Videogames were like a $110aud for a bit here. I think for like gta4 and Red Dead. Maybe some others, I can’t remember because I never bought them at that price. Weird to see it’s sprung back up. And like, in all shops too not just eb games.

I've got everything I want on ps5 preordered for $79 aud on Amazon and series x is even cheaper at $69.

I forget that the au version of Amazon isn’t all just Chinese knockoff kitchen poo poo and books

new Peter is fine. Someone in the PS4 thread said that they wouldn’t mind if they had a knockoff version of Vincent D'Onofrio as kingpin or Willem Dafoe and I agree. not a problem for me

What’s more distracting is that now I know doc ock is Rigby from regular show and that’s exactly what he sounds like

If you've got a PS5 preorder, can write okay and have a decent body of work online it's pretty easy to secure review copies of PS5 games. A lot of game journos won't have PS5s at launch and sites want coverage over the first few days - a great combo for getting free games. I think I've got Demon's Souls and Miles Morales sorted from an editor.

Do excellent posts count as a body of work online

Aus folk, I just got a text telling me to make a payment on the preorder through JB HI FI. the expiry on the link is on Sunday so if you didn’t get a preorder they’ll probably cycle you through the queue after then.

No I am kidding. It just sounds like names I heard from Image Comics back then. I remember characters named Bloodwulf, Darkchylde and Ninjak, for example.

both consoles look like spaceships and are going to look weird in my sharehouse where the decor hasn’t been changed for near two decades I barely care.

xsx looks clean. ps5 reminds me of seeing pictures of Japanese electronics in the early 00’s.

first party/exclusives/indie will use it, but i can see big third party stuff like ubisoft just not bothering.

That’s funny I always thought of Ubisoft as always being the one 3rd party developer that always tries to use some dumb console feature. Like, second screen stuff, the wii u gamepad in the timeless classic zombiiU. I haven’t bought one on the switch so I don’t know if they use motion controls for aiming.

HD rumble when playing handheld is like the worst poo poo ever so it sucks that developers remember it’s there

Bust Rodd posted:

100% disagree, the only game I didn’t like it on was Bloodstained, the rumble was so severe I really thought my Joycon would break under the strain, and it was eventually patched to be less severe. Schrier’s post about the haptic feedback has me more excited than anything else so far.

I’m one of the nerds who thinks that graphics are good enough that graphical upgrades aren’t exciting, I want games that hit me on new axis besides looking good, because all games from now on are gonna look pretty good (except Halo, I guess)

Really! Mario 64 was so distracting that it just ruined it all for me. My right joycon would buzz so crazy loud. It was mostly subtle until it wasn’t.

somewhere between falling asleep and waking up ps+ got super worth it. Re7, FF15, bugsnax, crash bandicoot and the last guardian are all games I don’t have but want.

I’ll ‘own’ hollow knight but idk if I’ll play it again. Finishing it on switch was perf but it was a lot.

Blarg - that's really lame.

Ah well - I already pre-ordered the standard edition and it doesn't look like there is even a way to upgrade to the digital deluxe version if I wanted to at this point, though I'm curious if they'll offer that stuff as paid DLC after release.

EDIT: On the other hand, it looks like the exclusive items are two suits of armor and one STR weapon. Armor hardly matters outside of fashion and there are a poo poo-ton of weapon options already, so I think I'll just move on.

In the comments to that tweet (don’t blame you for not checking Twitter threads) it mentions that in the Portuguese site it lists only the ritual blade as exclusive. The two amour sets and shield are listed as ‘early items’. Who knows.

the remaster should have gender requirements on armour sets removed. b/w tendencies are okay if a little unclear, if they added soapstone messages that mentioned them (“need white tendency”) that would alleviate the need to just look at wiki’s
