    I just bought one of these, a $50 PSN gift card for $40. From what I saw on cheapassgamer, its legitimate. I should get my code by email within 24 hours so i'll let you guys know if its a good purchase. Once I get the code, I'll apply it to my PSN account and buy a PS+ membership. As long as it all works out then I'll get 12 months PS+ for $40. http://www.ebay.com/itm/261681290189 I checked my PS+ on my PS4 to see when it will expire and I'm good until December 29. But for everyone that got the $29.99 cards last year and activated them around this time you might want to check your auto-renewals. I noticed that mine was set to auto renew with the 3 month membership for $17. I deactivated that and tried to activate a 12 month renewal instead and I don't see that as an option. So just a heads up the $50 PS+ 12 month is much cheaper than $17 every three months. And don't let your PS+ lapse or you'll lose all your free PS+ games.

    I'm missing out so much by not having played all the star wars games yet. I have most of the good ones too. They might consider KOTOR to be canon still just because it takes place in TOR. I think all the newer movies are supposed take place after the original trilogy. Its ok with me that they aren't considering the books to be canon anymore. I just hope they keep some of the characters. They could make new movies and series like how AMC does with The Walking Dead. Mostly the same characters but different from the source material to keep it all new.

    Oh yes, that pisses me the hell off too. I would have loved for this movie to have been "Star Wars: The Hand of Thrawn" with a recast of the original characters. I'm just glad there will be more star wars movies more than anything. With how good Disney was with the Marvel movies, I have big expectations for great new Star Wars movies. I did not like the direction George Lucas took with the prequels. The novels he officially licensed out should have been considered cannon. Even without any jedi in them, the Han Solo trilogy of novels would have been good movies. Imagine the Jedi Academy trilogy being turned into movies.. With the Sun Crusher and the prototype Death Star at the Maw.. that would have been pretty epic sequels.

    Did anyone find a Playstation Plus discount? Last year it was $29.99. I'm hoping a cyber monday sale will bring the price down but I have a feeling Sony is blocking a sale on the membership. They know everyone that bought a PS4 last year will have to renew to keep their free games. I should have bought two cards last year. \ I think there is an ebay seller selling them for $39.99. They probably bought a thousand or so of them last year for $29.99 anticipating a demand for this year to make an extra $10 a piece.

      I should have taken a screen shot of that. XD I got one more of the achievements done in that last go.. the "don't get hit by the large guy's explosion" I need to dodge the tail, shock waves and find that chest underwater still.

      The first time fighting Tequatl I was on my PC.. the second time last night was on my laptop.. I swear my laptop felt like it was going to melt after that. XD

    How did everyone luck out with black friday deals? Amazon matched most of the sales I was keeping my eye on. I ended up getting a new PS4 controller for $40 (my current one has taken some heavy BF4 damage to the left thumbstick), Walking Dead Season 2 PS4 for $19.99 and Shadow of Mordor PS4 for $25. I'd have bought Wolfenstein The New Order also for $25, but I need to save some cash and with how often I play games (and the two games I just bought), by the time I go to play it I could get it cheaper used. I also need to hit the pet store later to buy some new dog beds for 50% off.

    I bet at least half the people that play WoW have never played a regular Warcraft game. Its like the property has two different fan bases IMO. Lady even played WoW at one point but had no interest in playing a RTS Warcraft game. Blizzard could consider WoW to be an alternate timeline and still make a WC4. *still has hope* I doubt a Starcraft MMO would ever happen. It wouldn't make blizzard any money because it would draw too many of their current MMO players off of WoW. They would be mostly competing with themselves while paying all the expenses of developing and maintaining two games. With as popular as the Starcraft series is in Korea and other international markets in the pro gaming circuits, I think its safe to say we'll get a SC3 though. The Old Republic looks fun, but its no KOTOR, imo. I still need to play KOTOR 2 and I doubt I'll ever have the time to play TOR. \

    https://www.humblebundle.com/ I still have my Dreamcast games, but not the bass pro fishing. I'll have to use a controller instead of the original fishing rod controller, but I'll still enjoy it. lol. I hope Sonic Adventure 2 DX is added next week. I have both Sonic Adventure games on my Dreamcast, but those games had online properties to them. But these DX versions have all the online content since my Dreamcast won't be making a connection to Sega's servers anymore. I haven't been able to enjoy a good karting game in years since I don't buy Nintendo consoles, maybe Sonic racing will be decent.

