  1. My point wasn't about upgrading hardware but more that you don't really see people claiming that multiplayer gaming is "unfair" because their system isn't as good.
  2. Shigeru Miyamoto has just come on stage during the Apple keynote to announce Super Mario Run on iOS. It has automatic running, but it's not solely an infinite runner, there's Worlds/Levels. Then there's a battle mode which is your typical mobile infinite runner with some other fun features.
  3. But this is what PC gamers have had for years, except they have to manage their own options. If a game is optimised to run at 60fps on the Neo, but the standard system can't manage that, then I assume it will have to have a reduced-visuals mode so that standard PS4 players can have the same experience. If developers don't want to deal with this discrepancy, I imagine they'll just limit the framerate in multiplayer to the lowest common denominator.
  4. Yeaaaah we're gonna need to revoke your PCMR membership card tho....
  5. So, it's not as good as Nintendogs?
  6. That's versus their full retail downloadable prices though... which you mostly wouldn't pay if you wanted to play those games. Also you don't own the games, stop paying for PS+ and they're no longer available. In contrast to yourself I haven't played anything on PS+ except Furi for a long time. I'm happy to pay because I think the service is (mostly) very good but the free games don't really make up any aspect of that anymore, not like they used to.
  7. Things are getting a bit more serious with my situation, spending a lot more time together However, she expressed an interest in playing Portal since it had been recommended to her, so I dug out the PS3 and put it on for her. And she had to... switch the controls to inverted I guess it wasn't meant to be.
  8. Pretty cool for capturing the atmosphere but for me the raid was about the action I wonder if I've got enough footage to splice together some clips and remember what it was like figuring those raids out for the first time. I can still remember very clearly how long we spent in the Gorgon maze looking for the exit, I wandered around with stealth (cool af, it's not like everyone had a Bladedancer back then) and when I finally found a narrow passageway and the words "Vault of Glass" popped up on the screen, I was so fucking excite. When we first learned how how to damage Atheon or how to bring down Crota with the sword, that was really awesome. Running VoG over and over again for Fatebringer or Vex Mythoclast or Vision of Confluence (@Deathjam) or the last bit of armour you needed to hit the level cap... it hasn't quite touched that brilliance since.
  9. Lock switch on a micro SD? Not sure if she tried moving pics, I'll check. I don't think it needs reformatting since it shows up in the device and illustrates its own available space.
  10. A friend of mine has an issue that's at odds with this thread title. A Samsung phone, I think one of the recent galaxy models. She can't put any apps onto the memory card, she can't seem to move anything to the memory card. She has less than 100MB space on the phone, a 16GB micro SD card in the phone with a huge amount of space on it, and she can't even install Pokemon Go. The online storage (8GB) is mostly filled with misc/other data (4GB) which can't be browsed in more detail from the usage manager, and apps which can't be moved. Is there a simple fix to this that neither of us can find?
  11. Congrats @Ramar! Now don't forget that deal we had where you would name your first-born "N-Europe" in exchange for a bigger PM inbox.
  12. Always nice to get our annual visit from you two :p
  13. I don't understand how some of you guys have room for all these DVDs/blu-rays
  14. Well done calling their bluff Gibbs good luck with the next steps!
  15. No we haven't, and there hasn't been a new 2D one since Fusion in 2002 (excluding Zero Mission) despite Nintendo seemingly having a love affair with revisiting 2D games since NSMB. No 2D Metroid on the DS or 3DS is a really confusing decision to me. Another confusing thing is why not make Federation Force a whole new brand since it doesn't include Samus anyway?
  16. I also don't care much. I don't see any application for me taking a two-player console out and about. That's just not something I have the time or group dynamic to enjoy. I just want a quality home console that's straightforward to play big Nintendo games (Mario/Zelda/Metroid) and fun party games (Wii Sports/Nintendoland) on. Is targeting the gimmick-loving market really that much stronger a play for Nintendo than appealing to such a crowd? Or will the NX really have a chance to push things forward? Not optimistic on the latter, but I'll wait and see. The Wii U was the first Nintendo console I didn't buy immediately at launch, since I was old enough to be buying my own stuff.... If things don't change a bit, the NX might be the first Nintendo console I don't buy
  17. Overwatch are doing a free weekend for PS4 players from Sept 9-12 (will start at 7pm BST). I encourage everyone to check it out! It's a lot of fun and, at least while competitive mode is active, there'll nearly always be a few of us on there. Details
  18. They dropped it significantly a while ago. The radius was made smaller very early on and the check rate reduced about a month ago. Makes it practically unusable on a bus from what I hear.
  19. Doesn't sound like a complete shutdown of the possibility, just saying it's not something they want to put resources into at this minute. Still disappointed following recent allusions.
  20. Anyone else just not that keen on this? I loved HR but I'm finding MD so clunky and jarring. There's a lot of things that break the atmosphere for me like people not caring if you walk into the back of their shop or apartment or smash things up, but then everyone panics just because you meander into a "red" courtyard or whatever. Battery drain is a real irritation, too. Not sure if it drains faster on "Give Me Deus Ex" but I feel like I should be able to use my built in augmentations much more often without feeling like they're so limited.
  21. Are you being intentionally difficult? :p none of those games were designed initially to use dual analogue. I'm not saying that in a list of existing games, in which dual analogue was not the original control method, dual analogue is a better solution than motion controls. I'm saying that overall, should the game have been built around its control method of choice, I find basic dual analogue controls the more intuitive, precise and complete method. Whilst motion controls attempt to emulate some real life practices like swinging a sword and aiming a gun, the disconnect is so wide that I'm left with a mental buffer to feeling truly in control, and the technological prowess is not quite there to make it a fast, fluid or reactive method, either. Edit: since other people are pointing it out, should definitely be stated that for an FPS, I also prefer the kb+mouse option.
  22. I'd hire @Mr_Odwin to tell me what to do with my money.
  23. Just watched, good call! Care to make another suggestion and make it a hattrick? :p
  24. No brainer I wonder if it'll follow the same kids.
