I thought I was going crazy until i used both my controller and the remote to do stuff. Is there a way to wake up the ps4 from the remote? I want to be able to turn on my TV, go to the right input and have it wake up and log in without needing the controller

Overwatch good, Anime bad. Except the anime that is good. How often do they do new console bundles? Uncharted and Infinite Warfare seem to be the two around right now, and neither of those games interest me, and while I guess I could just sell the game, I'm not itching hard enough for a ps4 to want to deal with that.

revolther posted:It's probably dependent on your TV's HDMI-CEC support, but I can just turn mine to the PS4's input channel and it wakes the ps4. Yeah my TV is weird with cec. The switch turns on my TV just fine, but the ps4 hasn't done that with the one possible reception when it actually turns on rather than wakes up

Persona is like the polar opposite of what I want to play in a game. There's probably nothing really wrong with it but I couldn't think of something I'd want to play less if I tried. Well besides almost-porn games like Galgun I guess.

I'm not having as great a time with nier as id hoped for, the combat feels a bit too simplistic but there is a style and a self awareness to it that few games match

Harlock posted:I have no interest in the Yakuza games but love Persona. The universe is balancing out I bounced off Yakuza 1 nearly a decade ago mostly because its so cutscene heavy but watching the playthrough on giant bomb convinced me to give it another look. That game has a sense of humour that just isn't commonplace in videogames. The thing that bugs me is i don't know if the humour is the intention of the writing or a side effect of its oriental origins.

That game has a sense of humour that just isn't commonplace in videogames. Its heavily intentional. Or at least has leaned into it as the series went on. and now its intentional. When your shooting a "MENACING MAN" with a swordfish out of a swordfish gun, and you ask yourself if this is serious or supposed to be over the top...

Yakuza 5 is to this day the funniest game I've ever played. The whole series does absurdist and dry humour better than anything I've seen before. The way the writing manages to both be hilarious and also gripping in Yakuza 0 is a real strength that you just don't get a lot of.

(Bloodborne, P5) Even without a 4K TV there are benefits in terms of frame rate stability, resolution, less pop-in, faster load times in some games, etc. Whether that's worth it to you is a personal question. I was satisfied with my Pro on my tiny screen until I watched some folks play HZD and Second Son on a 4K TV and that's what sold me on 4K.

So maybe not a big open world right after Witcher. Nioh is level based technical combat. RE7 is good and linear for the most part.

Is there any reason why physical copies on Amazon of PS4 games are so much cheaper than their digital counterparts? Couldn't they just email you the product code with your purchase if it's just going to arrive a day later anyway?

They don't have to contend with shelf space for new titles or compete with other physical store chains undercutting eachother.

They want to sell inventory. Codes do not take up space. Amazon has a lot of incentives to try and get you to buy a disc over a code.

That makes sense, but at the same time I wonder why if they know they're going to eventually be moving the discs anyway, not to just give you a download code for the software itself. Especially since many game discs are essentially glorified coasters these days.

MZ posted:I've spent nearly 4 months getting through Witcher 3 and not bought a single 2017 game yet, which should I go for: You literally can't go wrong with any of those choices, but here's a quick rundown of my thoughts on each game listed: Resident Evil 7: 2/3rds a phenomenal, fresh-yet-also-back-to-basics Resident Evil, and 1/3rd modern garbo Resident Evil. Unfortunately, the bad part is the last part, so it left kind of a bad taste in my mouth. Nioh: Scratches that Bloodborne itch better than Dark Souls 3 does, if you prefer BB to DS (like I do). A magic cat tells the time and also teaches you Japanese. Yakuza 0: The entire story is predicated on almost everyone involved making the worst decisions possible to drive the plot forward, yet it's still wildly entertaining, also many of the Heat actions are Batman Arkham Asylum/City/Knight levels of "I didn't kill him but he'll literally never move a muscle below the neck for the rest of his life" brutal. I love this loving series, and I love this goddamn game. Horizon: Doesn't really do anything that you haven't already seen before in an open-world game, but it does what it does well. To me, this has the lowest priority on this list. Nier: Automata: I always have a softspot for Yoko Taro games, but this time I don't have to preface it with "yes I know the gameplay is akin to dog turds." Prepare to be sad, and don't pick fights with wildlife. Persona 5: A master class in UI/HUD design, and a fantastic game to boot. I've put the least amount of time in this game of all the ones on this list, but it's Persona. If you've played 3 and/or 4, you know what you're in for. Persona 5's probably going to carry you the furthest until you get another game, but if you're pressed to get only one of them for now, get Yakuza 0.
