I'm glad more people will be able to play D4!

@stylon It was really janky when it first released on Ps4. I'm sure they fixed some of it before the Xbox One release though. I should try it out again now that I'm sure it has received a few patches.

Contrast is a pretty neat if flawed game. I enjoyed it on PS4 but I didn't pay anything for it.

@DRL I wanted the KI stick but it was so dang expensive. Plus SF won't be coming for Xbox One so I might as well get invest in a stick for PS4.

Nice review, Ken! I'll have to pick this up!

@EternalDragonX FWIW Ubisoft has made some of the best games ever. A few recent tarnishes don't erase Rayman Legends, Far Cry 3, Beyond Good & Evil, etc. from existing. They have a lot of talented people. Neither of the Ubisoft games made my list but I see why people are excited for them.

My personal #1 was Phantom Pain.

I... I don't know what to say about this.

I'm looking forward to renting the first game eventually. I dug what I saw in the Giant Bomb quick look but wasn't in love with it.

After watching a few Giant Bomb Quick Looks of Cricket games I almost understood what you do in this sport. Almost.

@stylon its probably not for you then. There are a lot of different systems in play so it gets pretty complex. I've spent dozens of hours playing these games and I don't understand how all the characters play :-/

@stylon do you like 2D fighting games? If so BlazBlue is pretty great.

Cool! I love blazblue!

@Gamer83 I might be misreading your post but why dismiss indies? I've been constantly entertained by downloadable games on the PS4.

@stylon Volition isn't working on the Saints Row IV / Gat out of Hell stuff though. I wanna say that is High Voltage.

Most of the time these games are not taking resources away. They're usually done by other studios or by small groups.

Plus a lot of these are just the PC versions moving over to consoles. Not a ton of retooling. As someone who prefers console gaming to PC, I like getting the chance to play these better versions. Plus these re-releases help fund future projects.

I am psyched about this. DmC was one of my favorite games of 2013 and I can't wait to replay it. Never touched the DLC so that'll give me some incentive to pick this up as well!

@stylon I don't see any problem with it. Especially when a lot of them are taking the place of GotY editions but with actual upgrades. If anything people should be pumped that better versions of games are coming out and more people can experience them. I don't see any downside.

Wish Capcom would just have CyberConnect2 make another Asura's Wrath game. They do a good job with these Naruto games but they aren't nearly as special.

Games with Gold isn't nearly the value that PS+ is but it has been getting better.

More games like Volgarr/STF please!

Great review Dave. I've been playing this on the Wii U and love the table!

@DRL Eh maybe I was in a bad mood when I rented it I now have a digital copy of it on PS3 so I'll have to give it another shot.

FWIW I don't think Microsoft publishing the game means its any more exclusive than before.

We've seen it before where they and other first parties published games and then they came to other systems

@sinalefa man, I really did not like how Puppeteer played or its story.

Love the art style though. Freaking gorgeous.

@EternalDragonX @stylon I think you'll be pleasantly surprised when you play the game. This was actually one of my favorite games from E3 this year

This is a complete blast to play. I hope everyone downloads it and has fun with it.

SO MUCH PEGGLE. I love it!

What a great get for Microsoft.

Weird seeing them promote a Bellator fighter for their game (Rampage) although it doesn't seem like he is very happy over there right now.

I'll be in bed when this happened but looking forward to seeing the results of the jury-picked categories.

@stylon of course a day after I post that Threes gets a price of $6.99 (its $2.99 on iOS) so... maybe you have a point

@crippyd I'm reviewing it for a website

I don't have a choice in whether or not I finish it. I've definitely quit games (that I was playing for leisure) before.

@crippyd Hopefully I dig it. Gotta play through it to completion regardless though.

@stylon I think most of the ID@Xbox stuff is fine. Stuff like Super Time Force, Volgarr, etc. have seemed rightly priced to me at least.

@DRL It was more of constantly getting booted from the game (it was plagued with some bad glitches when it first came out) than the difficulty. Because I was crazy addicted at first until I got sick of getting booted.

@DRL I beat all the normal missions but didn't get very far in the Rad campaign.

@vadersmyfather whoops! Fixed the article. Apologies.

One of my favorite Vita games!

Yay!

@stylon yeah I didn't even consider that but you're right that time period might not be the best choice. Oh well

I think next year's game is gonna be really great with how they've had another year to work under the Anvil engine. Plus the dev switch has me really intrigued.

Totally down for a game developed by the Freedom Cry team.

Looking forward to the review of Boom Ball. Not sure if I'll pick it up this week though but maybe later (providing its good).

@WayneDavies89 yeah it was a super short trailer. First one was like 5 minutes worth of stuff.

I had fun with Fighter Within for about 5 minutes when I rented it

Not a good game at all.

@EternalDragonX DOTA 2, League of Legends, plenty of MMOs like DC Universe Online, the original Spelunky, Blacklight Retribution, World of Tanks, Team Fortress 2, Hearthstone, Jetpack Joyride, Path of Exile.

And there are a ton more iOS games I didn't list. Acting like a game can't be good due to its price makes no sense.

@SuperKMx @EternalDragonX yup I have played some really great Free To Play games as well. Judging a game's quality on its financial strategy doesn't make much sense.

While there are games that do a poor job of implementing it and require people to pay money or grind hours to make any progress there are a lot of free games that get the balance right.

@EternalDragonX the bonus was one level out of 50. If you want to miss out on a great game over that then fine but I find that to be a little silly.

@crippyd yeah i'm kind of terrible as well but it was basically all I played on my Xbox One when I first got it (besides Forza and KI).

@crippyd PEGGLE 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That game is my jam!

@DRL I'd recommend you play Persona 4 Golden because its up there as my favorite RPG of all time but I doubt you have the free time to sink 80-100 hours into one game. There is a very easy difficulty where you can't fail though so maybe that would cut it down considerably? Still a long game, regardless.

But yeah this is one hell of a fighter if you dig Arc System Works.

Skipped on this last-gen since I knew a PS4/Xbox One version was inevitable. Glad I did. Can't wait to play it!
