The demo is a lot more combat heavy than most of the game, for what it’s worth. Still really good though.

Man, Marlowe must pay her mooks really well for them to just stay at a burning mansion to try to take out Drake instead of bolting the gently caress off.

I got automata after Christmas for $35 cad off amazon but it got stolen in the mail or delivered at the wrong address (the mailman is on vacation). Thankfully amazon is sending me a replacement this week. Can’t wait!

At some point you figure the mooks switch from being paid enforcers to personally wanting to kill the guy who just offed 20 of their friends.

No. The temp guy just loses everything or delivers it at the wrong address. Had the same mailman for 30 years...when he goes on vacation, everything falls apart. Gotta move when he retires.

By the way found "CineMotion" buried in a sub menu. I guess they rebranded it to "MotionFlow" in 2010. Hopefully it fixes the problem.

I lived in a house. it was 10125 Baker Ct. One street over was 10125 Baker Pl.

Mother fuckers couldn't have shifted the numbers? The result was any time a sub mailman existed I had to walk over a block. They did too, luckily they were nice people so I wasn't worried about them stealing poo poo. I would get amazon "delivered" notifications. Walk outside and see I had to walk a block.

Yeah. Mine is a North and South case. I never get their mail but they usually get mine and walk it over. I don't think they would ever steal anything so maybe I'll end up with two copies of Automata.

Man, for every enjoyable moment in Andromeda - the dorky as gently caress flirting Ryder struggles with is amazing, being able to make a pinpoint accurate laser cannon - I get annoyed by a wasted system, or another set of barren fetch quests.

My mockery of the game when it first came out has just been replaced by disappointment. Glad I got the game at such a discount, multiplayer is great, but there was so much more potential with this.

If mine was 10127 and theirs was 10125 it would have alleviated the problem. Annoyingly the next house was 10129 so they had numbers to spare. Just a very badly designed neighborhood.

But it was the exact number and name just CT PL different.

I miss when I lived in Maine and my street number was 7.

7 Carrol lane. Nobody messed that up.

Did both streets only have addresses on one side of the street? Otherwise I don't quite get it. Both streets should have the same address numbers.

In my city the addresses and their orientations are standardized. The numbers go up as they spread outward from the lake if they're N-S or our "main" street if they're E-W and they are even or odd depending on whether they're on the N/S/E/W side of the street.

Automata was down to I think $35 or $40 on PSN.

I plan to buy it mid-year. This year feels like a catch-up year after all the great games from last year.

This was posted elsewhere too. Look pretty alright! If they dropped the Metal Gear name I don't think it'd be as reviled.

Looks like it's taking the best part of MGSV and doing other things with it. Kind of digging how you can just build things quickly in the field and use them to your advantage in situations. Looks like they're having fun with all that portal poo poo.

It looks like a really well done mod for MGSV. Same map, other enemies and instead of building your base out in the ocean, you build it right there.
Does look like fun though, MGSV was great and more of the same thing is good. They should add a dog to the game though :colbert:

The single player and coop stuff are interchangeable, which is a big thing for me. Wandering around that map with your friends sound like it's my kind of jam. But like I said elsewhere, I wonder how bad the microtransactions will be. Every Tier of weapon Konami added after Kojima left ended up being overpriced, terrible grinds.

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

The whole reason Konami is crawling back to video games is because early last year the Japanese government legalized casino gambling and was forced to bring pachinko into line with new gambling laws. They would be happily churning out even more pachinko machines if not for that, but I appreciate this whole Super Bomberman R/not being completely terrible people Apology Tour that Konami is on.

I'd really appreciate it if they white listed P.T.

SOPHISTICATED DOG SHIT
I beat Horizon: Zero Dawn over the weekend. It's bittersweet knowing I won't have that new experience to look forward to when I get home from work. Such a beautiful game and I'm really glad it was my first PS4 experience because I'm hooked on the platform. I will definitely be coming back in the future to play NG+. With the entire story in retrospect, I really appreciated The Frozen Wilds DLC, and I'm glad I experienced that content before beating the game. However, all things considered, I think my favorite part of the entire game was the first hour. Something about how the storytelling introduces Alloy just hit me and really got me immediately invested in her character. It was a little breathtaking how quickly I was telling myself, "Hey, I really give a poo poo about this little kid." At that point I was hooked.

With that said, I think I'm moving on to Nier next, despite Bloodborne and Persona 5 also being on my list... Tough call.

Bloodborne and P5 complement each other very well, sometimes you'll need to take a break from Persona's wall of texts and sometimes you'll need to play something that doesn't make you dread every step you take.
