HardDisk posted:Pretty sure you are talking about the bus, but after I platinued it, it started spawning in the mountains, thought still rare. I believe the glitches issue is missing destructibles that prevent you from getting 100% for the game. But the highest completion trophy is 75% so it's not the end of the world.

Oh boy, this doesn't look good. http://www.1up.com/previews/dark-souls-pc-port-underwhelms quote:The PC port of Dark Souls was a product of fan demand -- a petition urged Namco Bandai to make it happen, and the publisher answered by announcing the Prepare to Die Edition for PC in April. Following the disappointment that emerged when it was announced Games for Windows Live is being used (as opposed to, say, Steamworks), there is another reason to temper excitement over the PC debut of the Souls series. gently caress. At least they are being upfront and honest about it.

Just Cause 2: Started playing and was very "meh" about it. Culminated in the car chase where I'm just shooting dudes chasing us going "boring, done this tons of times.." THEN, I got the glorious thought of leaping/grappling to the other vehicles, slapping c4 to the roof, and blowing them up. For a nice finish I shot out the tires one the last few cars and watched the tumble off the road. Yeah, not feeling "meh" anymore. I loving LOVE this game. Edit: Excellent marketing strategy by Sony with the PS+ games this month. Even if the average monthly lineup is weaker than this one I'm still happy with signing up for the service.

I'm sure that with enough processing power, you could just brute-force the game to run smoothly. I wonder how online will work? I was hoping that it would support mods, but due to their inexperience, it's not likely.

Can you grapple two helicopters together? Because I just had an idea. The cars do random things when grappled together, due to differences in mass/etc... but I want to grapple two helicopters together and see how much of a clusterfuck that is. It might be tricky to pull off, you'd probably need to attract the attention of one while standing near one that's parked on a helipad then take off, but... hmmm. Oh why do I have to be stuck at work right now.

It's very true that fighting games take a good amount of time and dedication that a lot of people aren't willing or able to put into any one game and they definitely aren't for everyone, but that's not really what we were talking about. I think the argument has just come back around to "fighting games suck" so let's just agree to disagree here.

Samurai Sanders posted:I finally got around to watching the trailer for the newest God of War game and...I just don't get it, why is this series just continuing like nothing happened? The end of 3 sure looked pretty final to me, like they wanted it to be the end of Kratos's story. Every other huge developer is showing off something new and exciting while they're just making the same game over and over again, I guess just without a fixed camera this time. Maybe because people really like the God of War games and by the time it releases it will have been 3 years since GOW3? Also really, every other huge developer is showing off something new and exciting? That's laughable at best. All they're showing is the latest entries in the yearly COD, Assassin's Creed and Need For Speed franchises etc, so don't try and single out Sony Santa Monica for something the whole industry does. At least they have the courtesy to take their time developing it and try something new rather than making GBS threads out the same game every single year.

melon cat posted:It's one of those rare instances of a sandbox game done correctly (so many games try and fail miserably). The only thing JC2 was missing was destructible environments. Oh god, if the cities were destructable.  If there was a button you could push to regenerate it all, that would be the perfect sandbox game. e. There's no multiplayer right? Because if there were, THAT would be the ultimate sandbox experience. Can you even imagine 16 player Just Cause 2? Chains of tethered objects as far as the eye could see.

I dunno about you guys but I think Just Cause 2 would have been even better with co-op as well. I mean the game is fantastic fun already, but being able to play with a friend would have been awesome. I can only hope that the sequel will have some form of online co-op integrated into the experience.

Renegade Ops was pretty much top-down Just Cause 2 with 4 player coop, running on the same engine and everything. I wonder if that was like secretly a test case for their netcode or something.

JC2 has been great for me but I am hitting a wall blocking my fun I think. I made the mistake of not taking advice about putting the game on the easiest difficulty. gently caress, how hard can normal be when there is hard and harder? I may not be made out of paper, but you get into situations where so much fire is coming at you at once that you might as well be and a helicopter can come in and has a chance to ruin your day before you can hijack it. It seems I can't switch difficulty mid game, sadly. Is casual such a difference that I should go ahead and restart? Also, I am little upset that the vehicles I bought on PSN are not especially cheap in game. I paid a buck for Monster truck an a hovercraft each and I would like them at my disposal constantly.

I was playing Lara Croft: Guardian of Light just now, co-op with some anonymous internet person. It was all going fine until after a cutscene I spawned inside a wall and couldn't get out, I had to quit. Is that a common occurrence in that game?

How long is the current PS Plus lineup sticking around before they switch it out for another batch? And if I download one of those titles, will I still be able to play it after the switch so long as I'm still a member?

It'll switch out for another batch in about a month, and as long as you have PS+, you can play it whenever you want.

Not sure how long they're sticking around but you can always "tag" them as purchased by clicking on them and confirming purchase, then backing out. You'll see a red shopping bag and they'll be in your download history for later.

As long as you're a member you can play whatever you get even after it's removed from the listings. The stuff on the listings is all purchasable otherwise, so even if you delete it from your PS3 you can just look up the game and download it again for free. You won't be able to actually play it though unless you're a member. You don't have to keep the membership forever you can not renew, then whenever you feel like playing one for a while renew it.

Just like before but drastically increasing the overall value at any given time compared to pre E3.

A quick question about PS+ So if you don't actually download the free games on the month they're free, do you lose access to them entirely or is the sort of thing where you can redownload them as long as you're subscribed?

Just "claim" the PS+ freebie by purchasing it before it's taken away and you lose your chance. You are not required to download it right then and there unless you want to. I've been a PS+ member going on 2 years and I have a huge backlog of former freebies I still haven't gotten around to playing but still can if the need ever strikes me.
