Dear god, I do not recall aiming in Resident Evil being as hard as it is in RE0.

Me either, and I played RE1 remake to death. I don't know if it's the auto-aim or what, but there are so many times you have to fight just to target the zombie a foot away. Don't get me started on the giant bat.

The touch pad is really amazing for aiming controls in Hotline Miami

gently caress me, I've played through Hotline Miami 1 + 2 on the PS4 and never realised I could be using the touchpad. Gives me a reason to go back, I guess!

I planned on streaming the game; then I played the first minute of the game on Hard and ragequit over being unable to hit anything.

No idea how I used to pull off those headshots back in the halcyon days.

Are refurbished PS4s basically brand new like Nintendo's refurbished items, or is there likely to be something wrong with them?

If it's certified refurbished then there is no reason there would "likely be something wrong with them." How on earth do you think they could sell them if they were potentially defective?

I have just started so its hard to say, but it looks to be the same set up as something like War Thunder if you're familiar with that at all. Just did my first online match (by accident!) and it seems like it could be fun with proper team work

The way those games work, both World of Tanks and War Thunder, all the vehicles are divided into tiers. You can buy a super powered tank but its not really p2w cause you're going to be playing against people with similarly high tier stuff. If you're playing for free it gets pretty grindy to advance to better vehicles, but each tier plays totally differently as better guns/armor/engines get introduced and you may find you like to play lower tiers more anyway. In War Thunder I definitely have a lot more fun playing with crappy interwar/early WW2 stuff than the high tier planes you have to play a million hours to unlock.

Things could be going better

Having played war thunder and tanks on PC and now PS4, Wot is definately the better tank game for console because you don't need to pixel hunt as much, which is very hard on a console even with an HD TV

so far I'm digging this more than the tanks in WT. Had a 2 person group going for a bit, not much, but it makes a big difference on enjoyment and stuff.

So they extended the final beta session of The Tomorrow Children by two hours, which just ended. For what little I got to play, I can't wait for its proper release so I can play it more. For the last hour I went to other towns and saw a whole bunch of stuff I didn't see in my previous 10 hours of gameplay, so that's really cool.

You've can still get away with murdering quite a bit of people before you get the bad ending. You have to be a psychopathic rear end in a top hat in order to get the bad ending. The dlc is pretty lackluster, unfortunately.

How the gently caress can you think Daud is lackluster, the challenges yes but Daud's no.

I'm playing Gauntlet with a couple goons and the last boss in the campaign is no joke. We called it tonight after 5 attempts. It's just so chaotic and once you get to the demon phase, the bullet hell aspect becomes ridiculous.

I heard the PS4 version was kind of hosed up however.

hosed up in any particular way? I have Dishonored on PS4 (yes, despite playing the poo poo ouf of it on PC back in the day :haw:) and don't recall any issues with it at all (at least for the base game, and first DLC).

It's not hosed up, just a very lazy "definitive edition." Some say it looks worse than the PC non-definitive version. I have it (never gave it a shot last gen) and it's pretty ugly. e.g.

quote:

We checked out the original Xbox 360 version of Dishonored alongside its PlayStation 4 Definitive counterpart, and the results are mixed. Textures are certainly improved, and the game looks much sharper than it did in the original console release, but framerate hasn't budged, and is still locked at 30 FPS. Performance-wise, it feels like a small step down from the game's PC version, though a few new features can be found in Definitive Edition — on PS4, for instance, the game's speaking "Heart" talks to the player through the controller's speaker.

Multiplayer in public games is basically a shitshow of hacked lobbies where every monster kill will add ten levels to your character (or other weird things). Play with friends if that's not your thing!

JudgeTesla already posted the link to the thread but yeah, there's still quite a few of us that play regularly. There's just been another big patch which always reinvigorates interest in the game.

Never, ever, ever play public multiplayer. It is almost 100% cheaters with godlike powers, moving so fast and killing everything so easily you will literally never get to actually play.

I honestly don't get it, either. The game is entirely based around killing things and taking their stuff. What would the point be in making it so everything instantly dies without you even attacking and you have gear that is literally a billion times better than anything that could possibly drop?

Must be a UK sale then because I bought it yesterday at 60% off.

Really enjoying it and it somehow feels more engaging than the PC version.
