stop and go through your stuff every room just so you can pick up stuff in the next part. And I'm ocd so I have to pick up everything just in case it's something awesome I don't want to miss out lol... so tell me how many hours did it take you to beat the game? I've put in easily 20 hours now and I'm just at t he end of act 2. I'm playing the whole thing coop with a friend so we kind of have to pick and choose when to play. I don't find the game as much fun when you're playing alone.
@DRL haha yeah man I actually played 2033 on the normal mode and I was never once in need of anything I didn't have. Maybe it's my style of play but yeah I had no problem with resources at all. I'm really blown away looking at the original and this side by side. They really did a lot of work.
@DRL oh man you know what from everything I've seen of the original metro 2033 it was much more of an atmospheric jumpy game than the redux.. the redux is so much more well lit so it's not so creepy, and you can change the settings to make it more survival horror or go spartan which makes it more like a wolfenstein the new order shooter. The story is great, the remastered graphics are incredible for a 2010 game I can't believe just how good.. but yeah resource management isn't even a worry if you play spartan so no worries there. It's got great weapons and customization as well. In my opinion it's an all around awesome shooter. I'm yet to play last light so I can't give any details on that yet but I hear it's also quite good. Very well worth supporting the devs for this one they did an outstanding job and it's a great price as well 50 bucks for 2 full games plus all dlc. I say get it for sure lol
I'm loving metro redux !! This is the first time I've ever played the metro series and I'm super glad that I've waited this long because the redux is just great. I'm very close to beating 2033 and will be jumping straight into last light when I finish. I've also fallen in love with diablo. I think it's just great.. but I don't seem to like to play alone so I've been only jumping into that game when my friend is able to play. We're almost through act 2 and my guy is level 44 already it's great.
You're not kidding about diablo taking up free time lol... my friend and I set up our xbox ones in my man cave today me on my 75 inch samsung Smartt tv and him on my other samsung 40 inch TV and we just played for like 7 hours straight haha.. I haven't been this hooked on a game in a long time.
I bought metro redux today but still haven't even opened it because we're too into diablo. Oh I did try the nhl 15 demo today though before starting in diablo and I was pretty impressed. Definitely gonna grab that on Sept 9
@Emanouel yeah I'm definitely picking up the halo MC edition as well. @DRL ohh yah I've actually got pretty high hype for this! I'm really up for a good single player first person shooter. I loved wolfenstein. I like how the first game of this series is more on the side of survival with limited ammo and stealth approaches and then the second has lots of action, I feel like I'm getting 2 games with 2 different play styles both of which I really enjoy.
Here's to hoping that the metro redux comes with 2000 gamer score ! 1000 per game. That would be sweet !
@Emanouel yeah I was interested in the series as well, and I even picked up the second game (last light) but didn't play it longer than a half hour because I had so many games going at that time.. so now that they've done so much work to them I'm really excited to jump in... they're really setting a standard on how remastered versions should be handled.. they've done so much more work than say the tomb raider or last of us remaster...
And I also want to see them do well on this.. they've had a really rough go as a studio because they were based in the Ukraine so it's been pretty difficult for them to run a studio.. but I just read that they've moved and are excited to start working on new games.
@Emanouel haha you took the words right outta my mouth. Picked up Diablo on Tuesday. . This is the first time I've ever played a Diablo game in my life.. I'm really enjoying it actually. My wife and I have been running through it coop which has been sweet. We just finished the second act.... and as for this Tuesday I can't freaking wait to grab metro redux especially because I've never played them so it will be like a brand new experience for me. Loving it... the games are just gonna start rolling out now and not letting up for months haha.. excited like a child.
You know what? I am so sick of everyone pointing the finger at Microsoft when Sony practically invented this business practice all the way back to the days of the ps1 and onward.. paying 3rd party publishers to keep games off of dreamcast, xbox and 360. Metal gear solid, grand theft auto countless games of EA franchises etc.. it really sucks for people who own a ps4 and want to play the game.. but guess what that's the nature of console gaming.. if you want to play it all like me for instance you would own all the consoles.
