Are video game rentals even a thing anymore?

For me only Redbox survives, so needless to say many of the games I would like to try are not broad enough in appeal and never make it there. I don't give enough of a poo poo to use a Gamefly ssubscription

Who is getting the Switch? I didn't get a preorder but I know a guy who got two and I'm buying one of his.

I got an unexpectedly big refund, I could still get one. I don't like the idea of playing one game and then mothballing it for half a year though.

Steep is already discounted to 30 bucks on PS4, not sure about other platforms. imo it still doesn't have enough content to be worth even that which is a massive shame.

Yeah I would nab it for 20 because it's fun to gently caress around going down slopes, but that's about my limit. There is supposed to be a feature to make your own routes to share as competition but I had so much trouble with some of the built in ones I'm not sure I would bother. Like the third or fourth one I tried ever has you snowboarding among a bunch of fences and cabins and I just gave up trying to get a gold rating on that. The controls are far too loose (like actual snow I suppose) for me to manage that without umpteen retries.

This PewDiePie thing is hilarious. One of the dumbest ways to blow one's career. Still, he'll live but just lol.

Honestly there's no other way it could have gone, he's just too much of an attention seeker to quietly fade away instead of blowing it all up

The real lol thing is anyone taking him on as a property expecting he would behave

It's not, full stop.

However, large amounts of potential money can get businesses to look past many things until a large vocal outrage happens. This is not new.

What's 'exactly what I was looking for'? Naziposting tips? Because that's apparently all you guys seem willing to give.

You were looking to bait someone into defending something terrible, and when the circumstances were explained reasonably but you pressed onward that became obvious. As it was by ignoring the part of my post you quoted that explained it yet again. It's fun for you I'm sure but if you gave a poo poo you'd use that energy to crack down on someone actually doing harm instead of a bunch of largely harmless people who just want to chat about video games

Well, there's a reason why 'financial advisor' is an actual job. Not that they know what they're doing but they know the acronyms.

Also because they basically only have to set you up once and then make money off of you for years with minimal maintenance

Playing Catlateral Damage made me realize that games about trashing houses are a great but woefully underutilized genre. Katamari Damacii, Elebits, King of Crusher...uh...

I had zero interest in For Honor until I learned it's a pretty technical 3D fighter at heart and you can play as female versions of most of the characters. Too bad it's only 30fps on console which is really ehh for anything with high skill ceiling.

It's a technical fighter at heart but most of the techniques can be overlooked for the clearly imbalanced ones with better speed, damage and reach. And 30fps means nothing since nearly everything is deliberately telegraphed for several frames so you can react to it, sometimes with big honking icons just to make sure you don't miss it.

Several frames is understating it. Many attacks have probably 0.5-1 second before you have to react.

It's pretty much like playing a fg where every attack is a dust from gg.

Yeah, that was really what I meant. And as far as I can tell it's by design since they want newcomers to get into this thing. Unfortunately that means serious players just laugh at it

No, 15 minutes is just the limit of what an automatic clip would hold. It was well over an hour, if I had to guess.

what the hell happened with the xbone anyways, was it a massive flop or something? as far as i can tell all the new good games are pc or ps4

There's plenty of cross-platform titles that work alright on Xbox One, but they couldn't produce a convincing argument to favor the Xbox over the PlayStation, and eventually rather than continuing to delude themselves they started focusing on encouraging people to get games on PC through the Windows Store. At least that's what I got out of it.

I understand that always-online stuff is bad but I'd love to know how many people it actively inconveniences, it seems to me that always-online will just be the default in a few years given how the internet works.

If implemented wrong it tends to have bad behavior even for people who always have a connection. If you're in the huge part of the world that doesn't always have a connection then good luck

Do you also start book series from the second novel or TV-series from season three?

Some things work without context, some things don't. It depends entirely on the property in question.

Well you answered your own question there, I would totally pick up Simpsons or Star Trek or some poo poo like that in the middle. And before online video got really going that was the only economical way to see em

I'm either going to buy a PS4 Pro or a Nintendo Switch soon and I can't decide which one.
...

You're looking at maybe 5 FPS more in Boost Mode for some older PS4 games when that firmware hits from what I've seen, and questionable defect rate that may mean you want to splash for a replacement plan for the Pro as well. You could do it for your own amusement I guess but keep in mind the extra hassle if you want to transfer your data, especially if you've upgraded to 2TB already since the Pro only has 1TB.

It's a good thing that you may have to wait a bit to get a Switch and a good thing it will take you months on top of that to get through Zelda because it will probably take at least that long before another must have game comes out, depending on your opinion of ports, sequels and remakes.

Your best bet is to just get let yourself splurge on some cool new games and don't get saddled with hardware you don't need and the issues that go with that. Not as shiny but more bang for the buck and fewer regrets.

A question I never thought I'd see myself asking: is Farming Simulator 17 a good game? Does it have much of a progression or campaign?

I've occasionally watched people streaming that and it's got a few missions you can do, but most people never seem to care about them and just dick around forever. Though if you do some of the missions you can get some money for less effort than usual and use that for more farm toys
