The black iron armor is a little risque but that's just how the tark fatrolls.

I think Horizon is a bizarro Witcher. The story and characters are all pretty mediocre, but the controls are tight and the combat and exploration is amazing. Hunting machines on hard basically plays the way I wanted The Witcher's contracts to play.

Nah. Unless you really care about small performance boosts or have a 4K TV.

I'm playing Horizon Zero Dawn right now and just finished Tomb Raider 2 (and I have a VR) and let me tell you that you made a terrible decision if you have a 4K setup.

If you're on 1080p, there's supposedly not a huge difference.

I think I remember reading that Horizon downsamples if you're playing from a Pro on 1080p but I'm not sure.

Most pro-enabled games will downsample when driving a 1080p display, the ones that don't let you choose native 1080p with more effects or fps at least. So it'll look better than a non-pro, but not as much better as it would if both consoles were plugged into a 4K display (where the non-pro output would get run through the TV's scaler).

It does. There's also a 'performance' mode that renders at native 1080p, however it still maxes out at 30fps, which it maintains almost all the time in the downsampled mode anyway, so there's very little point to it (see 'Update' at top of this article):

Humm just read up on that boost mode patch as well.

I currently have 1080p monitors and TV. But I'm a big baby about frame rates...

Dark Souls 2 had the problem of the original director that Miyazaki appointed while he worked on Bloodborn being taken off the project and a new guy had to scrap previous builds which by all accounts were barely functioning and unfun and couldn't run on last gen consoles at a decent framerate and then try and stitch what they had into a coherent game. It did have a lot of good ideas though and the DLC for Dark Souls 2 is some of the best content in the series.

So naturally, 3 scrapped a good number of things 2 introduced (but kept a lot of the really bad stuff from 2 for some reason) and just made Dark Souls 1 again, but this time with some Bloodborne's aesthetic and animation speeds. I don't dislike Dark Souls 3, but out of every Souls game including Demon's Souls it is the game I'll probably replay the least.

Miyazaki directed Dark Souls 3 so it's perfect, actually.

I agree especially with how lazy Nioh is with level design.

No starting a mission at a slightly different point in a level does not count as a new level.

I couldn't even finish Dark Souls 2 or 3. I found them both uninspired and boring. Nioh was far from perfect, but was pretty fresh. I do admit I get sequel fatigue way worse than most other people. If I enjoy a sequel it usually has to be excellent or have made major innovations. Uncharted 2 and Assassins Creed 2 were good examples of games I still managed to really enjoy.

I think he just posted that because you said "a dress is scantily clad?" implying you were unaware that this is actually what people were talking about. The original post you replied to just called it 'scantily clad', which I'd say a g-string qualifies for, regardless of whether they've shown nudity on TV.

Started playing Yakuza 0 after giving up on Gravity Rush 2 .

Where has this series been all my life? It's my first encounter with the franchise and i loving love it. A weird mixture of JRPG and Shenmue with a well written gangster story that has some nice humorous touches.

Am i right in thinking the remake of the first one is coming out the EU at some stage this year?

Its one of those weird things where they don't think it will sell or westerners don't want it. But holy poo poo, after 5 minutes with 0 I will buy every Yakuza game that comes out. Its really fun. All they had to do was localize one drat game.

Back on the PS2. That's where the "Yakuza" title came from after all. The Japanese game is Ryu Ga Gotoku (basically "Like A Dragon")
