I played SR3 because it was free on PS+ and I enjoyed it enough to finish it, but the wackiness seemed very forced at times. The whole LOL BIG PURPLE DILDO LOL attitude is some Duke Nukem Forever level comedy. I've read 4 has a mission that 'parodies' Metal Gear Solid by having you sneak around in a cardboard box. That's not parody, that's just doing a thing Metal Gear does. It's a [genre] Movie parody (i.e. a reference). The dubstep gun was lame too, it was much funnier when Ratchet and Clank did the same joke in 2007. Not to say the game didn't have good parts, I loved the character customization and being able to play as a fat goth Hispanic lady.

Neo Rasa posted:Red Faction Guerilla was a nice in between for me but then THQ decided to take a critically acclaimed game about a huge open environment where you can destroy gigantic buildings on a whim and set its sequel in a cave Red faction was originally about Martian miners. The RF1 and RF2 were pretty fun at the time. With destructive terrain you were able to shoot rockets till you made a tunnel reaching another room. If they went back and remade those, polishing up everything plus combine it with the destructive building physics maybe it would have been awesome.

it's almost as if some people prefer their sandbox urban worlds with monkey cheese humour and some prefer it the other way. Weird.

The first one, yea. SR2 was awesome though. loving INSANE storyline, amazing voice actors, characters that sing along with the radio, it was a hell of a game. SR3 and 4 were decent but didn't have that "cold as hell" boss that you did NOT want to gently caress with like SR2 did. Still, in 4 you have the crackdown esque "Oh, an orb, lemme get it, oh, another orb, lemme get it, what the gently caress where did the last 3 hours of my life go?" I loved GTA5 as well. It was the only GTA game I've actually bothered to complete because the storyline was good, I enjoyed seeing where the hell I was going to wake up as Trevor, and the city was awesome. Spent most of my time shooting rockets at cougars though, cause gently caress them. They and their families need to pay for what they did to John Marsten back in RDR. Point is, if they remade SR2 I'd be in it just for the ps4 and the INSANE amount of people they would have onscreen during a pimp riot. I'm already buying the remake for GTA5. I'd buy one for RDR as well.

Like I said, I feel like I'm missing all the amazing stuff in the GTAV world that other people say. Other than driving through the (admittedly really nice) countryside and shooting random people, I can't think of anything else to do in the game really. At least stuff I'd want to do and not Yoga Minigame or Relatively Good Golf Minigame. People keep going on about GTAV's world but I guess I'm missing something because it felt empty. There was almost nothing to do in it even compared to GTASA which like a decade earlier.It isn't even about monkey-cheese humor it is that it had a gigantic amazing world with nothing to do in it and exploring a video game world with no possibility of discovery kinda doesn't hold much interest to me.

I can see why other people find the humor and references of SR 3/4 to be extremely grating, but as someone who grew up in the 80s and early 90s they scratch a very particular itch for me. If I had been drinking milk during the strip club scene where Simply Irresistible started playing, it would have surely come spraying out of my nose.

I seriously thought the part at the end where you put on the power armour and Touch starts playing in the background was loving awesome. Until I had to deal with the weird falling down the shaft controls.

On the remake of GTA5 there's the possibility it will be SO HIGH RES and SO AWESOME that we will be able to COUNT THE KERNELS OF CORN in that poo poo mission. That is how high tech and overpowered the ps4 is, and I can't wait for november.

Don't really see how anyone can say Saints Row IV had "monkey cheese" humor. Yeah, it's really referential a lot of the time, but it's not Borderlands 2 level comedy. This is coming from someone who really loved SRIV though, and thought it was the best game of 2013. So I guess I'm a little biased.

There's not really a major difference between the two. The things people dislike about Borderlands 2 are the weird referential jokes that are memes or having you fight the ninja turtles or whatever. SRIV is in a pretty similar territory, just with text adventures and Mass Effect jokes.

I actually beat SRIV at my girlfriend's house and she was so confused/intrigued, she asked me to roll another character so that she could try to understand the full story. The romance options were probably one of the funniest parts for her. Policenaut posted:Zinyak was the best part of Saints 4 and he wasn't in it nearly as much as he should have.

I remember playing the first Saints Row and thinking it was great and that the next GTA should play like it. The story and universe was terrible but the gameplay was tight. I remember being so disappointed in Saints Row 2. It was cheap dogshit compared to the original but some people loved the "wacky zany" aspect.

Is the LAN connection on the PS4 absolutely terrible or does Charter throttle gaming systems now? Through two routers and even an extender, I can't get anymore than 10mbps down and I'll be lucky to get that even. Wifi got me as much as 4mbps supposedly but Destiny was unplayable and Netflix didn't work much at all. I have since moved my system next to the router and ran a 3ft cable to it hoping that would improve it but this thing seems capped at 10mbps. I've got 60mbps internet.

The remaster will be a day one purchase for me. Do we know if they'll let you transfer save states?

Regardless of what I think of Saints Row 4 they nailed the pricing and release model. $30 for the game or $50 for the game with a brand new expansion. gently caress this $60 Sleeping Dogs bs.

My gripe with GTAV is there wasn't a bad guy in it. There's not one central figure that's evil, and that's what killed my interest in it. That said the humor in Saints Row is dog poo poo and stupid. They're fun games but they're the equivalent of letting 4chan write a open world game.

Is there a PS4 games thread? Long story short, I'm going to get a PS4 in May, and I haven't been paying attention to the list of games coming out. Specifically, I love platformers, but considering what happened on the PS3, I'm not holding my breath. (I have a Wii U for platformers anyway)

Always felt too floaty to me, and because of the openness of its physics engine, puzzles and such wouldn't work every time. Edit: I liked all of the Ratchet and Clank games, but looking at the most recent iteration as well as the sales, I expect that series to be ended.

I brought it up because it was the only big name platformer coming exclusively to the PS4 that I could think of. I am sure there will be some indie platformers coming, but I would think that pretty much everything that falls under the category of 'platformer' will be coming to the WiiU like you mentioned earlier. Do play much else besides platformers? There will be plenty of PS4 exlcusives/stuff you cant play on the WiiU coming out but if platformers are your main jam, PS4 might not be where its at for you. edit - \/\/\/\/ well hey, free PS4, cant complain about that WinnebagoWarrior fucked around with this message at 20:03 on Sep 23, 2014 |

That's good to hear about LBP3. I'm over remakes though, so I likely won't be touching the Ratchet and Clank remake. Edit: WinnebagoWarrior posted:Haha, coincidentally, I am also not a LBP fan.

Thanks. I'll be getting a PS4 either way (long story short, I won an award at work that gives monthly points that in May will allow me to get a PS4 for free), but I was just hoping to see a brighter landscape than just FPS and third person action games.