Xbox killed it at gamescom, nuff said. Haven't gotten to see Sonys yet stuck on night shift.. soon as I'm home I'll be throwing it on though. Hope it's just as good!! Man it's a good time to be a gamer
This weekend for me is going to be me really trying to get into sniper elite 2 on Xbox one.. I played it for about a half hour and haven't gone back to it since but I feel like I haven't given it a fair shake so I'm going to try again today... If that doesn't work out, I'm thinking on buying some dead rising 3 dlc since I beat the game and haven't gone back into it. I just hope it's worth the money !
@WINGNUT I sure hope so! I really want to see a big surge in people adopting the Xbox one ! I know they made some dumb moves in the early going but the next year looks unbelievably promising for Xbox one.. not to mention how great they've been updating the console thus far.
Ohh yeah I fully agree what you mean it not being a twitch shooter it's not as important.. I actually didn't ever really care what fps games were in or resolution to be honest, I just love games.. but seeing at how fluid the 60 fps can make the game feel I'm definitely a believer now.. but that being said if games come out on Xbox one or ps4 that aren't 1080p or 60 fps I really don't care especially if it's a game I'm excited about. But yeah when buying a game for the second time you would hope the remastered version would look extremely better especially since they didn't change any game play... and for the most part I think they did a good job.. obviously like you said it could always be better. I'm sure the next uncharted game is going to look insane.
@heyzeus002 I'm not trying to be a dick here man I'm just saying.. seriously do what I said next time you play. I literally couldn't play it locked at 30 after playing on 60 now. It runs so much smoother. Not only that the textures are definitely ramped up quite a bit and Joel especially looks much better. I've been having a lot of fun with the photo mode, I've gotten some pretty awesome pictures, it's great having all those tools to play with.
Sorry.. gaming media? Are you for real? Lol... I don't need anyone to tell me anything, it's staring me right in the face. For the love of god dude go play your game right now for a bit then goto options and switch it to lock at 30 fps... If you honestly tell me you don't see a massive change, you most definitely need glasses.
@heyzeus002 wow.. you really either have terrible eye sight or have no idea what you're talking about. Play it on 60 fps and then go into the menu and switch it to lock at 30 fps... if you can't see an absolute HUGE difference there is something wrong. As for this interview you're talking about do u have any link? Because everything I've seen from naughty dog is them praising how much better this version looks compared to ps3. Lol I can't believe you said that 60 fps doesn't make a difference on this type of game. Mind blown.
@DRL yeah I agree, I haven't been too impressed with Sonys first party releases thus far. I am glad I bought a ps4 when I did though because I live in Canada and they put the price up to 450 recently so I saved 50 bucks. I had a little fun with kill zone, and I enjoyed infamous but besides that all I've really used my ps4 for is the free indie games I've been getting every month through ps+.. but yeah I'm really glad I bought tlou again because I've been having a really great time playing it and can't wait to play left behind dlc
@DRL have you played it on ps3? It really is an amazing experience. My Xbox 360 and Xbox one are my goto consoles that I play all my multiplatform games on, but I've had every Playstation since the original and I really love them as well. I could never not own one because I just love the Playstation exclusives too much.
I'm so mad that I purchased this digitally. Given the choice I will always buy physical. Biggest reason of all for me personally is that I'm a collector, I have an entire wall turned into a shelving unit filled with my DVD, bluray and game collection.. and man is it massive. Lol
@Emanouel yeah dead rising 3 was pretty good I must say. It took me a while to actually get into it but once I did, I had a blast. I don't know if is better than infamous second son though.
So yeah I'm just about to beat the last of us remastered. I beat the game when it first came out on ps3 and then didn't touch it again because it was such an amazing experience and I knew it wouldn't be the same the second time around... but now that it's been about a year since then, playing it again has been just as enjoyable. I'm also very excited to play the left behind dlc once I'm done.
After that I'll be finally finishing some games I've left unbeaten like wolfenstein, murdered soul suspect and finally valiant hearts... once that's all finished I'll download this month's 2 free games that I've yet to try ! Love having so much games to play!! Hope I'm all finished by the time Diablo comes out on the 19th though. I've never played a Diablo game before so I'm pretty excited to check it out.
