@Snick27 Yeah, why can't post apocalyptic tribal girls do some basic upkeep? Maybe an eyebrow pluck or a trip to the salon? Hasn't Aloy ever heard of makeup tattoos?
I didn't have trouble upgrading from my disc, but I would love a trophy transfer. I'm halfway through a second playthrough, and I am not going back to repop all of my previous trophies for a plat. I do hate having to leave the PS4 version installed because it automatically reinstalls with the disc, but that one is on Sony.
Fantastic game. Even though I've been through it twice and gotten the Plat, I wouldn't mind another run. I'll pick up a digital copy once it drops to $20. Can't wait for 2.
Oh man, I'm a total Disney nerd, so I was excited about this for about 5 minutes. Then I saw F2P. And Gameloft. Sigh. Can we just have Disney Infinity back without the oversaturated toy angle?
@Uncharted2007 She's a multibillionaire, and will continue to be, and is involved in nearly everything HP related, and collects royalties from all of it. She's fine. And free speech doesn't mean being free from any consequences, or that people can't respond, actively disagree or boycott. Those are all forms of free speech as well.
I just started San Andreas via Game Pass on my Series X, and some things seem better than I expected while others seem worse. No major glitches or frame rate drops as of yet. This guy seems pretty clueless though.
@Olmaz I was into Lost in Random at first, but the combat absolutely dragged it down. Doing damage took forever and enemies kept spawning long past my breaking point. The world and setup were on point though.
Tough competition on this one. True Colors was lovely, with characters I truly cared about and some absolute gut-punch scenes, helped along by Alex's fantastic expressiveness. Guardians of the Galaxy nailed the group dynamic. Not just the comedy, but the in-fighting and the bonding. The story was unexpectedly great, and I actually preferred this version of the group to the MCU's take. And then there's Disco Elysium, which I just started a few days ago. What do you even say about that one? What an absolute trip.
I'm absolutely willing to give this a shot. I'm just looking for a couple of hours of fun and adventure. It doesn't have to be Lawrence of Arabia. I find Holland likeable and Wahlberg hit-or-miss, though the lack of a 'stache is killing me. As for the poster, it's not great, but miles better than the typical floating-photoshopped-heads crap studios usually release.
@PhantomMenace84 Man, I absolutely dig him as a person as well. I suppose I can see if your political ideas don't line up, but I find him an absolute joy.
Shockingly, Guardians of the Galaxy was my GOTY. I was expecting it to be a good time, but I didn't know it was going to look and sound so good and that the story would hit so hard. I honestly liked this version of the group better than the MCU.
Unpopular opinion, I guess, but I thought Infinite was far and away the best of the trilogy. Neither 1 or 2 held my interest all the way through (plus I'm not big on horror games). I'd love a new one, but the past works of the dev team aren't exactly inspiring.
I hit just a few minor bugs on my playthrough (including the obnoxious Fully Loaded trophy glitch), but it was a surprisingly overall smooth experience. Just a fantastic game in general.
There's no way this thing isn't a train wreck at this point. Which is a shame, because the original was flawed but still great and I was looking forward to a new take.
Not to be pessimistic, but this is never coming out, and if by some miracle it did, it wouldn't be worth the wait. I lied, that was totally pessimistic.
@The_Moose I assume it's still him, you just have no previous relationship with him. More like, "Hey, I remember you from C-Sec a while back before I was dead. What the heck happened to you?"
Awesome. I really enjoyed the first one, even if at times it could accurately be retitled Powerline Simulator. This sounds even better, so I'm in. My excitement level is at 5/5 Goldblums. 👍😁
I was initially looking forward to this, but the ruleset, components and the way the campaign is being run hasn't impressed me. I think I'll skip it. The upcoming Wolfenstein board game, which you can still late pledge for, looks absolutely fantastic however.
@ShogunRok I did. I purchased the PS4 version last week when the sale dropped, then downloaded the PS5 version yesterday. A quick Google search tells me that there was a trophy bug that affected the PS4 version when it first released, but it was patched. I guess it's reappeared with the upgrade.
@ShogunRok I started playing this yesterday on PS5 and popped 5-6 trophies. None of them registered. The game doesn't even show on my trophy list. Did you have any similar issues? (Other than that, fun game and worth the sale price.)
@ATaco Indeed, Black Friday is what I'm waiting for at this point. I'm hoping to clean up the stragglers I've yet to pick up from the past year or so. I doubt I'll even look at any other sales before then.
What a terrible move. Grinding was already glacial before the patch that slowed it even further. They're not even trying to hide the fact that this was their plan all along. So gross.

