I can't believe how loving expensive Gravity Rush remastered is already. Really wish I had grabbed a disc copy of that before it went out of print. Someone was selling it in the games selling thread for like $10 too argh.

I got it on sale digital for less than $15. It'll probably come up again. The game itself is on the smaller side for a big game too, I think around 3-4GB?

It's weird how coy TV manufacturers are in telling what the actual gently caress are their exact HDR specs. It should be HDR10 with minimum peak luminance of at least 500 nits for OLED and 1000 nits for LCD.

Thanks, I forgot what peak you needed. So yes you want 500 for oleds, and 1000 for lcd/led. Then it should also be 10bit hdr. There are actually some 8 bit out there don't waste money on this.

Some tvs don't even have all hdmi 2.0 ports, some might even have hdmi 2 with some hdmi 1. Basically to get the real hdr that people love so much you want 10 bit, hdmi 2.0 and the peak nits.

I'm thinking about picking up this TV.

It's got decent reviews according to RTings from what I can tell. Supports HDR10. Anybody have any experience with this one?

Seems to be equivalent to this model which doesn't sound that great HDR wise... supports HDR10 does not mean that it actually displays it well.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll keep looking around for something that meets the need and fits the budget.

It's probably pretty enough to be worth a play through at that price. Use a collectables guide and it's a real easy platinum trophy too!

Funny story, I was stoked for the sale so I didn't notice that Ico and Shadow of the Colossus were PS3 only. Had to ask for a refund, which was done in like 5 minutes through a chat box. Funds were added back into my wallet. Now I have some money for a rainy day.

The story and characters are extremely sweet. The gameplay not as much and the opening of the game is like 6 hours and then they start the construction turorial so its an epic slow burn

Are you level 70 yet? If not don't worry about gear.
Once you reach 70 gear sets will start to drop, most were retooled in the last year or so to be super powerful. Most will confer crazy damage boosts like a bonus 1,500%!

Also legendary weapons all get significantly better once they are lvl70 too.
So just aim to grab the 4 or 6 pieces of a gear set as your first goal, after that you should notice things improving.

The blood shard vendor is almost always a crap shoot and is just a way to dump blood shards, don't sweat it.

I probably have a bunch of gear and weapons I can send you, what class do you play?

Also it's really important to go grab Kunais cube, Google up where it is.

I am level 70, paragon level 25 I got one green item (thats a 'set' right) but I got that in act 5. username is neilinnyc

I'm playing as a wizard. tried a couple others but freeze, clone, blizzard and a death ray that doesnt appear to use any arcane power because it recharges so quickly is obscenely powerful.

I really enjoyed it for about 20 hours, and then I started to realise how grindy and slow progression was becoming and just kind of stopped playing it. well worth the $7.50 i paid for 15 or so solid hours.

how does psychonauts control? I keep hearing great things about it but held off because it is a 'platformer' which I find most of a bit poo poo and it's such an old one too. The story and moments in it sound great though.

IIRC some folks said the PS4 version of Sleeping Dogs performs worse on PS4 than it does on PS3, is that true? I only played it a bit on PS3 and it's loving awesome but I don't have it anymore and would love to get it on PS4 if the performance isn't awful.

I don't think that's true. The game in general is still glitchy as gently caress on both platforms, but the PS4 version is better overall.

cause the ps3 was designed to be a pain in the rear end for sony, game developers, and gamers alike.

no its good. just beat it. only issue i saw was the time i entered the cab but the game didn't want to make it happen so the cab took off with wen but left his body and camera behind, yanking him at a million miles an hour down the highway about 10 secs later while i was trying to figure out why i was stuck on the sidewalk in a sitting position
