How playable is Splatoon for us poor saps on the arse end of the world?
I just got a FarCry 4 Complete Edition key (including season pass) for PC at $35.99 (AUD) at Ozgameshop. Actually it was $33.50 since I had some points.
Dammit, I just bought this game last week in the Steam sale for $50.
OK I totally mispoke about this one. Should have read the article. They basically want Destiny players to pay for the original and DLC content we already own, to get some dance emotes? That's crazy. I am a fool and should never be listened to.
I'm keen! Moving this weekend but always up for a raid. I've done VoG a few times and Crota once, so they are still fun to me. Plus always keen for people to do PoE with. I've completed the lvl 32 once.
Only sometimes?

Nice, big fan of Far Cry 4, I'm sure you'll love it

Iron Galaxy's reputation is pretty much fucked at this point. The Borderlands 2 port at least was impressive how they got the whole game down to the Vita despite how rough and poorly redesigned it was (fuck that UI so much).
It looks and run worse than the PS4 version. How this can happen in 2015, who knows.
As for the game it's supposed to be quite good besides the batmobile stuff.
The thing is, they did the Arkham Origins PC port and people seem to like that one, maybe just less resources this time around. At this stage the only advice for people wanting Batman is really just to buy it on console or hold out a few days/weeks to see what happens on the PC front. It is 2015 right?
So he should say that. Joking when people are pissed off is never the right answer for a company. Unless the goal is to make those people more pissed off, which can work. This is not one of those times.
Been looking at them, hows the speeds you are getting?

Yeah I expect it'll be patched up fine by the end of next month.
Pretty sure the PC version of AO got an extra month in development after the console versions (although they were glitch as FUCK too, friend had his save file corrupted 3 times before saying fuck it and returning the game).
Holy shit. I know it's cliche, but if these games are developed on PC, how come they're so scant in these basic features? Oh, and I believe Crossfire for AMD cards is fucked too, with AMD drivers disabling it.
PC is seriously getting shat on as a serious gaming platform when titles have to be ported to it, and not from it. Have people not learned from all the shitty ports done to PC in the past?
I'd never heard of them, but is it fair to lump them in the same basket as High Voltage?
Hi AusGAF! Long time no see. I'll be in Sydney this Thur/Fri for work, I'm after some quick feedback: Jurassic World at the iMax or not?
I rarely watch movies in the cinema due to my local being a shitty independent cinema with lousy seats/sound/screen (and my living room being setup with a PJ...), funnily enough the last film I saw in a cinema was JP3D at the iMax, and that was pretty great.

Nah they aren't THAT bad, they just seem to take on too many projects at times. They also get to do some of their own stuff too at least (Divekick).
Gonna try and jump in on that Big W sale tomorrow and grab myself a PS4. I already have Driveclub and LBP3, so I'll just sell them it trade them in and grab a different game (or two, hopefully). I'm so excited! I'm thinking I should line up early, even though it's in Newcastle, I really don't wanna miss out.

Sounds good, we can get something going this weekend I suppose?
Yeah, even Evil lore called him out and Luke is getting flamed everywhere

Oddly enough it's hard to find the issue with what Evilore quoted there. Certainly not to the extent of 'suck my dick'.

Maybe EL is joking too..
You guys.
The people that are going to want those emotes and extra bits the most are the fans / regular players.
Luke Smith and Bungie are explicitly locking that content behind a collectors edition which requires you to repurchase the game you already own.
Now. Dont get me wrong. They can do what they like. But they are giving those that play their game the finger.

I am, once the bloody thing stopped beeping and ejecting the disc.
Didn't we already establish that Luke Smith is a level designer or something? I kinda doubt he's got anything to do with the product packaging.
Already beaten, but here: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/198290 it's probably the cheapest I've ever seen a PS4 go for at a retail store. I need it.
industrian
will gently cradle you as time slowly ticks away.
I was tempted to get that PS4. But not enough money in my AU bank account, and I don't feel like transferring funds from the UK right now.
And really I'm impressed that someone made a collectors edition with extras that actually stay exclusive so that the collectors edition is actually worth buying. Most times games just shovel out the supposed exclusive stuff after the fact as DLC.
Thanks chief.
Oh sure. Mentioned in that he was the one that got stuck trying to explain it.

Yep. I am not, by any means, dismissing what Bungie are doing but it seems remiss of Eurogamer to ask - and Bungie to allow - a Creative Director to answer questions about product pricing and packaging. This is the reason why a PR handler should have been present to prevent this from happening. If Eurogamer was actually interested in learning the reasoning behind the company decision to release the game in this way, they need to go back to journalism school and learn how to find the correct people to ask the questions they want answers to. It seems like a fairly premeditated trap interview that Luke fell into better than they probably expected
So just to reiterate: Bungie are scumbags for what they're doing, Luke Smith should learn a little bit about professionalism and handling tough situations in interviews, and Eurogamer knew exactly what they were doing when they decided to not ask any product design questions to a designer. The interview should have been handle better by both parties with the greater onus falling on Bungie.

I didn't see any replies, so I'll jump in.
It has been flawless for me, on a typical Perth ADSL connection. Very occasionally a match would drop in the early days but otherwise it has been perfectly playable.
Fair enough. Seems like he thought he was too cool to do the standard PR "That's not something I can comment on." Which is pretty naive really.
I'm sorry >:
Sorry to hear that. I nearly bought it during the Steam sale as well, but my powers of thriftiness warned me to hold out for a bigger discount.
@reptilescorpio - Thanks, I really enjoyed FarCry 3 so I'm looking forward to finally playing this one.
Ah I'm moving this weekend, don't get internet until Monday. My wife is away all of next Saturday though, could raid then maybe? Pretty sure I have you on PSN Death.
Yep, I just want a few of these extra fancy bits, like emotes. Sounds like they might address it in the weekly update this week. Surely they have to offer them separately, after this uproar.
$50 was the price I was willing to pay and it hit $47 Aus in the Steam sale, so I bit.
