I worked for GAME 10 years ago and yeah, it is pretty much Gamestop. They got mad when I quit for a better paid job and I reminded them that once during the christmas rush I sold 19 PS3s and 27 Xbox 360s and my wages for that day was £37.

No I was gawking at the traffic. Once the queue let me in I tried to add it to my basket and the site crashed. No luck at Currys. I did not try Game because of the potential of Yodel messing me up and I guess my last chance is Amazon. It would have been nice to get one delivered for my birthday in a few days.

I think Amazon is too hammered. It is a shame I cannot buy one, be put into a queue and just get it shipped whenever it is my turn.

Fedule posted:Allegedly, GAME's "priority insured shipping" they hawk with these things to get another £15 out of you is with Royal Mail, moves the delivery date up to Dec 5th, and says you'll have your console in hand then or you'll have £50 back (or something similar, it might have been "up to £50 of the cost of shipping") or a full refund, so long as you submit the Royal Mail form yada yada yada. Who knows how this will actually shake out in this world where companies can just tell you to go gently caress yourself and close your ticket but hey. I would be picking that by default. I am getting married on the 10th and I am infinitely more interested in Lady VG than a PS5.  henpod posted:Ah man, I'm really rooting for you. Sending all luck your way.

The US keeps getting new Wallmart and Gamestop and other place deals. Even a direct on the Sony website, but the UK has nothing at all like that. Or I am completely missing it.

Jack-Off Lantern posted:Spiderman actually is strong enough. He pulls all his punches against normal mooks. It's a bit silly That is one of the best things about him. Also the awesome run of comics when Doc Ock takes over spider-man's body and becomes the Superior Spider-man and has that realisation that at any time this kid could have just obliterated him but always holds back due to being a good kid who does not really want to hurt anyone I think it is the thing that endeared him to me the most

Thinking about it, I had to lower the difficulty of GoW to easy as well, yet I too am going to plat bloodborne. I never thought of that. I loved the GoW story though, I have it on my favourite games list at #32 purely for the story and the puzzles.

PS4 had like four games worth playing over it's entire life, there's no reason to be sitting there refreshing a page over and over so you can get ground floor on a console that's gonna get a better version on a year and a half One of those games was Bloodborne and it was worth the console.

I have yet to get a PS5 but I really, really would like to get one. Dark Foals looks interesting as a relative newcomer to souls games. Maybe by the time I actually finish Dark Souls, I will be playing Dark Souls II on a PS5?? (This is a self burn at how long I am taking to stream Dark Souls.)

BeanpolePeckerwood posted:i mean how else is a gamer supposed to get strategy guide tips other than a loading screen? I actually should have said 188 hours. Dangit, I missed the obvious 12 hour joke. I wish the DS5 worked on the PS4 like the DS4 does on the PS3. My DS4 is creaky and has a bad stick, but I do not want to buy a new DS4 for £60 when I plan to get a PS5 asap.

Fedule posted::souls stuff: In our GOTY thread I wrote about 2000 odd words as to why Bloodborne was my game of the year. It was a lot of gushing and whatnot but the key thing that made me start liking it, and then Dark souls, was the fact that I played the game on stream. Bloodborne Cleric Beast and Father Gasweegnee bosses were two that I did back when I got the game, then I did some exploration, died to a ton of bosses I found and gave up for 2 years. Deciding to try again but on stream so people could see my struggle flipped some kind of switch. With people giving me encouragement, advice, laughing at my self inflicted deaths and even joining me in Game, it transformed everything about it. I fell in love with it completely and managed to then beat the remainder of the game in only 18 more hours all on stream. The social aspect of it is what got me to love the game and that love permeated to the point that I can play the games solo now. (I often boot up Bloodborne just to have fun in the chalice dungeons or continue my NG+ because I am going to actually plat a Fromlike, which is something I never thought possible.) Same with Dark Souls. I like it and will play some tonight, but I will stream it because I have so much fun when people are around me laughing at my incompetence or giving me pep boosts and helping me to improve. I think for some kinds of people it takes a sort of prompt to get you into the kind of game they are and if you are lucky enough to get that prompt then it is really easy to fall in love with them.

Hbomb is correct that I enjoyed Bloodborne so much I gave Dark Souls another try. Though for the longest time I kept trying to play it as Bloodborne and forgot that Dark Souls was much slower and had shields and no dodging everywhere (coupled with a terrible left stick) and as such I was not approaching it correctly. Hearing that DS3 is a kind of mix of DS and Bloodborne has me very excited though, and parrying is my favourite of all Fromlike combat things

Having some fish n chips for dinner, then Dark Souls Tuesday. When I left off I had gone down to Londo Ruins and was chatting to a dude in a red robe on a roof while ghosties were attacking me. He gave me something and that is as much as I recall. Should be interesting! Also playing up in my office! Who knows what to expect?!

I played a bit of Assassins Creed Origins, IV and 2 but never really got more than an hour or two into them. I feel like I should enjoy them, they are definitely my kind of game from the sounds of it but for some odd reason I taper off.

Tonight I am playing more Dark Souls and I am heading towards Lost Izalith I believe. Gotta beat that big fiery demon in the corridor first, then I was trying to think of places I had yet to visit and I think I probably have to hit the catacombs at some point and I do wonder if there is more to the valley of the drakes than I thought. Plus a bridge with what looks like about 5 blue standing lizards. Needless to say, I am jazzed to see what this evening will bring!
