There's no way I'm wrong.

Nonono, I'm right.  

I do need the help of a thesaurus, though. Gonna put the explanation in a spoiler, just in case:

Spoiler

There are two pictures/drawings in each room (or rather in each space of the blue print for the manor).

I have to figure out certain word pairs. For example:

Drawing 1: a card: Queen - or "Face"
Drawing 2: a card: Ace

There's a clue (or rather the solution) I found, that tells me to figure out a letter that is "extra" in one of the word pairings. In this case "F".

Now I found another pair:

Drawing 1: hands with prayer beads
Drawing 2: a crowbar

Had to look up synonyms for crowbar, because otherwise it wouldn't make sense (and because I didn't know any synonym for that )
"Pray" and "Pry" - so the extra letter is "A"

 

So yeah. Not ashamed to use an online thesaurus for this one. Gotta figure out 44 of those letters  

[drahkon]

This game is ridiculous.

Reached what triggered the credits again. This time...no credits but more clues.
MORE CLUES!

BUT I NEED EVEN MORE CLUES!

There's so much I need to figure out, I have so many threads going on...it's crazy

Sorry, Baldur's Gate 3, your endgame needs to wait  

[drahkon]

I'm a genius.

That's all I have to say.

(I did have to look up one puzzle solution, though - it's a word I've never heard before and I just couldn't figure it out with the clues given; it's becoming a bit of a theme for me, sadly. Id sai my english is quiet gut, butt i am reeching my limits )

I see Sony have now jacked up the price of PS+ by an extra $30 over in Canada. Are they just putting prices up everywhere EXCEPT the US?

They've been doing that all generation.  The US is the only region where they haven't been upping the price of the console since launch, and the only region that has maintained its initial launch price.

They are deathly afraid of increasing the US price, and are happy to rip off the rest of the world instead; probably because it's the only region where Xbox puts up some semblance of competition.

Lot of people are believing this latest price increase is to counter the tariffs President Trump is pushing across the world.  I get it, but seriously please increase the US prices as well.

I know i'm thinking optimistically, but maybe the latest increases may push people towards purchasing an Xbox (or a device that can play Xbox) as prices have not gone up as much (or as often) as of yet.

Platinum was a lot easier than getting 100% trophies on the PS4 release. It only required one play through.

Sounds nice.
I'm looking for a shorter game to play over the weekend before I go on vacation.

Any trophies to look out for with this one?

All of them are straight forward. You need 2 controllers for the mini games though. 

When it comes to buying stuff in the shop, make sure to create a save before you spend anything. You don't make enough in a single playthrough to buy everything you need for the trophies.

Removing 1st party games from the service never sits right with me, especially ones as old as Second Son. What's the point? It's not as if they are need to pay for license fees or anything like that. They flat out own the game.

Don't give them ideas. Saying that, I would love a remaster of the first 2 games. When upgrading older games they should really concentrate on getting those stuck on the PS3 on to modern platforms.

inFamous Part I and inFamous Part II before Remastered versions of both incoming

The number of games that they're willing to leave in squalor on the PS3 (PS3 exclusives or the remasters of PS2 games) is one of their more confusing moves for me. ICO, inFamous and inFamous 2, the Resistance Trilogy, the God of War games...the list goes on and on.

Which reminds me, it's been a minute since I last boosted up my PS3...

I know there's an audience for the PS5 remasters of some PS4 games - depending on the game, I can count myself as one of them - but I seriously hope there's more of a concerted effort to update those games stuck on PS3 to be played on PS5. I know architecturally why it's not the easiest thing in the world, but that they're quickly running out of PS4 games to remaster (WHERE IS BLOODBORNE YOU BASTARDS?!) and given the recent reception to all the cameos in Astro Bot, I do hope that their attention turns to getting some of that back catalogue readily available (natively) on PS5 in some form. 

Fingers crossed and hope for the best I guess 

[Hero-of-Time]

The Resistance trilogy is a set of games I would love to see be remastered. The 1st and 3rd games were amazing. They dropped the ball with the second. Not a bad game but doesn't reach the highs of the others. Online was fun though.