@heyzeus002 are you serious? What kind of tv are you playing the last of us remastered if you don't mind me asking? I'm playing it on my 75 inch samsung smart TV, and I've gotta say it's a huge difference. The 60 fps made the biggest difference for me. It looks absolutely gorgeous.. which is crazy because the ps3 version was beautiful as well.
I'm super excited to see if remedy is finally going to peel back that curtain and let us get a good look at quantum break. I'm really pumped for that game.
I'm very glad to be honest. It sucks because a lot of my friends still haven't upgraded to the Xbox one but if they keep offering cross platform play and keep developing games for the old systems people aren't going to make the jump to next gen...
I wish developers would either stop supporting the last Gen or do like several studios are doing now and have a different studio develop the last Gen version so they can use the new systems to their full potential.
I've been playing the beta on my ps4 for a few days now and I've gotta say, the game is pretty incredible ! I can't believe just how large of a scale this game is made on. Just the beta alone is massive and its only a small sliver of the actual game. The graphics are great, attention to detail is beautiful, class systems are well fleshed out and realized, it all just comes together beautifully...
I will most definitely be grabbing this day one on my Xbox one as long as they hit 1080p natively like they say they are going to be able to!
Finally.. It really sucks to see barely any comments or discussion on this websites articles :/ I'm a big fan of push square, the Playstation version of your guys site and there's always great, friendly discussion Goin on over there. Come on people let's make this site just as great !!
@fxtricky I couldn't get through one single comment you posted.
anyway yeah most definitely I wish they would start focusing on the new gen machines. it sucks getting these downgraded games when we thought we were getting something totally different. But like what was mentioned before I think it's a perfect compromise to have a seperate team working on the last gen version so that the new game doesn't have to be held back! Great Poll.
@Generik those 9 versions you speak of come with exclusive content but it's nothing special, just certain outfits or weapons. then there's the hour gameplay that's exclusive to Sony. I think you shouldn't pass up getting this game at launch just because of those things. This game is going to be very much worth getting day one. It's been in development for over 5 years and is absolutely jam packed with content. I'm quite sure silly exclusive outfits or hacking perks aren't going to take away from this experience.
Are graphics more important than gameplay? absolutely not. Do I care if the game is 1080p natively ? again, absolutely not.. BUT I own both the ps4 and the xbox one... and when I see multiplat games performing better on the ps4 for the exact same price, I can't ignore that. I tried to ignore it at first but I can't keep buying my multiplatform games on the xbox when it isn't as good.
@ThatGallantGent yeah but it's not just graphics that are different on the 360 version. it's not the same game as the next gen counterpart. The next gen version is the one to buy.
Pretty mad to see another game beaten by ps4 in resolution. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna have to get this one for ps4.. since they also have exclusive missions. it sucks so bad because I really wanted my Xbox to be the console that I play multiplatform games on but I just can't justify it anymore.
I've got to say it's extremely disappointing to me to see yet another game falling short of full HD on the console I love. Especially with a game like this one, that isn't considered exactly graphically demanding... I truly hope that all of this is just a result of the developers needing time with the console to learn how to better develop for it as it's more complicated than the ps4. I'm really hoping to see watch dogs resolution on par with the ps4 version..
Its funny.. because I've bought a lot of games in the last month and a half or so.. All new games such as south park, titanfall, dark souls 2, infamous second son, castlevania los2, metal gear ground zeroes. Yes I literally bought everyone of those... but the game that's consuming all of my time right now is dragon age 2. I started playing it just for something to do one day and haven't been able to put it down. Just started the second act and I'm loving it.
