My friend is selling to me, it has 3 or 4 scratches on the main screen that are deep - I am thinking of using a screen protector to mask them? Also a very small "dent" in the screen near the bottom - not sure if it is a dent though. On the camera area one of the cameras has a 4 light scratches over it and there is a very small deep scratch on the side - but it doesn't go over any of the lenses.

He's selling it to me for 200 CAD and won't go any lower...my S10+ broke and I am thinking of buying the S20 off of him. Especially because it has MicroSD functionality, though it loses the headphone support.

I had no idea this was the case, I literally just searched it up. I played a bunch, but now the servers are down...

Anyone have the full collection of SP UGC missions saved? Maybe upload them on YT for everyone to experience if you can.

Just wanted to send a reminder post regarding this for anyone and ask for any recommendations of UGC trophies.

Impact of this issue: Platinum trophies for Infamous 2 will no longer be attainable after this date. Also, 1 Infamous FoB trophy will not be attainable either - ie. unable to 100% FoB trophies after this date.

Infamous 2 requires you to complete 5 missions to unlock UGC missions, however FoB requires you to complete the entire story of around 3-5 hours to complete.

FoB took me around 7 hours to 100% everything.

I hope Sucker Punch and Sony reverses this decision.

Anyways are there any UGC missions one should consider playing in FoB or inFamous 2?

As per title, when is FO4 save data going to be made available.

Still got to do inFamous 2. (got the UGC trophies already)

But seriously, exactly to the day - 13 years ago, I played festival of blood and then never really returned to it until today. There was a 7-8 year period where I just never turned on my PS3 in between, just because of life.

Anyways, I think the game was honestly decent. A bit on the shorter end, but not too short. Idk how the IGN guy finished the game in 80 minutes, game definitely takes atleast 4 hours to finish. I went for the 100% trophy completion and it took me around 7 hours.

I really liked the new gameplay features we get, the flying around, the blood sucking to refill, using the x-ray vision, staking etc., however it doesn't fundamentally change the gameplay. Feel like more risk could be taken here, but the gameplay is still great overall. Really like what they did with flying though, it could have been boring, but it is engaging enough to keep things interesting.

I really like the tone of the game, really reminds me of Arkham City.

Story wise, there isn't too much here. It isn't anything too special, fairly by the numbers - I called the ending twist with the bar girl in the opening scenes lol. Ig the story isn't really canon?

Another thing that I found weird was the UGC missions in the middle of the story - felt out of place and frankly weird. Why did they need UGC missions there, why couldn't they have just voiced it? Just feels very cheap. Especially, because the comics scenes for the UGC are actually far more interesting, where Zeke and Cole are weighing the morality of their actions - shame that conversation goes nowhere really though.

Overall, I really liked it - but I wished there was more to it. This was the last inFamous content we got on Playstation 3 from Sucker Punch, so wished there was more in the gameplay, definitely more in the story and more to do (no side missions either, outside of fan made UGC). I think it is an 8/10 if 1 & 2 are 9+/10.

PS: for the UGC trophy you need to complete the entire story, then only then, you will get access to UGC content.

Tried to run it, add it to the Ubisoft library, but it doesn't work....please help - how to run this on Geforce now for the free weekend?

I can't get to play it on Geforce now, not sure how to add to my library. It just crashes upon startup.

The movie is well executed and has great acting with iconic horror scenes.

However, the plot is holding the film back IMHO. The plot is painfully mid, here's why:

1. The plot is highly predictable. I found it very easy to predict what was going to happen next, there is one scene where I even predicted what was going to happen and in what way - that's exactly what happened. This is how it is the entire movie.
2. There are a lot of "why" questions left at the end. Forexample, why does she not love him like a normal person? Why is she acting strange? This is never explained.

a. If there are split personalities, then the wish never really came true. He wanted HER to love him, but instead another "entity" takes over, that is not HER. Why does another entity take over?

b. If the company holds the original soul, then why is she able to take over the body?

c. Why didn't he just manipulate her by saying "if you love me, then stop doing x behavior?" She clearly listens to him and at times he is able to manipulate her, but she keeps doing weird things.

d. Why does she decide to stand there and wait all day? There is a WHOLE montage of her doing her job like a normal person and loving him, but suddenly she decides to pee/poop and smile awkwardly while standing facing the door the ENTIRE day? This makes absolutely no sense to me and feels like it was there to be an iconic scene and nothing more.

e. If she really loves him, why does she stand there and watch him sleep weirdly? Again, if she loves him, she can sleep right beside him - be closer to him, why is she doing this? Her actions make no sense.

f. If she loves him, why does she feed him his cat? Even when he clearly said he wants a proper burial for the cat. Feeding him the cat, could potentially kill him...again it also doesn't make sense here.

g. Also why does his friend, after getting a billion dollars, comes into get shot in the face lol?

