Where there is power
There is resistance

If you have PlayStation Plus, make sure you claim everything for a given month even if you don't have that system yet. This has become something of a mantra for Plus subscribers, but it bears repeating; it's possible to pick up a Vita now and have literally dozens of games to download and play for free without spending another dime. Now that we're adding everything at the start of the month, too, you won't miss anything as long as you get in before the next Instant Game Collection refresh.

Wait, how does this work?

Putting a game in your download queue (even if you immediately cancel it) is kind of a purchase history and it is hardware-independent.

Huh, thanks. I didn't realize that the RAM was such a huge deal. At this rate I am probably going to wait until Dragon Age: Inquisition is out and then buy one, since I'll have enough in my budget to comfortably fit one in at that point and that is the one game I'm actually interested in.

Although I had never heard of Bloodborne, that looks cool and with these new revelations about RAM I am interested to see what a Dark Souls type game can do with the higher power. Thanks guys.
I know this is a late reply but the guy who made Demon's Souls and Dark Souls made Bloodborne, it's gonna be fantastic and you should buy all editions of it at this point.

Can someone give me a jumping off point on what to do in Fez without any outright cheating? I finished close to %50 and I just feel stuck on every area I run into. Someone said that the fake language is important, I realize that, but I really don't even know how the game works half way through and trying to decipher treasure maps hasn't been much help. If I enter an area can I solve it within it, or am supposed be collecting something from other areas (outside of obvious stuff like keys)? because I feel like I have sort hit a brick wall.

Is there any way to view trailers on the ps4 without either using the ign app, which is horrible and has like 10 trailers tops or browsing to youtube which barely even works? On the 360 I could just browse to a game's page and get a list of trailers but here the most I can find is some screenshots, and that's not even for all games. I just want to watch the TGS 2014 trailers on the ps4

Dec 16, 2007

Been a while since I played Fez, but if I recall correctly you can only go so far without figuring out the language or using a guide. It's still fun up to that point, though. If you want to take a stab at the the language yourself, I think you should look for a classroom .

The fake language has everything to do with it. If you see writing on pedestals or monoliths, you need to decipher it to "beat" that room.

Shadow of Mordor is what I'll be getting barring bad reviews, apart from that I got my eye on Driveclub with Lords of the Fallen as a possible third option. Anyone know if the Driveclub PS+ price of 50 usd is only for the pre order?

There are so many games coming out in the next few months that I don't know how the hell to prioritize them, and the fact that they're mostly huge open-world or role-playing games doesn't help. Shadows of Mordor is guaranteed to get some playtime by virtue of being first out the gate. Alien Isolation, Evil Within, and Lords of the Fallen are all on the maybe pile if I get time and they review well. November is even worse with Far Cry 4 and Little Big Planet 3 forcing Assassin's Creed and Dragon Age onto the January backlog since I'm itching to play Kingdom Hearts 2 and Birth By Sleep in December. Then there's Bloodborn, The Order, and Witcher 3 in February with Type-0 waiting in March.

It shouldn't be. The discount is meant to represent you upgrading from the free PS+ edition to the full edition, so it would only make sense to still apply post-release.

When you are in a room with a ?, try hitting random combos of L2 and R2.

about half of the secrets are just "input the correct sequence of l2 and r2" and the language in the room tells you the sequence.

Evil Within is in my sights, I mean the guy who made Godhand is behind it and he was also part of the Resident Evil 4 team so I feel like this game is in good hands.

Alien Isolation has me very wary considering the track record of the Alien franchise with games (very spotty, but the beat ems up were loving awesome) and I"m not going to try to get burned like Colonial Marines.

Never.

I prefer just using the regular Youtube website, especially since the youtube.tv interface is horrible, and doesn't let you browse channels easily or choose the video resolution. If the regular Youtube interface is too small, then you can press R3 to zoom in.

However, you can use the Youtube app on a smartphone with youtube.tv, and choose which video to play from there. This lets you browse through playlists or other channels while watching the current video on the TV.

SamBishop posted:

Flip it a little and imagine an English voice actor for a game has passed away. You don't really care about the other voice actors internationally (not that you have a choice in most games, but stay with me here), so if, say, the French voice for Athena or Cortana dies, do Santa Monica Studio or 343 Studios retire the character?

It's a Japanese game, and those voice actors are even more important there than they are here. We see it as an iconic voice actor getting snubbed (and I do still feel that's the case), but would you know if a German Kratos was swapped out?

I suppose I'm more meaning to point out the hypocrisy of it all. It just hits a bit closer too, considering this is a very "American" Japanese game, even though that really doesn't matter in the end since it's for all of the American influences it has, it's still Japanese at its core. It's a very weird circumstance.

And through all of this, I think that it's something that could totally have been avoided if Kojima and Konami would have just used some brains. If they would have used Hayter for Ground Zeroes and then switched in Sutherland for TPP, it would be far less jarring. Peoples' vocal chords change over time, and a ten year gap is going to affect people. Aside from that, we all know that having Snake versus Big Boss would be weird if they both sounded the same. That's why they had two different voice actors in MGS4, or why John Cygan voiced Solidus in MGS2.

All this said, I'm pretty much the only one crazy enough to keep rattling on about this, so I'll shut up and get back in my corner for now.

I just bought FF14 for my brand new PS4. I do all the registering and stuff, and get to the initial downloading or whatever the gently caress. Says it's going to take 100 minutes or so to download about 4 gigs.

I don't close the application, which is FF14. So I'm on the ps home screen with ff14 still downloading, then I go to standby mode thinking it will continue downloading while in standby. It didn't, and I am wondering why. I just got back home and I have 100 minutes to wait before i play the loving game. Why did it not download in standby?

Pretty much all the MMO style games on PS4 run their own little installer that is separate from the PSN download system and doesn't really play by the same rules.
