I was thinking about it earlier today, and imho at least, Titanfall 2 might be the best balls to the wall action game ever made. At least that I have played.

The single-player campaign certainly has some pretty amazing setpieces, like the firing range assembly plant and the time-travel level.

Yeah, it's really, really good. The other day I was thinking "this is like if Halo was really cool". I was never into Halo, but obviously a lot of people went nuts for it.

It's so insanely paced. I'm garbage at it, but it's still fun and the matchmaking is good enough that I am often in the tip half of my team and feeling like a badass even when I'm constantly loving up the fancy rear end movement.

I should probably try a gametype besides attrition at some point.

Sorry, guy.
Let's put it this way... the core gameplay of Titanfall 2 feels so good, I actually find myself not caring all that much about getting in a Titan.

I love getting in and out of titans like a badass.

I rodeo like, all the time. My time split between being a pilot.and being in a titan is almost exactly 75/25, which I'm pretty happy with.

Like, there's nothing better than seeing a friendly titan fighting an enemy titan and stealing a battery from the enemy titan and giving it to the friendly one while they're fighting.

Also that magnetic grenade launcher is so good.

TF2 strikes a nice balance between pilot and titan gameplay to me. I find them both equally fun for different reasons, yet I always want to get my titan because it means more points and kills. Basically they nailed it and that's exactly how it should be.

Frontier defense is really exciting. The PVE is insanely fun but in PVP the AI is more of a way to rack up points than a challenge. I've played like 300 hours of PVP and sometimes it just pisses me off and I'd love a horde mode to just chill out on when I'm playing like poo poo.

Uhm I got the 55" from Costco. I wouldn't get it anywhere else, Costco one has a nice dark bezel. 58" is new to me though? Should be 60 then 65. 60" might have a different manufacture so the quality might not be as good but don't listen to me do your own research because these is when they first dropped

I just started a PS Now trial because I wanted to replay Red Dead Redemption and I didn't even make it past the title screen because my connection dropped. I'm supposed to be getting 75 mbps but I guess that's not enough??? I passed the initial connection test.

Also why the heck isn't Red Dead Redemption for sale on the PS Store?

edit: nevermind streaming is just fine now.
The launch of the Destiny 2 beta yesterday might have made PSN feel its oats a bit. Big releases and preloads have a tradition of crushing PSN under its weight, but they're thankfully getting better at this.

Release day is going to absolutely hammer the network.

If you can find one, sure, but they've been discontinued for a few months and Costco is pretty aggressive about pulling discontinued items off the shelves (or, discounting them to move before they do so, which is how I got my 65" KS8000 for $1480 there).

The MU8000/MU800D are the model lines that directly replaced the KS8000/KS800D.

Edit: most reviewers seem to think that the Sony XBR 900e series is better than the Samsung MUs for this model year, but they're a good bit more expensive.

I really don't think this is the case. The first game was a technical mess to make content for, and they clearly wanted an excuse to make a complete clean break from a balance perspective.

I don't know if it was ever a 10 year dlc plan, though - all they said was that you'd have your character for 10 years, not that it would be one single game supported by expansions like an MMO. A lot of people assumed that would be the case but I don't think they said it?

As per tradition as Bungie, Destiny 2 seems to have been rebooted 15 months ago. I wouldn't be surprised if content at launch is lean and they spend the rest of the year working on making the game feature complete.

Dont get me wrong I bought the first one on a whim purely because a bunch of people said it sucked, had a dam good time with it but the second is gonna come out in a bit of a lul and I'm gonna be caught up in the hype.

I'm still tooling around a bit in Horizon, but my next big game ps4 purchase is going to be a neat fighting stick and a copy of Nier: Automata I think.

It turns out I have a few fighting games and even though I have barely played the genre, so many gaming things have been surprising me lately!

Also Nier came out the same time as Horizon and so far everything from that period has been stellar, so it makes good gaming sense :)

Check to see if your TV supports hdmi control first. The last three TVs I have owned do, which makes this redundant.

my Panasonic tv from 2008 supports it but it barely works for me on PS4. pretty much just play/pause and navigating menus. there's a slight delay too, so I usually just use the controller.

Man, I keep getting one shotted in Persona 5. This hasn't been a problem up until now (I'm now in the Casino palace), but like three times now, I've got into a fight and the enemy has just killed my main character with no chance to do anything about it. It's never been from an instant death thing either, it's just been going into a battle and just happening to have a persona weak against what the opponent has (except once when I got despair cast on me twice in a row, which is apparently instant death).

IMO you should always have at least one Persona who has no weaknesses. There is at least one available at every level range, I think.

Yeah, but even that would require remembering to equip that persona, which I'm bad at doing. Hell, one of the deaths was because I had a Persona that was weak to physical and kept forgetting to never keep him equipped (I finally got rid of him so that wouldn't be a problem).

Only official accessories can turn on the PS4 with the PS button for some reason, so it makes Harmony stuff not work.

But it looks like the PDP official remote this is replacing did have a power button so I guess I could just track down one of those.


Edit: Actually it seems Logitech may have silently updated the PS4 function and I don't need the remote to copy at all.

It was frustrating getting steamrolled in P5 sometimes, but that's also what i like about the battle system in the game. There aren't really any even fights, either you bulldoze the enemy quick or they'll do it to you.
It's not like a FF game, for example, where you can just select attack through most battles and heal when necessary.
