Koray Savas 2,251 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Lame! Well, when you do let me know. Also definitely check out The Last Of Us. It's a third person shooter but I feel like you would be able to appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wojo 2,453 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 How does Sid Meier's Civilization V played for somebody who is new to RTS games.Civ V is turn based strategy, not real time strategy. While I stopped with Civ IV, my first turn based strategy was Civ II so you should be fine. The big difference about V is that it adopts a hex based board like a tank game instead of the standard grid of the past games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wojo 2,453 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I just picked up Endless Legend on the Steam Sale but I haven't played it yet. Also got Sins Rebellion for the Star Trek Armada 3 mod. Both of those are real time, but what they call 4X. RTS like Starcraft and Age of Empires series are just normal 4X. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,399 Posted January 23, 2015 Author Share Posted January 23, 2015 You made it sound like Gears of War.Depending on the mode one chooses, there's relatively very little shooting in The Last of Us.Third person adventure is how I'd better describe it.

Wojo 2,453 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Third person shooter defines the mechanics rather well. Sure it puts the game in the same category as any GTA game after 3, but if someone has a hangup with third person, they'll stop right there. At least Skyrim had a toggle.

Quintus 5,399 Posted January 24, 2015 Author Share Posted January 24, 2015 Do they call Tomb Raider a third person shooter? No they don't. Yet there's a SHITLOAD of shooting in it.Even on easy difficulty there's still less shooting in The Last of Us than there is in the last Tomb Raider game. On the two highest difficulty tiers there is, as I said, relatively little shooting - certainly not enough for it to be labelled a "shooter".I don't know anyone who calls Uncharted a third person shooter, either.Third person shooters: Gears of War. War for CybertronBinary DomainThe ClubVanquishThird person shooter defines the mechanics rather well. Sure it puts the game in the same category as any GTA game after 3, but if someone has a hangup with third person, they'll stop right there. At least Skyrim had a toggle.This is wrong. True third person shooters have considerably tighter shooting/aiming mechanics than the likes of Skyrim and GTA to the extent that the distinction when in the hands is immediately tangible. Even games which feature fairly competent shooting gameplay such as Uncharted or The Last of Us are still no match for the slick precision you find in something like Gears of War or Vanquish - titles where the mechanical action of aiming and shooting is honed to feel like the pinnacle of third person shooting and which the rest of the mechanics (cover, traversal) are completely built around. The same could never be said about GTA or Skyrim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is like calling Killzone a first person action game because its mechanics aren't as fluid as COD.Speaking of The Last Of Us, however, I am going through my Grounded+ play through. Took me a good hour to 90 minutes to beat that section with David and the clickers. God almighty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Mark 3,631 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 PS4 all set up to play Dragon Age InquisitionI did have to make a basic PSN account (not the PSNplus so I can't play online) to get the game patches and redeem the code for Last of US. Sony better not get hacked againWith the PS3 the game updates were automatic just going in but now it seems a manual optionI also had to fiddle around in the menus to get Optical 5.1 Dolby Digital. Heck even the xbox360 detects that automaticallyAlso I got scared while trying out the Blu Ray drive. I was looking at the opening of Raiders and when the tarantula creep on Satipo there's some weird blurriness. I thought it may be the disk drive may be defective but it also does that on my PS3 so is something wrong with the mastering of this film?I got a Niko charging base and plan to get an extra controller so I always have one charged.

Not Mr. Big 4,639 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 The Raiders blurriness problem is with the film itself. And I think you can play The Last of Us and other downloaded games without an internet connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realize it would be released so soon but woohoo! Cool! I've been a big fan of the game and score ever since it first came out. I didn't pick up the soundtrack album back then because ordering online and international shipping were still new, expensive and scary to me, and now it's of course long out of print. Very much hoping for a release of the new recording. With the PS3 the game updates were automatic just going in but now it seems a manual option Does that mean they finally no longer force me to wait for half an hour for it to update whenever I have friends over and just want to quickly play a game with them? karelm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marian Schedenig 8,208 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Perhaps the European stores didn't scale well.

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 No you're right. After they made the huge overhaul in the way the store looks it was nightmarishly slow on PS3. It would take me 3 minutes just for it to load up. Such a deterrent that I actually stopped going in there to buy stuff. Thankfully they added the store online and on PS4 it's seamless.KM, go to notifications and scroll to downloads to see everything that's been downloaded. It usually pops up when you load a game to let you know an update is being downloaded in the background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Mark 3,631 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Wow I figured out the PS4 webbrowserIt greets you with an error message "page can't be displayed" (that says to test your connection or call your ISP) but it's because there's no home page (or missing today for whatever reason). I have to skip that page then I I have a small window on the top right corner where I can type an URL and search the web (that works). I can then make bookmarks that but I haven't figured how to make a home page (if you even can).This has got to be the worst designed piece of shit browser everAnd so far I also absolutely hate the "Options" button on the PS4 controller, It's flush with the surface and I have trouble finding it all the time because I can't feel it.
