Koray Savas 2,251 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 DRIVECLUB on PS4A fabulous racer IMO. I can't say what was wrong with it at launch but as it stands now, the game is too stupendously excellent it would be a crime for any racing fan to miss out on it.Graphics are mindblowing. The dynamic weather and time system is cool. The gameplay riveting and fun.I'm still not sure how the online portion is supposed to work, the whole club thingie. But on the whole Driveclub is not to be missed if you are into the genre.It's too Gran Turismo for my tastes. EA needs to bring back Burnout.

Wojo 2,453 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 That seems to be sold everywhere but the USA. It occurs to me that I should get one with macro support, so I can play Magicka. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 It's more GRID meets Need For Speed than GT. Gran Turismo is a driving simulator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I know, and DriveClub is nothing like Need For Speed. It's a simulator in that you're literally penalized for doing anything that could be deemed reckless in the slightest. Accidentally brush by another car? Can't accelerate for 3 seconds, or however long it is. Touch the rails or go off road? Fuck you, again! It's a driving simulator without any of the tuning or earning licenses aspects. A complete bore.Not to mention drifting is impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 Dunno, the arcadey handling feels pretty similar to Need for Speed and GRID to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamTheater 131 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Exactly. It's very accessible, much like Forza Horizon on X360.Both games feature A-B races which I prefer over closed circuit (Forza Horizon is open world by design).Closed circuit games such as Grid I only like when the handling's a good blend between arcade and simulation.Haven't touched a NFS game since the early days.

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 The rebooted Hot Pursuit and Most Wanted were great. Criterion Games will always be the best racing developer, for me. It's too bad they're done with racing entirely. I believe they're trying different genres now. Burnout Paradise remains my favorite racing game.

DreamTheater 131 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Oh wait, I played the first Most Wanted on Xbox, that one was alright.I like a bit of crazy racers as well such as Burnout Paradise, and I've always had a soft spot for the Flatout series. Flatout 2 on PC is awesome !And who played Carmageddon when that came out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreamTheater 131 Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 SPINTIRES (PC)This game absolutely kicked my ass when I first started it, but since getting the hang of it after a good 8 hours, it's addictive, fun, and a total blast to play.The concept is simple yet brilliant, drive trucks and awesome big-wheeled monsters through a variety of terrain, unlock other rigs and complete the main objective, which is to deliver wood.Boring, stupid, easy you say ?

In Witcher 2 the areas were very small and could not be considered an open world. Apparently Witcher 3 is a full open world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,399 Posted March 6, 2015 Author Share Posted March 6, 2015 Yeah, it uses the common RNG (Random Number Generator) system. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_number_generationI hope they never change it.Not sure "stupidly random" makes any sense.

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 I'm fine with random loot, but there needs to be a tier system. So killing some random grunt on a planet and some tough beast in a strike shouldn't be able to drop the same thing.Like that chest in the Vault Of Glass which always gives you that grass pedal item, can't remember what it was called. That's not even random since it always gives out the same thing. They need more consistency, is all I'm saying. On the other hand, if there was enough varied content in the game perhaps it wouldn't be that big of a deal, but there isn't.I just read an article the other day explaining why they shut down the loot cave, because they said that players didn't realize playing the game normally actually dropped more loot. That's utter BS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamTheater 131 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 I'm itching to get an Xbone and the Halo collection. Though I already own all the games on the previous consoles, I just need to buy them again. I'm a fan of the single-player campaigns and I'm in it for the mythology.Besides, I'm going to need that machine when Halo 5 comes out. Can't think of anything else I would like to get at the moment. Wait... there's Forza Horizon 2 (right up my alley).Maybe I'll get one when there's a reduction in price. Then again, I won't want to wait.

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 I've actually been wrestling in my head whether to buy a non-Sony console since the GameCube. The Xbox bundles just suck right now. If they literally had any two random exclusive games over the two AC games I already own I'd probably jump on board. It might be best to wait for the price drop/slim model in a couple years though.

DreamTheater 131 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Yeah at this rate our hard drives will fill up fast.It's better to have these enormous games on disc anyway, to be able to play it while it's still installing. A major advantage of the PS4.You can always just delete a game when space runs low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted March 7, 2015 Author Share Posted March 7, 2015 The latest patch for Elder Scrolls online is 20gb.

Sweeping Strings 2,363 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Was enjoying Alien : Isolation until I ran into a group of survivors who take an instant homicidal dislike to your character.

Have so far been unsuccessful at getting past them without getting killed, and therefore haven't went back to it in a while. This just happened to me lol. I knocked one out but couldn't pick up her gun then got mowed down by the others. These types of horror games wear thin incredibly easy, I have to be in a very specific mood to play. I instantly turned it off and put in GTAV. Sweeping Strings 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted March 8, 2015 Author Share Posted March 8, 2015 I think I got past that part with a bit of experimentation, it wasn't anything particularly unusual. But yeah, the game clearly isn't straightforward or shallow in its systems. You have to think and have a degree of patience.It felt fairer for example than Outlast, which was basically just a game of trial and error.

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 I loved Outlast. I don't recall ever having trouble figuring out where to go or how to get there. But again that wasn't an issue with Alien, I just wasn't feeling it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamTheater 131 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Decided to get me an Xbox One. There's a sweet bundle with Halo Master Chief Collection right now, so I couldn't pass it up. The Halo fanboy in me simply couldn't resist.I don't care I've played these games before. I could never not enjoy them.Seeing I played Halo CE Anniversary + Halo 2 on Xbox 360 recently, I'll just dive into Halo 3 and Halo 4, followed by Halo and finally the remake of Halo 2.No MP for me... Maybe in the future I'll give it a go, but it's no priority right now. I only tried some online Halo 3 back in the day.ODST is supposed to come out later this year as DLC and hopefully Reach will follow. They are very much essential in the Halo universe.