3. The main character is too much of a pussy to ever take a stand, I mean, at a certain point you'd expect the character to take a stand with all of what is going down. But, that never really happens, it just doesn't make sense.

This movie is great or amazing if you don't value the plot and shut off your brain, yes the acting and sequences are amazing - but the plot is mid at best. The plot is a critical part of a movie, because that is the sequence of events - ideally every move should make sense within the set universe.

Here, the plot is only there to take you from one iconic well-acted and executed horror sequence to another - like a checklist. Instead, of feeling like a cohesive well thought out story.

I have watched the director's YouTube shorts and honestly it really feels like the plot was taken from there. The key elements:

1. Have a dumb/naieve/pussy character that is unable to question or have the courage to do so.
2. Make awkward and weird stuff happen.
3. Laugh or get scared and profit???

It works in a YouTube short that I watch for free, I expect better things from the plot of a movie.

I am not sure how people look at this movie and give it a 9 or 10 out of 10. If the actors/actresses did not go above and beyond with their abilities, this movie would be a 5 out of 10, it really lives on the performance of the cast (which was amazing). Overall score: 7/10

For those who don't remember, they tried to shut down the PS3 stores before and we were able to make them change their ways. Why aren't we trying that again.

This honestly BS.

Clearly, the PS3 has a much bigger userbase than the PSVita, not to mention the PS3 is a main line console.

This has terrible implications for PS4 and PS5 as well.

WE NEED TO PROTEST THIS NONSENSE, BOYCOTT SONY'S FUTURE AND GO TO PC

We need to do something before the first stores are down in Mexico (next month). Which is fucked up, Mexico users only get 1 MONTH of notice.

If anyone of you folk have money, maybe it's time to lawyer up on of all of our behalf...

And seriously, how much is Sony seriously saving by taking the three servers offline for the PS3 store? a penny relative to the rest of their revenues?

Looking for a 2.5 Ton unit (30,000 BTU I think?) as my A/C broke down.

Budget friendly options please, so far I've seen Midea, but nothing below 2600 so far.

If anyone has any advice to save money on this, I would appreciate it.

Honestly, after enjoying and playing the game and DLC for around 100 hours I put in. I think the BoS is the only one that can realistically defeat the Institute. Unless the Institute are that incompetent.

The whole Railroad storyline depends on the fact that the Institute never find out that their synths are planning a rebellion. But, given the impression of the Institute and the level of control over the Commonwealth - are you seriously telling me they would have zero ideas on what their synths are thinking? In other words, the SRB have no way to monitor what decisions their synths are making and what they are thinking at all times? I find that really hard to believe. The Institute has eyes all over the Commonwealth with their crows and have infiltrated every major settlement/faction, yet they have no way to know what their synths are up to? That just doesn't make sense.

This ending also depends on the fact that we eliminate a bunch of synths in the tunnel, are you seriously telling me that once we get into a firefight with the synths in the excavation - that the Institute has no idea of knowing that they lost a bunch of synths in the tunnels?

Similarly with the Minutemen ending, they so happen to have an external pipe for the nuclear reactor. Which btw, is guarded, and after killing them - they again, have absolutely zero idea that their synths are down and have no watchers in an vulnerable area? That is laughable.

(Not to mention, that before the final battle - both the Railroad and Minutemen are crippled to around half of their normal capacity, making it seem less realistic that they would be able to manage what they do)

Then it's the final battles, I'm sorry - but the Minutemen and Railroad can't take the Institute down, even if they were together. If the Institute has a bunch of synths, willing to lay their lives for the Institute + scientists, then I'm sorry but 4 Railroad agents, 13 synths and 5 Minutemen won't cut it. You need an army to take them down, the Institute was heavily nerfed in the ending for both these factions IMHO.

Either the Institute are highly incompetent and should have died decades ago. Or, they were heavily nerfed implying that the endings weren't factual/canon for RR and MM.

