@Faaip I'd reinstall it to help an ally out. Whats your PSN? When are you free?

@Faaip Cool. I've got hockey tonight but will try to hit you up tomorrow after work (6ish Eastern). My PSN is NateGrigs

This thread just popped up on NeoGAF today about a bogus review of the nes in 1986: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1250775

They say to pass on the nes in favor of atari 7800 or the soon to be released sega system. I don't know if we can post links on here but I thought it was too timely to pass up.

Yeah I've always found this a little funny....but, to be fair, something like 90% of the human race lives in the northern hemisphere, so it makes sense to stick with our terminology.

@TheMarcV said in Bethesda VP: The Evil Within and RAGE merited follow-ups:

Didn't play TEW but I was a really big fan of RAGE. I would agree though that the cities just seemed a little too empty and quiet. I really mostly enjoyed the FPS, I loved the weapons and the different things you could build like turrets, deadly boomerangs and those spider robots. The AI was so fun to fight against since some of the enemies would climb on walls, juke and dodge your attacks. Then add in the game was really beautiful and I just really enjoyed messing around in it. Id be very interested to see a sequel or even a cheap remaster since the game had a lot of texture load in on PS3.

I agree with all of this. Rage was a great game despite its issues (and horrible ending). Decapitating enemies with the bladed boomerang was awesome.

Most of it is console war BS. People (especially faceless voices online) will crap on anything for no reason....But I do have concerns about this iterative model that manufacturers seem to be moving toward. I'm a console gamer mostly for the convenience, and a big part of that is knowing that the $400 I drop on a console will give me 5 years of access to the newest games. Now I'm not so sure. Will devs target the scorpio/pro and gimp the xbone/ps4 versions? $400 every 3 years instead of 5 makes the pc price tag a bit easier to swallow.

@mattlandry

Yep I agree.

Unfortunately, people will grab a hold of any perceived weakness and trash anything that they can. The internet has created a culture of raining on parades that you just gotta ignore. People watching a compressed stream on their 1080p monitor and concluding that 4k hdr doesn't add anything is a perfect example.

I have almost no hype for the launch of PSVR. Even if VR is the real deal, the 1st gen will be rocky. I'll wait till the nausea factor is overcome, the resolution/graphical fidelity is improved, and they start making real games (instead of novelties that can only be played in short bursts).