I totally agree that phil is an awesome fit for captain of the ship of my favorite gaming platform going forward. I think he's going to kill it in the months and years to come. I've always thought he was the one with the best ideas and focus on gaming first. He's super smart and passionate about gaming and it seems like Microsofts new CEO is on board with growing the xbox brand and integrating it closely with Microsoft, giving them the same resources as their other services. The one thing I don't agree with in this article is the way in which you bashed xbox during its hard months back when xbox one was first revealed. Admittedly they didn't do a great job with the messaging and getting across what the xbox one was all about, but I don't think they ever lost sight of the fact that this was a gaming machine first everything else second. Look at e3 last year.. The entire show was focused on gaming. Not only that they revealed they spent over a billion dollars on game franchises new and old just for the beginning of the xbox one life cycle. They definitely messed up the initial reveal by not explaining why they were showing all the other features first but other than that I've always been on board with the message. It's 2014.. a gaming console can do much more than just gaming so why not show off those things? Anyway.. I'm just glad a guy who really cares about the core gamer has taken the reigns. I think we're going to see the xbox brand become what we all know its been capable of.
Loved their e3 presentation last year it was just nonstop games. Hope they show some more on sunset overdrive and quantum break. Xbox one just keeps getting better.
So I just finished the main story mission.. it took me 70 minutes to complete and I got a B ranking. Plenty of room for improvement to get it upto a S ranking.. There is now 4 side ops for me to play as well. I'm about to start them now, so I don't know if the 30 dollar price tag is worth it but I do know the graphics s and gameplay is incredible

Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - The 25th Issue
@DRL haha yeah man I actually played 2033 on the normal mode and I was never once in need of anything I didn't have. Maybe it's my style of play but yeah I had no problem with resources at all. I'm really blown away looking at the original and this side by side. They really did a lot of work.
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - The 25th Issue

The story is great, the remastered graphics are incredible for a 2010 game I can't believe just how good.. but yeah resource management isn't even a worry if you play spartan so no worries there. It's got great weapons and customization as well. In my opinion it's an all around awesome shooter.
I'm yet to play last light so I can't give any details on that yet but I hear it's also quite good. Very well worth supporting the devs for this one they did an outstanding job and it's a great price as well 50 bucks for 2 full games plus all dlc. I say get it for sure lol
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - The 25th Issue
I'm loving metro redux !! This is the first time I've ever played the metro series and I'm super glad that I've waited this long because the redux is just great. I'm very close to beating 2033 and will be jumping straight into last light when I finish. I've also fallen in love with diablo. I think it's just great.. but I don't seem to like to play alone so I've been only jumping into that game when my friend is able to play. We're almost through act 2 and my guy is level 44 already it's great.
Re: Deals With Gold and Xbox Binge Watch & Play Sale Combine for a Massive List of Savings
You're not kidding about diablo taking up free time lol... my friend and I set up our xbox ones in my man cave today me on my 75 inch samsung Smartt tv and him on my other samsung 40 inch TV and we just played for like 7 hours straight haha.. I haven't been this hooked on a game in a long time.
I bought metro redux today but still haven't even opened it because we're too into diablo. Oh I did try the nhl 15 demo today though before starting in diablo and I was pretty impressed. Definitely gonna grab that on Sept 9
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Twenty Four
@Emanouel sure thing man always happy to add new friends to play with ! My Gamertag is mitcHELLspawn add me up anytime !
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Twenty Four
@Emanouel yeah I'm definitely picking up the halo MC edition as well.
@DRL ohh yah I've actually got pretty high hype for this! I'm really up for a good single player first person shooter. I loved wolfenstein. I like how the first game of this series is more on the side of survival with limited ammo and stealth approaches and then the second has lots of action, I feel like I'm getting 2 games with 2 different play styles both of which I really enjoy.
Here's to hoping that the metro redux comes with 2000 gamer score ! 1000 per game. That would be sweet !
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Twenty Four
@Emanouel yeah I was interested in the series as well, and I even picked up the second game (last light) but didn't play it longer than a half hour because I had so many games going at that time.. so now that they've done so much work to them I'm really excited to jump in... they're really setting a standard on how remastered versions should be handled.. they've done so much more work than say the tomb raider or last of us remaster...
And I also want to see them do well on this.. they've had a really rough go as a studio because they were based in the Ukraine so it's been pretty difficult for them to run a studio.. but I just read that they've moved and are excited to start working on new games.