Now, why does the BoS ending make more sense? Realistically, with a threat like the Institute, the only way to take them down is guns blazing. And only one faction has the power to do that: the BoS. I highly doubt that the Institute will have zero idea what is going on internally. I mean just look at the BoS ending, the Synths are already ready for Liberty Prime as it menacingly walks over to CIT. So, if they are ready for Liberty Prime as it walks over to CIT - how do they have ZERO idea about infiltration from RR or MM?

The BoS are the only faction, with Liberty prime, that can realistically take down the Institute head on. They have the numbers, the tools and frankly the will to get the job done. It seems like a big stretch for the RR or MM to get the same job done, unless the Institute is really stupid. And if they are this stupid, then I don't think they deserved to last centuries.

I also think that there should have only been two endings: BoS and Institute. And that there might have originally been a plan for two endings only as well. Why? Because Fallout historically, always likes having controversial endings, not the "perfect happy ending". By only having the Institute or BoS as options, they achieve exactly that. By going with BoS, you save the people of the Commonwealth from the Institute, but you still have the BoS and what are their intentions? They also view Synths as machines only (don't agree with this myself). Meanwhile, the Institute supports the existence of synths (and makes them!), killing them would stop the creation of synth species, but they terrorize the people of the Commonwealth and view synths as the future to serve the Institute. Only having these two endings, would actually allow for a moral conundrum (like in Far Habor). Evidence of this is, well it is only these two endings where things really change in the Commonwealth. Diamond City (if BoS wins) has BoS flags and BoS staff roaming around. Conversely, if Institute win - you have Institute synths roaming around and the people of Commonwealth in the hands of the Institute. Also, the ending cutscenes are literally the same for destroying the Institute (really just 2 endings). Finally, having an ending where you only choose between two evils would have been far more interesting and much more in line with what Fallout is about.

Just finished my playthrough of FO4 (all 4 endings and Automatron, Nuka Cola and Far Harbor main storylines complete).

Before this, I completed my first FO, FO76, a couple of months ago. And I have to say, I enjoyed this FAR MORE than FO76. Lot's of people were telling me to not bother with FO if I didn't enjoy the updated FO76 that is basically "fallout". FO76 still doesn't have much of a story and zero polish compared to FO4, lots of bugs in FO76. There is also a far better single player focus in FO4, FO is a single player game, adding grindy multiplayer really ruins the experience.

I really loved the companions here (non existent in 76) and that they have their own quests as well. They can add more to dialogue (Nick in FH) but also make you feel like you aren't going in alone.

There is also the ability to do whatever I want, if I want to oppose a faction, just mow them down - that isn't possible in many linear games, which is very cool.

Gameplay wise, I was surprised how good the gun play was. I heard bad stuff about gunplay in FO games. I enjoyed melee weapons a lot as well. The crafting was cool and for most of the game it wasn't forced, which I liked. Though in the DLC of Automatron I found it to be a bit annoying. I think it is a bit clunky and there is also the segment in FH where the data block hack forcefully uses this, killing all momentum in the game. Some of the villains are a bit too bullet spongey, Mirelurks being an example, which I didn't like.

Story wise, I enjoyed FH and the main game story for the most part. I really liked the pre-war world in the beginning where we make our character in a well integrated way, wish there was more. Also liked how the kid was an actual mix of the two mom and dad characters. For the main game story, it fell flat at the endings however. It just seemed too similar for all 4 endings, making it seem less important to choose a faction. It was really just 2 choices with illusion of 4, but really just 1 ending. The FH story line seems to have a bit more weight to choices and all choices will have you doing something morally wrong (ie. there is a BEST choice, not a perfect happy ending choice which I liked). Another thing for the main story, it seemed like we are too focused on faction story lines rather than actual main mission story quests, kind of ruined the flow a bit. I like in FH, faction quests are fairly minimal and the focus remains on figuring out the mystery of the factions and the path forward to the island. I also like that choices can be made for all factions and for FH particularly, you get to see the changes to the environment for the bad ending for FH.

Dialogue options were disappointing. The choices displayed were not telling the full dialogue and WTF is "sarcastic"? It felt like this part was quickly rushed and borrowed from The Walking Dead, but implemented worse.

