But seeing half as many recommendations on the front page and no clear division between page sections is the way of the future! Still waiting for something awful to get with the times and change the desktop site to just look like a mobile site with terrible resolution scaling.

Is Cities Skyline worth $20? It's digital only for $40 but Gamestop has a disc version on sale for $20. I can't get it from Gamefly because the disc is only available at Gamestop.

No I can't play it on a PC so unless the game sucks without being heavily modded or is truly terrible with a controller don't suggest that (I played the Tropico games on a console just fine).

From what I've read is a rare (thank god) issue with some early V2s (the first ones packed with slims and pros). I don't know if yours is a V2 or OG controller but the only "fix" is to buy on amazon or aliexpress a new set of sticks and replace them manually wich sucks. Just trade it and get a new one.

I sent mine in for repair and they sent a new one back. The early run of that model is just flawed

It is absolutely worth it if you liked SimCity before the series turned into garbage. You can legalize weed and watch your town of stoners burn their houses down.

Question regarding games that let you invert the x-axis, do the following?

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided

Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice

I’m pretty sure both the New Deus Ex’ lack invert x options but I’ve never bought one of the games to find out. I had Veniveniveni check in hellblade for me when it came out and it didn’t have it either, which is weird because almost all Ninja Theory games before that had invert x.

I’d have bought and played hellblade by now otherwise.



Night in the Woods has my kind of writing and I’m definitely going to have to go back and play it again to see what I can destroy with Gregg but bothering Bea has been very rewarding.

It happened to me like two weeks ago and I couldn't play BF1 because I couldn't sprint with the left stick without suddenly stopping then running and stopping again. I went to GAME to trade it for 32€, used my points and paid 5€ extra for another V2, White this time.

This, people, is why you don't buy used controllers.

Hail to the King, baby.

I have a question about how the cloud saves work with multiple PS4 systems. I want to get a PS4 Pro for my downstairs TV and move my current regular PS4 upstairs to the other TV. If I do this, will I be able to use my account and PSN games on both systems? If yes, how do cloud saves work with this setup? Will I be able to run dailies on, for example, Destiny 2, Everybody's Golf, and Nioh, and will the progress save and transfer across the two systems? Thanks!

Aye, I feel pretty bad about it, but I don't really want to spend £45 on a new controller. I am going to buy some WD40/ di-electric grease tonight and spray it under the joystick. People seem to be having success with this. Failing that, trading that sucker in and apologising to the universe.

Amazon has a deal on the Destiny 2 PS4 Pro white bundle for $350. My first gen console has the disc eject bug and we have a 4K TV so I just bit the bullet and ordered it, saved me a nightmare trip to GameStop tomorrow.

E: will I be able to sell / trade in the Destiny 2 that comes with it? I have almost 0 interest in playing that game.

Hey I'm not here to judge. It's their fault for not checking poo poo. And they offer a warranty anyways.

Controllers and consoles are just something I'd never buy used because of it.

Maybe a Nintendo system because they last forever but that's about it.

Well, it was the dude at Game saying that I should just trade it instead of send it to fix it because they're sending them anyways. They give a 1 year warranty on used controllers and well, if they give you a year is because they know the controller isn't going to fail in a week or two.

Now If any goon can give me some imput about either the Razer Raiju or Nacon Revolution Pro (first one or V2) it would be nice as I plan on trading my other black V2 (it's working flawlessly) and it's either another colored V2 or one of these Turbonerd Elite Gamepads.

Damnit, I love the concept, look, and atmosphere of Alien Isolation but the lack of autosave after a cutscene is kind of a hard pill to swallow. Watching 30 minutes of patient stealth gameplay erode because or a mistaken turn and then having to redo huge segments is very punishing, especially since it lacks any of the nice artificial elements of other stealth games that make more of a game of it. Hell, most of the cover isn't even waist high so you can't really hide much of the time to observe.

I feel sad that a game that works hard to be immersive and dynamic makes me wish for the more artificial nature of vision cones and awareness meters.

I've kind of gotten where any single advancement or progress I make is followed by a backtrack to a save point just to bank what I can before a surprise death. It's sapping out the fun but feels better than retracing my steps several times.

I think I'd be fine if it just made an autosave when you achieved some story goal.

Edit: I think I'll shelve this for a while. I'm not ashamed to admit I like/need more helper tools for my stealth gaming. That or I should get good and return when I do.
Edit2: Looking at the trophy percentages, 22% of the players who started this submission quit the game at this point too. Bunch of wussies like me.

I was in the middle of downloading the Wolfenstein 2 trial to see if I'd like it, then I saw it for $25 on Amazon and just bought it. I'm hoping the awesome moments I hear about in the game more than make up for the gunplay which sounds like it's not as good as the previous game.

I finished Wolf2 last night. It's not as good as The New Order (what is!) and the ending feels SUPER abrupt but it's definitely worth playing.

When they announced Before the Storm and I found out it was a prequel, made by a developer I'd never even heard of, with a totally different voice cast because of the SAG-AFTRA strike, I figured it was going to be terrible. But after two full episodes... it's not. It's actually very sweet, well-written and acted. Deck Nine totally "gets" Life is Strange in the humor, the tone and the intensity of emotion, and while I can't say it's as good as the original (because nothing ever made in the history of humans is as a good as Life is Strange) it's a worthy prequel that I don't have to pretend never happened.

So far the plot is going nowhere and there's only one Ep left, but it's by no means insulting to the original game or anything. It's solid if you want more "choose a feel".

If I have to pick between a heavily reduced, but still real money title, should I get Persona 5, Dragon's Dogma or Shadow of War in the big sale?

Very different games I know. I'm leaning towards P5 but I am concerned all the minutiae might get me down whereas I know Shadow is just going to be Arkham with kills and funny orcs, while DD is a bit of an unknown to me, but it sounds awesome.

Persona 5 is probably the best of the lot. I loving love Dragon's Dogma but it's a very 6/10 sort of game (very good if you love what it does right, average if its many flaws bug you a lot).

DD is basically 50% of a 10/10 game and 50% a 4/10 game rounding out at a cool 7/10. But is still wouldn't skip it cause it's so weird and fun at times.
