Apparently Microsoft is granting people refunds and Sony is not. Another small point I will consider if we get a next generation of consoles and not marginal upgrades.

Heavy Rain and Beyond both sold very well and Sony is treating Detroit like a big thing because of it.

The only thing that isn’t perfect about DOOM is that you can’t play it 24/7. Arcade mode is SO loving FUN.

Detroit had a massively expensive booth at PAX-AUS. Even had some guys dressed up as androids behind glass, posing as display models.

I think the rise of streaming has done a lot for David Cage's particular brand. His games are easy to LP over a couple of days, there aren't too many failure states or difficult segments, batshit insane moments in abundance and the presentation is all very cinematic when it isn't falling apart, which can also be entertaining in its own right.

Ms has a refund system to make this possible sony probably would have to manually go through a bazillion accounts cause psn is a rats nest. Im gonna be real mad if ps5 doesnt launch with a new psn service but in the end i guess ill just dwi cause sonys got the games i want to play.

At release Sony tried to make the PS4 into some media center, so they added stuff like a browser, media player and that stuff.

Then they changed idea and trough the PS4 really need to be some groupware app, coordinating all our communications and social life. This why they added things like circles and a calendar and a event system.

And now they seems to believe what we want is Facebook, so now when you friend somebody you also "follow him". I guess since the feature exist, maybe is possible to friend somebody but not follow him? When we friend somebody we get duplicated notifications, one for making him a friend and another for following him.

Is spam and is easy ignorable, so I am now whining, but it means somebody in japan believe that we want to faceboo-ize PSN, and that idea is so wrong that is funny to me.

Thanks for reading.

Hi goons,

I have a burning itch to race fake cars again. Gran Turismo 3 and 4 were totally my jam growing up so I was excited for sport to release.
However, I tried out the demo and WHERE THE gently caress IS MY CAMPAIGN MODE?

I just want to win series and slowly upgrade my Miata, slowly taking over the driving world as god intended. This doesn't seem possible with GT: Sport.

I'll be using a controller initially because there has been no reason to buy a PS4 wheel yet. So the game should work ok on a dual shock.

Thanks!

The worst offense is how there is now one phone app for messaging, a second app for communities, a third app for console control, a fourth app for Vue, and a fifth app for all the miscellaneous stuff left over.

Splitting the messages app was the dumbest poo poo ever. You'd still get notifications from the normal app and then you'd have to open the messages app to see them.
So so bad

And no I'm talking about motion steering with the PS4 controller cuz the guy said he wasn't getting a wheel.

Also the motion controlls are super good.

No. I like assistive motion controls in shooters, but they sound awful as the primary means of input in a racing game.

I will try it if I ever pick up the game.

Keep bustin'
Moved and got my own internet, so I'm messing with PS4 network settings for the first time. Says I've got NAT 2, with ~100 down and ~60 up. I had the impression that NAT needs to be "open" for good online play; is that the case? Googled around and some people seem to be saying that you're fine as long as you don't have 3.

What it's reporting there is fine, it means the console is able to obtain the services it needs from the router automatically. Open (NAT type 1) means the console is in the DMZ which is usually not necessary unless you do see problems at type 2.

It's hard to believe that anyone would play Marvel Heroes on a console. I assumed it was revamped but keeping the same name, nope straight up mobile content.
It was a really shallow boring Diablo clone, maybe Marvel will bring back the X-Men Legends/Ultimate Alliance devs for a quality free-to-play game. Hell, I'd jump on a proper sequel instead of the re-releases.

it plays fine on console? it's just a f2p diablo style game and there is definitely a market for that. it was pretty solid for what it offered

Yakuza 0 is fun, but a lot of the character models (basically anyone who isn't a major character who is scanned from a real actor's face or is a main character like Kazuma or Majima), the animations, and especially the controls feel like they haven't been updated since the previous console generation. A lot of in-engine cutscenes distinctly remind me of Deadly Premonition.

I did grab AssCreed:Origins for $22 during the Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals. Also grabbed Splatoon 2 and LEGO City Undercover since I’d been meaning to play it and TRU was doing a “Buy 1, Get 1 50% off” thing. Now I need to see if Best Buy will do their usual “Buy 2 Get 1 Free” holiday sale.
