Platinum for Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition (PS4) get! Again: Great game I said I wanted to tackle the DLC but unlocking the final trophies burnt me out on Sleeping Dogs. I might play the additional content sometime in the future, though.

@S\.C\.G You can get Mark of the Conqueror by beating the first boss and Mark of the Strong by beating the second. You should give the Demo a go. It's amazing.

Just watched the Infinite Warfare multiplayer reveal and while it does look good, it's basically Black Ops III. If I hadn't played the latter for 300 hours in the past year I'd get it but for next year Titanfall 2 will definitely be my shooter. : peace: Not sure if I'll be there day-one because there are so many other games coming out in October and I only want to buy one. Oh man... Dragon Quest Builders Rise of the Tomb Raider Dark Souls 3 Ashes of Ariandel The Last Guardian Skyrim Titanfall 2 FUCK.

Finished the final mission of Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition just now. I actually didn't want to do that until I got the collectibles, side-missions, etc out of the way but the story was so engrossing I couldn't stop Great game. Deserves a sequel. Will take it slow with unlocking the remaining trophies. After that's done I'll tackle the DLC missions that are included in the definitive version.

When I quit the first stage I had just unlocked the shortcut to the very first shrine, so when I entered the stage again I spawned back at that shrine. The shortcut, however, was reset... Maybe you start at the shrine you last used but the shorcuts reset? Or maybe it was a glitch...

@Dr\. bob even with the Beta Firmware update the What's New section is buggy as hell. It updates whenever it feels like it. The last time it updated for me was yesterday and now it shows me stuff from very early August (5th of August)... I think Sony has gotten a lot of messages about how shitty it is Hopefully they're working on it.

Yup, that's annoying. I will definitely point that out in the Beta Demo Survey.

Badland is not bad. HA! Seriously, it's a good game. I bought it during a sale a long time ago and it's fun. @Hero\-of\-Time you might want to avoid this because the trophies are freaking difficult. And there are co-op trohies which are insanely difficult, too (offline only). I want to finish the game eventually but I'd like to play this with my girlfriend. Need a second DS4, though.

I feel the same. I need quick and constant action Battlefield doesn't offer a different experience which, objectively, is spectacular and good but not for me.

Can't connect Well, that's what a beta is for, I guess I do hope that I'll be able to play tonight, though. After a couple of matches I've realized again that Battlefield is not a shooter for me Titanfall 2 this year then

Most likely...it's what they've done for years now, trying to be different. It worked with the Wii, it failed with the Wii U. And with the NX they're trying it again it seems. Worrying situation.

I'll hold off any judgement until I see the official design. I'm worried that it'll feel like a cheap plastic toy just as the Gamepad does (or basically any other Nintendo controller). I really hope Nintendo will improve on their devices' build quality. Whenever I use my Vita it feels good, like a great piece of technology. With the Gamepad I always felt like it could break at any given moment. And it just didn't feel good to use it. Not sure if I'm alone with this And I still hate analogue sticks above the face buttons... Oh and if the NX won't be region free...then there's absolutely no helping Nintendo.

Open Beta available for download on PS4 Will hopefully be able to play this tonight.

If the NX will be another console/handheld with a gimmick I kinda hope that it will fail simply to see what Nintendo will do then. Not sure if the handheld division is strong enough to mitigate a potential fallout. I mean, two failed consoles/devices in a row? Sheesh. @Jamba I really hope we won't see a gimmick...the portable home console (i.e. handheld + dock for TV play) is the only "gimmick" I could accept if it's handled well.

Yup, if there's anything I know about women it's this I told her that I have nothing against her spending time with them, I also said that I don't like them and I don't want to lie to them and pretend to like them.

Looks like it doesn't matter which thread, it all ends the same. Please close/delete this one. After only a couple of posts it came to the usual and one thread for that is enough. Edit: @Happenstance basically described why I created this thread in the first place. I wanted to be diplomatic about it and wrote a long post to explain but apparently it wasn't worded well enough to make my intention clear. Anyway, this thread has gone to shit and I apologize for it.

Yeah that downward spiral is something I'd like to get rid of. Well, I actually don't have the thoughts of her breaking up with me in my head anymore, so that's much more healthy. I know her, she's pissed and stubborn and my stubbornness has come to an end and I will continue trying to get a response out of her. I don't know...being honest has more often than not left me with huge problems. The thing is: I don't like being a hypocrite and pretending to like someone. And she knows that. I get that it's not great to her that the SO doesn't like some of your friends but still...

Heh, my days of that have been gone with the Wii U. What I hope is that Nintendo can get me back with the NX. I won't get this day one because I want to wait and see what will happen. I've believed their promises once and have been disappointed by the Wii U. This is really annoying. We need information and all those rumours aren't helping. Just as @Happenstance I "seem to bounce between actually interested in getting an NX and just curiosity on what it will be" but the latter is taking the bigger part.

