Do not knock the MOST SIM golf game out there. :nod:

I have always been a big fan of the series but Clap Hanz does not exactly put out games at a timely pace. This one says 2016 in Japan, so there may be a longer wait in the US. Last console Hot Shots game was released March of 2008. This is not counting the World Tour port from the PSP in 2013, because it was not made for the console. Before that was a PS2 release of HSG Fore! back in 2004.

You give the Tiger Woods/Rory teams that amount of time to develop a game and I am pretty sure it would be on par (pun intended) with HSG.

So... is the golf focus gone and now it's a game that takes place in a park? Bizarre!Funny thing is it will rate better than The Golf Club and Rory PGA. People aren't sure what they want

So, I've been playing Xenoblade Chronicles (Wii) on the Wii U. It really is as good as people say. I'm glad I got the console version as opposed to the 3DS version as the game is way to big to really experience on a handheld.

[Rudy]

How many story based games are out there like Heavy Rain? I'm not crazy about them but it's something my daughter likes. She likes the cut scenes in Uncharted a lot. But I don't want a mature game either that is beyond what I want her seeing. Anything like Uncharted that has heavy cut scenes but is not beyond pg 13?

I'm 100% digital too. I have no use for buying, selling or trading used games and I never have. The best part about digital for me is not having to un-ass the couch to change games. Hell, as far back as PS2 I wanted a disc changer for just that purpose but since that was not an option I had a daughter instead and she did a great job as a disc changer.

Sometimes I see sale prices for games and I think "wow, that's a great price" but then I remember that it's a disc and either I don't buy it or I pay more for the download. :D

[SmoothPancakes]

Yeah, the pricing and lack of sales can be an issue, the convenience of digital is just much greater for me.

I never trade in games, and any I have in the past have been obsolete sports games. I get itches all the time to play old games. I still play old games that I bought 5 or 6 years ago. It's like old PC games. Hell, I was still playing stuff like Rome: Total War on my laptop before it died, and that released back in 2004. People still play their old SNES and other similar systems.

So it's like that for me. I just find a place to store my old 360 games (and some original Xbox games I still keep around) and when I get that itch to go back and play them, I can just pop them in instead of having to find another copy online somewhere.

Plus the ultra-convenience of being able to keep every single game I own on an external hard drive and take all my games with me on trips. I'm going to South Dakota in April to visit a friend who's wedding I'm best manning next fall. Check out their new house they moved into last year, see what Sioux Falls is like, etc. If he gets an Xbox One before then, I can take my nice little compact hard drive and travel with every Xbox One and BC Xbox 360 game I own and we can play them all on his system by literally doing nothing but plugging it into his console and signing in my profile.

So all digital definitely has its big advantages, especially if you're like me or Steeler who never trade in games. It's perfect for us and definitely less clutter around the house with a bunch of game cases no longer laying around.

[souljahbill]

I stopped being a Day 1 guy a long time ago (which I'll break for Mass Effect next year) so waiting for store price drops always works well for my pocket.

I can understand that.

I only buy a couple of games on Day 1 anymore. This year it has only been FIFA and MLB, I believe. Other than those the only ones I would consider, for the most part, are NHL (passed this year) and anything my daughter wants.

That said, I still don't want discs. The last disc I bought was GTA V on PS3 and that was like 2 years ago. The only PS4 disc I own is MLB 14 and that was because I got it free.

I am moving that way as well. Part of it is just laziness but I don't want to get up and switch the discs. LOL. Part of it is the convenience. Part of it is getting early access to certain games, etc. I will always love that act of opening up a new game and reading the instructions but times have changed...

Its interesting that this is a further along version of the situation we are in right now with EA Sports titles. In a few years I could easily see EA dumping Franchise mode and moving to 100% MUT/online play with an exhibition/play now as the only alternative.

