I SHOULD KEEP MY DUMB MOUTH SHUT INSTEAD OF SPEWING HORSESHIT ABOUT THE ORBITAL MECHANICS OF THE JAMES WEBB SPACE TELESCOPE.

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT A LAGRANGE POINT IS?

My PS3 has been doing that too, it stopped uploading my saves around Christmas for no apparent reason (my Vita is still doing it just fine though :shrug:).

Oh thank God. My PS3 has been doing this too and I thought it was dying or something.

How is ESF 4.1 compared to 2017 on the 360? Is still as satisfying to blow a giant spider away with a shotgun?

There are more ways to blow away giant spiders than ever. Also considering you didn't play 2025 you are in for an amazing time coming from 2017 as this is easily the best version of the game yet.

I'd be happy for P3 FES on PS4, but I dunno if I can go back to not controlling my party members fully.

I've changed a lot since I started hanging with Sonic, but I can't depend on him forever. I know I can do this by myself! Okay, Eggman! Bring it on!
I really don't think party control is that big of a deal. I never felt it necessary to turn it on in any of my P4 runs either. There's just a bit of a learning curve to the AI commands is all.

That Odin Sphere demo was pretty darn great. The art was amazing on the PS2 version, and it's even better on the new one.

Awesome!

While watching Mitsuru cast Marin Karin repeatedly on everything, even if you are going to die, is sort of annoying, P3 FES is actually trivially easy with full party control.

Not having party control really isn't that big of a deal and I think the game is too easy with it

It does support offline co-op and online multiplayer (grouping with friends / random people). The only thing it sadly dosen't support is taking your friend with you for online split-screen. Which leads to situations like last weekend where me and my two friends had 3 ps4's and 3 separate monitors in the same room playing online EDF which was a bit strange but awesome none the less

Bi-Han now we've got Bad Blood
i"d get the complaints if the answer changed anything.

If anything all it adds is that erebus is what would have driven nyx to end the world, and is why the protagonist became a seal, not for nyx he 'fought' against, but erebus. Otherwise persona 3 ending comes off as, 'well he died so humanity is forever happy now'

yeah it's silly and anime, but if that's the only thing you choose to critically observe then there's nothing to discuss here.

So what's on sale this week?

Oh, Sony is reading this thread, as Dragon Age 2 is on sale for $6 in a Playstation Essentials sale, along with the GTA Trilogy on PS2 on PS4 for $17.49 and various other goodies.

There's a Playstation 'Essentials' (ie: "old') games sale on. Activision still trying it's damndest to get people to pay over $20 for it's lovely Spider-man game.

I've been waiting for a good deal on AC: Black Flag, since I love the sailing bits and sea chanties so much. I'd quit it half-way though back in the day because the rest of the game is Assassin's Creed. It's on sale for $20 with or without the DLC.

Oh, and there's finally a sale on Xenogears you can thank me for since I bought it for full price recently. $3 for PS+ members ($4 for non-members).

So, is the Black Flag with DLC worth it for the $0.01 extra?

I've been waiting to pick this up for a while now. I think I'll pick up Second Son as well for $11.

I would say that Freedom Cry is worth at least a penny, yes.

I'm in for a few of these old PS1 RPGs because I lost the discs and I'll pay $3 to own them again.

As in the PS4 versions of all 3 games for $17.49 combined? If so, that's a pretty good deal and I'll get this despite having (re)bought some of them on PS3.

Man, $20 for Gone Home and $30 for The War is Mine is more than I was expecting for both. I'm still probably dumb enough to rebuy Gone Home because I really like that game but $20 is pretty steep also considering how short it is.

On the flip side, 7.50 for all 17 Capcom Arcade Cabinet games seems like a potentially pretty good deal.

Wild Arms 3 is going to come out on ps4 soon but i'm tempted to check out the original for 2 dollars now unless your guys think it didn't age well or something. i have a real problem with buying and not playing more than a few hours of ps1 rpgs

I suspect you'll do the same with WA. It's not a bad ps1 RPG, but it's a ps1 RPG through and through.

Wild Arms 1's graphics have aged like butt (more the battle graphics than the map graphics) but it has some pretty good dungeon design.

It's both thrilling and terrifying.
Is Xenogears playable on PS4 or only PS3?

Also, Wild Arms is one of the earliest PS1 JRPGs, so if you cut it a little slack, I think there's still a lot to enjoy.

Xenogears is playable on vita, psp, and ps3 and actually i find its graphics to be pretty charming vs. other games from the time.

I'll probably skip WA then and just get WA3 in a couple weeks/months when it launches for emulation

One last question: SotN only shows up in the ps3 section and not in the vita section of the sale - is it one of those rare "must have a ps3 to play it on vita" games or is it just another psn oversight? thanks

None of the PSOne classics are playable on PS4
