how the gently caress would xbl auto-renew if you used prepaid cards? it'd be one thing if we were talking about the straight up shifty poo poo gyms do to keep you locked in but we're talking about reading some stuff and ticking a box.

Is Nidhogg online just totally dead? I've yet to get a single online match going, in spite of trying every half hour or so for a couple of hours.

I'm talking about if you have a credit card or PayPal on your account (if you do it will auto renew even if you used a prepaid card last time). Still my point is most people don't read, and don't untick that box.

Its not just the US, literally every single service you just named will auto renew and/or automatically start your subscription in the UK and isn't disallowed by the EU. Hell, one credit check company I used autosubs you after your online free trial, and then only has phone options for cancelling a subscription even if you signed up online. Companies are loving poo poo all over. edit: Oh yeah I forgot Xbox live, a service that has a clause in its terms and conditions that allows them to automatically charge your new card after your old one expires even if you never give them the card number for the new card in any way. gently caress that.

One of my Dualshock 4s is defective  The left analog stick is super jittery and I've noticed it while playing Destiny and confirmed when plugging into my PC. Cursor jumps around a lot and it will cause me to randomly stop sprinting every now and then. Hopefully the RMA process is painless.

In the UK at least it's in the T&Cs: http://www.xbox.com/en-GB/Legal/LiveTOU Specifically: quote:6.2. Your billing account. To pay the charges for a Service, you will be asked to provide a payment method at the time you sign up for that Service. You can access and change your billing account information and payment method on the Billing and Account Management website (https://commerce.microsoft.com). Additionally, you agree to permit Microsoft to use any updated account information regarding your payment method provided by your issuing bank or the applicable payment network. If you tell us to stop using your payment method and don't provide us with another payment method after our notice to you to do so within an appropriate timeframe, we may suspend or cancel your paid Service for good cause. You agree to keep your billing account and contact information current at all times. Changes made to your billing account won't affect charges we submit to your billing account before we could reasonably act on your changes to your billing account. Always read what you're signing up for on any paid service. edit: It may be that certain banks won't provide new billing info automatically but it's unlikely, and the bank I use is well known and one of the major banks in the UK and had no qualms about it. Also I didn't save logs/screenshot it but xbox live support explicitly confirmed this for me when I contacted them about an auto renewal charge on a new card.

I don't mind it, but it's the "intentionally bad controls add to the tension!" Resident Evil rationalization, 20 years later. I'm about done with chapter 6 and it's one of my favorite games of the year so far.

drat, I really think I figured out Pix the Cat arcade mode. It just clicked. - Don't rush through all the stages, spend more time perfecting each one (fewer mistakes) - Fever, fever, fever. It's fine if you break fever by eating eggs out of order, but dont break it by stepping on your ducktail or ramming an enemy - Get into Fever faster by dashing against walls, when the bar is almost at Fever you can just sit in a tiny room and turndash over and over, watch that score rise - during Fever eat as many enemies as possible for those sweet 10k point boosts, some stages have as many as 6 dudes floating around! - you cant eat spikeballs no matter what Just broke 100,000 points. valleyofdoom, I'm coming for your score, mofo! edit; I'm pretty sure Pix the Cat is one of the only 'hardcore' games I've played that only uses directions/no buttons...at least since Pac Man. The trophies are insane! BeanpolePeckerwood fucked around with this message at 04:42 on Oct 17, 2014 |

I never played TLOU so I jumped all over the $30 deal. I don't get into singleplayer action/adventure games much (only other recent one I think was inFamous) but I am liking this one. Not in love with the controls, and normal is plenty hard enough for me (again, I don't play a lot of this sort of game) but the overall package is really good.

Did you guys know there's a White PS4? Because Sony's RMA system doesn't. Had to contact support to open a request, because their system only lists the black PS4's model number. (I had to open the request because my system likes to shut itself off in the middle of doing things, or turn on in the middle of the night and beep incessantly while it continuously restarts itself, it also likes to get stuck in safe mode until you unplug the dang thing.)

I do wonder why he said D4 will never be on PS4 after also saying it is owned 100% by his company. A PS4 version could be good - make it a PS+ free game at launch, possibly creating more awareness and popularity, allowing for the development of following episodes, and it could maybe create even more demand for the camera.

In the USA giving someone your CC# is pretty much free reign to charge you money until you die, poke around in the user contract or yell at them on them on the phone enough to get them to gently caress off. I envy your situation.

Which games outside of Just Dance & Alien Isolation use the camera in any way? I got one for Alien - because they're not very populour they actually offer the best value for money in pre-owned deals right now (£20 discount) - and love the experience tbh, but hoping something else is out or is going to be released.

Playroom is dedicated to the camera (and I think it's free?) and I know NBA 2K gives you a technical foul if you swear during the game (or sneeze in a way that will be interpreted as such).

Hey guys, sorry if this has been asked before but just needed to ask a very quick question. I recently got a PS4 this Wednesday and was happily playing Shadows of Mordor on it before I needed to head back to my home town for a family funeral. I have come back today to find that it is refusing to start saying that I need to "connect a USB storage device that contains an update file for re-installation for version 1.76 or later". Any idea why this might be? I only recently got it (used but from a reputable company) and it was working just fine, any help would be appreciated (and yes I do plan on getting a USB device and plugging it I just need to go out and buy one first) anyway, thanks for your time and I do apologise for bothering you.

So, Destiny. I actually like Destiny overall. It wasn't what I expected but playing through the campaign and PvP was actually a pretty fun experience. However, while I was ready to be done with it I have buddies who got the game and are much more amenable to the mindless grind of the end-game and, since there's no matchmaking in raids they're relying on me to do the grind as well. It's really frustrating and stupid and I've spent way too many nights playing the same levels for the hundredth time when I'd rather be playing Shadow of Mordor

Just stop then. I was in a similar situation to you, I enjoyed Destiny but reached Level 20 and then couldn't be bothered to grind up for the raid, it stopped being fun. So I traded it in and got Shadow of Mordor instead, no regrets.
