I never did play too much of redux, but it apparently fixed a lot of the stuff that bugged me in the original, like bad animation on the mutants and kind of squishy pacing around the nazis / polis / kid bits midway through

the tunnels under moscow are real eerie when youā€™re all alone and done purging them of fascist infestation

shrug I am glad you are playing Metro 2033 because it is a Very Good Game.

You are a STALKER guy right?

I like STALKER until it turns into a corridor shooter except the corridors are elevated platforms and everything that wants to murder you can see you from everywhere all the time.

Switch to the Vita on the train.

You wouldnt expect it but the first thing you do in Soul Calibur PSP is murder some animals. The animals have motivation and bravery so yeah. Who would expect that game to be upsetting! It does start with telling you this game is NOT CANON.

Strider 2 fucking rules. Sure you can beat it in 30 minutes and it is confusing that disc one is strider and a PS1 classic does not do a good job of telling you this game has two discs. Its fucking great though. Fantastic loading screen art. Something about itā€™s entire statement makes me think of Barkley.

Good lord Crash 2 is garbage. What a shit jump cycle. What horrible OCDism. Beating the first round of stages to discover you didnā€™t collect enough shit. I know that I am the sole BK defender here, but that game is built around collecting stuff. This game is a weird half-breed with a terrible jump arc that is about forward momentum and kleptomania. Look we want you to have fun moving through the stage but also stop constantly to collect all the shit with are hate physics.

I played some Observer today. I know Felix said it was super Polish but I guess I didnā€™t expect it to be With Fire and Sword fanfiction level Polish.

just wait until the last scene where youā€™re (minor to major spoilers) talking to your son adam through soviet-era technology in a catholic church.

itā€™s the most polish thing that ever polished

#1133

Thereā€™s a store a couple blocks down from me called POLISH TREASURES and I can only ever pronounce it pawwlish in my head

#1134

Itā€™s been a long time but from what I remember by then I had power armor and some kind of horrible future rifle that murdered all those guys near instantly. I mean itā€™s not a great endgame but itā€™s manageable.

Today I played the olā€™ troubleshoot your PS3, as I tried to play some games after not touching it in a long time and kept getting a black screen when I selected the game from the main menu. Apparently the file system was corrupt, but restoring it didnā€™t work. I hope itā€™s not dead

way more likely to be hard drive failure than anything else from the sounds of things

#1137

Yeah most likely. I have had problems with games starting with no sound since I bought it, which was always able to be fixed by pulling the hdmi cable and plugging back in. I swap the cable between the ps3 and 4 depending on which one I want to use, so I figured it could be a damaged port, but then I probably would be able to use the controller to quit back to the home screen

#1138

nevermind, this sounds like something else

Six months ago, I played through about half of Etrian Mystery Dungeon, and didnā€™t like it because it was too easy and not enough like Shiren, which is what I was really pining for.

Now, Iā€™ve picked it up again, and I rather enjoy it.

Etrian Mystery Dungeon 2 just came out in Japan. Not sure exactly what changed, one thing is a new subclass concept: http://www.siliconera.com/2017/05/25/etrian-mystery-dungeon-2-new-subclass-feature-opens-world-customized-possibilities/ . Was thinking of picking it up. I donā€™t think an English translation has been announced, but stuff usually makes it over nowadays.

I keep telling myself Iā€™ll ghost an area but then the game fills it with fascists who need to die

Welp, just tried my PS3 again, this time to see if it will accept a DVD and the disc just wouldnā€™t go in. Pressing the eject button makes it beep three times. I guess it is just faulty hardware.

Would buying a second hand PS3 console for cheap at this stage be worth it? I imagine most of the consoles are old enough now to have their own problems, and getting a brand new one seems pretty difficult these days

Iā€™m still about ready to part with mineā€¦
