My friend just gave me a Vita to play Persona4. I might buy one, the way you can play PS4 remotely on it is really cool. Pity only some PS3 games work though, I just assumed they all did.

between cross buy and PS+ i had a ton of games i could play on the vita when i got it without having to buy anything, it ruled. it's perfect for stuff like Spelunky or Risk of Rain or Binding of Isaac or whatever

The PS store gave me $10 credit again for some reason, but there's nothing at that price point and I've got such a backlog that I don't want to spend actual money on more games. It expires in like a week, too...

Too bad, last time they did it a couple months ago, Bloodborne was on sale for :10bux: :v:

I used it for 2 hitman eps during the sale where they were $5 apiece and it was probably the best $10 i ever spent on the PS store.

Took me easily a dozen hours to realize you could tab over on that screen. The XP ones are the debased currency items but some other random pieces of junk have cool unique catalyst effects too. Kind of annoying the item descriptions for those + ones that can be used as upgrade materials don't tell you so in any way

ABZĂ› game worth $20? I heard you folks comparing it to Journey. Does that mean it has co-op with randoms poo poo or there is no dialogue?

poo poo looks purdy.

I think I liked it more than most people because I really like fish/sea animals and that game has the coolest portrayals of marine life I've ever seen . I can't deny that the structure felt a little stale coming off of Journey, though, especially since I had just played that for the first time a couple months before

I remember people saying months ago that GameStop accepts broken DS4's (knowingly so they can refurb them, I'm not talking about being a dick and tricking them). Is that still happening? Was it ever true?

I have a broken DS4, and am moving on Sunday so I am at the point of trashing it or if I can any money whatsoever (legitimately, they know it is broken when i trade it in), then I will swing by tomorrow real quick. The left control stick is all wonky, and you will push up and it will jump from going up to down and back, so your character will stop running or will walk when you push it all the way forward instead of run.

Thanks!

GameStop's site says "Trades must be in full working condition to receive full value", I'm fine getting $5 instead of $21 or whatever good ones go for.

They take like $5 off. I think when i did it i got $25 instead of $30. All the used controllers they buy (working ones included) go to a warehouse for parts for refurb from what I understand; they don't get put directly back on shelves

I was looking for a new game to play and realized I never played South Park: The Stick of Truth. Then I saw if I pre-order the sequel on the PS Store, it says I can get the first game as a bonus upon checking out. But there is no PS4 version of the first game in the store.

If I buy the new game, do they just give me the PS3 version of the old game? Or are they re-releasing the old game on PS4, but not until the sequel comes out?

you get a PS4 re-release immediately on preorder. you don't see the PS4 version of the 1st on the store because preordering the new game is the only way to get it afaik

Okay so yesterday my step-dad switched our Internet provider(from Frontier to Spectrum) and unfortunately our Internet strength went right down the toilet, which sucks cause it wasn't very good in the first place, before I'd average 1 to 5 MBPS on download speed for my PS4(not very good admittedly but it would suffice as long as no one else was doing any streaming), now it won't even crack 100 KBPS, anyone have any good suggestions to possibly fix this before I have to spend a bunch of money on a pair of Powerline adapters, and before you ask, just using an Ethernet cord isn't an option, the Playstation and our router are on opposite sides of the house

I don't know what you thought they cost but here's a pair of well-reviewed power line adapters for $22.99 on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AWRUIY4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_-9qMyb4VX8N5F

edit: otherwise yeah the other answer is probably to buy a better router than the stock one your cable company provided you and that's gonna cost a lot more than $22

Yeah no poo poo. I'm waiting on RE7 to get a price drop, new or used, I dont really care. I bet if I walked into a gamestop today new will be $59.99, used $54.99. I'll just buy new for $5 more. But I'm not going to buy either, so gamestop loses eitherway. $40-45 used though? I'd have no problems with it.


Oh well next year it it will be like $15 though :)

the real advantage to buying used at gamestop is the 7 day no questions asked return policy for used games. they don't really heavily advertise it but it's totally fine to just bring it back and say "I didn't like it" or whatever and get your money back

It's 26€ for normal and 30 for Deluxe (I know 4€ isn't much but the DLC looks like just cosmetic poo poo).


