  1.  

    I bought a PS4 and have spent a decent amount of time with it. Great interface, wish it was backwards compatible though with at least PSOne games to hold me over until some new AAA PS4 game comes out.

     

    I was looking around my man cave and realized every Sony system I have in there can play Final Fantasy VII-IX except the PS4. Shame really.

    Sony is supposedly scrapping the backwards hardware compatibility format for a monthly online library subscription to legacy PSN games I believe, from what I've read ... is that still in effect if anyone can confirm?

     

    Yes hardware compatibility was scrapped, they are going to integrate the PSN service with Gaikai's streaming service (remember onLive?) so that you can play your PS1/PS2 games through a cloud service, eventually leading the way for PS3/Vita cloud gaming as well. It's still speculation atm (the service is expected to start in the second half of the year) and I'm fairly certain that even if you own the game you're still going to have to buy it again a second time on the service.

     

     

  2. You can clear the late-game area's right from the start after the tutorial. It isn't easy however and I don't recommend it until you've familiarized yourself with the game first. I got started on the expansion part of the game and just stopped playing afterwards, it's one of the best titles I've ever played.

  3. Everyone on r/movies is head over heels for Pacific Rim, I didn't really enjoy it. I wanted the movie to take itself seriously but in the end whenever one of the characters spoke it felt like they were trying to add more cheese with every word. It also doesn't help that 80% of the monster fights are shown to you in the trailer. I expected more from the dude who made Pan's Labyrinth.

     

    I saw Kick Ass 2 on Saturday and it fell short in the same way. The people in charge of the film had previously said they weren't going to do any of the serious stuff the comic did (I'm happy they didn't) but in order to do so they ended up sacrificing the aggressive tone the first movie had and it ended up being Mean Girls with guns. It was enjoyable however and I ended up liking the film regardless of my complaints, the jokes were nice :D.

  4. I use MotionJoy.

    I download the drivers there first, then run the application once to make sure they're installed. Afterwards, I download Better DS3.

    It's offline and doesn't have your machine running ads off their app. It also has about the same amount of features as the regular DS3 tool (stuff like 360 Controller mapping, which is really useful for newer realeses).

     

    If you have a bluetooth reciever you can use the same programs as well to run the controller wirelessly.

  5. It's free to play, exclusive to Xboned. Only one character comes unlocked when you download the game, you have to purchase each other individual character from the store. The prices haven't been released yet so it might come out to a full $60 new game when you're done unlocking everything, that's being hopeful.

  6. I honestly don't see what the big deal is with these topics. When it comes to prostitution and recreational drug use (I'm using Marijuana as an example, I'm not entirely sure about the other drugs) I'd figure that government support and testing would make the environment even safer than it's current status. Also people who go about doing these things should require a license (both the workers and the customers) to make sure it's not going in the wrong hands (minors) or for other purposes (std's). I'm all for defending the children currently it's not really doing much. I knew about prostitution and drugs by the time I turned ten and it was usually because of the bs controversy people surround it with.

  7. As frustrating as the death mechanics are in the game, I feel like it plays a big part in making you feel like a regular human in a dark relentless world. It's a part of the reason that I'm enjoying it so much, when I finally down the big bad at the end of the zone I feel that someone with a similar physical skill-set would be able to down the baddie too.

     

    Although I do stop every now and again because the frustration, I think it's worth playing through it.

  8. I stopped caring about consoles after I realized my PS3 was a wasted purchase. I've used it for a couple of games (FFXIII and MGS4 being the only 2 I can recall). Every other game I've played for the past few years have been on my PC and that probably won't change with the release of both these consoles either.

     

    I am interested in seeing the direction that other projects might go in (OUYA/Steambox) but I doubt I'll ever purchase them due to their ridiculous underpowered specs or overpricing parts. A modulated system where you can swap parts (if done right) sounds like a dream come true. It will take away all the hassles that come with building and upgrading a real machine but I doubt the price will ever justify it.

     

    Consoles only look appealing if your young and your parents can afford them (the real price for some of these games are ridiculous when you start counting DLC, even on PC), if you have a real machine I doubt 1 or 2 exclusives will pull you in.
