Finally diving into this over the long weekend. Quite liking it so far. Went through Surt, and now into Valravn. Tense as fuck, the atmosphere is just dripping they've layered it on so thick. It's wonderful, sends shivers down my spine. Anyone else pick this up yet or not?( @Hero of Time) it definitely is deserving of the praise it's received.

@Ashley sums it up well. The story was fucking fantastic, along with the world they crafted. I am not a fan of Naughty Dogs gunplay at all in any of their games. To me it's the weakest part of the Uncharted series (barely eeking out the bullshit superpowered enemies at the end of Uncharted 2). Of course in TLoU I actually found the gunplay sections to be fairly competent. Possibly because it focuses more on resource management and most enemies can be eliminated quite quickly. If it might suit you more @dazzybee to somewhat experience the story I recommend this LP. Alternatively to that, https://www.theverge.com/2015/5/1/8523939/the-last-of-us-cinematic-playthrough-tv-style-series someone cut that majority of the gameplay out but has all the dialogue and such all. I've seen the LP but I haven't watched this so I can't vouch for it's exact quality, but I doubt it's bad given the source material.

Harsh. I enjoyed it enough I hooked up my PS3 today and just starting Jak 2. Picked up the collection from the PS Store....$10 Jumping timing feels much better in Jak2 just so you know. Annnd apparently I need a new PS3 controller. This is flipping it's shit and doing things on it's own.

3 tried and I got it. Tight timing though. Anyways platinum get. Hell at this right I might hit double digits for platinums sometime this decade. @Aneres11 how goes your Jak experience post Spider Cave?

Well, last night on Jak I plowed through to the Volcanic Crater. Tonight I knocked out both the Snowy Mountain and Spider Cave. I didn't really find either to be too difficult. With exception to not knowing I had to use first person to kill the gnawing lurkers, and that turning off the force meant precision platforming to jump over those. I tried and failed multiple times and then accidentally went over one while sliding on ice. Ah well. 91% complete now; likely to be a platinum tomorrow.

Jumped into Jak today. It's enjoyable but it definitely has some aging issues. Camera control is a sticking point, and similar to Crash horizontal jumping is painfully short, with very tight timing for double jumping and ground pounding. That said I don't think the controls are bad, just aged. I'm a good 36% through after a few hours. Inside the Precursor Lost City now but quit for the night.

Spellkng wrll right up until that last bkt. My problem is I hate tbks android keyboard. 4 years on iphones makrs iy aa hard switch. Alright @drahkon whrte we gonna meet? Everykne is kn a different cljntry more or less. Plus I have a friend who mighg hate ms me if I go yl to Germanu. She had a bad experience with a exchange student. Kind lf soured her knGermans. Ironic being that her heritags is German. Wow it's like yoj anticipated my questikn.

It's okay you're allowed to be drunk in all threads. You just aren't allowed to be belligerently drunk outside of the drunken thread. So perusing the store I noticed Sonic Mania. Has anyone checked it out at all? It looks like it's basically a half remix of the original games with some new ideas thrown in. Which sounds like a good thing if the movement physics all feel good and the levels are designed in a fun manner.

I somehow completely missed that Jak and Daxter were getting the PS2 PS4 rerelease treatment. I'm actually still lamenting that Sony decided to nix that specific category from the store and just mixing those games in with every else. I've never played the Jak games so I picked this up right away. Maybe one day I'll get the PS3 collection....and maybe one day I'll go back and finish the Ratchet and Clank collection... I'm still slowly plinking away at FFXII via my Vita currently. Which means I've neglected Pyre and Hellblade.... :/

Not the first time I've heard to skip the first season actually. I may give it a try but I'm in a YouTube hole of watching LPs while playing FFXII on my vita.

Maybe AoE was a traditional RTS, depending on what they do. I have faith though, Relic is talented. I don't see why they couldn't go back to successfully making a traditional RTS.

Yes the spoiler tag. Because so many of us would not have guessed you were drunk I only had a couple bloody Mary's last night myself.

Laying in bed right now after a 2am text message. One of my best friends sent me a message that her mother called to say her younger sister was in a car accident and apparently not breathing....and that's all the known information. I just love being speechless and 2500ish miles away. Ahh fuck man.... Update: Breathing and talking. Stopped twice in the ambulance though. I'm going back to sleep.

I watched like half an episode about 5 years ago. Didn't grip me much and then a douche at work kept pushing me to watch so I never did.

If a player character dies they'll switch to an available character if no other character is available (either through already being dead or being currently played) their number just disappears. So number 3 player in that screenshot could literally just be dead. Or player 2 was the Sprite, died and switched to Marle. Also this was one of those games whose story was absolutely butchered when translated to English. So yeah, dude face heroes name is actually Randi.

Well, this is good news.

Alternate title; Final Fantasy XII: An Exercise in Tedium. I got a Seitengrat. Initially I only found a brute force how to and it was basically "Spend hours zoning!" So I was amazed that anyone would get more than one. Further investigation yielded healing up with Reks and loading the autosave. I can get a chest 100% of the time now. I'm 1 for 3 on the timing of opening it though. Did it perfect the first time and fucked up the other two times.

Sweet!

I didn't know that. Not that I can parse your sentence in a way that makes sense to me.

You're just jealous you didn't name your band Curved L

Sipping on some $60 a bottle Bourbon made right here in Detroit. It's quite good. (And 100 proof) Also lamenting this Android phonw. It lags sk much posting with the picture beinf displayed. Edit, extra murrican, a box og .22 Bullets in the background on my kitchen table. Forgot tk take them to my dad today. I don't evwn own a .22 rifle

Few years back Left Hand Free was pretty big on the radio. I quite enjoyed it but that's the extent of my checking them out.

I think it's the overly energetic butt rock that makes that trailer so over the top.

My One S no longer turns on at all. Or more accurately I think it straight up doesn't send a signal through HDMI any more. So it basically bricked itself.

Fuck it, as long as God Hand gets an HD version I think I'm okay with the ports