[Rudy]

I disagree. Look at Fallout 4. People love to invest time in things. The RPG aspect that sucks people in there is similar to guys loving to track stats and build teams. NCAA Football was loved for dynasty mode. If fans are getting bored with franchise mode it's more of an issue with the company not doing it right. There will ALWAYS be a major need for franchise modes with drafts and free agency in sports titles imo.

I ended up snagging it cheap but will not install until the game is fixed on the consoles. It is not really sci-fi, more Hollywood stunt man with a wing suit and grappling hooks blowing up anything he can.

IGN's review pretty much covers what everyone is saying. Load times from hell (2 to 15 minutes have been shown) and frame drops to a crawl when you blow stuff up.


Console version got a 5.9 out of 10 (http://www.ign.com/articles/2015/12/04/just-cause-3-xbox-one-and-playstation-4-review).

PC version an 8. (http://www.ign.com/articles/2015/11/30/just-cause-3-pc-review)

Apparently shooting and driving are just as bad as the last two. The wing suit and grappling hook are the catch. Biggest sandbox to play in, by far but from the reviews the missions and time trials stuff is repetitive and boring.

What JB said. I have a number of friends that played it a TON and love it. They've since switched to Destiny all the time. But I tried playing World of Tanks for a bit, and I didn't really get the appeal. Slow, methodical, in-game purchases to enhance your tank or upgrade to other ones.......it is a teamwork, strategy game with tons of detail, so it takes a bunch of dedicated time and effort.

VR feels like a repeat of 3D Gaming/Kinect/Move/Waggle. It may have sold out, the first batch of Oculus Rifts but early adopters are easy to find. Getting the core base is a whole different ball of wax and at those prices...

EA avoided 3D games and they have said they are taking a "Wait and see" to VR. Things EA does not put their goodies on, tend to not do well.

I heard on the Cagcast what's needed to make O.R. work. It's essentially a $2,600 investment between the headset and the PC you'll need to get it working. It's doomed.

[SmoothPancakes]

To be fair, I think people had way too low of expectations on pricing of Rift and the other VR stuff. Expecting something like that to be $100 or $200 like I was seeing a bunch of people complaining online about after the price was announced is just naive. Hell, Sony's own VR product will probably be in the $400 range. I would be truly surprised if it makes it as low as $300. This stuff is more (and more expensive technology) than just a new controller or a random add-on hardware like the PS Move.

Look who is back from the dead. Maybe this will lead to Best Buy having deals again (outside of GCU).


New York area retail vets Ronny Shmoel and Albert Liniado are betting that the third time will be a charm for Circuit City.

The duo, now working under the name Circuit City Corp., acquired the brand, domain and associated trademarks in October from IT supplier Systemax, which bought them in a bankruptcy auction but abandoned the U.S. retail channel last fall.

Once the No. 1 big-box tech chain, Circuit City succumbed to a rapidly changing marketplace in 2008, and misfired in its second incarnation as an online-only sister site to Systemax’s TigerDirect.

This time, what Circuit City has in store is an ambitious, multi-tiered game plan that calls for retail outlets, web sales, branded and private-label products, licensed kiosks, mobile shops and franchise opportunities, all under the iconic red-and-white banner.

The fun is expected to begin in June when the company opens its first store, most likely in the Dallas market, and relaunches CircuitCity.com.

Targeted directly at millennials, the mix will include pre- and postpaid smartphones, as well as tablets, notebooks, wearables, networking equipment, gaming products, headphones, drones, 3D printers, health appliances, and DIY devices, all supplemented by a service desk, electronic price tags and touchscreen terminals that link customers with what is envisioned as a million-SKU selection online.

A new Battlefield game from DICE will launch in time for the 2016 holiday season, EA confirmed during a post-release call with investors.

The publisher also mentioned that a new Titanfall “experience” is on the way. Executives who have seen the work in progress described it as “fantastic”, but didn’t give a release window.

Mass Effect Andromeda wasn’t dated, either, but is coming “later in the fiscal year” – which makes it sound like it might make the holidays this year, or might slip into calendar Q1 2017.

[cdj]

A new Ghostbusters game coming out this fall to coincide with the movie.

