Re all the Friday 13th chatter and stuff, I've one word for you all to consider: EVOLVE.

While it might have been a decent game in it's own right, did it do enough to show the 4/5 V 1 formula as a viable, long lasting genre?

I will admit it LOOKS like it'd be a laugh with a few from here, and I've watched a few MrFruit streams and they all end up pissing themselves, but I'm not sure about the longevity of it.

Evolve also shipped with feck all content with a ridiculous amount of dlc at a very high price.

And if I remember rightly they messed up just after launch with the rumours of it moving straight to Free to Play.

Thats the main reason a lot are jumping on it now so that there is a good player base to have a laugh with before it goes stale.

Personally I would be waiting for it to drop to half the price it is now, and pick it up along with all the lads who bought Battleborn, for example, and pretty much only play it with that group. No particular interest in playing it with randoms. So whether it has a community or not outside of boards.ie isn't really a concern for me.

At the current price, I can't justify lumping on for that kind of intent. Especially as no one else seems bothered to do so either.

No, that wasn't right after Launch to be fair. It was a good bit later after the game had effectively tanked. That game was a mess in how to market a game. Master of it's own demise. But as Jonny/Solvable said, if you got in there in the 1st 6 weeks, it was probably more fun than waiting too long.

Bought the Last Guardian the other day. Not a bád game for what it is. The companion creature is pretty impressive, very life like and you get a real sense that it's an intelligent being.

Gameplay wise, it's fairly simple. The puzzles aren't challenging, and the enemies are a minor nuisance at best.

Haven't finished it just yet, but the story is fairly low key so far.

Not sure it was worth the $30ish but not much else going on.

Renewed my ps+ yearly sub last night. I see that they are throwing in Star Wars Battlefront for free with it... Which was a nice bonus.

Yeah, just the early one. I saw mention of a limited number of downloads for it, and that an email would be sent to download. Haven't gotten one yet, so I don't know if they've already passed the limit.

S'good but I always remember Battlefield Hardline, that Car game and racing round blaring Stranglehold by Ted Nugent.

To be fair, he does also mention "That Car game", so ...... anyone know what this Car game is? Or is it in BFHL?

He's such a good boy your honour

It was the third time in four months that his account had been banned,

EoinHef

Believe he posted in the PS forum a few weeks back,at least someone with a very similar problem did.

Lets just say his attitude didnt endear him to other posters. Thread got locked by a mod because of it and that was that.

That was a very short read, once the caps key was hit I was totally in Sony's corner. Somehow I think this individual would not last in Destiny PvP for more than 1 sniper bullet to the head.

I enjoyed that entire thread :pac:

I had a beaut of a reply typed up just as the thread closed, I was super disappointed

It was kind of like the Titanfall 2 campaign. Just the right length before things got dull and repetitive.
Although now I want to know Jonny's unposted reply.

Lets just say my response was just after I seen him calling everyone fools..... i didn't need to read anymore and hit the post reply button. It was basically pointing out his failures as a supposed adult in dealing with others being the sole reason behind his loss of account. I also had a little snippet from the PSN user agreement we all signed up to stating they can revoke access at any stage if you break their rules. But I put it all in a colourful manner :P
