Dwengy, no kidding, some games make you realize how crappy the standards have been for the industry for a loooooong time. I only have a few hours to play games every other night, why waste my precious happy fun relax time on mediocre media ya know

E: Sakura I jested but seriously having a case of "everything sucks" is pretty common after playing from soft games, I'd love if you could point me to equally rich and challenging experiences. Not perfect games by any means but what else compares on PS4?

Honestly probably none? I mean BB is top five games of all time material so it's going to be hard to compare anything to it, it just didn't ruin other games for me or anything, I still enjoy the same things after playing it as I did before.

yea people that say that souls games make other games worse are insane, and I say that having bought several of those games multiple times. it's pretty much never actually true either, just idiots being smug about beating a game they heard was hard

Yeah dude from soft games aren't all that hard. Makes me think you just haven't been exposed to a lot of good games.

They're a fun challenge like Mega Man and Castlevania, and they absolutely ooze atmosphere (like those 2 franchises)

I've kinda been in the mood to play an AC type game and they're on sale right now so what's better: Black Flag or Syndicate? Also is the dlc worth a drat in either?

Syndicate is pretty good (a big improvement over Unity) and closer to the AC2 lineup in terms of gameplay, but Black Flag is way, way better overall. I think the DLC is pretty forgettable.

Isn't HDR most noticable with bright lights and colors though? Bloodborne doesn't have a lot of those.

Can't vouch for either DLC but I'd say Syndicate over Black Flag if you're more interested in parkour stabbytimes, and the inverse if you want to engage in boat combat and listen to sea shanties. Syndicate is more "traditional AC" fare.

Also I enabled 2FA and my goddamn PS3 woke me up at 4am with a text because it wanted to upload my saves :argh: I don't want to shut that off but I guess I'll need to update the time it wakes up to do it.

No its most noticeable on brighter screens though so maybe thats the confusion. Like the higher the luminosity of the display the more colors of dark or anything really you can show with hdr so bb would look better. A lot of so called hdr tvs now on the cheaper end dont have high enough luminosity to actually show you real hdr.

The problem with bb in hdr is the like 5 frames of display lag hdr causes on most sets unless you specifically look for low lag

Tv shopping kinda sucks
