Wolfenstien New Order is worth it for sure. 

Oh and Super Star Wars and Deadpool PS4 sound good.  When on sale next year!  BOOM!

Is Deadpool PS4 an upgraded version?

 
For anyone that has received their visa checkout best buy code, are their restrictions on it? Do you think I could use it on a GCU membership?

If by "upgraded version" you mean "most likely barely-upscaled graphics with a separate trophy list", then yes!

It's a remaster of the PS3 game, yeah. I can't find a single thing listing what's different from the PS3 version, but remember that Activision's last PS3->PS4 adaptation was Prototype 2 which apparently was a poor job.

 
Awesome, definitely in for Lego Dimensions now.

Considering: The Evil Within, Far Cry 4, Bloodborne, Until Dawn, FFX/X2

Updated bby list definitely just knocked any walmart plans off the list other than maybe transformers. But I might just make my own deal on that one with the $20 bby visa money if that ever comes thorugh.

Evolve is all about the DLC you have to buy to make it a complete game, right?
Click to expand...
Yeah, the base game only has like 2-3 of the monsters IIRC. Not sure about the PSN version, but Steam shows 35 pieces of DLC, 1/3 negative reviews from 15k users, and 77 metacritic. It did okay for users at launch, but dropped pretty quickly. Steam shows 359 users currently in-game, but I'm not sure how the numbers compare for PSN. Is there any way to tell community activity for PSN titles?

dammit I waited too long to join the crew. stupid blood bowl! is it hard to find pickup games with 4 people? I just want to make sure I don't miss that stupid trophy in case the game hooks me. I'll get it started tonight and look for folks.

My PS4 is wired and for Remote Play I am *not* using direct connect, rather going through my wireless router.
Click to expand...
I've only done wireless (with and without a wireless repeater) and the only thing that matters is how close it and the vita are to the router. neither one has super powered wireless. right now I'd say my ps4 is ~25ft and one wood wall away from the router and where I sit is probably 15ft and the same wall and it works perfectly.

Resident Evil Revelations Deluxe Edition? huh? Super Star Wars will be the most regret I have ever felt buying something on day one. It will not hold up well I'm sure. But it's on vita! Playing snes games on vita with trophies borders on arousing.

Evolve sure is racing to the bottom. Has anybody in here even bothered to play it?
Click to expand...
velo played it I'm pretty sure. I've watched a bunch of matches and it looks fun but it 100% requires other people that you communicate with, otherwise it'd just be painful and unfun (unless there's a way to be the monster every time I guess).

I definitely wish I had GCU now. Still not worth it just for one purchase though.

You're technically only paying $15 for GCU if you buy Lego Dimensions with the discount because that saves you $15 right there. Add one more full price game and blamo, pays for itself.

I already used mine on a $20 PSN card I'll pick up tonight. It'd be fantastic to get another one, though. Hopefully they just blindly send replacements out to everybody.

 
There's no way Super Star Wars is higher then $9.99 right?  I mean it is still an SNES game.  Right?  

Please?

Even at $15 I may not be able to resist though.

 
As soon as I get my code, I'm going straight to best buy (whenever I'm not fucking working) to grab gcu and Fallout 4. With gcu, I think I only need to go to best buy for game stuff on black friday. Walmart maybe if I feel like it for gtav and ps+ cards. But here's what I'll probably pick up at best buy:

Sw Battlefront 49.99 + 4.99 ps+ card
FF x/x2 15.99
Lego dimensions 59.99
Batman AK 19.99
Just Dance 2016 wiiu 19.99 (not for me)

I couldn't even finish the tutorial on skull girls for the ps3. Those combos were crazy to have to pull off. Fighting games are the worst though.
 
 
 
There seems to be a lot more used games on there now. Tempted on demon gaze for 17, and destiny for 11 and a few more, but I'll wait til my last shipment is ready to pick up before I grab anymore. There's a bunch of pokemon 3ds games on there for anyone interested. Those seem to hold their value pretty good.

I actually had some fun with that game when they accidentally made the vita demo the full game. I also like michael jackson's music which I'm sure helps.

My joke was more about Michael Jackson's experience and less about his music.

Wasn't a huge fan but obviously knew pretty much all his songs when he was in the prime of his career. Everything he did seemed to be gold (or I guess platinum).

