Can we not dogpile someone for not liking something about Bloodborne?

If it helps, direct your ire at people disliking Bloodbourne bits at me. I've only played the first little bit (from the werewolf up to the monster after two werewolves on a bridge) and made it no further. I sort of lost interest.

There is valuable amusement to be gained from watching goobers pretend like they are some sort of persecuted minority, when in actuality they have broken brains and flaccid opinions.

Oh I definitely have a broken brain, but it has been mended! :)

I just finished Horizon Zero Dawn (which is my favourite PS4 game ever) and am making my way through my other games and will return to Bloodborne to try and complete it. I think spending 10 hours on the first section (just trying to get past the two werewolves on the bridge) was very draining. I've not really played any souls games either! I will give Bloodborne another shot at some point! :D

There's a hidden route around them near the fountain, behind the mass of crates - take it, then head through the dark house with the wheelchair guy on the ground floor. You'll open up shortcuts to the lantern and first boss.

This is weirdly defensive and needlessly disagreeable posting. Nobody was assailing the great honor of Bloodborne, but pointing out very real, well-documented technical issues with the game that among other things, should be taken into consideration if buying a PS4 Pro.

I'm just hoping that there will be a trade in deal going on when the destiny pro bundle launches.
Finally upgrading to the pro. Though Boost mode does give me an excuse to start a new file on BloodBorne and play it all the way again.

I have ideas but not solutions. You can install virtualbox, and windows 10 in it, or any other OS that is supported. I don't think remote play requires 3D hardware.

PS4PRO2 idea:

- SSD disc with 512 GB.
- Gold plated
- 4 USB ports (yea, thats x2 has many the original)
- 2 HDMI ports for monitor 1 and monitor 2, so instead of splitscreen, each player can see a different screen.

Still don't get why Sony always skips out on the USB ports.

Can we talk SSDs for a sec? Pro improved the connections which would improve the gain from SSD, no? Just haven't really seen much talk at all about them, or hybrid drives, like before

I'm guessing because they're still not in that affordable/practical realm yet. I'm fine with a 1TB only for storage, but expensive as an SSD

Yes, the gains are pretty substantial - as far as the read/write speed being the bottleneck:

PS4 Pro does have SATA 3 but Digital Foundry tested it, and found that SATA 3 makes only a minor difference. And hybrid drives seem useful for games that you play often.

My two usb ports:
- Earphones plug.
- Expanded storage.

I must choose between charging a earphone or a controller, or using earphones.

I can always connect these devices to a third party usb charger, but I believe these short the battery life of the devices.

Is kind of lame that the PS4 don't have more usb ports.

One is the proprietary (?) port for the camera, I thought it was a USB port too until I got the camera and looked at the plug.

edit: I've been using a SSHD in my PS4 for a long time now and I'm pretty happy with it. I dunno how it compares to a stock hard drive on the Pro though; when I got mine I just swapped the stock drive out without trying it.

So there's a third USB in the back. And an Optical port I was unaware of, I'll need to get a cable for that one

The ps4 pro adds a USB port to the back though which is where confusion may come from?

While the SSHD is really cool, the Firecuda specs shows only 8GB of NAND, so I don't know how many maps that scales with, especially something MP-focused like Battlefront 2 and Destiny 2.

Probably something by Mad Catz, but I'd ask in the Fighting Games thread to get the best possible answer to be sure.
