What I'm getting at is...
Do you feel the same way?

Save up and get yourself the Quadcopter ASAP, some hidden goodies and things can only be reached by it and it makes some missions much easier.

Also get the Taunt upgrade for the Jumper as well, it's magical :allears:.

What I found annoying was spending half an hour trying to solve an optional puzzle only to realize I was missing an essential upgrade (in this case the higher jump). I need to eventually give the game another shot, but that sort of thing really turned me off, and nothing in particular grabbed me.

e:Watch Dogs 2, if anyone was confused

Knack 2 looks kind of fun, is the first game actually that bad?

Realtalk: The combat and platforming gets legit challenging and requires skill in a way that felt fun. It has this weird dissonance between having a Saturday morning cartoon knockoff level of storytelling and visuals and seriously punishing gameplay.

I would heartily recommend it for $5-$10, though if Sony doesn't put it on Plus in the next few months they will have dropped the ball

Knack is poo poo and not worth playing for free when there are a billion actually good games you could be playing instead

You know there are more things than an animal companion in The Last Guardian. They're barely the same type of game to HZD or Recore.

I believe Helldivers has 4p co-op, but be sure to double-check. Twinstick shooters are always good fun for local sessions.

Speaking of games with complex and intricate combat:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SxiRw_XEYs

Knack 2 will feature a skill tree that allows players to unlock special attacks, including multi-punches, flash kicks, dashes, explosive bodyslams, psycho crushers, grabs, and parries. These attacks can combo into each other. Mark Cerny has said that he was inspired by Fist of the North Star when thinking about combat. The player has control over changing their size, which will be used to solve puzzles and traverse platforming sections. The game will also retail not for full price but $39.99

Yeah, one thing I really appreciated about Nioh was that it removed any kind of bullshit around NG+ and simply made the additional difficulty modes for NG+ and so on a simple button toggle. Want to play the DLC on Normal? Just do it!


I really enjoyed Maria NG++ though, felt like trying to fight a Bayonetta boss with Dark Souls gameplay.

It's one of the pros of Nioh having a mission based system. Another one is bring able to redo my favorite areas and refight my favorite bosses whenever I want.

I usually get into a game if I just let it ride (like, for several minutes) and don't leave the join game screen.

At least that's how it's worked for the past few evenings, I'd also expect that the player base is in the low single digits as of right now because it's Sunday morning.

Set server to US West, change the option to never join games in progress.

Killing Floor 2 loves to either give me infinite loading screens or freeze on the lobby screen.

I read somewhere online to put yourself in a party (even if it's just you) by pressing down the touchpad button before looking for a game. I had to wait a long time for games prior to doing this - now, it finds one pretty quickly.
