ImpAtom posted:Eh, it sort of did. The ending patch alone didn't 'fix' ME3 but it combined with the Citadel patch seemed to have paved over a lot of anger. There was way more outrage over the ending of ME3. Because the ending wasn't what people wanted, and they hated the idea of 3 color choice endings. FF15 (at least from what I hear), the plot is more... entangled? than your usual final fantasy plot. The plot is at least there, and it has a better... ending than ME3. It just needs some restructuring. It might even be better received when we get a PS5, and FFXV 4k Remaster with all DLC and patches intact. You have to give Square props for trying. If Bioware didn't have so much hate over the ME3 DLC, they probably wouldn't have patched it at all.

Manatee Cannon posted:me3 wasn't just the weak ending to a game; it was the weak ending to a trilogy of games, in which you made choices that shaped your character and the universe (s)he lived in. having an awful ending was a much bigger deal with that game because it was following two critically and fan acclaimed games that were liked in large part because of the characters and the story Yeah again this is why FFXV might fair better than ME3. People were VERY loving UPSET about taking their Shepard through an entire trilogy, to what basically amounts to a cop-out ending. They bonded with their Shepard over what, 5 years? Nobody bonded with Noctis and his gang. FFXV just needs more content in between. And maybe a little work done to pacing (if that can be achievable) and it'd be so far better. Super No Vacancy posted:i mean you couldve patched the ending of me3 if they had patched the ending for me3 and added an ending but what they did was barely add a cutscene. ffxv supposedly still has like most of the team still working on the game or something Citadel is kind of like this. I'm sure not officially, but it's intended to somehow takeplace after the ending. Bioware was stuck with the hole they wrote themselves into, and it would have likely been embarrassing for them to retcon it and write something completely different. FFXV doesn't need the ending to be rewritten or something. It just needs more writing in the middle.

Digirat posted:Unfortunately mass effect 3 had a lot of really weak stuff totally unrelated to the ending, so even if they had patched in a great ending, it wouldn't have fixed the majority of it. See: Kai leng, that goddamn kid, most of the neutral dialogue options going away It has some really good highs though, so those could have been forgiven but essentially the ending broke the camels back and opened the floodgates to bitching.

Sunning posted:GTA Online has made over $500 million in revenue. It's great for Take2 to have an ongoing service since the tend to lose money whenever they don't have a GTA or Red Dead game out for the year. Just for clarification, I believe the $500 million was from sales of shark cards ALONE. That number was released almost a year ago. Remember this game is consistently topping the sales charts too. I wouldn't be surprised if the total revenue (not profits) from ALL of GTA V (including last gen) surpassed 1 billion by now.

Yeah I still can't call nioh better than the dark souls games. Nioh does some things better but it does have just as many flaws as any of the dark souls titles. But as mentioned before its like they forgot to make the rest of the game challenging after the first few bosses. And they reuse levels for side missions and the enemy variety is probably less than half of any dark souls game. I hope they at least learn and improve for a nioh 2 or whatever spiritual sequel they do (Irish or viking mythology?)

Bombadilillo posted:Nioh is better because when a boss has more then one phase and I beat it I don't have to beat it again for bullshit challenge reasons. The boss thing I don't understand. Is it because nioh bosses don't transform and say 'ah this is my true health bar!' nioh bosses have phases too and make you restart the fight with the full health bar (for example, bozu in and out of water). Aside from that one boss at the end of the first dlc in ds3(which your complaint seems to be about) , I can't think of any dark souls bosses that actually did phases that would correlate to your complaint (okay maybe o/s in dark souls 1 too, so two boss encounters in five games, doesn't seem like something to complain about) You're going to get a lot of people that disagree with coop. The main reason is, to even be summoned for anything, you have to beat the level yourself. Summoning someone is about the same, maybe a little better,since you can just go off and fight enemies while it match makes.

