Legend_in_blue Posted 10 June 2018 Posted 10 June 2018 Yawn. EAs E3 presentation was a borefest from start to finish. Summed up by that Anthem game. Apart from looking like a pretty Ironman simulator, it just came across as a Destiny clone. Oh and it releases on the same date as Days Gone. Huge mistake. Could be the beginning of the end for Bioware. Never been the same since ME2.
MC Prussian Posted 11 June 2018 Posted 11 June 2018 Anybody know how to manually eject a stuck disc in an XBOX One X? The XBOX One S trick with counting the holes on the side doesn't work and I don't know whether it's the small hole on the left side of my XBOX One X, just underneath the disc drive level up front, or not. Paper clip technique doesn't seem to be working. Any help is greatly appreciated. EDIT: Found it. Bit finnicky.
Legend_in_blue Posted 11 June 2018 Posted 11 June 2018 Assassins Creed Origins + speech options just about sums up what I've seen of AC: Odyssey. E3 so far minus a couple of decent announcements has been pretty dull.

Xbox was by far better than PS in the '360 era (and I personally preferred the Xbox to the PS2). However the Xbone is awful, and their games have stagnated. I have an Xbox One, but I'm far less happy with it than I was with the '360, for a multitude of reasons. I don't care for fanboyism - I have no loyalty to one Microsoft or Sony - but PS4 clearly has the upper hand at the moment, and nothing I've seen has lead me to believe that will change in the near future.

That's the bottom line - nothing more boring than people crusading in support of one console or another. Fanboys of both consoles are absolute sad acts unfortunately

Personally don't see the the consoles lasting much longer but we shall see.
Finnegan Posted 13 July 2018 Posted 13 July 2018 I've got to face two weeks without the Internet before fibre is installed in my flat. I've fancied getting a PlayStation for a while with last of us 2 coming up, plus I really want to play Horizon. I'm tempted to go and buy a PS4 Horizon bundle tomorrow but then it occurred to me, whilst I'm sure a ps4 is usable without an Internet connection, will I be able to boot up the console and the game (physical copy obviously) for the first time whilst offline or will some set up require a connection? If the latter, will this be one time only? Or every time I play? If once only I could potentially take the console to a friends for an hour to set up.

Same story as with the PS4, still have to have the connectivity to patch the game ect... But it will be easier to take to a friends to connect to their Wi-fi and do ti that way, just to get it set up.
Guest Posted 13 July 2018 Posted 13 July 2018 I'm not sure why this thread persists. Play on what you want. I had a x360 then a ps4. Think I made the right call both times. Have to say that ps has much better exclusives though. Though the Scorpio (yes I know outs not called that now) is clearly huge in terms of numbers, the damage was already done this gen. Personally can't see myself swapping back unless ms get better first party exclusives. I can't imagine a world without naughty dog these days! It's not really a war though. If you want to buy ms buy ms. Not sure why anybody would get triggered by somebody else's choice of console.

If I was you I would go for the edition that includes The Frozen Wilds though - you might get lucky and not require an update with this copy of the game rather than the standalone edition. I'm not sure. However, the best game on PS4 can surely wait another two weeks? Alternatively, take it somewhere to update - I would, it's worth the trip, the game is superb.

It is very good, I like it. Only a couple of small criticisms, the camera is probably only a 7/10 but then that's one of the hardest things to get right in any 3rd person action game. Especially with such quick moving enemies, tbf. Other flaw is they went full ubisoft which is very disappointing. Bandit camps, radar giraffes, flower, text and trophy collectables all over the place, corrupted zones, etc. Really, really unnecessary and lazy game design. The corrupted zones can be a fun challenge depending on the robot type at least. Otherwise its very good, yeah. Good graphics, good world, good narrative and good (machine) combat (vs humans is a bit average.)

It'll play straight off the bat, it just won't be the most refined version of the game. Aside from Elite Dangerous, not had a single game that needs internet connection. I used mine for weeks without one.
