Why so many articles about Multiversus and only one mention of Rumbleverse last week before it launched? It is unfortunate timing, but Rumbleverse deserves a look, especially since it officially went live August 11.

And for people talking about box office receipts, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, which was entirely in Mandarin, made 128 million in America alone. And that was over twenty years ago, well before the majority of viewers had been exposed to subtitled films via streaming services.

For the people complaining about having to read subtitles during a fast paced action sequence, it’s not like there is a lot of dialogue during the action.

Anyone else missing five or six skins that should have been unlocked with the purchase of the Legendary Edition or Origins Edition? I have had those skins for years and now they are gone.

@pyrrhic_victory Glad you asked. I was curious as well.

@jrt87 I find the activity cards incredibly useful for mopping up trophies (especially for collectibles that I might have missed) or as a hint if I get stuck, rather than having to stop and look up a guide or You Tube video. Plus, it’s super fast to jump into a game at a particular spot. Only wish more developers implemented them.

@Netbean. Good luck with that. I placed a deposit and got on the wait list months ago and still have not received confirmation that I will even get one in the first quarter of 2023. Meanwhile scalpers are getting over $800 for the 256 gig model and between $1000 - $1200 for the 512 GB.

Now I can sell my physical copy of Tony Hawk, which I bought for five dollars at a pawn shop. Should be able to get twenty on eBay.. Another perk of physical over digital. I frequently find used PS4 games for a few dollars at pawn shops and flea markets. Can’t flip digital. .

Has anyone played Like a Dragon that doesn’t care for turned based combat?

Hell yes. Great month. Already have two of the titles (although Tony Hawk is the PS4 version). Love the Yakuza series but skipped Like a Dragon because I’m not fond of turn based combat. I get to try it now that it is free and maybe the Yakuza style will be wacky enough to make it tolerable.

@get2sammyb Ah, but how many accolades did you give out?

I might start A Plague Tale: Innocence again. I just beat it a few days ago but was two leather short from fully upgrading my sling and it kept me from getting the Platinum. Going back to specific chapters doesn’t seem to work for the upgrade as it will not save over the original file. The only way I see to get it is to replay the entire game from the beginning. I hate to waste those hours, but the one missing trophy is truly bothering me. If anyone knows a workaround, please let me know. And I might squeeze in a few games of Multiversus when I get frustrated with rats. At least Tom and Jerry aren’t playable this week.

@ryudo88 @Futureshark Don’t you mean can you paws it during a speed run?
Sorry. I’ve read too many bad puns in this forum recently.

@dschons. Wow. Thanks so much for the recommendation. Somehow missed this on its initial release. Game is developed by Aardman (the team behind Wallace & Gromit) and has a truly unique visual style like an impressionistic oil painting crossed with the rotoscoping technique used in the Linklater film Waking Life. This is a true gem and I never would have known about it without your comment.

This looks promising . Very atmospheric. Reminds me of an early Jamie Bell movie called Death Watch set in the German trenches of World War I. Should be a nice change of pace for horror fans.

@Resi32 I’m not sure about the exact monetary conversion into U.S. dollars, but 30 quid seems cheap. It sells for between $65 and $70 for a used copy on eBay. And there are dozens that have sold at that price. A factory sealed copy goes for $150. Crazy.

Another article speculating about the time frame for a God of War announcement? What are you guys going to write about when they give us an official release date?

@LiamCroft Sorry, but here is another fan of the Pulse headset. Incredibly comfortable and great sound in both games and chat. You must have a really big head.

Of course, I just upgraded to PS Plus Extra yesterday. Too many games to choose from and not enough time. Maybe I can squeeze a few hours in between runs of Returnal and my first try at Dead Cells.