Bombadilillo posted:Its still early enough that getting summoned takes 15 seconds, and I don't have to travel to a place to do it. much better. I understand the summon restriction hate, but it means you theoretically are going to get help that knows what the gently caress they are doing. The play everything coop restriction is bullshit. But I like to sunbro and that has been streamlined immensely. I've reached area 5 and level 90something. So probably over 75% through the game. Summoning is good now because the game is active. But it can be flawed in its own way, for example, you can't help someone with something new and learn it for your own game. Or get halfway through a level, drop a summon sign and help someone (small white soapstone) for a resource refill. And I can summon or be summoned anywhere, it's just other people like to choose specific places. I will admit again, the ability to go somewhere and let matchmaking find someone is great. That's why I can't just call the coop better. It's worse especially in the context of friends or trying to complete a game together. And I can hit a button and help someone randomly in dark souls as well *places soapstone before a boss, takes one button press* and better yet, I get to choose where they can summon me in the level. In nioh, that's a bit of a wildcard. If you try to help for umi bozu, it's a crap shoot if they've lit all torches or not. In dark souls, just place soapstone right before boss fight and you'll be summoned for it. Nioh just does some things a little differently than dark souls and that just means it's better in some ways but can be worse in others.

I can't wait to play that new game. Where I can shoot or slice up giant robots and their weak spots. I also can't wait to find and discover items in out of the way paths and to learn and use new weapons and abilities. I think there might be some customization too! I do hope I'll be able to discover what happened to the civilization that happened before this time. The lore should be rich and have lots of room for interpretation.

I do appreciate the summer is a drought. It means whatever we couldn't afford to buy/play is now more like summer releases for us (at 20 to 30 bucks off!) Just getting into Zelda now which might take up a whole month then probably get into dark souls 3 dlc and mass effect but I've got Yakuza, hzd, Nier, maybe both Kingdom Hearts collection, berserk, dangan ronpa and notary games, persona as options and that's just the ps4 games that released this year alone will be out before summer starts.

Gravy Jones posted:I impulse grabbed one for Forza last year and because the new one was so cheap. I haven't used it since (I did enjoy the game a lot though) and don't really think there's much incentive to own both any more, especially given most Xbox exclusives are going to be playable on the PC. One thing is for sure, I'll never compain about the PS4s interface again. Forza is the last best thing Microsoft has I think. Gears is great but maybe not everyone's cup of tea. Tbh, I think halo is ruined and it won't be the beast it used to be. Even if they change it around with Scorpio or Xbox one-two, the exclusives alone will make me stay ps4. Sony would have to really gently caress it up to make me consider xbox next generation (and I've already skipped it this generation)

This is seriously such a good loving first 4 months of the year, especially for ps4. Even better with a wiiu. I have to imagine some Xbone owners why only have just the Xbone are really salty about missing out on like nioh, Yakuza, Nier, and horizon. And it's gonna get worse with persona on the way, and the kingdom hearts collection and so many anime games like gravity rush 2, dangan ronpas or nonary games. If you don't have a ps4, you really are going to miss out on so much. Sorry guys, turns out we made a deal with the devil. In order to have this fantastic year of games, trump and brexit had to happen.

Basically the back end of the year could be just as bad as the front. In terms of number of games, not speaking about quality. If we count new Zelda for front half, then there's a new Mario for back half. And as said before, expect a few announcements at e3 and destiny will be a really big release. Say what you will about destiny but it apparently has a few million unique people sign on over a monthly basis. It's a surprisingly active game. Who knows what comes out at e3 as well. I'm sure we'll see a few smaller projects announce there and release by end of year. And there's still games that get announced at e3 and release for first half of next year like dark souls 3. So even if the back half isn't as strong as the front half, we're likely soon to have another good front half in 2018. This summer is a great chance to catch up on games released during the front half that you didn't have money/time to get into. I wouldn't expect anything major to come out in may/june/July and August. So it's more like we've had a strong third of the year, we'll have a break for the second third, and there's still quite a few big releases for the last third.

