The dock really fucks a case or nerfing it.

I finished it. Game is like deus ex with worse shooting in a bioshock map with worse art direction and a silent hill level of locked doors.

The interface is so bad too. Try to loot a body and its like tap but dont hold then hold but dont tap and if you do it wrong annoying other actions take place.

Spend the whole game swinging a wrench at headcrabs and reading emails no thanks

Finished the demo? I got to a spot that said I couldnt open it in the demo and a screen asking to preorder popped up. Was that the end? Cause I shut it off there.

No it sucks vs mimics like theres no splash on it and they are too quick for the aiming

It seems like a PC quicksand/load design philosophy. Like you should try every encounter a few times to find a cool solution.

Mimics popping out of bothing and killing half your health is some bullshit.

Finished it. I kind of liked it actually aside from the lovely combat. I think it has potential but I'll wait for reviews and probably make it a rental.

It seems...a little half baked for something coming out in a week.

Pop ups say "build traps. Do stealth. Hack poo poo" like Bioshock. But the demo didn't give any tools for that. Maybe poo poo demo? At LEAST wait for and reviews.

Even if the game is actually okay, which I'm doubtful of right now, that was the worst way they could have demoed it.

Oh cool, the internet is down.

Does anyone know if it's possible to connect a ps4 to the internet via phome tether? I do it with my laptop occasionally, but for some reason I don't expect it to work at all with a ps4.

I've never tried it but isn't it seen to devices the same as any other wifi access point?

No telling when the PS4 will try to automatically download a 20gb game patch or something though.

It worked. In fact the connection through my phones is 5 times faster than my wired connection. Because my isp is that bad. I really need to downgrade the service im paying for.

There are like four packages I could be getting. 30Mbps, 60Mbps, 100Mbps, and 150Mbps. I pay for 150Mbps, but I never get more than 40.

I get 100 through my loving phone.

Your phone isn't going through lovely ancient copper that could be anything up to a century old. Try talking to your ISP and see if they'll actually do something other than tell you to pound sand and accept it. It could also well be that you're way the gently caress out from wherever your local hub is, as distance is a factor with ethernet connections too.

DOOM will be almost a year old at the time Prey is released. I think I'll just go replay DOOM and pretend it was new.

Im in Missouri and they're routing me through Chicago. They are straight up lying about what they can provide and stealing my money. But I won't talk to anyone about it. I've tried, they're just bullshit. I don't have anything nice to say, and I'd rather soend hundreds of dollars than have to talk to another human being who doesn't care what I have to say.

While I'm not particularly convinced Prey is going to be good atm, I'm also not sure why people keep trying to compare it to fast paced FPS games when it's clearly some sort of Dishonored/Deus Ex thing .

Yeah I'm into Prey, the Gloo gun seems very bad and wrenching mimics doesn't make sense "am I the only one who thought of hitting them?" but I like upgrades and the spooooooky story they are setting up seems fun.

But yeah I feel like giving you 3-4 encounters in the demo where you just get swarmed by 4 mimics and die instantly (even on Normal) isn't great. Just showing off the first story hook is cool but this game is very floaty. I'm gonna play it but it needs work

Finished the main story of Gravity Rush 2 for real and the ending was... OK. The execution was pretty great, but the story consists of about a dozen half-baked ideas and concepts, and none are fully developed. And in the last hour or so they basically put in everything they could come up with little regard to whether it made sense or not. Sid is Alias! Sid used to work for Kat when she was a Queen-goddess! Kat fell to the city below before Sid but he was already a cop there when she showed up :psyduck: I guess a God/wizard did it?

Kat and Raven are two halves of one whole! What does this mean? When were they separated? What is the point of this statement? :shrug: Who knows.


There were actually a whole asston of hints to this effect as far back as GR1. Like, for just one example, you can see Syd about to pull out the Nevi controlling device in the climax of GR1, before Cyanea stops him because Fate. There are more, obviously, but that's a big one.

Comparing publisher products. Dumb but Prey was always going to be horrible, so it's fine.

Prey Demo crashed halfway through so I deleted it. Game felt like I'd seen it all before and added nothing new so was just boring :(

(To be clear, seen-it-all-before can be good when done right, Hitman 2016 was great, a refinement of the old formula).

Oh yeah I forgot SS1 was getting a remake at some point, maybe that'll do, just having normal controls would do wonders for that game.

E: It's a ground up remake, cautious optimism I guess.

I've been playing the PS4 version of Danganronpa, without touching it since watching the original LP's, it's been perfectly fine to me. Couple of spelling errors in the script, but nothing game-breaking.

Also I have to say some of the english VA's have done an amazing job with some of the characters :allears:. Junko's english VA was just gorging on scenery.

I'll choose the truth I like.
I don't play any survival horror so not sure how it usually is but is it weird in Prey for the battle music to keep playing for so long after everything is dead? I kept looking for more poo poo to kill. Once I found a turret I just carried it around and had it kill everything.
