Yes it is a very good and cool game but way easy compared to proper Layton and Phoenix games also the last case is like 10 hours of dialogue and almost literally zero puzzles :\

i think tomb raider just feels like an overall better game & story than uncharted (3) felt but im missing the uncharted puzzles

Tomb Raider is like 100x as good as UC3 and I say that as a UC3 apologist.

Game is dope as gently caress and it's hilarious the sheer number of people Laura just brutally murders.

Little bit weird that the whole game has this Sucker Punch vibe with the Wise Older Dudes always mentoring you but on the other hand she's not wearing a schoolgirl outfit

There's one class in MP who has something like that but he sucks. I want spacebows.

On PS3 at least, they totally did. He went from being a cruel joke to being death incarnate. Spec right and he can do poo poo like kill a Plat Banshee with a few bow shots alone, and let's not even talk about Cain Trip Mine abuse and how hilariously OP it is.

smdh if your idea of "really broke" isn't buying a 2 liter of Kamchatka and drinking half of it in an afternoon before finally banging that cool chick from work because now you're single because your girlfriend is insane and broke up with you to marry a dude who named their kid Aerith

I just looked up this Game Theory channel and they have a video which posits that Polybius was an extension of the CIA's MKULTRA mind control experiments with LSD. and the video included plenty of real facts about what the US government did to people like give one guy LSD every day for 6 months without telling him. so, the rest of their videos may be clickbait and dumb but if some kids get to learn about that then cool I guess?

Since you're just grabbing video, it doesn't really matter whether the game is new or old(unless they seriously streamed 320x240 video for PSX I guess), only the actual pace of the game. One frame links are as impossible streaming Street Fighter 2 as they are streaming SF4 Ultra. I have no idea if either of those are available for streaming, just an arbitrary example.

It does work, but you'd never mistake it for running the game locally.

Actually I don't even have super fast Internet (speed test puts it at 14 to 18 Meg down and 4 to 5 up) and all the games I've tried on PSNow do run without input lag (I've tried God of War 4, El Shaddai, FF13, Uncharted, Contrast) and are indistinguishable from running them locally

I was kind of a dick to my best friend as a kid because we both loved the legend of zelda and every now and then I would call him up and be like "dude Legend of Zelda 2 is out! It has a spear!" and after about 10 minutes I'd be like "haha syke". this was before the internet and you know if you can believe it there wasn't any actual information about Zelda 2 even existing as far as I could find

until one day I'm in K-Mart with my mom and I look over at the video games all casual and see a golden box behind the counter that says LEGEND OF ZELDA 2 BITCH and I made her buy me that so fast

when i got home and called my friend I had to be like "no seriously FOR REAL THIS TIME GO TO K MART" and his mom got on the phone and was all like "YOU BETTER NOT BE SYKING HIM OUT AGAIN YOU LITTLE poo poo"

it was funny
