I don't know if they did, but they are still critical of things. Just listen to the latest episode's take on Fallout 76 for proof.

Yeah I listened to that, I understand that they still can be critical of some things. I just couldn't listen to only them, I need a good balance of ultimate optimism and supreme skepticism/pessimism. Giant Bomb are my favorite podcasters at the moment, they just come across as 100% authentic, and that I can trust when it comes to opinions on games.

Oh, the Titanfall campaign is real short, huh? It was a blast, but drat I wanted so much more of the cool time travel stuff because it's the most fun thing I've seen in any FPS ever. But it's just one level.

Well worth four quid though. Anyone in the UK that doesn't have it, buy it now as the discount ends at midnight

I'm sure I know the answer already but does d3 support any cross-play? My little brother wants to jam with me on PC or Switch but I'm feelin the ps4 ver, ugh

If there is it would be between the Switch and PS4 because the console versions have a sweet dodge roll that the PC doesn't have

D3 did not have the pull to make Sony reverse their policy and allow that, only Fortnite could and certain VR games because Sony knew they would be DOA if the player base was fragmented any more

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

Sony doesn't give a poo poo about PC and has always been okay with doing crossplay with them and only them. Stuff like Final Fantasy 14 and Street Fighter 5 crossplay just fine (and are console exclusive to them).

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


Console D3 is not crossplay compatible with PC because in addition to some mechanical changes like the aforementioned dodge roll and spell targeting, damage calculations are also completely different between the two versions.

Finished Spider-Man, it was pretty decent. Wish there was a way of getting crimes to spawn more often because that 100% all areas trophy is starting to be a pain.

I know it doesn't help with the spawn rate but as I started getting 100% in some districts, I would put a custom map marker in the middle of a district I hadn't cleared of crimes and swing around making sure I never got a certain distance away from the marker to help ensure I stayed in the district I still needed crimes in. For some reason the game doesn't have the typical notification pop-up telling you what area you're currently in or just entered. It'd be nice to have even though I'd usually toggle it off.

Is there a store bug going on today or something?

I just received an e-mail that funds had been added to my wallet and I had purchased DQ 11 and Secret of Mana. There are $107 in charges on my credit card to match.

I changed my PS4 password immediately, but I can't call them because they say phone support is closed even though it says on their site they are open til 8 PM Pacific??

My wife also pointed out that she's still logged in on her web client to PSN so I mean I dunno if changing the password even locked anyone hacking me or whatever out. That seems like a really weird hack though, to just buy two games on my account? Does PSN even have gifting like steam?

Anyway what are my odds of getting a refund here, assuming that I'm obviously not going to download the games or anything? Should I wait til Sony is able to be contacted or do a charge back?

Accounts can get 'hacked'.

1.Make sure your ps4 is still set to primary.
2. 2step on
3. Change password.

Okay I figured it out!

Apparently I didn't realize that the dual shock can both be connected to a PS4 and a PC at a the same time?

So I plugged it into my computer to use for poo poo, must have accidentally hit the PS4 button, and all my inputs were going downstairs to my PS4 also?

So I guess I didn't get hacked but hopefully they will still refund me since I didn't mean to buy this stuff

it says online you can get a refund if you never downloaded it but when I went downstairs I had apparently already made secret of mana download :negative:

Weird. Were you using the PSremote? Or like using it on a steam game.

For remote play I've had problems with the USB wiggling and it hooking to the ps4 and I have to reset the program to get it back. But never had duel connectivity problems.

Ninja:not that I'd notice since I'm looking at a mirror of my ps4 screen, but it's down a 30 foot hallway and while it connects the lag is terrible.

Did it download the games? Dont download them so you can tell support it was accidental.

I think firing up the game is the big no-no if you want a refund. I'd delete them ASAP just to make sure there's no danger of accidentally doing that.
