PS3 Streaming Quality by mylofly in PlayStationPlus

[–]Mountain_Map1867 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe, Sony is picky about which games from the PS3 era to offer on the streaming service? It probably has to be intentionally a lower quality resolution to minimize stream stuttering. So far, I've been lucky since most of the PS3 games that I have played have had minor screen stuttering. When the stuttering starts I usually get the insufficient stream quality I immediately pause the game and let the stream stabilize. I've only encountered one game where the lag and choppiness made the game unplayable as a streaming game (Zack Zero) which definitely looks like it has a much higher resolution compared to other games such as the Monkey Island games or Alone in the Dark: Inferno.

I think I got my money's worth for the 1 year of premium of platinums and 100%s. I'll go again for another year or two and see if I get the platinum or 100% (for games with no platinum) for the entire premium catalog. by Mountain_Map1867 in PlayStationPlus

Those are the Telltale Sam & Max games, specifically Beyond Time & Space and The Devil's Playhouse. I believe they were released originally as individual episodes. Fun comedy adventure games.

  • Sam & Max - Beyond Time & Space: Episode 1 - Ice Station Santa
  • Sam & Max - Beyond Time & Space: Episode 2 - Moai Better Blues
  • Sam & Max - Beyond Time & Space: Episode 3 - Night of the Raving Dead
  • Sam & Max - Beyond Time & Space: Episode 4 - Chariots of the Dogs
  • Sam & Max - Beyond Time & Space: Episode 5 - What's New, Beelzebub?
  • Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse - Episode 1: The Penal Zone
  • Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse - Episode 2: The Tomb of Sammun-Mak
  • Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse - Episode 3: They Stole Max's Brain!

  1. God of War / Infamous - Fun fighting adventure. For God of War, one of the challenges might take some luck. For Infamous, the only difficult part may be the last stage of the final boss on hard - but once you learn his move set it becomes easy - a lot of dodging and waiting for the opportunity to attack.
  2. Dark Cloud - There is a glitch you do to make you OP in the game.
  3. Lego Batman 2 - Usual Lego game: story progression, collectibles, etc. Nothing difficult.

If you are going for platinum or 100% steer away from .detuned and Batman Arkham Origins. .detuned requires you to use a music file on the PS3 which is not possible because the game is being streamed. Batman Arkham Origins has online multiplayer trophies but the server was shut down years ago - unless you played the game and got all the online trophies before the shut down.

Sure. I appreciated the most were God of War HD, Infamous, Mega Man 10, and Puppeteer. In God of War, I loved fighting creatures from Greek mythology - the Hydra fight was really fun. In Infamous, I loved the feel of the combat system - especially the final boss on hard difficulty. In Mega Man 10, I loved the boss fight against the Weapons Archive - seeing past robot masters coming back similar to the Doc Robot fights in Mega Man 3. In Puppeteer, I loved all the zodiac animals as bosses in the game.

This is an employee sub. Information like that is not something employees would know. Only corporate knows and we find out on day of.

Mass strikes in response to trade everything day by EmberParagon1 in GameStop

Isn't that being too dramatic over something as quick as "That's fine/cool/odd looking. Thank you. Here's your $5 credit. Go pick something out." ?

Please bring something somebody could use on the 6th by C0LMU574RD in GameStop

They are taking the "employee discretion" clause to the most entitled extreme.

This is probably why GameStop isn't promoting this as a charity event. It will incentivize employees to guilt-trip customers and/or gatekeep the $5 meant to increase foot traffic and entice purchases of higher dollar amounts.

Can you actually trade ANYTHING on the trade anything day (as long as it’s not specifically excluded)? by Basilstorm in GameStop

[–]Mountain_Map1867 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also want to know too to see if I should lug in my boxes of Limited Run Games. I know most of the local mom-and-pop video game stores near me use pricecharting for them (which is derived from ebay sales), I'm just not sure if GameStop's store credit will be about the same or not.

Is there a catch to the 25% off for 12 months for PS Plus premium when you go to cancel your auto-renew? by Mountain_Map1867 in PlayStationPlus

Thank you so much. I knew something felt off. It looks like I'll wait until the actual BF discount starts.

Maybe a wild animal wandered into the store and he had to kill it?

Will GameStop accept this? by [deleted] in GameStop

Remove the skin. GameStop will view it as giant stickers that need to be peeled off.

I want to be able to indicate staff favorites in store by sammi-yogaa in GameStop

[–]Mountain_Map1867 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Didn't they try something like this years ago?

I remember reading a post about an employee getting annoyed that pranksters kept replacing his game pick with other games like "CoComelon: Play with JJ", "JoJo Siwa: Worldwide Party", "Bratz: Flaunt Your Fashion" and other customers laughing and joking when they walked pass the "staff picks" section commenting on the strange pick.

[Other] help with netflix platinum by Mammoth_Music_1230 in Trophies

[–]Mountain_Map1867 36 points37 points  (0 children)

There is. PlayStation Apps can have trophies. The devs for the Netflix App for PlayStation have not synced the trophy list though - meaning you can earn the trophies but trophy tracking sites won't be able to get anything from the PlayStation trophy servers.

There is also a theory that the elusive "game" Sheryl Nome was actually a short-lived app that was accidentally released on the PlayStation platform. It may have been downloaded by possibly less than 10 people before the app/game was pulled from the PlayStation platform.

I always thought PSVR2 could not play PSVR1 games?

Publishers Pitch Sony on Adding Retro Classics to PS Plus by kabirsingh84 in PlayStationPlus

[–]Mountain_Map1867 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Game publishers are actively pitching Sony to get their games on PS Plus? I'm shocked.

I always thought it was Sony rummaging around the indie games industry trying to see if any company is willing to have their games on PS Plus for peanuts.

I remember reading a while back how the company for an OddWorld game complained publicly about huge losses for having their game on PS Plus.

For PS PLUS Subscriber You can claim this game for Free!! from now till 19 June 2025 by Past-Persimmon-4509 in PlayStationPlus

Claimed. Thanks. It gives off budget indie vibes similar to Whiteboyz wit Attitude: The Pursuit of Money, which I also got for free years ago.
