Is the new Tales coming out one of the good ones or one of the bad ones?

Real hurthling! posted:

the last hour is a masterwork


unrelated: is infamous 2nd son combat supposed to be punishing? i beat first light 2 years ago and never died but i am having to be cheesy and snipe dudes peaking off ledges for like 10 minutes before i can even approach dup command center in this one. maybe i'm playing it wrong.

I did find it harder than the others. Especially early on.

Even later with a ton of powers I needed to get cheesy at times. I had one fight in an alley against several of the tougher enemies so I just kept zipping up a pipe and dive bombing from the roof it took me to, over and over.

Is there a list? I gave up following the Switch thread a long time ago.

Yeah here, but it's in crayon and my handwriting is messy.

I own the PS4 slim, the not the pro one so I am in your boat. Also, if people truly do want to belittle others for not having the cash to splash on a games console then that is pretty sad and lonely. Also harkens back to the old days of the PS3.

It's very pretty sad and lonely because it's supersampled from 4k which your pauperstation can't touch.

The Eurogamer review of Horizon says its decent but a bit uninspired and generic :/

Eurogamer says that for every game.

If I'm only going to buy one Marvel Ultimate Alliance, is there any reason it shouldn't be 2? I played them both when they first came out, but I can't remember if 2 was a step forward or a step back. Since they are the same price it's a little ambiguous.

Well, 2 has fewer costumes per character and the Civil War storyline that forces you to split the roster.

Not with Nier 2, Persona 5 and a new Zelda and Mario in the same year it won't be.

Only one of those games is going to be good, man.

What would that accomplish that the PS Button wouldn't?

Only official accessories can turn on the PS4 with the PS button for some reason, so it makes Harmony stuff not work.

But it looks like the PDP official remote this is replacing did have a power button so I guess I could just track down one of those.


Edit: Actually it seems Logitech may have silently updated the PS4 function and I don't need the remote to copy at all.

Didn’t The Rock steal the franchise from Vin? Or did he just use it to launch the spinoff?

The next Fast movie was delayed a bit to make Hobbs and Shaw and that made Vin and Tyrese angry because Tyrese needs the money and Vin's got bad movies to fund.

Yeah they really do the heavy lifting. ME2 only has like 4 story missions outside of recruitment and loyalty, and every one of them is "hunker down and shoot bugs for a while."

If the Harry Potter game is in the 18th century does that mean it's set in pre-plumbing Hogwarts when everyone just poo poo on the floor?

Oh then there is no reason to go disk drive outside love of physical

Yeah. The reason it's a whole $100 cheaper when the disk drive is only maybe $25-40 of hardware is because digital games must be bought through PSN so Sony can take a bigger hit knowing they cut a cut of every game you buy.

The 1800s was the 19th century, which had toilets and plumbing...

Yeah but canonically Hogwarts was well behind in adapting plumbing, because they were just so used to making GBS threads on the floor.

I only saw 18, I didn't notice it was 1800s instead of 18th century though.

That's only because of the UK's weird grocery store centralized game marketplace though. They're the same price digital/physical most other places.

Walmart in Canada still has the disc edition. Figure it's worth it for a 4k bluray player and for used games obv

It has both, though the digital says "date will be provided during checkout" which means it's probably later.

Yeah I pre-ordered for pickup at my local store and it's telling me arrival on the 17th.

The only stores available for pickup when I preordered were in the GTA for some reason, so I just went for delivery. Still says the 16th for me.

I don't care if I miss launch day, as long as I have one that won't be canceled I'm good.

I can't believe they went out this fast on Amazon. I waited a week to preorder the PS4 and still got it day one.

This wasn't the proper release on Amazon, so that might not be it.
