Horizon Zero Dawn is probably my 'game of the generation' for the PS4/Xbone gen, followed very closely by God of War. PS4 has an absolutely great library of games, and as cheap as the base model is, owning a Switch and PS4 isn't really hard.

I got pretty bored with HZD and could never get into it. Sadly, God of War was the same as I stopped part way into the second world. I then read spoilers after selling it and I wished I would've stuck with it a bit more. Oh well.

Anyone encouraging you to unbox your PS4 and not play God of War first has an agenda they're trying to force on you.

That is absolutely one of the games on my backlog.

Yeah I've still got an OG PS4. I don't see the point in upgrading to the Pro YET because games still look pretty drat good on it and I've only got a 1080p screen (I'm waiting for 4K OLED TVs to drop down in price a bit so that when I upgrade it's a MASSIVE upgrade).

Yeah I did for the same game lol. Just call support and if you bought it in the last 48 hours they can do it for you on the spot, if it's been longer than that they have to escalate it to a higher tier rep but they should do it for you as a "one time courtesy" if you're nice

The supervisor gave me some spiel about doing your research, be an informed consumer, before buying games. Ok buddy. Don't let poo poo on your system.

Yeah I think people overstate how bad it gets after Anor Londo. The main problem is the difficulty progression breaks off after that point cause the game's no longer linear, so it's easy to get overleveled and just steamroll the remaining content.

Lost Izalith does suck though. That area is plain unfinished and I can't believe they didn't fix it in the remaster.

Yeah, this is what disappointed me most on the remaster. I understand not tinkering with an all time great, but that whole area is clearly unfinished and is poo poo, so even just a bit of TLC or elbow grease there would've been completely fine.

I'll eat my hat if My Friend Pedro started out as a Deadpool game. All they did was change the outfit and make the talking chimichanga a banana instead. Only surprise was the lack of katanas or sais. Looks pretty good.

Yeah I got that feeling like halfway into the trailer. Luckily the game looks like a cool side-scrolling Hotline Miami so I'm down for it.

Those are the same gobshites who have been spending all of yesterday bitching and moaning about Cyberpunk having a day/night cycle so it's obviously not proper cyberpunk.

Don't count Sony out yet, but Nintendo has Smash, Pokemon, and almost certainly some Metroid stuff to talk about (even if it's just the same title card with "2019" added to it) so yeah it's pretty much theirs for the taking.

I'll be shocked if it's anything other than that, I think Kojima wants people to go in as much in the dark as possible. Remember that all promo materials suggested MGS2 had Solid Snake as the player character, he absolutely loves messing with people.

Honestly I wouldn't be shocked if all that baby thumbs up monster stuff was just Norman Reedus' dream cutscenes, and the actual gameplay is just him being an office worker or something. There's stealth elements where you try to sneak out of work early without your supervisor Janice noticing.

FFXIV has crossovers all the time with other Square Enix properties. The only shocker is they decided this time was worth an e3 announcement.

There was a Platinum announced game. I need more footage since Platinum does enough games these days that I’m not automatically hyped on them anymore at announcement.

If that new Spiderman is good it might push me to get a PS4. The trailers and stuff they showed last year made it look kinda poo poo though. Like Batman Arkham Asylum style stalking and then on rails chase sections and QTEs. I just really want a big rear end city and web swinging like Spiderman 2.
