I once got probated for saying "lol". It was in the middle of a longer post too so it wasn't a no content probation. The lepers colony just said "lol"

Yes the :lol: smiley existed at this time...Times have changed.

Ruiner gives me Crusader: No Remorse feels. That is good. It crashed my PS4 hard though. That is not so good.

They're both dystopian future isometric perspective action games that heavily feature red. For some of us things like that figure into whether we get shared feelings for games.

I kind of want to get Ruiner but it's a lot of money up here. It looks like an ultra-futuristic hybrid of Furi and Hotline Miami and I'd love to try it.

Ruiner has a hub world and skill points so it's technically different but it's still a twin stick bullet hell game at its core.

The music and visuals in Ruiner are loving awesome but man, even normal mode often kicks my rear end. I'm getting old and my reflexes are definitely not what they used to be :sigh:

I noticed that the default difficulty level the cursor is over when you start is easy. I guess they were trying to say something.

Remember to turn off the snap to enemies setting in Ruiner. You can actually lead targets with that off.

I loved those games, but yea they crashed pretty often.

Still, setting up the traps to freeze people or just hitting em with the rocket and watching em splat was awesome.

If I remember right I had to make the most complex boot disk ever to get especially the second game to work.

That said, the shooting in Ruiner is really annoying me, but I can't say why. It makes me just want to dash-pipe everyone.

The shooting in Ruiner feels awful and it's doubly bad because enemies are 100% accurate with gun and gently caress your poo poo up. I'm a little over halfway through and just not having fun anymore.

Anyone had the issue where once in a while your controllers just lose connection to the PS4 and hitting the PS button doesn't get them to reconnect (even if you wire them)?

I've got an OG PS4 so I'm wondering if it's an issue with its age.

What I found annoying though was that having four swappables works really well for stealthy nonviolence because you're basically switching from blink to batman vision to bending time pretty regularly, but when you actually wanna use weapons it's still kind of a shitshow.

Is there a good summary anywhere of the absolute bare minimum one needs to know plot-wise going into MGS V: Ground Zeroes/Phantom Pain if I've never played a MGS game before and don't really know characters outside of pop-culture/internet memes?

Not knowing the story for MGS might make you enjoy V more, since you won't care that it's poo poo.

From what I've seen, it appears to be. It's just odd that it's mentioned nowhere on the store but it drops Monday.

It's Oct 3rd in Europe, but smaller titles don't tend to have preorders. I wonder if it's because they have to have bonus content, or it'd cost them for preloads?

So, barring pre-orders, do smaller games just appear on their drop date in the store?

I don't mind going into town to get a physical copy, but I could've sworn I've seen titles on the store that weren't pre-orders but were listed before their release date.

That's definitely the case for some games. Ruiner didn't show up at all in the store until it was released last Tuesday.

this has happened to me once ever and i eventually fixed it by plugging it in and unplugging it and hitting the ps button, much the way a caveman may have solved the issue. i have no idea what caused it and it hasn't happened since and it sucked.

Horizon: Zero Dawn is pretty fun, and very gorgeous. I'm a little overwhelmed by the sheer amount of stuff there is to do though. If I mostly blow through the main quest am I going to miss anything good?

As with most open world games, returning to places earlier in the story at any time is encouraged.

Horizon is one of the few open world games where I'd recommend doing most of the content. Feel free to do it whenever and skip all of the collectibles except the vantage points if you want though. A lot of the side quests are really solid.
