If you like JRPGs I bet there'll never be a console for you again. I guess the Wii u for the sunshine aspect.

The Vita and 3DS are where the vast majority of JRPGs go nowadays. For the former though, you could get a PSTV and play them on the big screen.

The PS4 is for you with the insane stuff they're localizing out of Japan and what gets announced every month, from Japan. Omega Quintet (delightfully traditional JRPG with next-gen feeling in what little it does changing up the traditional turn-based JRPG combat) is on the list of surprise localisations due this year. Then there's the chance of Dragon Quest Heroes, Square's Project Z being presented in a bit under 24 hours confirmed (Japan Studio joint development), eeeeetc etc etc. Lemme rephrase that; The PS4 will eventually be for you.

I think I'm just gonna hold off and see what the library is when P5 finally comes out.

I'm still amazed J-Stars Victory VS is coming to the US. In fact, I'm blown away those kind of games happen since the licensing stuff must be all sorts of nightmare fuel.

Also poo poo, the JRPGest of JRPGs is on Steam now, Hyperdimension Neptunia. edit: another series that is an 11 on the JRPG meter, Tales, is getting slammed as gently caress over some kind of DLC issue I don't really understand. I think most JRPG fans left in Japan are angry oldtimers who are impossible to please. Samurai Sanders fucked around with this message at 05:01 on Jan 30, 2015 |

Bombadilillo posted:Kind of regretting not jumping on the 20$ dying light since I had no interest in the game. How's single player? Do you need to coop it for fun? I might be stubborn and wait til I can get it used for 20 cause that's what I missed it as. They're both fun for different reasons. The game is much more enthralling and actually sometimes scary (at night) in single player. You don't get that in multi but you do get rings of zombie stomping, which is good too.

I'm cool with ammo being scarce, but it should world loving great when you do get it. One headshot one dead undead dead thing.

The sound of gunfire will draw strong infected towards you though so you can't stick around unless you want to fight a mob.

Eh, I can see why they did it. They're going for a more grounded zombie setting where you need to rely on wits and agility to get through. Guns are meant as more of a get out of jail card free card if you're overwhelmed than something to use all the time.

I thought Graces was pretty complete and done without even touching the Future arc, apparently it was worse with Zestria!

It gets better once you pass the PS2-era graphics and framerates and enter the action-world and figure out the combat down there. I mean, for us old JRPG nerds.

I know A bunch of you are aware of this because it was a launch game, but NFS: Rivals is fantastic. It's also infuriating when you lose all of your points. I'm glad I picked it up, especially for just $12 in the recent sale.

Is it the kind of game where I can almost hold the accelerator down the whole race, crash a few times and still somehow win? Because that's what I like to do.

I seem to have run into a bug with Saints Row. My PS4 is saying the game is fully downloaded and installed but the game kicked me you after the tutorial mission as is saying it's not fully installed when I try to go back in.

To anyone who has Tetris Puyo Puyo, can you share play with people on your friends list or does that region problem thing occur like with a few other games I recall reading about? Would be nice to virtual-couch play with a few peeps.

Unfortunately I didn't think transistor lived up to Bastion at all.  the combat seemed kind of... Sterile, and dry, and it's the whole game. I was hyped for it too. The visuals and music are good but I couldn't stand to play it.Definitely worth a freeby though because it deserves to be in front of people. You can tell they put a lot of effort in, at least!

I've got to get myself a PS3 quick and soon - since I can't get PSNow to work for me, I'm not going to be able to resist picking up the free monthly titles with PS+ such as Yakuza 4. Nevermind I've had a terrible hankering to go back and play Jak and Daxter, Ratchet and Clank and Sly Cooper for loving years now.

Samurai Sanders posted:It's apparently related to a party member joining your party and then disappearing soon after unless you buy some DLC. If that's really the case then that is indeed some serious bait and switch poo poo. It's more complex than that. The advertising prominently featured said character at the start but obviously there were changes during development that moved said character into a supporting role for the story. She's hardly in the party for the first half of the game and leaves permanently by the halfway point (yet weapon shops still sell weapons only she can use.) The DLC is an epilogue story starring her (and is apparently free for just under a month after it releases) that takes place after the main game story.

The worst part is they don't surface it at all normally. Just at a glance there's no difference between a game that is fully installed and one that is still actually downloading.

For a linear game with a gated story it might work - I've downloaded Diablo III, started playing with a new character and didn't even notice it was a partial download, but after trying to play with my later act character (thus far played only on a PL Diablo III game, which is a different download than the multiple languages one) it said that that part of the game is still downloading. For open world games it very rarely seems to work - I wish they patched it so that the partial download is clearly labelled thus, there'd be no confusion then.

You might not always win, but so far the easy challenges have been very generous. It's basically a Burnout game.

I'm at a loss on how I'm supposed to deal reasonable amounts of damage and make battles last less than 15 minutes. Also, apparently, if the existence of the manual for it on the Options menu is any indication, the game has PlayStation Move support. Any idea on how that works?

I'm still going through my back catalog on PS3 and, while I'm interested in a few PS4 games, I was planning to wait for an Uncharted 4 bundle. What's the year two price drop probably going to be? $50? This definitely seems like the best value I'd get until long after UC4 comes out, right?
