thanks for the heads up. i have a chocobo for a commando and i can't imagine much else being better than him since he's a staple of the series. I'll look those characters you mentioned up.

FUCK YOU PERSONA 4 GOD FUCKING DAMN IT I FUCKING HATE VIDEO GAMES AGAIN FUCK THIS BULLSHIT.

Thought I finally got the true ending after all that bollocks where you have to follow a very specific set of dialogue options to unlock last section of the game and doing all that shit, then while I'm flicking through this P4 artbook I just bought because it was starting to grow on me I find out there's an entire fucking LAST LAST LAST boss with MORE MORE MORE story that I didn't get to fucking see. Who the FUCK tells a story like this? I'm so fucking pissed off again, this looks like it'd have been a MUCH cooler last fight.

Fuck Persona 4. This artbook is going to a friend who still likes this pleb shit instead.

I actually liked the path to the true ending. It was much better than that stupid dialog tree to get out of the bad endings. I had to look up a walkthrough for that part, and the fact that I only ran into one huge spoiler is probably a miracle.

Aw, Rainjar. You're adorable.

That's cool you liked it so much Kay. I think Into the Nexus proves that the North Carolina studio really is capable of making a great Ratchet title. I know Brian was involved in this one, but I think the previous two titles were more held back by concept than the new studio.

I finished Remember Me this morning. The art, world and music really were top-notch stuff. The gameplay had some cool ideas, but was only okay. The traversal is that really forgettable ledge hopping that has become the norm these days. I wish people would look to Sands of Time and Tomb Raider Anniversary when trying to do this style of platforming. We'd all be better for it. The create-a-combo system was a cool idea, but a little too limited. It did grow on me as the game continued and the strategy became a bigger part, but once you set your combos a certain way that is solved too. The memory remixes were pretty great. Really interesting concept. A bit unsettling to do at times, but very neat and a fun little puzzle aspect to the game. Wish there were more of them. The game is like alarmingly linear. I rather enjoy linear games, but with this world, it was a bit disappointing because it just begs to be explored, but you can't. I enjoyed it overall though. I might pick up a cheap copy some day to add to the collection.

Also, I'm really liking Gamefly. I'm a little stingy with buying new games and since I don't trade in anything, I have to be a little choose-y. So it's been fun to play some games that might have been bargain bin only type games. It's a little weird not being able to keep them since I always do typically, but I can always buy them later I figure if I want. I have Bioshock Infinite coming in next. Should be here before Christmas.

The jetpack was awesome but I wish it had a shift gear kind of thing. Let you go at faster speeds but have less controls. For combat it worked perfectly but I wasn't a fan of the escape the sewer bit. Hope it's in the next Ratchet whether they change it or not.

Postal 2 is the video games.

I went into a corner shop to get people to sign a petition to make a politician play violent video games then accidentally miss-clicked and pulled out my shotgun, which had a cat I stole from the neighbour pushed onto the barrel of the gun. The muslim store clerk, that wore a head garb and a short skirt, reacted to this by pulling out an M16 then started running at me screaming "ALALALALALALA". This then turned into a fight between me, her, and a cop, while people in the store ran around screaming as I used the dedicated piss button to move people out the way.

This actually happened.
Ingame.
Unscripted.

GOTYAYEY.

I just want to enjoy da vidja gaems mayn ;__;.

Keeping the artbook though, it's a sweet ass artbook.

We have this big ass blanket that we sleep with. It's thicker than hell, and traps heat in like an igloo. Sometimes at night when I'm sleeping under it, I get so hot I have nightmares. They're random nightmares, but I'll wake up hotter than hell and confused. After so many nightmares I started to realize it was the blanket that was doing it, trapping in so much heat making me have these crazy nightmares. Why do I bring this up? Well I call the blanket "Nightmare Inducer", and I think it would be a fantastic weapon in the Ratchet and Clank universe. Imagine spraying enemies with the "Nightmare Inducer" and they run around screaming saying things like "Spiders are everywhere, they're everywhere!!!!" I think it would be a hilarious, fun, and fitting weapon for the R and C world. They don't have a weapon like this do they? I've been living with the nightmare inducer for so long I don't know if I created the name or stole it from Ratchet.

