The Gare and Elin Translate It Out: keikaku means plan

But, we now have to pay for the online service which was previously free.

I'm hoping not, but given that this is EA I suspect that ditching the Online Pass system probably just means they've worked out some other way to pull the same shit. Possibly by some sort of console-ized Origin system (we did have console Steam, it's not that hard to imagine...). Sooner or later, some idiot is going to piss in the pool and I simply hope that everyone doesn't hop on the bandwagon. Sadly, even first party titles were part of this (Heavy Rain had server authentication, all late first/second party Sony titles had passes). This potentially bothers me because we're somewhat trusting Sony to keep a non-DRM stance while they've shown a desire ( on some level) to throw chains all over the game and attempt to keep you from playing something you paid for.

The first thought that came to my head when I heard about that news is that EA would just have bigger, better bullshit down the road.

On that note, in the future I think it's not impossible to see a BC revision of the PS4 in a few years once the tech gets smaller and cheaper. But for now, I suspect that the PS3 is being kept as a sort of "entry level" system in the same manner that the PS2 was for a super long time there. Which works great for me because JRPGs and niche titles come out of the woodwork once the big AAA titles move ahead a generation. They don't have to compete too hard with a big name, but there's a huge install base ready to pick up your quirky weird game. Some interesting shit can happen there. And sell pretty well too. And for at least a while they'll still run out the last few titles that they had in development (which wind up being among the best, typically. The PS2 got all kinds of awesome at the end and the PS1 (once you ignore the atrocious shovelware and downgraded ports) had some nice surprises at the end of its life)).

Yes. I'm looking forward to another good run of this. Best part is the games are generally cheaper too, like $30-40 retail. Good times.

So, I think it's stupid to stick to one brand just because you like them but it looks like I'll be getting another Sony console this generation. I probably won't get it until it's been out a year though.

Yeah brand loyalty is lol. I'll have a Wii U and a Ps4 by the time it's over and I would have got an Xbone too if Microsoft weren't so GD retarded.

Thank you, Sony~ <3 No region free = Elly having to import a Japanese console. ;__;

Best news. BEST.

Yeah it sucks but it's the lesser of two evils.

Did you guys see the FFXV trailer? It looks amazing! I haven't been this hyped for a Final Fantasy in years! And Kingdom Hearts made me feel all gooey inside. Still need to play Dream Drop Distance.

Ahh spent two days marathoning Eyeshield 21. At episode 27 now. It was good, but not nearly as good as my brother made it out to be. I'm not inclined to watch more right now and don't really care what happens next.

Agreed, fuck that noise. I'm already half PC gamer anyway (I only play console exclusives on consoles), and this would have been the final straw to push me away from console gaming. Sure PC has awful DRM but as DL says... I can always download a crack if my real version wants to give me bullshit (I was thiiiiiiiis close with Sins of a Solar Empire). I'll be getting a PS4 now at some point.

My words exactly.

Elin, you already live in Japan. I wouldn't exactly call that "importing".

[Nemkoon]

PS4>>>>Xbone.
My silly brother is getting an xbone, so I'll just play the console exclusives on that.

[Ace Ventura]

Super Smash Bros. Has been confirmed to be bringing in Mega Man and the Villager from Animal Crossing, did I scream again? Yes. Yes I did. I'm just kiddin, but I'm pretty happy!

The kitten has climbed to her highest recorded height and she wails, ensuring that all around may witness her achievement.
She was 'almost' at waist level.

[Elin]

Best news. BEST.

You get me.

Elin, you already live in Japan. I wouldn't exactly call that "importing".

Only for another three months. ;__; Though I suppose with any luck, I'll be back here by the time I start to consider buying a PS4 anyway. Assuming I buy into this console generation at all. My poor 3DS has gone mostly unused since my friend gave me it.

So RE6 is not too bad and this was just a case of butthurt people overreacting. What a surprise.

Comparing to RE5 you mean?

[Gare]

Comparing to RE5 you mean?

Yeah.

Also I was watching this one scene where Chris is sitting in some bar drinking and being all depressed and shit, then my brother looks at the screen and goes "aw, he's depressed because he has no more boulders to punch".

Yeah that's how I always felt! The core gameplay, as in the shooting/movement mechanics, are absolutely the best in the series yet. The game scenarios are rather uneven at times though. The result of too many chefs spoiling the broth.
