Also the guy at Nintendo just said the price of the online service is around $17.50 – $26.50 a year so people can thankfully stop freaking out about Switch online prices.
What a bizarrely, precisely imprecise estimate

i saw there was a new digimon world game out for the ps4, is it any good? i haven't played a digimon game in way too long
It is very much a Digimon World game, if you know what you're getting into you'll know if you like it. If you don't, beware because that formula is a bit unconventional. I feel that they didn't bother to add much in the way of extra detail, it still looks like a PS2 game remastered for PS4.

Comic book stores often have used games way cheaper than GameStop.

In my experience, used game stores all have eBay storefronts and price appropriately, maybe five bucks off Gamestop tops

Unless you catch Gamestop being lazy, but they always correct to the market eventually

Fire Emblem heroes is good and fun. Repeatedly murdering the dumb characters from fates and loli dragons with the OG green cavalier and friends is cool and good.
It's really not great but I've played so many terrible f2p hero collecting games that even "not enragingly bad" is enough to satisfy me.

Also I pulled Camilla and Abel who are just destroying everything in sight

I think the fact that the kid actually died during its development takes it from pretentious to genuinely tragic. It's less an art piece and more watching someone cope in real time.
That's always what it was about. But it's been video game "Oscar bait" ever since it first got picked up by the media. To be fair the pretentiousness pretty much lies entirely at their feet.

Last night I finished backing up my old PS4 and traded it in for a Pro. Tonight the restore finished and I found out that the Pro is broken. Like shuts itself off when you launch FFXV and some other games broken. Back to Gamestop tomorrow.

:negative:

This is why you don't buy first iterations of a new model. At least I had the sense to buy locally.

It sounded neat to me but if someone mentions loot in the first sentence summary I immediately lose all interest
Oh you'll love this one then. Not only is there loot, but when you craft a weapon or armor there's RNG mechanics for what quality it will be. Even if you use all the best ingredients you get like a 33% chance of the best grade :laugh:

Having a playable demo that I enjoy makes me more likely to preorder a game. I wish there had been a demo for No Man's Sky.
That often leads to regret. I really liked the betas of Destiny and Division and well... the final product on those are finally maybe starting to shape up but a preorder wasn't a good idea at all.

My experience with the chip has been that the chip wears out infinitely faster than the strip and is already getting read errors in brand new POS terminals with a less than year old card which is great when each attempt takes like 20 seconds and a lot of terminals don't let you give up and swipe until the chip fails 3 times.

My first chip card died in two months. My next one has lasted about four so far, maybe it will make out the year. It's not generally a problem, except that my bank hates Walmart so when their terminals gently caress it up I actually end up getting locked out of my account sometimes. At least they always send replacement cards no questions asked.

So what I'm getting from this Activision Earnings Slide is that Skylanders is not...entirely dead. It's only somewhat dead. They deliberately mention there's gonna be more seasons of the TV show and there's a mobile game development while also deliberately not mentioning whether or not a console title is in development as well.
I feel like they've painted themselves into a corner by maintaining backwards compatibility with all the older toys with each new game. The number of toys you can now use with the newest one is staggering. Sure, they can reuse assets to some extent, but not entirely, and reusing things traps them in certain ways.
IGE was once pretty big poo poo and dealt in a lot more than just WoW gold, it's not all that shocking to me.

Because you can only resell the "collection" as a surcharge to the latest expansion so many times in a row before it gets old

Hah! I've been reading the Destiny thread since I started playing it and I do not get 95% of the things posted in there. It's massively confusing.
The raids were basically your usual World of Warcraft-ish dance recital stuff but translated to a shooter. I did a couple back in the day but I didn't much care for it. Still I guess you should try one, you might like it better, I just can't be bothered to perfect the choreography needed for them.

Also that could have changed because I didn't even play the first expansion lol
