The maker of Dwarf Fortress, before he made that, had this other game called Liberal Crime Squad. It had the coolest core mechanic where every single NPC in the game could be captured and converted to your side. You could either install them within your organization doing various tasks, or send them back out to their previous jobs as sleeper agents that you could activate when the time was right. I would love to play an organized crime / spy game that let you do that poo poo

It's the middle of the night and in a drunken stupor you decide you want to buy a game right then and there.

edit: in retrospect some of my favorite games have been bought that way, including Miku Future Tone. I have Nioh, Nier Automata and Super Robot Wars V in progress but that's what I'm playing right now.

Also, an important announcement about SRWV:

For ps3 games that I have a disc version for can I buy the digit version and use the same saves seamlessly? I figure at least make sure they're cloud saved first but everything should work fine.

I just hate swapping discs!

Yeah, I actually just confirmed that a little bit ago. I bought MGS5 on disc around launch, played it until the story starts disintegrating, and sold it. Recently it was on sale digitally so I picked it up and could continue just where I left off, and also the async multiplayer stuff had netted me tons of new money in the mean time.

I always thought saves didn't transfer on the PS3 era games but did on PS4.

Depends on the game. From memory Yakuza 4 and Red Dead Redemption have different IDs between disc/DL and won't work that way.

Game saves only work between PS3/4 if they're specifically designed to like the FFX/X-2 remaster and even then you have to upload a special version of the save, the normal cloud save doesn't count.

In fact that might be the only game that does PS3/4, Vita/PS4 is a bit more common.

I feel like Gravity Rush 2's online services have some kind of vendetta against me.

I've done at least 15 treasure hunts from other people's photos, but a grand total of 0 other players have done the same with mine. I've rated about 20 photos from other people, and uploaded at least as many of my own, and it's the same thing - 0 Dusty Tokens from other people finding my pictures and giving them a thumbs up. And they're really nice pictures! :(

At least one of the 10 challenges I sent out managed to net me a win...

Speaking of, the upcoming remake of Wonder Boy 3: The Dragon's Trap has the best cross-save/transfarring where passwords work between the PS4/Bone/Switch versions AND can go back and forth with the original Master System game.

It's not terribly helpful to you but I think the online stuff takes a good while to show results. I beat the game a while ago and fired it up again recently to check something. While I was playing, none of my treasure hunt photos had gotten any use, but after the game had sat for a few weeks I now had a few thousand tokens.

Sounds like maybe they just stick all the interactions in a big queue, so anything you do has to wait in line behind a million other photos and race challenges that were uploaded to the servers a week before.

Getting all the dusty token prizes is a fools errand. When i was playing the game i checked the global leaderboard and number one had around 5300. The best prize is at 6000 tokens and this was about a month after release.

I just unlocked the lunar thing in Gravity Rush 2 and it has moved the game even further towards the "gently caress this, trade in" pile.

The controls are just not up to what they expect from the player.

I'm hugely disappointed with the game and I'm actually getting a loving headache from playing it.

Numerous forced stealth/can't use your powers missions, a poo poo camera, horrible controls and an empty open world. This game has it all.

EDIT: I'm done. The tutorial area for the fighting with the lunar thing seems designed to just display how frustrating the entire game is. It locks on to enemies when you attack but also locks on to mineral deposits so you can literally be mid combo on a monster and the camera will wildly snap around and Kat will start attacking green orbs instead, even if they are further away than the enemies.

If they ever make Bully 2, it's the prime candidate for "game that really needs the Nemesis system" in my eyes.

Good timing, considering the discussion.

So what are people betting on the next SKU? I'm thinking it'll be more than just a Pro Slim for December 2018... they'll maybe do that but then also have some new fatty called the PS4 Ultra or something that'll specifically have a second GPU to improve VR performance, a better modem to improve streaming and Remote Play stuff (maybe an over the web streaming capability with some heavier duty hardware requirements on the client end), but not much more than that since their whole insistence on even the launch being able to run everything will really limit them, though.

Sorry, guy.
So I finally gave up on the Credit Card Information is not correct issue for my PAYPAL. (Thanks, Sony!) and got Amazon cards. I just successfully bought Horizon. Is there no preload? It downloaded a dynamic theme and that's it. I went to my Library and to the Store and when I click on it I get a 13 hour timer but no download prompt. My Notifications show nothing.

What gives?

I have nearly a terabyte free, too...

I passed on the PS4 Pro, because they ditched the UHD drive. Unfortunately, some Pro owners might feel miffed if theirs were to suddenly lack one when a future iteration doesn't.

It'd also be a very easy way for Sony to add something to it.

Twitch and streaming are a total mess on the PS4 as it is, and it'd be great if they could ensure that everyone can stream and watch without a miserable experience. It's weird how Sony had the fantastic idea to embrace recording and streaming only to sort of bork it along the way.

Pretty sure there is a preload, it was in my download list on Waiting and now it's gone, so I assume it downloaded last night.
