Topic: The Chit Chat Thread

@TowaHerschel7 I don't play the 3DS versions but don't they have the advantage of reusing assets (monsters) from previous games? I mean in a sense it's like a sports game where the developers reuse assets from previous games but maybe slightly improving them. MHW is a new game altogether. If Capcom releases MHW2 they could reuse the monsters from the first game as well adding new ones.

In regards to the game be repetitive, I think all loot based games are repetitive. At least with MHW the AI is really good which adds a bit of randomness to the fights.

@WanderingBullet Most, if not all video games are repetitive by their very nature. Some games hide it better than others, and some people can put up with different things to different degrees. I managed to play the main story campaigns of both The Divison and Destiny 2. Not sure if I can be bothered to go back to MWH. I'm not saying it is a bad game or anything, just not for me.

What's up with PS4 discs not fitting in their game case? Whenever I buy a game, unwrap the plastic, and open it, the first thing that happens is the disc falling out. They're never in place

@Octane i noticed that too and not just with PS4 games but also XB1 games and DVD's lately

@Octane This happens to me quite often. I figured it was down to the courier not handling the parcel with care during shipping.

@Octane I don’t have this happen much, but I have opened up the case to find a cracked disc before. 🙁

@Kidfried @FullbringIchigo @WanderingBullet Good to know I'm not the only one experiencing this. I'm always worried about scratching the discs, so far they've arrived fine. Whoever is packaging these things, they seem to just throw 'em in and close the case. I've never gotten one that was stuck to the little nub or whatever that thing is called. It's so weird!

@Th3solution Maybe it's a Europe thing?

But a cracked disc? That one is new to me as well! How did that happen? What game was it?

Never had a disc come locked in place.

Now carts? They aint moving even if you throw it.

Never had a cracked disc though

@Octane It was Detroit. Just a crack in the middle of the disc, so it may have functioned okay, but I didn’t even try it. I marched it right back to the store. On closer inspection of the case it was a little bent as if it had been sat on or had something heavy placed on it. (It goes to show that steelbook cases are so much better protection) The store exchanged it with no questions asked. I’m pretty obsessive about my discs and cases. I like them to be pretty, not just functional.

When you decide to try out the adult site filter on your phone, but it haphazardly blocks Pushsquare...

So I discovered today that when I use my kitchen sink my neighbor below me kitchen floods. Apperarently a pipe is busted or something in the wall so water coming pouring out of her electric sockets and such. Tomorrow maintenance is going to cut into the wall to check it out.

@Tasuki Man, that’s rough! At least for them below. It all depend if you actually like your neighbor or not as to whether you stop using your kitchen sink, or just keep it running 😂

I'd leave it running. Nothing like pneumonia to start your day.

Though the fact it's coming from the sockets is worrying. The pronlem with flats is anything above affects below.

@Jaz007 that's nothing, my mate was at the job center last week (he's looking for a new job) and the blocker software they have there blocked the government job search site

and apparently they ain't allowed to mess around with the computers there so they can't fix it

I got a flat tire, three minutes away from home......

I guess I’m just slow, but I only now noticed we can now downvote comments in the articles on the site. I suppose this is a relatively new addition. Not sure how I feel about this function. 🤔

@Kidfried I suppose it may be a slight deterrent for a user to post an offensive comment, but it also runs the risk of just creating animosity amongst what has typically been a wonderful, respectful, mature, and well-behaved user base. (In comparison to most sites out there). People are certainly using the function in the discussion about Sony censorship.
It also makes me think twice before posting since I don’t know if my ego can handle getting downvoted. 😂. But perhaps that’s the point.

@Kidfried @Th3solution It seems you cannot see down votes on your own comment (and I thought everyone just liked my comments!). Anything above 5 is displayed as '5+'. Ant said it's still a secret how it works and how it will be implemented. The site doesn't automatically flag heavily down voted comments either. No idea what the purpose is though, but I'm sure Ant has some kind of master plan

Not a fan of the downvote feature. I feel like it limits conversation.
Just because something is an unpopular opinion/comment doesn’t make the it any more invalid.