vandalism posted:I just bought a ps4 pro for Nioh and Bloodborne. I'm pc gaming master race, but poo poo looks decent so far. It's also nice playing on a 42" TV. We will see how things play out. Really, the most 'missable' console this generation is a Xbox one. You'd probably want the PS4 for all of those great, quirky japanese exclusives like Yakuza Zero, but it has some solid franchises like Uncharted 4, or now soon to be Horizon Zero Dawn. A wiiu is a good purchase but you'd basically use it for nintendo developed and published games only. And bayonetta 2/wonderful 101. Breath of the Wild is fantastic, and I think everyone needs to play it, but it's also a switch title as well. CharlieFoxtrot posted:It evens out with suspend resume meaning most of the time I am playing instantly after hitting a button. Nier Automata may load faster on my PC but I get two extra load screens every session That's actually a pretty big deal isn't it? If you never play another game, you can do the entire game as one massive suspend/resume session. But if you only have time for 30ish minute sessions, that two extra load screens may cut into it every time.

BeanpolePeckerwood posted:If anything, the PS3 generation is one of the reasons PS4 is so great right now, because western devs were forced to fill the vacuum left by Japanese devs who couldn't do poo poo on that system. Sony basically had to shift their portfolio emphasis to devs like Naughty Dog, Guerilla, Sucker Punch, and Insomniac in order to push the potential of a system that was notoriously difficult to develop for. All those studios were key in the middleware R&D network that is so strong in Sony's camp today, and they all share tech. One could argue that playstation 2 was just as strong. You got Jax and Daxter and the Rachet and Clank games. And we know the PS2 probably has the highest number of actually good games, just because it sold just about the most consoles as well as probably the most software titles sold in total.

BeanpolePeckerwood posted:I dunno, the PS2 felt like a decided shift away from western devs. Japanese title support was extremely strong on that console, but the western stuff, aside from obvious examples like God of War, just always felt like an afterthought. J&D, R&C, and Sly Cooper, while generally well respected by their fanbases, all seem like they're building to something more...but they never really get there, maybe because the conceptual art assets were so far behind what the japansese game industry had been up to in the 90s. The PS2's success in the west seemed less tied to western games and more tied to adoption rates of DVDs. But see, when I think PS1, I still think of a lot of Japanese developed games, from Final Fantasy to Parasite Eve to PaRappa The Rapper, to Xenogears to Metal Gear Solid. Nintendo 64 probably has better american support from Turok to Goldeneye, every RARE game like donkey kong, banjo and conker, the cruisi'n games, a exclusive version of DOOM, and finally I believe the nintendo 64 still has the most great wrestling games. PS2 just has as a strong push from not-japanese devs as the PS1. I'm merely speaking from a games development point though. (Timesplitters is another game that got it's start on PS2). The other side of saying this is, the PS1 non-japanese support was just as weak as the PS2. It's probably true that most of any American/European games development from NES to end of PS2, was for the PC. Xbox has a pretty solid roster of American dev support, but... it's an american console so the first party games were american by default. You can't say that about PS2 or Gamecube. The PS3 and the PS4 does have a marked rise of western devs. Maybe they realized those consoles finally had the power to do everything they wanted. I just couldn't let you stay with the idea that the PS1 was any better than the PS2, when in reality, they're about the same.

Yeah making a high power high cost machine doesn't seem that beneficial to helping xbox recover. Some people will buy it but not enough for the xbox brand to catch up to Sony. A console probably mostly succeeds on three things: the price (Microsoft lost to Sony from the beginning when the ps4 was 100 less), exclusives (ps4 has the better/more exclusives and most Xbox ones are on pc anyway) and probably the accessibility of the system/ui (both consoles are likely tied here) The Scorpio does not do anything that helps any of the above three points. All it is is another option for Xbox gamers to choose but it won't make up for the 20+ million console lead the ps4 has. Ineffiable fucked around with this message at 12:39 on Mar 27, 2017 |

Honestly it really does perform pretty badly. It's not the greatest on a regular ps4, and even on a pro, it's less than stellar. Then there's the fact that the game mechanics are all outdated by like 5 years. It would have been a perfectly reasonable ps3 game but as a ps4 game, it's kind of weak. I still like it a lot, but I can understand why it's not everyone's cup of tea.
