Ugh, the internet.  Sometimes I wonder why I even bother.  I posted a comment on an EG article about Playstation crossplay, saying Playstation would just buy Xbox and Nintendo, rebrand them PS Green and PS Red, and allow crossplay like that.  My post got negged so many times it got automatically hidden from view.  How can people not see that as the simple attempt at comedy that it is?

To add insult to injury, someone with an even worse sense of humour then commented that the only way that could happen is if MS bought PS and Nintendo, as they are the only ones with the cash to do so.  That comment is so besides the point that it physically hurts just trying to come up with a witty yet diminuative riposte.  And then this guy gets upvoted!

Humanity has failed me.

I got a warning from Nintendo for writing "Poop" on a Splatoon post.

Someone reported my post because it said Poop.

Well I know of at least one person here who will be very happy with the hamster in a mech suit for Overwatch.

Well it’s certainly not me! How am I supposed to fit a hamster in a mech in my butt?  🤔

Very carefully.

I just finished Yooka Laylee.

Well, the game is definitely a cool throwback to the N64 days and has the same charm and cool touches that those games did. But unfortunately, it doesn't quite have the same polish and doesn't hit the highs that those games did. I mean, I guess I can't really blame them...it must be hard to try to match that level with a very small team relying on crowdfunding instead of being backed by billions of dollars. In a way it's amazing it's even close.

I feel Playtonic have the skill to really grow with future games though. Most of the problems here revolve around dated mechanics and unnecessary fluff. It actually has the exact same problem that Recore had, where the first 75% of the game is great and flows wonderfully. Then, they try to force an absolutely horrid fetch quest on you like it's 2003...and the final boss once you get there is one of the most frustrating bosses I've ever experienced in a 3D platformer. I cannot stand when developers try to fluff a game with a fetch quest...especially when you're given no clues whatsoever on where you should be looking. Wind Waker did it, Metroid Prime 2 had a terrible one...Rare's own Jet Force Gemini had a bad one. And now this game.

The good news is that most of the game is very enjoyable. That great humor that these guys are known for is back. Likeable characters. Some really cool level designs, and some neat bosses outside of the final one. Should be cool to see what they do next.

Anyone here fond of the original Silent Hill? Seems to have been lost a bit in the shadow of Silent Hill 2.

Yes! SH1 is still the best one. 2 is so damn boring, horrible case of story over gameplay. SH1 is better in almost every way.

I tried to get a new copy on Ebay and missed out. I'm not too interested (at least not before your review) but think it is interesting enough to beat if I can pick it up for under $25.

I'm considering getting the Mario+Rabbids DK DLC.  I couldn't care less for the story or humour, but the gameplay was pretty solid, especially in later missions, and this extra content seems to just up the ante even more.  It's also supposedly rather lengthy, about half of the main game.  Plus maybe my son will also play it, effectively doubling the value I'll get from it.

That's pretty hardcore dawg.

I still need to play 2. Certainly the story is the only thing anyone mentions about it.

I'm now onto the Resident Evil Remaster, and getting rekt by the camera and aiming controls. Any tips, or do I need to stop trying to climb the proverbial mountain?

Did you never play the old games? Tank controls are relative it becomes second nature for me to control them, you kind of have to rewire how to control the character. Aiming should be auto, just aim and it should lock onto an enemy, fire away. You can aim up or down but straight ahead is best in most cases. Shotgun aim up, let zombie get close for instant beheading and no chance for crimson head.

For July PS+ isn't really offering anything I want for the PS4, but for the PS3 they've got Deception IV. I had completely forgotten that game had come out. I'm all over it like sticky on the floors at a glory holes.

They actually released Deception 4 on both PS3 and PS4....so are they offering both versions free? I've had it on my wish list for a long time.

What's everyones opinion on Quantic Dreams these days?

The types of games they create are very niche and not for everyone. I think people like us that can appreciate the finer details in things tend to like QD's stuff more than the average joe. I mean, they're never going to be mainstream...they're so lucky they get the backing of 1st-party publishers to push their shit, otherwise I think they would be very under the radar.
