Look @svjiminfxv, not only have we had sevral threads on this topic already, you yourself posted a thread with literally this exact title only a couple of months ago. I'd be OK with a thread being posted that's about the same topic as an exsisting thread if the other thread is really old and not been posted to in a long time, but were taling about a repeat of a thread you posted that's weeks old. Please use the search fuction to check for exsisting threads, especially if the topic is a common subject like this.

I'm going to lock this topic, but before I do I want to make it clear to @Heatman that you have done nothing wrong. I'm locking the thread because having this thread here open to new replies is an invite for some very bad traffic. Spammers and scammers will be lead to this like shifty lawyers chasing ambulances leaving an industrial accident. Putting it simply, having this thread open is an invite for trouble. Besides, there is only one right way to approach this idea, and that is don't do it all. Whether you're buying or selling, don't do it. As a buyer, it's too easy to get scammed by having your newly purchased account just locked off from you by the seller thanks to things like two step notification. As a seller (doing this honestly), it could expose very sensitive information about yourself to people who shouldn't be trusted with anything. For example, you would have to surrender control of the email account you used to set up the gaming account. And then there's the point that every gaming account service would count such a transaction as a violation of thier TOS, making it very likely that the account being sold will banned before long, landing the victem of the scam, becasue it is a scam, into potentially a lot of trouble. I'm trying to be kind @Heatman, but meerly bringing this topic up without the caveat of "This is a terrible idea, don't do it" is very concerning. So given how you don't seem to undertand just how bad and dangerous an idea this is, I must tell you to not discuss this again. And if it wasn't clear to everyone else, don't buy or sell gaming accounts under any circomstances. Thread locked.

I ended up sending Valentine's Day in hospital. Was admitted late Sunday night/ early Monday morning with some frightening pains in my chest and left shoulder. After the tests, it turned out to be a chest infection causing pneumonia. It was the inflamed tissues of my lung rubbing against my scest cavity that was causing the pain. A blessing in desguise really as it help the doctors catch the pneumonia very early. So yes, I've had better weeks, but I'm being discharged today. A few more days of medication and things should be back to normal.

If they designed it like that, what would stop people from uninstalling and reinstalling the game over and over to play as all the characters without buying the full game? Clearly, it doesn't work like that. I can't be bothered to argue with you, I'm just trying to help you realize there isn't anything you can do.

Since when was Ghost of Tsushima a soulslike?

I genuinely believe in a phycological tic with these steaming services whare you simply don't value the content they offer as much as stuff you have bought. It's good to realize that you don't technically "own" any of the content in these services, but it sets one up perfectly for a trap. A trap that you're ready to relinquish basic buyers rights simply because it's digital, and we all have to stand up and say, "No. I bought this, I own it". A recent topic from @Kane99 discussing how Spec Ops: The Line had been removed from digital storefronts indirectly illustrates the problem. When a game, movie or TV series gets removed from these services is one thing, but what if for some stupid reason it gets removed completely from digital sale? Physical media isn't the solution. As mush as I support physical media the fact is it degrades, breaks and increaces in rarity over time. That's what great about digital support. It's reliable and accessable. Steam and other digital storefonts can pleage support for delisted games all the want, but why believe a company that might not exist for all of our lifetimes? What if Steam suddenly ended? And that's assuming the games even work with Steam active. Steam literaly sells games right now that literally don't work out the gate, not without workarounds and modifications. That's happend to me several times, I buy a game, that's been on steam for years, and it literally doesn't work. But back to the point. That phycolgial tic is the bait for the hook. However, if somebody is irresponsible enough to buy into these services without making use of them, at least some the blame must land on themselfs. Whilst there is no doubt that these companies will happily exploit the ever increasing confusion of the sheer number and complexities of this nevstreaming world. People have to take responsibility for this shit on thier own. However, none of that means you should indulge in every game, movie, TV show, musical piece or whatever just because you can and you paid for it. I doubt, for example,anyone plays enough games to exploit Gamepass to the point where they play literally everything the service has to offer, but if one gets what they value out of it, go nuts! If you don't, cancel it. Just make a contoius effort to pay for only what you want.

OP stands for "over powered".

Pasta because my homemade cheese sauce is the tits 😎

Before I address the topic I need to ask, is there particular reason you posted this to the PC sub-forum? On the face of it this looks like a topic with relevance to players on any platform, not just PC. If there is no good reason for this being here I will move this to the General Gaming Forum as that seems like a better fit. On topic, I've never been a fan of short/mid range rapid fire weapons like SMG's. I'm never accurate with them and they bleed ammo. I'm more a fan of single shot power and accuracy over a high fire rate. If I wanted a short range hip fire weapon, I'd have a shotgun instead. The one gun of that type that I have liked is the Spray n' Pray from Fallout 4 mostly because you don't need to be accurate with it and it's OP as hell.

I removed your double post. Back to the topic. Now that the game can't be bought on any digital store, I'm sorry to say that you should expect the price of the game on disk to go up if anything. The game is really good, though. I won't say much, but you'll first think it's just another military shooter when it really isn't.

