I love St Pancras station and might just get it for that 😹

I grabbed Train Sim World 2 for $16.49!

I know people are upset about their upgrade path and that’s fair. But honestly? If you don’t like what they’ve done don’t buy it. They did what they felt was right for them, financially. I wish it were a free upgrade and I wish season pass owners at the least got the upgrade for free. But that’s not the world we live in. So again, if you don’t like it, that’s okay. Move on. Instead a very vocal subsection of gamers get all whipped up over what essentially boils down to a SKU.

I loved the game on my Pro, and while I should have gotten the Ultimate edition on sale recently, I had to wait. I’ll be happy to buy this on sale for $20 down the line, especially as I’m not a season pass holder. Control was easily one of my favorite games of last year and I can’t wait to play the PS5 version.

I had a very fun time with this game and I can’t wait to play the PS5 version down the line! Hopefully there’s a new platinum involved. 😹

This sounds perfect for me right now. I need something short and beautiful.

I do wish reviews mentioned pricing and availability.

Done. Day one buy for me, no hesitation. I’ll keep the tissues nearby.

That spooky pack is right up my alley. I’ve wanted to design my own dark ride since I was a kid. My only concern is the number of assets. Would I basically just be able to recreate what I see in the trailer? That’s my question.

@Turbodream Thank you kindly!

When is this being released and what will it cost?

Wasn’t last December’s selection crap as well? Or am I thinking of January?

Is this the same sale that’s been going since last Friday? Have they added new stuff?

I try my absolute best to never wish ill on anyone, but these people are making that hard.

Haha that’s great. If I had that glitch I wouldn’t fight it.

@Gatatog I was thinking the same thing! I wish the trophies didn’t auto-pop. Just means I’ll start from scratch, which is fine by me. It’s a linear game, it’s not like a Dragon Age save or something.

@godscoper Well, Sony cares. Every major PS4 patch included new ways to try and stop save editing. They don’t want their garden walled MP environment messed up by people using cheats. Now, I’ve been using cheats since the various Game Genie, the various Game Sharks, and now the various Save Wizards. I’m bummed that on PS5 I won’t be able to play single player games that I’ve purchased the way I choose to play them. I hope that they reverse course on this decision, which they may eventually do, according to an article I just saw on another site. Fingers crossed.

@HotGoomba___Rebrand **high five**

I’m referring to Miles. It wasn’t showing up as purchased on my PS4, but it’s since shown up.

@Medic_Alert My guess? Sony has been trying to shut down save editing for many years. This allows them to do it.

@Bad-MuthaAdebisi I was just making a joke—on the first PS if you popped Ridge Racer in and let it load to the title screen, that was actually the only loading in the game. Because of this, and the fact that the game’s soundtrack songs were in normal CD format on the PS disc, you could take out Ridge Racer and put in any music CD.

The real catch though was that the game was looking for specific time stamps, not track numbers. So some CDs worked better than others as the times of the songs would match up better. Sometimes you’d queue up track 3 expecting a rocking track, then the race starts and it plays the last eight seconds of the song, then you race in silence until the finish line. I had a collection of CDs that matched up well and knew what track numbers synced up the best. Gotta have your rockin tunes when you’re up against the black car!

That’s all fine and well, but can I put in a copy of Ridge Racer, let it load, and then take the disc out and put in a music CD?

@get2sammyb Thanks! I see that neither edition has been on sale since it’s August launch, so I’m sure they’ll serve up a bargain on BF/CM. I’m keeping an eye out!

@get2sammyb I’m very, very interested in this series. I’ve never played it and am overwhelmed by the various versions of the game, expansions, and honestly I don’t know the difference between 2 and 2020. Is there a clear starting point you’d recommend?

I bought the PS5 digital version which said it came with the PS4 version, but I’m not seeing “purchased” on the PS4 version. Hmmm. I was going to plat the PS4 version right away as I don’t know when I’ll be able to get my hands on a PS5.

@ShogunRok It’s basically the Guyver, Spidey-style, and I’m okay with that. 😹👍

Thanks to their awful non-rollout, I’ve resigned myself to the fact that I’ll be lucky to get one by January or Feb.

@GHockey Thanks for the tip! That worked! I went through the US store and found it from there. Odd that they don't have it listed in the store proper, seems like they'd be missing out on a lot of extra money by hiding the "ultimate" edition. Well, preorder is IN! I wasn't able to get a PS5 preorder so I'll likely end up platting this game on PS4 by the time I get the PS5. Hahaha

I still find it odd that I can’t buy the ultimate version of this game (with the remastered first game) on PSN. Looks like it’s only available physically. Especially weird as the physical version just comes with a voucher for a digital version of the remaster. Huh.

@Sissyrobyn996 Obviously I hope you are correct. Microsoft has given what are likely to be intentionally vague statements on the matter in regard to Bethesda exclusivity.

