I'm pretty excited about re-REmake, but I want REmake 0 too. I really liked that game's setting. Most of it was on a train, right?

In any case, this'll be the 3rd or 4th time I've bought RE. I too have a problem.

Nope. Like 1/10th of it was on a train then the rest of the game takes place at a Umbrella training facility and some labs.

The only way I will even consider double dipping for REmake is if they allow us to skip the loading screens. After playing some of the games on PC and the DS version, they make the game go by so much smoother and so much faster.

This game was never on the DS...or PC.

Edit- Read that wrong. I see what you mean. Yeah my biggest gripe with REmake going back is the awkward laggy transitions between camera angles and in the cutscenes it does the same thing when it changes angles. I never noticed it when the game came out but I really do now. I would hope that's fixed. The door loading animation never bothered me, just felt like part of the game. I stopped noticing them after a while.

Sorry, I meant the originals. But the camera transition is noticeable, but I can ignore it. But one day I was playing RE:Zero at a friend's and he pointed out that I was watching doors open more than I was actually playing the game. After that, I have always noticed it and when you play on the DS, you can shave off at least 20-40 minutes just by skipping the door loading screens. They take up quite a bit of playtime.

Sleeping Dogs was a fun game, but it wasn't double dipping remastered fun. I mainly played for the story, but since I have completed that, there isn't any reason to jump on it.

Eek, kinda surprised at how weak Killzone Shadow Fall's first hour is.

On the one hand, its cool to see a bit wider of a playground and a bit of non-linearity - on the downside I feel like a drunken soldier stumbling into bases and tripping alarms left and right. I'm hoping this faffing about gives way to a more scripted shooter, or at least one that doesn't feel quite as poorly designed.

And I know the series has been moving away from that heavy weighty feel to combat and movement since Killzone 2, but this feels like too far in the other direction. It just feels very standard and stilted, miles away from the measured gunfights of Killzone 3.

Sure is purdy, though. And hey, I hear Wolfenstein is the real prize.

Shadow Fall becomes much more corridor and shooter oriented after about the first 2 levels. But the game just feels off and I can decide if I like it for it or not. Everything in the first few levels feel barren. Like hardly any enemies, but I guess its a decent change from shooting up armies of helghast.

I apologise if this has been asked already but how is the co-op for Killzone?

I've been really wanting a good co-op game, I've been dabbling in Warframe but wouldn't mind more options.

Its quite honestly poo poo. Skip it. Its unbalanced as hell. But they may have changed some stuff. Last time I played was, unlock jetpacks, win.

Oh hey, wait for the end of chapter 7 if you want armies of helghasts.

I loved the second part of chapter 4 train mission and the second part of chapter 6 where you have to escape east berlin with the help of the daughter of stalin, but the end of chapter 7 is pure, unalterated bullshit with a topping of rushed ending. If I can't finish it off at easy mode I won't touch the single player anymore, and that's a pity because mercenary's single player was balanced way better and is actually replayable.

The multiplayer in Shadowfall is just way better.

Well, the very last section of the game is full of bullshit that rivals that of Killzone 2.

Really? I enjoyed the last mission with a more interesting player character and stealth powers much more than the "This is a Quick Time Event except it lasts four minutes" that came before it.

I'm not gonna bag on you for jumping to conclusions but if you went back and played the series you'd probably be pleasantly surprised. or at the very least surprised. it's pretty much the weirdest mainstream game series that has ever existed. Basically the opposite of most dudebro games for better or worse.

To me MGS is basically it's own genre.

I would advise them not to do that. MGS is a series that has gone from being pretty drat obtuse game mechanic wise to actually catching up and being slightly ahead of the times stealth and control wise.

Trying to play the original Snake Eater and Subsistence is like night and day.

Played Killzone Multiplayer again today after a hiatus, and I guess it is following in the series footsteps. Its a meat grinder with a bunch of ways to easily die. It sort of feels dumbed down in ways because as far as I know, you can't actually completely kill people like you could in the old games by shooting them once they are down.

But I guess I learned my lesson. I only jumped on because I saw Dantes playing and he is a good teammate to have in The Last of Us.

I think Bill's town is the first good part of the game. The first area suffers from Tutorial syndrome and the area after Bill's suffer from "Well we got to have gameplay" before the king of all sequences Fall/Winter.

Seriously, if you feel like you are slogging through, knock it to easy and play at least until the end of Winter. I think Fall and Winter are probably the best parts of the game and worth the beginning.

This is like 75% of the game. Id say that if he doesn't like it by the time he reaches the bookstore in Pittsburgh, then he isn't going to like it.

That being said, I thought the game was pretty boring up until you start fighting the Hunters in Pittsburgh.

Has anyone tried using their PS4 controller on PC? I looked into it briefly but saw all this stuff about having to download drivers for the xbox controller and change setting around and I just sort of decided I didn't care enough. I want to play Dark Souls though and apparently it's much better with a controller so I suppose I'll just have to figure it out.

This is the one game where it was better to not use the PS4 emulator because it acts up. Basically you use the 360ce app in a specific manner and it works perfectly.

