surely like 2-4 games of sales or selling your old discs would make up the $100 difference in SKUs

i’m just surprised the digital ps5 is actually cheaper by some not-insignificant amount. easy decision for me

skip the cost of the optical drive, plus the chance to get the customer in a position where literally every purchase they make goes through their storefront

from watching the preorder fracas it looks like the no disc model is way more popular than the disc model. rip gamestop

yeah control probably would've been my goty if I played it last year. setting, 3d metroidvania, story, characters, acting, combat are all top notch and it has great graphics along with great art design.

The floating chanters should drop a single blue health crystal if you shoot them, just to make that little extra difference that you feel you're not totally hosed after a bad encounter.

ordinarily i'd think 2009 is a bit recent to start remaking stuff but demon's souls has a lot of cool weird online poo poo that doesn't work anymore because the servers got shutdown, and a fair bit of annoying weird gameplay poo poo that could be improved upon.

if they get rid of the jank is it still a souls game

the blacksmith also respawns in 3. I feel like that was introduced in an earlier game, though I might be wrong about that. dark souls and onward also have the guy who you can pay to un-aggro any npc you hit but didn't kill

regardless, it was never a good idea to let you permanently gently caress an ng cycle by putting the controller down wrong

they did such a good job on the engine that the difference is subtle and minimal in general play. the game is just amazing visually

thatd be nice especially since theyre so prevalent in hub areas where ambushes happen occasionally. aside from atmosphere and as boost points for reaching higher areas, theyre most decorative so added gameplay involvement would be useful

So the 3080s "went on sale" at 6am this morning and sold out in less than one minute on every site. It sounds like approximately zero normal people were able to buy one.

Apparently plenty of scalper bots managed to snap them up, though, because they're already available on eBay for double the msrp, and it sounds like all the shrieking gamer ~influencers~ also have theirs set aside and on the way

Everything working as intended

yeah they're not gonna be available until Q1. They arent gonna have the capacity for demand AND the actual cards you're gonna want to buy wont be on the market probably for another month or so.

it makes things annoying for the scalpers as they have to go though the trouble of filing a non-paying bidder dispute and waiting for ebay to cancel the transaction. the couple of times i've had to deal with that due to nigerian scammers buying whatever i was selling, i don't think ebay refunded the listing fee

if you like cuphead you should play metal slug. just make sure you get the good ports (i remember some ports drop fps or have missing animation frames).

This is a good idea it's been a long time since I played the Metal Slug games.

I'm going to finish the Cuphead mod first though.

my first time through i had the same goddamn issue, but my second playthrough I essentially cheesed it by applying only extra health personal mods and extra damage weapon mods to shatter. had both at about 300% or so. thing went down in about three rounds of shooting/recharging

If you want a more arcadey experience playing metal slug a mame emulator is pretty easy to setup. Sticks are kind of pricey though.

buddy you are probably playing the same genre you hate (beat em ups i bet) and wondering why you hate the games. try playing something different like that windjammers or street fighter 3 or r-type or magic sword or those weird arcade puzzle games.
