I don't think I'll ever play it cos it's not my thang but Horizon graphics look great and this is the engine Kojima wants to use for Death Stranding so happy days!

I'm curious how well Horizon will do, since it came out in the midst of what feels like market saturation. But I really want to play it when my backlog isn't so crazy!

I really doubt any of the games released so far this year will have had a bigger marketing push than the first party sony game games like nioh and yakuza are cool and all but they aren't gonna have the same kind of backing or mass appeal

To be fair, the audience for it is quite different and more mainstream than the audience for things like Nioh and Nier 2 so it could still do fine. Still it's a new IP so who knows?

UnfortunateSexFart (And anyone else who was hot on For Honor...) This is not a callout. Just a genuine curiosity... a week later, how do you feel on For Honor? I gameflyed it but haven't even taken it out of it's mailer in 6 days because NIOH SO loving GOOD (and also I'm a dad with limited time...)

I might reup my Gamefly subscription to play Nioh and Horizon: Zero Dawn (which I have pooh-poohed here in the past, but the reviews appear to be really good and I am a fickle, easily swayed consumer) once I finish FF15 and Fallout 4. So like in 6 months I guess?

Feenix posted:UnfortunateSexFart (And anyone else who was hot on For Honor...) I am more impressed the more I play, honestly. They built enough progression stuff to make it last a long time - you don't even get the really cool weapons/gear until you play for about 50 hours it seems. No goon has done it yet as far as I know. Combat has tons of depth. My one big issue is that when lots of people rage quit it can crash the whole game, but other than that it's become the only multiplayer game I play lately. It will suck if you're not good at online multiplayer games though. You have to be better than average or you're gonna have a bad time. Here's me taking on three players by myself and winning  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgwZG8SdMHY To those not familiar with the game, that's me stopping an execution (so I could revive my teammate) then blocking three attackers until my revenge meter (boosted by blocking attacks) caused a knockdown on anyone attacking me when that yellow pulse went out (two of three). Then the third guy tried to hit me with an insta-kill flaming arrow attack, which I narrowly dodged, and caused him to try to run away - but I was faster and separated his head from his body. It's too bad some people in this thread want it to fail so badly because it really is fun and challenging and I believe will be around and popular for a long time. Just look at how many posts are in the For Honor thread.

Feenix posted:UnfortunateSexFart (And anyone else who was hot on For Honor...) The souls series of games + bloodborne are probably my favourite game series ever. I started Nioh and it is undoubtedly awesome, but it has been temporarily shelved because grouping up with 3 of my friends and throwing people off ledges, into spikes and lava and other assorted activities have been the funnest times I've had in a MP game in a long time, and I've played all the CoD's, Battlefields, Titanfall, Vermentide, Space Hulk Deathwing, Overwatch, Killing Floor 2 and many other games across PC and PS4. Getting in on the early days of a game like this are the best, compared to a mainly single player experience like Nioh that I can go back to any time. In other words it's great and a week in I'm enjoying it more now than I was a week before.

Still gonna give it a fair shake if I can pull myself away from Nioh.

This has semi-convinced me to rent it while I'm waiting for Horizon. I guess I will let the random chance of the Gamefly queue determine whether I play RE7 or For Honor

You still get all the pretty cosmetics just the stats effects don't apply to duels I believe.

screaden posted:What is this from? Leslie Benzies, the former head of Rockstar North, sued Take2 for $150 million in unpaid bonuses and wrongful termination. Benzies was reportedly the man who got the games out of door when the Houser brothers were struggling with development. That excerpt about emails is from his lawsuit. I have no idea why publishers get into a legal battle with former employees over unpaid wages rather than settle it out of court. The former employees tend to win, such as Martin O'Donnell winning over Bungie. More importantly, it publically airs all of company's financial agreements, contracts, and dirty laundry. You can just pay the lost wages and save yourself a great deal of legal fees and embarrassment.

For Honor is actually a pretty alright game. Dumped a ton of hours into it this past weekend. There's valid complaints, especially about the p2p/connection/server issue. Guess we'll see with time

You can replace the drive bay cover on the original model with ones in various colour schemes. Haven't you seen them? There's usually a few in most big stores like Best Buy or Gamestop (Well, the Aussie equivalents, at least).

Speaking of Hatsune Miku, which is the one to get on the PS4 for the best deal if you don't have VR? I downloaded a "free" version which has like 3 songs, but I've heard mention in this thread that you can get one that has like 200 songs and is apparently a better deal than the dlc for the version I downloaded.

Also I don't see any reason to only get one half of it or the other, you should just go all in and have enough music game to play until the end of time.

Yeah this is a rough start to the year money-wise. Nioh, Horizon, Yakuza, Zelda and Persona all within the first three months. and even For Honour looks good. Still not even halfway through Witcher 3 pretty sure. And then I still got two DLCs to go after that so gently caress me I guess.
