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.

Even though you admit that it would be a great thing to discover, you think that everyone should be told about easter eggs because otherwise they would never encounter them? In a world where anyone who wants to look up that sort of thing easily can? You're equating your experience with reading about easter eggs in magazines so that you know they are there with the optimal experience, even though there are people who intentionally don't read those magazines.

The outside information that you feel that it's important to share is already literally everywhere, to the point where it's difficult to avoid. So why is it so important to you that people who have said they don't want to know, be told?

I'm not mad. I'm not flipping out. I'm just trying to wrap my head around the thought process of

:downs: I want to discover easter eggs on my own
:v: well I'll just tell you about this one, because statistically, you won't discover it
:downs: but that's specifically what I didn't want you to do...
:v: I didn't consider it a spoiler because I would have wanted to know about it...

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.

Glad you're digging it!

We're in development on a patch right now that will try to address some of the performance problems, among other issues. Hopefully it'll be finished soon!

We're also working to nail down release outside of the US, including Canada. I'll follow up when we know more on that front.

People are getting wound up about the minor game mechanic thing is one thing, but are we just gonna gloss over the fact that people are saying a pretty low-tier by SMT standards 'super' boss is now "virtually unkillable and exists to stop you from making progress" and the only way to deal with it is an exploit.

It's not like the game is siccing a roadblock Demi-Fiend on you, c'mon now.

I'll probably end up buying your game because I'm a sucker for the genre and I'm not mad I wasn't checking the thread when you were giving away codes. If Flinkhook hadn't just come out I probably will have bought it already.

Yeah its bad. The acceleration curve is all off. Its slow slow slow 90s pc spinnnnnnn.

In fact it feels like a game on pc that supports a controller, but wasnt designed for it.

The people. Sure look like the dishonored team

Sorry, guy.
Yeah Prey's movement has this "Acceleration" to it that makes it hard to do things like stop moving your view over the small thing you need to press or pick up. Tiny stick movements slide you too far. This also means combat and shooting are blowful.

First hour is also mad boring. Demo basically cemented me renting this... one day, who knows when...

Ugghhhhhhh how come sony is so poo poo at USB device management? I've spent the past like 4 hours trying to back up my ps4 so i can replace the hdd, but ive run into nothing but errors. First, even though it could detect it (in devices, for instance), my ps4 said there wasn't a drive connected or something like that when i tried to back up to an external drive. After I then set it up for external storage to verify it worked that way, I tried it again after re-formatting and it went through everything up to the restart where it then immediately threw a 'cannot access the thing' error. I then tried a different drive, which got through ~60-70% of the data until it subsequently threw yet another error saying that it 'cannot back up'. Jesus loving christ is this annoying. Am I missing some black magic ritual that I must perform? Do I need to salughter a goat? Burn sage at the ps4's vents?

The backup failing after it's most of the way through sounds like a faulty drive. Maybe try a new one. I've done backup + restore a bunch and had fine luck. Just need exFAT and plenty of space.

Yeah. The first drive was almost brand new (~4 weeks of light use sitting on my desk), and the second (that seemed to work) I've had for about 2 years now (this one I've carried around a bunch and dropped and stuff lol). I rebuilt the registry/file system/db and deleted some more games I haven't played in a year or more, so hopefully itll work now. I can just re-download everything especially as I have gigabit internet, but I'd rather not wait since i never get my bandwidth maxed anyways. Though, now that I rhink about it, downloading is still faster than this backup/restore... Oh well, it's in the middle of it, i might as well finish.

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

Trackmania is the absolute best. I have not tried nor heard of these mysterious cheats! Oh boy, I played a ton of it while I was babysitting my friend's PS4, and am like #19 in all of British Columbia (no doxx), or something.

There's no way to get that save file to my ps4 account at all, is there? :(
