Totems are only there to fulfil the horror movie role of stuff that seems like useful information but actually just makes things more confused.

I went ahead and bought Horizon Zero Dawn, Nier: Automata, Shadow of Mordor and RE4 after some recommendations. Figured I'd give my first thoughts since the thread helped me decide on 2 of those. Horizon Zero Dawn: Amazing. Full stop. I'm barely a few minutes past the initial cave\sneaking tutorial and hunting Watchers is intense. I know there's a lot more coming so I'm pretty eager to get back to it. Nier: Automata is fun. The perspective changes mess with me for dodging but if I feel frustrated, I'll drop it to easy cause I'm an old man and have some bad reaction times. Haven't gotten to Shadow or RE4. I'll start on HZD or Nier after I finish Persona 5. So many good games

acksplode posted:It's nice if you're a framerate dork, HZD at 1080p 60fps is like Not dog piling on you, but yeah I WANTED that. That's why looked at the Pro reviews for it and saw it was a slight upgrade and hardlocked 30. Well HZD didn't drop noticeably to me ever, so locked 30 doesn't matter. I have problems with HZD. But no other game has ever been so damned pretty I stopped after an hour and thought about spending $400 just to see where it could go from there.

revolther posted:I imagine it's so they can use the cheapest 1x BR drives available. Compared to how much caching and reading of disks was done by previous systems and how the optical drives could be problematic components, they've probably reduced the amount of reads the BR drive does outside of installations to like 10,000 in it's lifetime. I wonder if they saw their normal PS4 projections and had a bulk order of normal BR drives made, so when the Pro came out, they didn't want to waste their stock and said "screw it" and just kept it the same drive? They probably knew about the XBoneS before it was publicly announced and that it would have had a 4k drive, so I don't get why they wouldn't have just nipped it in the bud unless there was an even bigger financial hit than the drive itself.

RBA Starblade posted:I glanced at how to avoid earlier deaths in Until Dawn and it is a little bullshit that at least one death has nothing to do with your poor life choices and instead is dependent on whether or not you notice an alternate route or entrance in certain instances, but I'm probably going to replay the game anyway, so oh well. I got three people killed due to missing a 1 second button press, so I'm kind of having the same feelings you're having right now. Until Dawn is still pretty good, but I am loving Tales from the Borderlands. I have also never played a main line Borderlands game yet.

Until Dawn is better when more of the cast dies. If a theatrical adaptation was ever made where everybody survives it would be the lamest horror movie ever.

Tales from the Borderlands is probably great if you are of a certain mindset but the humour did nothing for me and there isn't much of a game there. Its telltales best effort but that's a low bar.

I'm having fun watching them all die and was planning to do that, it's just a bit lame that it's for that sort of thing and not your actual decisions or loving up the input on a bad decision. It's a pretty fun game that aside.Anora posted:I got three people killed due to missing a 1 second button press, so I'm kind of having the same feelings you're having right now. Haha, where was that?

Best death in my playthrough was hearing a voice calling in the mines, going to investigate, opening the trapdoor and getting my head ripped off. It's me, I'm the brainless horror movie character.

It's me, I'm the brainless horror movie character. One death I had had Emily hanging off a broken radio tower and Matt deciding whether or not to save her and the choices involved either saving her or bitching at her for hugging Mike earlier. Earlier in the game I started a catfight between Emily and Jessica and now every PREVIOUSLY ON UNTIL DAWN has them calling each other sluts. I'm having fun choosing the bitchy options. It'd be better with no horror trappings at all, just Dumb Teen Simulator. Except you can still accidentally kill yourself. Peter Stromare can still question why you want to kill them so badly.

The checkpoint system in MGSV is annoying in free roam. I'm always a bit paranoid after picking up random supplies as to whether it saved (if I want to turn off the game). Having to run around with D-horse looking for a checkpoint trigger is bad. I think fiddling with some options also gives you a save but I'm not positive, and that's equally clunky. (Also I had to re-find all the diamonds on one of the platforms when I got too enthusiastic about exploration; I jumped in the sea).

Only had the flies once. I do wish all the "maintenance" costs were a bit cheaper. I'd use the heli way more often if a sortie wasn't so expensive.

Eventually you'll roll around in more money than dirt and filth and you can call up Pequod just to hear him fly in playing your favorite tune.

Yeah, money is a good incentive to not bring all kinds of fancy gear you don't need in the early game. In the late game, it doesn't matter.

Downloaded the Homefront: Revolution demo on a whim, and I'm kind of annoyed at myself for missing it when it was on sale. This would be a fantastic little game at £10 or so - £30 is pushing it though. Can definitely see the rough edges all over, but there's a quiet fun in sneaking around and knifing folks again. However, "Norks"? REALLY?

I have the full game. Is kind of sandboxy. There seems to exist two type of areas, full war, where you guerrillery around, and sneaky sneaky sectors where you kill then flee withouth getting detected much. For the sandbox feel, the game don't really put too much limits how you achieve some missions in the open world (probably is more strict in some set pieces). It somewhat reminds me "The Saboteur", but maybe is only me.

I continue my search of horrid games until Destiny 2 release. This week I am testing Crossout. Is some "build you guerrilla tank and fight" game that seems to copy most gameplay elements from World of Tanks. Is kind of fun, but it takes some grinding to have enough materials to start building interesting vehicles. Is interesting, a interesting free to play game.

It is much more satisfying to run around with just the tranq pistol until that last mission where you're getting assaulted in waves though.

Just buy a used physical copy. I think they top out around 15 bux.

I started Horizon Zero Dawn today and random lines of dialogue are completely silent. The same character will be mute one sentence and then speaking the next. Is this a known issue? It's really annoying. Edit: music and sound effects are unaffected
