Attitude Indicator posted:Just got the last main ending in N:automata. Such a good game. does the fifth ending require another playthrough or is it something like a binary choice with the 4th ending that you can make an alternate save to see right away like the first game had?

Binary choice, you can select it from the chapter select screen so you don't have to replay the entire 4th playthrough again. After that it leads you into the final story ending.

Endings 3 and 4 are a binary choice, and going back to try the other one is very fast. Ending 5 happens when you see both 3 and 4 (so also very fast).

Has anyone used the Razer or Nacon "pro" controllers that are out in the Europe but not the US? I really like paddles and extra buttons but I'm fearful of the build quality on third party controllers.

How well integrated into the game is Watch Dog's 2 multiplayer stuff? Is it coop play, or is there just a lot of scrappy death match stuff like in the first?

Lobok posted:My friend and I were just saying this seems to herald a substantial price drop. It's only gone down to $60 CDN a couple times: It's on Steam for half off right now but I kinda wanted to play it on PS4 because apparently the PC version had problems. I don't know though, $30 is pretty tempting.

Fuzz posted:Does connecting the headphones directly to the PS4 vs the Soundblaster with no optical sound any different? If not, then it could be some noise picking up from a connection somewhere, which you're bypassing with the optical out. haveblue posted:Maybe the amp has some crappy "sound enhancer" feature that accidentally got turned on? Maybe I'll just get another, simpler USB DAC headphone amp.

FishBulb posted:Has anyone used the Razer or Nacon "pro" controllers that are out in the Europe but not the US? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDdNupUziy8 Digital Foundry did a review on them a few days ago and they had mixed opinions. Neither seems worth the hassle of importing into the US. There are three options for advanced input devices. The first is what's essentially a modded DS4 with rear buttons and trigger stops. This is what I did, and I went with Battle Beaver, though there are other companies doing this (Cinch/Sharq/AimControllers.) The second option is to buy an Xbox Elite controller and use a CronusMax, and the third is to give up and buy a XIM for kb/m. Whatever you do, don't buy a Scuf. It confuses me that Sony hasn't put out a DS4 Elite given that PS4 is the lead platform for both Destiny and CoD, and the Elite controller has been a proven success.

poptart_fairy posted:How well integrated into the game is Watch Dog's 2 multiplayer stuff? Is it coop play, or is there just a lot of scrappy death match stuff like in the first? Very well integrated. You'll be driving around and suddenly an icon pops up on your map; if you drive over there you'll find a player doing something you can join in on just by also doing stuff in the same area, it's totally seamless. Or you can ignore it and it'll go away after a bit. There are co-op missions where you both take on the AI, or you can hack the other guy and play hide and seek, or you can help the cops chase someone with a high wanted level (this is as close as it gets to traditional deathmatch).

From that you can drive over to another mission, or you can start killing cops. Kill enough cops and the game will start sending other players at you.

Often seamless like has been said. There is the hide and seek hacking mode , bounty hunter chases if you feel like doing that, random little co-op events, and the best part is the randomised co-op missions which have dynamic locations and objectives each time. Bite sized fun missions you can do with 2 players in a variety of ways. Also coming in a free update in about 2 weeks is more pvp objective based 2 v 2 modes, and a new paintball gun weapon among other things.

Going to start nier. Is there a non spoiler guide for what to do to get endings? Or is it obvious and I should just play?

Bombadilillo posted:Going to start nier. Is there a non spoiler guide for what to do to get endings? Or is it obvious and I should just play? The 5 real endings are unmissable, they happen automatically as you continue to play and repeat the main storyline. The ~20 fake/joke endings vary in obscurity and you should probably start looking for those with a guide when you're done with most everything else.

I have a question about Persona 5, the interrogation cell scenes are apparently set six months in the future, but the calendar wraps around all the way to March of the following year. I take it that framing device is only for half the game?

Or is it obvious and I should just play? it's very obvious and you don't have to do anything special. don't turn the game off at the credits and keep in mind that getting the 3rd story ending unlocks a chapter select that allows you to pick different points in the chapters to load in from, so if you think something could have gone differently then you can simply load directly into that point and check it out for yourself there's nothing like nier or drakengard where you have to collect all the weapons or w/e to get the true ending

I think It's kinda meaningless to call the main endings of Nier A "endings" when it's really just chapters in a story.

the game literally calls them endings. they're listed on your save file it'd be needlessly confusing to call them anything else when the game itself refers to them as such e: the game also distinctly refers to something else as chapters, so that would make it even worse

Samurai Sanders posted:I have an entire lifetime of obsessing about tech things for no good reason, it's nothing unique to audio or the PS4. Back in the PS3 days, before I had a TV with a headphone jack or a receiver, I used to run audio out of the composite PS2 cable into a 3.5mm adapter that I connected to the AUX in of a guitar amp. I'd then use the guitar amp's headphone output to listen to the PS3. You'd love it
