Are we supposed to hate Farcry Primal? I've heard nothing but positive things, for the most part. I got bored to tears about 3/4 of the way into FC3. Not really interested since then.

It's great but it's a farcry game. I'm enjoying it more then the last 2 but I still loved them.


P.s. It's still no Blood Dragon but alas nothing ever will be.

Yes you are.

1) It is a reskin of FC4 at full price.
2) No new innovations
3) Story line is horrid
4) No funny/psycho antagonist.
5) No weapons aside from bow and arrow and spears and knives
6) Features cut with flying vehicles (Aside from an owl you can control kinda)
7) Rideable mounts that miracously control just like a jeep

What you are seeing Soygen is a lot of viral hype, and Regime who buys and plays everything and thinks it all rocks regardless. Yet I never see him online ever playing anything.

I dunno i thought primal looked ok and i was bored with the others pretty quickly. Killing beasts with spears seems more exciting than just another shooter.

Not really. Especially after throwing 6 of them and the beasts still do not fall, and around hour 5 you are still chucking spears and then you are doing it over and over and over and over again without any other options to kill people aside from sending in your bear. The lack of choice weaponry (They could have made a dozen other options for 10k BC ish, but you really just have a spear, bow and arrow, knife) gets VERY old with a lack of variety when you are forced to take over bonfire #483.

At least with FC3 and 4 you had jump puzzles for the radio towers, you had multiple weapon types and tons of variety when going into a camp.

I'll be going through Far Cry 4 after I finish Fallout 4 and Witcher 3. I'll play that instead for the Far Cry fix.

Yeah i can see that, i will play it if it comes bundled with a video card or something. Sounds like it really should have been sold like blood dragon.

Anyone use a XIM4? I recently bought the xbox elite controller, and while it feels amazing i couldnt get over the fact you cant bind 2 buttons to 1 with the mapping. It just urked me to no end so i took it back and ordered a XIM4 which i likely should have gotten a while ago since i generally end up playing more FPS on the console than PC nowadays. Curious how troublesome it will be to set up for various games.

It is pretty easy and straight forward. The app let's you switch profiles on the fly and there are pre existing profiles for most games + you can customize.

I just ordered the Vita modification that gives you two shoulder buttons, and two triggers for the vita 1000.

I'll review it when I get it.

I just got this in so quick review

First thing I'm using the orginal fat Vita, and this is the new case for it that just came out.

Can't really comment on the slim version of this case because it is diffrent.

Pros:

Easly the best case that makes a Vita a controller out here.

Super light, well made. Hides the start/select button so you don't hit them accidently.

Extra 2 buttons on the back work flawlessly, and the best part is your hands will never hit the backside of that Vita again.

Cons

Price , paid 45 to ship it from Japan, and that's a tad high for something for a Vita, but it's worth the money if you like remote play.

Have to give it a 5/5

Xim works great and super easy to setup, just make sure to keep a smartphone or tablet handy to setup profiles for games.

So a Vita accessory with a $45 markup? You sure there isn't a Sony logo on it?

Cases like that and the general position of the Vita and the lack of a less expensive streaming-focused device seems like such a missed opportunity this gen.

Loosely related, looks like Sony stopped manufacturing the PSTV. Vita performance in Japan probably keep the handheld itself going for a while though I'd think.

Column, how do the triggers work? Do they have some pad that touches the back plate?

That case looks like the thing I need to really get me to use my vita. Good to know it works!

You can designate if you would like to appear offline when you log-in or at any time from your Profile or the Quick Menu. (Nice)

~Play Together - This features allows all members of a Party to see what each person is playing so that you can easily join a friend's game, or start a new game together.


Other New System Features
~Remote Play(PC/Mac) - We're bringing PS4 Remote Play to Windows PC and Mac. This feature won't be available to test in the beta, but you can look forward to it soon. (Interesting!)
