God, this game is entertaining. I'm playing in hard, and stuff has started exploding when I as much as sneeze in their general direction. That's everything I want from a game, really.

I was surprised at how quickly I had to jump up to Expert difficulty--or, rather, how quickly I felt comfortable going up to Expert difficulty. And as a result my Wizard is leveling so quickly and it's awesome.

Yeah same here. Never really played Diablo 3 before. I'm on Act V and just went Torment I. Wizard too. That mana pool drains alot. Dunno if I want to go Torment II before Adventure mode...

SSX is easily one of my favorite series. OlliOlli looks a little like 2d SSX. Does it play that way, because if so I'm in.

They look to come up too high and the nubs themselves look swollen. That's just my personal preference tho. I like the slimmer and low profile of the regular nubs.

I'm in this boat too. I modded one of my controllers w/ XBone sticks, and I feel like I'm playing with poles lined with sandpaper. The control is nice, but I think I'm probably going to swap 'em back.

I'd say not really. When you look at Olli Olli you think. Ooh, it looks like canabalt with tricks! How fun. It's actually quite challenging though. You have to press X to land, and if your timing is bad or you forget, it's a sloppy landing (or worse) which can kill your speed or leave you unable to jump out of an obstacle's way in time and fudge the level. Every movement (jump, trick, land, grind, type of grind, spin, etc) is a button press so it becomes this quick-fire barrage of "Left Stick windup, twist, X at the right time, kick, kick, left stick windup, twist, downtick, stick left+R1 for a grind, left stick windup, jump off railing, press X at right time to perfect land," etc...

It's fun, but it can get a little technical. :)

Actually that sounds exactly like ssx to me. Trying to to get plat tier in the most recent ssx took a ton of technical skill.

I guess so. However SSX at it's base was a much chiller, easier game. You just couldn't top the leaderboard that way. With Olli Olli, you can't go 10 feet without getting this technical rhythm down. :)

Yeah I see what you mean. The technical stuff and trying to get the best scores possible is what I really loved about SSX though so that sounds like an endorsement to me!

Oh do not get me wrong. I was not slighting the game (Olli Olli). I loving love it. It's punishing, but in that good way where you just try once more... once more... once more. (Instant reload is a god-send.)

I will say it was hard with my big hands on Vita. But playing on DS4 has been amazing.

Highly endorsed. Just know what you're getting into. :)

Just curious, does anyone know if the PS4 acts weird about trophies if you're offline? E.G., on 360, any achievements that popped while you were offline wouldn't get a time stamp. Since the PS4 still has to sync anyway I wasn't sure if it had any issues like that.

My brother just got a ps4 we were planning on putting our profiles on each other consoles and share the games we buy can we do that ? I know ps3 had a limit of 3 systems I think also can I disable it later in case systems break or we buy new ones ?

Yes, but his console has to be your primary, and your console has to be his primary.

To access your games on your console, you need to be online. He needs to be online to access his games on his console. But since your console is his primary, you can access his games at all times, and vice versa.

Worth mentioning that this will mess up some things like vita remote play and a few others.

How is Madden 15? I don't follow football. I always enjoy the idea and strategy behind it. It's not that big over here in the UK. The last Madden I played was on the Genisis (Megadrive). Does the tutorial actually explain the rules of American football?

Red Faction's IP got sold off to a different company, so Volition can't do anything with it anymore sadly.

I would love a new Saints Row, but would also love a new IP from them.

2 was probably the best "game" of the series, but 3 and 4 are amazing for coop sandbox mayhem.

Regardless, I do hope it's Saints Row game.

Didn't they pull a switcheroo at E3, where it was all purple and it ends up being Dead Island 2?