If you made a Ratchet weapon, what would it do?

Bringing my ps3 to my parents' house was such a smart move. I can play ACIV over the break.

I also bought Tearaway last night. Love it.

My copy of Tearaway will arrive sometime later today according to Amazon. Cant wait to try it out. Until then I'm going to try and play some more Demon's Souls. Should be able to finish it up in the next few days. At the final area but want to go back for some more items I missed first.

I've been neglecting Tearaway with all the Blag Flag pirating going down on my PS4 right now. The only real beef I have with the game is the underwater bullshit. It seems every AAA title HAS to throw in some half-baked ideas to disrupt an otherwise enjoyable experience.

I got Bioshock Infinite today. Hoping to give it a try after MNF, but maybe tomorrow morning if I'm too tired. Still working on Guacamelee too. Has some surprisingly challenging platforming bits. Good game.

Last of Us playthrough number three underway. Still love it as much as the first and second playthroughs.

Keep your filthy trophy hunting in the trophy hunting thread *throws cane at you*

No one has a Ratchet weapon idea? You bores.

@Bret: Isn't there already one that makes enemies dance? That's all you need!

I'm hoping PSN doesn't go down tonight and tomorrow. It's working fine for me right now but Uplay (stupid) was down when I first booted Black Flag. That may still be down for all I know. I know I'm playing without it and the stuff I redeemed (outfit, mainly) is still there so I don't know if it makes a difference or not.

I look forward to you guys showing off what goodies you get, if any. Mine was the PS4 and Black Flag so merry Christmas to me! (still hoping I get a case of lightbulbs though. My mother asked me if I wanted anything for when I go see her, that and socks were all I could think of. She probably did get me some like a boss

One that turns enemies into ponies. Wait, that would only make things worse

I've been playing the Last of Us. Really enjoying it, and I don't suck too badly. I can't believe I'm already 48% through; I guess time flies when you're having fun. Should be able to finish it before the end of the break

Reading some of the weapons Kay was talking about makes me think my Nightmare Inducer might be in the game! We will see tomorrow when I boot it up.

Got so hooked on Persona 3 last night I actually fell asleep playing it. Eyes slowly closed until I accidentally fell asleep, started having this weird dream then towards the end of it I could start hearing "BABYBABYBABYBABYOHBABYBABYBABY" in the background. Woke up to find my face on the Vita with me being in a battle for 4-5 hours listening to that song in my sleep the entire time. Truly horrifying.

From what I remember the R&C guns were pretty fucking crazy as it was. I'd be down for a gun that turns people into orange juice though.

Man, Sonic Racing on Vita is very fast and unexpected. No wonder you guys highly recommended it on PS3 (which I've still yet to break the shrinkwrap on)

I played one track with 3 toons on 3 difficulties for about 20 minutes, and found it to be the best titular Sonic game since 2. Shows me I should trust this forum more instead of thinking you guys are all full of shit fanboys/girls.

Well, I'm full of shit, but those other guys...most definitely. Got some games on steam mostly including Metro: Last Light which I'm digging so far. Other games I got include the new Splinter Cell, FTL (THANKS BRAH), and Outlast. I also got Ni No Kuni for PS3...probably wont start it for a while, but I'm glad i have it!

I ended up getting Assassin's Creed 4 on PS4 as a gift. So if anyone wants to we could start a thread to discuss our pirate adventures together. I noticed about four people from here playing it on my friends list recently. I haven't gotten to do much pirate stuff yet, but the map seems really awesome.

I also tried a bit of Bioshock Infinite and the shooting/combat doesn't feel all that good to me so far. World is cool though. Hoping the game grows on me.

I recommend playing it in a style that is NOT cautious. Like just blaze in shooting and throwing powers around like it's your birthday. I mean...you shouldn't have to tell someone how to enjoy something but I don't know, maybe that way will get more enjoyment from you?

Also gets better when you get more powers but I'm definitely on the side that the gameplay isn't that great. It has it's moments and Vigors are fun but there are better shooters out there. The games great because of the world and story, not the gameplay.

Yeah...which makes me hope for a Deus Ex type gameplay in a Bioshock like world. I would literally die and go to heaven.
