if there's anybody in the world who'd be fucking unobservant enough to actually damage themselves with trap-soap I guess it'd be the guy with dialup in 2007

i tried to convince my gf not to buy rocksmith 2014, that it'd be better to look up videos online to get started playing guitar, that i could teach her, that she could buy a beginner's book or two, that the game was a gimmick existing amid the rubble of the rock band/guitar hero franchises and has the cheesiest commercials ever...

One Day Later

this game is fun as FUCK. i've played for 10+ years but i can tell it's going to massively improve my soloing skills. i've never been able to play really technical solos up-to-speed with much accuracy, but i practiced a few measures of a satriani solo yesterday and basically got them down cold. my gf, who never picked up a guitar until saturday night, is already playing along to songs with root notes and some power chords after a few hours with the game... so cool. can safely say that starting out playing guitar with this game is a better idea than sitting in a room paying an instructor $25 for 30 minutes to point at which note to play next.

Wait until people start unloading theirs for $50 or less. Play your Steam backlog, don't waste money on a dead console.

Who has this console of the damned? Does anyone love it? I fucking love my 3Ds and with the tablet controller touchscreen on the Wii U, I feel like it's just an awesome HD 3Ds...

It did well over Christmas - actually outsold the Xbox One. Small spark of hope that the system might wind up with enough high-quality games to justify the expense of purchase later this year. Maybe if it stops being a fucking retail chapel of ghouls people will start developing more shit for it...?

I'm a sucker for wrestling games, even if they suck. I picked up WWE 13 on the Wii for $25, and it's not bad, but the gameplay just leaves a lot to be desired. I don't know why these companies don't just make a game that plays like WCW Revenge or WWF No Mercy any more. I used to love Wrestlemania XIX on the Gamecube, because the gameplay in the actual wrestling matches was a lot of fun, especially against other people. This game, the modes are cool, the characters are cool, but the gameplay is just... not that fun after a while. I heard WWE 2K14 for PS3/XBox 360 is incredible, so I'm looking forward to playing that at a friend's house this weekend.

I put it in, I press it to start and then... black screen, ps3 stops working, has to be the hard reset to get it back. I deleted all game data but my saves, still nothing.

Anyone else have this problem?
have you tried playing anything else since then? might want to test it and make sure GTA5 didn't brick your PS3. well, or just made it unable to play games. there are multiple dozen-page threads about GTA5 breaking people's consoles on the sony support forums. if it was me, i'd stop trying to play it just to be safe.

EDIT: you might also try defragging your PS3 after you've deleted the game data. supposedly it only takes a few minutes. instructions in first post: https://forums.station.sony.com/dcuo/in ... ty.101417/

LOL CONSOLE GAMING

Wait. *cough*

Meanwhile, I'm predictably addicted to Gran Turismo 6, but I'm guessing nobody else here's playing, right?

Anyone read about the class action lawsuit EA shareholders have filed over Battlefield 4? Burn EA, burn!

Report when you've played it plz. I'm really not sure I want to start all over with this game unless the visual updates are... substantial. The PS3 version already runs smoothly as fuck, so unless they've done something to the environments (which it doesn't sound like they did), I don't really see this being worth it.

It was $20 so I had to bite. Also, native resolutions above 720p, all the DLC is included, and being able to force some bells and whistles... :mastoman: . Also, there's an option to limit or unlimit how many pieces you slice something. :moreawesome: I'm hoping modding is possible because the game could use new textures.

You'd think on the list of things to make sure you get done when making a game worth that much money that MAKE SURE IT'S PLAYABLE AT LAUNCH would be be near the top, you know?
I was mistaken. Not a formal lawsuit but a complaint. Hopefully something comes out of it because it's about time a publisher took responsibility for releasing a broken product.
On December 17, 2013, Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP filed a complaint alleging EA violated federal securities laws (specifically, laws introduced by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) by making said false public statements regarding Battlefield 4 between the period of July 24 and December 4.

The complaint alleges that EA's stock rose based on the purported strength of the Battlefield 4 rollout underway during this period, reaching a high of $28.13 per share by August 23 2013, allowing "certain of Electronic Arts’ senior executives to sell their Electronic Arts stock at artificially inflated prices."

The bug-ridden version of Battlefield 4 on PlayStation 4 is also under investigation. The firm alleges the disclosure of the game's problems lead to a fall in EA's share value, which fell further still once EA placed a hold on all future projects until they were fixed. The complaint alleges EA "recklessly disregarded" the fact that Battlefield 4 was "riddled with bugs and multiple other problems, including downloadable content that allowed players access to more levels of the game, a myriad of connectivity issues, server limitations, lost data and repeated sudden crashes, among other things." As a result, EA "was not on track to achieve the financial results it had told the market it was on track to achieve during the Class Period."

It's important to note that this is still a complaint and the class action itself hasn't been filed; the firm needs a leading plaintiff who bought common stock in EA between July and December to come forward by the motion deadline in 60 days on February 15, 2014, no sure thing.

"We believe these claims are meritless," is the official statement being made to media from EA in regards to the lawsuit. "We intend to aggressively defend ourselves, and we’re confident the court will dismiss the complaint in due course."

Sega is going to release another Aliens game. I think this calls for a tut-tut if I ever tut-tut'ed.

Has this been the shittiest, most lackluster "new gen" ever, or do I just not talk to anyone who cares about baming anymore?

It seems like, more than ever, the new gen games are nothing but HD incarnations of shit that already existed. Previous new gens would change something other than the resolution, but now... !?!?

Please don't hesitate to tell me I'm full of shit on this one. Full disclosure that goes for this and all future posts in here: the main gaming thing I really care about is when/how I will play The Last Guardian.
