Posted July 23, 2014 You got it? Is it any good? Never played an Oddworld game but I am interested. Need to know if it's worth 20€, though. From the original alone, I can say yes. Had a look at the trophy list, it's damn imaginative! Would take a few runs to get all that I reckon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 23, 2014 You got it? Is it any good? Never played an Oddworld game but I am interested. Need to know if it's worth 20€, though. It's on downloading but I probably won't get a chance to play it until tomorrow. Like Shiekah said though, the original is an amazing game and this remake looks to have retained everything that made the first game a classic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 23, 2014 Downloading now : peace: I see you've been playing it. Let me know what you think. I was having a gander at your MGS trophies earlier and was wondering if you played through the extra missions on it? I played through the Déjà Vu mission yesterday and it's amazing. Major nostalgia overload. I never played this mission on the One as it got the inferior Raiden mission, although both are on both consoles now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted July 25, 2014 I got 100% on my first PS4 game last night (MGS:GZ) but sadly there was no platinum trophy for it. What's the deal with that? It had a full 1000 points on the One, yet only had a gold trophy and a bunch of bronze ones on the PS4. Cracking game that I enjoyed playing through again. Methinks I'll head back to Infamous this weekend and try and get my first PS4 platinum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 25, 2014 Infamous was my first PS4 platinum A pretty easy one. Thankfully you don't have to do the paper trail, which I found boring. The reason GZ doesn't have Platinum Trophy in PS4 is due to SONY's regulation. They won't allow us to have them for non-full price game.- HIDEO_KOJIMA (@HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN) March 17, 2014 Makes sense I guess Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 25, 2014 I dont think ive ever got a platinum. Trophies just never seemed to hold the same appeal for me that achievements did on the 360. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It could be that it needs to be a full game and not a glorified demo... ...I jest (a little) though it does make me curious as well. I can't wait to dive into Oddworld at some point soon but MGS:GZ I would probably only pick up for £5 or wait until it's free/packaged in with the next MGS, besides I need to catch up as I haven't even played Peace Walker HD!

Posted July 25, 2014 I'm going to get a PS4 for when Destiny comes out. Never had a non-Nintendo/Sega console before so i'm a complete layman when it comes to this. What do I need to get? What exactly is Playstation Plus? Does it have a virtual console? How much is it per month to play online? Etc etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheeky git! Seriously though, there's tons of content on the disc. Sure, you could easily beat it in an hour and then never play it again but there's another 6 missions to tackle. You also get rewards, both in game and trophies, for playing in a different style. It also takes a few runs through each mission to learn where the guard placements are and nab that S rank.

Etc etc Get the PS4 and at least 3 months of plus - get a year if there's a good deal on a console bundle - Playstation Plus you need to play online but it's better than Xbox Live because you actually get given multiple decent games each month for multiple platforms - PS3, PSv, PS4 - and you get an extra discount off everything in store - I think - just for being a plus member. No Virtual Console but there are tonnes of old games on there - PS1, PS2, PSP etc - some of the prices aren't bad but even for the ones which are a slight rip-off - in comparison to buying the original physical game - you can just wait for a price drop on them. : peace: Cheeky git!

I did say I was partly joking. I probably will buy it at some point, just... drowning in games at the moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Etc etc You pay around £30 for a 365 day PS Plus subscription (RRP is 40 but there's usually somewhere selling them for cheaper), and you get: - 2 new games per system (PS4/PS3/Vita) to download per month - discounts on other stuff - automatic cloud backup of saves - online play (PS4) - automatic patching (I think it's PS Plus only...)

I'm waiting for good headset deal myself at the moment, if anything comes up I'll let you know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are deals out there, so I'd look around. HotUKDeals is excellent for this, as well as finding great deals on games, too. As the others have said, you get two free games to download per month. I'm sure this month that there were three games, though. (right?) This is pretty simple. It's just a case of going onto the PSN store and downloading the games from there. I'm pretty sure I did this via the mobile app when I was on holiday. I'd get that as it's sweet. The important thing though is getting games to go with the system. I'd definitely think about Tomb Raider if you haven't played it. Love it. I'm playing Watch Dogs and am enjoying that. Assassin's Creed 4 is next for me to play and The Last of Us is out next week. If you are into these old-school style shooters, Resogun is great. You can find some good deals for games online on that HotUKDeals site. pretty sure you can get games like MGS: Ground Zeroes for about 20 quid new or even cheaper preowned. Tomb Raider is of a similar price. I'm looking at headsets as well. I know the PS4 comes with a set of headphones. Does anyone know if that has a microphone? I don't think it does. I've put it somewhere...may have to look for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted July 25, 2014 Yeah, plug it in your DualShock 4 and your good to go. I've found it now. Will have a look at it later. I'm going to look for a better one, though.

Waiting on a deal for the Gold 2.0 headset, pricey but a worthwhile investment it seems. I put this link before, but they're £68.68 here. The cheapest they have ever been is £60 at GameStop, and they ran out of stock almost immediately and never seem to stock it anymore. Seems a good deal considering you're only going to get them at most £8.50 cheaper (if at all) by waiting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Waiting on a deal for the Gold 2.0 headset, pricey but a worthwhile investment it seems. That was one of the first major PS4 purchases i made (other than PS+ and a few games). I did have an EX-05 for the Xbox 360, it worked on the PS4 but the sound was very low (even with the settings at max). Someone said i needed an amp to get it to increase. Havn't looked back, sound quality is excellent. Great bass, great settings and everything. If anyone is considering a purchase of them, i recommend them.

Posted July 25, 2014 Right, I've attached my microphone and Ine quickly reminded me that Tomb Raider has voice commands. So, I've put that back in (hnnnnnng, what a game). You know what, the voice commands aren't bad at all. It's quite useful actually when you're on the map screen and looking for the documents/relics part. It's not bad...I've not had anything fuck up on me yet. Everything has appeared first time, even with my fucked up accent. Not really something I think I'll use much...hmm. But, good to see that it works. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
