Less than a week away now!
I've done a fairly successful job at avoiding most videos so the experience will be as fresh as possible.
I do that by default. My time isn't disposable enough to waste on hours of previews and numerous written impressions.
No, she went from TechTV host to VP of Google. That's what I remember her best as.
Pre-ordered Alien in 4K. Coming out late April. Walmart.com had it for only 14 dollars.

Loving the huge amounts of projecting going on in this thread.
Apparently that light is controlled by a graphic setting called "flare" that can be turned on or off.
Not on the consoles. The only way you can disable it on the PS4 is by uninstalling the game and playing it without any patches or network support. Now that I think about it, the fact that they sneaked this onto a day one patch, making it unknown to reviewers who might have affected the early sales (even a little bit) makes it even worse.
The worst thing is that most people don't care. Some act like you're perverted for wanting bums in games and tell you to watch porn instead. Comments like this:
"It is pathetic that you guys care for a censored butt. Go watch porn or something instead."
"Lol only creepy pervs care about this. Oh no! They blurred out a digital butt! Boooo bad guy Soyny! Lol"
Gamers are really immature.
Sony Computer Entertainment got so pretentious after moving their headquarters to Cali. I miss the good old days, when they didn't bat an eye at sex (God of War).
I got up to mission 5 yesterday night. Fairly happy with it so far. I just wish it had slightly fewer cutscenes.
I wish I didn't have to drag my PC to the living room again today, but playing it on a monitor is nothing like playing it on a TV. Been thinking about building a second PC so that I can use this one in the living room for Japanese controller games. I mostly play Japanese games now anyway, and most are better on controllers. As I said in another thread, Japan is crushing western console devs. It's why I prefer my Switch over my PS4. The God of War reboot, The Last of Us and Horizon don't even come close to what Capcom, FromSoftware and Nintendo are doing.
I haven't grinned with pleasure so much at a game in a long time. Love the cheese.
I also love that you can now shoot while running and the way using the arm while moving forward now launches you into a leaping punch.
The dodges look so freaking cool.
Sweet, I just got my key! Right on my birthday! Really looking forward to coming home from work in ten hours. I don't normally do this, but I think I'm gonna drag my PC to the living room for this. I set up my PS4 controller with a Bluetooth dongle a few days ago in preparation.
@dipset said in Are We in a Golden Age of Videogames?:
I'm not one to advocate people retrying games they don't like, I hard quit Spider-Man three hours in because I didn't like all the radio towers, BUT God of War keeps getting better and better as you play. At the mid-way point it has some serious fan service and is revealed effectively through the camera not using any cutting. Its a BIG WOW moment. Then the game ends hinting in some of the directions you suggest. The game also does test the sort of character change you say isn't believable in Kratos. They show how and why he is the way he is today and he is tested from going back to his old ways.
The game was doing A LOT of set up (a whole games worth) for what's to come. Its getting bigger, crazier, and without spoiling it for people who haven't played it - its story/mythology is going into uncharted territory.
I quit some time after acquiring the Blades of Chaos and first being haunted by Athena, which is part of the fanservice you're talking about. I didn't buy his transformation or the change in tone. It's really pretentious of SIE Santa Monica to pretend this series is and was high art.
