The Bloodborne DLC is better than the entirety of Dark Souls 2

Well, this was fun and totally not a waste of cash.

Step One: Decide to buy an old game, Phantasmagoria 2. Figure it's not on Steam, go directly to GoG.
Step Two: Learn I can't use my Discover card, because apparently we're ten years in the past, or something.
Step Three: Use Discover card to buy :10bux: of GoG Wallet on PayPal.
Step Four: Learn that I can't use the :10bux: I just added to the wallet because I need to spend another :10bux: and wait three months to use your Wallet.
Step Five: Realize the game, which is admittedly lovely, is actually on Steam, a service I can actually use my Discover card to buy things with no hassles.

Fun fact: the Nintendo eshop doesn't accept Discover either.

Oh no oh god it's all true!
also both the gog and steam versions of phantasmagoria 2 are the dos version and not the windows one, which means you can't run the deinterlacing patch

I liked Sub-Terrania for the genesis. It had neat music too. The music was done by Jesper Kyd iirc. I think that's his name.

Finished DQ5 tonight. Final boss was kind of boring and disappointing compared to the insane DQ4 one, I wasn't sure there wasn't some final final boss about to pop out until the credits started rolling.
Think I might take on Mother 3 next.


This can't be real, right? This has to be a parody.

It's not a tech limit reason. It's 1) discover/amex have a more strict network of admission for processors and 2)likely the real reason is that they charge considerably more per transaction, like sometimes 2-4% more depending on your merchant level.

Discover charges more to process, so lots of places don't bother.

Nintendo ditched DVD playback to save $1 a unit or something, so it's not really surprising.

the dvd licensing fee would have cost them 100's of millions since they would have had to pay it for every unit made. console makers have gotten smarter recently, for instance:
xbox one currently get around paying by having consumers who want to watch dvds download a dvd app or something like that that then ms pays for but the functionality isn't there on the console out of the box so they don't gotta pay for each one they make, just the ones that people use for dvds.

If I haven't played a Tomb Raider game since the very very first one on my kickin' rad Monster 3D, which one should I play?

I want an emphasis on exploring and less on quicktime events or shooting. Puzzles are cool if those are a thing in Tomb Raider games.
