It's more that we've played For Honour at some point as one Beta build or other and been turned right off of it.

jeffLebowski posted:and on a personal level, i have to ask: why did they make an in-depth medieval combat fighting system, then poo poo it up with glowing ui elements and power-ups, along with pretty much every other immersion-breaking visual choice you could imagine. maybe its just me, but participating in a gritty castle siege while neon blue auras pop up and magically heal my fellow dudes just really kills the vibe for me. I hate this a lot also, it really turned me off from Horizon once we saw more complete footage of it. Even Nioh, which is a fantastic game, sometimes I wish there was a way to make the loot and souls flying into your body glow less or something. The more recent FromSoftware games don't have this but in Demon's Souls and their earlier games like King's Field/etc. you can turn each individual part of the HUD on and off (Dishonored does this too which is awesome) and can also change if it shows raw numerical values for everything or a gauge. If you don't rely on items a lot in Demon's Souls it's cool to play with everything off. Neo Rasa fucked around with this message at 17:41 on Feb 15, 2017 |

I picked up Skyrim for Xbox 360 not long before I picked up my PS4, so I never finished it. Is there enough improvements to the PS4 version to warrant an upgrade? Anybody have experience with both versions and can give me an opinion?

I saw this first hand playing the game on ultra with my brother on 360 a few feet away. This version is basically an improved PC port. It's much better but at the same time it's a 2011 game with a shiny coat.

At first I gave a poo poo about all that, but honestly the dlc is mostly trash and there are tons of unlockable costumes without it. For 15 bucks or whatever I paid when it was on sale, DOA5 has a lot of content and one of the most extensive fighting game tutorials outside of Skullgirls.

It's also a very lazy PS4 port, in that it's a game from 2011 but still running at 30fps. I don't think it's dated very well to be honest and I always found it the weakest of the elder scrolls series.

Anyone who actually buys the DoA season pass deserves to have their money taken. The only gameplay critical dlc is the 2 character dlcs. All the rest is just dressup for your favorite character and I highly doubt anyone uses every single fighter in that game to the point they need to personalize them wih every single outfit. It's like going down to the cosmetic store a complaining about the price of buying every singe shade of eyeliner, you will never need them all unless you have serious brain problems.

DOA is mainly for people that wanna dress up their waifu and I don't feel as bad as I probably should that those people are being taken advantage of. You can get all the actual gameplay content for not that much so the season passes are mainly for those people that you'd never want to actually every meet

Real hurthling! posted:But how is fighting a trex though? Please take this with the big grain of salt that comes from being relatively early in the game but: Fighting the robot dinosaurs is pretty drat fun. The ones I've faced so far are not too overwhelming but tend to be pretty lethal if you don't either pick them off solo or wear them down with traps and specialized arrows. They can kill your rear end very quickly if you let them and it gives encouragement for using the gimmicks instead of fighting them head on. Again, that is a giant caveat of "this is with relatively early game equipment, I do not know how this scales to later foes or later weapons."

Every time a new sale or DLC comes out for that I see it pop up on Steam or YouTube feeds and it looks neat... but then I already have a class-based multiplayer shooter and even if it's different I'm not moved enough to do it. Maybe next free weekend. Same with For Honor

I played the For Honor open beta and thought it was pretty neat. I see it more of a fighting game than anything else, and had the most fun in the 1v1, 2v2, and Deathmatch modes. Dominion was alright but people kept dropping and it was harder to get through a whole game of it. I think it's interesting and I think Ubisoft would have made a really smart decision by pricing it at $50 or even $40 to entice more players. As it is, I will treat it like Rainbow 6: Siege and wait for the Gold edition to go on sale around Black Friday. Plus it was hard for me to really dive into the beta with Nioh on my mind. It's cool to have a few games that emphasize the dueling aspect of their games, but after beating the Warrior from the West without getting hit I feel like I prefer the depth of the Ninja Gaiden-like combat over the more unique but slower For Honor style.

As far as I am I'd say starting on hard is probably not a bad idea if you're used to stuff, but again I can't say how it scales. You can totally penetrate robot ports with your rock-hard staff before filling them with slime. LawfulWaffle posted:I played the For Honor open beta and thought it was pretty neat.

Night Blade posted:Speaking of Gamestop, since my PS4 was randomly ejecting discs, chugging on things and sounded like a jet engine even after a fan cleaning, I took advantage of a few deals they had for traded in the PS4 that may have been on the verge of death. You don't happen to know if the +$50 trade in credit and +40% pro trade in credit stack do you? I'm guessing not as that would make upgrading to a Slim almost free. It's still pretty tempting to get rid of my launch PS4, the serial number on the back of my controller is partially rubbed off from use though. Would hate to go through the trouble of trading it in to get rejected due to that. They wouldn't take my old 3DS because of that. Edit: Answered my own question, the +40% is for games only. katkillad2 fucked around with this message at 21:49 on Feb 15, 2017 |

You get 175 at gamestop. 200 is only lucky with local sales and if you sell on eBay, the fees and shipping can eat into that, making it more like 175. Give It to gamestop. Even if you buy a pro somewhere else for a better deal you can use the credit on games or psn gift cards.

Played the closed beta, game is super thin with an interesting rock-paper-scissors mechanic but unless you're really into e-bushido-bow-before-fight or just like chewing through bad AI no thanks. You barely talk about it in your posts in this thread because there's barely any game.|

And a shitload of people played the beta (including me). You like it, good on you, stop pretending like people who didn't 1. don't get to warn people off 2. are being "disingenuous" We get our opinions too, and your game is poo poo and you're stuck in a sunk cost fallacy.

I was curious what the trophies for FF7 were, given the sale going on today: https://www.exophase.com/game/final-fantasy-vii-ps4/trophies/ Even considering the global totals, a LOT more people have the Lv 99/9999999 gil/Great Gospel/Barret date trophies than I'd expect. And both Weapons. I guess if you're buying yet another copy, you're in it for the long haul...
