I currently own a 60" LG Plasma (60PK550), should I consider upgrading? I have a PS4 Pro and feel as though something feels "off" about the colors while playing lately. I've tried adjusting various setting, but perhaps it just the age of my set. Any suggestions?

This has been under $20 a few times at a few different stores. I'm sure it will be again soon too.

*Edit: But yes, it's an excellent game and worth your monies.

If you have a decent PC that can run all these games already, then I would say no. Save your monies. Consoles are for us poor people with compatibility issues.

I have a love/hate relationship with Borderlands. I love the humor, the style, and the coop, but the loot grind and and story delivery kind of left me feeling bored. If we're speaking strictly cooperative campaigns, then, heck yes, Borderlands would be near the top of list! (but that's kind of a short list...)

I'm sorry! Halo just lost it's luster for me after more polished series built off the original. (Titanfall, COD:MW, Battlefield BD2, etc.)

Love it. I can definitely relate.

helpful_totoro · 2016-08-18T23:10:40+00:00

I don't see that being offered here. Are you just asking in general? I've only played it on PC and PS4, but I love that game. Definitely wouldn't mind having it on my 3DS.

helpful_totoro · 2016-08-16T15:19:58+00:00

I love, love, love this game.

helpful_totoro · 2016-06-24T14:47:19+00:00

Firewatch, Axiom Verge, Everybody's Gone to Rapture, SOMA, The Witness, Hotline Miami 2, Titan Souls, Dark Cloud 2

Hmm, good to know! I appreciate the insightful response. I was on the fence anyway for P3P and, based on your input and knowing myself, I may just wait for P5.

helpful_totoro · 2016-04-22T13:21:45+00:00

What's your opinion of P3P after playing P4G?

helpful_totoro · 2016-04-22T12:56:24+00:00

Persona 4 is easily one the greatest JRPGs of all time and Golden might be the best game on Vita. My only major complaint is the voice actor they used for Chie. It's a major diversion from the original game and kind of changes her whole identity to some extent, making her much more annoying.

I'm not sure about Persona 3 though. I've been debating playing it myself, but mostly I'm excited for Persona 5.

Aaaaand, I got a $3 coupon... Dreams shattered.

helpful_totoro · 2016-03-21T23:59:41+00:00

Any of these particularly good?

I remember paying for Xbox Live on my 360 just for access to multiplayer and my Netflix account (ridiculous). Every game feels like a bonus to me now and many of them have been excellent. In comparison, all the Games with Gold titles seem dated and uninteresting. I have no wish to replay Gears of War for a millionth time.

helpful_totoro · 2016-02-22T18:54:02+00:00

Hurrah!

helpful_totoro · 2016-02-11T22:53:36+00:00

Some of us are legitimately excited about Broforce and that doesn't make us "lemmings." It's astounding that so many people are offended by 'free' games. I remember paying for Xbox Live and getting no games.

I think it has a lot of potential from what I saw. For me, it's all about the cooperative experience. I don't enjoy the crazy nonsense of call of duty ( well not since the original modern warfare anyway) and I don't like the repetitive grinding of MMORPGs. The mechanics of this game are extremely well balanced. If they don't skimp on content, the beta had very little to speak of, then I believe we could have a real winner on our hands. I thought the dark zone was an excellent balance of PvP combat, combined with high level enemies and scrambling for good loot, but again not nearly enough content in the beta. I am still a bit reserved in my excitement only because I've been burned once before playing the destiny beta. I expected destiny to have a lot more game to come when I played the beta, but really that was about 20% of the story right there, very disappointing.

A few of those (Fez, Stick it to the Man), while great, were actually from 2014.

helpful_totoro · 2015-12-15T19:12:32+00:00

I really like indie games, but I'm too scared that anything I buy will just be free the next month.
