Well, that's disappointing. Mix and match is a kind of simple thing and its not like it was super complex to have to manage the five or six components. Is it clearer about the stats of the various things?

After almost 6 years I'm finally close to where I was in Lost Odyssey before I deleted all my save games... And the fourth disc doesn't want to install and freezes up if I play off of it.

Worse comes to worse, you can buy a used copy, install it, and return it that same day?

I don't see any visible scratches and I tried cleaning it with a microfiber cloth. Sadly no dice. The install fails at exactly 3%. I may see if a nearby game store resurfaces discs or something. But I do think I'm reactivating my game access account to get a working fourth disc...

LO's fourth disc gets damaged really often, probably because it's bouncing all over the case inside that cheap plastic sleeve. Mine crapped out too.

The Berzerker posted:I played through Arkham Origins and had two bugs the entire time. I guess I was lucky but I really enjoyed it You have to approach The Saboteur as the gloriously cheesy B-movie that it is. Randomly shout out "oim focking oirish", get into car chases with Nazis while driving a c.1912 tractor at 3 miles per hour, run over nuns, have a fight inside a burning zeppelin, parkour up the Eiffel Tower, enjoy a burlesque show, steal a prototype tank and see how far into town you can take it, zipline between buildings while being strafed by German fighters... god I need to play that game again. It has a button on the controller dedicated to smoking a cigarette. It's that kind of game. The freeplay is the most important part of The Saboteur. Because there are sentry towers, V2 launch stations, generals, and a million other things all over the map, you can essentially create your own missions on the fly. In that regard, it is better than any other open world game in existence. It all fits narratively, because you are loving with the Nazis, it helps the main story, because removing sniper towers and checkpoints in freeplay means they aren't there during a mission, and it's just possible to make your own fun in so many ways. If you remember to not take it seriously, you'll have a seriously good time.

That's a minor exaggeration, but its nearer the truth than you'd think. I assume one of the production runs for disc 4 crapped out without anyone realising, because--I kid you not--we went through 6 copies before getting a disc that would play. The first couple of times we tried to return it, the store guys were (rightly) skeptical. By the time we were still bringing it back for the last times, they were just rolling their eyes. Good luck!

Poured boiling water into a bowl and placed the disc (label downwards) into it. Let it sit for a minute or two, then removed it and gently dried it with a paper towel.

So I tried out Otomedius Excellent. That was a mistake. Bland gameplay, creepy fanservice, annoying high pitch anime girl voices (why is it that in every Japanese game female characters sound like they're being raped when they get hit?), just a shallow shell of a Gradius game. I do not recommend this game to anyone.

Wamdoodle posted:Holy poo poo, that actually works? I thought every instance of someone suggesting that was an attempt at a joke. Unless you're messing with me right now.... Nah, I did it on a pretty badly scratched up X-Men Origins: Wolverine disc that refused to install (it would always stall out around 30%) and it worked. I guess it allows the plastic to stretch out and perhaps come back together in a slightly different configuration. It's a bit of a last-ditch attempt at a fix, but it can work sometimes.

With Guardian of Light, should I not bother buying the second dlc level pack? You can only launch them by selecting them ingame, and the second one isn't an option, only one and three are.

It didn't sell like poo poo, it failed to meet it sales target but it did ok. From my time with the game, I ended up enjoying it quite a bit, surprising since I went in with the lowest possible expectations, but the stealth is super solid and you're a much better fighter now if poo poo hits the fan. I also like the customization aspect and the game gives you missions where both going loud and going stealthy is needed, so you can prepare load-outs for any situation. If do get into it, please let me know if you're interesting in doing coop, there's an entire coop campaign as well as a set of coop only missions during Sam's campaign.

Ape Agitator posted:Well, that's disappointing. Mix and match is a kind of simple thing and its not like it was super complex to have to manage the five or six components. Stats are still expressed as bars on the main tank page, though you can see actual numbers for stuff like loading time and the like, but there's no way to check them side by side. Still no new maps either, hope they do that soon, I'm starting to get worn down with the same few maps, plus the lack of a good city map for brawling tanks. I'm still looking forward to tomorrow though. Anyone else getting WOT or already got it? I need some competent people to platoon with (says me on a 49% win rate).

Why not ditch the twisting mechanic and make the good d-pad the default? I assume there's something more to it that I'm not getting. They're not 100% reliable but they are far less prone to randomly choosing an entirely different axis on the DPad than the one you tapped.

They don't make them like that because they're pretty drat fragile when retracted so if you use them in Not as poo poo mode too much they can break.

Settings, Console Settings, Storage Devices, Press Y to bring up options, Then Format. Asks for a serial number before it formats itself, and gives instructions how to find it.

Just note, if you both plan on playing a game online together (call of duty, gears of war, etc), You both need a Gold account, otherwise one person will be referred to as MainAccountName(1). But there arent a lot of games that allow split screen online anyway.
