I don't agree with that personally

the dodge step is way better than the roll

This is sort of true and sort of not. A lot of enemy attacks move along the same path you quick step along, while the roll let's you go in any direction, reducing your exposure.

The voice acting in that clip sounded pretty good to me, except for that thing.

I read the Kotaku review/personal essay and it sounds like there's a little more progression there than it seems like on the surface, it's not just a sandbox. I'm definitely gonna check it out eventually

Hey if I get a pair of wireless headphones (Jaybirds are what I'm looking at specifically) can I connect them directly to my PS4 or am I gonna need a bluetooth enabled audio reciever or something? Not worried about online communication/headset stuff, just want my PS4's audio out to go to the headphones

Nah, check to see if your TV has Bluetooth. It should run the audio through it and to BT

If you wanted to go crazy you could get a Bluetooth audio transmitter for the controller or an Optical in one

I started a new run of Bloodborne after completing Old Hunters about a year ago. Died twice on the wolfs. I got no vials and the drop rate for them is terrible. Hard quit -- maybe some other time.

The beginning is basically designed to be cheesed.

I don't usually even level up until after I kill Gascoigne and Cleric Beast...

Horizon's story is fantastic and well worth playing through. I love that the finale's even improved by how many sidequests you've completed.

Edit: Just as I post PSN seems down, dammn it.

Wednesday is update day. It's usually down on Wednesday evening.

If you browse the store online they show the sale dates on the page. Big promotion ones are usually two weeks I think. This one ends 6th April.

Now, another round of questions regarding the games I have some interest present on this sale:

-The Last of us remastered: not questioning if I should get it because is one of the games I aimed to get when I purchased my PS4. For 15€ is a no-brainer.
-Until Dawn: I have little idea about this game and didn't spoil myself. But, is it an interactive adventure with different endings or a QTE game with just focus on the plot? Curious about it (don't mind spoilers to be honest at this point). 16.49€ right now.
-The Order 1886: I only watched some trailers back before release and what I read is that it is short and loads of cutscenes, how bad is it for 10€?
-Killzone Shadow Fall: I only played the very first Killzone on PS2 and Killzone on PSP (wich was an amazing top-down shooter) but know nothing about this one.
-Helldivers: Does it have good SP (and even co-op) content? Looks fun but from the little I know, the community has an impact on the game.
-Alienation: Space ARPG, looks nice too and I wouldn't mind something like Grim Dawn or Diablo in space but no goon spoke about it at all (reviews are positive).


TLoU - Yes
Until Dawn - Yes
The Order - Avoid
Killzone - Avoid

According to their info page, maybe?
They will send out the vouchers "
Between 1st and 9th April 2017".

The sale ends on the 5th of April.

I'm still not any closer to finding out what format(s) the PS4 can output to USB audio devices like headphone amps. Optical output has various settings but USB doesn't that I know of. I can't tell if optical output actually sounds different or it's just in my head. They should both just be linear PCM right?

Also, I still don't understand what the point is of Dolby bitstream and DTS bitstream, since people say linear PCM can carry the same data but uncompressed. Is it just for legacy surround sound receivers or something? This home theater audio stuff is confusing.

If you're a dollars to hours person, Horizon is at least 40 hours if you do the story + sidequests

Horizon is an amazingly good game and you should push questionable stuff off your wish list/gaming budget to get it.
