PS4 Amazing features

All Sony had to do is announce that there console was going to work just like all previous consoles and they get a standing ovation with such innovation.


Don't get me wrong, this is great for gamers its just sad that it even had to come to this but at least people aren't letting Microsoft go unpunished with the DRM policy's they are trying to enforce.

Still the PS4 requires a fee ( yearly/monthly ? ) to be able to play online games, this alone makes me not interested in it. As most of these games are Peer 2 peer setups so effectively your paying them the right to host and join games which on the PC was always free.

The Stick of Truth E3

The visuals in this game are some of the best so far, why ? because its accually southpark in game form, not some crazy 3D hybrid. Also it looks so much better than Dragon Age 3.

Dragon age 3

I wondered about posting this or not, but really, its a chance to make fun of Dragon age 2


I love how almost everything from E3 this year says 'Actual game footage' but most of these trailers lack any game play what so ever.

The trailer doesn't contain anything that makes me want to get, play or even try the game. I vaguely recognise characters from Dragon Age 2 but that game was so terrible that I only played less than a hour of it. Then the end part where they show Morrigan or Flemeth or who the hell it is just makes me want to roll around on the floor laughing. The visuals are horrid and the animation is really poor on that character.

To top it off I think I read they are making a open world. In Bioware terms that means a hub with 4 pathways instead of 1.

Wow, I guess Dragon Age 2 has still doing a lot of damage with the way I see Bioware.

Oh yeah Bioware, make sure you add a two awesome buttons, then spout videos on how great it is then sell it as day one DLC.

Witcher 3: Wild Hunt trailer

This is the best thing to come out of E3 so far, of cause microsoft paid good money to have it at there stage. In fact most of there games they showen are coming to the PC. If I was a publisher, I wouldn't lock any exclusivity with the XBone. It seems a bit too much like Windows 8.

Its also coming to the PS4 but why would you touch those locked machines when you can have a DRM FREE version on the PC which supports mod tools and improved graphics ?

Deep Silver Saints Row 4: Price Gouging

I was keen on getting Saints Row 4 after the last trailer, that was until I saw this on Steam, see if you can spot the difference:



The top one is the price that appears if I log in via steam, the bottom on is shown if I look at the steam site without logging in. Basically they are slapping $20 USD onto the price just to sell it to New Zealand.

This isn't steam but the publisher Deep Silver who is Gouging us. Saints Row 3 from THQ didn't have this non-us tax slapped on.

So I will not be buying the game, I will also not be pirating the game as I have just lost all interest at this point but I know it will get pirated a lot more because of this.

Deep Silver aren't the only ones practising this scam on steam. As shown here, only Bohemia Interactive and Sony aren't ripping us off. 2K Games, Bethesda, Sega all should be ashamed of themselves.

Guildwars 2: Dragon Bash Fesitval

In Guildwars 1 it was the Dragon Festival, 200 years on the festival has changed a bit, since the dragons became dicks.
