Wow the trophies for TLG are pretty hardcore, not much in the way of gimmes just for playing through the game.

Welp, no point in trying it out now. Platinum or bust.

I got the platinum trophy in about 40 hours, but I can easily see myself going back and doing more runs just because the weapons are so drat fun. If anything I'd like to do NG++ with the Whirligig Saw.

My DS4 sticks are all falling apart and it's time to replace them. Is there a consensus on the best replacements to get? I see a bunch on Amazon, some rubber, some aluminum, but all seem to have mixed reviews. Is there a clear standout for one that doesn't suck and won't fall apart again?

I stopped playing Yakuza 5 a few months ago early into Saejima's storyline. He was my least favorite character to play as in 4 and is annoying to play as in 5 (not a fan of "heavy" characters in any game). The fact that they throw in a forced hunting mini-game with him was my breaking point. I just recently started it up again and am still on his part, but I feel like a great game is past him. Plus I just really want to finish 5 before starting 0.

So I think my launch PS4's hard drive may be making GBS threads the bed. I turned on the system and tried to start a game, only to have the system freeze (background music kept playing and ps symbols were changing). After about 30 seconds I can move around the dashboard again. This happens everytime I try to select something (Netflix or any other game). I rebuilt the database and at first absolutely nothing was showing on the dashboard aside from the top row (friends, notifications, trophies, etc.). I reset and now everything seems to working fine, but who knows for how long. Anyone else have this happen to them?

I'm about 12 hours into Nioh and I'm loving every minute of it, but god drat can I not play it for longer than an hour at a time before needing a break. I don't know why either because I've beaten every Soulsborne game and I'd play those for a few hours at a time.

Played some of the Ghost Recon Wildlands beta and I have got to say, the driving controls are probably the worst I've experienced in a long while. It may not make sense, but controlling a vehicle felt unresponsive and twitchy at the same time.

I had the opposite happen to me when I started a new playthrough a few weeks ago. Got up to the Cleric Beast and won on my first try. As much as I love the game, for some reason it just didn't hold me like I thought it would doing another run. Maybe it's just because there's already so many games to play and my subconscious was like "What the gently caress are you doing playing something you beat already?".

Wish I'd gotten into Watch_Dogs 2 earlier, holy poo poo.

I just finished this game last week and holy hell, I've never played a game where the characters are so annoying that I skip every cutscene. Gameplay was really fun though. My wife and I started cracking up when we were checking out the Full House area and some dude started smashing a parked cars windshield while screaming. We imagined it was someone's crazy ex.

Skyrim on PS4, is it pretty much the exact same experience as the PS3 version, but better looking? What I mean is does it still have the same jankiness, graphical hick-ups, and framerate drops?

The framerate was at least mostly steady at 30fps when I played it at least. Nothing at all like the wild swings in the PS3 version. I'm not sure what sort of graphical hiccups you're referring to but the Bethesda jank is never going away.

I meant like pop-ins and the occasional freezing here and there. I'm replaying on the PS3 right now and would love to play it again without these minor annoyances.

I ordered Mortal Kombat XL through Amazon (sold by 3rd party through Amazon) and received the UK version. This led me on a hunt for a seller who actually sold the US version, but so many I asked replied saying they had the UK version, even though they were all listed under the US sku listing. Even some ebay sellers who were using a stock US version photo said it's actually the UK version. Did most companies accidentally receive an overstock of one version and are now stuck trying to dupe customers just to get rid of em? I know the PS4 is region free, but I wasn't able to access the store to download any free costumes/stages.

You should just make a UK account and you can download all the DLC from that store and install it then switch back to your account like normal and you'll still have access to it. You should do that anyway to take advantage of the region specific deals and such on the EU store, you can fund the account through amazon or something.

I already returned the UK version and ordered what I'm hoping is the US version. Should I delete any save files in case they're not compatible with each other?

I guess I'm broken because I think the Batmobile is awesome in that game. I like scaling buildings with it and tearing poo poo down and I think it's a cool extension to the Riddler puzzles. The king of the hill/swarm battles with the tanks are cool and I feel like a badass when I zip right into the perfect position to avoid 20 tank shots.

If Arkham Knight is bad for anything it's being absolutely bloated with Ubisoft levels of open world bullshit. Hated shutting down the military outposts. Didn't need even half as many Riddler trophies. I still need to go back and finish the game on the hardest difficulty. I haven't even cracked open any of the side story missions; not even the Harley Quinn thing that came with my pre-order.


Yeah, Joker theme park was claustrophobic and just not fun at all to navigate.

I really enjoyed the batmobile segments, had a lot of fun just driving around town in it while drifting. I was really disappointed with the Harley Quinn dlc though, seemed really short and boring.

I guess Far Cry 5 is some Jim Jones cult, which is slowly becoming the new zombies or something.

Good, let it become the new fad in horror. Cults are way more scary than zombies just because it's more real that something like that would happen. I keep watching these new teasers, especially the church one. Even if they weren't for FC5 they are still awesome teasers. Just the calm beauty of Montana scenery being disrupted by terror is great.

According to PSNProfiles, Nubla has the highest platinum percentage (highest english game) with 97.64%. Next to that is My Name is Mayo with 97.50%. As much as I love achieving platinums, I just can't bring myself to get My Name is Mayo. I'm not that desperate, yet.

Does anyone think Sony watches Microsoft's conferences each year and maybe change some things up to their own within the 24 hours before it airs just to make it that much better?

It's probably my favorite game of last year and one of my favorite ever. I thought the story would probably end with a wet fart like most games of this type but it really delivers.

I thought the opposite about the ending, a lot of pre-release hype had me excited for some sort of "Aloy and everyone else were really robots as well". The actual ending wasn't as mind blowing I guess.
