Finally we can have the asian AC game we've been waiting for all these yrs.

AC:S is the only game I've completed and I'd be fine if they removed Jacob (Male PC) completely in future series. I tried BF and Unity but I couldn't get over how much I disliked the PCs.

One of the most outright-horrifying things I've ever seen in terms of pure violence is Evie Frye fighting bare-handed in Assassins Creed Syndicate :stare:.

The last Fight Club I did, she shattered one guys knee before kicking him in the back of the neck. Anything to make a buck I guess.

The thing keeping me from playing Nioh is the aesthetic, though I'll probably get over it and buy it whenever it goes on sale.

Renting games is cool and good. Last Guardian arrived yesterday and i popped an hour into it, I'll either finish it this weekend or get my fill from it for a net cost of about £1.50

Rent games goons! it means you can play them without too much investment so you don't have to be a dick if its not for you!

For Honor still sucks though.

Wait til you see the move where she breaks a man's arm and then twists it round to just keep on breaking it in more places. It's fascinating to witness. It's always the quiet ones... :magical:

I've played a lot of games worse than For Honor. But it's also not great at being a fighting game or being a casual game due to trying to do both. It's probably worth a rental if you like the theme, and you can play the weird single player campaign and laugh along to the B movie plot.

I only wish some of the big long RPGs besides FFXV would make the rental market so I could try out the combat. I can get a decent idea from videos but I like to try things for myself. Luckily we are starting to see demos make a little bit of a comeback.

Were you into Dirt Rally before VR, or did you get it to try that out? I've been kind of wanting to get Dirt Rally anyway, but am a little put off by how "serious" it seems, like a difficult simulation. I'm not opposed to a harder-than-average driving game, just don't want a full simulation that ends up feeling like work to get any fun out of, if that makes any sense.

The aesthetic plays second fiddle to the breakneck speed combat mechanics and game play. Nioh is a really fun game and if you like focused dual style combat you'll have a blast playing it when it goes on sale in a month or two.

I upgraded my Hard drive the other week, I've finally got most of my games downloaded and was double checking my settings to make sure they're the same as before. I notice in the privacy tab there's a hidden games setting. Is that knew or did I just not notice it before? Also how does it work? The description says something about keeping a game out of your feed but does it effect trophies and friends too?

Is this limited to just a few tracks or something?

Don't forget you still get that discount within the first two weeks of release, so you don't even have to commit in case you're not sure. Can still get early impressions and have plenty of time to cash that in

i'm not a mod, but I think it's very good that you are getting a video game system no matter which one, because all video games are good, and if you enjoy video games and someone tells you that you don't you might cry a bit, which is not good, unlike video games, which are good, if people agree about their goodnesss, and even if they don't they are still good.

I bought it when it came out and have probably put something like 20 or 30 hours into it? Im not usually one for sims either, but i really enjoyed the previous dirt games so i took the leap. Imo its totally manageable, theres a bunch of assists + basic tutorials for more advanced techniques. If you can manage braking before entering a turn and maybe feathering the throttle every now and then Id say go for it, some courses are way more difficult than others obv (looking at you sweden) but still fun in that dark souls kind of way.

due to the resolution of psvr it doesnt look that hot either tbh, i'd say its more functional than anything. supposedly it looks better with a pro. if you snoop around their twitter (dirtgame) i think theres some footage there

the psvr is supported through the entire game from what i can tell, its a main menu toggle and then you just play the game like before. Ive been doing way better with the psvr too, the tracks are easier to read and being able to turn your head to look into a turn as you slide sideways through it is some drat win

I own the PS4 slim, the not the pro one so I am in your boat. Also, if people truly do want to belittle others for not having the cash to splash on a games console then that is pretty sad and lonely. Also harkens back to the old days of the PS3.

for me i was debating about getting a switch over the PS4 but the switch event let me down so i was set for ps4, i know the pro is very nice and the FPS boost seem great but i am poor. and yes i did taken offense to jokes about me being poor since i can never take a joke and my comebacks where made for that "that escalated quickly" meme.

but i will play final fantasy 15 first then i will get titanfall 2, i played the first titanfall on my friends xbox and i enjoy the gameplay, and this seem like a stronger game in all aspects.

If you don't have a 4k there was no reason, and very recently is barely a reason to own the pro. Future proof advice is get a pro if you can swing it. After the maybe literal 1000th time it was asked the answer changed to "what do you wanna be a poor, get a pro". Im a launch poor. But now Nioh runs 1080p locked 60 fps on pro and its the first time I looked longingly at it.

My slim was a gift from Lady Videogames which is awesome and also the reason I am able to recklessly buy a Switch.

She did ask which one I wanted and it was because I don't have 4K that I said the slim would be fine. Also saved her £100! It's great that there are choices for people and both consoles are ace. I think we all agree that video gaming is great fun.

The PS4 Pro is still a marginal upgrade even with Boost Mode, and unless you have a 4k display or a PSVR you will probably barely notice it. The deals on the other versions are so much better that you'd have to be insane to hold off getting into PS4 just because you can't swing the Pro right now. Worse yet, because it's a new revision the Pro has some defects, the first one I got from Gamestop had to be returned because it would shut off the instant I tried to launch certain games. In my experience it's almost always a better idea to wait a while on a new hardware revision until they work the defects out of the manufacturing. That's why I got a fat 360 to replace my old one when it died even though the Slims were out, and that sucker is still ticking.

If I was gonna belittle people for anything it would be not upgrading the hard disk, but that's going to be irrelevant really soon with that firmware update to use external drives as live storage. Plus you really do need to have another extra drive to hold backup data to pull that upgrade off comfortably. I would be fine sticking with my old PS4 if it wasn't just getting a little old and shaky and Gamestop had an extra trade value deal.

If you want the real answer, Digital Foundry found the Boost Mode doesn't fix the Bloodborne problems so what else is there to say :v:

I'm not sure where the setting is, but the videos I am seeing show it as you just see the flat virtual screen up until the race actually starts, then it switches over.

Probably my biggest issue with the Pro is it gives lazy rear end developers the excuse to make their games even shittier on the PS4 amateur.

Like I booted up Rise of Tomb Raider on my PS4 OG last night and it looks AMAZING. Way way better than a lot of games I've played.

Same for DOOM, Uncharted 4 etc.

Uc4 and ROTR both got amazing PRO patches from what I've heard because the developers are actually competent.

Then you have total garbage like Fallout 4 running at sub-10 FPS, 720p on the standard. Like it's madness.

Some say that his politics are terrifying, and that he once punched a horse to the ground...


People say this but games like fallout was gonna be poo poo anyway. There was no consideration for any kind of pro edition when the game came out.

And tomb Raider runs nice on a normal PS4 as well.

The pro is just picking up the slack but even if the Pro and Scorpio never existed, devs will continue to perform less than optimal.
