The PS2 had Tekken Tag at launch. That game was solid fun for 3 years. So good.

Maybe I have no soul, but I'm not enjoying The Last Guardian.

Every time I start to get into it, the camera and controls immediately pull me out of it. I get bored of it after playing about 20 minutes and don't care to play anymore.

Everyone has talked about how amazing the game is, so I'm going to finish it. I'm never thinking "man, I want to play TLG!" I usually have to force myself to slog through it.

I know I don't have to, but I want to see this ending everyone is talking about. Plus, I keep convincing myself that it gets better, or that I'm one play session from seeing what everyone raves about.

A lot of people don't like it, maybe even the majority, so don't feel too bad. It's very divisive at best.

Yeah. Smash is a system seller amongst Smash fans but all the other big franchises have become niche. I mean, Soul Caliber and Virtua Fighter are dead. It's sad really.

I thought TLG was looking decidedly last gen from videos but really it's just painterly in a way that does not translate to YouTube videos . Much more so than the last 2 Ueda games.

Super Smash Bros. and Mortal Kombat are big hits. Killer Instinct and Dead or Alive 5 found success as service games. On iOS/Android, Marvel: Contest of Champions is said to make over $25 million in revenue per month.

So either have lots of content or use a compelling business model for your target audience. We'll probably see a few publishers support the development of new fighting games since they want a breakout hit for eSports.

I'll cop to not buying a fighting game since SF4 was a launch title on the 3ds and not buying a guilty gear game since the first one. It's a genre I like more as a concept than a thing I actually buy

I remember people saying months ago that GameStop accepts broken DS4's (knowingly so they can refurb them, I'm not talking about being a dick and tricking them). Is that still happening? Was it ever true?

I have a broken DS4, and am moving on Sunday so I am at the point of trashing it or if I can any money whatsoever (legitimately, they know it is broken when i trade it in), then I will swing by tomorrow real quick. The left control stick is all wonky, and you will push up and it will jump from going up to down and back, so your character will stop running or will walk when you push it all the way forward instead of run.

Thanks!

GameStop's site says "Trades must be in full working condition to receive full value", I'm fine getting $5 instead of $21 or whatever good ones go for.

For fighting games on PS4 there's a really nice selection, but for recent games King of Fighters XIV and Guilty Gear are absolute must buys. After that Dead or Alive 5 is a lot of fun (you can buy the disk for like $20 and get all the characters at once except for the one or two DLC ones instead of buying them individually on the PSN version). If you like classic stuff on the PSN you can get King of Fighters 2000 and Last Blade 2, the former has a nice roster and great presentation for the price and the latter is straight up one of the best fighting games ever made.

Basically if you bring in a busted up system or a game that's scratched to hell they can still take it but just give you less for it. They're not supposed do that with accessories like controllers, headsets, etc. but the POS will still allow them to so a lot of times the employee will knowingly do it out of reflex/they don't know not to and I can say from having worked at GameStop for ten years that there's no real penalty to the employees or store for doing so. It only takes off a max of $4 for games and accessories (it will take off less if you're trading in a messed up game that's already only worth like $3) so go for it. The absolute most damage you will cause is that if the store manager cares they'll just tell the employee not to take in broken controllers anymore.

If store policy is to not take them, then I won't try to sneak. I just thought that I saw they would knowingly take them and just give you less because they were using various parts to refurbish them.

They take like $5 off. I think when i did it i got $25 instead of $30. All the used controllers they buy (working ones included) go to a warehouse for parts for refurb from what I understand; they don't get put directly back on shelves

It costs GameStop $00.50 to refurbish a PS4 controller so I wouldn't worry much about it, like I said many employees will knowingly do it, I'm not saying to try to be sly just bring it in and see if they take it even knowing that it's broken.

They immediately go up for sale unless they know that they're broken.

The Last Guardian can be rough to play, but the experience is worth it.

It is probably the best game to come out on the PS4. Things can change, but 10 years from now it will be remembered as special in spite of its flaws while many other games will be forgotten.

It really is a work of great art. It does things that most developers don't even attempt. It makes you feel.

LOL

Generally if the controller looks good it just gets bagged and put on the shelf or in backstock or whatever. But if it looks super lovely or cheeto encrusted or whatever usually one would just not take it or it would get wiped down or just sit around and never get sold because it looks like rear end.

Oh I did this recently actually.Just a few weeks ago. My launch DS4 was barely functional with mushy buttons, 30 mins of battery life and they gave me $30 for it without even testing it. I was even trading it in towards a new DS4.
