TF2 single player probably gets talked up a little more than it warrants but it's because it's really drat fun. Like, in the end it's a 5 hour long linear shooter campaign but it's memorable because it's paced so well and uses all of the mechanics really well and it's polished as all hell.

I've been playing multi this evening and I'm having a blast with it. It really deserves more attention compared to the lovely CoD games they're throwing lately (last one I liked was Black Ops 1).

It's funny how many game protagonists have beards slapped on now. Like, pretty much all of them. I heard Lara Croft will have a nice full beard in the next tomb raider compliments of tressFX™

Maybe it's just because I live in the PNW but doesn't every man in general wear a beard now?

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."

Past the prologue it's going to transition into a slow-paced narrative of self-discovery, where Kratos' son learns the power of friendship, and that he's gay.

All this talk of violence reminds me of when I was a teen spending an entire weekend searching on the internet for :filez: of Thrill Kill for Psone.

Never did find it, but I did manage to play the Wu Tang game that used its engine.

you can find it really easily now.

it's not very good. or honestly, even that gory - mortal kombat was way more gruesome. it seemed more a victim of the atmosphere at the time of its release than anything else.

Saints Row should be the standard by which all other game intros should be measured

If I am not freefalling through an airplane while firing uzis or some poo poo like that within 10 minutes of starting the game, it basically sucks

In Thrill Kill's case I think it was more the air of weird fetish stuff that got it canned rather than the gore.

That's a low bar but I agree. I thought it was pretty thin though, like each boss is introduced 15 seconds before you kill them. I liked BF1's better, though it trailed off in the last few missions.

Most are hinted at for at least three or four levels before them... in fact the only one that had almost no lead up and came out of left field was Richter, and even him you overhear on comms for two levels prior before you face him. :confused:

Anyone have the disc eject error? I'm playing digital games with no disc and it constantly tries to eject and does 3 quick beeps. Internet isn't clear on what it is - overheat, loose eject screw, static build up, etc. Probably not overheating because it's cold here right now and if I leave it in sleep mode overnight it'll start doing it.

Is it playable now? I heard the PS4 performance is abysmal. Having played Wasteland 2 on PS4 I believe it too.

I hope it's been or will be patched because Torment looks cool and I want to play it down the road.

I remember this one fighter called Time Killers that was far and away the goriest game I've ever seen but it was stupid and janky. Like a guy shooting out Kool-Aid-Man-volume amounts of blood might be fun in a schlocky B-movie way but I think the game also needs to be fun to back that up.

Yeah, from a time when everyone was trying to out-gore each other. Video games grew up ever so slightly in the mid 2000s when that tapered off.

Edit: but then series like MK and GoW kept on trucking like they were still trying to out-gore someone.

Its the faulty capacitive button. You either need to open it up and disconnect it or trade it in for a new one and let gamestop or whoever refurb it, assuming your not under warranty anymore since they havent sold that model in like 2 years

There are quick temporary fixes but in my experience they dont prevent it coming back

It's a common problem. The solution is to trade it in for a PS4 Pro and then explain to your wife that the old one was broken and this is actually the same thing they just changed the appearance but it came with a 200 fee what can you do, I know you need your Netflix.

Sometimes removing the rubber foot touching the button underneath helps as well.

My ps4 wouldn't output video. Only sound. I was excited because my launch unit failed and I had an excuse to buy a pro.

But it was my tv and a hard reset fixed it. :smith:
