http://www.destructoid.com/brothers-...d-286837.phtml

Fignuts 01-30-2015 07:39 PM

Advise everyone to pick up Brothers. Also, advise completing it in one go. It's better that way. Doesn't take long. Couple hours maybe. Maybe a bit longer.

Gonna pick up Sniper Elite V2. Enjoyed the demo, but never got around to getting it.

Disturbed316 01-30-2015 11:59 PM

I haven't had Gold for a number of months now and don't miss it, rarely have time to play let alone multiplayer but generally kept it for the free games. After getting an Xbox One though, all the free games have been utter shite.

Fignuts 01-31-2015 12:00 AM

Couple gems.

Super Time Force and Volkar were both good.

Emperor Smeat 01-31-2015 05:41 PM

February's PS+ lineup of free games were revealed to be:
PS3 - Thief (2014 reboot), Yakuza 4
PS4 - Transistor, Aoptheon
Vita - Kick and Fennick, Rogue Legacy

Fignuts 01-31-2015 05:50 PM

Really don't know what people are expecting with the PS4 and XBONE free games. The games being released on the older consoles are years old. What are they supposed to do, release titanfall for free?

drave 01-31-2015 06:15 PM

They had a sale on it. Deluxe edition (base + all dlc) for 12.50. That is good enough.

Got Madden today for 24 bucks. Great deal.

Fignuts 01-31-2015 10:37 PM

Yeah, exactly.

There are already great deals on some of these games, they're just too new to give away for free.

Kalyx triaD 02-10-2015 06:57 PM

The people want classic RE, Capcom.

Fignuts 02-10-2015 07:18 PM

Does the HD game have tank controls?

Always thought it was stupid that all survival horror games back in the day had those. No, it does not add to the gameplay, it's just shitty controls. Kept me from playing the series until they wised up and made more traditional controls for RE4, and oh look at that it was one of the greatest games ever.

Kalyx triaD 02-10-2015 07:24 PM

Well I guess I'm thinking more classic RE difficulty and fear,

alvarado52 02-10-2015 09:10 PM

Tank controls are the only way to go in the HD release...tried the new, improved ones, but with the odd angle changes, I find myself moving back and forth between scenes, and FORGET dodging zombies with that shit on.

Emperor Smeat 02-11-2015 06:08 PM

Today's News:
1) The director of Dead or Alive 5: Last Round made a small request to modders of the upcoming PC version to not do anything vulgar or else Tecmo very likely won't release any more games in the series for the platform.

3) According to reports, Peter Molyneux's 22Cans studio is very unlikely to both reward the winner of the 2013 Curiosity contest and finish work on the Godus project. The reason for the Godus situation is due to a mix of development problems and the studio switching focus towards a new game called The Trial.
