@cejay0813: The same company that made Planet Zoo has made Planet Coaster. Its not that old and the graphics look similar to Plant Zoo. I havent played Planet Coaster, but got great reviews.
And if it is half as good as Planet Zoo, then you may like.
I bought the Satisfye grip when it released, actually pre-ordered. It is so comfortable. My hands no longer feel cramped in hand held mode. I can now play longer game sessions without any hand fatigue. Its worth every dollar.
@grimdealer I understand that. But if gamespot is reporting on sale they should report is as a PSN+sale too. Most people sub to PSN. Bad reporting all around.
But then they have this line in there article..
"This week's PlayStation Store sale is a big one. That's because multiple publishers are dropping prices on their games at the same time Sony is running a special sale just for PS Plus subscribers."
So yeah, badly written article and lack of correct pricing
Since they are killing off Andrew Lincolns character, Rick Grimes, this season, why would they keep going? I see the show dying out after this next season.
@spartanx169x: Rare has already admitted it will not appeal to everyone. As far as there are more "solo players" I have found that to be the opposite. I have been in since the Alpha Technical test way back in December up until this final beta. Constantly running into 2 man to 4 man crews. They are the ones constantly going after the solo players. I have seen many Galleon Ships (4man crew 3 mast ships) battling it out. Sorry that this doesnt sound like a game for you. But with my 60 or so hours combined of beta play, I really enjoy what they allowed us to test. I for one cant wait for release..
@spartanx169x: No it doesnt. The entire map is PvPvE zones. They are not also making separate servers for PvP only and PvE only. Also there is no safe zones. You are always at risk of players coming to try and take your loot or sink you. Thats what makes it fun. A sense of danger the entire time. You are pirates after all. You want to strategize on every decision you make. The game is best played with a group. One thing you will learn fast. if you are heading back to one of the outposts with loot, and you see a ship already there, best not go in. Choose another outpost unless that specific quest tells you that the outpost is a must for turn in. Usually thats with just the Merchant Company and those quests are usually timed. Treasure Hoarders company have not given me specific outpost quests yet. Doesnt mean they are not there, I just simply havent ran into one yet.
@NaturallyEvil: No, its already there. Again another who doesnt know how to properly research. Rare had said they are keeping the content locked up so not to spoil before release. This is the way devs use to do betas 15 years ago. But now it seems you present day gamers feel you are entitled to everything. Open Betas are never meant to be a try before paying. Its there to test there servers to prepare for release and test how they can handle capacity. Also to polish any last minute bugs that could break before release.
Funny allot of the people who say its NMS or says this is all the content didnt spend anytime reading the forums or watching any of the developer diaries. If so they would know that they only have allowed the two trading companies. The Gold Hoarders and the Merchant Alliance. The latter was just released for this beta. Prior betas we only got the The Gold Hoarders. This beta also included the skeleton forts with the boss that has the key to the treasure room. The next faction, which will be in at launch is The Order of the Souls. There are also uncharted islands not on the map that have hidden treasure and other things. Some of these islands were in beta already. At launch we will see the famous Kraken sea monster they keep talking about. Rare also spoke about, shortly after release they will be adding more content and have already been working on said content.
To compare to NMS is just so far off as we have seen more content to do in SoT Beta than we saw in NMS at release. I think when people see the word "Beta" they expect the full game. Again, if they went to the forums or watched the developer video, they would haves seen what was available and that not all content was available. They also would have seen what the beta test was for.
I will leave you with this question...If you were the developer would you release all content in a beta and spoil everything for release?