    I have a 5 day weekend starting tomorrow. If anyone feels like getting on a game, BF4, Guild Wars 2, Destiny, send me a text. :D

      Knock out those last few levels tomorrow and lets do a Tequatl run :P We can travel around Sparkfly Fin and see how you hold up against the Risen in that area.

      If you decide to play some BF4 just drop me a text as I usually won't play it on days I work unless I have someone to play with.

      Cool. I think I might be able to survive Tequatl now. :D I'll play some BF4 this weekend, I'll send you a text when I do.

    I heard that Hardline was getting some decent changes to make it more distinct from regular battlefield, but what those changes are I have no idea. As it is now, I'll be passing on hardline and saving my money for Battlefront.
  12. Sledgstone
    I wonder if it'll be another survival mode of endless waves of zombies or if there will be an actual end goal with a beatable objective.

    This Dorkly comic sums it up. http://www.dorkly.com/post/51536/how-buying-videogames-is-different-from-buying-everything-else I doubt I'll be pre-ordering anymore games or buying DLC outside of "game of the year" editions. I've mentioned it before, but I'm disappointed with not getting full games for full purchase prices anymore. Even now when I see that a game has a "season pass" I assume that is the rest of the game and I will need it at some point. I knew I'd play $100 or so worth of BF4 with premium and I easily did. But I dropped around that same amount on COD Black ops 2 back on PS3 and I bet I only played about $30 worth out of that game compared to other games I have enjoyed. When I mention prices, I don't necessarily attach a price to the total game time I play, its more of a combination along with quality and enjoyment. As for Destiny, I still occasionally enjoy / enjoyed Destiny and I believe I got at least my initial $60 out of the game already. But the $40 extra for the expansion pass.. the second expansion will determine that for me, because this first one probably wont impress me. Watch Dogs was probably the best game for the price that I've paid for this year. Well worth the money I paid, I fully enjoyed it. StarCraft 2 has the best expansions. Each one is a full game with around 30 campaign missions, numerous cut scenes, full voice acting, amazing plot, etc., etc. I honestly hope Blizzard makes Warcraft 4 next. I don't play WoW and I'm not interested in paying a monthly fee. Also, WoW is a MMORPG, Warcraft was a RTS like StarCraft.. I would love to get a new Warcraft game with expansions. I mention StarCraft 2 because Activision Blizzard is the publishing company of Destiny. Blizzard Entertainment knows how to do expansions.. maybe Activision gave Bungie the heads up that they expected something similar to what Blizzard does and Bungie are the ones that dropped the ball on content? Blizzard took 3 years to release their first expansion to StarCraft 2. The game never died and everyone rushed back to it when the expansion released. I've been waiting almost 2 years now for the last expansion and I am highly anticipating it. Blizzard was smart about it tho, they never sold an expansion pass. Because once you have someone's money, those people want that product now and not in 3-6 years. Bungie should not have sold expansion passes. They should have given us the full game right off the bat including whats in these first two "expansions" considering these new parts are already in the game but blocked off. They should have let the multiplayer and co-op strikes run their course for a year or two for the hard core fans and then release a huge expansion for $30. With each expansion being the same size as the original game. Its the strategy StarCraft 2 has been doing and its worked out great for that game.

    As if people camping outside stores for Black Friday sales weren't bad enough, players are already camping in the Tower eagerly anticipating Xur's Black Friday sale. The first 50 people to talk to him can buy Raid weapons for 20 strange coins. lol. j/k.

    Halo definitely sounds like a game I'd have liked to play (if I ever owned an xbox system). So it does sound like Bungie can come back from this and make things right. But it feels like they didn't have the plot of the game done. If anything, it seems like the game was rushed with a lack of story, but finished on the technical side of gameplay mechanics. With the first expansion only giving 3 story missions, bungie is setting a precedent for what to expect with their expansions. They are definitely catering to the hardcore players at this point. But if they plan on making the game last 10 years, only their most hardcore players will probably stick around that long. If they want to appeal to the casual player as well, then the second expansion needs more explorable areas and something more than one large un-matchmaking dungeon. I was hoping Destiny would be more of an MMO game. It would have been interesting to travel around on Mars and come across a human settlement or a group of humans / robots working on some relic iron mining operation.. maybe they'd get attacked and we'd save them. Events like that would be interesting.. but instead the public events are all the same thing, a random attack or boss that are getting air dropped into an area that has no believable advantage. Like the Walker public event at The Divide, why would the fallen want that area so bad that they drop a devil walker in there.. they must really want all those random spinmetals. Same with the bosses.. they show up and run around to non strategic locations and then teleport out. The only even that makes sense is the extraction one. The enemies actually have a goal and we're going to stop them so our own people from the tower can get that material they're after instead.. hmm.. nah, nobody needs that stuff, we just want to kill everything that is not a guardian. A new public event that would be nice is a escort mission. It would be cool to come across a NPC guardian that needs to get from location A to location B while killing everything that is not a guardian. Instead of us scanning random things with a ghost, we could escort a NPC to the location he wants to go to so he could scan it with his ghost. lol.

