Okay thanks. I think based on my buddy hyping it up and how you are explaining it that it's worth the $13 on PSN to grab.

Damn I didn't know that, that's not too bad of an option. I won't even have enough time in the 48 hours after I get it to decide if I like it or not though so that wouldn't work for me anyways.

So my buddy had been talking to me about Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and how he's playing it now on Gamepass on his XSX. I was hating hard and telling him how I don't like those kinda games and welcome to the 2010's. Then I saw it was on sale on PSN for $13 and youtube some videos of it only to realize it's not what I thought it was lol. I then realized I was thinking of KOTOR and I hate games like Mass Effect and KOTOR and it's old as shit. Then I saw Fallen Order looked like Uncharted with the climbing and shit. And then I heard it's like Dark Souls. As someone who isn't a Star Wars fan (I don't hate it or love it, it's just kind of whatever to me), is that game worth checking out if I liked Demon's Souls?

While I don't really care about reviews and scores of games, Mario Golf is getting very mediocre reviews. It's reminding me a lot of Mario Aces, which I thought sucked. I bought it and sold it within a week. I'm still buying it tomorrow but if it sucks like Mario Aces I'll just sell it for like $45 or so and chalk up the $15 rental as an L.

Iron Galaxy ruined that game so if it does get updated, I sure as shit hope IG and Keits is as far away from it as possible.

Oh damn so Ubisoft is actually making the full game? Thought it was just their engine being used.

Why is that video of Avatar the first I've heard about that game? That game looks sick as shit!

Finished Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart tonight. The end sequence is epic. So much shit going on and a long battle. And I immediately started challenge mode after. Game is so good.

Yeah that sounds like it's not very fun. But at least it seems to have been called a focus test versus a beta lol.

Ooooh okay it's been in development that long, then that explains last gen and makes sense. That is a shame though that it's been bad feedback. It's tough to take that concept and try to make 3D stages though. Like he's super fast so you'd have to make the world similar to accommodate for that, and that seems like a challenge to do. 3D sonic in general has been tough to pull off.

That's a shame it's being developer for last gen. It will definitely be held back in some way due to that. I mean a 2022 game that has support for consoles developed in the mid 2010's when there is a new generation just makes me sad. I wonder what it would be like to have a Sonic game that is "Mario Odyssey" like.

Well yeah, that is my point. It's your general person having no clue WTF an IP address really is and how meaningless it is.

How is it a privacy issue if it's showing your your IP address? If you don't want it broadcast, just don't stream. If you are concerned about people knowing your IP address, pull the plug on your router and you will get a new one when you plug it back in. The people worried about their "privacy" probably have more information out there on social media they should be worrying about than an IP address.

Here's my current setup: Killer Instinct 2 currently has a Raspberry Pi3 B in there with a pi2jamma interfacing with the cabinet. So it's a MAME cabinet right now. I can put it back to stock very easily though once I fix my KI2 board. I also have KI1, MK1, and MK2 that are all working and plug/play easily into it. Maximum Force cabinet was a pretty big project. I have an 8 way JAMMA switcher in there and there are 7 boards inside of the cabinet. I built "shelves" to mount them all to inside of the cabinet. The 8th slot is external and I have a longer cable running on top of the Rush 2049 SE cabinet right next to it, so I can swap games on the 8th slot without having to go inside the cabinet and open it up. I have like 15 or 16 light gun games now I think. Then both Rush 2049 SE cabinets are just 100% stock and linked together. I don't really have more room down there or else I'd probably get a trackball cabinet.

You aren't going to lose progress in those 3 days at all. I've been going to the gym mon-thurs for like the past decade and it's been just fine.

I'm not following how that is "one of the worst bugs ever". It's literally just spitting out some debug information and nothing more. Is it just because your average person doesn't understand what an IP address really is?

Going to give it a go without any avatars and see if it's tough without quick recognition.

Nah. I hate animated avatars and was actually looking yesterday at how to disable animated gifs on Invasion forum but it's not possible without having to basically hide all gifs. I may actually just use adblock to hide avatars on this site so i don't have to see them lol. I want to see what it's like but having to read names without quick recognizing an image may be tough. I already have the animated background image blocked.

Yeah the shotgun is great especially once you get it up to max level. But it's best for enemies that you are messing with close range. I honestly haven't even used the regular pistol in a long ass time until last night when I did the final gold challenge, and it was just because you need A LOT of ammo. When leveled all the way up too, that thing is fast and shoots a lot of bullets doing a lot of damage. I am the opposite with melee. I hardly use it lol.

Dude the plant sprinkler and Mr. Fungi are probably the 2 best weapons in the game IMO. Every big battle, where I'm not just trying to level up weapons I haven't leveled up yet, I just deploy those (as well as Glove of Doom) and just kind of sit back. I have all 3 of those weapons fully leveled up and it's ridiculous what they do to the enemies. After I have those deployed I just sit back and use one of my weapons I don't have leveled up and just start picking people off with them until I'm out of ammo, then change to another weapon I don't have leveled up. If I run out of ammo for those weapons, then I change to the big guns that I have leveled up already and clean up,

I can tell you that something in the game triggers the silver arena to open. It doesn't just open when you finish the bronze. Same with the gold one. I didn't have the bronze finished before I saw the silver one open up, and then I finished both bronze and silver and then gold still wasn't opened until a later part in the game. The shotgun one on bronze was a lot harder than I expected a bronze challenge to be, even with a fully leveled up shotgun. Then gold has one like that as well. I got through the gold ones easier than the bronze and silver, although the final gold one is ridiculous lol. I'm also on the hardest difficulty. But at the point I'm at, with specific weapons leveled up, the normal battles you get into are pretty much a piece of cake lol. I just deploy a bunch of stuff and kind of watch and then pick off other enemies as necessary. And it never gets old. The amount of shit going on onscreen in R&C with the framerate holding up the whole time is simply incredible. It's one of those things you really have to experience and see first hand to appreciate.

On another note, I'm nearing the end of Ratchet and Clank and I'm sad about that. I have collected everything you can collect (at least before beating the game) so now I have to just complete it. I plan on playing it another time to max out the levels of all weapons and stuff. I probably have like 2/3 of them maxed out at this point.

I thought the fact you couldn't turn them off (at least before I stopped playing it) a problem. Like they built them into the core gameplay which was a huge mistake IMO.

LOL I completely forgot about gems. Whoever thought that was a good idea to not only implement but actually put in the final game hopefully was fired for that decision. And the aesthetics of it as well, how the players glowed. Everything about it was awful.

I opted to preorder mine from Best Buy just to get that stupid Mario Golf golf bag tag thing. I'll go grab it around 10am when they open Friday, although I won't be playing it until later when I'm done working.
