"Ah," Ratz had said, at last, "the artiste."
So after reading a few recent pages of this thread I need to clarify something:

Nier Automata, a game from the creator of Drakengard, has a good plot? And not just a laughably insane dumb mess that ends with space babies and F-15s?

And the combat is good?

And it's not a nightmarish 'get upgrade fifty different weapons to get the real ending' grind?

Is this all accurate or is this like the time Bioshock Infinite was getting inexplicably praised for its ending?

You don't need to grind to get the real ending.

The combat is all right but it is not as developed as you think it might be for a Platinum game.

The plot is good and ends well

The die hard character action guys will say it's all bland but I thought it was just fine. I liked how the chips, pod programs and weapons let you find and create a style you liked, even if the combat itself wasn't very difficult. Game doesn't beat you up every fight with Z rank because you're not a character action game savant. Plot and stuff is definitely not a dumb mess. Pretty slow start but gets more and more interesting as you progress.

You're a little behind the times. None of Yoko Taro's work has been remotely as stilted or trollish as the first Drakengard.

You say that, but Drakengard 3's writing was so much like The Dark Id's general style of LP'ing comments that there's a high chance he's trolling Something Awful and TDI directly with it :tinfoil:.

tho keep in mind that drakengard 2 wasn't directed by him

it's bad even by drakengard standards since it losses the charm of the insane bullshit plot of the first one without gaining anything from it in return

At the very least, Yoko Taro has now had 7 years of being known for a flawed but decent game with an excellent story

Nier Automata is as good a story and also more fun to play.

Did she steal the PS4 and sell it, or was it hers?

I think Horizon errs on the side of being a little too easy on Normal. Very Hard was the sweet spot for me, but all gamers and their sensibilities are welcome here.

Out of curiosity, what's the current status of Astro mixamps on the PS4? Are they a thing people use?

edit: I'm most interested in Dolby headphone functionality but with my existing headphones, and I don't know anything else that can do that on the PS4. It's just an idle interest, I'm otherwise satisfied with my Soundblaster X G5 for that, which does 3D sound via its own proprietary software on the PC but not the PS4. Or is the Dolby headphone standard just completely passe and worthless?

From what I can gather they both paid for it and he let her have it when he moved out. I'll contact them after work just to play it safe. Thanks

Despite it's terrible launch, Driveclub is a fairly good casual racer (realisticish, but not a sim). It leans heavily into online/community stuff and I doubt that's well populated any more, but you can usually get it really cheap.

Trackmania Turbo is a more of a time-trial thing than a racer, it's OK, I got bored of it pretty quick though.

Ummm.... the last F1 was fairly well reveived if that's your kind of thing. Ditto the last Dirt, if that's your kind of thing.

I haven't played Project Cars so don't know how the PS4 version is. I get the feeling it's more of a PC thing though.

For good arcade racers the system isn't exactly spoiled for choice, but I like Need For Speed Rivals and still play it now and then even though it's a few years old.

Dirt Rally is really good if you want realistic driving model and like beating track records. If you just want to drive against other cars some other games are better.

Haven't played the latest one, but is supposed to be mediocre. Good graphics and potentially fun, but not much to it and a lot of cheesy FMV to sit through (which can be a plus for some). Rivals is solid dumb arcade racer fun, but a little dated and still a poor alternative to Forza Horizon.

Driveclub works and has been for ages), cheap unless you want the DLC, feels good and still looks pretty as all gently caress. Even with PS4's Direct-To-Youtube compression the game is still pretty as gently caress.