“Ghostbusters” is also returning to video games. Already, the “Ghostbusters” sets are on sale for “Lego Dimensions,” a toys-to-life game featuring the classic building blocks and a new full-fledged “Ghostbusters” video game from Activision will release alongside the movie on the Xbox One and PlayStation 4.

Bought PES 2016 and the gameplay has converted me from FIFA. I even edited the two English leagues which took almost 2 hours since option files do not exist on this gen systems. At least on the PS4 you can copy all the custom made kits, logos, emblems but you have to manually insert them for each team.

Now to the upcoming DLC.

Konami to release DLC for Euro 2016. It's free so that is nice. It only has 15 of the 24 teams, which is not so nice. Only one stadium, Stade de France, even less nice.

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2016-02-22-pes-2016s-euro-2016-dlc-out-next-month


no licenses for Romania, Switzerland, Russia, Poland, Belgium, Republic of Ireland, Sweden, Austria or Hungary.


At least it is free. EA tried this same thing in 2012 and charged $20 for it. Even had one of the host teams, Ukraine, unlicensed.

Thank you, gentleman.

Steelerfan, that's the special addition of Fire Emblem Fates, a tactical/strategy RPG for the 3DS.

Well there is a bit more than that. Kinda left out whole "Soap Opera/Dating Sim" aspect of the game. Since you poked fun at me about DOAX3, here is what Bill will be doing with his 3DS.

Hitman Go is out today and it's like $6.50. Looks like a pretty fun little game.

It was cheap and looks pretty good so why not, bought it. I also caved in and bought Far Cry Primal. Need something to keep me busy until The Division arrives.

FCP looks interesting. Please share some thoughts on it when you get some time with it under your belt.

[bdoughty]

Will do, I hope to play some tonight. With no multiplayer, assuming you are into that, might be a big deciding factor into waiting for a price drop. It was my plan after cancelling my pre-order.

[JBHuskers]

I'm completely different on Hitman Go. I love it.

[JBHuskers]

Dead Island Collection up for pre-sale out on May 31st for $40, or $32 for the Prime members. Comes with the first two games and then a retro 16-bit side scroller.

As someone who enjoyed the first game and mildly enjoyed the second. Who exactly was asking for this? I could sorta understand if Dying Light did not exist but it does and pretty much blows Dead Island away in every aspect.

That EA cover curse is just killing it over this past year.

The UFC cover. 0-2 EA, might want to just stick Joe Rogan on it. To further lick sand in the face of Rousey being on the cover, Holly Holm lost her match too.

FiFA has like 10 different covers but this one is for Steelerfan. Oscar, the Brazilian cover plays for Chelsea. So there is that and he is also the most substituted player for the squad (http://www.getwestlondon.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/revealed-oscar-used-time-bench-10989422). Rarely making it to the final whistle.

Rory getting injured playing soccer with friends and missing the British Open. Marriage called off. Has not won on the PGA Tour since making the cover. He did have 2 PGA Tour wins in 2015 prior to the cover. Did win once in Europe at the end of the season and might pull off a win today at Doral.

The NY Football Giants, well they just jinxed the whole damn team.


Russell Westbrook seems to be holding up. All-Star MVP. Apparently the exception, not the rule.

[steelerfan]

Uh, like Oscar, 6 of the 7 Chelsea players subbed out the most are midfielders. They are very deep there which plays into that. Had Eden Hazard been on a cover, you might have something. He has been shit this year.

Besides, Oscar is not a megastar anyway. I'm sure EA just didn't have a big Brazilian alternative (Neymar is the PES coverboy) that was affordable.

Nice try, but it's a reach.

[JBHuskers]

Conor wasn't an EA cover jinx, he went up two weight classes to fight Diaz.

Vegas is usually really dumb when it comes to making money. Okay. You win. Let's also gloss over that Connor had not lost a match in 6 years and Diaz was a really late replacement for the match.

