My eye...MY EYE!!!
Like other people have said, For Honor's combat system seems to favor duels or 2v2 at most but then the game seems to be pushing dominion mode and it's kinda at odds with each other? There's blocking and zone attacks if you're outnumbered but the game needs 360 degree movesets if they want group pvp to be its thing imo

Sorry, guy.
Dominion sucks because the entire game becomes "attack the guy not looking at you for the easy win. Rinse, repeat."

This feels like a tech demo proof of concept. Rather then a game 2 weeks out.

Is RE7 really the 7 hours I keep hearing thrown around? I'm about 5 hours in and I have only hit one of the three major locations I heard about so that feels like a really low estimate. In general poop sockers seem to make games sound way shorter than they are when they start listing their playtimes.

How far through it am I if I just followed ma baker into the well and popped out by a gate shortcut to the RV?[ Kind of feels like I am at the half way point but who knows. I really dawdle in games like this though.

It will probably take you longer than 7 hours then because I got there in like maybe 3 1/2 and I thought I spent a lot of time wandering around aimlessly.

I'm still in the middle of juggling FF15 and Watchdogs 2. Gaming is retarded good at the moment. We'll be looking back on 2016/2017 as another golden age for gaming in time to come.

Whenever Sony are doing well, an almost overwhelming amount of great stuff keeps getting released. My PC is redundant for anything other than shitposting and the occasional bit of FF14 at this stage.

Yeah I think this gen has really hit it's stride now, we had the same thing happen around the same point into last gen.

My only complaint is that I simply don't have enough time to play everything.....

Dragon Quest builders (Chapter 3) Question:

So i got the quest to build "better equipment". There is no quest marker and all they say is i need to build better stuff. So i read online that I need to build Power Stones or something at the workbench, but my workbench doesnt even have that as an option, meaning i haven't discovered the recipe. What am i doing wrong?

EDIT: Also it is weird we dont know the FEB plus games?

Man, I do not loving understand For Honor.


I get that I'm supposed to block where the indicator says. Ok, no problem. So I do that a bit and then a viking does his throw move where he runs me back on his shoulder and throws me on the ground and then it's game over. I just don't understand. Either they don't explain poo poo on how to play, or their game is just a "pick the one beast character, hope for best..."


It's frustrating because at it's core this could be something good. Instead it just makes me mad to have some fuckstick beat up on me helplessly.

There's a HOW TO PLAY option on the main menu, where it has tutorials that teach you stuff like how to counter throws. It also has a bunch of videos explaining each class.

The bash and throw, Viking its the rush. its what you use to guard break someone who is just guarding. So that's the effective counter to you blocking.

Can't link because phone posting but the seagste back up plus is the goon recommended one. I bought one for $80 recently and it was easy. I think the old PS4 thread has a imgur guide linked in the OP. Just use something like a guitar pick to crack open the enclosure, and set the PlayStation to do downloads in rest mode and use the web store to redownload everything easily.

it was really weirdly balanced from what I remember but kinda cool nonetheless; I liked it for the most part. I don't remember it giving you anything for the sp tho and I haven't played it since mgs5 was released, so idk if it's better or worse now (or if anyone's playing anymore for that matter)

It also sounds like the same timing issues on counters and blocks that it's had since the beta builds they were showing at conventions months ago. Nevermind that the game's supposedly going to be loving P2P instead of dedicated servers. Nobody is going to have a good time with that recipe.

The more I think about it, the more this is going to doom any kind of multiplayer, I think. It's basically using fighting game frame-timing mechanics and that poo poo's not going to fly

What timing issues on counters and blocks? I started playing the beta yesterday and a lot of the complaints I am reading are from people being lazy refusing to learn how this game works and then complaining that xyz is broken/busted because they can't win. Game is pretty dope but seemingly few people wanna do anything other than mash.

The beta build I played was heinously broken, and this was a public demo at a big convention. Trying to parry or block exactly the way the game taught you in a training session would find you whiffing the parry or the block just plain not connecting so you ate sword/axe every time. Nevermind the Samurai's long reach just cleaving the gently caress out of everyone regardless. Requiring precise timing in goddamn Peer-to-peer multiplayer is a recipe for a bad time.

Well maybe that is an issue with that demo then as I have not experienced anything like that in this current build. I mostly do duels and p2p multiplayer is exactly what I want for that, pointless to do a 1v1 going through a server. I have done enough 4v4 modes that I don't mind p2p at all, I am not botching my timing on anything, I am not missing a block that I would have gotten otherwise. Its all perfectly fine.

The only way Peer-to-Peer multiplayer can be good is if you can be absolutely certain every player is on a fibre connection. Maybe. Anything else is a crapshoot of broadband across long distance, over ancient copper wire never designed for it, that racks up the milliseconds in reprocessing and travel time between all involved.

Well I am having zero issues with it(other than the general menu networking options, but nothing ingame), and as a life long fighting game fan I am ultra particular when it comes to input delay and general network fuckery so I guess its not the only way it can be good :shrug:
