Oh good it wasn't just me, I had to pay with paypal since the checkout refused to verify my cc's security code

Only emojis can express my pure, simple stupidity.

So it doesn't seem like my ps4 pushes game updates in rest mode. It's supposed to right? I have the option checked. I have to manually go to the game and click check for update. It'll do it all in rest mode once I start it or if I start a whole game install remotely

I think it doesn't update automatically if you haven't played the game recently.

So I checked just now to see if it would work this time but apparently one of my attempts earlier actually went through. Which... is actually worse. More unsettling, at least.

The system only checks like early in the morning. If an update comes out after that it won't get it until the next morning. If you boot up your ps4 to play another game it does check for updates on your most recent 15 or so games.

I'm guessing you're thinking about the fd titanfall update.

So many different factors. Would like confirmation of the folder bit. This one was on my main screen, and played fairly recently

Jackbox Party Pack. 1 has You Don't Know Jack and 3 has Trivia Murder Party and Guesspionage which are all neat trivia games. TMP kinda wears thin pretty quickly with it's murderer host gimmick though. A lot of the rest of games, like Quiplash and TeeKO are real fun, too.

Yeah they revived it in like 2011. Then the company started releasing the Jackboxes, which are collections of 5 games each I think, and some of them are even better than YDKJ is.

Yeah it's a personal favorite.

Sleeper hit is TeeKO, which took a little bit to get into mechanically but came together extremely well by the end of the game. That's not even mentioning the style, which is the strongest of any of the games.

Man I'm glad someone else thought GOW3 sucked cause I never played it on ps3 (played 1, 2 and the 2 psp ones) and i thought maybe it just aged badly but by the third loving time i was in a giant cube puzzle dungeon, i was kinda done.

Yeah I stuck through the cut scenes and it just felt awful. I suppose coming from a fast button mashing game like Nier didn't help

Just felt unpolished idk. I should probably stay away from most remasters now that some real quality stuff is dropping

Started Hearts of Stone as my palate-cleanser after N:A route B and I'm very torn between two comparisons to HZD. Even only after the opening questlines that set up what the story of the expansion is going to be, the writing and voice work are reminding me that as much as I generally enjoyed HZD's, TW3 genuinely was a cut above (and this isn't even the expansion people really like!). But the mechanics and UI, patched several times since I beat the base game, still feel simultaneously shallow and insanely complicated, like you're asked to juggle five different versions of HZD's sore-thumb D-pad item interface without it really mattering that much.

Witcher's writing is top notch. But that combat is terrible and I just can't with it. I know Guerilla Games worked with some of the devs for Witcher for HZD and it shows. Hopefully for the next Witcher game they will have learned something about building a fun combat system.

Yeah the combat in Witcher 3 is boring and bad, if you play it on the PC you can mod all fights to be Gwent matches which is the optimal way to get through them

I did find myself enjoying the sections where you controlled Ciri, her movement felt a lot more agile and fluid. Maybe they'll have an excuse to revamp the combat system if she ends up being the main protag of TW4.