That is one thing they are bad about. They'll introduce a new chalk mechanic, use it for a stage or 2, and then it will disappear for several stages. After not using the water power for 4 or 5 stages I couldn't figure out how to progress in a level of the last stage and it called for the water power.

The White chalk power is only used when you see a short, hanging, white cable not attached to anything. Either draw a line with your finger from the hanging cable to a platform (or more often) a rolling boulder. It has to be directly below the cable within 10 or 20 degrees. It is the first power you get and it is used the least.

The Red chalk power is a floating line of flammable red powder. Draw a line with your finger from a heat source (flaming enemy, torch, open flame) to unlit torches (lit torches kill ghosts and stop suits of armor from moving) or explosive barrels (which destroy weakened barriers and wooden crates).

The Blue chalk power allows you to spawn water. Draw a horizontal line from one vertical wall to the other with your finger and where you drew is the water line. Any wooden objects will sink halfway into the water and then float, allowing you to create bridges across gaps that you don't have enough crates to fill.

Sometimes maneuvering around requires switching between hero and skeleton form. For instance the hero is both wider and taller so he can't fit through some gaps that the skeleton can. Both the hero and skeleton will drown in 2 or 3 seconds of being submerged in water, but because the hero is taller he can perform actions in standing water that would kill the skeleton. Sometimes you need water that high in order to float objects high enough that you can move them.

Hero form is given a rapier which can kill all enemies except ghosts. Skeleton form is given a weapon which can't kill, but will knock most enemies back a great distance. Sometimes this is used to get enemies to trigger traps that will kill you/the princess and sometimes it is preferable to knock the enemies off ledge rather than kill them. Some enemies when killed do not come back, but if they are spawned from a portal, once they are killed another will spawn in 10-15 seconds. If you knocked them off the ledge and out of the way instead of killing them, another won't spawn.

Another core mechanic that comes into play is stacked objects. If two objects are stacked on top of each other with their edges lined up, you can't push the top object off.

#

#

But if you slide another object that is the same height as the bottom object next to it (or move it over to a ledge that is the same height)

#

##

You can either push the top object off to create a row of 3, ###, or slide the top crate over to the second object, by pulling it, then jumping to the other side and pushing it the rest of the way.

Another thing you'll do a lot is push crates off a ledge onto a crate that is below. If you offset the lower crate position so that the crate that lands won't line up their edges, then you'll be able to push the top crate off whenever you want.

#

#

You can also offset stacks by pushing a crate stack that is too tall into a low hanging ceiling and the lower crate will continue to move forward, but the top will not. Or straighten an offset stack by pushing a stack of crates into a vertical wall.

Another puzzle element is inverting gravity. At fixed points you can press circle and flip gravity 180 degrees (the princess does not suffer fall damage when shifting gravity). This causes all movable objects and enemies also to flip and start walking on the ceiling. Sometimes when you can't make it through by pushing blocks into gaps on the floor, you can make progress on the ceiling.

One common gravity puzzle is a collection of blocks in an area where you can shift gravity back and forth. These are like those sliding tile puzzle games in which there is one open gap and you have to slide the tiles around to form a picture with an added wrinkle. In this gravity puzzle, the floor and the ceiling are a different shape. The ceiling may be flat, and the floor might have a few shallow pits. You invert gravity, move what crates you can on the ceiling, then when you return gravity to normal you can make new crates moves on the floor. Those moves allow you to make new crate moves once you invert gravity again, etc. By shifting gravity back and forth, moving crates each time, you can now, for instance, slide an explosive barrel that was previously under 2 crates, next to a breakable wall.

There are also videos on youtube for all the levels if you get stuck.

Did we post the NPD numbers yet? Looks like xbox won the month for hardware.

Not posted yet, no. I'm sure the vast majority of this came from Halo 5. If not for the upcoming BF I'm sure the numbers would drop back down. I'm curious as to whether XB1 or PS4 will win this holiday season. Unless XB1 hits $250 I expect it to be PS4.

I'm thinking of picking up Bloodborne for $16 as well. How much is the expansion? Guessing the GOTY would launch at full price. Not that I need an expansion on a 40+ hour game though anyway. Lol. Why are so many games so fuck ing long lately?
