I've found the Tau thingy to increase your space folder range and the geoscan to be essential to a good game. Unfortunately finding these things is too luck-based for my liking. Everything has to come together for a good run. |

So, so far this year I have purchased: <14.99> - Crusader Kings 2 (Mac/PC) <8.88> - DLC tracks for Rocksmith 2014 (Mac/PC) <5.49> - TxK (PS Vita) <11.99> - The Last Of Us: Left Behind (PS3) <7.99> - Ys Chronicles I & II (PSP/Vita) <0.99> - Deus Ex: The Fall (Android) <5.83> - Luftrausers (PS3/Vita) <4.99> - Bioshock Infinite (Mac/PC) £61.15 total. Eeesh. |

Well, I'm meant to be being sensible with my purchasing this year and I was planning on getting either MGSV: Ground Zeroes or Diablo III at some point this week (just maxed out the starter version of D3 so want to continue - though £33 seems a bit steep for a game that came out in 2012). Also, I haven't even touched Crusader Kings 2 or Deus Ex: The Fall (although it was a quid, so I won't lose any sleep over that one). |

Also nothing wrong with the PS3 (now). Having spent an extensive time with both PS3 and 360, I'd argue it's been the better console since c2010. |

The control pad's still shite mind. Relatedly, I was killing five minutes in Game over lunch time and the PS4 control pad does seem like a massive improvement. I couldn't say for sure though because why would you want people to be able to actually play any games on your demo machine when, instead, you could just unplug the controllers and use it as player for the endlessly looped promotional video that doesn't show any game play? The Wii U machine was the same; cued up to the title screen of Rayman with 'PRESS START' flashing tantalisingly but no fucking response from the controller. What's the thinking behind that? Why would you do it? Fucking shitwits. |

Yeah, the PS4 controller is much much better than the awful PS3 one. That's a definitively stated fact. |

Stil, they should show something that shows the game off though rather than a press start screen. Having people playing with and enjoying your product is the point of having a demo station surely? Even if some kids were to monopolise it at least other people would be able to see some games actually running rather than just the horrible demo reel of Twat 1 inviting Twat 2 to play games with him/her. It just seems counter-productive to me, especially in a city centre on a Monday lunch time when you're not likely to attract many kids. |

Although I use one (a previous version of) one of these. which offsets the shitness of the dualshock somewhat. Sadly, it appears to be dying somewhat. And has no motion control. Next version after that one looks much improved again, but still no motion control. |
