Let's just look at some recent posts in the thread:

There's supposed to be a hotfix releasing today because there was an issue with the latest patch where players with lots of friends on their friends lists couldn't connect/join games.

Napolean Bonerfarts posted:

You're not in the Xbox Preview Program by any chance are you? People are reporting that the Wireless Display (Miracast) app is causing issues with the game searching for matches. Something about an ad-hoc wi-fi connection or whatnot. Try uninstalling it if you have it. If you're not then it's probably just you—just saying. Maybe uninstall some Xbox apps and check your router/internet settings.

If you google Master Chief Collection, the top result is a news article where 343 calls it a "black eye" on the franchise while promising Halo 5 won't have the same problems.

Unrelated, Race the Sun is a fun way to lose track of time. It fits in nicely with Resogun and BoI as "I'll play a few rounds... wait, it's WHAT time now?" games.

The motion blur was bad, but I think the problem is they added some really amazing light/fog effects in an effort to pretty up the game but did absolutely nothing to make the models/textures look good. Yeah, graphics aren't everything but there was zero reason it needed to be on the PS4 since it's literally an upscaled PSP game with nice lighting effects. It's ugly as gently caress.

I mean, it's not a terrible game but charging $60 (or $80 after tax in Canada) for what amounted to a low-effort HD port (not even a remaster) was pretty lovely.

It's a full-on tragedy it looks so bad, because if you read the digital foundry article the port house actually did a really really good job putting the game on a modern engine, only for Square-Enix proper to put zero effort into up-scaling the PSP art assets.

It had a lot of problems on release with matchmaking. Which made it pretty much impossible to actually play any of the multiplayer part, you know, they big thing about the product. It was so bad that if you had purchased the MCC before a certain date they're giving you the Xbone remaster of ODST for free.

For me, "war is hell" fiction is way more important to get out there than "war is awesome" fiction.

The weirdest thing was the movie Fury, which started out like the former and then suddenly changed to the latter like nothing had happened.

I'm way, way late to the party on this, but I just found out that none of the GTAV single player save data can be transferred to PS4. That pretty much guarantees I'll never play it even though it was bundled with my PS4. I spent forever getting all those damned UFO pieces and murder mystery scraps and whatever else. If I do wind up playing it again, I'll have to use cheats to even make re-playing lots of the story campaign fun or tolerable.

Apart from GTAV, all the remasters have been on sale a few months after they came out.

I'm still waiting for DmC to go on sale, since the new version seems to fix all the gameplay problems I had with the original version. It was still a decent game when it came out, but now I won't be struggling with the wonky auto lock-on.

DMC4 Special Edition is a day one purchase for me, though.

So is Airmech Arena a free PS+ game? Someone told me it was but I didn't see it on any of the lists. Or is it just a F2P thing. Either way it looks kind of rad and I'm looking forward to trying it out today.

I think it's on sale on the EU store right now for £11.99, but it and Saints Row IV are pretty poor ports if you have an old PC that can still run them at 1080p60 on max settings.

The problem with some of these games were that their PC ports were too good. I'd love to have versions of Saints Row 2 or Deadly Premonition that were guaranteed to work, the Mass Effect trilogy where you didn't have to mod in controller support, and definitely Dark Souls where sliding down ladders with 60 fps hacked in doesn't sometimes make you fall through the floor. Resident Evil 4 got an entirely new PC port, but most of these other games are no longer supported and would only get any effort put in if they were ported to a new platform.

Capcom significantly improving the Devil May Cry games is a great excuse to buy the new versions though, and I'd love to have some of the better PS3 exclusives since there was never the option to play those at a higher resolution or framerate. A lot of the later games like Ratchet & Clank: Into the Nexus, Beyond: Two Souls, and Puppeteer could easily have been PS4 launch games and still looked better than other games at the time.

If you like the idea of Monster Hunter mostly paired down to killing big monsters then crafting poo poo from their bits and none of the other stuff and also being a bit more straight forwards twitch actiony then yeah.

Nope. The heist update also didn't add a thing to SP.

Rockstar only cares about their MMO. It brings in microtransaction money.

If you only ever played it at release they did end up making some changes to SP, like adding in the quick menu and letting you do stuff like changing hats, glasses and masks without having to go to a wardrobe.

Yeah, which makes things weirder. Porting the mechanic and online properties to SP shouldn't be TOO hard and would improve the game.

I played a little bit of it on Tuesday (the day it came out), but I got stuck on this loving stupid extended stealth sequence near the beginning and I haven't felt like coming back to the game because of it. I don't know who the gently caress thought that was a good idea, putting something like that near the beginning of the game.

I guess if a ton of people rave about it, then I'll try picking it up again. But I haven't really heard anyone say it's amazing since it came out. In fact I haven't heard anyone say much of anything about it at all.

Old Blood is awesome, though I'm finding it more draining to play than TNO for some reason, it's harder to go long stretches. They're both fantastic games though, very nice mash up of the spray'n'pray feel of the original Wolf 3D and a modern FPS engine.

big mean giraffe posted:

If I remember right, the DF article comparing the two found that the PS4 dipped to at worst 28fps, which is pretty drat stable. I know it's not perfect, but that game's pretty as hell on PS4.
