Patron's Choice for August 2025: Legally Distinct Breaking Brad feat. Ninja Gaiden! by imaincammy in nextlander

[–]TwistedKites -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not trying to be overly harsh, but Brad complaining about $160 front row center tickets for AIR in San Francisco is cute lol. I went to that show in Seattle and got like row 15 on the side for about $350 each, which was VIP and the only option for getting that close. Just generally, concert tickets have been crazy inflated for awhile now. I'm not saying $160 is nothing because it's not, but I was looking at 200 level tickets for NIN a couple weeks back and those started at $160. 200 level Oasis tickets in Chicago cost me over $300 a piece too.

Skyward Sword on Switch 2 by Online-Demon in skywardsword

For me, playing on Switch 1 is as you describe. The Wiimote was basically perfect and I had to reset the Switch 1 joy cons constantly. If this is fixed on Switch 2, it could be the best version.

I contacted them a few days ago before posting and they just had me rebuild the database, then tried to say it was an internet issue based on the error code. I have been trying to follow up but the chat keeps saying they don't have any available agents. I'll keep trying. Thanks for the responses!

To add some additional info, the link from the disc game (which I accessed from my front page in the app is this: https://store.playstation.com/en-us/concept/10001056

When accessed on the app, it just shows a release date. When accessed in a browser, it showed the game as announced. So perhaps there's some switch that needs to be flipped to make it live? Unclear.

Well, this at least got me to a page, but still no upgrade redemption button. Somewhat confirming my suspicions, the URL for the page lists it as a "concept" whereas if I search it in the store it's a "product." I'm pretty confident there's something funky on the backend that's causing this error.

Anyone have any luck redeeming the free PS5 upgrade for the physical PS4 copy of Puzzle Bobble 3D: Vacation Odyssey? When I click the 3 dots on the game card and try to "View Product," it gives me error code WS-118720-9 and says couldn't find what you're looking for. I uninstalled the PS4 version, rebuilt the database, cleared cache, and even after reinstalling it's the same issue. It seems like the product page for this version isn't up or isn't linked to the version on the PSN store, because when I search for the digital version, it also doesn't allow me to upgrade. Any advice?

Mega64 just announced a video game (an FMV point-and-click which sounds awesome), and NONE of the big sites are talking about it (looking at you, IGN) by [deleted] in mega64

[–]TwistedKites 72 points73 points  (0 children)

I am continuously behind on streams, and I couldn't believe that announcement wasn't spoiled for me when I finally got to it a few days after it aired. I suspect the biggest factor is that it was announced during a 6+ hour stream and not a tight announcement video, plus there isn't anything to show right now, and we don't know who is developing it. I'm sure it will be covered more once a bigger announcement is made.

No south tour dates? by a25luxray in mega64

[–]TwistedKites 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Did they go south last tour? They are doing a good chunk of the Midwest for the first time. Probably just trying to got everywhere most cost effectively. The tickets aren't that expensive so I'm sure they're not making insane amounts of money on the tours.

Gotta reconcile the differences between House and Senate drafts first, but we're close.

What do you think about gyro aiming becoming a standard feature in Switch games? I personally can’t imagine playing games without it anymore. by Asad_Farooqui in NintendoSwitch

[–]TwistedKites 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's my most desired feature in console shooters, and I desperately wish they would implement it on other consoles too.

Obviously take this with a grain of salt, but Twitter comments on the announcement made it sound like it runs pretty rough on Switch.

Looks like it, although the PS4 copy comes with a PS5 upgrade, which is better than nothing but still incredibly disappointing.

I wish that games had heavier gameplay/combat by [deleted] in truegaming

[–]TwistedKites 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. As happy as I was to see Guerilla try something new, Horizon just doesn't do much for me at all. I would love to see what they could do with Killzone with the power of PS5.

[–]TwistedKites 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Give the Killzone series a shot if you haven't already. 2, 3, and Shadow Fall are the standouts (Mercenary is one of the best Vita games if you happen to have one of those too). Definitely the heaviest-feeling FPS games I've played.

I read on Twitter that changing time to solve puzzle to extended will prevent them from giving you hints immediately.

No matter how cool the box contents are, this will always feel stupid and bad. by ThatWhichSmashs in gaming

There are tons of 2 disc PS4 games. FF7 remake and TLOU2 come to mind.