@__jamiie I really don’t know why people are trying to turn my comments into fanboy flame war crap. I just pointed out that M$ realized they didn’t have games, so they started buying up publishers to ensure that they do.

I’ve never owned nor will I ever own a M$ console, and I’ve bought every PlayStation within the launch window. Why people are trying to paint me into the green corner here I don’t know.

@Iroha They own Bethesda AND Obsidian. If those two work together on a Fallout game, yes, I believe it will be incredible.

@artemisthemp Well they now have Obsidian AND Bethesda so I have a feeling Fallout 5 is going be the best entry in the series. We’ll see!

They didn’t have games so they just started buying all the game developers.

Just downloaded an 867 MB patch, version 1.03. Doesn’t seem to address performance issues.

-Fixed bug in The Burbs level that could possibly break the level Logic causing a poor player experience.
-Fixed bug in Washed Away level where the player could get stuck walking under the railroad bridge to access the dog encounter area.
-Fixed music stuttering in The Burbs level.
-Fixed combat audio phasing in Downtown and The Kommander levels.

For what it’s worth I’m an hour or so in and I’ve only run into one minor issue. I thought a break in two bushes might be a path to a hidden area but I just got stuck between them. Haha. When I paused and unpaused the game I was free.

I’m really enjoying this game for what it is. I’m hoping it’s not too long though. I could see it overstaying it’s welcome if it passes the eight hour mark. I’d prefer five to six, honestly. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, I think shorter indie games are ideal a good deal of the time.

Edit: Just want to reiterate that the references are a lot of fun. Return of the Loving Dead, Phantasm, Twin Peaks, even Goonies. If you’re a fan of horror, especially from the 80’s, I do think this game is worth your time.

Such a shame, considering how much time and money they had. I backed this game on Kickstarter back in 2014! Then it was picked up by adult swim games as a publisher if I recall? Anyway, I’m still looking forward to playing this whenever my copy is sent.

Looks like I’m going to have to bite the bullet and get a gaming PC at some point.

@TheIdleCritic Maybe? Haha I’m not sure, I’ve only ever lived in the States. Moving to the UK next year though, so maybe I’ll have to bone up. Haha

@TheIdleCritic I see where your logic is coming from, but this is a contest, not a lottery.

They have limited resources, so they choose to focus on the platform with a smaller install base. Makes sense.

Two problems with the Impossible Whopper; they’re cooked on the same grill as the meat, and Impossible tested on animals to make its product.

I’m sure there’s a way to enter without purchase (by law there has to be) so I’ll be looking for that!

FINALLY!!! When I’m finally able to order one, and when I receive it next March...

@Agricultural Joke all you want, Skyrim is one of my absolute favorite games and I’d happily pay for it again and again if they had something new to offer each time.

That’s a great price! Makes me wish I still bought physical games.

Built from the ground up? That implies they literally made two unique versions of the game, which obviously isn’t the case. Watching the trailers for these games I did feel they looked more like PS4.5 games, now I know why.

Instant pre-order for me. S-M was one of the best games of the previous generation and I can’t wait to get some more.

The trailer started with a tar surface with puddles and I immediately said out loud “is this a new DMC?”

I hope the chips they deem okay are actually, well, okay. I’d hate to see headlines like “over one in four PS5’s defective”.

@Octane "It's the best script I've ever read. It's important to note that since I've mostly been in Marvel films it's actually the only script I've read, but still."

I remember when the trailer for this launched. I thought "Oh look, a cute platformer! I might grab this when it comes out uh-- is that an Uzi? Why does the monkey have to bust caps in asses?"

Such a weird juxtaposed mess. I'd love to have been a fly on the wall for the pitch meeting.

Creative: "So you play as this cute tamarin--"
Exec: "A what?!?"
Creative: "Exactly! No one knew what an echidna was before Knuckles."
Exec: "I still don't. Let's wrap this up."
Creative: "A tamarin is a cute monkey. The game is a cute N64-style platformer where you save your animal kingdom or whatever from evil giant ants."
Exec: "Are there guns?"
Creative: "No, why would there be--"
Exec: "Give the monkey an Uzi and we'll greenlight it."
Creative: Sigh

If it’s $15 or less, I’ll buy it right away. I spent many an hour with this game on PS3!

The trailer itself... I mean, they were willing to swing with all their weight which I can appreciate. When you do that and you miss, you miss hard and it’s embarrassing.

The game itself looks like a generic mobile game. So, two swings, two misses for me.

Toys R Us had a deal where if you traded in some Genesis or SNES games (I believe it was 10), you could get a PlayStation or a Saturn for $99. I gathered up all the games I was willing to let go of, and only had eight. They had a list of games that didn’t qualify for this, so I took that list and went to yard sales and flea markets until I found two games for less than $5 each that weren’t on the no-no list. And that’s how I got my PS. Saving up for that first memory card, now that was tough.
