1 year exclusive must have been a hell of a bag

Still, this game has some serious issues that became apparent after just a few minutes and they are all due to the game's hub world and menus. In short, they are pretty bad. 

The start up screen is a confusing menu where it's not clear what options you are selecting, then you getting into the online lobby and have to go through a series of hoops to play the game. Right out the gate the 3D hubworld looks really cool and it's fun seeing all the fucked up avatars people have. The problem is since it's a 3D game and I'm using an arcade stick, I can't (or couldn't figure out) how to control the camera, which made navigation tedious. This isn't a problem at all with standard controllers.

You have to select your character before the match as well as if you want modern or classic controls. It's a little frustrating that classic controls aren't default but whatever. The problem is if I go into training mode and select Chun Li with classic controls, I'll do training  with Chun Li until someone joins. Then I'm in a match playing as Luke with modern controls. Turns out, you have to access a different menu before sitting at the virtual arcade to choose what character you want when the match starts. Stuff like this is just needly convoluted, especially since there is another options menu that asks if you want classic or modern controls but it apparently doesn't work properly?

 

I didn't have nav problems even with my hitbox, but I can see it. The menu is a disaster for character selection. Hopefully that part changes, I know that has been frequent feedback. I'm watching a tourney on LIJoe's stream with a lot of the top players, everyone is loving it so far. The menus are almost dealbreakingly bad unless you want to keep doing the same thing. 

 

Grand finals upcoming

Target is selling the disc version of Halo Infinite for $9.99 this week.

 

https://www.target.c...348#lnk=sametab

 

I know it's on Game Pass, but that's a helluva price drop!  :shock:

For technically just the campaign, yeah I see it. 

 

More time with the SF6 beta and modern controls, getting better. Plays very well, surround sound in the battle hub is cool. My setup I can only really have 1 device at 120hz and one doing Atmos, I'm not sure why. The Xbox doesn't let me even though technically it should. I'll probably get it on PS5 because it wins 120hz output due to Spidey.

I've got a cart loaded at 50.xx, Kingdoms of Amalur REReckoning, ESO CE collection, MK11 movie skin pack. I want to wait and see if I hit the autoredeem to make it cheaper. Punch card ends Jan 2nd.

SF6 beta yay. Made my wife for my avatar. Modern controls work.

I'm surprised people are surprised that a game updating to a Series version wants to be on the internal.

"Fortnite Chun Li" being the search term makes me sad. I'm not sure Minecraft waifus are better or worse than scrambles.

You saw it on Wario, right? He said he didn't buy anything during this promotion but already owned one of the movies on sale.


I own Die Hard so maybe? It worked for me. This was on The Villain Was Right pod recently, will have some new eyes now.

The video suggests it could be an Xbox streaming stick + controller in one. You would connect the controller to a display (...wirelessly or via cable?) and access Game Pass without a TV dongle or fancy Xbox-approved TV.

So why a screen for something you don't watch? They already put off the project as a box too expensive, this would be even more complicated. I'm not attacking, just trying to wrap my head around it.

28% audience score, the one that matters most. Even the positive reviews beg others to embrace the new and see past expectations. Sorry, even with that spin they did an awful job from horrible dialogue to a grating cast. Oh and the plot immediately shits on the original movie and how everything that was sacrificed and bled for was in the end a waste. Everyone in charge of this show should be fed to the death dogs.

Andor early episode review vs final reviews changed a LOT. It's possible. Think how impossible it felt then. Like Nintendo titles going on sale. Like MS acutally putting out a game that merits $70. 

 

I can't think of anything not Forza or Gears related that could deserve looking at the big tag. Halo was not that game. It was supposed to be that game, but it would have Cyberpunked the whole generation and left a lot of bad taste. And I'm still playing Infinte, I'm about to finish the S2 battle pass.

What app?

I'm on Android and iOS RemoteNOW. It's a little annoying, but it works.

Downloaded MFS Unbound for the 10hr trial, I don't mind the art style but I can understand it being annoying to some. The way I play a racing game I love Burnout 2 and 3, and I'm getting the vibes. First race I got 4th, still trying to get the hang, but the feel is good is what I'm saying.

TV stuff


Get the app, it'll make calibration a lot easier instead of fighting the menu back and forth.

I'm sure it's fine, the packaging is really good. Not ideal but things happen. Karens about.

