Man, there's a lot of hate for Killzone. I thought it was fun and the Multiplayer is a blast. Single Player I had more fun than many shooters except for a few space missions and those stupid wave defense sections near the end. CoOp sucks for the same reason Evolve does. Everyone needs to be on the ball for it. *shrugs*

The best Killzone game is the PSP one. Shame you can't use the fifth chapter on the Vita.

Agreed, I'm legitimately sad they never did a sequel to that one in the same vein.

How does Geometry Wars 3 compare to Rezogun? My only gripe about that game is that the levels aren't random.

its not going to be random either if that's what you want, most of those kind of games aren't. Play Luftrausers maybe, that's the best one with random spawns I can think of off the top of my head

If Shadowfall is my first Killzone (and I don't have a PS3 or want PSNow) is it STILL not worth $5? That's such a low price point and I've paid a little more than that for basically toys (Beam.NG, Universe Sandbox, etc.).

I think $5 is a good asking price. Nothing to write home about outside of its graphics and multiplayer (which has since been outclassed). The more interesting stuff was the resolution upscale method in multiplayer that got a lot of panties in a twist, including someone trying to sue Sony for lying about the golden cow that is 1080/60fps, and the usual fanboy PS/XBOX pissing contests of the time.

nah, Geometry Wars spawning is totally deterministic. its a bit less obvious in GW3 than it was in the earlier games though

Couldn't resist the deal on Jackbox 1 & 2 for :10bux:. I had a blast playing it with friends, and it would be easy to get up a game going with the streaming feature.

Is Wolf Among Us similar to Tales from the Borderlands? Or is it more like Back to the Future / Tales of Monkey Island?

I had an amazing time with TFTB, and would love another game that leans more towards interactive movie than adventure game.

It is similar to current Telltale, so yes TFTB is comparable. I would not call it anywhere near as good, but it's definitely worth checking out.

I thought it was most like Walking Dead, in terms of tone. It's pretty dark. I also liked it much better than TFTB, but then again I can't stand Borderland's edgy and tWizTed and oh-so-random monkey cheese style of humor.

Freedom Wars is great fun to play against the big bosses, but mixes them at a ratio of 2/3 boss battles with 1/3 battles against humans, a few of which must be done solo and can't be cheesed. It also front-loads a lot of story, and has a few jokey "get penalized for running" bits which may upset you if you're a serious person. Also, if you are a min-max completionist and can't just roll with whatever bullshit you have, the crafting system will drive you bat-poo poo insane since every craft takes x minutes realtime and there's a lot of randomness involved to get the best gear.

If however you can focus on the fun gameplay you get to saw gigantic robots apart while swinging around on your grappling hook and wielding a 4-barreled rocket launcher.

Persona 3 is Persona. If you like P4G, you'll probably like it too. If you like SMT proper, it'll probably be a disappointment. How do you feel about anime teenager murder mystery stories?

Generally I vastly prefer Persona 3 Portable compared to the FES version on the store, but it has a few cons.

Pro:

New Female protangist who with has unique social links and the script is changed to reflect her. It also changes the battle theme and Taurus boss theme.

Also has the Persona 4 combat changes, like the much needed direct control of party members. So a certain person in your party won't try casting confuse on the last boss anymore.

Con:

The areas that are not in the dungeons are now just a 2D map now. Which means no more roaming around town, but at the same time it way faster to move around places.

Also no more anime cutscenes. Those are now in-engine, even on the male path.

Freedom wars has an overlong opening that makes the first 2 hours really bad to play.
it also only has a handful of maps so its pretty boring killing the same poo poo in the same place after a while.
the crafting is very obtuse too.

otherwise its one of the better 3rd person shooters on handheld that i've played, grappling hook is pretty cool too but the game doesn't have the content and varied playstyles of soul sacrifice or other hunter games and really should have been better.

Sheesh, how loving often does Sony's DB get hacked and passwords stolen? I had just changed my password recently, and always use extremely long passwords with upwards of 20 or more characters that are unique. I never share it with anyone, and I only access PSN through my PS4 and Vita. Yet, I noticed a password change message (that didn't even actually change my password) and several messages saying free things had been purchased in my email. Now I have some guy from Germany emailing me saying he bought my account from a shady site. I'm thinking there is absolutely zero way that this could even happen short of actual hacking or brute forcing, which given Sony's track record doesn't seem impossible.

Is there even any phone number I can call or email address I can reach to yell at Sony for this?

There's a number on their site that you can call for support. Temper your expectations. They'll help you, but they likely won't care.
