Are you offering a $20 PSN card, though? I might be inclined to carefully comb your post selection then. But when all I find is bitching, you have to deny it, because there is one or two where you say something positive. Heard that's how it works.

No, I'm just pointing out that randomly making vague, negative comments about people and not being willing to back those comments up is rude. You weren't talking to me and you weren't referencing anything I said, so there was no reason to mention me in your comment at all; if you did feel the need you should have kept it to something fair and defensible such as "I'm enjoying this game a lot more than Them seems to be," and a statement of what you like about it rather than "Thermo is wrong" without any intent to explain how.

Did anybody buy Futuridium EP Deluxe? Impressions? Trying to decide if I want to spend the $9.99 PS+ discount price.[/quote]
I only got to play it for about an hour last night, but that shit is pretty hard. I haven't made it past zone 1 yet (10 levels per zone), but I've made it to the boss at the end of it. I'm sure I'll improve as the more you play, the more continues you get (but you have to shoot cubes to earn them, not just pause like Under Defeat HD). I like the low-Rez look but it can be hard to see where you're aiming sometimes. Music is bumpin' though.

I'll give it more time this weekend for my full review. Hopefully I can make some decent progress and improve the skills.

Hey guys, I dont give a shit what game we pick for the next trophy competition.

Wait, is this the right thread?

I'd say Spelunky is the best game of the month to go for since it's multi-plat and has a shared trophy list. I'm sure less people have played it compared to B:AA, too, though I'm not sure if it beats Dust for the number of people who could play but haven't yet. I was hoping TT would let me see how many people in the OT leaderboard had played a game and to what extent, but I'm not seeing anywhere to look up something like that.

 
I'm actually in the same boat as Pharm with SoM.  I can't seem to take on a captain without getting into a massive brawl and it's starting to get on my nerves.  There's always so many archers and shield guys.  I really like the last chance counter thing, but the second time it triggers in the same fight it's basically impossible for me to do in time.  It's like it's only there to taunt me.  So people who are friends with me will have plenty of chances to avenge my many deaths.

Isn't dust exclusive to ps4 on sony systems and is just now being released? if so, no one would have 100%/plat it yet.

You can see that on TT, but everyone would have to be your friend on there for you to see it. There will be a leaderboard to the right with scores of your friends with the game.

Yes, I was referring to how the number of people interested in the competition who have PS4s might be higher than the number of people interested that have not already played a significant amount of Spelunky on PS3/Vita.

Yeah, that was what I had seen. I'm surprised there isn't a leaderboard-specific view when you pull up a game. For example if you go to Spelunky you see the global leaderboard; there should also be a way to show the game scores for any other leaderboard you specify as well. It's an obvious oversight IMO.

 
Thermopyle said:
I do have JC2 but haven't gotten to it yet. I do expect I'll have the same problems with it as SoM but I do want to give it a try despite that.

And yeah, I got the PC version of SoM. I don't have a PS4. I was fairly leery of grabbing the PC version simply because I wasn't sure it was my kind of game (I generally prefer games with a strong story or gameplay progression over open world stuff), and though $26 isn't too bad for a brand new game I knew I wouldn't be able to get any of that back.

The PC version of Just Cause 2 runs marvelous, even on a slightly out of date, middle-tier PC. The PC version also gains access to the multi-player mod which is a crazy, hectic diversion.

That's stupid advice. Why can't you be more helpful like Vig?

Anyway, yeah, I know. But I've run into a couple of guys who have weaknesses that I can't do much with. Like a guy who is weak to stealth, but he's in a wide clearing so I can't jump down on him and he's got a bunch of guys around him so I can't sneak up on him. I killed a warchief last night who was a real pain. His only weakness was ranged, but it only damaged him. You couldn't do a one hit kill with a headshot, so I kept running out of elf shot.

Yeah, that's the version I've got and I have no doubts about my system being able to handle it. I'll probably look into mods before starting it up; IIRC there's supposed to be some great visual mods and such as well which shouldn't give my PC any problems.

 
Maybe with the increased revenue Sony gets by raising PS+ prices in the Ukraine and Africa they can improve the system.  Was down this morning even though their stupid page said otherwise.  Wanted to get an hour in this morning but couldn't.  It came back up as I was leaving for work.  

 
I'd much rather have a Spelunky Daily Challenge competition. Play the DC every day for a month and whoever has the most wins (among PSNOT participants) wins. Or maybe there's a point scale thing. 5 for 1st, 4 for 2nd, 3 for 3rd, 2 for 4th and 1 for 5th. Or something like that. That would be a real competition. Not this trophy nonsense. Plus it's only one try each day. Easy peasy.

LOL, I have died numerous times already... hardest thing I have done was a sword challenge, I was dropped into a pit of roughly 100 Uruks and had to kill atleast 50 of them, with a bonus objective of completing a 100 move combo... I can't wait to try that one again! the blood and combos I was getting to were awesome!

I did that challenge last night too, got up to an 82 combo before some stupid Uruk hit me :wall:

I'm hoping those raises are just for heavier local infrastructure to be installed for better local network performance. I'd guess they don't have a lot in those areas.

That's a pretty cool idea. OlliOlli would be a great candidate for this approach when it goes free as well. Hell we could even throw Rayman Origins in since it was free on PS+ a while back and everybody should have it.

Yeah, I would actually participate for more than 2 days. 3 tops.

I think you mean Rayman Legends, which has the daily challenge aspect. Also, Rayman Legends hasn't been on PS+ yet.

I need to try that one again. I've gotten a bunch of upgrades since I first tried it that is going to make it a lot easier. Instakills at 5 combo instead of 8, add 2 to combo on critical hits, can take one hit without resetting the combo counter

That sounds sweet, might also be because like you I've probably played more Spelunky than most here. Although I haven't kept up with it.

I'll disqualify myself from actually winning, but participate even though I can't win. For fun. Yeah. How 'bout them apples?

Posted the ad info in the deals forum. Another Walmart 50% promo coming next week. Trade 2 games and purchase nba2k15(and return if you want)
Click to expand...
To add some nobody cares since I was in a hurry to post the deal earlier. If values hold gonna swap my Madden for 2k, and then trade in Diablo for psn cards to but it digital. That'll knock out 60 of my 100. If I like drive club, then I'll return 2k to get cred for that to take me over the 100 mark. If I don't like it, I'll probably pre-order Dragon age digital. Too bad it doesn't stack, I could probably hit 200 if I liked drive club.
