NES loving sucked. There, I said it. Don't get me wrong it more or less kick started things and led to good stuff but I'll never understand the NES nostalgia. Yeah ok mario was fun. But insanely hard games with poo poo controls. Don't get me wrong it was cool because that was all we had for video games at the time. Cracks me up how much people are fiending for that NES classic they're selling

SNES was p. dope though for its time

It's worth it just for the larger hard drive. You'll spend more than that $100 if you ever decide that 500GB isn't enough (because it isn't these days).

If you have a PS4 already I don't know that it's worth getting a Pro, but if you're deciding between the two, go with the Pro.

You can get the slim Uncharted bundle for $265 and an 1tb external drive for $56 off Amazon right now. Swap the two hard drives and with the upcoming patch you'll have an extra 500GB w/ Uncharted for $80 cheaper than a Pro.

Can't really speak if the boost and 4k is worth it since I'm using a 19" monitor but price wise it doesn't match up. Even a 2TB SSHD upgrade comes out cheaper.

At that point you've got one more piece of hardware on the shelf that looks like poo poo, a year-old game that runs $20-30 anyway, and the decision of whether the boosted hardware is worth $80. I still the Pro is the way to go.

Nintendo was never known for good performance since N64.

They have normalized an artificially low bar. Nintendo apologists are getting exactly what they deserve and expect.

Bought a PSVR on ebay. Hopefully I didn't just get ripped off. I've got a set of move controllers and a camera that I haven't opened, so I'll be listing those. I'll probably end up into this about $125-150 less than buying new.

It's more that gamers are idiots with a lot of disposable income who will preorder games based on hype and franchise recognition, and the game companies know and exploit this. Basically

Just spent like two hours playing London Heist, and most of that just replaying the getaway level. Oh poo poo VR is gonna be loving dope finally. I giggled like a goddamned schoolgirl when I realized I could stick my head out the window and look behind our van...and again when I opened the door in the middle of it. The PSVR headset was surprisingly comfortable, especially since I was wearing glasses. And I'm legit surprised the cables were long enough for my living room setup.

I felt like that game could have been so much more. All the elements are there. Decent graphics, decent flight controls, it's just extremely lacking. Definitely feels rushed to fill the VR hype.

Agreed, but the devs have been fixing it as they go. The drat thing shipped without being able to remap buttons ffs.

This is a good technique fyi

I play with a few friends I met goofing off in servers and none of us take it seriously. It's fun if you don't give a poo poo. Also I've noticed all Godholio does is play 64 player 24/7 operation Metro like it's some sort of weird addiction. Tried playing in there a couple of times and realized the servers nick name of "meat grinder" was appropes

Yeah, that server's loving nuts. But I'm trying to get all the weapon unlocks, and that's the best server I've found for farming kills. I've also managed to kick off political arguments in chat, and get a few people banned (for 20 years, iirc) by baiting them into using words that the server will auto-ban for.

That battlegrounds game is pretty fun. Definitely a lot of room for optimization, but the basic gameplay is solid. Trying to jump over things is hosed, climbing would be a great addition, and I'm not too sure hit detection is all that great yet. But following some fucker through a door when he's looking for you and shooting him in the back is great. Ducking into a bathroom because the house you're in has NOTHING on the floor and someone with a rifle walked in the front door sucks. Especially when he then throws a smoke grenade in your bathroom as you close the door. :lol:
