Random Gaming Talk Thread

Lots of people are now reporting that PSO2 is uninstalling itself randomly and that reinstalling will just lead to it uninstalling itself again. 

Mine had the PSO2 "app" on the start-bar and couldn't even load it. Installation corrupted after playing it ONE time and rebooting.

MS store is such a joke. I wish they'd release Forza Horizon 3 on Steam so I could rebuy it and be done with their shitty walled garden bullshit completely.

Lots of people are now reporting that PSO2 is uninstalling itself randomly and that reinstalling will just lead to it uninstalling itself again. 

Even though I moved the installed app to my other drive, 11 GB of space was still being taken up on my C drive, even with the game uninstalled.

Had to go C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\MSIXVC\ and delete the file 1D2C0454-5690-4446-B82D-F0AC35EE85B5 to free up that 11 GB.  That WindowsApps folder also wouldn't let me into it without changing ownership first. 

Not going to redownload this shit unless it gets released on Steam or something.

Is it not that windows store FEATURE of hiding all of the files for quick 'reinstall' that happens with gamepass as well? I was missing like 100GB and it was hiding in delivery optimization files.


I have PSO2 downloaded but haven't tried it yet lol

[thisismyusername]

Don't bother. Delete it if you haven't rebooted. Because if you reboot there's a chance the MS store will corrupt the download/delete a file and ruin the entire install.

I basically downloaded 70gigs over the course of a day just to play the game ONCE and then have it fuck itself over. #ThanksMS.

I didn't even reboot, it put the computer to sleep which is the most infuriating part of this.

[Positive Touch]

game works fine for me. tutorial level was pretty damn fun, combat felt like a better version of how i remembered pso1 played, and the music was great. also there's an ass slider in the character customization. shame that supposedly superior pc gamers can't work a simple game from ten years ago; sucks to be you guys i guess

[Great Rumbler]

I need this in my life.

PS5 games reveal on the 4th.

Don't care about 1st party other than Japan Studios, but hopefully this finally breaks embargo for most 3rd party next gen game reveals.

[Don Rumata]

I just want to see impressive graphics, i'll be completely honest.
I don't care what game is going to show them.
We all know launch (and launch window) games are all shit anyway.
I hope it'll be a bigger leap than last gen, i was watching the direct comparison between LoU1 and 2 (of that scene they remade from the ending of 1) and i hope we'll get a bigger jump than that.

[Positive Touch]

as far as i know, square enix and capcom have nothing big on the horizon. hit me with some pants-wetting surprises plz

[Pissy F Benny]

Square will hit you with a ff7 remake part 2 or ff16 trailer even tho neither are within 4 years of releasing and are barely in development and you’ll like it

For this fiscal year they announced to have at least a couple of AAA productions coming, which they want to sell like twenty something mil copies altogether with.

[Positive Touch]

while it won't be at this show, it's likely Capcom has a Battle Network compilation in the works for its 20th anniversary. never played them so I'm hyped for that.

[Raist]

PS5 games reveal on the 4th.

Schreieeier annihilated.

Aaaaawww yeah, I was wondering when it would show.

best leaker in the game at it again.

apart from gaining attention for the porn gimmick, pretty sure this account is full of shit though. predicted things like Directs and Metroid news on concrete days that never happened, etc.

Some people are like "Metroid Prime Trilogy " but as much as I love those game I'm not going to be excited for a port. seeing as Prime 4 restarted development how about y'all actually follow up on Samus Returns' secret ending?

Give me Dread.

New games on Switch, while the majority of the audience cums over WiiU ports that cost more than 5 years ago or ten year old shit like Bioshock and Diablo 3 at full price? And while the hottest rumours are more ports like Prime and Pikmin and Mario? Never.

Sony isn't kneecapping next gen like Microsoft

[Mr Gilhaney]

Yep. Will rather re-sell all their low effort ports as ultimate editions and remasters.

Only a problem if their BC turns out as shitty as it sounds currently.

[Nintex]

I never get the obsession with BC.
New console = new games.

Just keep your old system hooked up or pick one up for cheap. It's not like there's any 'rare' cartridges or controllers anymore.
You can still pretty much get any PS3 or PS2 game at a reasonable price at this point.

[Spieler1]

wow keeping your old systems how did no one ever think of that!?!?!?

[Mr Gilhaney]

I would just like to play persona 5 on something that doesn't sound like it's about to blow up.

[Raist]

They're not talking about BC though?

The PS3 version runs well in RPCS3. There's even a 60fps patch, but apparently it's glitchy.

Dont be a dumbass, dude.
1) I'm not keeping 6 different boxes hooked up to a TV.
2) Most people trade in the old system to buy the new.
3) BC is not even "retrogaming" anymore, games like R6 Siege, Fortnite, and even stuff like Hitman 2016 are experiences that flow through the generations.
4) You can't tell people to go digital, build their digital library, and then reset it every 6 years like you're Nintendo or something.

Your digital point is incredibly on point. I've got over 600 digital games on my Xbone account, and knowing every single one of those games will be compatible and run/look better on different hardware, makes my decision for a next gen console pretty easy to consider.

At this point, Microsoft has show effort and groundwork into making a videogame console have library continuity like PC's have. Sony has PSNow and ports with little to no upgrades.

They're not talking about BC though?

You're right, the tweet is about cross gen games.

Just found that Freesync monitors work with G-Sync.  This update happened like a year ago?  Completely missed it!

Besides what Don Rumata already touched on, BC can also mean being able to play older games upscaled to higher resolutions or sometimes with better visuals/filtering to improve how they look.  I know I certainly would have liked to have had PS3 BC on the PS4 with all games upscaled to 1080P or higher.

WTF are you talking about?     Yes, there are.  "Rare" is often an overused term, but there's plenty of games out there that are hard to find (or hard to find in good condition) and/or pricey.  Controllers included.

Yep. Some freesynch monitors still got some weird issues with g-sync though, so if you are on the market for a new one, it's best to look it up first.

I honestly can't think of a single rare Xbox One or PlayStation 4 game outside of maybe some CE's or recalled launch jank

I'd like to play Bloodborne with proper framepacing or maybe even 60 fps.

Poopslinger sells for $1200+ new.
Gryphon Knight Epic goes for $200-$300.
Godzilla goes for $150-$200.
Shantae Risky's Revenge goes for $100 used and $150+ new.
Shadow Warrior 2 sells for $130 new.
Rez Infinite is $80-$90.

There's plenty more- I sold Enter The Gungeon (with Ammo guidebook) for $270 last year.  I paid $70 for it.

There's a rumor that it's getting a PC port.

https://gamerant.com/bloodborne-pc-port/

The leak comes from an unnamed insider who shared information about a Bloodborne PC port in a private group. The leaker claims to have sources in the industry that they have known for years, and they fully trust them when it comes to this potential port. According to the leaker, Bloodborne is currently in development for PC. Even though the game is reportedly in active development, the leaker claims it could take anywhere from 10 months to a year to be officially announced. The leaker also says more PlayStation games will make their way to PC, stating that Horizon Zero Dawn will not be the last Sony game to come to the platform.

But who knows?

I am pretty sure I saw Godzilla in a bargain bin soon after release, but I didn’t pick it up because how awful it was supposed to be

So I was out today and heard two random people talking about a game they’re playing. They described it as a zombie survival game where you have to scavenge and build things to survive. It sounded like a zombie Minecraft or something. I’m not really in the gaming news anymore and I’m too introverted to ask them what it was so does anyone know what they may have been talking about? It sounded like something I would like.
