Making things worse was other restrictions were revealed for rewards and DICE reducing the reward for beating the campaign since they want the credits to only be used for a very specific character.

Stacked GOTY category. Horizon for me by default, as I didn't play the others enough.

ClockShot 11-14-2017 07:14 PM

Agree with Fignuts. Heard wonders about Zelda and Mario but didn't get my hands on a switch. So I'll throw my vote in for Horizon.

Destor 11-14-2017 08:21 PM

Fignuts 11-14-2017 09:04 PM

Love a great jrpg.

P5 for sure, Phantom Thieves represent.

#BROKEN Hasney 11-15-2017 04:28 PM

Zelda

Horizon
PUBG for me.

But those last 2 aren't even making my personal top 10

So it looks like Sagat isn't the next DLC character.

I ALWAYS WONDERED WHAT WAS UP WITH XP. THE PACE JUST FELT OFF OMG.

ALSO CASHING IN TOKENS FEELS OFF AFTER YOU GET THREE ENGRAMS DURING CASH IN.

THOUGHT I WAS GOING CRAZY.

Kalyx triaD 11-24-2017 09:50 PM

Also SoulCalibur 6 may be announced at a Playstation event. Dunno if that's what they're teasing, but a new iteration became likely when leakers who were spot on about SFV characters and look spot on about MvCi season 2 characters also mentioned SoulCalibur 6. Even mentioned the big gimmick will be variations of characters ala MKX.

#BROKEN Hasney 11-25-2017 03:56 AM

The same leaker also said DMC5 will be there and Resident Evil 2 Remake is either there or will be revealed in 2018, but either way, it's RE4-6 camera style.

The weird thing is that Sony are playing down PSX. The main conference might nkt even be streamed. They're calling it a "welcome reception" for their ticket holders. The Capcom Cup is there though, so thst can do the Capcom announcements if needed.

Kalyx triaD 11-25-2017 03:39 PM

Within the next "5 to 20 years" lol. That's one hell of a safe margin for inaccuracy.

Ruien 11-30-2017 07:48 PM

I hate owning games now that are disc format.

Kalyx triaD 11-30-2017 08:50 PM

I haven't purchased a physical copy in nearly five years.

Sepholio 11-30-2017 09:02 PM

I still prefer discs. Something physically mine that can't be magically erased or taken offline one day or hacked or whatever. I also like those cases sitting on my shelf.

Also I hate waiting on everything to download and hate having to clear space on drives to download something for hours. Shit installs from discs way faster in the vast majority of cases with the exception of games that have a required download.

Also Comcast used to have that shitty data limit that they finally did away with. I was not wasting my precious data on downloading a 100gb game.

Destor 11-30-2017 09:56 PM

Only buy digital if i cant find a physical. Hate digital. I want to own what i buy

#BROKEN Hasney 12-01-2017 04:30 AM

Always buy discs too. I can save £10-£20 per game, get the game 3-5 days early and re-sell and the only slight issue is getting up to change discs. No issues with that at all.

Emperor Smeat 12-01-2017 05:49 PM

Watch it be a Battle Network collection, instead of Megaman X.

Kalyx triaD 12-01-2017 06:27 PM

It's gonna be X, bro. Then Legends. BN and SF should be in a super collection.

Fignuts 12-01-2017 06:41 PM

Gimme that Zero collection.

Fignuts 12-02-2017 03:47 AM

Couple days ago I was online with Kalyx and Alverado, and the topic of the UFC 3 beta came up. I joked "Does it have loot boxes?"

Turns out it has loot boxes and pretty much the same kind of online progression system as battlefront 2. The same slow progression system.

Unbelievable.
