What attitude problem?

I gotta say one thing that is really frustrating to me, is getting dicked over on dlc sales for buying games when they come out. Like, I'll buy a game for full price and then down the line the original version will go on sale, and the "definitive" version or whatever also goes on sale but the dlc by itself never ever does. It's like getting a middle finger for supporting them. "Oh you are a good customer, so everyone but you gets a discount"

While this is true it ignores the extra time you have the game. Pay up front and have it before everyone else or wait and get it cheaper. Sucks on your wallet, but that's how any new product works.

I also rarely play JRPGs and loved Persona 5. Beat it in about 90 hours, tried to play some other games and then came back to new game plus. I also found myself liking the social stuff a lot more on the second go round.

I don't see what you mean? I don't have a problem with paying more to play a game earlier. My problem is that down the line, once sales start happening, you'll often get cut out of getting a deal on the DLC when you already own a game.

Just as an example, I bought little nightmares when it came out, and now the complete edition is on sale, but the DLC alone is not, so because I went and bought their game on launch day Im going to have to pay $15 for the DLC, while people who buy it right now at a discount can get all the DLC included for 4 dollars. It's essentially a big gently caress you to people who supported their game. And that's just one example. it happens all of the time. See what I mean? The fact that a lot of publishers aren't considerate of those giving them all of those critical week one sales is weak as gently caress.

Whoops, I misread that. I was thinking about the people who complain about the definitive version being cheaper when it comes out later. I have a friend who was pissed about Dark Souls III releasing the DLC version after some time at a cheaper price and went on autopilot.

The Season Pass was on sale three weeks ago. Season Passes do go on sale sometimes. Like, the Ubisoft sale right now has an entire filter for add-ons on sale.

There is no season pass for it in the US. I do realize season passes go on sale but it's not unusual for them not to while every other version of the game is on sale.

Project Cars is fiddly even for people who like sim racing. I'd recommend Wipeout, Driveclub (it did become decent after patches), and Dirt 4 in the non-sim handling mode for more arcade-like racers.

Project cars 2 comes out in two weeks if you can wait and see if they fixed the originals problems.

My PS4 is having an issue that when I google yields a lot of different answers, so I'll be specific:

Twice in the last week playing Destiny 2 (digital copy) the screen will go black and the PS4 will make a horrible buzzing sound almost like it's eating up a disc for like three seconds, then the screen will black out. It sounds like the PS4 shuts off but the light stays on, and I have to unplug it and plug it back in to get it to start up again.

Here are my guesses

1. I haven't dusted it in too long, so maybe it's a heat issue.
2. It's connected to a kinda faulty power chord.
3. It's also really old

Also worth noting that inbetween these crashes I've probably had ~5 hours of playing that weren't a problem at all

So if this has ever happened to you or you're aware of a solution to the problem in any capacity I'd appreciate any insight. I'd also like to know if it's 1 or 2 if it's too late to fix the issue with dusting or finding a better power source. Thx.

My only ding on Everybody's Golf is the postgame custom club crafting seems like a completely insane and borderline cruel grind unless you pay to win. I guess I'll get them a little at a time doing daily stuff if the game holds my interest. Hope they have more courses and stuff planned.

Oh also the online lobbies on some of the courses run at like 10 FPS on my non-pro PS4, not sure what's up with that

Shenmue 1&2 also leaked from Alza, but no fancy box art or anything of that nature.

I cant get excited for this at all :nallears:.

Because I have both on Dreamcast :smuggo:. The original Shenmue is VERY much a hit-and-miss thing, but Shenmue 2 actually holds up pretty well. The plot isn't glacially-paced, you get a relatively large world to explore, and it will actually skip to meeting times instantly instead of making you wait for the clock.

I'm hitting the same framerates and it's definitely one of the reasons I dislike the whole "open course" thing.
Having just about all holes in a course squashed into one map has definitely stunted the overall level design a lot. Previous games in the series had each hole be its own level, without needing to connect to each other geographically. As a result all the courses have a very simple and samey layout, without a lot of interesting course geography and hazards, plus performance is taking a big hit. I don't enjoy this as much as the PS3 or PSP game for that reason, might just be picky of me though.

I hope that makes sense I'm bad at explaining this stuff lol.

It just got homogenised into a generic open world zombie thing and lost anything that was unique about the first two games since they don't focus group well.

Dead Rising 4 really isn't a dead rising game. Weapons can last forever, healing is immediate and auto saves are three of the big changes. They gave the property to a completely different studio who made a game they wanted to play rather than a dead rising game. The story is all over the place too. It's a very weird entry.

so its like the bad ending version of tossing the Prey name onto the game Arkane were making. of course even that's not a great analogy because there aren't a TON of expectations on the Prey name, slapping Dead Rising 4 onto some open world zombie game is a huge waste.

the only good side of finding out all of this bad news is i am definitely going to buy the Dead Rising remaster when i get paid, provided someone doesn't tell me the port is massively hosed up

I know there was a Prey game that came out in 2006 or something but I never played it and in my mind it's still an abandoned game idea from 1995 involving portals.

Prey 2006 did in fact have portals, maybe the first game to use them? Anyway it was good in a mid 2000's fps kind of way.

Prey had portals but they weren't dynamic or user-controlled, they opened at specific points like doors. There was a lot of physics weirdness in that game, you could change gravity in certain areas or walk up walls on sticky panels.

Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.
I've played and beat both Preys and this they were both great and innovative games for different reasons. Newer Prey is probably less innovative but still a great romp.
