if you apply the standard formula for shitty technologies
(amount of people using a technology) x (terribleness of a technology)
bluetooth is objectively the worst technology of all time

Tempted to see if FPSes still make me motion sick to see what the Bioshock fuss is about.

Also argh at all the stuff I bought recently included above.
― Gwent Stefani (Leee), Friday, 17 August 2018 19:08 (five years ago) link
Definitely a solid price for God of War. Uncharteds are also bargain-priced. This is digital only right? Do any of you have a preference of digital vs. physical? Does it matter? In terms of speed or stability?
― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 17 August 2018 20:20 (five years ago) link
It's PSN, so yeah, digital-only.
Karl's diss of GOW has kept me from checking it out, tbh, so let it be known: ILG is a real-world influencer!
Considering Persona 5 though.
I have no real preference b/w digital vs. physical, though I'd guess that physical, which requires reading via an optical disc, can be more prone to mechanical failure and is thus theoretically less stable.
― Gwent Stefani (Leee), Friday, 17 August 2018 20:43 (five years ago) link
Oh man, don’t let me stop you Lee! I’m a weirdo with games, and my opinions aren’t even logically consistent. Tons of people like GOW. For the record I also dislike uncharted and last of us, both beloved franchises

O_O
With a TLOU opinion like that, you should work in the Trump admin!!

I ended up getting:
God of WarUncharted Lost Legacy (thinking of returning the this)Persona 5
― Gwent Stefani (Leee), Sunday, 19 August 2018 16:40 (five years ago) link
Can you "return" a digital purchase?
Sekiro, that Samurai/stealth distant cousin to Dark Souls, was just announced for I think next spring, which means (I assume) another couple of years for the PS4, til maybe late 2019 or 2020. Which makes me feel good for buying one now.
― Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 22 August 2018 11:41 (five years ago) link
PS4 has at least 3 more years, probably 4-5 for Japanese games
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 22 August 2018 13:29 (five years ago) link
I get that with a lot of FPSes like Call of Duty etc but was absolutely fine with the Bioshock games as they're a lot less frantic (see also Fallout/Skyrim).

Bloodborne Complete Edition is $12 right now. But, as someone who never got into Witcher and isn't interested in exploring open worlds, would I enjoy this game?
― Aye Begorrah, reader, I married him. -Jane Eire (Leee), Friday, 31 August 2018 17:49 (five years ago) link
It isn't really open world. More action than RPG.
― change display name (Jordan), Friday, 31 August 2018 17:55 (five years ago) link
i have never played it, but i always kind of imagined it as dark souls with guns?
― Karl Malone, Friday, 31 August 2018 17:56 (five years ago) link
the guns are sort of a red herring tbh, they're a combo piece, more shield parry than damage dealing. it's weird. the game is Great tho.
― Roberto Spiralli, Friday, 31 August 2018 17:59 (five years ago) link
and yeah witcher/open world don't have any bearing
OK, bought. My backlog, though...

did you get Spider-Man, cause damn it's good
― Nhex, Tuesday, 11 September 2018 18:55 (five years ago) link
If you like pure narrative titles and walking simulators (I do) And you can stomach some slightly twee magic realism (I can’t) then yep it’s worth a play.
― JimD, Tuesday, 11 September 2018 18:56 (five years ago) link
thought you were talking about spider-man for a sec. now that's a game i would play
― Roberto Spiralli, Tuesday, 11 September 2018 19:00 (five years ago) link
I doubt I'm getting Spidey (webslinging "feels good man" doesn't have much appeal to me).
I'm not sure about the pure narrative/walking simulator part, but maybe I just haven't found the right one? I'm all for twee magical realism though.
― Nag Reddit (Leee), Tuesday, 11 September 2018 19:15 (five years ago) link
The combat is pretty fun. It's basically just batman but it's a good batman game.
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Tuesday, 11 September 2018 19:30 (five years ago) link
pretty much. still, there's a real love and attention to geeky detail that puts it over the top IMO
― Nhex, Tuesday, 11 September 2018 19:36 (five years ago) link
TLOU Remastered is $10 in the PS store right now. I'm almost tempted to get it just to have it on PS4.
― Nag Reddit (Leee), Tuesday, 25 September 2018 18:41 (five years ago) link
it's a classic. i got the PS4 disc version on sale for the same reason
― Nhex, Tuesday, 25 September 2018 18:58 (five years ago) link
probably a good thing to replay around the time the sequel comes out, though I don't remember how long a full playthrough is. 15-20 hours?
Spider-Man reminded me how much I love the arkham games, and i remembered that I'd never played the Season Pass content from Arkham Knight, so I've spent the last week doing the combat challenges and DLC missions. In fairness to WB they did give a lot for that pass, even if a lot of it's small DLC missions, alt-costumes or tons of tank/racing/predator challenges I'm not gonna touch
― Nhex, Tuesday, 25 September 2018 19:00 (five years ago) link
Hollow Knight out today, I'm excited.

I tried to sell two games to Gamestop, and they offered $6 (PFFFFT). Is ebay/Amazon the better bet nowadays?
― Deontology Sanders (Leee), Monday, 8 October 2018 21:04 (five years ago) link
(Uncharted 4 and Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection FWIW. And that's $6 total.)
― Deontology Sanders (Leee), Monday, 8 October 2018 21:05 (five years ago) link
ugh.GameStop has always been terrible, tbf. i'd go with eBay or craigslist
― Nhex, Monday, 8 October 2018 21:06 (five years ago) link
tbf i think you can find each for about that much individually or a little bit more new
― Mordy, Monday, 8 October 2018 21:06 (five years ago) link
yeah old non Nintendo games sell for like 10-20 bucks new these days which puts a pretty low ceiling on trade ins
the way to game on the cheap now is just to be a year behind, not to resell everything
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 9 October 2018 04:51 (five years ago) link
reselling's for suckas anyway. you gotta hoard it all, forever, like a troll
― Nhex, Tuesday, 9 October 2018 05:02 (five years ago) link
But I don't even want to think about Uncharted anymore! (I still have Lost Legacy in my download queue.)
― Deontology Sanders (Leee), Tuesday, 9 October 2018 17:18 (five years ago) link
Give them to goodwill or something. You got your money’s worth.

I guess God of War for $25 is a no-brainer, right? What else? Dragonball FighterZ is a great game which I picked up at release.
― Nhex, Tuesday, 6 November 2018 19:15 (five years ago) link
Getting God of War and, if it goes on sale, Spider-man, assuming that my family, as usual, hasn't picked up on any of my gifting hints.
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 6 November 2018 20:25 (five years ago) link
yeah i'll probably pick up god of war and fallout 4
maybe an extra controller

I plotzed over a few hours into Horizon Zero Dawn in the other thread, but getting a decent way through the game, there are a LOT of rough patches (just starting with the facial animations and the uneven game mechanics, the ) -- like, how is this one of the PS4's best selling games ever?
And yet, the main story line has grabbed me! (Which I know goes against the general ILG ethos, but IMAMAVERICK.)
