Nah, it wasn't any huge sum, but it was a sizable amount of a gamesharing library fund. I wasn't the only one here involved. He just dropped off the radar about 5 months ago, and we've tried different methods to contact him. He just never answers. He always seemed like a good dude, so maybe he's just got other stuff going on. But it's weird that he can't at least say "hey, I'm not dead."

It's real weird. I mean, it would take him like 20 mins max to drop in and get the paypal switched over so smeone else could handle it.

I know people have lives outside the internet and all, but i always find it strange when people just absolutely completely disappear.

 
My kid installed the homebrew channel on the Wii and I put Gecko OS on it, which lets you run Japanese Wii and GameCube games. We have a couple Japanese GC games. We had a modded GC for that but the mod stopped working. Anyway, it works great. Spent some time playing the weird and fun game Kururin Squash.

Space Hulk and Foul Play look to be some interesting games for the vita, I'll wait and see what they are priced.

I wonder if they made any changes to Space Hulk to bring it more in line with the updates they added in Space Hulk Ascension. Apparently SH had a number of issues that Ascension improved upon.

I already have SH on Steam. Hopefully the Vita version won't be much, as I'd rather play it on there. But price and port quality are going to determine that one.

Most stealth games I've played just had bad stealth. Have you played Mark of the Ninja? That was great fun and stealth kills and just sneaking in general felt great. Deus Ex: Human Revolution felt good, but fucked it up by having boss fights. I haven't played any of the Hitman games yet, so I'm not sure on those. MGS, AC, and Batman aren't stealth games, IMO, and they really confuse the genre by being labeled as such.

I'm planning to play Styx and Dishonored next month, along with TLOU:R. Hopefully at least one of them does a good job with it.

Hitman is big on disguises so you aren't necessarily creeping along hiding from enemies, you are searching for an opportunity to either locate a change of clothes or subdue someone who has the outfit you need, and then you can move about pretty freely as the hits are mostly in public places (casino, wine tasting at a vinyard, the opera, a wedding, Mardi Gras, a hotel, etc.). That's in the later games in the series, Contracts and Blood Money. The earlier games more resemble Metal Gear as you are often infiltrating remote locations like Russian Military Bases and the forts of arms dealers so you have to avoid patrols or sneak up behind them and take them out. My recommendation is to start with Blood Money (as it has the best assortment of levels) and if you like it, try one of the other games.

I don't think they lied.

I think they just don't know. Honestly they don't care about trophies, it's really important to remember that we inflate the importance of Trophies in this thread about 100x of what it is in the average gaming population.

But didn't someone ask them in a PS Blog post if it would have a plat and a developer responded "yep" or something affirmative to that effect? Isn't that a lie?

I'll let you guys know Saturday.

I don't like bourbon either but those twisted shots were pretty tasty. Kind of expensive so I only had them once.

The 4-pack was only $5 so I grabbed them. I was looking for Buchanan's Whiskey for her but couldn't find it and saw those and figured it was worth a shot.


Also I beat Until Dawn. It's a pretty good "interactive movie" but only good as a one time thing. I actually liked it better than Beyond two souls.
Click to expand...
I thought Until Dawn was going to be all torture porn but what I saw surprised me. I'm still not sure if I'll play it but I did like watching someone else play. I'd like to see it from the beginning to get the whole picture.

Beyond overstayed its welcome. I'm not sure how long my only playthrough lasted but I was ready for it to be over. It dragged too much for me. Heavy Rain is still my favorite interactive movie followed by Indigo Prophecy.

I mean it's not true. But they probably don't know much about trophies and just thought all games that have trophies have platinums or something. I truly can't imagine they would intentionally try to mislead people.

What? Why the hell would anybody ask if a game has a plat if all you have to do for a plat in any game is collect all the trophies? There'd be no reason to ask. :wall:

Just finished up S2E2 of TWD. Last night I played through TWAU E3. TWD S2 is actually more appealing than S1 so far; less of a bitchy cast, seems like. TWAU got a lot better in E3; the first two episodes felt kinda slow.

Funny how terrible Telltale is at optimization. Even the new and improved PS4 engine runs like shit with frame jumps throughout the gameplay, especially upon many scene changes. I wasn't expecting them to have fixed the problem entirely, but I was expecting more improvement than what they seem to have managed. Are GoT or TotB any better in that respect?

 
omega quintet has a giant difficulty spike in the 6th episode.  there's a boss that can team wipe based on some rng stuff (there's a mechanic in the game that lets enemies randomly interrupt turn order and attack immediately - sometimes this guy does it once, puts the whole team to sleep/paralyze with big damage and then interrupts order again and kills everyone while they're still incapacitated).  I'm going to probably have to spend a few hours grinding just to build up enough hp to survive a 2nd/3rd attack.

