Have you played earlier versions? I'm still addicted to Civ IV despite it being a bit rusty around the edges. I never got 5 because friends said that too many play strategies had been entirely removed but I'll probably get it at some point anyway ... interesting that the price has dropped so low.
Yeah its definitely a lot simpler compared to previous versions. Kind of hard for a Civ game to be bad in my opinion ha. I played Civ 3 for a while, havent played IV though. 5 is still normal price on steam, got it through amazon
Nice. I LOVED Aria of Sorrow, might be my favorite next to Symphony and Rondo. I still need to play Dawn, Order, and Portrait. Basically all the DS Castlevania. The last good, 2D ones. Anyone getting Animal Crossing: New Leaf? I have never fully invested into an Animal Crossing, but I think this might be my time to leap in. Looks fun. Great side game while playing other ones. Creeping through Luigi's Mansion right now. Halfway through. Pretty excellent game!
^ I should be but sadly am too busy for the distraction. I'll get the recap from a few friends and pick and choose what to checkout later. Also, anyone going to E3 this week?
Microsoft has a horrid one. It was just bad and a bit inappropriate. Also, the price point is just ridiculous. More and more I feel I made the right move going to PC. here is some of what went down there. http://kotaku.com/the-trash-talk-during-microsofts-conference-was-awful-512330167
I went to the Microsoft briefing and I rather enjoyed it. I'm glad they got all the media and TV talk out of the way during their unveiling last month, that way they can just focus on games at E3. I was however disappointed they didn't address their used games and DRM policies more, as it's been the talk of the town on the internets regarding next gen consoles. There are several exclusives that I was excited for such Ryse, Killer Instinct, Halo and Titanfall. MGS5 & Battlefield 4 looked great as well, but I know those games aren't going to be exclusive to Xbox. I got a question for the PS3 folks. If you don't have Playstation Plus, can you still play games with online multiplayer?
Yes. I have never been a Plus member but I've played Borderlands 2 with Hiro, a couple NHL games, some Space Marine, and even raced against Lalo (I don't recommend racing him...unless you want to know how bad a driver you are). The only reason I would consider going Plus is for having my saves on the cloud. After my first PS3 died (first gen 60gb), there was no way I was going to go through GT5 license tests again. I can do without the free games that Plus members get. Not sure what else you get as a Plus member but I'm sure you can find it on the interwebz
I see. Only reason I asked cause during Sony's conference I noticed Plus membership is required now to play online on the PS4.
Wow. I wonder how many people are on Plus? On my friend's list, I think there's only about 2 people on Plus. I'll have to dig around for the Press Release notes. Still, I'd probably get a PS4 over the Xbox without having read any Press on what their differences are.
Yeah, I followed Sony, MS and yesterday's Nintendo Direct. Not a lot to say really, I know I'm going for Sony hands down (for various reasons, including the used games policy and the Japanese gaming industry — but again I would never go for Xbox, bought once and got rid of it after three RROD, more than enough in my book) and Nintendo was honestly a bit disappointing, Wii U is hardly getting any support except for a handful of Nintendo classics (which look nice but besides Platinum Games there's little to rave about). Here, this pretty much summarizes E3 for me http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=pl ... EqmkduIeMU
going to break my 3ds joystick playing this when it comes out also going to playstation route, microsoft bombed everything. i was a little bummed out that the Last Guardian is STILL on hiatus
Yeah, the video at the link below looks amazing (albeit the low quality) http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013- ... -sony-says
Yeah, that Mega Man Super Smash trailer was the best. So freaking awesome. And Wii-Fit Trainer?! Hahaha And I love how they stylized the look for the 3DS release with a cel-shaded. Looks like it'll get some exclusive levels too!
Oh, and Suda51 is back to form with this latest Killer Is Dead E3 trailer. Looks like this might be his masterpiece. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2CrEh1xv460
By the way, if anyone is playing Animal Crossing: new Leaf, or has a 3DS, friend me! Bobby, 2964-9907-1230 !
^ Just added you. I'm also drugged up on Animal Crossing. Here's my friend code 3952-7182-1573. Iron Fist
PSA for all you PS3 players: Do NOT update to 4.45. There is a chance it will lock up your PS3. http://kotaku.com/dont-update-your-..._source=Kotaku_Facebook&utm_medium=Socialflow http://community.us.playstation.com...rt/Problem-after-update-to-4-45/td-p/40712247
