The game play improves marginally; but if you hate it now, you will continue to hate it. You will soon pick up the bow, which gives you a way to pick off people in one shot if they aren't aware of your presence. Your shivs will get upgraded for durability, and I saved up to buy the perks (aside from market research and design by committee there is zero reason to have an upgrade system in this game) that let you shiv a clicker when it grabbed you instead of restarting the area. Even then, it's still annoying because it won't kill the clicker in one hit.

I would tell you to play the DLC but it kind of spoils the last quarter of the game.

Is the DLC that different from the main game? I don't really care about spoilers.

It's a lot more focus on story telling. There are two encounters and one set piece if I remember correctly.. Everything else is minigames that have some charm despite being kind of lame and development for Ellie. The entire thing is like 2.5 hours

I take good care of my expensive electronics. Always have. I even save the boxes and all the packaging for them in case I want to sell them later on. So it didn't occur to me when I packaged up my PS4 all nice and brand new like, that it looked like I was selling stolen property.

The first Gamestop I visited, the store clerk got halfway through unpacking it when he stopped and reluctantly told me the bad news. Apparently in the city that this store was located in, since Gamestop buys and sells used items, it is considered a pawn shop and falls under the regular scrutiny that local law enforcement gives to pawn shops and that it is store policy to no longer accept things that come in it's original packaging, like the anti-static wrapper, plastic wrap for the cables and controller, original manual, etc. They just don't want to deal with the headache that comes along with buying stolen property. The guy knew it wasn't stolen, I assume he was just in fear of losing his job. He was cool about it, and so was I. He told me to go to the Gamestop down the way and remove all the proper packaging, manual and all, and trade it in over there. So that's just what I did.

The second store went well. Traded in my PS4 for the Pro without incident and now here I am, typing up this post while waiting for my backup to completely download to the Pro. Feels good, man.

Unfortunately we can't afford every game, neither in money or time. Therefore, in order to feel good about having to miss some games, we have to declare them to be poo poo. It's the only way to survive.

I hate video games, but i love posting about them!

Was thinking about getting yakuza 0, but with two newer entries in the series coming soon, i figured i might as well wait. They're all pretty much the same right?

She is truly wonderful as Miss Pauling in TF2 so that is to be expected!

Life is Strange is probably like Top 3 video games for me all time and her voiceover work was a huge part of that. Really weird going from that to hearing her as Cassie Cage in Mortal Kombat X though.

Nah, get Yakuza 0. It's both one of the best plots in the series and best games in the series. They're not really all the same in terms of quality and while the new ones might be good, Y0 is absolutely good.

If you say feminine hero elsewhere on the net it'd trigger people and you'd get a billion and one responses about the feminist agenda and poo poo like that. Holy balls don't read the comment section on article of Horizon.

In fact, never read the comments section on anything ever.

I haven't seen much discussion of the performance in horizon. How consistent is the frame rate, impatom? Did you play on standard or pro PS4?

I played it on a standard so I can't speak for pro unfortunately. It's relatively stable but there are times it completely and utterly chunked. Oddly it never seemed to be for any clear reason except that I was transitioning into a new 'zone' usually. For the most part it was stable though.

If you don't feel like watching the whole thing, the basic gist is it's very solid, performance is almost identical across both machines (with the Pro pushing a higher resolution). There are a very very small number of minor dips, but other than that it seems like a solid 30fps.

2160p vs 1080p is significant. Good to see it runs smooth on both though.

Also said a Tomb Raider style performance mode is coming in a patch.

Edit: To be clear, Horizon is like 70% a fairly average and competent open world game, elevated by having some pretty fun combat against robot dinosaurs. It is not going to blow your mind or change your world.

Hmm--sounds OK from reviews and added back to WL. Hopefully it'll go down to $30 in a few months after Nier, P5, and Atelier.

It's not native 4K on the pro, it uses the checkerboard upscaler. Still more rendered pixels than the non-pro, though.

I'm kind of sad neither of the new PS4s have a fun swappable cosmetic panel like the fat PS4's HDD cover. I guess it wasn't very popular.