In case anyone was interested in the fighting controller I got, the site both restocked and now has a PS5/Series option, coming soon. Might make it the first actual universal controller.

I'm thinking you mean GPU. If you currently have/had GPU, make sure it is expired. Then get 36 months of Gold, Gamepass, or a combination of both and then upgrade to GPU for $14.99 and you'll have 36 months of GPU.

We're going to have to move past this at some point. What is it to load up for 36 months? I paid Sony $75 for a year of mid-tier and am happy enough with that. I know I saw 3months for $25, so $100/year. Is there better?

I only knew milk elementals exist because I follow Steph Sterling who wrote it up.

 

Tranquilo. You're looking at this way too seriously.

Reminder to check your Bing rebate/cashbacks as well. Just dropped $300 getting 4 new tires, I realized I should probably use the desktop and check stuff. Walmart had over 10% cashback from bing. I also saw a SATA 1TB SSD for $50 that was really tempting to replace for my PS4Pro, but seeing as I'm repartitioning the 2TB SSD that I had in it to stick in my PC, fair to say not enough use. I did get an $80 Gen4 1TB drive to go in the PS5 so I should be good.

 

I bought a video card from someone who waited inside a Panera once. Starbucks etc where they expect you to linger work well as public place option. 

 

I do respect the spoiler idea, but VS is so much more a vibes game.

Which guide did you use for Vampire Survivors? I'm tempted to look at one but also kind of wary about spoilers.

........
Come the Fuck on. I have no idea what could even spoil. The milk elementals?

Thanks for the info. I’ll be asking for cash as payment if selling on OfferUp, Craigslist or FB marketplace. I fully expect “tire kickers” and low ballers no matter the platform.


Just saying that would make me avoid you. Consider the source. This point one of the heartiest laughs I've had in a while, no shit the moron gets duped.

Apologies for breaking up the merger talk. I have some older HDTVs I’m looking to sell. They’re sitting around unused and I’m clearing things out. What are some options in order to get it done? It’s the first time I’m attempting to sell such items.

FB marketplace works, bought my PS5 through there. Mercari is another one I've used that I don't think I saw mentioned. Nextdoor as well depending on the area. I just went to the guy's house to buy the PS5, paid with cashapp as I wasn't going to carry cash to an unknown place. I've seen ads want cash and some want electronic payments, it's up to you in the end.

I know go to a police station is the classic advice bit that feels a bit outdated for a wide variety of reasons that I am going to leave at that. TVs are awkward, I wouldn't want to take them somewhere. Record the transaction/make it known you'll record as a deterrent to shenanigans?


Vampire Survivors got a lot better after reading a guide for a few minutes. I figured some things out, but it was much more rewarding after a nudge in the right direction. Garlic is awesome and can be very satisfying.

They can have CoD if that's all that's the big deal. Damn.

Grabbed a digital copy of Dying Light 2 from walmart.com for $20, nice to get it $10 cheaper than the sale.


Tempting.

I know there are some Plex users, the lifetime Plex Pass is 25% off, I think ~$85. Have had mine a few years now. In utterly unrelated news. Black Adam is already on sale digitally, 31 days after release.

PS Direct has had consoles every day this week. You're just impatient and make bad decisions.

Sonic is indeed being received well. Its also a jumbled indecisive mess.

A Sonic game being mediocre instead of a dumpster fire has become a celebration of sorts. 30 is probably a fair price that we won't see for a while.

garbage do not buy.

horrible sound

i messed with internal equalizer and found no way to make it not sound like horrible muddied piece of crap. regret even giving it a try

 

i use a sennheiser 6xx for my pc but it wasnt loud enough without buying another amp/dac for my ps5 so i bought the hd 599 for like 95~ with tax when it went on sale on amazon and its been really good with tons of volume to spare

 

its like 118 on amazon right now and still at a great price

just dont buy it if cord into controller bothers you, also its open back so could disturb family at night if thats an issue

Saved me money. I'm thinking for PSVR2, what's my best option? Is it more worthwhile to use a headset or just use my soundbar? I've got a Samsung Atmos bar with rear surrounds that is awesome but I always wonder about the positional nature of VR.

 

I'm re-upping my Plus at the middle tier, I don't want to stream and top tier benefits don't seem enough.
