Roughly how long would Hellblade take to complete, if I want to poke around a bit and explore? I noticed it's on sale.

There's hardly anything to explore, it's a fairly linear game. Around 6 hours or so, you might even Platinum it by accident.

Oh, cool. Got the house to myself for a few nights, so this seems like the perfect time to play it in the dark, at night, alone, with headphones. :v:

IIRC there is only one Hellblade trophy that isn't linked to the story and it's not terribly hard to get.

Yeah, the core model didn't come with a HDD and the memcard sizes were uh, small. Hence XBLA's small file size limit for the longest time.

Even then I think there was a game (FIFA?) in the first six months that required a HDD.

Football manager, because the game save was so drat huge

Thank God they eventually let you install games to the hard drive, it lowered load times and was easier on the hardware

that is interesting, i never knew that it had those sorts of symptoms. does that just happen as a result of diabetes or is that something you can avoid with medication?

epilepsy is weird because theres no uniform set of symptoms or reactions, like i said earlier my recovery period is extremely lengthy almost regardless of what kind i have, which is just bad loving luck i guess. i also cant listen to music while i sleep or i get really violent seizures, which is weird but brains??? mine are almost certainly from a traumatic brain injury i had as a teen. i had never even heard of anyone else having the problem with some sounds but i guess that was an issue for ian curtis, too. edit: although i may have had seizures as a kid too, since the majority of mine are absence seizures which other people don't notice and can be actually impossible for you to know you're having.

I can avoid it by not being a dumbass, but sometimes I overestimate the amount of energy in a meal or overexert myself without getting a snack and it happens. Occasional hypoglycemia is kind of a fact of life of diabetes management; sometimes you get it perfect but sometimes you go too high or too low. The effects of hypoglycemia differ; sometimes I get timeskips, other times I get really weak or have a headache, or get visual static (looks like poor analog broadcast TV reception). The exact effects depend on which part of my brain starts turning off because it's not getting energy.

This thread has fairly positive opinions of Wolfenstein, yeah? Found The New Order / The Old Blood combo for five bucks at Target. This is a total steal right? I sure would pay a lot more to blast moon nazis with bullets or whatever these games are about so I'm gonna play it regardless.

I hope this is enthusiastic and not smug snickering as the series suddenly dives in the toilet and unknowning fans of the sixth game to be released will inevitably be disappointed by the terrible changes made.

Oh absolutely. They're not flawless but they're still solid fun. Get em and report back on how hit alerts are now, because that was an issue for me with Wolfenstein 2 and I wonder if that's better now after I'm assuming a few patches have been made.

Welp, one trip to gamestop later and I'm out of an xbone and into a PS4. Setup time was around 10 minutes and I was playing Uncharted within 15. Much happier with this so far. Question though: aren't a lot of PS3 era PS Network games like Journey and such "cross buy?" Like if you own them already on PS Network, shouldn't you be able to download them on the PS4?

I told you so...
I've never owned a PS3 or a Vita so I'm not really up to date on the details, but I do remember some titles being cross buy, but unfortunately I think I remember Journey not being one of them. There seems to be a list on blog.playstation.com, but I can't look 'cause I'm at work and it's blocked.

Edit: How does that look?

Cross buy is inconsistent, you have to check each game. Remastered are not typically included in crossbuy though.

Go all the way to the right on the main menu of the PS4, to Library, then go to the Purchased section. Anything you have available will be there without having to search the store, including cross-buy titles, and you can download from there.

I'm like 95% sure they are.

They were even commenting that they're even restoring the content that wasn't in the original releases.

And the translations virtually done because it's a remaster of games that already released here.

The fact that they took Yakuza out of the title doesn't mean they changed the game itself did they? I mean, that game is like 60/40 Yakuza/Fist of the North Star.

Also why would they do that?

Only emojis can express my pure, simple stupidity.

Someone talk me out of For Honor 🤔 I played it for like a week or two straight when I first started, and it was fun enough. That said, server issues and other games made me lose interest fast. How much better has it gotten?

The main deterrent is how much they’re still asking for it digitally, what a joke. Guessing I can get a used copy pretty drat cheap.

Season pass just still early access to new characters and poo poo? I’d be fine with just the base game yeah? They keeping to their promise?
