As mentioned try a new patch cable. If that doesn't fix it, try a different port on your router. If that doesn't work, then either your bone is hosed up, or your router is.

Shhh. My Common Sense is Tingling



I'm looking for a chill controller game to play after sweaty PC FPSing. Im burnt on diablo3 and I know, I know, bloodborne, but I've never played a Souls game and every time I watch gameplay I feel like I would get bored. I tried For Honor, it was cool but not chill enough really.

Bloodborne or the souls are not very chill i'd say. They're all pretty tense, at least on the first playthrough. I usually go for rpgs or something when i want to lean back and chill through a game. Ff15? Maybe DQ builders? The witcher?

Shantae is pretty chill. I've only played 1/2 Genie Hero, but it's fun and cute and not too hard.

Soulsgames are some of the best action games, but they are not chill.

I can second this. Especially the first half of the game where you're roadtripping around. The rest of the game wasn't very fun in my opinion, but the roadtrip sim is great fun and generally pretty relaxing. I can also confirm that Souls games are not chill at loving all. I keep trying to like them but good goddamn can I ever not stand a single one of them I've played. I wouldn't mind getting a Monster Hunter game on a nice big screen though.

Dairy Queen Builders seems pretty good, and I'd imagine really any JRPGish thing would be a good chill option. I'm pretty interested to hear what other ideas people have, because almost none of the PS4 games on our shelf are chill and I only really have the motivation to play chill games these days myself.

Its like if river city ransom had 30 minute riveting dramatic cutscenes and the side activities of a shenmue game.

its not really an open world game as much as a run all over 4-6 blocks of a city game beating people up for money to buy new techniques.

i bought it and nioh at the same time and i had to stop playing nioh and focus on yakuza nonstop because the dual track story, which takes about 9 chapters to start coming together, is absolutely gripping if you like mob movies and the side activites are all really funny and don't feel like a waste of time at all. its the best game i've played recently and the ending is epic with like 45 minutes of scenes to make it all worth while and get you ready for the next game.

I kinda wish they put more icons on the map for the properties you can buy in the business side venture

I'm sure it was OK in Japan to go and find the spots that you would need to buy, but when all they give you is the translated name of the shop and all the street signs are Japanese, that's just a bit of an issue that you can only resolve by obsessively humping walls looking for a "BUY" prompt to show up.

Haven't gotten to that part. Sounds lame. The map has street names. Do you get close and then have to deal with it?

For some reason I'm there with you. The art style is cool, I love Plat games, etc...but I completely bounced off the demo and now have zero interest in buying the full game.

I meant street signs as in the shop signs advertising the business on the street.


You get the business name and the region that its in on the map and that's about it.

It's a bit easier for Majima since Sotenbori is a smaller map, but there's a ton business in weird nooks for Kiryu in Kamurocho.

Yes. I am going for a set gaming year. It has been really fun working within these constraints. I've played a lot of games I might never have touched! And completed one in a few weeks which barely happens any more.

I would love to get nier at some point but I'd like to finish the first one first. I don't have a PS3 any more though.

In some of those you get a better or worse reward depending on how you respond but I dunno about that one. I recommend going tsundere all the way.

Some say that his politics are terrifying, and that he once punched a horse to the ground...


Have you guys thought about how strong this year has been for video games?

Resident Evil 7
came out and proved itself to be a very strong shift in the right direction for RE/Survival Horror.

Gravity Rush 2 was at leats decent and managed to conclude the story of Kat.

Yakuza 0 was amazing (haven't gotten to it yet, but I've played the first 4 games)

Nioh has proven that From Software isn't the only one good at making souls-like games.

Nier isn't out yet, but we already have impressions from the demo, and it will be kick rear end.

Persona 5
: enough said.

HD remaster of FFXII (with international job system): Great for rpg lovers.

Dark Souls 3 will get its final DLC next month. We can only hope it's better than AoA

I'm sure we're waiting for more impressions on Horizon, Mass Effect: Andromeda, Ghost Recon, Prey, but they all have the chance to be really decent or great.

South Park: Fractured Butthole probably won't disappoint, so if you liked the first, chances are it's more of the same.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is supposedly a 2017 release.

For multiplayer stuff, Siege continues another year, For Honor might satisfy, and Battlefield will likely keep entertained with DLC maps this year. Battlefront 2 has a lot to overcome, but if they learned what went wrong with the first game... Titanfall is limping right now, but hopefully they do strong map releases after the crummy 'livefire' patch.

But really, we have a very strong Q1-Q2. Q3 kind of looks pretty empty, but there could be some surprise release/announcements with E3.
