I’ve been wanting to buy the game for a while. The sale value has held up for an old generation game on disc. It won’t fall below $20, for a game 2 generations ago. Is the game that good?
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.

Officer tickets are the ones that you have to purchase, which let you play the entirety of the story mode with the purchased characters. Trial tickets are the ones you get when starting the game for the first time, and I think you can only play the beginning of the story with the selected character(s).
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.

The last video game I played was Hogwarts Legacy. It's one of the best video games of last year 2023 even though it didn't come close in winning best game of the year. I've always been a Harry Potter fan, it's part of the reason why I had fun playing the game.
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?

My bad, I didn't do enough research and that's on me, had no idea the same team worked on a terminator game before. Please go ahead and delete the topic. I'll research more thoroughly next time.
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.

Definitely . The HP universes was something else, lots of stuttering and framerate drops. I find it repetitive too, the innovations are quite low.
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.

Story is huge thing for me, it pretty much what makes a game for me these days. It's the motivation to keep playing and exploring whatever game it is. Let me put it this way, I can play a bad game with a great story more easily than a good game with a poor story.
-
It's pretty much is Doom with Dinosaurs, so if that's your thing, then great stuff. Personally, I'd feel content to just go back to Doom.

I've got my fair share of experience hosting game nights from the work I used to do for another community a few years go and would be all for VGR having game nights, but a tournament between different gaming communities is just not practical. That's especially the case if prizes are involved as somebody would have to sponsor the price and that's a barrel of problems on it's own.

It's cold, wet and wreaks havoc. There is literally nothing to like.

I waited a couple of days on this new development to this story to see if the rancid old bitch involved or the company she works for would respond, but so so far they have not.
Before I get to that though, might I say congratulations to this kind for doing something that people considered impossible for over three decades. It is truly a remarkable achievement. To achieve this takes a level of, skill, dedication and stress management beyond what the vast majority of people can even dream of, so to see it from somebody so young is remarkable. Well done.
No onto the update. A 51 year old Sky News anchor/prestentor in the UK named Jayne Secker was reporting on this story on live TV a few days ago. Instead of praising this young man for the accomplishment, she instead scoose to mock him and tell him to "go outside" and say beating Tetris is "not a life goal". Full story from The Daily Mail and here is ReviewtechUSA discussing the matter on YouTube.
This same hag was praising a 16 year old darts player that did not win the world championship on the same broadcast. Not that I'm taking anything away from that young man, I'm just pointing out the double standerd. Suffice to say, this makes my piss boil.
The bitch is a disgrace, obviously, but this does prove that a ridiculous stigma still applies to video games and the people who play them and it needs to stop. If we start somewhere, I'd say start by this woman apologizing and getting sacked.

Star Citizen never fails to outdo itself with this bullshit. Why people still buy into this scam that clearly has no interest in catering to the average gamer I have no idea. $650 million of thier fans money, more money that was invested into Destiny 1 and 2 combined, and we still don't have a game. This is not even funny anymore.
-
I know this is stating the obvious, but this is some supreme bullshit. If Xbox won't allow clips of nudity or sex from video games to be recorded they shouldn't be selling games with nudity or sex in them in the first place. I guess that when it's a game that sold like new years booze, such as Baldur's Gate 3, hypocrisy is fine so long as it makes money. This ban should be reversed even though I know it won't be.

I'm glad you appreciate my apology, but I still don't think you understand that Musk puts himself in the spotlight for a reason. If you are Insinuating his actions are only innocent, knowing he has the biggest microphone in the world, is quite shady on your part.
I don't think you really do appreciate my apology. Because instead of admitting Musk had a political purpose, you assume that he is just an innocent man, with a big voice on X, and everyone is out to get him on the spotlight. To feel bad for the guy for never being able to express himself...Well, he fucking has expressed himself and is losing advertisers over it for his antisemitism. I really don't think you can ever quite grasp who Musk really is.
And we are back to square One.
Wait a second, how can you say this;

Within the same post and expect it to make sense? Not to mention that you're also wrong:

- @Dismal_Bliss stated quite clearly that there was now a greater understanding of why Elon was being mocked over his comments. The sympathy was described very much as a past tense. Whether or not he still sympathizes with him is his propagative.
- @Dismal_Bliss did admit that there was a political motivation to Elon's statements before you even made made your apology.
On 12/28/2023 at 2:03 AM, Dismal_Bliss said:I'm not into politics. I'm also not into shooting cops. You, me, or Musk should be able to express this freely without some wanker mocking us or calling us names. I understand the elements of the game predates the more recent negative attitudes towards law enforcement.
I'm sure for Musk it was political. For me it was just a moral preference.
And that was a reply directly to you, so I find it hard to believe that you missed it. I think you need to get your thoughts straight because you're not making a lot of sense right now.

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.
