There's a secret question that they haven't bothered to tell anyone about now and they actually implemented it properly(don't loving show secret questions and answers you dumb banks, insurance companies, everywhere). Don't use real personal info of course. Might help in the case of future recovery if there really is a breach.

Yup, he literally described a phishing attack, right down to the password change notification that didn't change anything. The guy messaging him on PSN was just to add to the authenticity.

(I still changed my password, PIN and added a secret question because who really knows with Sony and it's easy to do)

I enjoyed Shutshimi, as stupid as it was. The idea of a fish with huge biceps still makes me laugh because I am a child.

It seemed to have some funny elements but the gameplay is total trash and not worth suffering through.

Seriously, why do all the console makers do this? Do people really like a choppy yet visually more complex interface more than something quick easy and straightforward? Is it just marketers that convince everyone to do this?

Don't forget Steam. It's a huge pile of garbage for display for no good reason now as well.

I bought Arkham knight, I know its not supposed to be good as Arkham City, and the DLC isn't worth the original asking price, but I am hoping its worth the sale price. Considering I almost spent this much a few months back on the base game. Since this isn't the PC version, and I liked all the other Arkham games, I think i should like it.

I didn't play anything since Asylum(except a tiny bit of City which I hated the open world crap) and I liked Knight for the pricing error I got it for. It's got some silly poo poo in it but I wasn't burned out on Batman like I think a lot of people were. Still think Asylum is the best.

It's an actual PSP version. Earlier the dev released a legit 386/486 DOS version; he's definitely serious about this game being on as many platforms as possible. I'm like 80% sure this'll get a limited UMD run, too.

Maybe if he makes it on enough platforms it will magically become good. Doubt it though.

...and the endless complaints about getting decent games continues.

Like do people have specific problems with the games on offer or do they just have a specific price point in mind and don't actually care about the games?

It's almost as if people really don't like compulsory fees, even when they're getting something with it.

Also I'm not sure it's really a 'fee' when it's literally the price of a subscription service and not something added on. I don't pay a Netflix fee, I pay for Netflix.

It's a fee to play online and you get free games with it too. I'm not going to subscribe to any subscription for just a lottery of games each month, I didn't during PS3 and I wouldn't now if online wasn't part of the deal. I can say that I've been pretty happy with the most of the months I've been subscribed with at least one game I was interested in but the free games really just help soften the feeling that paying for the privilege to play online sucks. It also helps that you pretty much never have to pay full price for it and $35-40 is pretty cheap if you're willing to stay on top of your renewal date(which I need to check here, it's been awhile).

Yeah I have bought plenty of things on there in the past but I had to delete my old expired card and tried adding a new one and it kept saying it was invalid. Then I ran into this issue with every other payment method.

I guess Sony really does not want me to play more Battlefront.

Typical suggested workaround is buy a PSN wallet card from Amazon and use that.

Mobile version of Chrome lets you request the desktop site, I don't see why the version on a Chromebook would be any different. If it has the Developer Tools, you can also use those to change the user agent.

From the Neo leak stuff way back when:

Eurogamer posted:

No online segregation between consoles: If a PlayStation title supports online features, they must be deployed equally on both systems. Developers cannot have Neo-only servers. We believe this may actually introduce gameplay balance issues if, say, the Neo version hits 60fps while the PS4 version is capped at 30fps.

So multiplayer fps must be the same(Naughty Dog confirmed this earlier this month) and no "Pro-only" multiplayer features.

Agreed, I enjoyed BL2 and Destiny as shooters. Had nothing to do with loot. I'll never understand people who get so obsessed with having the biggest numbers, but I guess those sorts of autistic/ocd leanings are common with gamers.

Not sure how you can group these two together if it's not the loot because BL2 shooting is dogshit and Destiny's story is pretty nonsensical.

The best you'll get: Make your PS4 the primary console for the account you never use and buy something with the $10 and then you should be able to use it on all your accounts on that PS4.

I'm not sure how that stops you for physical. Just play it once on the account you don't use and now you "own" it and can buy the DLC? Won't the DLC work on the same PS4 with other accounts?

Then you're surely not talking about Prototype because that game is just a rehash of the much better and more fun game(except the last boss), The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction.

Or you can sit and watch the stream normally. I initially tried doing it that way, but it refused to give me credit—even though I left it unmuted and in full-screen while I went shopping.

Too much clicking and searching, just enter:

in the console(hit escape if you don't have it up), the first time and after each time you claim a prize.