    I never cared much for the 3rd movie except for the Raptors in it. With all the incompetence of the two parents constantly screaming to find their son, I am still amazed that not a single main character died in that movie. At least their family is back together.. yay. It would have been better if both the parents died and the kid got adopted by Grant in the end.
  17. Sledgstone
    I hope this movie finally has the active camouflage dinosaurs from the second book. If I remember right, they were raptor sized carnivores and that species had evolved active skin camo. As they moved you could see their skin rapidly adjusting to the environment to blend in. They sounded terrifying in the book and I've wanted to see them in a movie ever since I read about them.

    Seeds of Truth Begins December 2 I'm at level 62.. I'm getting there.. Almost level 80.. so close.
  19. Sledgstone
    Yes! I love the Jurassic Park movies. Looks like they took some liberties from "Deep Blue Sea" and made a smarter dinosaur. This should be good.

    I'll give bungie credit for making the game work as good as it does. It was a flawless alpha and beta, the game worked great for me at launch, etc. But I wish there was a better overall plot. The game still has a lot of potential, but if they don't give me a new planet to explore in the second expansion then I'll be done with the game because I don't see myself paying more money to bungie for so little in return. And I'd like it if they spent time making new cut scenes and dialogue than adding yet another raid that I'll never play. How is halo's plot in comparison? For the $100 I spent on destiny, compare it to the first 2 halo games for me. I've never played halo so I'm wondering if bungie could do better or not or if this is what we should have expected?
  21. Sledgstone
    If Bungie is planning on having Destiny last 10 years like a full MMO, then they really need to make these expansions much much bigger than what this first one is. Guild Wars 2 keeps releasing new living world missions for everyone for free a couple times a year. For $30 I got a gigantic game in comparison to what I can accomplish in Destiny. BF4 had a more complete campaign than Destiny has now and it took me about 4 hours less to beat it.. and the main character in BF4 never even spoke a word. But for $40 for probably 6 story missions between two expansions is bs. I don't care how many raids they add because they are pointless to me with their current setup. For $40 I could have bought Dragon Age Inquisition on sale this holiday instead of 6 missions. Hell, Watch Dogs was has a much better story than Destiny and it took me around 40 hours to beat.. probably 20 hours tho if you take out all the driving and unlocking optional ctos towers.

    It is alot of money for so little. I feel a bit ripped off with the 2 expansions I already paid for. Its not really an "expansion" if its only 3 story missions to me. I thought the first couple expansions would open up some new worlds with an entire new "expanded" story line.. but I should be able to beat the new missions and the strike in a single afternoon.. and then the raid would require everyone to repeat everything endlessly to level up more armor. ugh. Avolanty is a beast in the game now. He has full map knowledge of the PVE part of the game. The last time I played with him was a few weeks ago with DX and we did the weekly strike on hardest difficulty. I don't think he died once and he revived us repeatedly. I can only imagine the amount of hours he put into the game to get that good. As for me, I just don't have the time or I'd rather split that time up into other games. The endless repetition of bounties has dragged on me so bad that after I stopped playing a week or so ago, I haven't turned it back on yet.

    The new weapons and gear seem cool. I wish the game would emphasize more on the plot and new locations. I was hoping to see a new world shown in this trailer, but it doesn't. Instead it looks like they added some more missions to the earth and the moon and added 1 strike and a raid that I'll probably never complete. But at least there is all new raid gear for the hard core players. I'll definitely play this when it comes out to see how the new story missions are but I wish they would add match making to the raids and weekly missions tho to make the game a bit more enjoyable.
