Like, after the fact. I'm not surprised it could be sold as a remake (though the IV numbering implies they didn't even market it like that.) You literally said it was the motivation to create a remake, where'd you get that from?

The IV numbering is only the case in America. In Japan it shares its title (Akumajou Dracula) with CV1, no number involved.

StartTheMachine posted...
So Destiny 2 was a Playstation Plus game some months back, but now it went free to play. I have some friends playing the F2P version on Xbox that want me to jump in with them, and I've been wanting to get back on the Destiny train for a while now anyway. So it seems like the best time, at least after Outer Worlds is done consuming me.

Now I'm basically wondering, is there any difference between the full version I downloaded from PS Plus and the new F2P version of the game? I'd like to play with my Xbox friends, but also don't want to play a gimped version of the game. Can I experience the entire base game campaign in the new F2P offering? Cross-saves are a thing now too though right, so I could theoretically just switch back and forth between the two? Is it that simple?

Mostly.

With the free version you get the full Year 1 content, so vanilla/Curse of Osiris/Warmind, plus access to the full Crucible and the patrol zones from Forsaken and Shadowkeep. You don't get access to the story or raid content from the latter two (or certain exotic quests) without purchasing them, and if you do so you can only access that on the system you purchase it.

The exception to this is access to the current seasonal content (currently included with Shadowkeep), which carries over (so for example I only own Shadowkeep on PS4, but can play Vex Offensive on Xbox or PC if I want).

Yeah I mean I know why it happened it's just odd. I used to live about 40 minutes from King's Island so I went all the time.

I could understand if Paramount just wanted to get out of the theme park business but there's no way that Peanuts is more successful than Nickelodeon/Cartoon Network.

I'm guessing it's as simple as Cedar Fair didn't want to shell out for the rights on those, especially since I believe they already had the Peanuts licenses locked down. (Also of course Paramount and Nickelodeon are both owned by Viacom, which would've simplified that licensing deal in the same way Marvel now handles the majority of Star Wars comics.)

That's been a pretty standard feature on Kings Island passes for years (they're owned by the same people so I assume it's the same at Cedar Point).
Cedar Fair owns Knotts here(they actually ruined the park when they first bought it, but they've been taking steps to fix it) and they run the same deal.


It's truly baffling that there are so many theme parks in America with Snoopy characters running around.

King's Island used to have rides based on Paramount movies (Face/Off, Top Gun, Italian Job) and the kids zone was split between Nickelodeon AND Cartoon Network. How do you go from that level of branding to Peanuts characters?

If I recall correctly they got bought out and couldn't use the rights anymore

Correct. Paramount sold all their theme parks, so all the licensed stuff had to change. Worst change was probably Drop Zone -> Drop Tower, though Face/Off -> Invertigo is pretty rough too.

Also I really miss having the Star Trek TNG theme blaring by the entrance.

That deal they offered where you could buy a Season Pass for next year AND it would work for the rest of this season must have been more popular than they anticipated.

Wait how new is this being able to run dungeons with NPCs? Is it expansion-specific? I hadn't completed ARR before taking a break from the game. One of biggest hindrances in advancing through FFXIV was a fear of running storyline dungeons because I'm not sure what I'm doing fully. Granted the community has given me no reason to be fearful so far in all the dungeons I've played, but it's still a personal problem of mine.

You really dont need to worry about it. My story run of one of the ARR dungeons, I stopped to watch the pre-boss cutscene, and by the time it was over the remaining three had killed the boss and left the dungeon. I ran the final dungeon of the main story three times before figuring out one part of it and nobody said a word. Youll be fine.

Platinum #40 - Borderlands 3

Probably the easiest Borderlands platinum. Hardest trophy was getting a perfect score on the firing range. 20 seconds, 15 targets, and where and when they appear is completely random with no set patterns. Sometimes one would appear and immediately disappear.

Fortunately it can be done in co-op which mitigates the difficulty.

I think that's 7 plats for the month.

Apparently the Xbox platinum achievement is currently broken, so there are people with the other 44 who cant complete the game because it just wont pop.

Easy Allies:

Links Awakening is as charming today as it was 26 years ago. This remake addresses many of the originals shortcomings, but at the same time, the original still does a few things better. The new visual style is gorgeous, but the frequency of the performance issues leaves room for improvement. Despite this setback, precious few Zelda games have the emotional payoff or the narrative richness of Links Awakening. This is still an unbelievable adventure and an absolute must-play.