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Twenty Four
@Emanouel haha you took the words right outta my mouth. Picked up Diablo on Tuesday. . This is the first time I've ever played a Diablo game in my life.. I'm really enjoying it actually. My wife and I have been running through it coop which has been sweet. We just finished the second act.... and as for this Tuesday I can't freaking wait to grab metro redux especially because I've never played them so it will be like a brand new experience for me. Loving it... the games are just gonna start rolling out now and not letting up for months haha.. excited like a child.
Re: Spencer: Tomb Raider Deal Didn't Come From An Evil Space
You know what? I am so sick of everyone pointing the finger at Microsoft when Sony practically invented this business practice all the way back to the days of the ps1 and onward.. paying 3rd party publishers to keep games off of dreamcast, xbox and 360. Metal gear solid, grand theft auto countless games of EA franchises etc.. it really sucks for people who own a ps4 and want to play the game.. but guess what that's the nature of console gaming.. if you want to play it all like me for instance you would own all the consoles.
Re: Gamescom 2014: DayZ Probably Isn't Exclusive to PS4
I really hope so! I'd much rather play it with my friends on my Xbox one. Don't have many friends to play with on my ps4.
Re: Poll: What Did You Think of the Microsoft Gamescom 2014 Press Conference?
Xbox killed it at gamescom, nuff said. Haven't gotten to see Sonys yet stuck on night shift.. soon as I'm home I'll be throwing it on though. Hope it's just as good!! Man it's a good time to be a gamer
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Twenty Two
This weekend for me is going to be me really trying to get into sniper elite 2 on Xbox one.. I played it for about a half hour and haven't gone back to it since but I feel like I haven't given it a fair shake so I'm going to try again today... If that doesn't work out, I'm thinking on buying some dead rising 3 dlc since I beat the game and haven't gone back into it. I just hope it's worth the money !
Re: Weirdness: New Xbox Ad Spot Marries Xbox One With Rocky
@WINGNUT for sure! Dying to see that quantum break reveal!
Re: Weirdness: New Xbox Ad Spot Marries Xbox One With Rocky
@WINGNUT I sure hope so! I really want to see a big surge in people adopting the Xbox one ! I know they made some dumb moves in the early going but the next year looks unbelievably promising for Xbox one.. not to mention how great they've been updating the console thus far.
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Twenty One
Ohh yeah I fully agree what you mean it not being a twitch shooter it's not as important.. I actually didn't ever really care what fps games were in or resolution to be honest, I just love games.. but seeing at how fluid the 60 fps can make the game feel I'm definitely a believer now.. but that being said if games come out on Xbox one or ps4 that aren't 1080p or 60 fps I really don't care especially if it's a game I'm excited about. But yeah when buying a game for the second time you would hope the remastered version would look extremely better especially since they didn't change any game play... and for the most part I think they did a good job.. obviously like you said it could always be better. I'm sure the next uncharted game is going to look insane.
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Twenty One
@heyzeus002 I'm not trying to be a dick here man I'm just saying.. seriously do what I said next time you play. I literally couldn't play it locked at 30 after playing on 60 now. It runs so much smoother. Not only that the textures are definitely ramped up quite a bit and Joel especially looks much better. I've been having a lot of fun with the photo mode, I've gotten some pretty awesome pictures, it's great having all those tools to play with.
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Twenty One
Sorry.. gaming media? Are you for real? Lol... I don't need anyone to tell me anything, it's staring me right in the face. For the love of god dude go play your game right now for a bit then goto options and switch it to lock at 30 fps... If you honestly tell me you don't see a massive change, you most definitely need glasses.
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Twenty One
@heyzeus002 wow.. you really either have terrible eye sight or have no idea what you're talking about. Play it on 60 fps and then go into the menu and switch it to lock at 30 fps... if you can't see an absolute HUGE difference there is something wrong. As for this interview you're talking about do u have any link? Because everything I've seen from naughty dog is them praising how much better this version looks compared to ps3. Lol I can't believe you said that 60 fps doesn't make a difference on this type of game. Mind blown.
