Last I checked this game was kind of losing steam

Fall Guys was okay but as usual the devs decided the way to be was to cater to the worst part of the player base and now it's pretty bad

Having never played the game, I'm curious how are the devs catering to the worst part of the player base?

PlayStation Store to discontinue movie and TV purchases and rentals

quote:

At SIE, we strive to provide the best entertainment experience for PlayStation fans, and that means evolving our offerings as customer needs change. We’ve seen tremendous growth from PlayStation fans using subscription-based and ad-based entertainment streaming services on our consoles. With this shift in customer behavior, we have decided to no longer offer movie and TV purchases and rentals through PlayStation Store as of August 31, 2021.

When this change takes effect, users can still access movie and TV content they have purchased through PlayStation Store for on-demand playback on their PS4, PS5 and mobile devices. We thank our fans for their continued support, and we look forward to further enhancing the entertainment experience on PlayStation.

people who get absurdly mad about it need to chill out, but the program itself is a pile of poo poo and it annoys me that it runs so terribly. actually gog galaxy has been running badly lately too.

I mean, if you're a successful actress and you go out of the house in a skirt and without underwear, knowing that paparazzi are just waiting for opportunities like this and that it has happened many times before, then there's really nobody you can blame for it but yourself.
Epic has given me about four thousand dollars worth of free games since I registered an account to collect free games with, so from a consumer perspective, it has justified its existence to me at this point.

I get it. Removing the battle.net launcher and all its lurking bloated files was one of the happiest days of my PC’s life, but ignoring a bunch of free video games because you don’t wanna sign up for a free thing is silly if you want to play any or all of those games.

Dark souls Tuesday was a roaring success. We defeated the four kings pretty swiftly, the. The ceaseless discharge and then I got my butt handed to me by a fire demon that resembled the asylum demon!

There will be more this friday evening and also on Sunday which is to become Souls Sunday :3:

Yeah that's all pretty reasonable. Things like links and wishlists and even just the page formatting can be pretty poo poo on EGS. But to be fair, those things were poo poo on Steam for like 10+ years before it started to get its act together too.

Exactly. A lot of them were not exactly shovelware, either - they handed out the newest, has-only-been-out-for-a-day Total War game at one point, which is a nice 60 Euros saved even if it only got middling reviews overall, because I otherwise probably would've bought it as some point anyway.

I've been using Playnite as my launcher, it's pretty nice. Storefront apps stay backgrounded and system resources aren't spent animating a hentai game sale or whatever

I only dabble (my girlfriend has easily put like 200 hours into it though) and a lot of the winter team games suck but then a lot of the winter solo games rule so its kind of a wash

The two worst games (picture perfect and the one with the invisible maze across vanishing tiles) are both from release so :shrug:

It's nothing to do with how good or bad the player base is, it's just a bad idea to make a game centered around comically clumsy controls and movement and then make coming in first place the only real goal to aim for

Fall Guys was a fun month because the little dudes are cute and everyone was having a good time when they were otherwise super bummed. A game can be impactful and even hold a special moment in time without having to become a lasting IP that’s iterated and revised constantly.

Picture perfect is bad, but the updated picture perfect with a rotating arm to knock people off is one of the best for absolute chaos.

The invisible maze one has always been fun to me, but it also is consistently the most random and annoying for “skill” play.

How's Slime Rancher on PS4? It's only $6 right now so I doubt I can really go wrong by buying it, but I figured I'd ask here first. The basic loop seems like something I would enjoy, but I'm mainly wondering about any potential performance issues, etc.

no dude, I looked up the strats for that because I was forlorn and holy moly my raw damage HBG would not be getting me through that fight :negative:

was not super excited to make an entirely new build just for one fight, but I decided to take the opportunity to throw together an elemental DualBlades build I'd been thinking about for a while.

At least everything you unlock is cosmetic only, but it does end up with things feeling pretty shallow. And its definitely got a mobile game mentality in the microtransactions, almost like it should be a free game at that point. (If you got it on PS+ though ^^)

I'm honestly split on if they should make things more random or if they should make things more skill-based. At the moment its a somewhat frustrating combination of the two, lol.

i don't know that i would say the game has any performance issues and this might not be something that affects you at all or you would care about but slime rancher has some really loving weird default fov you can't even do anything about on pc. it bothered me, although a lot of games can end up bothering me because of epilepsy, but a friend who usually never has any issue with this would get sick to the point of vomiting just from it.

i rarely if ever see this mentioned so, maybe look up some streams or something just to check. otherwise the game seemed to run fine even on a base ps4 for me