DLC is 100% cosmetic (and not even in loot box form! you just buy the poo poo you want), all new maps and weapons and modes and poo poo are free for everyone on release, no strings attached. Just get the regular game and buy skins if you like it and wanna further support the devs

In Bloodborne, how is the summoning of other players handled? My brother has the game and is having a hell of a time getting anywhere. I played Demon's and Dark Souls a ton so I'm used to these games and I was considering getting BB to try dragging him through via co-op. I know BB is more aggressive compared to DS, but the core of the game is similar enough for me to pick up easily enough.

how have you played those games a ton and not played BB? gently caress your brother, pick the game up tho

I just wish you could skip into later dungeons without doing earlier ones. Chalice dungeon progress and items should have been per account, not per character imho.

That would have been a cool way to give access to weapons that don't appear until later in the story for fresh characters. Especially since stat requirements are so low for everything it's annoying that there's no way to do that

Got an email from Sony today that they're going to start charging sales tax on digital poo poo in my state now. I understand the arguments for online sales tax in cases like Amazon where they're using the state's physical infrastructure to deliver their goods while they compete with local businesses, but I don't get it for ones and zeros.

Pretty much it's the story of living in a failing tea party state where the idiots have cut taxes on the rich to the extent of creating billion dollar deficits and are now trying to make up for it by creating a hundred new little taxes for us poors instead of reversing the cuts on the rich. They were even talking about a new tax on using car washes recently.

On the Nintendo eshop you could just change the zip code in your account info (even if the billing address for your card was in the state that charged tax) and not worry about it. Might work on PSN

I don't hate that they let you teleport everywhere after the first one. It makes sense. It also killed how satisfying it was to open major shortcuts and how cool it felt to get the ability to fast travel to major bonfires though. It also just made me feel like I treated the games with less gravity which was something I really liked about demons and Ds1

I'm surprised there's no points in 3 where it temporarily gets disabled and you're trapped. I was really freaked out the first time when the body snatchers got me in Bloodborne and i started respawning in the jail cell and i didn't know how close the nearest bonfire was

Is the Bloodborne DLC/GOTY edition worth getting? Can't find someone selling it used in my town, but I can get the regular Bloodborne for $10. So it's between that and full price for the GOTY.

How much is "full price"? The DLC is very very good & if you like the base game you'll want it; but you can buy it for $20 and you probably won't be able to do very much of the content in it until you're near the end of Bloodborne. Unless you really want everything on one disc with no downloads just pay $10 for Bloodborne; the GOTY edition doesn't come with any other extras

edit: yeah I forgot that it's gone on sale down to like $8 before too. Just buy the base game and don't worry about grabbing the DLC til your character is like around level 60 or so. You can access the new areas quite a bit sooner than that but they'll be extremely difficult unless you're just really badass at the game

I hate the blockbuster movie sheen quality and cheesiness of it, the only reason I kept playing is because the gameplay and landscapes were kind of fun, and some of the set pieces were interesting, still isn't my thing.

I don't have PS+ yet because I don't have any games to play with my friends but I think I'm going to get Ark to play with a couple friends, but I just bought Unravel on a whim and gently caress is it gorgeous and fun. So calming, great music, great graphics and what seems like an emotional story. Glad I picked it up, but I still have the 20$ PSN card, leaning towards putting it towards of a month of PS Now.

Yeah I looked at the reviews too, was just wondering if anyone here had played it and had any opinions. Might as well try it out, the basic edition is only 5,95€. The "complete bundle" costs twice that but looking at it it only includes a few extra boards and chess sets, not sure if it's worth the extra.

I've only played single player and I think I got it similarily cheap in a sale. Nice interface and lots of tutorials and options for AI difficulty and stuff. Basically just what you'd want out of a chess game. Not sure why you'd really want the skins and stuff in the "complete edition"

From what I've read it's like 20~ hours if you're doing the optional content and not just blowing through the necessary story objectives. Sounds comparable to a Deus Ex game or something (except with one big open map as opposed to a mission based game like DE or Dishonored)
