HZD The Frozen Wilds question. Did quest that gave me upgrade slots for my spear. Do these spear upgrades now become enemy drops or do you only get them from other quests? Been playing for a while and have not seen any more.

I'm pretty sure they become regular drops. I think I got some spear upgrades in the base game on NG+

If you have played it before and know the battles they will be over in 5 seconds on normal. If you haven't played before all it really is just another spot on their body.

Am I crazy in thinking the grip seems much smaller than normal?

I've played it before but I forgot basically all of the solutions except 4 of them. Which is actually kind of nice it's like playing again for the first time in that regard.

Are SOTC Pro players playing on performance or visual mode? My TV isn't that impressive so I just stuck with performance for 60FPS.

You’ll still benefit from frame rate and resolution, so if that is a selling point go for it. There’s also an awesome GameStop exclusive (IIRC) white PS4 Pro.

Has anybody tried to stream any of the Yakuza games from PS Now? I gave it a shot with Saints Row 2 and the connection was just way too unstable for it to work for me, but it’s also been well over a year since I last gave it a shot. I have the Yakuza games on PS3, but I just don’t feel like doing updates and using a DS3.

I SHOULD KEEP MY DUMB MOUTH SHUT INSTEAD OF SPEWING HORSESHIT ABOUT THE ORBITAL MECHANICS OF THE JAMES WEBB SPACE TELESCOPE.

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT A LAGRANGE POINT IS?
I've got what I feel like is a good guess to what the golden coins in SotC will unlock. The usual guesses of things like the cut colossi seem a bit silly to me. Anyway, my guess:

One of the trophies is for making it to the door out of the Forbidden Land. I know for a fact that this is impossible in the earlier game versions. That door connects to the gigantic bridge that leads into the top floor of the temple. The door at the top of the temple has always stayed shut except during cutscenes, so the bridge has always remained inaccessible and is just there as a large piece of beautiful scenery for the most part.

If you go to the inside back of the temple and climb the curved ramp to the top then you'll see that the door is closed, like it always has been. Thus my guess is that the coins open that door.

Which 'earlier game versions' are you referring to, because I know from experience that you can walk all the way across the bridge on the PS2 version. There's a wind that blows you back when you make it to the end, but it's something you can do.

Nah. Unless your PS4 is one of the old models without an Eject button, that's a good enough reason to upgrade :v:

SotC is a really good game and I'm enjoying it a lot, but the way people treat it ITT is a bit ridiculous. For example, plenty of games did horses better than this one. I think the horse is fine but it's really not great by any means. Maybe it was great when it was originally made, but it's not anymore. If "the horse in SotC kinda sucks" is the worst opinion you've read in 2018 you're living a very sheltered life.

I think my initial extremely nit picky problems with the SOTC remaster are pretty much down the toilet at this point. Playing a modern version of it just outweighs any little minutia they hosed up by such a wide margin it just doesn't feel like it really matters. They did a really drat good job with it.

A few pages back but which theme exactly is this? I have the 2B/9S flight unit themes and the 2B static forest theme (great music) but don't see any other dynamic themes. If you mean the forest one then yeah it's rad as hell.

They added a single player Jason mode in recent updates. It's good for practicing maps and strategies as Jason, which is good because recent updates have made playing Jason a hell of a lot harder against player counselors. It's got different difficulty modes too, which range from MLG Pro to functionally braindead.

https://twitter.com/Dr_Drecula/status/942913076591984640

EDIT: There's also technically a second single player mode: the cabin, which is more or less a P.T. clone about exploring Crystal Lake and ends with the reveal that Uber Jason and the spaceship from Jason X are upcoming DLC.
