I have to say It's pretty jarring to me how much better Infinite looks on a PC...
Not trying to hate, but this game definitely stands out vs. other multiplatform titles

Interesting! I thought it looked pretty OK, because it had a specific art style that wasn't completely realistic but also wasn't completely cartoonish either.
Might you be able to point to a screenshot of what you think is representative of the better look of the PC version? I really don't frequent PC-focused stuff, so I wouldn't know where to look for a good shot.

Tried playing that and Borderlands on PS3 after playing on PC and no. Just can't do it. So ugly.

Huh... clicked on the store link, logged into my account on PC... brings me to the japanese website... How the heck do I get back to the US store? I know my account is US based since I use it on my PS3 without issue.
I haven't played it on PC, but, I was overly suspicious when I looked into the various telescope things around the world and my first thought was "what am I supposed to be seeing here? Fog?" I assume the draw distance is much better on the pc version.

Wife away on business has allowed me to chip away at my backlog last week-
Just finished Brothers (soo good) and DMC this morning. Completed Bioshock infinte, Tomb Raider Definitive Edition and Deus EX last week as well.
Getting ready for all the new ps+ drops on Tuesday. Making space on the HDD(s) feels great

It can also come from using wireless to download games. I had many problems trying to download Borderlands 2 through wireless: once the game would download and start installing, I'd get a failure after 14% every time. Any packet loss will cause a failure, so be sure to monitor your internet quality and download at off-peak times.
I was able to finally download the game, but it took nearly half a dozen tries and an eventual overhaul of our internet service.
Ah OK it stops at 14% for me every time too. My internet does kind of suck but I've been able to DL everything else just fine...weird.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
I don't get it, when exactly will Outlast be released in EU PSN? Seems to me it's frikkin' country locked and not region locked or something? Like they're releasing it in bunches and not simultaneously through entire regions...
It will get released tomorrow normally. It won't get released in certain Asian-PAL countries due to local laws where it gets replaced by Sound Shapes.
Lordy. Welcome to GCT - Grace Chen time. Sometime on Tuesday afternoon/early evening. It's been a lot better in the past few months than it used to be, when updates could drop any time from early tuesday afternoon to Wednesday...

Do we have any clue which game comes out free today for the U.S.? I'm hoping for Outlast, but really anything would be fine given the good selection this month.
Outlast (PS4) and Metro: Last Light (PS3)

Thanks, guys. Missed that blog post, and didn't see anyone mention it here. Helluva start to the month.

I'm gonna ask a question that I'm sure has been answered a billion times but I want to make sure I understand correctly.
I don't own a Vita, but may get one down the line. I am a PlayStation Plus member. If I log on to the PlayStation Store and add free Vita games to my cart and "purchase" them, that will put them in my permanent PS+ collection so that I can just download them at a future date when I get a Vita?
Also, is there an easy way to see what Vita games are currently free with PS+? Seems like it would be easy but the store certainly doesn't seem to let one sort things that way.
Thanks in advance.

1. Yes
2. On your PS3 PSN you can go to the vita page and the instant game collection should be there with all the games currently free on Vita. I believe.

Would that be why I can't connect to my account? I was starting to worry as there's no "maintenance" error, just an error message telling me I can't connect to my PSN account...
I dare say I'm enjoying it too, and I haven't even unlocked much yet (easy on the spoilers, thanks!)
Maybe it's just that I haven't played many FPSs recently, and I'm not burned out by the Bioshock aesthetic (I'm actually more impressed by the world and characters than I thought I'd be).
First 2-3 hour mark spoilers:
During the whole of that section where you rescue Elizabeth from the statue and see it tumbling down while riding the Skyline, my jaw was agape. The introduction of her "protector" was great as well.
I'm starting to think that all the hate the game got was just misdirected hype backlash and verbal diarrhea from jaded reviewers. As a modern shooter, it's vibrant and carries some interesting themes. As the next Bioshock game, it's living up to (and in some areas exceeding) my expectations.

Same here. It's almost like Sony wants me to hate my PS4 and keep loving my PS3.

PSN store is not available in my region. I guess Sony has abandoned the US... I really thought we had a good thing going

haha, getting the same error message
I kept getting the same error message but I was able to get in and get Outlast downloading. Unfortunately it's horribly slow. 3 hours to go. PSN normally maxes out my internet connection

Ok, at least I am not the only one seeing this message. Sony turned on the US for the UK I guess.

Grace Chen had enough of the ribbing about her release time shenanigans. Next we see The Last Guardian and Agent as Sony UK exclusives and we get ports of Street Fighter: The Movie and Bubsy 3D
It's a really good game. It's a linear campaign unlike STALKER but it has some really great, options-filled combat scenarios (some you can even go totally non lethal through). The story is... alright, but the actual gameplay mechanics more than make up for it. Also it's drop dead gorgeous even on PS3, and manages a solid framerate.
I got Metro 2033 for Steam. Should I play that first?
It's up to you. The storyline of Last Light gives a good recap of what happened in the first game so you wont be out of the loop. 2033 is still an amazing game in it's own right, so it's worth playing I think, just not essential for the story.
Thanks. I may need to at least tinker a bit on its settings. I've set it to max settings for 720p and still get some nasty frame skips. Anyway, enough of that.
So Metro Last Light is the first game this month huh?
The shooting mechanics are definitely more refined than 2033, so there's that. I personally thought the moment to moment gameplay was extremely satisfying; audio-visual feedback for each gun is a treat, each gun feels different and has it's use, and stealth is actually pretty decent for a game that's mostly a shoot-bang through and through.
Good to know...Thanks.

Recently downloaded Bioshock Infinite and have played a bit. I agree about that setpiece near the beginning being great but...does the gameplay ever get good? I don't really like first person shooters so that's probably the main problem.
I too don't like first person shooters so till the end wasn't very fond of the gameplay.
The world and story were definitely worth playing for though.

I played it to the end even if the combat felt very janky to me. It has a fairly unique setting, forgettable story but good enough to make you want to see how it ends. Don't play it if you've just finished another third person platformer like Uncharted or Tomb Raider.
I wrote a thing on the previous page about how I felt about the combat, as someone completely sick of the FPS genre (one of the reasons I have little interest in playing Metro right now) I thought the combat in Infinite was great, it just takes a while to get going. Once you unlock enough powers you barely ever have to use a gun. Really though it's just one of those ymmv things. You can go through the entire game just shooting people and have a boring time, but, if you actually use the various abilities you start to see a ton of synergies between them all and it's a lot of fun.
I will never get sick of using the charge ability to dash around the battlefield leaving dead bodies as crow traps and then using the water ability to drag guys into said traps. That was even more fun/useful because I had a piece of gear that stunned every nearby enemies when I did overkill damage, so I could round enemies up in one place and perma-stun them as long as I had them in a vulnerable state.
I'd actually suggest turning on damage numbers as well (in the options) because it gives you a good idea of how effective you currently are. Some of the abilities make enemies vulnerable to bullet damage and it makes a pretty big difference in total damage done so the game rewards you for mixing the abilities with the your shots.

WTF?!
Don't Starve is going away today (replaced by Outlast), yes, but it's not supposed to be gone until midnight or something. And as you can see it's clearly still shown as free for PS+ members. But I'm not allowed to download it? What is this shit? Same problem if I try on on the SEN site.
(Yes, I should have downloaded it a bit earlier, but still. WTF.)
