Some Gamecubes came with it the game, it was a launch title AND it was promoted to hell and back, remember the ad for it being spammed all the time on TV?

I never owned it lol. That's why it's weird to me cause I remember stuff like Metroid prime (my game of forever), melee and wind waker far more prominently in my minds eye when I really think about it. But at a first glance at the topic title Mario came up. Maybe there was far more media I internalized I wasn't aware of. I do remember people talking about it and my friend owned it

I'm definitely curious

Mario Sunshine for some reason

Wow he literally did just go "Yeah, one more company harvesting and selling your information isn't an issue at all."

The time to fight this was literally over a decade ago and it's lost. Quit bitching and make up names and you're good.

Why is it stupid to complain about?
Why has it become fashionable to just accept every bit of shit these corporations try to shovel down your throat?
What do PC players gain from signing up for a PSN account? They get absolutely nothing and Sony gets everything just so they can artificially pump up their anemic PSN numbers for quarterly reports.

It's pointless and stupid. Why is it a bad thing to call it pointless and stupid?

They get better and more efficient ways to report cheaters and griefers which was the intent. Which currently does not exist at all. So instead this wild outrage over needing to *check notes* take two minutes to make up a fake name and one use email account to continue playing the game you got does seem like small potatoes.

Again selling the game where PSN was not available is shit and they rightfully should be raked over the coals for it. But I sincerely doubt everyone here is completely removed from the Internet without any account for anything so it's quite a moot point. Kudos even if you're posting from your smart phone

Personally I think it's a really stupid thing to complain about, but the people who bought it in countries that it wasn't available was a complete shit show and really stupid of Sony to do.

It's literally always been like that

About 12 to 13. There's a thing that happens in the movie that gets added into the show intro

It's also subtly done throughout the 12th season. Keep an eye on the background and it's noticeable

The movie was just the same as the double episode with the wharf and Felix, only just with a different brother. I was disappointed. I mean it was fine but it just felt like an episode of the show

Do you need to pay for PlayStations online services if youre on PC? Or does a free PSN account work fine for playing on PC? I dont play my PS5 online so just wondering if my base account might be enough if I go PC for this game.

You do not need to pay to play it online on PC. It's also what they're planning on doing with all future games coming to PC to allow achievements and stuff

Fist of the North Star inspired quite a bit of media in its heyday.

Also, when the heck is the anime revival supposed to come out? Would be nice for it to finally do some cleaning up of the plot.

Oh? This has me interested.

I've tried but I just don't like Community at all. I didn't find it a little bit funny.

Lol at the review bombs from earlier this week. People salty as hell that their meta weapons got minor nerfs

As with most live service communities, the stupid ass "meta" lust every influencer on Twitch and YouTube screams is a detriment to a healthy community. It is wild how people get SO SALTY at changes. The game isn't PvP, meta doesn't fucking matter. Go spread democracy with what you like and shut the hell up.

I opted in on launch day. It is bad for the countries without PSN.

Yeah I think this is really the worst of it. It's been sold on Steam to countries that don't have PSN and that...that is really bad. At least, I think it has been? I am not really sure but if this was the case they got a big problem.

At this point in time I have so many accounts another one really isn't much of a bother. Plus, people have been begging for a way to report cheaters and griefers and this apparently is how they will be able to do that. Getting killed by some asshat that throws down a strategem on the landing pad deserves a timeout.

The biggest issue I see is Sony sucks nuts when it comes to security. They've been breached so many times it's ridiculous. Having a Spotify account is whatever, but I would be much more concerned with Sony considering all that they've dealt with.

According to the announcment:

* From May 6th onwards, new players have to link it the moment they start.
* Existing players will get some pop up feom May 30th onwards.
* From June 4th it will be mandatory, or you can't play it at all anymore.

Oh I meant at launch, apparently some people on launch day saw it but could skip it. Which would lend credence that it was at least there from the start but they turned it off because of all of the issues.

Regardless it is a bad move and they are going to suffer for this.

The label forced Lyric changes and forced it to be a Duet with Paul McCoy, from a band you never heard of called 12 Stones, whom Amy previously had no affiliation with, in order to boost Paul's career.

You can find the original recording off the bootleg "Not For Your Ears" but I think Amy also managed to release an official version on the Fallen rerelease. It's basically a completely different song.

The Synthesis version is more like what Amy originally intended.

Link this, I am curious and know so little about Evanescence I don't know where to begin.

Tyranthraxus posted...

They made an orchestral album featuring essentially orchestral covers of their own songs and they redid Bring Me to Life more in line with how Amy originally intended it. It's much better than the crap they released on Fallen.

Lol yeah the subreddit is up in arms (but they always fucking are, it's one of the worst I've seen). I have no doubt we'll hear about this more next week.

Sheesh I'm like 8 hours in and haven't gotten to that Atlas whatever. The first area after you go to the Wasteland first. Been just running around doing a bunch of random stuff trying to explore it all and getting rekt in the process.

A lot of countries will be locked out because of this, because in all their glorious wisdom they sold the game to countries without access to PSN. Hopefully at least those people can get refunds.

Also, many people myself included would have insta refunded or not bought it in the first place if a PSN account was required to play.

I've heard that there was a pop up to link your PSN account but it seems unsure if it was constant or you just skipped once and never saw it again. As I said I am on PS5 so I was required to have it regardless.

I mean I'm against the law too. Not for her dumbass reason but a broken clock etc

voldothegr8 posted...

And if I don't have a PSN account and refuse to create one?

You don't play it anymore

And to be fair, it does say it's required on the store page but they had to turn it off at launch due to the server issues. Guess they are turning it back on. I play on PS5 so it's not a problem for me but it's absolutely an issue for people that live in countries where PSN isn't even available.