Upon seeing this thread, I immediately started downloading the game from Steam in fear of if being removed completely, even though deep downI knew it would be OK if the game in in one's library. I just wanted to be sure. So if you already own the game from one of these stores, you can still download and play it, it just can't be bought anymore. This really is a shame. Because of a couple of old, licensed music tracks, people can no longer buy one of the very best games of it's type that has ever been released. If for thier own reason people don't own it or can't play it on the old PS3 or Xbox 360 hardware, what option do people have now other than to pirate it? It's technically abandonware from this point unless 2K fix this problem and remove or replace the music with the expired licence so they can re-list it. The problem is they clearly won't. 2K obviously knew this was coming, likely for years, and did nothing about it. So as far as I'm concerned, 2K have no right to complain about the game being shared for free by others unless they sort it out.

EA knowing about this would be EA suing, I'm quite sure. Or perhaps they're not bothering because EA could give two shits about Burnout anymore. However, the impression I got from that admittingly vague trailer was that this might be less of a racing game and more of a drift competition simulator. And yes, that is a thing: If that's the case, than this might be just different enough from EA's Burnout that they might be OK, but if Nintendo can even consider a lawsuit against PocketPair over Palworld, I don't see how Midnight Works can hope to get away with this. I see the name of this game being changed at some point.

I brought up the purchasable tickets because it's clear to me that the trial tickets you receive for the trial version redeem in a similar way. Koei Tecmo wouldn't allow people to renew those trail tickets by reinstalling the game for the same reason that they wouldn't allow people to renew the officer tickets by reinstalling the game. Like I said, your only way around this is to use a differnts PSN annoying or play the game on a different platform

I admit I had to look this up, so my understanding of this has only been developed in response to this topic. If anyone else wants to offer advice from a more first hand experience, please do so. In the meantime, here is a link to Koei Tecmo America's website explaining how this works for anyone who wants to check it out. If I understand the system correct, these tickets are redeemable like a single use online purchase to let you try out whatever characters you want for the trial version of the game rather than have the those characters chosen for you. So like any DLC or microtransaction, your selections are tied to your PSN account, not the game data itself. In other words, sorry, but I don't think there's anything you can do about this. Remember, these character tickets are purchasable, so there is no way that Koei Tecmo would allow people to just renew those tickets by reinstalling the game, it would never work like that. The only thing I can suggest is to try playing the game with a different PSN account or on another platform.

Hi @Heatman, nice to see you again. As good a game as Hogwarts Legacy is, it's difficult to see what category the game had a real chance at winning. The design and music were directly taken or at least heavily inspired by the movies, so it wouldn't have made sense to be nominated for anything related to those and let's be honest, there were better RPG's and story-centric games this year. I'm not saying the controversy surrounding JK Rowling had nothing to do with the game's lack of nominations at TGA, but it there were both better and worse games that did what Hogwarts Legacy did better, even if it was in only one or two areas

I feel like an idiot, but I can't find the "Sign up" option on you website. I an see the login, but not sign up. Should I just be trying to "log in" with a new email to trigger the sign up option or something?

Tell you what, I'll lock the thread, but leave it up. The the information posted here might still be useful to somebody even if the conversation itself has nowhere to go.

I'll tell you exactly when it was the last time we got a good Terminator game. It was in 2019 when Teyon, the developer behind RoboCop Rouge City, made one. This bluder is something that's bound to happen when someone is intent posting new topics supuriosly and very little else and it wouldn't have happend if you cared enough about the topic to research it first. Take time to respond to others and actually care about the topics you post rather than just posting for the sake of it. There are no grounds to lock this thread, but given the erroneous nature of this topic, I'm not sure where it can go from here. So, I'll leave it up to you @Kane99, whare do you want to go from here?

I just noticed this morning that the follow up to Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, Hellblade 2: Senua's Saga launches in a couple of days (January 21st 2024), so this is a good time to get I to the franchise.

Batteries don't last forever. They loose thier ability to retain a charge after being charged and depleted so many times. So whilst its true gaming increases the power output of (what I assume is) a laptop making a battery deplete faster, that's not actually the problem.

Try Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice. It's only around 8 hours, but whilst I'm not going to say anything more it's an 8 hours you will be better for. It's technically not a horror game, but I must tell you it does have that kind of ambiance.

@Kennysplash If you've made a double post post, report it so one of the mods can remove it.

The general concensus as far as I know ia was that Hogwarts legacy was pretty stable at launch. I didn't hear any horror stories and the game worked perfectly fine for me, and I'm not using a powerful PC either.

I actually find the very question "Will we ever have something like E3 for fans again?" questionable as E3 was never meant for fans in the first place. It was meant for the press and journalists to meet with developers, publishers and console manufactures to get a look at upcoming games and hardware that would then be reported on by said journalist in news outlets, newspapers, online publications and magazines. The turn from a press only event to basically a glorified convention was the start of E3's demise. not to mention we have TGA's and the rise of developers having thier own showcases and announcement events going on regularly as well as actual conventions and festivals, so we already have replacements for E3. And honestly @Kane99, I don't see why we couldn't have had this discussed on the thread discussing E3 officially coming to an end that you already started. Do you realize it's been nearly year since you replied to a thread instead of starting a new one? I'm not saying your braking any rules, but forums are about engagement, not just putting up new topics and ignoring everyone else.

They could call it the Xbox Steven and it would make as much sense as any other name they've used.
