I can't spot people to save my life. I usually try to spot someone 2-3 times before giving up and just shooting them. It's far easier for me to get hitmarkers on people that it is to spot them.

Firewatch is on sale for 11 dollars on PSN. Thinking of getting it. Is firewatch worth it for that price?

Speaking of, I wonder when Bungie is going to actually start talking about Destiny 2. Remember the original leaked documents outlining the 10 year life span of the Destiny franchise with a sequel every two years? That clearly is no longer valid because we would have had Destiny 2 by now, so I wonder what has changed and why Bungie decided to scrap their original plans.

Destiny 2 is coming next year. There are allegedly three studios working entirely on content for it: Bungie themselves, Vicarious Visions (who are the Skylanders group, who are now "further expanding" Destiny's universe because Toys-To-Life is dead), and a third group that hasn't been named yet. All they've really said regarding actual content to my knowledge is they want to go from yearly expansions to "a steady stream of content" throughout the year, which is probably why Activision now has three different studios making Destiny content like some kind of Call of Dutian space chimera. I thought they would have announced it at PSX but instead we got their weird Christmas event announcement instead so I guess look forward to some kind of E3 announcement into a Winter 2017 release date.

It's so weird to me that Naughty Dog haven't really said when Survival hits. They just keep saying "this week". Today is their live stream, hopefully they will say so afterwards? I'm assuming it's NOT today. :\

Imagine Taken King but with a tenth of the content at two thirds the price.

I haven't played The Division but you may as well get that.

On the other hand, Division is like the same content stretched out over what looks like the exact same map for the entire run of the game (plus a cool PvP thing). I just beat Division's campaign last night and that had to have been only slightly better than Destiny Year 1's ending.

I haven't done Division's Incursions yet but imo Destiny's Wrath of the Machine was almost worth the price of entry alone, that was a fun as gently caress raid. If you gotta play something new then go get Division I guess, but I wasn't really thrilled by it.

The Division is for people who like repetitive, loot based games. It's a lot of fun with multiple people and there's quite a few goons who play it regularly.

For all the rah rah of how awesome Sony is over Xbox, the handling of adding money to your account to purchase games with is atrocious. It claims the credit card information is not valid on both my debit card AND my Paypal account that is directly hooked to my bank account. Which is apparently a very common problem because of the weird card verification service they use. So, I've been having to buy digital codes off Amazon and enter them into the Redeem Prepaid Card section. Well, I just bought enough to cover my big purchase. But, when I went to put in the last prepaid code, then the redeeming service crashes and eats my $10 prepaid card. I'm $10 short on my order in my PSN wallet. So, now I've gotta contact Sony to get this stupid loving $10 into my account and I don't even have my PS4 in the mail yet.

On Xbox, I'd just hit "Pay" and then "Confirm" and be done with it.

Things Microsoft is doing better than Sony:
Online parties, especially with the ability to invite to games through the party interface
Backwards Compatibility
Ability to stream more than just Spotify while playing
Allowing you to own games simultaneously on Windows and the Xbone (debatable since it's not through Steam unfortunately)

Things Sony is doing better than Microsoft:
Everything else


Anywho, I heard that GG Revelator is not the last version of that game that is going to be released. How far off is the next version? Revelator for 20 is very tempting. I wouldn't want a quickly obsolete version of the game. I don't play fighting gamz, so this isn't urgent.

Last week I tried adding my card for like 40 minutes straight until I finally realized that it's Sony and not me/my bank.

Unfucking-believable that they allow this in 2016.

You are not crazy.


I quoted this post:

UnfortunateSexFart posted:

Resogun is getting a pro patch - dev comfirmed it on twitter.

BF1 is getting a free map with some pro tweaks tomorrow too, I can't imagine that game looking any better. Its surprising depth has been pulling me away from Titanfall slowly. I'm feeling a little burned out on the latter after regenerating... it's the first time I've ever "prestiged" in anything.
Leading to the following exchange:

Snak posted:

I think it's partially my tv, but I can't see people at all unless they are standing in direct sunlight. They melt right into shadows.

Feenix posted:

It's kind of the color pallette of the game. Players do not stand out.

What are the alleged PRO tweaks?

Snak posted:

Yeah, and I'm okay with it when they are blending in with terrain at a distance, but when they are like 10 feet away and I'm just taking bullets from a pool of inky blackness on my screen, it's really annoying.

Like, one time, I saw motion in a doorway, but then I saw a blue icon in the shadow. Oh, it's a teammate, I thought. Then a stream of bullets came out of the shadow and killed me. Killcam revealed that an enemy and team-mate where sitting like, 4 feet from each-other and didn't see each-other.

Feenix posted:

At first I wondered if it was just me, but yeah if you just kind of watch people play, opponents run by each other ALL the time. Which is why I know it's not just me.
And then I said:

Snak posted:

Yeah, it can be really frustraiting when they do it in broad daylight.

Last night, I was mortaring a point to soften it up for our assault. It was going pretty well. I got shot. Not a big deal. I look up, and see the guy who shot me is standing about 15 feet in front of me. 3 feet from two of my team-mates, who are presumably scoped in and can't see him. Eventually, they all see each-other.

I also have to remember that the average player probably does not up their FOV. The default FOV is really bad and you easily don't see guys who standing 45 degrees to your right. I upped it by like 20 vertical, which made it like 90 degrees horizontal. So the average player can only see like, like like, a 60 degree wedge in front of them. Which explains a lot.

At no point was Titanfall 2 mentioned, except when UnfortunatSexFart said that BF1 was pulling him away from it.
