@BenBrocka Did you see that Destiny's endgame raids are only going to be playable with friends?

Ben Brocka

@FAE yeah, teams of up to six

I hope more people I know grab it on PS4 so I can fill that many slots

FAE

@BenBrocka Yeah, I don't think I even have 5 friends with a PS4 let alone 5 that can be on at the same time.

Ben Brocka

I know a few people considering one just for destiny

FAE

I might, but they're spread across 3 different communities and don't know each other.

My favorite review is from "Buttcakes":

From the sophisticated, beautifully executed language to the colorful descriptions of every scenery to the stunning depth of the character development, Tyra Banks' masterpiece continuously filled my every orifice with literary gold.

Wipqozn

@FAE Correct.

FAE

@Wipqozn Bleeeeegh whyyyy

Wipqozn

However there will be no water combat, so that's a huge plus. I don't mind 3DS only if there's no water combat to worry about.

@FAE Because Capcom

MH is traditionally a portable series in JApan, and is really popular as a portable series there.

Because portable gaming and local play is more popular, for reasons.

@Sterno Isn't it great?

@Sterno I finally got to level 3 of Zone 3 earlier and died :(

@Sterno Also I may or may not have 9+ hours in this game since yesterday...

g'night all

Ben Brocka

PS Now beta is live. Prices are interesting...doesnt' seem like devs can go lower than $3 for 4 hours right now which makes the low rental periods seem relatively pricy. $8-$15 for 90 days doesn't seem too bad, though there's not many "big games" included in the beta

I'd personally be most interested in a super short super cheap rental as a self-service demo, really, since no one actually makes them. I thought they were going to make demos using PS Now anyway though

Fluttershy

01:23

@BenBrocka The problem with the $8-$15 is that you can, for games like Darksiders, pick them up cheaper on PSN. Darksiders is only $6. :P

I'm hoping they figure out a decent subscription thinger.

Ben Brocka

01:37

@Fluttershy most of the games are at least half of their full PSN price. Plus people with only a PS4 (50% of owners) can't buy them on PSN anyway

and most of these games (most games in general) can easily be beaten within the 90 day limit, so for people that want to play rather than own (rental people) it doesnt' seem like it'd be too bad

And there are very fiw "big" games to test with, Sony really should have chipped in more than Killzone 3. At least do Resistance 1 or some older first parties

I'd toss in a few bucks to try Uncharted 1, never got that one

GnomeSlice

eeee

Ben Brocka

@GnomeSlice you checked out Velocity Ultra?

GnomeSlice

@BenBrocka I've heard about it, I know it's the one where you can teleport around.

I'm not big on shmups most of the time.

You can get it on bundlestars right now bundlestars.com/all-bundles/firestorm-bundle

along with Explodemon and InFlux

Ben Brocka

01:53

It's...a shmup as much as Mighty Switch Force is a Mega Man game

it really doesn't play much like a shmup other than controls, very few things shhoot at you. It's more like a speedrun reflex game. I like it a lot. And it's in the humble weekly but I got it for Vita a while ago

and I'm checking out the sequel right now