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Twenty One
@DRL yeah I agree, I haven't been too impressed with Sonys first party releases thus far. I am glad I bought a ps4 when I did though because I live in Canada and they put the price up to 450 recently so I saved 50 bucks. I had a little fun with kill zone, and I enjoyed infamous but besides that all I've really used my ps4 for is the free indie games I've been getting every month through ps+.. but yeah I'm really glad I bought tlou again because I've been having a really great time playing it and can't wait to play left behind dlc
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Twenty One
@DRL have you played it on ps3? It really is an amazing experience. My Xbox 360 and Xbox one are my goto consoles that I play all my multiplatform games on, but I've had every Playstation since the original and I really love them as well. I could never not own one because I just love the Playstation exclusives too much.
Re: Killer Instinct Will Be Hitting Retail Shelves This Fall
I'm so mad that I purchased this digitally. Given the choice I will always buy physical. Biggest reason of all for me personally is that I'm a collector, I have an entire wall turned into a shelving unit filled with my DVD, bluray and game collection.. and man is it massive. Lol
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Twenty One
@Emanouel yeah dead rising 3 was pretty good I must say. It took me a while to actually get into it but once I did, I had a blast. I don't know if is better than infamous second son though.
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Twenty One
So yeah I'm just about to beat the last of us remastered. I beat the game when it first came out on ps3 and then didn't touch it again because it was such an amazing experience and I knew it wouldn't be the same the second time around... but now that it's been about a year since then, playing it again has been just as enjoyable. I'm also very excited to play the left behind dlc once I'm done.
After that I'll be finally finishing some games I've left unbeaten like wolfenstein, murdered soul suspect and finally valiant hearts... once that's all finished I'll download this month's 2 free games that I've yet to try ! Love having so much games to play!! Hope I'm all finished by the time Diablo comes out on the 19th though. I've never played a Diablo game before so I'm pretty excited to check it out.
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Twenty One
@heyzeus002 are you serious? What kind of tv are you playing the last of us remastered if you don't mind me asking? I'm playing it on my 75 inch samsung smart TV, and I've gotta say it's a huge difference. The 60 fps made the biggest difference for me. It looks absolutely gorgeous.. which is crazy because the ps3 version was beautiful as well.
Re: Microsoft Teases Call Of Duty Exclusive and More for Gamescom
I'm super excited to see if remedy is finally going to peel back that curtain and let us get a good look at quantum break. I'm really pumped for that game.
Re: No, Destiny Won't Support Cross-Generation Play
I'm very glad to be honest. It sucks because a lot of my friends still haven't upgraded to the Xbox one but if they keep offering cross platform play and keep developing games for the old systems people aren't going to make the jump to next gen...
I wish developers would either stop supporting the last Gen or do like several studios are doing now and have a different studio develop the last Gen version so they can use the new systems to their full potential.
I've been playing the beta on my ps4 for a few days now and I've gotta say, the game is pretty incredible ! I can't believe just how large of a scale this game is made on. Just the beta alone is massive and its only a small sliver of the actual game. The graphics are great, attention to detail is beautiful, class systems are well fleshed out and realized, it all just comes together beautifully...
I will most definitely be grabbing this day one on my Xbox one as long as they hit 1080p natively like they say they are going to be able to!
Finally.. It really sucks to see barely any comments or discussion on this websites articles :/ I'm a big fan of push square, the Playstation version of your guys site and there's always great, friendly discussion Goin on over there. Come on people let's make this site just as great !!
Re: Poll: Do You Think Developers Should Make a Choice and Stop Focusing on Cross-Generational Games?
@fxtricky I couldn't get through one single comment you posted.
anyway yeah most definitely I wish they would start focusing on the new gen machines. it sucks getting these downgraded games when we thought we were getting something totally different. But like what was mentioned before I think it's a perfect compromise to have a seperate team working on the last gen version so that the new game doesn't have to be held back! Great Poll.
