Trying to get my parents to get the Gamestop bundle so I get this free with my Slim.

Probably not happen though as there's more chance of them getting a PS3 at Best Buy/Walmart than having to drive around the few smaller Gamestops in the area. I doubt they're getting up at 8am Friday anyway, they arrive the Thursday night.

Would rather they just get a Slim with some free content on Black Friday than get nothing at all :p (as in a vanilla PS3 at $299) I have no idea how crazy you Americans go on Black Friday, well I do a bit, but I dunno if I should expect Slims selling out everywhere just due to the hype surrounding Black Friday and Americans willingness to throw money about for this day.

I'll probably try get Best Buy bundle, LBP GOTY edition would be nice for the DLC, and I obviously don't have Ratchet. Wallmart Bundle isn't much use, I have inFamous/Batman and I've seen The Dark Knight. Some resale value I guess, but I'd rather just get some new games I don't have.

Just so you guys know, my TV shows this playing @ 1080p.

Only 3 more trophies for double-plat.

After having beaten both, I agree w/ DM that GoW2 is the better overall game, combat is better, set pieces and scope are flat-out amazing, but GoW has the better story due to the background on Kratos and the "twist" at the end of GoW2 is hinted at during GoW, so it wasn't that much of a twist.

Also noticed something, there seems to be some influences especially on platforming puzzles, on Uncharted. Which is interesting to me, because most everything else (betrayal story, combat and platforming mechanics, box puzzles) that seems to be influenced by Soul Reaver, which was written and directed by the director of Uncharted.

Finished GoW, now only need the speed run for Platinum :D Damn challenge of the Gods ****ed me off, specially the last 3. Tip for anyone playing CotG. L1+X works great in Challenge #10.

@ soniq: Did you finish the speed run in the first one? How long it took you?

Started the speedrun last night, I'm about 45 minutes in, and about to save the Oracle. I'm a bit slow at it, from other speedruns I've read about, people have finished the game in under 3 hours. I'm using the Tycoonius costume, gives you 2x damage and 4x experience, so I'm rediculously overpowered, making battles shorter/faster/easier.

I only need that, and Challenge of the Titans for double plat.

For the Eye Sore trophy (cyclops eyes), play the first Challenge of the Titans, save, exit to challege selection, then replay it. You can't get all 20 during playthrough.

Most of the Challenge of the Gods wasn't terrible, it's just that you can't save and exit. I kept having to pause and take breaks during #10.

Cool, using Tycoonius. Easy to max the blades. I was around that time when I was saving the Oracle too.

This is so overpowered it's funny. I got the army of Hades, and had enough orbs left over from maxing everything else, that I maxed that out immediately, and still had 7,777 orbs left over, and I haven't even been to the Muse Keys room yet.

Oh, and I'm at 2:49:45, too.

I finished it at 3:10. I died a few times because I thought I was invincible lol. Got all Gorgon Eyes but not the Feathers, I missed 3 but I wasn't looking for all. I rarely used magic.

Now to play God of War 2. :)

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By [deXter] · Posted

      I think you meant the "ntfs3" driver, but yes there have been a lot of fixes for it in this release and previous releases, not 100% sure if the issue you mentioned is fixed though. In any case, the new "ntfs" driver in 7.1 doesn't have that issue (at least, no reports of such have come thru), but your kernel needs to explicitly enable support for the new driver first (like how CachyOS kernel has it), and you need to edit your mount points in /etc/fstab to use "ntfs" instead of the other drivers.
    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.

      Watch Louis Rossmann's recent experience on YouTube about trying to get a warranty replacement from Samsung. It's crazy.
    • Nearly half of American adults now use AI, but concerns are also growing

      That is the thing, how many of these people don't realise they are using AI? If they use Google Search they have no choice but to use AI. So yes, maybe half of American adults do use and I expect a lot of Uk adults do to, but I bet most of them don't realise it. Myself, i avoid the rubbish.

      They use FREE AI. They aren't paying for this meme-generating slopware...
