I'm competing in the 2X platinum race but haven't booted it up yet. Lol.

I played Sly 2 last night instead to finish it up, now I can sell my PS3 collection copy and play 3 and thieves on the Vita. That last jumping section of Sly 2 took me way longer than it should have...it sucked. It was really just one stupid platform that I kept missing, hate shit like that.

EA Access is adding Need for Speed Rivals to "the vault".

Still don't get why this isn't available on PS4.

...seriously? Sony addressed it and they were right on IMO.

“We evaluated the EA Access subscription offering and decided that it does not bring the kind of value PlayStation customers have come to expect,” a Sony representative told us via email. “PlayStation Plus memberships are up more than 200% since the launch of PlayStation 4, which shows that gamers are looking for memberships that offer a multitude of services, across various devices, for one low price. We don’t think asking our fans to pay an additional $5 a month for this EA-specific program represents good value to the PlayStation gamer.”

If any of you playing Deadly Premonition are interested, I think I still have the list I made of when to do each side mission so you don't have to replay any chapters if you want the plat. It's easy enough to sit down and figure it out and doesn't take very long, just thought I would mention it.

Would you mind sending me a copy of that list? It would be nice to have when I go for the plat.

I don't get why Sony thinks that is their decision to make.

And it's because they don't want it competing with Plus, regardless of what their PR says. And it's dumb. I would pay $5 for access to Rivals and Peggle 2 for a month and get my fill of them and then wait for another 6-12 months when a few new games are added and pay the $5 again.

Someone in this thread pointed out that obviously PS+ subscriptions have risen since the PS4's launch--you need it to play online. :roll:

That doesn't make the rest of the statement invalid, especially when you consider that "The Vault" is paying $5 a month for the ability to play new early-access games for 6 hours and then get 10% off the purchase price. Oh, and you get access to a few older games. Very few older games and at a much higher per-game price than PS+ offers. It's just a bad deal all around.

I'm sure that's part of it. It's also the fact that this EA thing succeeding means that EA is less likely to put their games on PS+, or will charge Sony more to do it...and that's not a good trend to get started with because then all of a sudden we've got HBO-style gaming subscription services we can "upgrade" to above our normal PS+ stuff. I don't want to see that happen. It would suck ass.

 
Guys, we just bought a pellet stove for the house. We weren't replacing an old one though so I'm not sure if it's worthy of a Tyler like appliance story. But basically it cost us $1900.

Oh and we bought a microwave with it because our old one crapped out. Pics to follow when we have both set up.

A pellet stove? Do you live in the 1800s?

What the hell is a pellet stove?

Our house is huge as fuck, so it takes a ton of oil to heat. Last year alone, we spent almost $4000 on just oil. A pellet stove lets you burn little wood pellets to give heat through the house. Then you set your thermostat to something like 50 degrees, and you only burn oil on super cold nights. We also got three tons of pellets for $950, which will last us almost the entire winter. So basically the stove will pay itself off in a couple years.

Plus it increases the cost of the home because it helps make your house more heat efficient.

People can use oil to heat their house?

Good idea. I didn't know if enough people cared, but I'll try and get it posted here tonight.

I am not sure why you went through all that effort instead of just using the gamefaqs guide. Glad you enjoyed the game though, and I am glad to see more people here giving it a shot. I can't wait for more "WTF did you guys talk me into playing" posts.

Didn't Borderland Pre-Sequel originally get announced to have a budget price or something like that?

A Gearbox game releasing at a budget price?

This is me too Pete. It's more of an "if" I platinum it more than a "when".

Plus I got sidetracked all last night and never made it past level 35. So I'm way behind a lot of people here now, plus I won't be home til about 7pm tonight.

Damn, still in lvl 15 or 16 (All Perfect).

It was much easier to do that than to read that guide word for word, or flipping through the side mission guide since they're not in chronological order. I wanted to enjoy the game without having to continuously look down at a guide. 10-15 min of sitting down and mapping it all out was the much better option in my opinion.

Is anyone here picking up (or has anyone already picked up) Under Defeat from PSN? It looks somewhat interesting as a shmup, and the $3 price point isn't too objectionable.

Vigilante said:
Yeah, I think if I had to choose to spend $3 on either Under Defeat or the Critical Urgency Pack for 2X, I'd go with the latter. :D/

So you passed on Mamorukun Curse because it was a difficult platinum. Now there's a shmup thats not difficult and an easy platinum and you want to pass. Don't be so cheap and pick up a PSN card with all that credit and buy both. If you can only buy 1 then, buy the game on sale and pickup the DLC after you get the platinum since it'll be full price.

Level 30 is harder than Level 50 in the original ever will be.

I am glad you guys are around to tell me this stuff. I now know not to waste too much time retrying earlier levels for perfect ratings. I didnt bother perfecting all levels in the original either. At a certain point I get really tired doing the same level over and over again. Glad to know up front I wont even have the talent to perfect it anyway.