Sound wise, I enjoyed it. I really liked the background music in FO4. That theme in Diamond City/Goodneighbor is amazing (nostalgic, longing for better times, but hopeful and determined for the future, this theme is my favorite as it covers all emotions IMHO), the Institute theme is also amazing and I also liked the RR theme as well. The guns also sound great. One thing that was disappointing was the radio in this game (apparently a lot of the songs are from FO3 anyways) and it is quite repetitive. I turned the radio on very late in my playthrough (basically only for FH, since the environment was creepy and I wanted something less scary), and was still able to get through all the songs lol. It was also repeating talking points about events that had already happened, multiple times. I will say though, the songs available on the radio station, I liked, especially Wanderer (which is unfortunate that it is missing from newer editions, because that was the signature song for FO4 like Country Roads for FO76).

Graphically and performance wise, it is a mixed bag and disappointing. In some areas the game is very poor graphically (early PS3 level graphics) in others, because of the timeless art style, it can hold up today. However, the loading screens are very annoying. The elevator takes forever and opening a door could lead to a 2 minute loading screen, ruining all momentum. Even on beefy PCs this is really disappointing.

Culturally, this game was very big in 2015. Part of why I checked this out is because of the nostalgia I have for a decade ago, in university - remembering my prof praising this game and many of my friends as well. I remember being wowed at the cool way they had us create the character. 2015 was a much more optimistic time than now in retrospect, even for FO (FO76 being a disaster and FO5 being something released far away, atleast we have the TV show). Maybe, I should try to stop making up for what I missed in the past and live instead in the now? Idk, I think too much nostalgia can be dangerous.

Overall, I enjoyed this game a lot, the customization is amazing and different ways to get to different endings is great, I also loved the companions (Nick especially). I love how close it is to the real life Boston as well. There are drawbacks however and I think the game would be a 7.5/10 but with FH it is an easy 8/10 (even FH lost me with that datablock clunky segment). Fewer loading screens, more consistent graphics, better radio station, better dialog options and more meaningful endings in the main story would have made it a 10/10.

Just need to get these done, only have 2 hours to finish it all please help any guides would be apprecaited to save time.

So which side missions do I need to complete to get each of the 4 endings?

For reference, I have the condenser code and the proof that Avery is dead. Not sure where to go from here. Any advice would be appreciated.

Are they available to us? If not, when will they be made available to us?

Would appreciate any news on this front.

Literally, stop watching Pak Cricket please. This is the only power we have, if you don't like Aqib Javed or the team - just stop watching.

Let the stadiums rot. Let support dwindle. There'll always be some nostalgic uncle supporting our team in West Indies or something (they don't need us to support), but the rest of us don't need to support a system that has shunned merit based recruitment.

Personally, I stopped watching Pak Cricket for 5 years, after we lost the WC 2011 Semi to India. I started watching again in late 2016, when they had upset the T20 WC 2016 champions (West Indies) and go on to beat them 3-0 in that series in UAE. They then went on to win CT 2017.

But, they have won nothing since 2017. 2021 and 2022 are good showings, but no cup to show for it. 2024 absolutely broke this team, maybe it was the 2023 Asia cup.

Either way, it's all behind us now. We need to improve, but there are no signs of change or trying different things. It's a mess, I think it is the best time to stop watching Pakistan Cricket.

Not only are things going to mentally improve if you stop watching and watch some other form of entertainment. But, Pakistan Cricket will feel the hurt in their wallets, in their image and most importantly in sponsors and brand recognition. Think about it, if no one cares about Sheenu or Naseem anymore, why would anyone watch an ad from them? Or care about their sponsors?

I am already boycotting them until the WC atleast, I suggest as many of you that are upset to do the same. Go play a video game, watch movies or TV shows.

Asking because I'm in Ontario, Canada and our fascist government is forcing us to forcibly move onto 15% Ethanol in our fuel. I know in the manual it always says nothing above E10, but I really need to know?

I am thinking of taking Nick Valentine because he is a synth and resistant to radiation (but I've done a whole bunch of missions with him).

Paladin Danse I left at Fort Strong, he is a bit too loyal to the BoS cause.

I'm thinking Piper, since I didn't do any missions with her. But, she isn't a synth and has no power armour? Any advice?

Hello,

I drive my car once a week only for around 75-100 KM. I heard recently that Ontario is moving to E11 fuel and is already trying E15 fuel in some areas, however Mazda Canada says you need to ensure you put E10 fuel and no higher ethanol in the car, or else your warranty is voided.

I just put 87 octane regular from Petro in the GTA and I am not sure if I just put in E15 fuel in my car that needs E10...

What do I do? And will my car be damaged, I just bought a brand new car for the first time - buying a CX-5 because I heard it has good reliability, but the government wants to destroy my car.

Please advise.

Thanks.