This is going to go over like a sack of bricks

Vyrulisse posted...

Don't worry they are working hard to "fix" that mistake by forcing PC players to link a PSN account.

Yep. This i think will kill the game fully more than anything else. GG

Finished the last season. Good stuff the pizza place episode was very funny as was Dennis on his mental health day. Think we've all felt what he has sometimes

I went on a two week cruise and didn't come to this conclusion but you do you TC

To be fair dude is gender neutral

The episode where Frank gets stuck in the Winnebago deserves to be on the list. And also I LOVE the McPoyles, they crack me up so much

This is fucking gross

You should check out the show Banshee

I love Anthony Jeselnik and he's the comedian I go to when people say YOU CAN'T DO COMEDY THESE DAYS. He jokes about heinous things and also transgendered people but he doesn't do it in a malicious way. And he doesn't linger like you see someone like Chappelle does. He does his joke and moves on and stops beating on it. Probably moves on to joking about kids with cancer or something.

Anyway I'm moving through the last season of Sunny and just saw Frank vs Russia. Got me good in the end. "KILL THE WI-FI! KILL THE WI-FI!"

I also kind of disagree on it getting eh after season 10. I feel like the show has gotten funnier throughout. Though yeah there are some clunkers like The Gang Buys a Roller Rink

Around $1k but it's my primary usage of money so I just pay it all off. I shall do so tomorrow. Got hundreds of dollars of Amazon points to use

Hero or Hate Crime was season 12 and from 2017 I can't wait for TC to get to that one.

"Frank Shoots Every Member of the Gang", this should be a good one.

I agree Frank getting on the show makes it was better

I just got to the final season and the first season was probably the worst. Standard for all shows seems to be first season is meh then gets good. I struggled real hard to get into IASIP cause the first season was so meh.

But I powered through and as it kept going I found it to get better, even after a whole bunch of seasons. Feel like it really hits it's stride in the middle. Season 10 sticks out as great

This is the kind of stuff that I come to CE for

Sure why not

Just wait for the episode: hero or hate crime.

Just watched this one, was utterly fantastic.

Show is great, and "comedy can't be made today!" whiners need only look at this one.

What makes it premium?

Not in a "fuck this game" way, in terms of "best-selling premium game."

A game you have to buy, not given away in Game Pass or PS+ or F2P with cash shop.

I'm glad people are enjoying it, it's not my kind of game though.

I think it's weird that if everyone gets KOd it just spawns everyone instead of game overing. Makes it feel like there's not much stakes.

There are limited respawns, so you don't spawn forever. Everyone dying is a severe loss of reinforcements which will cause a mission fail and the enemy to gain ground in the operation so there are definitely stakes, some even larger than you would think.

https://www.msn.com/en-au/lifestyle/shopping/helldivers-2-is-one-of-the-best-selling-sony-games-ever-after-just-two-months/ar-AA1nZDmV

Sonys decision to launch Helldivers 2 across PlayStation 5 and PC has been a huge success, as it now ranks among the highest grossing Sony games ever.

If Helldivers 2s success wasnt clear enough, after topping the charts for two consecutive months in the UK, sales data in the US has sealed it as a Sony giant.

In data published by Circana, Helldivers 2 ranks as the best-selling premium game of the year so far, based on dollar sales across physical and digital, ahead of Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Dragons Dogma 2.

The majority of this success has come from the PC market rather than the PlayStation 5, with the co-op shooter topping the charts for the most played Steam titles based on monthly active users in March.

Industry analyst Mat Piscatella highlighted how successful it has been on PC, following its launch on February 8.

PC has been a huge part of the success of Helldivers 2 in the US, he wrote on Twitter. With PC, Helldivers 2 is already the seventh highest grossing Sony published game in history. Without PC it wouldnt currently rank among the top 20.

The success of Helldivers 2 will likely lead Sony to launch more exclusives simultaneously across PlayStation and PC in the future something the company has already talked about, as it looks to improve the companys profit margins.

Get ready for this to be the norm, similar to the Xbox strategy of console + PC. Doesn't bother me in the slightest, if we can get more fun as hell games like Helldivers 2 I am fine with it. This game really has done tremendously well and, as a fan of the first one, that pleases me a lot. I think the other benefit and reason for it selling so well is how easy the cross play is. Being able to play from PS5 and PC at launch and the great word of mouth could easily have caused it to balloon as much as it did.

Meanwhile, Payday 3 is still a piece of shit.

Here are some other fun facts:

In Europe, the United Kingdom, and Canada, Helldivers 2 was the best-selling game of February 2024.

By 24 February 2024, the game was estimated to have sold over 3 million units and became the most actively played game on the PlayStation Network, surpassing Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 and Fortnite. By 15 March 2024, Helldivers 2 was estimated to have sold 8 million units and reached 450,000 concurrent players on Steam.

Helldivers 2 continued to be the best selling game in the UK for the second month in a row, and also managed to drive up video game sales by 26% in the country.

Sony managed to seemingly strike gold with at least one live service game. Arrowhead definitely needs to work on stability though, they are on a tight update schedule and the issues are piling up.

TikTok and the truth in one sentence is wild to read

Still doing that shitty CG

There's an auto loot?? Why isn't that on by default?

So this game was unfinished eh

I got married at 31. My friend got married at 37 and just had his first kid at 40.

Your life is your life, don't compare it to others. Do what is best for you.

Oh that guy was suspended, which is good. It sucks cause I like this game not because I am using it as horny bait, I just like how the combat feels and vibe with the music and style. The story is whatever and characters are just there but I'm in it for the fun Sekiro like combat.

To see literally no one talking about that but just this censorship stuff is sad. Game isn't a 10/10, but 7 or 8 would be my opinion right now.

Nice I have a Quest 3, will keep an eye on it
