I bought it once but ruined the disc when i soft-modded my PS2. Then I bought it again for PS3 but I don't think I invested much time into it. It's cool that they're releasing it again for people who missed it, but I can't see paying more than a few bucks for it to sit in my library.

Maybe if they made the PS4 touchpad control the brush, that'd be a cool addition.

I played it on the Wii and the aiming controls were a perfect match for the paint mechanics, they could do the same thing with the DS4's motion sensors.

I'm not going to rebuy it because it's way, way too long and once is enough.


vvvvvv Yeah, and they bound some special move to jerking the nunchuck in specific directions which worked 50% of the time at best.

The problem with the Wii version is that it's a bitch to use any weapon except the prayer beads with motion controls.

So as I just learned that the PS4 is actually region free, what's the best place to buy games online if you live in the central EU? I can't remember the sites I used to import games from years ago.

PS3 question: I feel like picking up a racing game, what's good? Something where I can race around, upgrade and buy new cars, etc. Last one I played was Gran Turismo 3, is 6 worth picking up?

There was a post a couple pages ago about a fried ps4 that tries to turn on, the power supply is like $50 and it's how I repaired the last one that was brought to me with that issue. Really easy replacement, basically just slots in.

Does the story hook sound interesting?
If no don't do it.

Do you like a spear(or whatever) and to upgrade it you need 5 widgets? Did google tell you xyz sidequest gives you 5 widgets?
Ok do that one.

Do you want to platinum?
If yes, reevaluate your life decisions.

Divinity 2 and Original Sin were both really, really good games.

Original Sin also takes ages to beat so I haven't replayed it, especially since they apparently nerfed/fixed things like getting over 100% resist so you can stand in pools of lava and heal.

NO MERCY, ONLY PAIN :black101:
ive come to the conclusion that the touch pad on the ds4 is REALLY FWIGGEN DUMB

playing farcry 4 i honestly thought my controller was broken cuz my items and weapons kept swapping around which is really really annoying during a firefight and ends up with me getting killed but apparently it's the tips of my thumbs brushing the touch pad while im frantically bashing the sticks around

also going to the map screen to have the cursor immediately fly off in a random direction cuz i happened to have left my thumb lingering on the touch pad wtf

im sure there's a way to turn this off in the options although this only just occurred to me.just now but im really glad literally no other game ive played ever uses the touch pad because it's insanely dumb and pointless!!!! 😤😤😤😤

if your hands are big enough you can just hit all of the buttons with one thumb and one finger, maybe your hands arent large enough to properly use the controller

I don't like it when the touch pad is made to act as two separate buttons because it's imprecise and fucks up sometimes

outside of that it's fine I guess but it being so big is why the option/share buttons are annoyingly small and that's a bummer

I have to admit that every once in a while my thumbs still crash into each other while playing on dualshocks. You would think that playing videogames since 1987 would instill some ability to properly hold a controller, but I am a left handed mutant.

On the moon... they don't make Neo Kobe Pizza.

I like it when the touch pad has all kinds of fun shortcut uses.

In Elite Dangerous they mapped the four corners of the touch pad to be shortcuts to the various in-game ship menus, or like in The Witcher 3 where you can swipe in various directions to bring up the map, the inventory screen, and so on.

I managed to crush in the right-hand grip of one of my DS4s while playing a game with a relatively tight grip and now the right trigger doesn't work. These controllers are meant for babies. We need proper controllers.

We need the Duke.

Awesome!

What's the best wireless headset for PS4?

For what it's worth I went with the platinum.

The the mic sounds really clear and good but one time it fritzed out for a few seconds and sounded like the youtubes I saw. I think it may be a wireless issue. The rumbly bass isn't there like it is in some higher end headphones but overall I'm very happy with them.
