Better than the original release
on January 17, 2017
Posted by: Cloudrift
Verified Purchase:Yes
When Battlefront was first released last year, its content was lacking. There weren't too many worlds you could play and the fact that it was multiplayer only hurt the game a lot.
This edition changes thing around and adds in all the DLC packs (it's basically the season pass) giving the game a lot more content and playability. Moreover, the game now lets you play with bots on your own so it solves the lack of single player content slightly (an actual campaign would be better).
If you're a Star Wars fan and enjoy multiplayer shooters, you will probably enjoy this version of Battlefront. Battlefield 1 would be a better choice, but the arcadey nature of this game does make it easier to pick up and play.

This is a great product to hold a lot of your Blu-Rays and video games. It's fairly sturdy to boot. Assembly probably took me around 20 minutes or so.

Straightforward PSN network card

There's not much to say about this card other than it's being a great way to buy stuff on PSN without having to use a credit card. Sometimes you might be able to find this on sale, which makes it even more useful for PSN purchases.

A review of the single player campaign
on November 30, 2016
Posted by: Cloudrift
Verified Purchase:Yes
As someone who play games mainly for the single player, I'll be reviewing the single player portion of Battlefield 1.
Battlefield games traditionally have lousy single player stories. For BF1, the story fares better. The single player is broken down into five separate stories that follows the war from five perspectives: a British tank driver, an American pilot, an Italian elite soldier, an Australian message runner, and a Bedouin rebel. Most stories have four missions though some have only two.
The stories for each are so brief that you don't really have enough time to bond with each character. Nevertheless, you're given enough to care about their mission, see their personalities, and understand their motivation.
Gameplay wise, the story missions are diverse with the range of tactics you use. While most missions are really linear, some of them take a more sandbox approach with how you approach your objective. What's great about the single player is that it helps prepare you for the multiplayer game if you're interested in that aspect.
The sound design and graphics are wonderful just to note. Performance wise, framerate seems to be stable at 60 fps most of the time. If you're playing on the Pro, the resolution will constantly be 1080p as oppose to the dynamic resolution at 900p.
Overall, it took me 8-10 hours to finish the campaign since I also finished all the codex (challenges) and collected all the field manuals. If you can find the game on sale, I would recommend it for the single player content though the game is a no brainer if you're into multiplayer.

An excellent sequel for Soul fans
on October 24, 2016
Posted by: Cloudrift
Verified Purchase:Yes
Dark Souls 3 is the third game in the Soul series. It's very similar to past games, which can be a bad or good thing depending on you feel about previous games.
Instead of spells being granted a set number of use, you have a focus bar that depletes with each spell cast. New to this entry are weapon arts, which are special attacks used by melee weapons that deplete the focus bar. Spells do feel downgraded in power in this entry compared to past games unless you invest in a lot of points for sorcery or faith. Casting also takes far too long considering how aggressive enemies are now.
Much like Bloodborne, the combat is a bit faster than past Dark Soul games. You also can't upgrade your armor either. There are a lot more weapon variations though many are clones with different stats as oppose to Bloodborne where each weapon is unique. Challenge wise the game has a more gradual difficulty climb as oppose to past games though being a veteran of the series will certainly help; the game is also not easy by any means either.
Art direction is superb as well with the environment and enemies you face. Graphically speaking, I would say the game is about on par with Bloodborne or so. Unfortunately, performance could be better as the game doesn't run at a locked 30 fps.
The game will run you easily 50 hours + if you go through all the area and side quests. If you're not tired of the Soul games yet, I would highly recommend picking this up.

A good remaster
on October 17, 2016
Posted by: Cloudrift
Verified Purchase:Yes
Resident Evil 6 is considered the weakest of the Resident Evil main franchise. There are many reasons for this such as the Michael Bay stylized frequent explosions and set pieces to the rampant Quick Time Events. The story isn't the best and there is a lot of backtracking with all the individual campaigns. For those who favor the traditional survivor horror experience, you will find it strange to be using cover shooting in a Resident Evil game.
Nevertheless, the game's combat system is more fleshed out and being able to shoot, while moving is a huge plus compared to earlier games (the Revelation games have adopted this). The more in-depth melee and countering system gives you more option aside from just using your guns. The game's story is also a decent length with four campaigns each lasting about five hours each. Fortunately, you don't have to babysit your A.I. partner though the game is best played in co-op.
The best part about this remaster is that the game runs at a higher framerate that usually hits 60 fps. For RE6, this is a huge improvement since the game's combat is much more faster paced compared to earlier entries. This version also includes all the DLC for mercenaries and the various mode.
If you haven't played RE6 yet, this is the version to get and for the price it's definitely worth picking up given its wealth of content.

Good remaster of two great Borderland games
on September 19, 2016
Posted by: Cloudrift
Verified Purchase:Yes
This collection includes Borderland 2 and Borderlands the Pre-Sequel. If you loved Borderlands, this is definitely a game you should be picked up if you skipped these games last generation. They are the same games, but with all the DLC included. You'll get a ton of hours of content, and it's especially great if you can play it with friends.
Performance wise, the game runs natively at 1080p (except for cutscenes) with a mostly 60 fps. It's highly recommended that you download the latest patch since in the initial release the framerate doesn't stay at a consistent 60 fps. Graphics wise, the game is similar to how it runs on the PC at high settings. Unfortunately, PhysX isn't enabled on the PS4 version.

Wonderful, entertaining action sci-fi film
on May 23, 2016
Posted by: Cloudrift
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a great sci-fi action film that I would recommend to any fans of the genre. If you don't typically watch these films, I would give it a try at least. Emily Blunt and Tom Cruise are charismatic leads and well-acted leads. Even if you don't like Tom Cruise, you still want to see it just to see the number of ways he can die in this film.
Otherwise, the direction and the action in this movie are noteworthy. There is no shaky cam or rapid cuts here; you can distinguish what's going on in the action sequences unlike some other movies. The script is good enough on its own and there are some rather amusing moments throughout the film despite the somewhat dark premise of the alien invasion.

Excellent for streaming audio from a PC or phone
on March 8, 2016
Posted by: Cloudrift
Verified Purchase:Yes
Chromecast audio is easy to set up and use. Unlike your regular Chromecast, you don't have to worry about finding a HDMI port or finding a screen to connect it with. For this, all you need is a speaker and if you have an audio receiver with an optical input, the sound quality will be real amazing.
The only small con is that there's no native support for casting audio straight from your PC to the Chromecast. If you want to play your music from your PC, you'll have to use a media hosting server program like Plex.
