You know, one thing that always bugs me in movies and games (mostly, like, Uncharted, etc..) is you do all this running around, killing, puzzle solving, for poo poo that apparently NO one has ever figured out, and then it opens up a BIG rear end DOOR to an OPEN-TOPPED valley which could have been easily spotted from a helicopter.

They joke about it in the new one

They're based on Indiana Jones movies which were based on old adventure serials; the tropes for those were laid down before we had satellite photography and helicopters that could fly over mountains.

And even before adventure serials, with the concept of lost cities or hidden realms.

Sorry, guy.
YEah, I hear you guys. I just felt like Lost Legacy had it egregiously bad. OH HEY LOOK AT THIS GIANT FOREBODING DOOR.

I WONDER WHATS ON THE OTHER SIDE. OH poo poo IT"S A GIANT loving VALLEY WITH THE WORLD'S BIGGEST loving STATUES VISIBLE FROM SPACE.

I mean, anyone in the last 40 years could have started their treasure hunting adventure THERE. :p

It's all good, though. I just get a kick out of how often I've seen something like that come up.

One thing I really liked in Uncharted 4 was how the puzzles were mostly broken and didn't work properly.

Everytime they add a new hero it comes with a 15gb patch, which absolutely never auto downloads for me, and a handful of changes to the game. The only reason I keep the game installed is because I've got enough currency to buy a premium outfit. Trying to wait to see if the console version ever gets fem Deadpool... I've got a feeling they are going to wait for the next movie though.

Any sights into the flash sale going till 8/28?

Technomancer looks alright for a :10bux: Mass Effect alternative.
Adam's Venture looks like a similarly low budget uncharted with a focus on puzzles.
Lords of the Fallen and blue estate might be worth the 4 bucks each.

Re4 and Dead Rising 4 10bux each might be fun for anyone who hasn't played either. The JC3 dlc too if you're having fun with the base game.

Any clear winners you guys see and recommend?

Since that is the date marked on the sales page I'm guessing there is a 100% chance it will go until then.

Like Uncharted was never gonna be a long campaign and was never claimed to be such so I don't know what you were expecting.

The enemies in Lost Legacy flank like a motherfucker. Playing on hard and standing in one place for more than 2 seconds is pretty much death. It feels drat near impossible to find a safe spot or stealth an area.

It looks really good but I have too much to okay right now and it's almost guaranteed to be $19 by the time I'm freed up (plus Layers of Fear was good but not pay full price for it good)

Still, I'll get to it eventually . "A future where your fear can be hacked" is to wonderfully stupid a concept to resist forever.

Observer is better than layers of fear by a mile.

I enjoyed the overall story of Soma more, but I liked the moment to moment stuff in observer more. Overall I'd say they are of similar quality.

It's good. There are some frame rate dips but the game is so slow I don't felt it detracted from it much or at all.

Yeah Tuesday I think. It sounds really cool. I really can't get a read on if it's essentially a big arena or if it's an actual game you progress through but it sounds pretty interesting. If it ends up being good it sounds like the type of thing goons go crazy for.

Did they ever change XCOM to make it so the dumb looking upgraded armor doesn't have to replace all the cool customization options? I really hated that. I had all my characters looking like unique badasses and it's all gone after a few hours once you put the stupid Halo armor on.

I'm watching Aliens right now and randomly thinking, if people are re-releasing 90s games on the PS4 the SNES Alien 3 might be one to consider. Unless I'm mistaken it was one of the first if not the first game to have a quest kind of structure to it like modern open world games do. With improved controls, it wouldn't even really need updated visuals (other than making the environments more distinctive) to have a really good atmosphere.

Edit: of course, there's probably licensing stuff to consider, and if they're willing to revisit that then give me a console port of Capcom's Alien vs Predator game holy poo poo.
