I thought I had beaten the French Revolution Assassin's Creed way back when it came out, but it turned out I had given up about halfway through. The map is an ocean of pickups and icons, it's unreasonable. I thought I was on a new game+, there were so many it didn't look like anything had been done at all. I can tell why I gave up before; between all the stupid collectibles and the controls actively resisting what I want to do, it makes for a very pretty, but frustrating, experience. No other players were available to join when I tried to do a multiplayer mission, and I wasn't really expecting any (and I wasn't expecting to enjoy the experience if anyone had joined).

You get to crawl around Paris and it's pretty, though.

Get Plus for a month, play and beat stray in a weekend (or three hours), and it pays for itself.

Hmm, there are a few other games on there I'd plow through/get sick of in a day, that might be worth it. Does Callisto Protocol work on PS4?

They are really pushing that new ps plus system, it's kind of hard to find the free games each month with all the ads they put up for it.

I don't think it was pointed out that one of the free games this month was all three Mass Effects bundled together with most or all of the DLC. I'm not super far into the first one yet, but I loved playing through them years ago and can't wait to do it again.

The Callisto Protocol - Digital Deluxe Super Special Cool Elite Collectors Edition is on sale for a few dollars cheaper than the base game; $56 vs $60. Still too much for me, but nice if you're interested in that one and want to squeeze the price a little.

e Fallout 4 is $7, Jedi: Fallen Order is $4, Assassin's Creed: Odyssey is $15, Dying Light: Definitive Edition is $10, pretty ok sale

Currently playing and enjoying Telling Lies, with the caveat that "being nosy" is one of my absolute favorite game genres. :kiddo:

Just reading the ps store description... What is that game about? Plus it's live action, it makes me wonder, again, why they haven't ported Night Trap. Those ladies worked so hard on their pillow fights

Battlefield verdict: 2042 plays and looks like 1942 with a bf3 mod

Resogun, Elite: Dangerous, and just plain old Netflix are also top notch, even though they aren't fully VR. Gran Turismo and Ace Combat have some cool VR side levels but aren't fully playable in VR either. Battlefield and etc are a little tough for me but might be worth trying out. I wish there were more, I don't want to buy an oculus.

So my PS4's web browser has stopped playing sound. It doesn't seem to matter what I'm watching, no sound comes out. Any ideas?

Check if you have headphones plugged in somewhere or if there's an "unmute" option on the things you're watching, I'm not seeing an option to only mute browser sound. Are games/streaming apps making noise?


Trying the steps that don't cost hundreds of dollars first

Would it matter that I'm running optical audio to my receiver? It's always worked before...

Figuring that out would be the next move; start eliminating/substituting wires between the PlayStation and the speakers. Maybe it's just a bad optical wire, maybe it just needs to be different now for whatever mysterious reason.

Cool free games again this month. A samurai side scroller that looks like an old movie, a basketball game, and Jurassic World Evolution 2, which I immediately download and will be wasting the next two days of my life on

The free games today are a golf game, Dreams for VR, and some indie cartoon game. The golf game is normally a hundred dollars lol

Jesus it's £90 here and made in Unity lol

E: guess it defaults to the 'Deluxe Edition' to redeem on PS+ but does not give you the the deluxe edition bonuses

It looks insanely bad, my golfers eyes are clearly not pointing in the same direction. Between this and BF2042, I think it's obvious they're just dumping free AAA failures to boost player counts. Games being roughly the same price in the US and EU/UK has always been a terrible scam, I can only console you by reminding you that our healthcare system is as broken as the swing system in this golf game

I'm not a big sports game person anyway, but other than not looking spectacular it lets you play multiplayer, do career mode, and there's a few different tours, and that seems like pretty much what you'd expect from a sports game. Maybe it's because in golf you can't directly compete with the other players, ie steal the ball or whatever, or maybe people crave the mind shattering complexity of that one soccer games menus

Yeah, there's a good sale on PS Store right now, some excellent classics for $5-30. The best deals are probably Rainbow Six Siege for $10 and the PS2 GTAs for $30, but that's just my opinion. RDR2 and GTAV are both $20. Shadow of Mordor is $1.99. It's the first of the two games, so it's smaller than Shadow of War, but it's definitely worth more than $1.99 and the time you'll spend downloading it. Scroll through, I never got to the bottom and there's a bunch of good ones.

If I buy Skyrim VR, does it upgrade the version I have, or am I starting the game over fresh?

I haven't scrolled through all the deals yet, but there's already some interesting ones. Under $5 I saw Titanfall 2, star wars battlefront 1 & 2, the Jedi one everyone liked, and a couple metal slug games. Once I was up near $10 it got more a little better, there's some older (older.) AAA titles including Bloodborne, horizon zero dawn, fallout 4, and a couple others that might appeal to individual weirdos. The games get better from there, not a terrible sale unless you're looking for something that's come out in the last year or two.

e gta v and Skyrim are both $15, that's like 900+ hours of gameplay right there if you haven't tried those.

:siren: Sifu is $15 :frogsiren:
