Cliff Hanger Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 It has now been SIX WEEKS since my PS4 crapped out. In that time I've returned the original unit for warranty repairs, only to receive a replacement that was bricked with the same power supply unit failure within an hour of hooking it up, sent it back AGAIN, only for Sony to leave my apartment number off the shipping label, resulting in a "delivery" that apparently involved them just dumping the box off in front of the (closed at the time) complex office, Fed Ex taking a week to try to recover the package, giving it up as lost and telling me to contact Sony, and then SONY doing a trace thru Fed Ex (can't they just follow up on my case number and get it verified that yes, they traced and failed to recover?) which is now at 11 days and counting with no answer. At this point I'd really just as soon have Fed Ex give me the price of the console and put that into PC upgrades for when Star Citizen is ready.

Tabe Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 IGN has published their review of Valiant Hearts, the WWI-themed action puzzler that intrigued the heck out of me at E3. And...they liked it a lot. The game looks incredibly beautiful and looks to have a very moving story. I doubt I'll pay full price for this one but you can be sure I'll pick it up when it inevitably hits PS+ for $5 or less: IGN Review of Valiant Hearts: 7.7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fresh Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Ugh. Nintendo, you goons, why isn't my friends lost shared between the 3DS and the WiiU? Drop this friends code nonsense from the 3DS. Fuckers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BurningBeard Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 I got a PS3 on the cheap at the weekend with a bunch of games. Started playing one of them called Spec Ops: The Line just expecting it to be another thoughtless run n gun game. Nope, it's really fucking dark and has an Apocalypse Now descent into madness vibe. I did a mission yesterday where I had to drop phosphorous bombs on a platoon of rogue US troopers THEN walk through the aftermath - burnt soldiers crawling around, crying. One was still alive and simply asked 'why'. Grim That's an excellent game. I seem to recall hating the ending though. Which ending did you choose?

Big Fresh Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Since I'm a stupid man and cannot be trusted with my own money... I bought a Wii U today along with Mario Kart. You might as well just buy JT and I XBones and then all of your problems will be solved If I do, you gotta play Sunset Overdrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Fresh Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 I forgot to mention I went to Gamestop about 20 miles away for it. Know why? They had a pink one. EDIT: Also, it's an XL. Which was more expensive. But I had to have it because I don't wanna lose track of characters on a regular screen. Guys... I need an intervention. THIS IS A CRY FOR HELP!

Cliff Hanger Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Got the 3DS version of Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark. I've only played 2 stages so far, it's a decent Fire Emblem-style TRPG (much closer to FE than Super Robot Wars). I hope to get away from the movie-only cast fairly soon and use some of the FoC cast.

Cliff Hanger Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Yup, the console revs are standard 3P shooters, but on 3DS it's Fire Convoy Emblem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincey Greene Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 I just got my (refurb from Nintendo, $200) Wii U. I got Donkey Kong, Mario 3d world, Wind Waker, Assassin's Creed Black Flag and the pack-in Nintendo Land. Other than Black Flag having a shit frame rate I'm impressed thus far. There's something primally awesome about finally getting HD Nintendo games. That said, I don't think I'd wanna pay retail for it. If the $200 refurb wasn't available and I didn't have a $100 Best Buy gift card for the games, it would only be $100 more for a much more complete PS4.

ultimoDANK Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Shovel Knight sounds awesome. Now it only the 3DS and the WiiU had cross-buy. Just saw Castlevania 3 is hitting both eshops this week as well. That's an easy $5 purchase right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lamp, broken circa 1988 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 RBI Baseball got the music wrong, so, don't buy RBI Baseball until they get the music right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
