Maybe later today or tomorrow probably. Pretty much exactly what that guy said, except the "easy or as hard as the player wants it to be" part feels more to me like a lack of a true identity. The game wants you to go as fast as possible, except for in parts that basically require you to slow down. I wish it had gone with the Velocity-style of making you want to hold turbo the entire time.

It's not a major drawback. But lots of times I just wanted to go as fast as I could, and when I did I was usually punished by slamming into a stray asteroid. You're basically rewarded for not going as fast as possible, which to me kind of defeated the purpose of the game.
That's too bad, it doesn't seem like the kind of game that should encourage you to slow down. velocity really was amazing in how it subtly pushed at you all the time. Most of the time you weren't punished (other than in scoring) for slowing down but there is that constant feeling of a car driving behind you with its headlights off.
 
Yeah 7p is just a bit too early for me also. I'll join up with zimm unless guardian owl wants to move it to 8p? I guess I should see if I have the game too.
You should have the game if you downloaded it when it came out during plus. I'm also down to help if it it is 8pm.

I tried to play some Just Cause 2 earlier today but I guess I never downloaded it during plus. Oh well.

Yeah and you actually even have a rechargable amount of fuel so you even have to slow down sometimes and let it recharge. To me it was an odd design choice.

No one else had joined anyway so I moved it an hour later, can always move it forward another hour if needed.

That will probably work out better anyway as some of the trophies require being in a public matchmaking game so being later means less of a chance of a random joining the lobby and messing things up.

I found the game if you need people to help…just let me know a time so I can make sure I would be available :)

Tomorrow at 8PM CST, PSNprofiles should tell you what it is in your local time. I already have Shadow unlocked so you can boot it up and go straight to multiplayer first thing as the rest of the 4 are unlocked from the start.

Cool, thanks. I'll load it up tonight so I can officially join the session.
 
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night was announced by IGA, the developer of the recent 2.5-D Castlevanias: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/iga/bloodstained-ritual-of-the-night?ref=nav_search

$60 for a Kickstarter-only physical edition (it sounds like they'll be making physical copies no matter what) seems a bit high.
I'm sure the game will be great and all but the Japanese developers gone rogue who move on to do the same exact thing they've done before is starting to get old. I guess we should all prepare ourselves for ALLOY SUPPLY FIRM for when Kojima leaves Konami.

I'll be good to go then. I'll boot it up when my daughter takes her nap today so I can get familiar with everything. count me in :)

Slightly tempted to get in on this, but every single Sonic game I ever play becomes a pain in my ass. Since this one is supposedly much more difficult than the last Sonic Racing game, I am not sure I have it in me. Glad to see that it appears you guys will have enough to get it done without me.

YOU SHUT YOUR MOUTH

Already been taken down once, so I expect this will be too. Not that there's anything surprising in there, it sounds like konami is just looking to align itself with legalized gambling in Japan (if it passes) and ditching the gaming business. Maybe part of the bill that's going through their government will require that companies that want to participate not be associated with in-home gaming. Who knows.
 
hey why did moats go out of style? it seems like it'd still be a good deterrent for the less motivated hooligans in the world. I want to build a new suburban subdivision that is powered completely by Tesla powerwalls and has a subdivision moat whose upkeep is paid for by neighborhood association dues.

Eh, doesn't bother me that much. If there is player demand for it and publishers don't want to pony up the dough for it, then this is the result.

I'm certainly not going to complain if a fast paced, time-slowing, rocket boosting mech game called Subjugate gets kickstarted.

The next evolution will probably be companies using it to gauge interest and get preorders for one and done series that were good games, but didn't sell well enough to merit a sequel.

I still feel like they could handle their exit from game publishing (if that's what they're doing) with a bit more tact. It'd be cool if they could give their various series to other companies.

Pretty soon rhinos, elephants, hippos n pandas are gonna be extinct like the dinosaurs. the diversity on our planet keeps dwindling and we are all busy playing with our thumbs staring at screens. ignorance is bliss. im gonna go drink a beer and earn some fake trophies, yay...

What kind of rainbow and unicorn filled world do you live in? Large corporations do not give a shit about tact unless it means more money in their pockets.

They won't be giving a damn thing away. Your best hope is that they decide to sell it and not just continue to use the IP in their other business lines (that Contra gambling machine made me want to puke) or put out shitty versions of the games on shoestring budgets just to cash in.

As the video points out they've already built a neo contra gambling machine. I expect the plan is to use their name brand and license recognition to make a big splash over the rest of the mess of initial competitors. Coming out of the gate as number one in that situation would definitely be good business.

Additionally there's apparently a push in the US to get 'video game' gambling legalized ie non-slot/card type games. So maybe they're working on this with an eye to the west too. We westerners love our gamblin!

Yikes, sorry.

 
Didn't Nintendo or Squaresoft or some company begin as a gambling/pachinko company first... my memory fails me
Nintendo. They started in like 1788 or some ridiculous thing. They had giant pachinko boards 20 feet tall and an armor clad italian with a pornstache dropped a shield down the wooden monstrosity where the prizes at the bottom consisted of bread and not dying of dysentery.
 
Final Helldiver update developers video. Short one on the environment, but also reveals that there will be 6 new trophies. At least I think he says "trophies"? I had to listen to it 3 times!

Yikes, sorry.
My apologies since that did come off pretty harsh. It is just a pet peeve of mine when gamers seem to expect that the companies who make products for us to be any different than any other large corporation. Way too many idealists instead of realists in our ranks. I just seem to have a better memory about how many times the companies have proven the only thing they give a damn about is how to get another buck out of our wallets.

 
Corporations are run by people.  People care about money.  People want to take all your money.  There isnt some sentient AI controlling everything.

I liked volition and red faction/saints row games, but i always felt burned when some magazine asked some volition developer about saints row 2 having trophies in the game. The guy said in the interview that not only would saints row 2 get new trophies but they would also include new trophies. instead the game never got trophies. it's like when EA screwed over anyone who had brutal legend dlc/patch and Tim Schafer said they had the patch all ready to go but because of legal disputes EA wouldn't release it. or when games like section 8 prejudice or guardians of middle earth or star wars conquest become unplayable because they shut off the servers not even a year after release. idk

No worries. I know companies suck; I just tend to be optimistic about certain things even if it's pointless to do so.

Is everyone sitting down since what is in the spoiler might shock some of you?

Gamefly just sent me a Wii U game. No trophies! OMG!!!  Pikmin 3 has been at the top of my Q for some time.  I finally had to set it so that they didn't send me a game for up to a week in an effort to get them to send it to me.

It was the only non-Sony game that has ever been in my Q and the only game this old that has been that hard to get from them.

 
I bet many of you own stock in large corporations.  If you work for a living (not you Velo, your work doesnt count!) and you dont have a 401K or something similar, your dumb.  I bet none of you that have stock truly give a damn how the company makes money as long as it makes you money.

Lost Orbit is gonna be $12, just found it in the fact sheet they sent over. I know someone was asking about it during the stream on Friday, don't remember if it was a CAG though. But yeah, there it is. No idea if there is a Plus discount.

 
Money, like Blake Lively, is awesome.
Money is awesome but drugs are bad?

You need to trip or roll sometime Tyler, Where's your head at?

The best things in life are free

also corporations are worse than people.

Some people at least have morals/ethics, while corporations sole purpose is to make a profit.

check out some adbusters or culture jam sometime. join the weatherman.

Also Velo, nothing in life is truly free.  Everything has a consequence or "cost".
