King of Solomon posted:Ys Origin is a great game, especially when you play the third character. Who are you playing as? I only had two characters to choose so between the mage and axe wielding girl, I picked melee. When do I unlock the third char?

You unlock third by beating the game with one of the other two characters. Each character is a different variant of the story. I would generally suggest playing Mage Boy's story on easy, he's not as fun as the other two, but his story is good. E: But don't do it until you finish Yunica's story.

Yunica is fun and reminds me of the bit I played of Ys: Oath, spin2win and that stuff. I just beat the long underwater section with spikes and got the electric smash power. Got to a goddess statue with a locked door right next to it. I stopped there, if I can't find the key I'll just look a guide or something. In Oath I got lost pretty early.

This is super unlikely, but there is some setting I might be missing that turns off the r2/l2 fast forward functionality in movies? I swear to loving god I want to push the guy who thought this was a good idea (for 2 generations of PlayStation) into a lake.

Samurai Sanders posted:I guess power down the controller while watching movies and use your TV remote or whatever instead? It activates by accident a lot for me too (on the occasion that I watch physical media, which isn't really that often) so I do that when I remember to. Yeah I'm like 90% streaming so it always throws me off when I watch a blu ray or something. I don't think ive ever made it through a whole disc without skipping a chapter or fast forwarding through something on accident. One of the dumbest design decisions I've ever seen and here we are like 12 years later including PS3 and it's never been patched out.

When I start a Blu-Ray I know that it will be five to ten minutes before I actually get to the beginning of the movie. Really helps with replicating that theatrical experience

I cling to discs for games more than most people in this thread, but I still don't want to touch physical media with a 10 foot pole when to comes to movies and music. I'll buy a blu ray once in a blu moon for something I want to actually own that isn't streaming for free, and I always resent how bad it is on PS4

you can disallow Blu Rays from accessing the internet in the PS4 menu setting somewhere, I've had it cause issues on one or two movies though.

The bad thing is that the PS3 has no permanent disable option for blu-rays accessing the internet. The only options are Allow and Confirm. Every time I start a blu-ray it makes me manually select no. And if I accidentally select yes even once, it changes the setting to always allow and I have to go back into the settings and change it back to Confirm. They really want people to be intruded upon by those invasive internet features. I was surprised that they added a disable option on the PS4. I should probably start using my PS4 for blu-rays but using my PS3's an ingrained habit and I'm too lazy to want to eject my PS4 game every time I want to watch something. Also, I watch a lot of things via DLNA, which works well with the PS3 but was an afterthought on the PS4 and doesn't work very well.

You need to beat it with both characters in the PS4 version to unlock the third, unfortunately. Hugo's actually best for doing hard/Nightmare runs at first because his ranged attacks trivialise some of the enemies. But yeah he's not as much fun to play.

Going through my games library to settle on something new to play, I just discovered that out of the hundreds of games in the list, more than half are remasters or remakes of games from earlier systems and most of the rest are indies. Does this say more about me and what games I go for or are the big studios running out of ideas?

Everyone was all "haha gently caress you Blockbuster" when they went out of business and now good luck watching a goddamn movie unless it came out like a couple months ago and is at Red Box. The selection of stuff to stream from Netflix, Amazon Prime, cable on-demand, etc. is so lovely. You better believe if it's something I want to see more than once I'm buying a real copy of it. Almost everything comes with a code for digital this days anyway.

Most people don't but it's still there and unlike streaming they don't lose movie rights.

Video rental stores are totally irrelevant at this point. And Redbox gets movies the same time Blockbuster would have. The only reason Redbox is relevant is that you'll save a few bucks if you are diligent enough to return it the next day which few people are+the impulse buy factor. ...! posted:Going through my games library to settle on something new to play, I just discovered that out of the hundreds of games in the list, more than half are remasters or remakes of games from earlier systems and most of the rest are indies. Remakes probably account for 1% of games on PS4 so it's you. Not that theres anything wrong with that. Most games get remade for a reason.

Rental stores that are still around have a novel appeal. I love browsing, but in then end it just feels like 2 trips I didn't need to make. Collecting stuff is the opposite of necessity though. If you want a big shelf full of movies you are gonna want a big shelf full of movies. You know I'm the last person to call anyone out on having a large cabinet full of unnecessary crap. Video games are weird in that they actually have a number of reasons to exist on disc still imo. Sakurazuka posted:Mankind Divided is £5 at Tesco, not sure I've ever seen anything go down that far before unless they were clearing out years old stock. Not a great game, but totally worth playing and a steal at that price.

The only reason Redbox is relevant is that you'll save a few bucks if you are diligent enough to return it the next day which few people are+the impulse buy factor. The point though isn't renting new releases, it's ease of access to older titles. Cable companies will always get new releases on demand and red box will stock them as soon as they can, but if you want something older than a year good luck. Blockbuster did a nice job of carrying enough new releases to meet demand but also had a favorites or classics or whatever line that was older and had a good selection. If I know I'm going to watch something more than once I'll absolutely buy it.
