I just bought a ps4 and that game for 20 bucks. It's scary at night I keep jumping. -

2018-08-21 at 7:43 AM UTCDid you know "The Following" is actually an expansion of the old "Dying Light" game? Kind of weird to think you only got the expansion.

You should get Playstation+ and buy Destiny 2. Then i will Fax you my gamertag, and we will go into a custom game together. Where i will proceed to murder you over and over until you perform fellatio on my in game character, with your in game character of course. No homo. -

In due time. I have to get internet reconnected before anything. Right now I just tether through straight talk which clearly won't handle online gaming. -
2018-08-22 at 5:01 AM UTCI thought about getting The Following. The base game was fucking stupid on so many levels, I hated _every_ character that got a single line, the durability mechanics were cancer, the plot was a moronic sequence of macguffins, the stealth sequences resolved to "spam q and watch patterns", the "oh no we're running out of anti-zombie-meds" like was the stupidest plot device since you could never, no matter what you do, actually run out of said med AND YET there was something really damn fun about it. Progressing from having to play hella skittish and running for the window as soon as you hear a noise in the beginning of the game to being able to grab-and-run through difficult areas, to becoming a fire/lightning scimitar avatar of re-de-animation was satisfying. It was poor horror but the difficulty of the early night missions was enough to create some real shit-your-pants moments the first time you have to go through a tunnel, when those sprinty niggas show up, or any time you enter a confined space.
The skill balancing was really jank as only like 20% of them were really worth a shit, but when you got one of those 20% it was awesome. I remember spending like 3 days blowing off the game's quests just dropkicking zombie nigs into (completely unexplained) spiky shit for exp. I also distinctly remember the first time I survived a night outside by running out of a safe zone, dropkicking the a night zombie off a roof, and booking it back for like half an hour, then slowly working up to moving further out, taking more risks, eventually being able to move between safezones. It was a really satisfying formula for some reason.
It's a great example of a game that managed to do almost everything wrong but still somehow created a really satisfying gameplay loop that salvaged the game.

have you tried it yet? i played co-op callerduty world war, online with my friend on his ps4 wifi tethered with pdanet. the frustrating thing was it seems like i had to go thru the network setup each and every time i wanted to play after the hotspot had been off?? ps4 thing i guess. anyway my phone had a good signal and it seemed to work well enough.
try it and see what ping you can get. other than how they push these huge shitty system updates and game updates all the time, actual gameplay usually doesn't need all that much bandwidth -
2018-08-22 at 3:32 PM UTCAre people still playing dest2? I played it at release with friends and it was an unfun slog to the end for me. There were like a grand total of three enemy types, playing well was just managing cooldown timers, and the scaling system made every gun feel OK for like 5 minutes and a bbgun where you just had to lean on left mouse for like 30 seconds while tracking a predictably moving enemy thereafter

I only played the first one and it was so incredibly shit, just fucking grinding and not fun on a girls yoga pants grinding either.
I didn't play with friends though so maybe that hurt it but I still can't see why anyone would want the second after they fucked everyone on the first promising the entire solar system and all
Always wanted to play Dying Light, seemed like one you could just spend hours on sneaking about and cutting zombies up, like the first Dead Rising where you could just fuck about all day, I can't run it though cause my comp is garbo.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2018-08-22 at 5:27 PM UTCYeah, I'd actaully recommend it despite the above complaints. Perfectly reasonable to play on console as it's not really a game where you need PC controls and the graphics are OK but not anything to write home over.

Welp I still can't run it, no console, I've been playing older games instead of new ones, Stalker, oblivion, some of the cods, shogun 2 and I'm gonna download Thief gold pretty soon too.
Being years behind is pretty cheap and still fun cause I still get to see improvements.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2018-08-22 at 9:44 PM UTCYee, I lived on the "4-8 years behind release" gaming train for most of my childhood. Not a bad way to do thing, it is definitely economical and you can avoid hyped-to-hell dud releases. Probably the main reason I continue to refresh hardware periodically is to be able to play games with friends but if you don't do that or your friends will stay in the stone age with you then there's not much of a down side.
When I go to my grandparents place sometimes I dig out my old PC and play a game of Rome:TW. Still as fun today as it was back then. -

Only game I've played with a friend is Don't starve together and it was great fun, they were so much better at it than me which was nice cause I got the game for them, but I'm more a solo player in general and not everyone does want to play the games that I do, would download L4D2 but it's fucking massive and I've limited data so it'd take a big ol chunk of it, what would be wrong with steam printing a disk for me?
Just sucks with DaS3 and Nioh having came out and desperately wanting to play them but not being able to, there's only so much that restarting every time I die in DaS can do, want to play the shadow warrior remakes too(as well as the viscera cleanup bit) -
2018-08-23 at 2:40 AM UTCWith how fast games devalue nowadays, 6-8 months and get a title for half off or wait 18 months or less sometimes and get it for 15 bucks. I'm talking AAA games too (not Nintendo obviously).
I'm glad I got a 3DS because it's nice to play something "right there in your hands" before bed after a busy day, and to have lots of cheap new and old Nintendo titles all at your fingertips.
I'm planning to get a Switch by the time Smash comes out though, so I can challenge Lanney in a wholesome new way.
Not of the mind,
But of the spirit.
Depending on how the screen is (I don't expect to play on that tablet much), I'll may get a mid grade 4K TV. I can't get a definitive answer on whether 4K is really better than a decked out 1080P TV or not though... I want something with a good true refresh rate, which seems to be the number one factor in determining a TV's price unfortunately. -

Bring it braj. Do you play melee? If so I can go ahead and assert my big dick/big sword marth dominance right now.Depending on how the screen is (I don't expect to play on that tablet much), I'll may get a mid grade 4K TV.

The switch display is nice, coming from the 3DS it's incredible, and it's totally usable on the go but I preferred a TV while at home. I'm the pickiest motherfucker you'll ever meet when it comes to displays, but insofar as TVs are different from computer monitors I don't really know anything about them. "Mid grade 4K TV" is pretty much exactly what I have, when I have good 4K content I'd say it's totally worth it but that's not super common these days (obviously that's changing, although at what rate who knows). I wouldn't pay too much attention to refresh rate as almost anything you plug into a TV aren't going to be putting out more than 60fps. I play PC games on a 144hz display and while I can see _a_ difference it would be like the first thing I would cut if I was trying to bring down the cost of a build. I took a display with not great latency which in retrospect I might regret if I get very competitive with ultimate, but I've never been much of a reaction based player anyway and it saved a significant number of bucks.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Best part of late elementary!
Not on PC, I imagine it requires dolphin emu or something of that claiber which is just not possible for the laptops I have.

Seeing as how expensive OLED and QLED are (which is just Samsung shtick), I'm not worried about missing out on somewhat better lighting. TCL from what I've read makes TVs of comparble quality for a lot less money, and I found pretty much what I'm looking for for a good price, but I read the reviews and they seem to have a lot of vertical banding issues. I'll probably move before I get a new one though.
