The Old PlayStation Thread | *NEW THREAD IS UP*

Pretty good insight. I know it's preference but if you have played Infamous: SS, are you enjoying Watch Dogs more?


I haven't played my PS4 so I'm thinking either this or wait for TLOU if it really is coming out next month.


yes i own both. I mean i cant give a true comparison cause i dont want to do spoilers. But these two games are in my rotation. And MLB (i dont count that cause its a sports title and totally different).. I mean its a good game. Is it a "must have" no!!! Well in my standards. Is it a game thats fun and enjoyable...YES!!! The side missions and smartphone games (using the game smartphone, and using YOUR smartphone are kinda lame) The multiplayer is meh.... But the actually mission, single player plot game is good. It will be some parts that will frustrate you and as you play it you will be like...well damn this would have been great if they did xyz. Or damn they shoulda added this element. But considering action/adventure games for ps4/ps3 current its the best recent game out. I have given wolfenstein a full try and its like a step above dead island riptide...and a step below far cry..

Repped. I'll probably get it then.
 
I might not cop Watch Dogs now. I don't want another unleaded GTA again so soon smh.
Yeah, I wouldn't advise on picking it up, especially not for $60. $20, maybe. Rockstar set the bar too damn high. Another video showcasing why R* are the kings. These may seem like nitpicky details but all of this adds up to the immersion of the World. I think the reason why everyone is being really hard on this game is because Ubisoft proclaimed all these next gen features and didn't deliver on any of them. 

 
[h2]EA SPORTS UFC Hands-on Impressions[/h2]
EA said that the UFC series won't be an annual title. They're aiming for a 18-22 month cycle for each game.

EA also promised that there will be free roster updates for fighters not currently in the game (like TJ Dillashaw) in addition to DLC fighters and that they will be providing updates for the game on a consistent basis.
 
Just beat Grounded Mode plus on TLOU. Some parts were frustrating, especially the cabin and the sniper part in the burbs, but managed to breeze through the rest.
 
I picked up Watch Dogs early because of the 3-day weekend, despite my reservations about it.

The game is fun, but pretty shallow.

The structure is how you'd guess; a yellow marker pops up on the map for a mission... you complete it... you get a call on your phone, hear a convo, and another yellow marker pops up somewhere else. Side missions and rival hackers also pop up.

The controlling devices aspect isn't anything special. You just push Square to raise a bridge, change traffic lights (and cause an accident), blow steam pipes, raise spikes, etc. as you pass them. If you're in a chase, just push square every time you pass one of these to cause destruction. Cool, but it's the same thing over and over.

As for hacking, it's pretty pointless; you can look into people's lives for really no reason on the street. At most, hacking is just a way to put obstacles (locked doors, semi-puzzles where you control security cameras) in your way during missions.

The city is well done and visually immersing. But one of the things that made GTA V so immersing overall was that the missions really made use of the world, and made you do different things that made you feel a part of it. In Watch Dogs, the open world city just seems a little more in the background to a shootout in the railyard, a car chase, or a jailbreak.
 
Does Watch Dogs deliver on its stunning E3 2012 reveal?



Does Watch Dogs truly deliver on the promise of its initial E3 2012 reveal? The short answer is yes. Cutting away the obviously pre-rendered CG inserts at E3 2012 leaves a slice of gameplay that is indeed a close match for the final game. In fact, the finished game comes out of the comparison very favourably, because that original demo only represented a tiny fraction of the overall offering; Watch Dogs as it ships is an ambitious project with a massive cityscape to explore and a vast array of tasks to carry out. The only downside is that, on a conceptual level, this still feels like a game that takes the template established by the last-gen Grand Theft Auto titles and merely embellishes it - often dramatically - as opposed to completely reinventing the genre in the way that many might have hoped. Whether it's the true next-gen experience you wanted is down your expectations, then, but on a technical level we do not feel duped by the original reveal.

More at the link as to how they got to their conclusion at the link.

The game has flaws but overall the downgrade might have been overblown. This is only the PS4 version though so we won't see how the others fair until the face off.

Impressive. I havent given that a shot yet but I know its gonna be a struggle with no Listen mode.
