Can I get some Tunic status reports? I think I suckered a few of you into playing it. How much does it suck and how badly did I mislead you about it being good? Anyone find the H*** C**** yet?
i got the grappling hook thing from the frog dungeon and stopped not long after that. the actual gameplay is fun but i couldn't figure out where to go or what the items i picked up were for except for the firecrackers the jackal thing sells

By that point you almost certainly have a manual page that explains what those items are for. Take a close look at screenshots. I'm guessing enemies might feel a little too tanky...as if you're lacking strength....

I already tried out Playstation Stars and got a $5 gift card.

Just be warned it'll apply the funds directly to your account immediately. Which is nice but you can't gift a code to someone else.

How did you do that? Did you buy a bunch of poo poo?

How’s Diablo 2 on the PS5? Been thinking about it since launch and the sales have been solid. I know it had some issues when it came out but hopefully they’re fixed. The idea of playing Diablo 2 on the PS5 sounds cool as hell.

I’m liking it, but go into it being aware that it’s pretty much a straight port of D2, to the point where if you hit L2 and the touchpad at the same time it switches to the original graphics instantly.

Very pretty, game still holds up, works pretty good on controller, it’s just an extremely faithful port.

Playstation Stars is like credit card rewards, it piggybacks on stuff you were going to do anyway (buy games) and you get a single-digit percent of its value back as a reward

Yeah I was a little disappointed at first (if nothing else I was hoping I could play as a lady necromancer) but it is really well done for what it is.

drat shame that it essentially killed the chances of us getting THPS3/4 Remastered, though time will tell if they’re definitely a permanent Blizzard support studio now or they’ll still get other projects.

Its a 4% back effective rate so it only takes $125 spend to make $5.

4% back on purchases, so any bonuses from campaigns will only lower the $125 threshold for a $5 return.

Old Town Road to EGOT

My first Diablo was 3 on PS3 like 9 years ago and I absolutely loved it. Bought it multiple times on multiple different systems. So naturally when a remake of 2 was announced, I got excited and pre-ordered it. Then I played the beta of it and really wasn't feeling it :( Apparently I'm a scrub for liking 3 but not liking 2 lol. It just felt so old to me. So yeah, I guess it is a faithful remake, just not one that appealed to me.

it's because 3 is a better game. the only reason to play 2 is for nostalgia

No no that one lambasted screen shot says 6 games retailing between 40 and 70 dollars is worth 4% of $5.00 or 20 cents

You need to spend thousands to make 5 dollars that way

D3 likers and D2 likers are very different people imo, and that's not a bad thing, but I feel like it's pretty consistently a thing.

For me the D2 remake delivered exactly what I wanted out of one, which is D2 that works well on a controller with gorgeous graphics and pretty much nothing else altered. D2 is an experience that is positively crystalized inside my adult brain and I think highly of VV for respecting that.

Current Diablo 3 is an okay game but it's good for like maybe three to four days. I only played Diablo 2 for like one playthrough on Normal back in the day and I didn't really get into it until after Diablo 3 came out and was complete dogshit (the launch version that is) so it's definitely not just because of nostalgia that I like Diablo 2.

D2 is cool separate from the loot while d3 kinda sucks as you wait for the loot to be excited for imho

I like D2 and D3 for very different reasons, though I think Blizzard missed a pretty obvious opportunity by not porting the campaigns of 1/2 into 3. The loot tables and graphics would obviously be very different but that would have been pretty fun.

Joined PlayStation Stars and I have 0 points even though I pre-ordered Modern Warfare 2 and God of War Ragnarok a while back, although I got a notification on my PS5 saying there's gonna be campaigns to earn points for those games coming later. I guess you only get points added for purchases made after you join?
