Glad to see more Vita love.

mt4208d ago

that is still no love for a handheld device. , I see PS+ is getting all the love a lot of free games.

GamerToons4207d ago

No offense, but what 'love' is it getting? I have a Vita and Retro City Rampage looks cool, but the other stuff sucks.

I don't see it getting much love at all but I am guessing that will slooooowly change.

mt4207d ago

I am ps3 fan , but ps3 fans in N4G here WANT YOU always say good things about their consoles.

Since when did N4G hide comments for the F-word? For f***'s sake...

Christopher4208d ago

For the longest time. We see it, we hide it. We have people of ages 13 and above here and certain laws require moderation of offensive language.

And, yeah, it would be awesome to just filter it out, but that is not in the hands of your local moderators unfortunately.

Thank you,
cgoodno

I think you guys should just try to keep the 13 year olds OFF this site.....

It`s not like the use of the terminology "flopbox" and "gaystation" add anything positive anyway.

Christopher4208d ago

@Maria: Thing is, it's mostly 20+ year olds who say that type of stuff the most on N4G and most other Web sites. Lots of people look to release their inner child on the Internet as they get into places where in public they find themselves holding back more and more.

BISHOP-BRASIL4208d ago

Making N4G 18+? Where do I sign?

googergieger4208d ago

What laws? There is nothing wrong with cursing and one should not only encourage it but champion it. They are words. There is nothing wrong with words. Words are expression and ideas. Expression and ideas are life. Words are life. To ban, delete, or otherwise chastise certain words over others because someone a long time ago decided one should do it for no legitimate reason is...

...well not evil, but wrong on almost every level one could imagine.

MostJadedGamer4207d ago

I gave you a negative mark for bad language. I cann't believe somebody like you who has 6 comments would use those type of cusswords.

Um no. Some of us are Christians on this site, and hate hearing that kind of garbage.

topekomsi4207d ago

Christopher4207d ago

Confirmed, topekomsi is jealous of us mall cops and our Segways.

^I lost a bubble yesterday cuz I used the words sh!t and p!ss. I didn't even know those were crude enough to be considered bad language, at least not enough to bubble me down for. -_-

Dishonored does look awesome tho.

Christopher4208d ago

That one was okay. I've reversed it and given you back your bubble. We are really only after the "R" rated words and generally offensive terms.

TheFirstClassic4208d ago

@cgoodno wow thanks! I did think it was a little harsh.

Sweet XCOM: Enemy Unknown demo

doogiebear4208d ago (Edited 4208d ago )

North American PS Plus just aint what it used to be anymore. We got crappy NFL Blitz, and now its week 2 and no more games? What happened to 3 games a month? My 1 year membership ends at the end of this month. I won't be renewing. Maybe if a hot game comes out, but right now I been disappointed the last 4-5 months by crappy stuff (some of which I unfortunately already owned--yet it was so crappy I don't play anymore anyway).

admiralvic4208d ago

2 more are going to be announced today...

doogiebear4208d ago

I hope so. And I hope it's not more stupid 2d beat-em-ups. Europe is getting way better stuff and yet we pay roughly the same equivalent.

JAM_brz4208d ago

Getting Infamous 2 and LittleBigPlanet was enough to make it worth for me.

doogiebear4208d ago (Edited 4208d ago )

Infamous 2 was awesome! So I get your point, however, our mutual love of those 2 games does not justify the fact that the ADDITIONAL games (After the first batch of 12 we got in that 1 month in the summertime) we are getting are completely cheap pieces of trash that no one would ever buy (nowadays), when compared to EUROPE, they are getting amazing full ps 3, quality games for ps plus. AND they already got Infamous 2 and Lbp 2 (If I'm correct) so they still get a monumentally better deal. Is Europe somehow more deserving. Is our $ 50 contribution worth any less? I know the dollar is declining, but I didnt think it was worth THAT little that we get double dragon and Europe gets Deus Ex and Dead Space.

Gridloc4208d ago (Edited 4208d ago )

So a year ago before they had the Instant game collection, you thought it was a better deal? As a day 1 member of Plus I've never felt cheated or ripped off. Cloud backups, automatic game patching and discounts on new and older games, plus an occasional free game and beta seemed worth it to me. Sonys instant game collection was just a bonus, even though I already owned most games. The new game discounts and Vita plus around the corner, PS Plus is the best value on ANY console.

doogiebear4208d ago (Edited 4208d ago )

No I liked it in the past year because even though the games were not always AAA, most were NEW games that were good and also experimental/indie (like Rock of Ages). Now we get the cream of the crAp (double dragon being the straw that broke the camels back).

Look: Don't try to paint me as someone who was never appreciative. I NEVER complain about ps plus. But the games of the last few months are just not good. I'd know, because I have ps plus, played them, and they suck. None of my ps plus friends like them either. If u would prefer double dragon, nfl blitz, bloodrayne, sideways ny, and a bunch of other games that suck, instead of the amazing full games that Europe is getting (like Dead Space, Deus Ex and several other full ps3 games I cant recall right now) then your a damn liar.

I love Sony too, but try to seperate your enthusiasm from the facts. M'kay?

doctorstrange4208d ago

At least TWD Ep 3 and CSGO are out in the US...

BitbyDeath4208d ago

Not sure if it was just updated recently but NA are getting King of Fighters XIII this week.

Also stated on the blog another game will come out next week.

XCOM: Enemy Unknown - A Welcome Rebirth

XCOM: Enemy Unknown rebooted the series back in 2012, and has since inspired numerous new strategy game series to be born.

shinoff2183171d ago (Edited 171d ago )

If someone gets into this I'd recommend getting the enemy within version. It's got all the dlc included so it's the better version. Wish the author would've atleast mentioned it. I didn't see it.

Fantastic game though. Xcom 2 is top notch also. I've spent countless hours in these games.

ModsDoBetter170d ago

Excellent game.
Played to death on PS3 years ago.

S2Killinit170d ago

What other games were inspired by this game?

JL2930170d ago

Gears Of War Tactics, Phoenix Point. Many others.

shinoff2183169d ago

Phoenix point if I remember was created by the original xcom developer or something to that affect. I did try gears tactics some months ago and I just couldn't get into it. It's probably just me

JL2930169d ago (Edited 169d ago )

It was, but it was really closer to the newer XCOM than the older ones. Gears Tactics was okay but was hard to get into knowing there probably wont be a sequel.

The Magic of 'Dishonored’s' Blink

It’s a shame, really, that so few games have “borrowed” Dishonored’s Blink – in the right hands, such a power could be game-changing.

It felt kinda cheap to me… both in terms as a tactic, and game design

Abnor_Mal423d ago (Edited 423d ago )

There was a small game called Aragami that “borrowed” the blink, that was a good game.

Unfortunately I heard the sequel wasn’t good so I stayed away from trying it out.

sairenfox2099422d ago

The sequel changed some of the mechanics from the first game but it was still a very polished and enjoyable experience. You should definitely give it a shot sometime. The game's currently on sale on Steam

Abnor_Mal422d ago

Okay thanks for the heads up, will look out for it being on sale one day.

I really did like the first and played it back to back as soon as I finished the first play through.

Why the Dishonored Franchise Is Worth Revisiting in 2022

Dishonored's engaging lore, creative levels, and timeless gameplay are well worth revisiting for fans of the immersive sim and stealth genre.