Re: Rumour: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Collection Spotted for Xbox One, PS4
sort of weird that the ps4 version is in front.. xbox has renewed their contract with cod.
Re: Poll: Is Graphical Fidelity More Important Than Gameplay?
@Generik those 9 versions you speak of come with exclusive content but it's nothing special, just certain outfits or weapons. then there's the hour gameplay that's exclusive to Sony. I think you shouldn't pass up getting this game at launch just because of those things. This game is going to be very much worth getting day one. It's been in development for over 5 years and is absolutely jam packed with content. I'm quite sure silly exclusive outfits or hacking perks aren't going to take away from this experience.
Re: Poll: Is Graphical Fidelity More Important Than Gameplay?
Are graphics more important than gameplay? absolutely not. Do I care if the game is 1080p natively ? again, absolutely not.. BUT I own both the ps4 and the xbox one... and when I see multiplat games performing better on the ps4 for the exact same price, I can't ignore that. I tried to ignore it at first but I can't keep buying my multiplatform games on the xbox when it isn't as good.
Re: Poll: Is Graphical Fidelity More Important Than Gameplay?
@ThatGallantGent yeah but it's not just graphics that are different on the 360 version. it's not the same game as the next gen counterpart. The next gen version is the one to buy.
Re: Watch Dogs Visual Numerics Confirmed
Pretty mad to see another game beaten by ps4 in resolution. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna have to get this one for ps4.. since they also have exclusive missions. it sucks so bad because I really wanted my Xbox to be the console that I play multiplatform games on but I just can't justify it anymore.
Re: Trials Fusion Receives Day-One Patch
I've got to say it's extremely disappointing to me to see yet another game falling short of full HD on the console I love. Especially with a game like this one, that isn't considered exactly graphically demanding... I truly hope that all of this is just a result of the developers needing time with the console to learn how to better develop for it as it's more complicated than the ps4. I'm really hoping to see watch dogs resolution on par with the ps4 version..
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Ten
Its funny.. because I've bought a lot of games in the last month and a half or so.. All new games such as south park, titanfall, dark souls 2, infamous second son, castlevania los2, metal gear ground zeroes. Yes I literally bought everyone of those... but the game that's consuming all of my time right now is dragon age 2. I started playing it just for something to do one day and haven't been able to put it down. Just started the second act and I'm loving it.
Re: Feature: Three Reasons Why Phil Spencer Is Just What the Xbox Brand Needs
I totally agree that phil is an awesome fit for captain of the ship of my favorite gaming platform going forward. I think he's going to kill it in the months and years to come. I've always thought he was the one with the best ideas and focus on gaming first. He's super smart and passionate about gaming and it seems like Microsofts new CEO is on board with growing the xbox brand and integrating it closely with Microsoft, giving them the same resources as their other services. The one thing I don't agree with in this article is the way in which you bashed xbox during its hard months back when xbox one was first revealed. Admittedly they didn't do a great job with the messaging and getting across what the xbox one was all about, but I don't think they ever lost sight of the fact that this was a gaming machine first everything else second. Look at e3 last year.. The entire show was focused on gaming. Not only that they revealed they spent over a billion dollars on game franchises new and old just for the beginning of the xbox one life cycle. They definitely messed up the initial reveal by not explaining why they were showing all the other features first but other than that I've always been on board with the message. It's 2014.. a gaming console can do much more than just gaming so why not show off those things? Anyway.. I'm just glad a guy who really cares about the core gamer has taken the reigns. I think we're going to see the xbox brand become what we all know its been capable of.
Re: Microsoft Promises Game-Focused Presentation at E3 2014
Loved their e3 presentation last year it was just nonstop games. Hope they show some more on sunset overdrive and quantum break. Xbox one just keeps getting better.
Re: Out This Week: March 18th (North America)
So I just finished the main story mission.. it took me 70 minutes to complete and I got a B ranking. Plenty of room for improvement to get it upto a S ranking.. There is now 4 side ops for me to play as well. I'm about to start them now, so I don't know if the 30 dollar price tag is worth it but I do know the graphics s and gameplay is incredible
