Every time I see Battleborn in these sales my brains tries to figure out what is supposed to be represented on the cover art and fails.

It runs like rear end, but still, XCOM on the go and the price is rathe reasonable. Also, no DLC (but it has Enemy Within core gameplay additions) and no regional voices, everyone speaks English.

Which should be your first hint that the characters are less "designed" and more "assembled"

It runs alright, I mean, like others have said it looks pretty bad, but it has the Enemy Within content in it and it's XCOM on the go so I can't complain too hard. It also means I've bought XCOM 5 times now. I have a problem.

So Playstation Now is on PCs. And while it still suffers from "pretty average turnout", at least you don't have to subject yourself to a shittier net connection on the PS4.

I tried it. It does what it does. Just gotta plug your controller into the computer, which y'all probably do anyway.

Has anyone ever found a definitive answer to the Vita XCOM's map count? I had the iOS version, and to fit the smaller filesize they gutted over half the maps. Didn't care about the lack of customisation, lovely textures, any of that, but losing the maps eas a dealbreaker. Enemy Within added a ton of new maps too, and that was sold separately on iOS and I never found out what the map count was on that version.

I would buy XCOM for the 5th time if I knew it had all the battlefields.

This is the LE DLC bundle for the Touhou game that came out today. Given that most of the items in this bundle cost money individually, I don't think it is supposed to be free. Grab it while you can.

Hi, gently caress you for this. I have a compulsion to grab free stuff like this "just in case" and now my PS4 library has an entry for an anime game that I don't own and cannot hide.

Karma is real.

Same, but I'm also not paranoid about people seeing my PS4 download history even if I never play it so thanks for passing along the potential glitch free goods and keep up the good work.

I had the same thought last time Battleborn was on sale and I played it for no more than two hours before shelving it permanently. Overwatch is way better, and I didn't particularly like Overwatch.

Oof, OK, thanks! I'm pretty much in the same boat when it comes to Overwatch. Played it habitually for about a month, and just wasn't really improving or having much fun. Found myself ending each play session more aggravated than satisfied.

I'm considering buying it too, because XCOM 2 is almost here, and the only way I can play XCOM would be to boot up the PS3. Vita would be better and also portable.


Because this is Enemy Unknown Plus, it actually includes the content from Enemy Within? That's what the review says. So it's probably got a decent map count even if the original is gutted, as long as there's more added from Enemy Within?


Only thing I found was a reddit post saying it had all the maps.

Is there a way to get another free trial for PSNow? I wasted the one I week one by trying out Tokyo Jungle for a hour and never touching it for the rest of the time.

Some people prefer not walking all the way over to their PS4? I mean, I don't mind but yeah.

Besides, the specs seem low enough to provide a good entry.

Got through Journey in a single hour and a half sitting. It was really well done. The ending feels a bit disjointed from the rest but I guess it was never going for a "here's what you were attempting to do" vibe.

Invisible Inc is cool, I was hoping for more of a "what strange and silly ways can I gently caress the guards over" like MGS and Dishonored but your characters start off naked and you're slightly at the mercy of the RNG of what gadgets you get to play with so you end up ghosting and doing lots of strategic door opening and closing.

this is weird but whatever. awhile ago my dad started playing the fat princess mobile game. when i talked to him just now he complained that he has been unable to connect to the server for a couple weeks which means he cant get some sort of weekly special puzzle or something. anyone have any ideas i could give him to try? he says he has tried both his phone and ipad and multiple networks.

yeah i was really liking it at first but i think you need to play endless for a long time to see a lot of the options and break the monotony of the levels in the short story campaign

FWIW, I tried asking Jake Solomon on Twitter, he said he didn't know as it wasn't ported in-house. Suggested contacting 2K directly.

Though it would be better to get it cheaper with the Amazon discount if you have Prime and that goes for two weeks yada yada etc etc
