pretty new to ps3 stuff, how long can i expect to wait before the last of us goes down to ~£15 on amazon? it's still at £35 5 weeks after release, is this normal? also is there anywhere else that sells it cheaper or is amazon the best place?
― NI, Monday, 22 July 2013 16:43 (ten years ago) link
You've picked a bad example really, sub-£20 used prices usually take I guess 6 to 8 weeks these days, for the majority of mid tier titles. But TLOU is one of those big system-seller titles that could end up holding its value for 6-8 months. See also GTA games, anything first party nintendo, each CoD right up until the next year's CoD comes out, etc etc.

Jim's right in this case.. probably have to wait until Black Friday for a good deal
― Nhex, Monday, 22 July 2013 16:48 (ten years ago) link
ah thanks guys. i thought TLOU might be different as it doesn't seem to have much replay value (tried to avoid reading too much about it but it seems to veer more towards heavy rain style story-telling than GTA4?). what's black friday? was wondering about little game trading shops but i can't imagine them being any better than amazon/ebay
― NI, Monday, 22 July 2013 16:55 (ten years ago) link
day/weekend after Thanksgiving there's a lot of deals to be had. you never know though, there might be a sale in the meantime

There are plenty of quick-time moments like heavy rain, but there is also plenty of combat, and if you bump up to a harder difficulty where resource management is more important, a second playthrough will be very enjoyable imo

I thought it was OK. I wanted to play Bit Trip Runner 2 and Hitman Absolution isn't that old. Star Wars Pinball should be fine for anyone who's not already on the Pinball FX/Zen Pinball 2 train.

I played Divekick tonight at a local meetup - man, it's ridiculous that made it to a full-fledged game! Amazingly stupid, adult swim-style. Probably more fun with alcohol and more friends and strangers, I gather

anybody tried this DYAD game? on sale, seems rezish or space giraffeish on the surface but idk
― waterface down (jjjusten), Wednesday, 28 August 2013 21:01 (ten years ago) link
it got some critical notice when it came out - i might grab it at the price. it did eventually come out on PC tho
― Nhex, Wednesday, 28 August 2013 22:01 (ten years ago) link
i didn't like dyad very much at all, it's got a cool vibe but the controls are garbage.

Anyone know what's wrong with my system?
Seems to be intermittent reading disks. So will get so far and then randomly just stop reading and generally crash.
Do i need new laser?

i played heavy rain through to the end and kinda enjoyed it but afterwards felt bleugh about the corny heavy-handed writing and the crappy barely-there gameplay. is this beyond two souls just another one of those or does it improve on it? (weirdly i remember liking farenheit a lot more than HR, better writing maybe)

Poker night 2, if I had paid for you and dealt with all this buggy bullshit I would be freaking the fuck out right now
― ACA: not bad, needs more death panels (jjjusten), Monday, 21 October 2013 04:06 (ten years ago) link
xp i haven't played Heavy Rain yet, but Farenheit had terrible writing - but it was terrible like a schlocky B-movie, and kind of entertaining up until the last third
― Nhex, Monday, 21 October 2013 04:31 (ten years ago) link
Haha otm
― Bitch Fantastic (DJP), Monday, 21 October 2013 05:59 (ten years ago) link
i adored fahrenheit until the end (when a cool serial killer detective murder story turned into yet another occult secret energy weapon blah blah blah), so Nhex otm; i REALLY REALLY wanted to love heavy rain as well but, well, 1) dead children and 2) barely there gameplay made for a fairly dreary experience
i went on a binge this weekend and downloaded:
1) GTA52) The Last of Us3) Okami HD4) The Unfinished Swan
― TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Monday, 21 October 2013 10:31 (ten years ago) link
oh and:
5) RAIN
― TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Monday, 21 October 2013 16:23 (ten years ago) link
I have already decided I'm not going play much more Unfinished Swan. It's an awesome idea but - and here it's similar to Heavy Rain - they sort of forgot to spend some time on making it fun.
― TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Monday, 21 October 2013 16:24 (ten years ago) link
nhex, if you thought fahrenheit was bad you're gona HATE heavy rain. la noire level ponderous rubbishness. any word on beyond two souls yet? it's a reach i know but really hoping it makes good on the v v promising 'film-cum-game' premise. similarly, is last of us like HR or fallout or what? dying to play but been burned so many times lately (think i'm poss expecting too much of game-makers)
― NI, Monday, 21 October 2013 17:31 (ten years ago) link
word is that Beyond is even more diminishing returns than HR. sigh. (i know i'm gonna play these both anyway)
i really enjoyed Fahrenheit, just the whole last magic junk totally botched what was set up so well at the beginning, like Tracer said
I think Last of Us is more like Uncharted, it's by the same people
― Nhex, Monday, 21 October 2013 18:15 (ten years ago) link
the rivaling protagonist thing was SUCH a good idea in Fahrenheit, it's a really shame that nobody has crafted an entire game of that (even Fahrenheit itself)
