I've seen fun you people wouldn't believe.
Tiki torches on fire off the summit of Kilauea.
I watched disco balls glitter in the dark near the Brandenburg Gate.
All those moments will be lost in time, like crowds in rain.

Time to sleep.

Newer versions of the game give you the option of playing the scenes in chronological order, which does work much better.

Ellen's nudity is not just in the art files. She's rendered completely nude in-game in the shower scene but on a normal PS3 the camera is locked so that you can only see her from the shoulders up. But if you play the game on a development PS3 you can move the camera wherever you want, so it was only a matter of time before someone discovered it. Hopefully they removed it from the PS4 version.

I'm still surprised Ellen never sued over that. She didn't consent to being rendered nude and now there are pretty realistic screenshots of her nude all over the internet. I'm pretty sure that the reason she's never done another game is because she was super creeped out over it and doesn't trust game developers anymore. And she's not averse to suing game developers; she sued over The Last of Us because she felt like they used her likeness to create the character Ellie. Pretty sure she lost that one.

Pretty sure she didn't sue over Ellie looking like her in TLoU. I think she just said she was annoyed they stole her likeness in an AMA and then shortly after Naughty Dog changed Ellie to look more like her actor.

I was really weird they originally modeled Ellie after Ellen Page without her involvement. It led to me thinking she was her VA until I beat the game and read the credits. Just a really strange thing to do and now everyone associates the game with someone who isn't related to it at all.

Yeah she didn't sue over Ellie in TLOU, just complained publicly. Her lawyer kinda sorta threatened to sue Sony over the nudity thing in Beyond Two Souls, but I guess Sony must have placated her somehow. http://www.businessinsider.com/ellen-page-explored-legal-action-against-sony-over-nude-video-game-images-2015-4

Kojima's pretty consistent about the glory of being a mercenary, the good-intentioned evil of scientists, and nanomachines (or some biological equivalent).

Not to detract here but uh, I'm considering upgrading my PS4 to a Pro. Is it worth it for some of the games I have (namely Monster Hunter and Yakuza 6 when I get to preorder that) or are the extra frames not really worth it.

For reference, I was gonna try and use the same HDD I got in my system now.

pretty sure those games don't benefit from the Pro that much, unless you have a 4k tv.

It's a luxury upgrade that makes some games run slightly better. I think it's worth it if you have money to burn, or if your old PS4 is getting rough, but the improvements are marginal for most games.

His canon is all over the place, that's a symptom of being forced to make MGS games way past the point where he ever intended for the plot to go. But the themes of each MGS are really clear and compelling, and despite MGSV's plot failures, it did an amazing job of showing how the series themes fit together by drawing them into a coherent whole. Seriously: V has 1's antinuke message, 2's information control and illuminati paranoia, 3's cold war geopolitics and questioning of what loyalty means, and 4's PMC dystopia seamlessly integrated into a broader theme of war and politics. You can't pull something like that off without being very thoughtful. I have my gripes about his execution at times, but I seriously love the ideas behind his work.

Although the easiness of Bloodborne usually gets a bit overstated, most people should be able to complete it in 8 - 10 hours with little difficulty. It would have been more fun if they had added a little more challenge to it.

Is objectively true. Heavy Rain had some cool ideas but dude needs a goddamn editor in the worst way. His weird fetishes show up in every one of his games. I am not excited about Detroit Become Human. I do not believe Cage can really tell a story about civil rights.

I guess it's something that prioritizes downloading the intro instead of the whole game so you can play right away? It's weird, just download the whole thing I think it's only a few gigs anyways.