You should probably grind a few levels for I don't know all day perhaps.

If anyone wants to do a match of Invasion today I would be down. I want to see how good Guardian Owl is. I bet he's pretty good considering he got the Vanquish plat.

The video was kind of boring to watch for me, so I am not sure if it was answered. Is the combat supposed to have any depth at all or is it just button mashing as it appears?
Click to expand...
There's a blocking/parry mechanic, but otherwise I think it's primarily button mashing. Of course I've never played it so I have no actual idea. I'm a complete sucker for that time period aesthetic and sidescrolling bralwers. So for me it'll be hard to resist.

The art style is definitely cool. I may wait to hear gameplay impressions from some of you that sound like you will be getting it early on before deciding if I want to jump in though. It would not be the first or last game that looks boring when watching someone else play that I might actually find fun when playing it myself.

yeah im down. I think it is Bums, Guardian, You and me. Our pal tracy maybe if someone doesn't show up.

I would have been down last night but this chic really wanted to cam. Anyone watch it? it was super painful. It was the preppy 18y/o from last year the cowgirl one that came back over. She spent most of the time just doing lines and smoking bowls. I stayed off cam the whole time just playing vita and cleaning the house. They only made $50 just flashing and I never got on cam. painful. she just called at 7 this morning to see if we wanted to cam again, bjs and everything, and im like no we are busy. my problems never end.

As I said I'm down to help but I'm sure all 3 of you guys will be carrying me. Velo is always positive even though I die fast. When you guys figure a time out send me a PM on CAG. I'm just going to get a In-N-Out burger when they open and then play some games. So after I eat lunch I'll be good to go.
 
I voted grow home only because I didn't like what Vikings turned out to be. And clearly armello isn't my cup of tea either. So cute clank looking platform dude it is!

I'm going to get lunch in an hour and should be ready around 11-11:15 PST. If everybody else is ready, if not we can figure out what time works.

Also lets try to open a party chat this time.
 
ok so like 2 snipers/2 shields on those later rounds, Heavies on those early rounds. later rounds we gotta go downstairs maybe and just hold as they rush. buy some holo grenades if needed. always max first aids. im trying to prepare. you guys gonna have a ps4/vita party going? i can just turn ps4 party chat on and have it on in the background on my sound system and just have game audio out of the tv. does the game have chat? i dont know if ya wanna hear all my kids if they are running round. idk. lets do this

http://www.playstationtrophies.org/forum/binary-domain/147989-invasion-tips-discussion-4.html

First of all stay in groups of two. Try to resist wanting to steal the other groups points and then leaving your team mate by himself to get killed which happened to me today.

Secondly SAVE your points. There is no point buying the sniper rifle at wave 10 as the enemies are all low level greens and monkeys. That means you just wasted 650 points that could have bought you the rifle at 45 - 50. Try to refrain buying anything apart from 1-2 medkits till wave 20.

Price list for needed weapons and equipment

Medkits: 150

Chaff grenades: 450

Sniper rifle: 650

Shield: 1000


Here is a purchase guide for each section of Invasion: (FOLLOW IT TO THE LETTER)

Waves 1-10: Buy nothing!

Waves 10-20: Buy 1-2 medkits depending on skill
Points needed: 300

Waves 20-30: Buy Sniper rifle, 2 medkits
Points needed: 950

Waves 30 - 40: Buy sniper rifle, 3 medkits, 1 chaff grenade
Points needed: 1550

Waves 40 - 50: Buy Sniper rifle, 3 medkits, 3 chaff grenades and a shield if you volunteered.
Points needed: 3450

so yeah your sub weapons go away after those 5 rounds, so ill try to refrain from getting the snipers every round. maybe on our later rounds pull a guardian cuz the killers will have more points than the shield guys. groups of 2. etc

Party chat is the best since if somebody get disconnected from game than you still can talk to them. Plus if you need to give any tips/help it's easier than dealing with messaging.

I can understand not posting here anymore but to go back and delete a profuse amount of prior posts? I find it ridiculous. Of course ridiculous in a incredibly hilarious way. Its like breaking up with an ex-lover and sneaking into their home to grab everything you've ever given them so you can erase the mistake that was us.

I should go over and do that sometime, but im so lazy. Simmias and I did a 100% Resonance of Fate run with Stotch, he was our RoF bro from like over a year ago. also he always had some great zingers in the chats. and he did some great trophy guides, especially zero escape vlr.

It always sucks when this thread loses awesome people. hopefully he comes back or some others come back. or whatever

 
is Guardian_owl even awake yet? im barely here too. iv got my kid trying to do some binary domain mp against level 50 japanese dudes. he doesn't know why he is being punished, lol
