I agree mate that's better than nothing, i don't have anything against it if people want to play it on ps4 anyway. I'm just confused this justify rebuying a game the full price. And especially that the customers who already bought it on PS3 are ok with it, when they would be pissed to pay for an update on steam. ( well ok it's called a DLC, but you pay it the price of a DLC ) You don't rebuy your car if your garage mechanic put a new chromed paint, a wing on the back and shiny pimp wheels.

I mean where is the customer respect my nice man

That was a proper port worth your money back then :

Damn i'm annoying, sorry. But that's because i'm not an enthusiast !!

You are not annoying. You have constructive criticism which is based on hard evidence. There's nothing wrong with that.

Quote from PogoP

I know exactly how you feel Koko, sometimes you can't voice a slightly more negative opinion around these parts, or everyone jumps on yer!

That's because you are a Ginger. Your opinion, positive or negative, is irrelevant because people will jump on you either way

Quote from Chimeray

Thief is at 50% on Steam and it was apparently already at a reduced price so it's only €15... WTF? Game came out only a couple of months ago Bought it obviously.

Reviews please! Like Furyo did. Really conflicted whether or not to start this. Would be appreciated.

Me, I'm trying to stay away from that threat cause my injury still is keeping me away from the gym, and that's making me sad panda.

Thanks and sorry to hear that. I figured you would be healed by now.

Quote from FrieChamp

The Netherlands beat Spain 5:1 and Germany plays 4:0 against Portugal. Terrible performance.

Portugal should be banned from international competition. No sportsmanship, all ego, faking, dirty play, terrible losers and especially that Ronaldo. What a horrible human being. I'm glad that the Germans humiliated them. Very good game from our neighbors. But I wouldn't expect anything else from zee Germans.

For Ronaldo, a perfect imitation:

Feeling the love guys, appreciated!

I was tempted, but Brazil played like shit anyway that day so I figured I should better stick around to avoid repercussions.

The next day we watched the Dutch game together. Luckiest mascot ever!

Congrats again

That's some excellent piece of advise. Thank you man!

Well, she's here. Just in time for my first father's day. She was born last Thursday an it has been a beautiful, stressful and exhausting time ever since. Everything went well and both my wife and my daughter are doing fine. It was a little scary because she lost way too much weight the first day but now she's eating like daddy. Speaking of losing weight, getting a child is definitively a good diet. I'm dropping weight like crazy!

Also, I have a new found respect for my own parents and parents everywhere. Because this is hard. Not sleeping and constantly being focused on her isn't the problem for me. It's that feeling of not understanding what she wants and what to do that frustrate and tires you. It's all so fragile and you are so inexperienced, it takes a lot of you. The first night my wife was knocked out cold, I hadn't slept for 2 days but I still had to do it. Standing there in my kitchen at 3 AM, my daughter crying in my hands, wouldn't eat, didn't need a change, had the right temperature, wouldn't calm down and I'm Googling on my phone on what the fuck to do now. That really does something to a man.

Anyway, the Core has always been good to me and this topic received a lot of attention so I prepared something for the Core. My wife had something made for my daughter, since it's father's day, which says: "Born to PS4 with Daddy". I made a promise a few pages back so without further ado, here's our newest member Jayden (which means "Gift from God", quite fitting after years of trying wouldn't you say?):

Quote from SuperDuperYeah

No ! NO ! Don't let this creep onto you man. Did you just try to ignore it before or you had like... a plan of action ? Some kind of trick when you felt like smoking ?

No I always go cold turkey. Which is doable but the lack of sleep weakens one's discipline. Still going strong though.

I'm only going to try this, after it's releases and I haven't seen a single complaint about it's performance. But who am I kidding? I already sold 2 Origin accounts. It's just not gonna click between Origin and me.

So, it's been 3 weeks. I'm at 102,3 kilo now. So that's 4,1 kilo's lost. Haven't really worked out this week (it's been crazy, almost no sleep at all) and it probably won't happen next week as well. Still, I'm on track. Avoiding junk food and soda is becoming easier. The downside is that my old smoking addiction is really catching up with me. I managed to avoid it thus far but strangely enough, that's the hardest part right now.

Quote from dux

I jsut watched the highlights and my god the spanish keeper was TERRIBLE. What on earth was he doing? And why isn't Holland in Orange? They need to be back in Orange.

Apparently FiFA asked them to wear blue, though I don’t know why.

Can't wait for tomorrows headlines. Plus, some of those goals were true eye candy! First van Persie and then Robben. That was some amazing football right there. We've written history tonight! Doesn't matter how it ends now it's already a success for all the Dutch. Oh how wrong the world, including me, has been. I'm proud of those boys!

Fuck Spain! This is not revenge, this is punishment!

There's so much technology out there, which wouldn't undermine the game, that could make matches fair. For years there has been an outcry for these changes but FIFA won't give in. Seeing all the controversies about bribing and the scandals linked to Blatter I can only conclude that these innovations are withheld on purpose. I wouldn't go as far as saying that it's premeditated but it does leave a lot of room to influence games. Seeing as how much money is made betting on them and the long rumored affiliations with said betting it does make you wonder.

Having said that, where only a couple of matches in and there's already a long list with referee mistakes. Especially the Cameroon match. Jeez, how many goals can you withheld.

Finally!

This looks awesome enough to justify having a thread of it's own. From the makers of Demon and Dark souls:

Couldn't sleep so I was thinking about this new Doom. They shouldn't have made it take place on earth. I know it's logical (Doom 3 was a remake of Doom 1 and this would be a remake of Doom 2: Hell on Earth). However, back in those days we didn't have the graphical power to accurately display earth in a game. So many games already take place on earth and I for one have a hard time imagining Doom on earth without losing that typical Doom feeling. Darksiders did it and although it was a great game, the earth sections we're definitively the weaker parts. Besides, as a sci-fi horror fan, I think it's a setting that's underused.

Instead they should focus on what made Doom 2 great. It was more open, it had bigger fights and a larger scale overall. I really hope they don't try to mimic COD and stick to smooth run and gun gameplay with hordes of demons. No RPG stuff please. Also, they suck at doing story driven stuff. If I were them I would take a good look at Aliens and the Dead Space games for inspiration. Make it a sequel to Doom 3 and have it start with a marine battalion being sent to Mars to investigate the distress calls. Have it take place on the ruined UAC basis and hire a talented writer.

For context I would start by focus on finding out what happened. After that, the focus should be on retrieving the gate that allows the demons to come through. You could make it that the marines have to retrieve that gate, get it on board of the ship so it can be shipped to a space station where scientist can figure out how to close it for good. Of course ending in sending you with the marines though and finish it off in Hell. This allows for a variation in settings (Mars, space ship and station (Dead Space) and Hell). I would have the game switch between moments you are alone (tension, horror) and moments you work with squads. This should help pacing. You could also use zero gravity for some awesome fights (again, Dead Space).

Drop in and drop out coop would be a given. Have players team up against the demons. Also, full fledged multiplayer, including a horde modus and of course mod support (which is unlikely due to IdTech5 it's nature). Biggest selling point would be massive fights that aren't scripted. So you got big set pieces but not the COD kind. Destructible environment, secrets and no more monster closets. Also, well lit environments (let it make sense) and dark where it needs to be. No switching between flashlight and gun. No mandatory vehicle sections please unless it works in the game's advantage.

That's what my Doom would be.