That would be amazing if it could be retroactively added into The Division! Then it would no longer matter if friends were on Xbox or PS4, you could roll with them regardless.

In the main event, UFC Featherweight champion Conor McGregor steps up two weight classes to take on Nate Diaz at Welterweight. Diaz is of course a late replacement for injured Lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos. Despite the change in weight, McGregor remains the easy favorite:

Decided to get Sheltered last night since I'm a sucker for post-apocalyptic games. It's pretty damn tough to keep everyone organized and happy, but it's a pretty fun game. It's like a combination of the Sims, Oregon Trail, and Fallout Shelter.

I thought they were promoting education for women. Why do we feel that women in the Muslim world need role models that are educated but women here do not?

It's a sad day when a female student can no longer be used as an uplifting source of inspiration for Americans of all ages. No wonder China is winning.

[jaymo76]

Gents,

I am in need of some cpu advice. My computer is a little over three years old. Specifically it's a Dell 8500xps (Windows 10, i5m 3,10ghz, 2tb storage, 16gb ram, etc). The system itself runs really well and it's great for most games. However, the video card is now starting to show its age (I have a AMD Radeon HD 7500. {1gb 5ddr} ). My system also has a power supply of 460W...

There is a game coming out that my oldest son and I really want to pick up... Planet Coaster.


Official minimum requirements for Planet Coaster alpha:
Windows 7 64bit or newer
Intel Core i5 -2300, AMD FX-4300 or better
8GB Ram
Nvidia GTX 560 / ATI Radeon 7850 Graphics card with 2GB of Graphics Memory or better


So any idea on what card I could pick up for cheap that will meet the needs of this game, not exceed space and power supply and not break the bank???

[gschwendt]

I'd probably recommend the Nvidia GTX 960. Good card, above entry-level but not top-end that it would break the bank.
http://amzn.to/1pEzDAp

I ran a basic calculation of your machine through this (http://outervision.com/power-supply-calculator) (some of it was based off assumptions) and it says with the 960 they'd recommend 358W for your supply so your 460W supply should be good.

Been playing a good amount of Sheltered on PS4. I think it's $15. I am having a lot of fun with it. As I said on a previous post, if you like post-apocalyptic games, The Sims, Oregon Trail, and Fallout Shelter, this is for you.

I'm so excited about the Game of Thrones S6 premiere that I finally bout the TellTale GoT game. I waited for a 360 sale but it never happened so I bought the disc from Best Buy because of my GCU discount.

Yeah it's more of a budget title, I'm sure if it was pretty, it would be hard to run well.

I have it on PC, and it's pretty fun, it's more low budget than H1Z1 which I prefer over all of them.

I picked it up from Best Buy yesterday. There's no game on the disc. The disc is just an unlock key for the season pass (Ep. 1 is free, 2-6 are for pay).

If we go to an all digital future, I'd love for games to be like this. B&M stores tend to have discounts faster on newer stuff sooner and no native storefront will ever offer a 20% discount off the top for being a repeat customer like Best Buy or Amazon.

Another poker game is on the way, it's free to play it looks like and it's got a story narrative to go along with it as you rise up through the ranks. I just got an e-mail to play the beta on Steam, but it's coming to XB1 and PS4 soon too.

Disney is getting out of game publishing, resulting in Disney Infinity being discontinued (http://www.disneyinteractive.com/blog/update-disney-infinity/).

IIRC, they just put out new figures for Captain America: Civil War and were talking about a new Star Wars set/series this morning. Expect big sales at some point for DI.

The question now is if Disney properties (Marvel, Star Wars, Mickey, et al.) will be licensed for use on LEGO Dimensions. I feel for the parents/families who shelled out big bucks on these toy-to-life items, only to have them pull the rug out on the developers and fans.

Those who purchase Activision and Sony Pictures' Ghostbusters Ultimate Bundle will receive FireForge Games' upcoming Ghostbusters game and a digital copy of the upcoming Ghostbusters movie, the companies announced today.

The question is which will be the bigger flop?

