Until you have a tasteful outfit/facepaint/focus color combination picked out for every possible climate in Horizon Zero Dawn, you are playing the game on casual mode.

I'm only just getting started but I'm an idiot who loves to play Pretty Pretty Princess in every single game with customizable clothing options so don't you worry about this once I get going.

First I'm gonna get hella distracted by all these side quests tho

How many games did sierra put out that didn't have tons of deaths and/or tons of potential reset points where you've missed a crucial item and can't go back to get it?

Because mixed up mother goose is pretty much the only one I can think of, but it is also the only sierra adventure game I've ever played

The Gabriel Knights weren't nearly as bad about them compared to most of their Sierra brethren.

it still makes no sense to me why the best armor set in horizon has that stupid honeycomb pulse effect every few seconds, it's incredibly distracting and makes the armor basically unwearable

I only have four trophies left to platinum Dark Souls 2 but three of them require covenant stuff and I don't know if I can be bothered. Heck I don't know if it's even possible at like level 170 something and probably a billion soul memory without starting again.

You can grind covenant items from enemies IIRC. But that poo poo isn't really worth it for a trophy

Shieldweaver looks cool imho, and anyway it's not even better in the base game than Carja Silks or Shadow Stalwart.

Its definitely faster to do it this way and NG+ is actually pretty cool in DS2 since it changes some things.

Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.
I thought that Crowbcat did a video on Metroid Other M but I guess it was someone else. It was a video with all the times a character said "baby" or "bottle" or "Adam" if anyone knows what I'm talking about.

Oh yeah you can just go to NG++, it's way faster that way since you can skip the first 4 spokes pretty easily with how the big drangleic door works

I bought Bloodborne GOTY for £18 new on eBay

Now I need to save up for a PS4 :( Are there any hardware issues like with the original PS3 and 360, or am I ok to get a pre-owned one from CEX or somewhere?

Early units are mostly fine except they might run loud (but if they're properly refurbished this shouldn't be an issue). Also the non-slims don't have 5 GHz Wi-Fi if that's an issue.

Early PS4s with the touch eject buttons can have issues so I'd avoid those if you can.

Some early models might have an issue where the capacitive disc eject button spontaneously triggers. There are fairly simple fixes for this and the slim or pro models should not ever do it.

They do have better wifi than the launch model but it's still garbage, go wired if you can.

Is Sierra the one that made a game called Hunter Hunted? I used to play that with my brother a lot

It was a game where one person was a human dude who could pick up special weapons and his goal was to escape from a labyrinth by finding keys. The other player was a huge rear end minotaur looking thing and its goal was to murder the human dude before he escaped.

They really cant overheat unless you block airflow Even when the jet engine fan is roaring its nowhere near its emergency shutdown tenperature

Yeah, it should be fine unless you lock it inside a sealed cabinet or your room is unbearably hot. In normal circumstances it does not have heat issues.

Yeah on older models you just might trigger Dreamcast Jet Engine memories with certain games, and some games like Uncharted 4 will do that regardless.
