I started playing Jedi Fallen Order. It's pretty good! The animations are very wonky though. Like the jump animation is the same if you are standing still or at a full run and it's very strange. Also when you sprint the main character does this weird posture where he hunches his torso down. I wonder if this was strange motion capture or just strange animation choices?

I'm just guessing, but it's possible FO being their first attempt at a third person action adventure lead to some of the clunky looking aspects of it.

It wasn't great but I thought it was almost good, just didn't stick the landing. I'm willing to be cautiously optimistic about the sequel. Mostly because of titanfall related good graces. I did not like their take on Star Wars much though.

FFX-2 is the best JRPG ever made but you have to play through FFX (also very good) to see why.

Well I finished Rats of Us 2, finally, after they fixed the instant death on continue bug. Didn't hate the ending as much as most people but I'm happy to let stuff be cynical with a capital C and sometimes you just gotta bash a kids head in with a rock.

rolled credits on ragnarok. wish i could go back to my GOTY list and demote it a few slots. there was one emotionally resonant line of dialogue but overall it wasn't nearly as dramatically successful as it wanted to be. what a disappointment. '18 was much better

Feels like a complete afterthought. At least the middle tier is okay but jeez.

The thing about PS+ Premium is that it's basically just trying to trick people into trying PSNow with the Classics as a halfhearted extra, but streaming games sucks so people ignore it and rightly point out how bad the game offerings are.

Honestly I don't mind ps+ premium. But it's only an extra $20 a year and I still use the ps3 streaming occasionally. The handful of ps1/psp games they add helps too. I mean I played ape escape and that game still holds up decently well.

They should add Xillia 2 to streaming (unless it's already there) so I don't have to go break out my PS3 to finally play that game

What's the consensus around the whole vertical PS5 debacle? Was that just a lie from some no-name site or what's going on? I've only heard it from wololo and then everyone else parroting.History Comes Inside! posted:Sony already got my money for premium (I took the upgrade option when it first came out and renewed it for the year for what wasn’t a terrible price, so I already got a deal tbf) so I can go gently caress myself this time I guess lol, but that’s on me for being a consumer I've had the lowest tier for years now and it's kind of worthless, even on that. The only game I got from it was that Nickelodeon Smash clone and even that's not really worth it.

It could be bad under the following circumstances: -Your PS5 has a severe manufacturing defect -Your PS5 was knocked over or had some other kind of physical trauma -You tried to mod your PS5 and hosed it up If none of these apply to you, it's not a problem OK, the first one is not something you have any control over, but if it were a widespread issue we would have heard a lot more about it from a lot more places by now

It definitely doesn’t help that I have a steam deck now so I can play pretty much all of the PS1/PS2 games I might want to on a handheld thanks to the magic of emulation and I don’t have to rely on Sony making them available.

It's not even just misleading clickbait, it's more of a straight up fabrication. "You are killing your PS5 by keeping it vertical" is objectively false (by the reported information at least) - if the seal keeping the liquid metal in springs a leak, your PS5 will, at that point, be susceptible to failure because of it, and I imagine the failure will happen pretty quick. There's no reported cumulative risk that can be mitigated by keeping your PS5 horizontal. It's like saying "you're killing your wine by storing it in a wine rack" because a few bottles sprung a leak and dumped on the floor.

I'm playing DQXI finally, and it's great! Some parts are excellent, but mostly it's good/great. I have made peace with not being able to listen to Spotify while playing. I guess because the guy who did the music (RIP) was a far-right piece of poo poo? So now I'm also playing Dragon Quest Builders 2 and it is also great. I loved the first one. Anyway, same problem. Can't use Spotify. Is this just a "me" issue or are they seriously preventing me from changing the music in my own goddamn game, again?

I've noticed it more in Japanese-published games compared to western-published games, but there's not too much of a trend on who will allow or disallow it other than devs/publishers that are particularly touchy about their music rights (like with the Dragon Quest series). It sucks, I agree. It should be a feature that's available in every game.

That's loving absolutely insane. I thought it was bad enough trying to Spotify when playing Kiwami 1, but at least they let you do it. Sure, there don't seem to be any sound/music settings whatsoever, but at least you can do it. It's like how MS (or was it Sony?) was like, "You'll never have to hit a trigger and a bumper button simultaneously in a game. We won't allow it on our new console" and then absolutely never enforced that, leaving us with lobster claw in some game. Bad companies.

The DQ series is usually kind of fucky about that in weird ways. DQ Warriors has streaming restrictions so severe that you can’t shareplay anything other than the title screen.

My only reservation about recommending emulation over piss pass is the hassle (and maybe legal risk in Europe?) of tracking down ROMs, but otherwise it's gotten so easy that it's almost a no brainer if you have a PC with a half decent CPU. I've spent the past few months getting emulation in place for a range of consoles from SNES to Wii, and it's been weirdly empowering to know I have it all set up to my liking with every game I could want without needing to maintain old hardware or a corporation's ongoing permission. Similar pleasure as running a Plex server but way way easier.

Finally got the video of my fight with Old King Allant at the end of Demon Souls uploaded. Kind of forgot I had saved it. What a fight. I was trying so hard to play it safe because, I said before, a year ago when I played Demon Souls I quit out because of this boss. Must’ve tried upwards of 20-30 times and just could not kill him. I think Elden Ring and beating Sekiro (definitely) has drastically improved my fighting abilities in these games. So I reloaded my old Demon Souls save and beat the game on my 3rd try. It felt like a book closing. Really amazing job Bluepoint did with the game’s ending. Spoiler that after the fight the rest of the ending cutscene is recorded so don’t watch past the fight if you don’t want to spoil that ending of Demon Souls!! https://youtu.be/N0n57pJSe00 I hope you all enjoy, and whomever in here was playing through Elden Ring right now you all better post your fights too!! It’s so rad watching someone prevail. Soulsborne fight vids are better than porn.

Soulsborne fight vids are better than porn. My Elden Ring fights are all extremely boring, since all I do is summon Latenna and then throw Black Fire until the boss is dead. Best game I've ever played, I'm extremely impatient to finish it so I can start over with a different character.

So I'm a few hours into Last of Us part I (just got the bow), and for the most part it's been amazing, but I'm running into an issue where items I pick up are just vanishing instead of entering my inventory. It only happens about half the time and I've only noticed it affecting shiv and first aid kit materials. It's not totally game-breaking, but I suck at survival horror games and so I'm worried about building up a deficit and getting stuck in a bad spot with no supplies. This sound familiar to anyone?

The issue might be that you're very rarely getting a "full" material, it's usually a half or a quarter of one, so it might not be enough to craft from immediately.

The crafting material icons are divided into four pie-slices. When you pick up a rag, you might only be picking up 1/4 of a rag. The symbol is shaded to indicate how much material you're getting, but it's easy to overlook.
