I had a customer ask to return their Christmas present of Ghostbusters on PS4. I asked why.

"Because it's awful.'

Let me tell you: They were not wrong.

How, precisely, do you expect them to sell something without putting it on display?

I'm 99% certain they're going out of business. They've all "remodelled" in Ireland and it looks like they just sold all their shelves and threw everything in bins.

I'd say they're being destroyed by CEX

The bins are easier to tidy because no-one browses them. This kinda makes sense?

Also, Gamestop employees don't get to open new games then play them for a week. We get to play traded in games for a week. We only open games when we don't get sleeves, because we know people like to buy sealed games. Once it's out of the charts you gut it because it'd be impossible to keep track of which boxes are real or fake in the bins.

I played through all of Batman Telltale today and can confirm.

For Honour could be good but it feels paper thin. The box advertises five modes. Three of these are "fight until enemy team all dead" in 1v1, 2v2 or 4v4.

There is a 4v4 mode where you respawn on death until one team gets enough points, then win by fighting until the enemy team all dead. This is the other 2 modes.

That's not a lot of variety.

It's a fair point that ps+ does add like 300 bucks to the price over the life of the console. It's optional, like currently I don't have anything I want to play online so I let it lapse, but for a lot of people I imagine it's just automatic cost of doing business.

This is true, but that 300 bucks gets you a few grand in games, so it balances out:

Free games when they launch like Rocket League;
PS+ Discount sales;
Occasional stuff like beta access to games saving you money when the game is bad.

Seems fair.

Prey has a real good story until the ending. The game rewards you mechanically for noticing things, which then ruins aspects of the story if you're being meticulous. The combat is the worst parts: larger enemies mess you up if you get close, and long-range weapons are non-existant unless you count throwing stuff. A lot of the skills are underwhelming: I maxed Repair to fortify turrets, and they'd die when I changed area. I wonder if skills are less important than they could be because they have the trophy for a no-skills run.

It feels like a scifi Dark Souls so good job to them there. The main contention is there's no class system, and level up simply increases your power number to equip better gear and mods. I'm enjoying it but I can already see there's a lot less replay value than a Souls title.

What's bothering you about it. If it helps it's probably best not to bother with using your pod fire except when stuff is flying out of range. The Pod Powers are fun to use, I really wish I could get Missile way earlier in the game.

You can buy into Dreadnought for ten bucks and get unique ships.

A year ago, when I rent an apartment with my brother, we could never get his PS4 online because of the WS-37397-9 error. Our IP was banned. Not for any of our doing, of course, but because our provider doles out random IPs, and the one we were stuck with was banned. Sony refused any kind of help, said it was on the ISP to change our IP. Our ISP said they couldn't change our random IP, only if we bought a static IP service. This pissed me off, and I blamed Sony's handling of banning IPs, not so much our ISP.

I had pretty much forgotten about that when I bought my first PS4, off the Amazon Prime sale. I'm in a new apartment now, so new IP (same ISP). When I first hooked it up on Friday, PSN worked, downloaded a few demos.

This weekend, I'm already back to getting the WS-37397-9 error. Banned again.

gently caress you, Sony.

Should Sony not be allowed to ban IPs from their service? This sounds like your ISP's fault.

- Select upload video

If you found Batman combat too easy you could always up the difficulty and it removed the counter prompts. It still feels like the best group combat style I've played: God Of War and DMC style always feel like bad guys don't care you're hitting them, and while Souls combat is good, it wouldn't be fun for fights against 12 guys at once.

I tend to think the health recovery mechanic is training you to get back in the fray even when you are in danger, but i guess that Health Recovery Gems and Blood Vials are at odds with that sort of design and I am definitely not one of the geniuses at From.

Ok, so for this month's PS+ games I haven't played an AC since 3 (:smith:) and I booted up this month's free AC stand alone. I was dumped into a loving stupid boat fight and then asked to go deep sea diving for treasure and realized that I was playing for 10 minutes and hadn't assassinated anybody and didn't see any assassination in sight, sighed, and closed it.

Give it more time. Your character is a pirate, not an Assassin at the start.
