My wife was pissed she missed the first time, so she’s been sitting here for 40 minutes going  and eventually got one!  she had a few close calls, so it wasn’t just a fluke. Apparently they keep adding some over time so you guys may want to keep trying. E: Walmart

Just got one from Target! edit: To clarify - I tried to add one to the cart when it went live earlier today. However I got immediately booted, but Target does this thing where they put the "oh this item is out of stock now" item in a "saved for later" portion of your cart. There's an "add to cart" button under it so I just spammed it for like 2 hours. 90% of the time it would just immediately refresh as out of stock. 8% of the time I could get to "added to cart, go to checkout!" but then immediately get booted as out of stock right after that. 1.9% of the time it would get to "place order" but then ... see above. 0.1% it went through!

Bananasaurus Rex posted:Ivalice does rule but i seriously doubt they ever revisit that setting again I dunno. I got huge Ivalice tones from the trailer. It's was Game of thrones before Game of Thrones (since it was inspired by the same 100 year war). And all the check boxes are ticked off for an Ivalice game: darker more mature plot, insanely convoluted political bullshit, chocobo knights. The thing about Ivalice is that it spans from golden age of magic and technology to dark ages with neother with thousands of years separating the games. This game could easily slot in there.

BeanpolePeckerwood posted:just as a qualifier, here's the order I played in BB>DS3>DeS>DS1>Sekiro>DS2 I played BB>DS3>DS2 until I realized it was trash>DS1 I would almost recommend DS1 first because going back to it after beating BB/DS3 makes it so crazy easy. Everything moves so slow, and you can really tell how much that game acted as the blueprint for the following games, so you already know how to beat everything, now you’re just doing it at half speed.

and the only way to stop issues like the PS5 preorder debacle or multiplayer game launches is to way overallocate expensive cloud resources for a problem that will go away just by waiting companies are probably just straight up not going to bother spending money for issues like this Arist posted:If you're gonna play P5 at this point I'd just wait for Royal to go on sale, but good list oh I didn't realize there was a separate version, ill look into it

Is this not right? I like the game a lot so I wouldn't want to skip either way, but it doesn't seem like Royal replaces mainline from what I know.

bought P5R a few months ago when i got the idea that i needed to try all the ps4 exclusives i missed out on are there any fans of the game that don't necessarily like anime/manga? it feels pretty boring and melodramatic with kinda poo poo graphics. am i a dumb person for thinking i'd like if it for gameplay alone?

There are new events/confidants scattered throughout the game, and they added new ways to get around the dungeon and reworked boss fights so that they make more sense (the Madarame fight is almost completely redone) so the "Royal" part isn't just new endgame stuff. Although there is a new ending that leads into P5 Strikers, the sequel.

I'm not an anime or manga guy and I'm not even a Persona guy, but I really enjoyed 5, it's definitely melodramatic, but I thought it looked really good.

Jose Oquendo posted:Some of the Turtle Beach headsets offer independent chat and game volume sliders which is a feature I've come to reallllllly like. Most other sets just turn one down/raise the other, which is ok. The only headset I came across aside from the Turtlebeach ones with that feature is an Astro set, but I ran into issues with it so I had to return it. Yeah that was my reason for liking them, I don't know how they came up with a function for the PS Golds (and I assume platinums) of the game volume down/chat volume up and vice versa. You can never get it right.

I mean it has incredible art and interface design, great music, a cool sense of humor, and some of the best turn based combat in rpg history  It also tells a story about societal corruption that, while melodramatic...is pretty loving relevant to our moment. Like, even before Epstein hit the mainstream that game was pretty satisfyingly