I put about 60 hours in the original multiplayer, and about 15 in the new one, and it was and still is definitely a thing. It's incredibly hard to stop on poorly designed levels like checkpoint, where if you shack up in either house at the end of the level it's almost impossible to be flanked. The majority of the team runs skills that reward a lot of parts, and can easily build military sniper rifles after one round. When people take up a fortified position it really is very difficult to "burn them out", as they have a ton of cover in their buildings, and you will take a military sniper bullet to the head or chest in the time it takes you to aim the molotov.

Don't get me wrong. TLOU multiplayer is great, but there are some serious flaws that becomes more obvious the longer you play. Lots of levels have certain key chokepoints that are very hard to flank, which good teams will always abuse, making the map way more boring since it always revolves around that area. The balancing is off on some weapons like the bow and the flamethrower, and the skills also aren't really balanced either. It's not like I'm saying this from the perspective of someone who is brand new. I've put in a lot of time in the original and a decent amount with the new one too.

Yeah, the bow is a poo poo show in multiplayer. I don't know if its the netcode or the way the bow is set up but i have been shot by elbows with the bow and something is up with it because about 80% of the parties I see have at least 2 or 3 people rolling with one.

Joel has no idea who those guys were or what they'd done/do even if the player does. That's what makes it so dark. Even if he did it's still gross to kill prisoners who currently pose no threat. That's what makes Joel an interesting character! "Defending cannibalism" is dumb. The story is so effective because Joel does gross, unheroic things.

Yeah I agree with this. First of all, Joel used to be a hunter. He even states that he used to ambush people to kill them and take their stuff. Even then, Marlene was the one that spared his life because she felt he was the only one that knew what kind of decision she had to make. Even still at the end of the game, when she hold him at gunpoint, she turns her gun off of him as a show of peace and he shoots her and then straight up murders her. Joel is a pretty monstrous person.

I think the most positive thing anyone can say about Watch Dogs is that hopefully we're in for a AC1 -> AC2 situation where the sequel fully realizes the promise of the original. There's a skeleton of a good game there but it never quite comes together.

But that isn't quite where Watch Dogs is though. The problem with AC1 is that there just wasn't anything to do. The problem with Watch Dogs is that there is plenty of things to do, but they just aren't that interesting to do.

I'm having a problem with my gold headset. While I was playing D3 a goon connected with me and for the life of me I couldn't hear him at all, only a slight whisper is what I got. I couldn't really double check if it's me or not cause I don't have too many friends on PSN. The rest of the sound from the game is good. Is there a setting that I'm missing?

There is a setting that says "sound/chat" that changes the balance of the game sound and chat volume. Mess with that and see if it makes things better.

GTA online still manages to be fun as long as you aren't grinding up from nothing. I played during the early days where money was much easier to come by. Hell, I wouldn't even mind buying some GTA bucks if the prices weren't so ludicrous. Last I checked, I think it was $20 for 1 million GTA bucks.

I know Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeros has an app, although I haven't fired it up yet.

Assassins Creed 4 allows you to view the map and do the Kenway's Fleet stuff while you are away from the game. Ground Zeroes uses it as a map. Watch Dogs allow you to control the cops in the CToS Mobile challenges. Thats all I know of so far.

E: ^^^^ Much less assholey, yes. I still think the fears are mostly unfounded and are definitely a worst-case scenario, but with it never being put into practice we don't know. I disagree on the PSNow kind of idea though, admitting the licensing system has flaws that err in favor of the consumer doesn't meant it has to be abandoned entirely. Also I'd say what I want is more like walking out in the first ten minutes of a movie and asking for a different ticket.

Well yeah but I decided arguing over this was more fun.

Plus I decided to give it a fair shake. I really do think on further reflection Watch_Dogs just had a bad opening. I decided to do some procedural stuff first, after a fairly long day at work, which I doubt gave a great impression of the game overall.

Honestly, I thought the game was crap. The story is awful, the city is bland, and once you have done the activities, you have pretty much seen everything the game has to offer. Play up to the point where you can unlock all the skills and if you still don't like it, then it won't get any better.

Nevermind the fun issues I had with NASCAR and the legal sponsors 4 weeks from gold submission.

But hey you know, when you grow up, get a job you absolutely love, give 150+ hours in 14 days non stop and come in while a smile on your face but the gently caress face co-worker cheated and edited the database to get ahead of you, and you have empirical evidence that they cheated, it doesn't matter.

I'm bitter, pissed, resentful, despise every fiber of ATVI, I vehemently express this to every gamer in hopes they don't support that company that does nothing for the industry than makes games based on checklists of features based on the lowest common denominator of entertainment value. You're a loving tool for supporting them, bottom line. Sorry, hate me if you will, you aren't one of the people to get hosed over by something you love.

So hilarious. You Destiny folks are like people still playing WoW; point out the glaring flaws, make comparisons to other games, lead them breadcrumb trails to a logical conclusion, and they nearly get there, then throw it all out and say NO IT'S DIFFERENT YOU JUST DON'T GET IT.

The fact that you guys are insisting it's not like Borderlands, which was derivative of Diablo, because Destiny is more derivative of WoW are just making idiotic leaps of logic. Yes, surely it's more like a 3 player MMO than the 4 player RPG that MMO pulls from.

Goddamn are you guys going to crash hard.

Actually, I found Destiny to be more derivative of Halo than anything from the environments, the music, the look, the gunplay, the movement, the vehicles and the way they control. Even the weapon types are pulled right from Halo.
