DrManiac posted:It's sad that names for this type of thing are so bad you have to ask that. It's really quite confusing seriously. Like these days, Deluxe editions are just cosmetic stuff. Look at Battlefront or Battlefield 1 or Titanfall 2. Remastered games call themselves different thigns all the time: Deathnative edition, definitive edition, warmaster edition, remastered edition. Even current gen stuff gets re-released as a GOTY edition or Complete edition. Sometimes Gold Edition is with the DLC stuff, like For Honor or South Park Stick of Truth. Dark Souls 3 Deluxe Edition actually does have the season pass. Then COD IW calls their Legacy edition for the MWR edition, or Digital Deluxe for MWR and season pass. But in the end, we need to remember, it's never worth buying any other edition. Grab the standard edition on release/sale, buy the season pass after it's gone on sale, or it's proven that the DLC is worth it (Like the witcher 3) If you look for the word Edition, there are 288 matches for PS4 alone.

What's the difference between the Witcher 3 and Witcher 3 Complete? I've got a small kid so the base version will last me half a year, wondering how the quality is overall?

Those of you asking which AC game to buy, to drive the point even further home, AC Syndicate just got PS Pro support via a patch.

Witcher 3 is the best RPG made in the past decade, and probably the best WRPG ever made in terms of storytelling, characters, and the scope of its world. Its combat is pretty decent, and it has a lot of elements that make it fun, like hunting monsters requires you to research their weaknesses, and overall the game is just damned incredible. Play it, love it. I had nothing else t do and played it for basically two straight months and I still couldn't do everything there is to do.

You will have the same reaction as I had: how the hell did you get 12 hours into a game you very clearly hated like, that game is pretty upfront about being anime as hell Also, if you're mentioning a disc, you either really really hated V2 somehow, or you played the PS3-era IF Neps, which are, at best, mediocre (Victory) and, at worst, an abysmal experience beyond any measurable scope (Neptunia 1)

Sakurazuka posted:lol the trailer for Darksiders HD on the store is literally just the pre-rendered intro sequence and shows you nothing of how the game looks, bets are on 15 fps like the PS4 port of 2. I was thinking about getting it then read that it's 30fps. how the gently caress is a generation-old port called the "definitive" edition when it can't loving run at 60fps. Same thing for Dishonored, which I'd rather play on my PC. How does it still run at just 30fps, jesus bethsesda please ask the DOOM guys how to get your games running adequately.

To add to this to address the DLC, which the Complete edition includes, it is some of the best DLC released for any game, period. Blood and Wine in particular is 20-30 hours long and better than the vast majority of standalone RPGs by itself. So while the main game will give you enough to play for a good while, the DLC is absolutely worth it and that price for the complete edition is a steal.

one of my friends who is an ~INDUSTRY INSIDER~ told me that a lot of bad legacy engines remain in use for way too long because it's very hard for the people making the games to actually convince the people in accounting that it's necessary. which is how you end up with these half measure upgrades like beth has been doing, or the ridiculous situation where altering assets in Destiny took so long

If they had the numbers to support it it shouldn't be that hard of an argument to make.

I'm not sure about player count as I only play with a friend, and that hasn't happened in months. The game is cool for 10 bucks. Just beware that there's no real single player content. Some maps are more balanced than others. Always use the pistol.

Imagine Dishonored running on the poo poo id games and Machinegames uses. Sure it might take a little bit of a hit graphically but DOOM looked fantastic all the same.

knows a black guy posted:Wanna jump on Mad Max and Sniper Elite 3, with Shadows of Mordor possibly added. Goon approved? The game makes a huge deal about using land mines to cover your rear end but on mid-level difficulty or lower it's rarely something to worry about. Also, the ghost function where you can take loud potshots and relocate is really easy (and fun) to exploit if you're even the slightest bit patient.

The base game is my favorite RPG I've ever played and the DLC, especially Blood & Wine is great and deep enough to be its own game. The writing in Witcher 3 is so good and the missions feel like such a natural extension of the story that it's hard to go back to the normal fetch quest nonsense.

Shadow of Mordor is pretty great, takes aspects of rear end Creed and Batman and wraps them in an amazing orc power-structure/nemesis system that really sells the game. Set a dude on fire and cut his head off? He might come back with a huge scar around his neck and now he can't be backstabbed or hit with arrows, but he's afraid of fire! It's a brilliant mechanic and I hope they can make it work in other games.

Mordor is super easy as is and you'll end up missing the good stuff with the nemesis system. I think I died a total of 10 times in the whole game and a lot of that wasn't to actual orcs I could turn into my nemesis Try this: http://kotaku.com/think-shadow-of-mordor-is-too-easy-try-these-out-1653394248

If you don't have enough in your wallet, it'll use your credit card or whatever else funding you have to top off your wallet. So yeah it'll pull 49.03 from your credit card after it uses the credit first.

Mad Max was good, but you might want to space out your play through if you also get Mordor, since they have similar combat systems.
