Have fun playing the original. Average gameplay (with a few Cavia hates completionist caveats) and fantastic story and music.

Uhhh Sorry, that's my fault. It was in the let's talk about this place thread. It was just that in here we had a good example of how differing opinions in this thread are accepted and lend to conversations rather than vehement defenses.

Well, I just traversed Makers End. Now off to work...

Well that's the wonderous thing about colloquial knowledge and naming conventions. They don't make sense and do what they want. Yes 4k refers to the approximate horizontal pixel count of 4000. In fact there is a different acceptable spec of 4K that is 4096x2160. There is also a 2K resolution spec that is 2048x1080 (half of 4K). Those are DCI specs though and consumer ranges differ obviously. Basically for no reason at all society flipped how they refer to resolution from vertical to horizontal. And with the switch we've also decided to be a bit less exact. Resolutions are a funny thing. Go to some hardcore hardware forums and you'll find people that swear up and down that 1920x1200 is worlds better and gives so much more work space than 1920x1080. (16:10 vs 16:9). It's hilarious stuff. A fun read if you care to ponder resolutions more. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Display_resolution

Interesting thread to ask this, but yes 4K is the same as 3840x2160 aka 2160p 1920x1080*2 which creates a resolution four times the size of 1080p. Hence the 4K moniker.

Does anyone else read the thread title and just envision a game starring the Pixar lamp with the goal being hopping around a house or office destroying things and playing with lighting effects?

Personally I find a good argument absolutely enthralling. Not just mud slinging of course, but an actual back and forth of the negatives and positives of a given subject/object. As for just posting a dissenting opinion in a thread full of praise, some of the people here should be directed towards the last few posts in the Horizon Zero Dawn thread. dan-likes-trees made such a post, he was not ostracized and others in the thread simple discussed the points made further. Much better than just circlejerking about the highs of the game.

Thank god Smell-O-Vision never took off.

Super necro bump! Uhhhhhh well this isn't much fun when I was the last one to post previously. Just sipping on some Jameson tonight. Well...the last 8 hours. Night shift is hell when the Overtime has t started yet. Back to Horizon.

I'm drunk and it's 1:45 in the AM and it just occurred to me, I thought you preferred to purchase games digitally? (I am playing this currently, not just sitting around thinking of you while drunk.....this time) Anywho. On the road to meridian it finally hit me. The similar landscapes made me realize it hasn't been since Red Dead Redemption that a game has enthralled me so well. It isn't just the graphics, it is the literal beauty of the land cast before you. And it's something that only RDR has captured before I think. Because despite GTA5 Fallout 3/4/NV Or Just Cause 3 it isn't just graphics and scope of the world, there has to be something more. An intangible heart and soul to the game. I think I already said, but it bears repeating. This is the most beautiful game I have ever exxperienced.

Depends how they're implemented. Achievements were a nice touch but never cared too much and still don't (Castlevania Symphony of the Night is still my only 100%). Somehow though whatever small differences that Trophies hold, I enjoy trying to collect them more. Of course regardless, there is no real reason Nintendo shouldn't implement the trend. I just hope they don't go full Nintendo on it and make the whole thing convoluted and unfun to manage. Ala online.

Let's call it your 'Ye of little faith' list.

Bah. And she's making you use the old TV. No wonder you attempted to sell her.

In a twist of fate, I'm going on nightshift for the next 6ish weeks. Small possibility I could participate. It'll be weird raiding sober though.

How can a game with so many options for the fucking HUD have literally no options for aim sensitivity?

Well, thinking back to the NX thread it's not that surprising we got so much from it.

That's good shit.

Not in Spanish.

733t5p34k. Ha.

Also, será not Sara. :p

I almost never watch trailers actually. So I went into Prometheus blind other than knowing it tied into Alien.

Speaking for the US, Amazon is actually extremely great for ordering from. Day of delivery on all preorders so far for me. Also the fact that buying a new release on Amazon within like 2 weeks gives a 20% discount. $60 games on Amazon are $48 games if bought near release or preordered. That said I haven't gotten this yet because I'm afraid I'd play a couple hours and then get busy with work and not go back.

So three nights ago I finally watched Prometheus. It has some issues yes, but frankly I enjoyed it. The way most people talk I had expected Resurrection levels of sucking.

Having a Xbox One, I agree with Sheikah I just don't use it enough to truly benefit from the service. Frankly I don't even like using it when I do. (A half truth, I do get plenty of enjoyment out of the games I play.)

Four Y's guys, I think he wants to bang! Welcome on board, and congrats on the kiddo. She'll drive you crazy but it'll be worth it.
