Yeah well its true, if it was the gaming masterpiece everyone keeps implying folk would be glued to their screens playing it rather than whining on a forum about spoilers.

Its why people who get triggered from spoilers annoy me so much. Go play the loving game if you are so invested!

You are acting like a loving twat about this, and you know it. Why are so many goons so terrible about posting poo poo untagged and then get so defensive when they do it? It doesn't matter why it affects someone else, just accept that it does and be considerate. It costs all of two seconds to put a spoiler tag on something.


@Snak they are right though that in this case it's just an optional and game mechanicsy thing that won't matter much. It sounds more important than it actually is, and didn't need a spoiler tag much. Although I get why it'd be annoying to read things like that randomly.

yeah, I mean, it's fine. It's not a real spoiler.

I'm just tired of the elitist attitude that people have where the are like "it's not a real spoiler, because of x and y, and also if you care about poo poo being spoiled, you're a baby".

It's not like I'm even asking people to edit their posts. Just stop being dicks about it and take it to the Persona thread in the future. But that's too offensive of a suggestion and makes me a delicate snowflake.

Beaten while typing this by Sakurazuka and Digirat.

With all due respect, a gaming discussion forum is not the place you want to go if you're stressed. In fact reading some goon's really stupid opinions about video games is often what gives me the burning intensity to go work out every morning.

The only thing I'm making a big deal about is that people insist on being dicks about it. Does finding out about the reaper mechanic ruin the game for me? No. But in response to it, i say "I would rather find out about those things on my own" to which someone responds with more information about it?

Like why do you always gotta be such edgelords in defining and quantifying why the stuff you're saying isn't technically any kind of spoilers, when several people, including me, have asked for that to be kept out of this thread? Oh, I get it, this is something awful, so if we can't handle being trolled, that's on us.

Whatever.

If you don't want to learn anything about games or any of the mechanics/events within them, you should probably stay off the internet. Or at least off the "GAMES" subforum.

Macarius Wrench is just salty because they cant ever recommend someone a game, because if they make a post recommending it then it cant be a good game because if it was they would be too busy playing it to post on a forum. Because obviously if you enjoy a thing you have to be doing it 24/7, you cant just do it for a while then do something else for a bit and go back to it later. The fact ther are threads in a game forum where people discuss games they inexplicably claim to enjoy is forever a frustrating mystery to Macarius Wrench, and sadly one they may never solve.

Anyway, someone asked a day or so ago about driving games on the ps4. Did people come up with any that have splitscreen? I would really like a splitscreen racer to play with my bestie. On 360 we played a lot of NFS Most Wanted/Carbon, and Forza 3.

I'm aware of Trackmania Turbo, but that's really the only one. I found a few motorcycle racing games, but I think we're more interested in cars.

I played a much older Trachmania on pc a long time ago, and it didn't have collision between racers. Which has pros and cons. Is that still how it is in Turbo? We'll play pretty much any style between arcade and simulation.

Trackmania Turbo has cheat codes that enable collisions as well as a load of game modes including Not Mario Kart. One has both of you driving the same car, averaging what you're doing, and having that be the action. It's pretty fun!

e: I think TT is the only game in recent history to have cheats

BF4 premium edition is on sale for 12.99€ and I played close to a thousand hours on PC, a few hundred on Xbox360 and why am I even considering getting it on PS4 when TF2 is so good?

I mean, I already have long games to beat like Yakuza 0, TW3 or Dragon Age Inquisition and only two MP games like TF2 and Destiny. Being a Steamaholic is a hell of an addiction if you get good deals on PSN too.

That's really tempting. Does it have semi-regular courses, or are they all crazy loops and poo poo? There's nothing totally wrong with crazy loops and poo poo, but that's what Trackmania's known for, so I am not sure if there is much "normal" racing in it...

Yep! There are some more down to earth tracks but its mostly loops and stuff. Though there's a track editor so it can be whatever you want.

e: To clarify the collision enabled thing is a particular game mode the cheat unlocks

Ya definitely but outright saying how to cheese a superboss/solve a puzzle boss is lame, especially in this case where it seems like something that would happen naturally. I was prob. going to give that fight a shot this weekend and that's exactly where I'm at in the game.

Toilet Rascal
I tried that Deathstate game that was given away last night, and it's neat. It's a sort of roguelike shooter- most of the time there's a huge horde of trash charging you, seeded with a few elite enemies that shoot patterns of bullets. You don't have control over aiming and firing- the character automatically shoots at the nearest enemy within range, so you're mostly positioning, dodging, and using spells/items; this makes me think this was originally designed as a phone game (not that there's anything wrong with that). The items and monsters all have fun little cosmic horror fluff descriptions and the stat upgrades are described as organs you ripped out of enemies and ate, so there's that.

The only real sore point so far is performance- it gets stuttery when there are too many bullet-shooting enemies nearby, which is unfortunate. I also wish there was a nav point or something to give you a hint as to where the exit is when time runs out and you have to rush back there, especially if you've already seen it and chose to keep exploring.

Props for the giant neon rotating skull on the splash screen, too.

I thought the reaction to the P5 thing wasn't so much that it revealed that there was a reaper enemy in the game (which seems to be how most people are taking it) but more that the post seemed to casually reveal a hidden way of beating it, which does seem like a spoiler. I don't know because I haven't gotten to that point but that's how I took it.

It felt more akin to saying "you can beat The End by setting your system clock forward a week" the month MGS3 came out which I feel would be a spoiler.

I guess it just comes down to gameplay spoilers vs story spoilers. For jRPGs, I don't give a care about gameplay spoilers but am serious about story spoilers.

I disagree completely here simply because of how rare an occurence the whole scenario is, think about how small the percentage of players who will experience this naturally is. It's the sort of thing I read about in a magazine or some poo poo and went back and tried it myself just to see how it worked out, without outside information I never would have experienced that moment on its own.

I'll admit discovering it on your own would be hilarious but then you would be missing out one of the greatest boss fights in all videogames.
