Oh I dunno, I only played that briefly. Can you permanently steal things that other players paid real money for?

You can pay money for gta money, and unless you have money on you, nobody can take it, and even then, I think the most someone can take is like 200 bucks per death or some small number like that. They can't steal your cars or weapons

Do they still have the stupid thing where if you kill people without any money, you pay for their resurrection? That's about the only way I can think of people "stealing" paid-for money.

I'm having a problem with my gold headset. While I was playing D3 a goon connected with me and for the life of me I couldn't hear him at all, only a slight whisper is what I got. I couldn't really double check if it's me or not cause I don't have too many friends on PSN. The rest of the sound from the game is good. Is there a setting that I'm missing?

There is a setting that says "sound/chat" that changes the balance of the game sound and chat volume. Mess with that and see if it makes things better.

Thank you, I'll end up getting this one then. Anyone have suggestions on thumbstick covers? A lot of people talk about FPS Freaks but I wouldn't know which ones to look for exactly. I need something that makes the sticks wider and has a better grip, since my thumb while playing usually slips off and I start moving the stick from the underside of it.

Also got my Crusader to level 70 in Diablo 3. Levels 50 to 60 are the most annoying as far as that goes. They just seem to go by slower than even 60 to 70. Well, I only have Monk and Witch Doctor left to level up and then I will have leveled every class. Will probably still stick with the Wizard post 70. LASER BEAMS.

These are pretty much a no-brainer unless you want to disassemble your controller and put in Bone sticks. http://www.kontrolfreek.com/fps/fps-freek-cqc.html

I ordered from them and had no problems besides a huge delay at customs and no tracking after that, but should be fine for 'Murica.

Can you explain what it is about Phantom Brave you liked? Because I hated that game.

Also Disgaea 4 is probably the best game they made.

It's been a very long time so I can't give much detail, but I found it an extremely satisfying challenge, and I was a big fan of the complex, gridless combat. Their games after PB rapidly became far too easy. Also, the music was great.

I didn't even finish the main plot of D4. NI just seem completely creatively exhausted.

Phantom Brave was one of their easiest games to shatter into pieces though. You can end up being ni-unstoppable within minutes of starting the game. I can understand disliking the later games but not because they're easier than Phantom Brave.

Ah, see, I found the gridless combat to be outright broken, and all of the leveling systems poorly designed at best. It doesn't help that the writing didn't draw me in at all.

Makai Kingdom improved on PB's systems a lot (especially by dropping the turn limit on confining), but it still played very poorly in comparison to its contemporaries. Still, thanks for responding. I always wondered why people liked that game. :)

E: Note that I also gave up on Phantom Brave very early on. I really disliked its systems. Good writing can overcome problems with systems - I finished Makai Kingdom, after all - but man Phantom Brave did nothing for me.

I am looking at getting a charging station for the PS4. Seems like the official Sony one is only available in Europe so I can only find this one that some people seem to like:

http://www.amazon.com/DualShock-Controller-Charging-Station-PlayStation-4/dp/B00ENFVJJO

Any thoughts on this or other good ones? I would prefer ones like this that the controller sits upside down in it.

This one is perfect for me. It passes my silly standards of quality connections, sturdiness, all that. Locking and releasing the controllers feels nice and solid too, it's rather satisfying.

The Legend
Finally had time to sink into Diablo 3 this weekend, and holy crap we're having a blast. New class is tons of fun to play, and the game seems even more generous with loot that the initial console version. Killed our first Nemesis today and it felt GOOD (you're welcome Lockemurph, if you're reading this). It was also nice to boot up the game and have 15+ legendaries waiting for me from other goons.

I was kind of surprised to find that they drop discrete loot for players now. In the vanilla version, it was just free for all if you were playing couch co-op, now most if not all items are tagged to the player.

Kinda surprising/good that the record for top new IP will be broken twice in one year (even if Watch Dogs is so similar to AssCreed and Destiny is so similar to Halo).

You're both aware that record isn't held by either Watch_Dogs or Destiny, but by Minecraft, right?

Sorry, guy.
Perhaps better asked in the GTA ONLINE thread, but I have a feeling I'm not the only one to want to know this:


I played GTA5/Online for a good month or two. I had a great time online. For totally unrelated reasons, I moved on (oh wait... PS4!) right around the time they started nerfing payouts .


Is there someone who can say (or some kind of list I can be pointed to) that shows the general "state of the union" of GTA Online? (With regards to changes they have made (for the better and the worse?) like do you still get put in dunce-land hell for blowing up other player vehicles?! As much fun as I had, I swear to god they made some idiot decisions and I hope to god they've righted some of that

If we're counting every copy sold before the 1.0 version was released, I think that's about 4 million.

That would be retarded. So let's not. People were buying and playing it as a product pre 1.0. That's like counting Steam Early Access as pre-orders. It's not. At best it'd paid beta access, and you get the game for free for being a tester.

Exactly. All the sim games feel so dry while Hot Shots manages to nail the more video-game feel of early computer golf sims with its gameplay. The characters and customizations are silly but add fun to what is such a quintessentially dry sport.

Hot Shots is the Caddyshack to Tiger Woods' Tin Cup. It's more fun and accurate enough to real golf anyway.
