damn... My PS4 has been collecting dust for about 4-5 months now.. Couldn't get into infamous.. and the last game I played was MGS5.

NBA 2K14 was too complex... so maybe i'll trade that game in for something...

2k14 was one of the easiest sports games I ever played. I never used the stick trick shots. It took a bit to get used to how to run around and block with your player but after that it's all the same. I traded it in too with other games for something else.

god damnit, the more i read about driveclub, the worse and worse it sounds...

http://www.giantbomb.com/reviews/driveclub-review/1900-677/

quite a few of those paragraphs in his review just make me scratch my head about the direction this game took. considering all of the hype around this game, it really sounds like it isn't even close to living up to it. they hyped this game up as "THE" next gen racer, and it seems far from that.

i still can't wait to try out the ps+ version though. i really hope they get it up by tonight so i can try it out tonight.
Which is precisely why I want an Xbox One, Forza 5 and Horizon, especially for Horizon. To me, Horizon is the perfect mix of Arcade and Sim.

The reviews on Drive Club I've read have been middling. Glad I didn't rush to download it given all the problems. Makes me wonder what kind of state it was in that originally got it delayed.

I'm not a huge racing fan anymore. Think I'll wait for Gran Turismo PS4, which I'm sure will be out by 2020.

They need to make another burn out game for next gen. I miss that series.


Unfortunately that's not happening, the devs are working on some new extreme sports type of game, like adrenaline junkie type of vehicle game.

The game is starting to grow a bit more on me as I get better at handling the car more precisely. But like I mentioned before, I love the old school racers compared to many of the modern ones for some reason but maybe this is one of those games where gamers have to play it for a while. most of the reviews..including my own, seems to be initial reactions, perhaps being spoiled from other racers we're used to?

I'm almost interested in NFS Rivals on PS4 too but not sure, think I'll just tough this one out until the Crew comes out but the graphics in DC will probably spoil me for most racers.

rivals is fucking terrible. i bought it for $20 and played it for like 45 minutes and never played it again. it's really really bad.

i've also found it amusing how the sony fanboys aren't crying about driveclub being 30fps, but if any game on x1 is 30fps they bash it lol. just been reading a lot of forums/threads today and it's pretty funny.

Hm, could really post about this one in many different threads given its release platforms, but... Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions will be coming out on November 25 (PS3, PS4 for NA only and PC for all) and November 26 (360 and X1 for all regions and PS3, PS4 for Europe) (link). :awe:

I loved Geometry Wars... I'm skeptical of the changes they made in this one though. I'm hoping it's good... but I'm worried.

I'll watch some one stream it on ps4 first, as long as it looks fine and they don't have any major problems I'll get it.
They cube rolling around looked crazy but pretty cool. You have to do new things, especially with arcade games

well that is the problem i kind of have with it - it's NOT new. it's the same thing that has been done with super stardust.

gw2 was a fresh take on gw1 for sure. i liked the new modes. i'm not saying it is easy to come up with new ideas, but i just wish i got the fresh vibe from gw3 that i got from gw2 when i first saw it.

but chances are if it's $10 or $15 i'm going to get it regardless. probably on x1 though because the controller is better to me, especially for games requiring both analog sticks at the same time.

I'm pretty sure he means something new with the series. I also don't really care if Super Stardust did something similar. It looks like some of the important aspects still exist such as the quick power-ups, which we all know Super Stardust does not do. We also only saw one game mode (Attack)... albeit, I think the cube thing is going to be a mainstay, so that probably doesn't matter.

Ultimately, let's just not go all TotalBiscuit on this. As much as I like his stuff, it just comes across as incredibly asinine whenever he talks about Resogun: "I played Defender 20 years ago; why do I need to play Resogun?"

Some single platform owners enjoy bashing anything that's not to their preference. Gamestops console wars forums is the funniest and most immature stuff I've ever read but likely they are not crying about it cause they don't notice the difference much, nor do I. They only bash the difference in numbers. If Dclub was also on Xbone and it got 60fps instead, that alone starts the match despite neither side probably even would notice the difference. Some of us just aren't that sensitive to frame rates or maybe it's to do with buffers or some such I dunno.

I could make up any number for a performance difference between a PS4 and Xbone game on a chart and make it look like it's real and that alone would do the exact same thing between the fanboys.
Likewise, if I did such a chart to an upcoming game that showed a console outperforming a PC version or having some features or details that the PC version did not contain.....that also starts a huge flame war.....and I've done it before on another forum a few years back which was hilarious for me but I think all those guys just enjoy bashing other platforms period.

No one can deny that the PS4 is more powerful than the Xbone, it's just how it is and any multi platform game I'm going with the PS4 version............ BUT the PS4 doesn't have games like Dead Rising or Forza Horizon. There are good reasons to own both.

i'm the opposite with multiplatform games - i'll be getting them on xbox1 because xbox live is superior in my experiences, the controller is better to me on x1, and i have more friends who play on x1.

and after things like the driveclub network issues, whether it is psn related or not (doesn't seem like it has anything to do with psn and strictly the servers for the game that are either ran by sony or evolution), it just totally reaffirms my feelings about anything network related on the sony platform. whether it's fair or not to blame sony for that is up for debate, but in my eyes it's simply another issue with the network on sony's platform.

Well destiny has had very few issues on ps4 and that is a completely online game. That tells me it is the developer more often than not anymore.

Forza 5 and horizon 2 both have had server issues and that isn't the fault of XBL.

that's great. i don't care about destiny so it's irrelevant to me. the genres and games i have played and like have tended to be a lot better online experience wise on ms than sony platforms, including games i own on both platforms (iterations of sf4).

and i haven't experienced any issues with horizon 2 online so no qualms here about it.

That wasn't even the point...but ok. You're still talking about PS3 BTW...that is what is irrelevant to the conversation here.

There were many issues with Horizon 2...VIP was broken for days, couldn't download paint schemes, cars that should be free were not, rewards weren't going out properly, game taking 5minutes for some people to see how many credits a race gave them. Lots of problems and it was all over their forums, twitter, and gaming news sites. Doesn't matter if it didn't affect you, it did in fact affect thousands of players who paid extra for car packs and VIP benefits that completely did not work. The entire point was that XBL wasn't the issue, it was Turn 10 who's servers weren't working correctly. Destiny was an example of a game that was completely online and didn't have that many major issues on PS4. This was to illustrate that PSN via the PS4 is not the choke point at all.

There's good reason to own them all. Gaming is actually a cheap hobby compared to many. Spending around a couple grand or so for a decent PC and all the consoles and even portables is cheap compared to rebuilding a classic car or serious RC hobby.
Some gamers have no trouble spending $500 for a new GPU just due to one over hyped, graphical game that's about to release so surly $400 for a console even if it's just for one game isn't much different.

I have them all except for the WiiU only because I'm just not interested in what's available but I have the 3DS.
