They're afraid that people will watch the stream, feel like they've experienced the story, and not buy it. It's not really about spoilers, they're not doing this so their customers aren't spoiled on major plot details.

In reality we know that people watching a streamed game are generally more likely to buy the game.

It is pathetic that you have to spell that out for people

Cmon yall nobody cares about your weird nerdy vendettas against nerds and how they choose to spend their free time vs your free time, this is just a misguided corporate tactic that has nothing to do with spoilers

It's not a good precedent you corporate cock gobblers

On one hand Hotline Miami with cleaner graphics and superpowers sounds like it could be a good time, on the other hand lol at how shameless that trailer music is.

"this has nothing to do with spoilers"

"they're afraid that people will be less likely in experiencing the story themselves if it's been spoiled to them in a stream"



e. Also the actual data from real studies done by publishers has shown that when people can experience a game for free they're less likely to buy it themselves, which is why demos all but died out long before streaming was really a thing.

I don't care how much people rag on the translation of Persona 5 anymore, they nailed the only two lines that matter: "I don't make a habit of putting men's numbers in my phone" and "We hate the cops"

The way Atlus is going about the streaming spoiler thing is dumb as hell. If they had simply asked people not to stream or upload videos of certain things because of spoilers I don't think many people would've had much of an issue. I mean it would've happened still, but I think a lot of the bigger streamers and youtubers who are playing it would've obliged. That happens literally all the time. Instead they went right to "if you do this we will DMCA claim your video and your channel WILL get a copyright strike" and it ends up being instead of "hey can you not do this?" it's "DO NOT do this". And you can't just tell the internet to not do something.

I mean it backfired on them on twitter pretty badly because people instantly started posting huge spoilers of the game on there, in reply to Atlus, so everyone could see. The way they went about this nonsense is awful.

Small thing in Persona 5 that is good as hell: the characters calling out their personas when you open the skills menu. I dunno, I like that immediate response to player input in a turn-based game, even if it's purely visual. It makes everything feel really smooth.

Specter of Torment review: Pretty fun as always for Shovel Knight, the new mechanics are enjoyable, but it feels like there's an excess of gotcha one-hit kills and other annoying design compared to the base game, perhaps as a way to compensate for or help showcase Specter knight's abilities. G5F4

To be honest part of me cant get over how uncomfortable it is to play such an involved and lengthy jrpg on a console

Then again i played p3p and p4g rather than the console releases, and my ps2 dq8 playthrough was abandoned 6 hours in vs the 3ds version, where I am currently at 30 hours

I shan't abandon p5 though it's too good

Avian Pneumonia posted:

Hey what's the going price for a regular PS4 these days?

I gave mine to a friend a while back and he is saying at this point he'd just like to buy it from me because he plays it all the time and I forgot I even gave it to him.

It's the original style and has one normal controller.
As far as games it has bloodborne and until dawn and maybe a few smaller titles.

Craigslist and amazon are giving me wildly different numbers so I have no idea what to charge him.

is $150 a reasonable friend-price?

It's a decent friend price. I sold my launch PS4 for $180 on Craigslist back in November. If it's a slim or they're giving you any extras like games or extra controllers, 150 is especially nice.

As someone with cats, here's a tip; buy a big earthenware mug of some sort that's too heavy for the cat to push around and use that as a place to set your actual drinking glass.