Played some 7 Days To Die on PS4. It ported over well from PC. It's basically Minecraft + survival + zombies.

Someone explain Furi to me. I try it and the first boss is taking forever and going nowhere. Part of our fight I'm supposed to be shooting him but he blocks everhlything and telephones away when I try to get close. It's never ending. I quit.

Lots of people talking about it and it's getting really high scores in reviews, around 9 out of 10.

[bdoughty]

I am with the guy in the video, looks boring. Some of those high review scores may be because the developer of the game was Tim Rogers, who was a pretty popular game journalist.

[SmoothPancakes]

After finally watching the video, yeah, count me in the Pass group. Doesn't even look fun.

We can't even get EA Access! Sony doesn't play nice.

They released both Marvel Ultimate Alliance games digitally on the new systems but I don't think they are remastered. No Dlc with first game but all Dlc with mua 2. But $40 for each and $60 bundle for both? That is expensive imo.

Due to heavy server traffic, we have temporarily implemented a sign on Queue for Destiny on all platforms.


Sign in Queue for the new Destiny DLC. :fp: How on earth can you not figure out how many people will be playing this by now? Already having three previous DLC's to guesstimate users. Not to mention there is a queue for every platform. Plus most people in the queue are just getting kicked out when reaching the end of the queue. :fp:

Crap! Mass Effect: Andromeda comes out in March and I'm sure Bioware is still doing voicework for it.

[Rudy]

Earned my second platinum trophy by finishing DAI on Nightmare. It was the only trophy I had left and I should have got it on my second play through if I wasn't stupid. This time I was quicker through the game and didn't bother with a lot of things to get it.

That's crazy that you've put that much time into the game. I've never been into a game that much to get ALL of the achievements/trophies. That's crazy.

1) Congrats
2) I've gotten ALL the achievements in all 3 of Bioware's other core franchise games, Mass Effect.
3) Did you play Dragon Age 1 & 2? When I get my PS4 Pro, I'm thinking of getting this as an appetizer for Mass Effect: Andromeda in March. Can someone who hasn't played the other 2 get into this one without knowing the backstory?

3 - definitely, it is its own story. DAO (Dragon Age: Origins) is SUPER good though and worth your time if you have the time to play it. It's like 35-50 hours though so it's a pretty big investment.

[Rudy]

I never played the first two DA games. I never really played an RPG before. I have played this game a lot but I still wouldn't rate it more than an 85. It's enjoyable but too many fetch quest type of things. The most enjoyable thing about combat is the sheer variety of abilities within and across each class.

I did post a helper link to this game earlier souljahbill if you want to read it. There is a one page writeup on the background and I think that helps when they start talking about Venatori and certain countries or things that you have no clue about.

It did take a long time to get all those trophies. This game requires effort to get the platinum. Only my second one and who knows if I'll ever get another.

1) Thanks. I'll get it. I don't need it to be great. Just functional and entertaining.

2) Start playing TellTale games. Just finishing a season will get you a Plat.

Got my disc copy today in the mail from Amazon a day early. I've played about 45 minutes. My kids are on the ps4 and kicked me off. I never played Skyrim before so I can't compare. But it's obvious this is a 5 year old game and not a new one. The graphics look like a ps3 port. I liked the story at the beginning but I don't like the map compass. I was confused lol. You can't switch to third person until after the opening act either. Just getting the hang of things.

I'm looting everything in sight. Have no idea if that's good or bad and I was terrible at lock picking too.

[Rudy]

Skyrim doesn't fit on my screen properly and I see no way to fix it. It's not brutal but it is off. My son did play a little while I was making dinner and said the game crashed on him. I hope it doesn't do that much.

I will get some time in tomorrow morning.

How does it compare to Dragon Age and Witcher 3?

[morsdraconis]

Based on what I've seen from videos, Witcher still looks better than it and it's about the same as Dragon Age: Inquisition, but Inquisition has WAY better models for people than Skyrim does.

[morsdraconis]

Watching more videos, it looks better, without a doubt, but it's really just view distance and lighting differences. Everything else seems to look exactly the same.

[Rudy]

How does it compare to Dragon Age and Witcher 3?

I can't compare the actual games yet. I like the soundtrack. Graphics are definitely not as good. I think the Uncharted collections looked better but this looks better than the subpar Tomb Raider "remaster".

I haven't really been outside much so I haven't been able to see the lighting. The combat is pretty basic so far.

I'm only level 4 and faced my first dragon. After 5-6 attempts I'm still waiting to kill my first dragon lol. I've been burned and eaten quite a bit. It's nice to actually face a dragon early in the game. In DAI it takes quite awhile before you can kill one or even run into one.

I like how seamless the main quests and other stuff is. It doesn't feel like a separate component. I like how there are villages and houses you can enter. It's a bit odd when I don't speak any of my dialogue choices. I'm used to that in DAI.

I've been caught stealing twice and both times paid the bounty. I will have to be more careful.

I did it on the 360. Pretty sure you should be able to do it on the PS4/XB1.

[jaymo76]

Well my xbox gold is expired so it was either this or gold... I went with Skyrim (sorry Bdoughty... Madden in November after my next payday). I have played about 10 hours and it is really a great game. It plays like Fallout 4 with the story of Witcher. I am really enjoying it. I just bought a house and adopted an orphan girl. I haven't figured out marriage yet. Sadly, two of my companions have been killed thus far. One I killed by accident and the other (Sven) I don't know what happened to him.

[jaymo76]

So there IS a reason why this feels exactly like Fallout 4. The reason is because it is Fallout 4! Apparently Bethesda ported Skyrim to the PS4/XBOX1 and then stripped it down to nothing and built Fallout 4 from the ground up. Wow!

Yup. It's Bethesda's dirt little secret.

Please have anyone in your real life family read what you just posted and then reply back. ;)

Don't worry about Madden, I sold it since my desire to play sports games has dwindled lately.

[Rudy]

You've already got ten hours in Jaymo? Wow. I haven't been wandering aimlessly enough. I had no idea you could adopt orphans. Have you killed that first dragon?

Edit: I have now killed two dragons. I did meet that girl I could have adopted but I had no home. I'm venturing north right now. I've seen a giant who promptly killed me. I just got killed by an ice troll.

I will say I think the Skyrim world is more realistic than DAI as actual towns and people are living in it. It feels more organic with the NPCs and exploration.

[Rudy]

Titanfall 2 looks fantastic. Son got it for his birthday along with Battlefield 1. Got both on sale for $50C. That's $30 off! Plus tax savings.

I've read people say Skyrim Remaster looks good but when you look at a true ps4 game (especially a second Gen game) it just blows the remasters out of the water. It's like taking a knife to a gun fight.

[bdoughty]

Well it is a remaster of a game that was released in 2011. Even Fallout 4 was not really a great looking game. It is serviceable but nothing that makes your jaw drop.

[SmoothPancakes]

To be fair, I wasn't expecting jaw dropping from Fallout 4. I mean, how jaw dropping can you make a world look that just fucked sideways by a nuke.

Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

[bdoughty]

Better textures and running at 60 FPS would have helped. Not disagreeing that the world itself should be beautiful due to the nukes.

[morsdraconis]

I say again, welcome to Bethesda, where the dirty little secret is "we reuse engines with low res textures and poor lighting models, add a bunch of new features to one of our franchises that we've milked for ages, and otherwise have a game that's exactly the same." Oh, and they can't write a damn main story to save their lives. Fallout 4 looks slightly better than Fallout 3, just like Skyrim looks slightly better than Oblivion (Fallout 4 and Skyrim being on the same engine and Oblivion and Fallout 3 being on the same engine). I swear I think the Skyrim "remaster" is just Bethesda taking a well known lighting mod for the PC version and importing the PC texture resolutions. Seeing numerous videos online of it, it looks EXACTLY the same besides better view distance (an easily changeable slider), and better lighting.
