    Empire Online: 100 Greatest Video Games of all time

    Why are people acting as if this is some attempt at a definitive list of the 100 greatest games of all time? It's the 100 greatest games according to the readers of Empire Magazine who voted on this poll. Just like every such list is the x amount of games that are considered the greatest of all...

    The Last of Us

    As someone who's finished the game multiple times in the months after release, it's awesome coming back to the game. It already was a looker, but with the added benefit of 60 fps, and native resolution, plus all the little tweaks, it really is something else. Which is why I'm glad they added...

    Gamersyde video comparing the ps3 and ps4 versions of the game. Includes 60 fps footage if your connection can handle it.

    Prisoners (2013)

    Just finished it, what a great movie. Was on the edge of my seat for what must have been two hours of it. Pretty much every one of the main cast was brilliant, and the supporting cast did a pretty damn good job as well.

    The Last of Us

    Naughty Dog is streaming their new MP DLC in a couple of minutes. Corrine Yu's twitter page is implying that it'll be at 60 fps, so if you're interested in seeing that, go have a look-see. Twitch

    The Last of Us

    "Immersion factor" is a good point, if I'm getting what you're saying. I always heard people complaining about the "horrible framerate" or the "massive amounts of jaggies" in the game, but to be honest, in my first playthrough, without those things having been pointed out to me by a third party...

    Anyone else not earning xp anymore? Some of my abilities are like 3/4ths filled, but they're I'm no longer gaining anything to fill it up further.

    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    Damn. I fucking suck at the PVP apparently. It's my first competitive multiplayer on console though. Got any tips except for "git gud"? I'm playing titan as well, if that makes a huge difference.

    He was in that area that's otherwise closed. The one right above that tunnel thing that takes you to those class leaders, and behind the bounty-guy.

    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    Wasn't too keen on the PVP before, but after playing a shitton of it last night, I'm actually really loving it. Those times for the Iron Banner thing are a fucking bummer, though. It's 11pm-1pm and 4am-6am for me over here in Belgium, which is completely unreasonable, unless you want to fuck...

    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    For those in-game, is there any noticeable difference in terms of graphical fidelity / performance from the Alpha?

    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    Alright, yeah, finally got through. Sheez, what a mess. Probably going to need to let this download overnight though, given the speed it's going at.

    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    So I pre-loaded the client with the pre-order trick. Ended up not working, so after putting in my code, I deleted the client. Now, how do I manually download the beta client?

    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    Well, I mean, for them, it's actually a great idea to do this. Gives them an idea what actual launch day will be like. Just sucks for us. They have no hope to get through that smoothly though, given the current state.

    PSN store in Europe well and truly shat the bed. Can't even access my library on my PS4.

    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    So, what's the deal with that Europe pre-load trick now? Anyone have an idea if I'll be charged if I use that client, even if I don't use a beta code I received through pre-ordering?

    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    You click on your user name, you click profile, and right under the big, yellow "BETA" thing is an option for "codes".

    The Last of Us

    As amazing as the single player is (and it was in the pantheon of "best games ever" for me personally on that account alone), they actually somehow nailed the multiplayer almost as well, and managed to deliver arguably one of the best multiplayer experiences. If you liked the actual stealth...

    Somewhat of a media blow-out going on at the moment. They include some screenshots, but it's not clear whether they're downsampled or whatnot. http://blog.us.playstation.com/2014/...omment-1002316 http://i.imgur.com/IpxVvmy.jpg http://i.imgur.com/LJAwFUI.jpg There are also some media...

    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    Plus the different difficulty modes, the amount of hours you can sink in the multiplayer if you like it, the raids, ... I dunno, I've got faith. Surely they've got endgame stuff that hasn't been revealed yet either. If I end up really enjoying this game when it actually comes out, I can see...

    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    I don't know about you guys, but I got nearly 15 hours of gameplay out of the alpha alone, which contained "less than 10% of the entire game", whatever that may mean. And I only dabbled a bit in the multiplayer while spending the bulk of my time on PVE. I'm not sure where people are getting the...

    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    That's where first party exclusives come in to a much greater extent than games from third party publishers. Also, I'd say Destiny, for example, is a relatively big gamble. As for BIG risks, and you seemingly implying that unless you're making sweeping changes to a genre, you're not taking a...

    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    Not really. Watch Dogs just announced 8 million sold. Tomb Raider ended up being a success after all, and a sequel is coming. First party exclusives still sell bonkers. GTAV just came form selling 29 million copies in 6 weeks, and being the fastest selling entertainment product ever. Not even...

    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    Well, how can I argue with such a well put-together argument. Console versions of most AAA titles routinely outsell PC versions, which is what counts in the west. If you're talking about pure revenue, then no shit. PC install base is like 3 times the entire install base of all consoles...

    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    Like Tabula Rasa, right? In fact, I can't think of any that genuinely worked out. Planetside 2 maybe? But that's more of a battlefield type shooter. FPS MMO's on PC don't simply inherently work out, even if they're specifically designed for it. Also, Halo was fundamentally a console FPS...

    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    Not to derail this entire thread, but I genuinely don't get who the steambox is for except for steam users that want to spend some extra money to have a small form factor box under their television. Those boxes are never going to beat consoles in terms of the ease of use or the amount of support...

    Wasteland 2

    Is this game still expected to release in August? I kinda want to jump into Divinity, but with this on the horizon, I don't want to end up being burned out on crpg's. Also, kinda tangentially related, what's the deal with "dead state", that other apocalyptic crpg that's supposed to release...

    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    I just physically recoiled reading that. Can't believe this is still a thing. Anyway, looking forward to the beta next week. I'm thinking people might have to end up waiting quite a bit longer than they think for the PC version. Definitely no sooner than Destiny 2 I'd guess, and even then. If...

    To preface, if you haven't played the game yet, I would personally refrain from watching these screenshots.They're pretty spoiler-y.