Re: Horizon Forbidden West: Is It Good on PS4?
@StonyKL Rechargeable battery packs for Xbox controllers usually run about $10. It's easier and much cheaper in the long run.

Re: Movie Review: Uncharted - Glossy Green Screen Spectacle Isn’t Sure Who It's For
Sounds like what I expected. It'll be a decent way to pass a couple of hours about four months from now when I can stream it.

Re: PS5 Firmware Update Beta Launches Tomorrow, Upgrades Parties And Lets You Pin Games
The pin is welcome, as is sorting by genre, but I really just want my folders back, please and thank you.

Re: PS5's Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League Has Allegedly Been Delayed Until 2023
Jason's usually got it right, so I would put money on this.
Re: Mortal Kombat 12 Seemingly Confirmed in Staged Social Media Snap
I like MK and love Injustice, but I would absolutely lose my mind over a NetherRealm Marvel game. I was really hoping the rumors were true.
Re: PS Plus February 2022 PS5, PS4 Games Announced
Of course, I already own Planet Coaster. 🙄 Another bust for me.
Re: Interview: Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin Devs Talk Inspiration, Difficulty Options, Chaos Memes, and More
TIL this game has a Story difficulty mode, so it is back on my radar.
Re: LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga Finally Lands on PS5, PS4 in April
@Palleon This is a completely new game, on a new engine with new mechanics, plus content from films that didn't get adaptations.
Re: LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga Finally Lands on PS5, PS4 in April
Not going to lie, this is my most anticipated release of the year. I am one with the Force and the Force is with me.

Re: Rumour: Uncharted May Be Getting a LEGO Set Soon
@Ashpip The Batman has new sets coming out, based on a dark PG-13 movie with a lot of guns in the trailer and a plot revolving around a serial killer.
Re: Poll: How Would You Rate PS Plus in 2021?
Control was the only PS Plus game that I played through last year that I didn't already own. So, not a great showing for me personally.

@Cherip-the-Ripper It's, you guessed it...Frank Stallone.
Re: Sony Reveals Uncharted Movie Poster

Re: Rumour: Assassin's Creed Valhalla 'Dawn of Ragnarok' Expansion Leaks Ahead of Live Reveal
The Asgard Arc was nearly a game-killer for me during Valhalla, so I'm not touching this.
Re: Mini Review: Twelve Minutes (PS5) - Weird Twist Spoils an Otherwise Intriguing Story
This thing feels like such an oddity that I'll probably pick it up on a deep discount one day.
Re: Life Is Strange: True Colors Dev Adapting The Expanse for Telltale Games
I'm a huge fan of both The Expanse and True Colors so this is an absolute win for me. I can't wait to learn more about it.
Re: New PS Store Sale Live Now, Contains The Game Awards Nominees
Still nothing in the US. Sales are usually up by now.

Re: The Last of Us HBO Show Changes Bill Casting to Nick Offerman
@Jayofmaya Give it another chance but skip Season 1. The rest is liquid gold.
I'd listen to Offerman's dulcet tones say anything at anytime.

Re: Rumour: Assassin's Creed Valhalla Gets Surprise DLC This Month, 2022 Expansion Is 40 Hours Long
It's just going to be a 40 hour add-on to the Asgard Arc. 😱
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 405
Kingdom Hearts II, while also progressing a bit more through both AC Valhalla and Immortals Fenyx Rising.
Re: Movie Review: Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City - Reshuffled Reboot Misses the Mark
@SoulsBourne128 Oh man, if only Wes Anderson made a Resident Evil movie. Starring Jason Schwartzman, Bill Murray and Tilda Swinton. So, so weird.
Paul W.S. Anderson is who you mean.

Efffffff you.
Re: Would You Kindly Read This Rumour About BioShock Isolation?

Re: Mobster XCOM Empire of Sin Makes It Count with Massive Content Drop
Ok, but is it still totally broken?
Re: Rumour: PS Plus December 2021 PS5, PS4 Games Leaked Early
Godfall is a bore, I don't do Soulsbornes, and I already went through Supervillains with my kid. Maybe next month...