After I've read your post again twice your point does come across. I simply missed it the first time and responded immediately. Don't worry, no harm done

It was just a statement that I don't like that particular group of friends and I don't like spending time with them because she asked me why I didn't want to join them the last few times they did something. She can still meet them, I don't mind. And I would never say anything to her like "you should stop being friends with them". I really don't see what the big deal is...if she couldn't stand some of my friends I wouldn't care. It's perfectly normal not to like someone. And because I mostly say things as they are I was honest about it when she asked me. I don't know if she will break up with me. It was just something I said because I'm angry and because something like that happened in one of my past relationships (i.e. a woman not responding for almost two days and then breaking up).

To state the obvious: I didn't mean to "attack" them. I just called them out for disrupting conversations in the past (something which is currently happening in the dedicated thread) and I simply wanted them to stay clear of this place in case it takes off (which I doubt will happen but that's fine). It's not an excuse to express my frustrations. I partly made this thread just because of that. However, I mostly wanted to get some people to come here and post their thoughts and then respond to them. I just don't want to do that in the dedicated thread for reasons I've stated several times. I get your points and after having thought about it some more this thread will disappear very soon (not deleted but it wil vanish deep into the later pages of this board). That's fine. Maybe it would've been a better idea to have another "let's talk about this place" thread and keep things with the "real" NX thread. I think this thread here can be closed. I now think it wasn't a good idea at all and it might backfire.

Well, no matter what it is it apparently is a huge deal for her. No idea whether I'm in a relationship for much longer now or be single soon. Seeing as she doesn't respond to anything I say the latter seems quite likely.

Preface The Other NX Thread might be a bad idea and fail in what I hope to be its “purpose” but I wanted to give it a try. This thread will most likely contain negativity, criticism and worries about Nintendo and their hardware/software. It will include rumours and facts, talks about older consoles and future possibilities. Circular arguments may very well take up a majority of posts in here. A lot of stuff we’ve already read somewhere else will, in all likelihood, be found in this place. Comparisons to other companies (most likely Microsoft and Sony) and other games/consoles will be made and I can see how it might become ugly for either of the three big players. This will also, hopefully, be a place to discuss these matters calmly and rationally, but sometimes emotions will come through because we are passionate about gaming and still hold Nintendo very close to our hearts and want them to play a big part in our hobby again (assuming that Nintendo has lost some of us; a claim that I think isn’t too bold to make). This is NOT a thread for the likes of Ronnie, dazzybee and anyone else who can’t deal with the above. I don’t want to exclude you from the discussion but we’ve all seen that you don’t like what this will be about so I – for the sake of this thread – would like to encourage you to stay out of here. I apologize for dropping names but everybody would know who I mean, anyway, if I was vague about it. I know it’s another thread that might split this community in two but to be honest, it already is split. The problem that keeps arising is how both “parties” try to devalue each other’s opinions/posts and in turn move the conversations/discussions away from what they were meant to be about. With The Other NX Thread I hope that the people who would like to voice their worries and criticism can find a place to do so without being attacked but rather be challenged if someone disagrees. Bringing back people into the conversation who have been driven away by the constant bickering is also something I would love to see. Positivity is obviously welcome, too. Nintendo can provide so many things that make gamers happy it would be a shame to let these slide. tl;dr - a thread about discussing Nintendo’s upcoming hardware/software/anything that will most likely get ugly for the company; leave if you can’t handle this (why didn't I just post something like this in The Other Wii U Thread? I think creating a new thread will take most of the discussions that isn't welcome in the actual, dedicated thread away much better than a post in an already existing one) If admins/mods don't think this is a good idea feel free to close/delete this thread. I would collect rumours/information about the NX that are out there so that we’re all on the same page but I’m too lazy. :p If anybody wants to put some work into it, go ahead. Now, I don’t really want to express my opinions without anything to go on so I most likely won’t post here unless a conversation about certain aspects is already in progress. This might also cause a lack of posts in here if nobody wants to “make the first move” (I don’t think this will be a problem, though). (discussions don’t necessarily have to be about the NX, of course; anything Nintendo related is welcome; maybe even anything about the gaming industry)

Hm, I thought it was much better in the Beta. Adequate HP and I could take two hits without dying. And I was at a lower level than I had been when I beat him in the Alpha Because I used an Axe for 99% of my playtime I usually went with the high stance for immense damage output. I switched it up during the second phase of that particular fight, though. Being able to evade more is valuable than damage.

I didn't voice an opinion, though. I just stated the fact that I don't like them. I even told her that they are good people, it seems... Well, you're right. It's done now and I haven't heard from her in the last 24 hours. I guess it's time for me to apologize? Women...
