Any of you guys know what to do where you chuck the monkey at the button to bring down the freight elevator?

There's another button once you get inside but I can't get her to throw the monkey at it for the life of me.

Hey is it possible to unplug the light bar in a DualShock 4 without damaging the controller and if so, will it doing that save battery life?

You can set the lightbar to dimmer than default, i think that helps a little

I'm in love with this game. I can already see it being one of those games I rave about to people, like Unraveled.

Interesting you cite Unraveled because I was so hot on that and then kinda just lost interest midway...

Is Little Nightmares better?

You send people off to do stuff like disable enemy supplies of helmets/sniper rifles/shotguns/night vision goggles, etc.

It was a cool idea, but it was implemented so bafflingly horribly that it's easy to not want to pay attention to it. As in, you hit the button in the menu to have your guys go on the mission, then it takes 20-40 real time minutes before the change takes place, then the game goes right back to what it was shortly after that but never updates you on when the status change, so you kinda have to luck into the un-telegraphed window of time where the game is under the effects of those mission results.

Yay.

Everyone has a

I just beat the Raven DLC of Gravity Rush 2 and was pleasantly surprised!

The smaller scale meant it actually had a focused story, with a setup, a couple of nice emotional beats, boss fights that beat most of the ones in the main campaign (with some pretty cool new bad guys) , AND a satisfying ending that made sense. The last scene was a legit touching moment!

To top it all off, it actually takes place just after the first game, and doesn't require you to watch a bad anime before playing it. I'd only heard bad things about the DLC before playing it, but I actually enjoyed it more than the main game, pacing- and plot-wise.

If you own the game but didn't bother with the DLC, give it a try!

What's even worse is that there were other operations you could send your guys on off-screen, and those were the only times you got to "use" BATTLE GEAR.

Apparently Kojima had plans to let you pilot Battle Gear, but it was too powerful so he relegated it to a menu option. You can look at it I guess.

I doubt they finished it, there are far too many too powerful options already in the game for another more powerful tank to matter

Screaming is the only useful thing that we can do.

I got Mad Max for cheap because A) I loved Shadows of Mordor and B) I love Mad Max but the very start of it is pretty boring (made a base in an old oil tankard), I didn't like the small amount of driving I have done nor the combat... has anyone played it? Does it get good soon?

"Ah," Ratz had said, at last, "the artiste."
Heh, I wish it had the nemesis system.

But it has its charms when you're harpooning people, doing sick rocket jumps off and driving around looking at pretty vistas. There's not much variety though, the unlock grind is ridiculous and the story is just 'do random jobs for random assholes, forever' so you'll definitely burn out long before the end.

But when I got it for $8 in a flash sale it was good times. If I'd paid full price I would have been pissed.

Ah poo poo, that's lame - I thought there surely would be a nemesis system; it was great in SoM. Every game should have a Nemesis system.

Make fun all you like, but those tedious tasks were a loving brilliant design choice in support of a very specific narrative angle, and other developers would do well to incorporate more psychological poo poo like that into their games.

Is the remastered Skyrim worth playing at this point? Never ever played it to begin with.

Uncharted 4

I maybe foolishly bought the PS4 version of Skyrim a while ago and played it for just an hour or two, it seemed okay. Mod support is...well, there were a few mods at the time. Not the only one I had installed the entire time on the PC that makes unread books glow though.

If you liked the 'loot random dungeons, craft weapons and ignore the main story' parts of Fallout 4 but with swords and elves instead of shotguns and ghouls you'll probably enjoy Skyrim for that

It's hard to imagine playing it after Witcher 3 though
