Episode 2 of Life is Strange was pretty disappointing as there are two separate instances where
you can let Chloe die and each time you are forced to rewind and make her live. I want her gone!

It's a game in fairly new puzzle subgenre, which I call "draw the line"
(no, not any line)
. It's not LYNE, then again what is, but if you like LYNE, there is a good chance you'll like this one too. It's a zen game, I can't still say how good it is as a puzzle game, as I still keep doing medium puzzles, and advanced is where stuff gets serious, at least I hope so.

It's a blatant clone of Mitchell's 2004 Polarium
Wouldn't really call it new. :)

On a related note the OT sounds like something from Spongebob episode with the Magic Conch Shell.

"Orange you glad it's morningbus?"

The conch says "no"

Dunno about you guys but if a game is Console Exclusive on the PS4, even if it doesn't need Sony to save it from not being made, then GAF rejoices.
If the same would occur but be on the XBone, GAF and the internet are in an uproar.

You obviously have not visited bloodborne threads pre-release.

B-b-but are we ABSOLUTELY SURE its an exclusive?

Dark Souls came out on PC so Bloodborne is definitely coming out on PC right?

They wouldn't say no to all the PCMasterRace money.

B-b-but it'll look best on PC!!!

This is a pretty cool update for Verdun, if a player doesn't go out of the trench when the team charges they will go insane.

http://steamcommunity.com/games/242860/announcements/detail/248036961299239663

Update in gameplay: Verdun will punish non attacking players with insanity
Community Announcements - BlackMill | Leo
Today we introduce an important and long-awaited new feature to the game: faked insanity.


"wibble"

Players who do not participate in "going over the top" when the momentum shifts in their favor during a frontline match, and practice what some players in the community are calling "camping" or "cowardice" will be given two pencils and a pair of underpants, and declared insane. In addition they will be permanently renamed to "wibble" and all of their chat messages reduced to gibberish.

To be sure a cunning plan, but I'm not sure I can trust such a plan that adders in the black so heavily.

Polarium clone or not, looks like it could be a nice puzzle game if advance is tricky enough.

Anyone else having performance issues with pillars? I had a whole sequence run at 9 fps just now. My average fps in the game is around 25-30 as well. Really strange.

Dark Souls 2 is releasing on XBone and was released on 360; why is there no uproar on Bloodborne being a PS4 exclusive, when there was a big one for Rise of the Tomb Raider?

When I learned RoTR was XBone exclusive, I didn't feel upset or anything, I just don't want it to be another Uncharted clone and be closer to the older games
Funnily enough, my friend has an XBone, I forgo to tell him he can play Rise of the Tomb Raider. So I'll ask around some XBone peeps if he could get it cheaper from XBL USA or somethin'.

Because Tomb Raider was seen as a "betrayal" it's unexpected for something so big and originally Sony focused to be exclusive to one console, especially the one seen as the runner up.

Bloodborne on the other hand is technically a new IP, niche and if anything isn't unexpected as its returning to roots, Souls started as a Sony exclusive after all.
Don't get me wrong I'd love to have Bloodborne on pc but it's also gave me an excuse to chisel off the dust from my PS4 >_>

New IP, shmuu IP; it plays like a Souls game, you can change the name however you want but it follows elements of its predecessors. Ergo it is part of the Souls game series; why was there no uproar on it being a PS4 exclusive?

To add to this, take into consideration Falcom's Dragon Slayer series:
https://www.amusement-center.com/project/egg/special/package_dragonslayerchronicle/

Now look at what games the series comprises of
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_Slayer

Even games that branched out to their own are considered part of the greater series.

Following that, Bloodborne is part of the Souls series.

Apologies if I'm being rude but my primary point here is how it seems hypocritical to rage on a game being exclusive to a console, but being OK with another game being exclusive to another.

Mind you when Bayo 2 was announced years ago as a Wii U exclusive, people did rage it was only when the Wii U got a good amount of Nintendo First party games, and the release of Metal Gear Rising, that the opinion to Bayo 2's exclusivity has gotten lighter and become accepted

They announced it for all systems, then said it was xboxone exclusive. After the inevitable backlash of muh MS moneyhats, they had to clarify it was a limited window exclusive.

Pretty dick move to leave out those key words.


Whereas Sony gave FROM money and told them to make them a game. Kinda like MS with Scalebound, and I'm not complaining about that.


Also yes its kind of a Souls exclusive. Demon's Soul exclusive. There are a couple of hints in the world that links it to DeS, and last I checked, DeS isn't on PC and xbox.


Let's face it, you're just a mountain of salt.

Also obligatory Sony doesn't have enough money to buy exclusivity from a multiplat lol.

Tomb Raider was announced as a multiplatform game that was turned into an exclusive, which pissed people off. Bloodborne was an exclusive from the onset, just like Demon's Souls before and Bloodborne isn't Dark souls 3. The fact that From made the Dark Souls games as a multiplatform series doesn't mean every game they'll make in the future will be multiplatform, just like games they made in the past weren't.

Well if I'm salty, it isn't about the games being exclusive, but rather the general reaction to the news of their exclusivity. Even though I'm getting a PS4 soon I ain't salty or mad at RoTR being a timed exclusive.

To add, notice how so far everyone brings up an excuse or 'acceptable reasoning' for games being exclusive to the PS4.

They licensed CryEngine. Probably means they're making something? Or they're implementing it into a machine on the OS level?

I see no other reason to license an engine.
