A goth girl in my middle school had a copy of Quake 1 for PC in her cd case just because NIN did the soundtrack.

I did the same thing. My computer could barely run it but hey free NIN CD. It was the shareware version toobut it had the whole soundtrack.

Mostly just listened to the first track on repeat though because the rest was pretty much ambient noise.

It was cute that quake had 9inNails from quad guns, SO METAL.
But it wasn't a selling point to anybody. It was the 1996-ish version of Dinklage doing Destiny's voice... Actually no, it's more like Destiny hiring McCartney to do a theme song, something mostly NOBODY will ever notice or care about, but as an accolade proclaimed by an untested oligarch, it sounds great.

Sony just sent me an email saying that because I used 50 euros in the psn store in March, they'll give me a 10 euro cashback-refund. Am I being april fools' pranked by Sony or do you think this is genuine?

Finally had some free time to play through a few games, and Oxenfree and Valley are really good. Unfinished Swan and Armello are good, if a bit bland.

Well The Last Guardian used isn't worth poo poo really. Not gonna sit on a Craigslist post for it. As the above poster said it has its downfalls. I only played about four hours and then just YouTubed the ending. I appreciate what they were doing but it's just not my type of game in conjuction with the issues.

Anyways, thought about doing something charitable:

I was thinking maybe we should get a goon chain going? Go down a list, each person gets it for two weeks, no longer, and has to pay to ship it to the next person CONUS. Must have an account >6 months old and actively post

Open to suggestions

Yeah I can already tell I'm never gonna finish it. Even when the controls work it's not very rewarding.

Phew, I thought I might get dog piled for disliking the game sans camera issues. Some people lost their minds about it when it first dropped. Probably mostly the hype/long production train. Tbh I think the game sucks. I do appreciate the art and theme etc tho

If anything, me agreeing with you usually means you will get dogpiled.

Honestly it really does perform pretty badly. It's not the greatest on a regular ps4, and even on a pro, it's less than stellar.

Then there's the fact that the game mechanics are all outdated by like 5 years. It would have been a perfectly reasonable ps3 game but as a ps4 game, it's kind of weak.

I still like it a lot, but I can understand why it's not everyone's cup of tea.

i agree with you, the game has a lot of issues and isn't very good. It's neat and different, and cool that it exists. But it's still not a good game imo.

TLG is pretty cool, but it's definitely a game you only play through once. I enjoyed the puzzles but there are too few of them, and most of the gameplay consists of riding Trico (who you don't control directly).

My experience with TLG, trying to get animal thing to do something for 10 minutes, think that maybe that's not what I'm supposed to do... Walk around for 20 minutes trying to figure out what to do. Turns out animal thing was just being lovely and what I was trying to do originally was what I was supposed to be doing.

Yea FUN game.

So I thought I posted this already, but I hadn't. I like Far Cry Primal (which I'm just trying now,) more than Horizon Zero Dawn, what it lacks in story, it more than makes up for in Gameplay.

Thanks guy this is some vital info and I'm gonna go write it down in my notebook right this second! Told my wife about your personal interest in Far Cry Primal and she thought it was worth sharing around, too!

It's ok to dogpile on people for not liking TLG. It's like making fun of someone's racist uncle on Facebook. It has to be done because their opinion is so bad.

It takes its concept and executes on it very well through its presentation, solid gameplay, and good writing. It's particularly known for having very well written characters.

I've started 4 like 3 separate times and felt like there was zero entertainment value in it. Play 15 hours is a pretty hard sell.

I'm not saying it's bad and I want to enjoy it but I can't get past how unappealing it is to me.

I'm pretty sure whoever said "play 15 hours" was joking. That said, it's okay to not like a good game. It's just silly to act like it's some mystery why people like it, I guess?

There are good games out there that I've deliberately avoided or just not bothered with beyond the intro because they didn't appeal to me, too. For example, I'll never play Titanfall 2 because I can guarantee that I won't enjoy it.
