Take up shelter in the base of my spine

Some of them have special abilities and some actually have better stats than Venom Boss does. It's relatively minor though.

Venom can learn all of their combat abilities by upgrading the prosthetic arm, so it kind of balances out.

I never played it on PC nor have I played Overwatch but man is Paladins lots of fun. Bought the founders pack last night and a new character came out today too, if anyone else is hooked like me add EffEmmEll. Currently working to acct lvl 15 for that PVE mode.

Use Skye if you want to level up fast. I'm easily snagging 20+ kills per round.

Alright, threw in my order on Amazon for a Pro 1TB. Picked up Bloodborne and Until Dawn while I was at it. Thought I should finally touch those exclusives that piqued my interest before.

Thanks for the help.

Don't neglect PSN's great indie titles, they have some really great digital exclusives like Journey and Abzu. Transistor and Bastion are spectacular as well.

Journey is awesome. ABZU is awesome if you didn't play Journey. (especially close together.)

The thing that bothered me most about ABZU was how much of a bankrupt copycat it felt like of Journey. It bugged the poo poo out of me.

Also I'm pretty sure Bastion was an Xbox exclusive for a month before it launched on other platforms.

I had thought Abzu was a PS4 exclusive as well.

Transistor I erroneously also thought was an exclusive. I guess you don't get many exclusive indie games.

I played both in quick succession of each other at New Years and I loved Abzu and didn't really feel as impacted with Journey. Maybe it was the freedom of underwater movement but it just felt like a more flowing game. Certainly think both are worth playing though.

There are a bunch of indie games that are PS4 + PC, where Sony threw money at devs to keep them off the Xbox as part of the "We 💓 indies" push

Ah ok, I was wondering what a physical release had to do with exclusivity. In any case, those are all solid indies. Transistor is one of three games I've bothered to plat. Flinthook is so fun I might do the same with it.

Most of the time its just that xbox requires exclusive content unless they are the first platform so little devs cant afford to publish there. Sony has really only backed the PLAY promotion games afaik

Is PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds coming to the PS4? I read somewhere that the developer wanted to bring it to consoles but I don't know if it's been confirmed. This looks like a lot of fun and I wish my old PC could run it.

Lots of good stuff besides HUD options in that HZD update: sorting and mark to sell in inventory/vendor screens, "sell all" with one button in the sell multiple dialog. My fave: map filters cause that is one busy map. Resolves a ton of minor complaints (though this stuff should have been obvious from the start tbh).

How is that even possible? Shouldn't the USB protocol alone make it slower than whatever native hardward protocol it uses to communicated with the internal drive?

God, I know nothing about computers...

its the same for xbox too. part of it is just that its a consumer product like a toaster so they arent buying the kind of drives you would as an external they are trying to save a buck. theres probably more to it.

Not really. USB3 is about on par with SATA3 for speed (5GBps vs 6) and actually has better bandwidth (640MBps vs 600).

Also the stock internal drive is likely an average consumer model compared to the top of the line external TB drive you connected.
