  • Playstation 4

    Really tempted to get one myself. I barely touch my vive these days, it's always a huge effort to do anything with it. Every time I bring someone new to try it some shit happens and I have to spend a lot of time troubleshooting. I just have no time and patience to be fucking around with this every ime I want to use.

    Well, I'll wait a bit, hopefully the PSVR fixes most of my annoyances I have with the oculus and the vive (mostly the lack of standards and the constant troubleshooting). And also, I'm really stoked about proper sitting experiences, standing is cool for some kinds of games but not for the games that I want to play :)

  • Legacy of Kain series

    Soul Reaver was the shit, played half of Soul Reaver 2 and the mood just wasn't as cool as the first one. About time they make a proper Soul Reaver game again, doesn't need to be crazy epic, just a good platformer with interesting twists :)

    Great movie, very subversive, 9.5/10!

  • No Man's Sky

    If you compare trailers and game footage frame by frame, you can find notable differences and believe that the developer is a dishonest crook. But common, the essence of what was advertised was maintained in the game. The only major difference is that they added crafting/survival mechanics on top (it's questionable if they detract or add to the overall experience :P). Personally I'd love to try a sandbox mode with no artificial limits. Considering the amount of planets that they have, even if every one of us stays less than than 30 seconds in a given planet, it will still take eons to "discover" all the possible permutations.

    What I wonder is, how much of those decisions weren't influenced by Sony to make the game appeal to a broader audience?

  • No Man's Sky

    Well, here it comes, another video describing why you shouldn't like the game :P

    I've been having a really good time with the game personally and I'll write more about it when I'm done, but since we are in the subject of the backlash let's stay on that topic. I really don't get the hate this game is getting as I said. I've watched several of the old trailers and while some of the features didn't make it in the final game, the game I'm playing is very close to what I imagined the game would be like. I remember before the game came out the question on everyone's minds was what the hell do you do in the game? Well, you explore and survive, they always made this pretty clear. This is a game about exploration and discovery first, the other systems are there just to support that.

    NMS is a very niche game and unlike any other game I've played before. I think a lot of the rage comes from expectations that never made sense in the first place. Did people expect this to be a second life mmo in space? Star citizen lite? Or are people just plain delusional about current hardware capabilities and what games can do? I blame more Sony than the developers for releasing this as a AAA mainstream game, when it's clearly a niche game and should have stayed that way. I didn't even know the game would cost 59 until a few days before release, I always assumed it was a 29 game.

    The best way to describe NMS is the Mako missions from ME1 on steroids on procedurally generated planets with procedurally generated animals. You fly your ship looking for interesting stuff to discover. Does this sound appealing to you? Then give it a try. Otherwise move on and play other games, but please let's stop treating these guys as the anti-christ or something.

    Anyways, here are some interesting discoveries I made :P

    I want to upload all the screenshots I took so far (probably about more than 200 or something), there are some real gems in there :)

So all the people caught in the black hole generated by the hype machine interpreted this as you could indeed see other players but the chance being unlikely, when a simple "No" would have sufficed.

    His answer is pretty clear to me?

    I really don't get the hate this game is getting... The game I'm playing is very close to all the trailers I've seen from it.
