I am ready as hell for some golf. Yakuza Kiwami comes on the same day, and I think it's going to take the back seat for a little while.

Samurai Sanders posted:There are threads about individual games in this forum? That's a funny thing to say in the Bloodborne thread. 8-Bit Scholar posted:If I've never particularly loved any of the main Uncharted games, is there anything they do differently in this installment that would entice? Chloe was the only character I particularly liked besides Sully (if only because she was actually, y'know, a thief and proudly amoral) and I'd be vaguely interested in an adventure with her but if it's just the same Uncharted gameplay I'm probably gonna pass. I'm new to the Uncharted series but thought this would be a good place to jump in. So far, I'm pretty unimpressed and find myself missing the two current gen Tomb Raiders. I'm trying to work out if that's just rose coloured glasses on my part or what. Controlling Chloe feels a little like moving through water all the time. I think it's because she is transitioning in and out of animations, so there always feels like a little delay into acceleration when you have her move or change directions. The early part of the game was like a walking simulator mixed with an old school adventure game where you wander around looking for the triangle icon to show up, telling you there's something to interact with. It's like the world's slowest quick time events. When the game opens up, it's more fun but everything is sectioned off in a way that feels very video-gamey. Now we are in a Driving area. Now we are in a Climbing area. Now we are in a Shooting area. Now we are in a Puzzle area. I'm spoiled for open worlds after RotTR & HZD. Both of those games (especially HZD) build up systems and interactions between them that you can learn and mess with. So far, Uncharted feels like a series of one-time things, or discrete elements that are near one another but don't interact much. Chloe and Nadine are a charming pair, well acted and animated and I am enjoying their chemistry so far.

doingitwrong posted:That's a funny thing to say in the Bloodborne thread. Uncharted has a lot of ps3 baggage as a series where the whole point of the games was to make an interactive movie incorporating cover shooting, thereby capitalizing on both the new blueray storage medium with never before seen levels of polish and detail and the hot new gameplay of the time that was fueling xbox360's rise. The uc4 series has moved on a bit but they are still lowest common denominator games for the mass market with little that makes them special outside of the unbeatable presentation. For most players its just a fun rollercoaster ride to buy when they go to walmart for madden. This current entry imo happens to distill whats great about it and leave the rest out (although without 2 great characters from the other games)

I hear it's actually good too, just DOA because there's just too much out there. Tbh I'm finding the pick a hero games pretty off putting atm. It's like the new god awful thing in every video game and I immediately lose interest when I see it, even if it's conceptually fine, I dunno just blech. It's like the new "minecraft elements" or "survival"

There was also the Gurren Lagann MMO that corrupted the Windows install of every beta tester, so they sent everyone free USB hard drives to back up their files and cancelled the MMO immediately.

A big update for PSO2 hosed up it's launcher hard enough that if it was installed to a non-standard directory, it'd wipe that drive. If it was installed to its normal place there was a chance it would delete FFXIV if it was around, too. e: Also the good ol' EVE boot.ini massacre

mastershakeman posted:Any idea why my ps4 controller won't hold a charge? I have to leave it plugged in and it works for the most part, although if I'm doing something with a lot of rumble it'll keep disconnecting from the battery drain. Tried like 3 different USB cables but those shouldn't matter - they're working enough to keep it active most of the time but never actually charge it. What gives? Use a paper clip on the reset button near the L2 trigger

I bought it a while ago and haven't really had the time to dog into it, but I was kind of shocked how stiff the controls felt. The game introducing the players to the gameplay with a forced stealth section where the enemy insta-kills you didn't exactly make me psyched to continue playing.

Real hurthling! posted:Its like the best 30 mins from each of the other games all in a row so its good if you like them. Maybe not if you dont Yeah, I just finished it, and while it's certainly an Uncharted game, through and through, your description is pretty apt; the puzzles were clever without being terribly annoying, the traversal is varied and never outstays its welcome, the gunplay is (thankfully) Uncharted 4-derived, so it feels easier to land those all-important headshots, and the shootouts are neither too common, nor too restrictive. It all feels like a greatest hits of the best parts of Uncharted, all while dipping a toe into the waters of semi-open world and sandbox shootouts that let you use the environment. That final sequence, though, was stunning. I genuinely think it topped the Uncharted 2 train sequence. Man, that was a great ride. Just long enough to be enjoyable, with a decent story, and leaves things open for a continuation of the series. Even with a side team, Naughty Dog makes some loving killer rear end games, god drat...

I found the DLC tedious because all the stuff that makes the game good (Combat, resource management and cool set pieces) are pretty much completely absent. It doesn't feel like a game. Or at least a game where a choice between handgun, shotgun or a glass bottle can kill you. WaltherFeng fucked around with this message at 13:36 on Aug 24, 2017 |

I got Evil Within after seeing the sequel trailer at E3 during one of the many, many sales post-E3 where it was on the PSN for like $20 to get the complete edition and I play it off and on. It's a really neat game that has some fun ideas but there's some real bullshit in it, like the central plot gimmick is more or less an excuse to radically change settings whenever they feel like it and there's so many instant death traps or bosses with 1-hit kill maneuvers but I find it oddly endearing in a weird PS2-era chintzy Survival Horror game kind of way. It's really unapologetic about what it wants and you either click with it or you don't, and there's been times when some bullshit happens and I immediately just quit out like "nope done with you for the day" but I'm back the next day like alright let's do this. Love the aesthetic, love a lot of the mechanics involved, kinda like the story, very interested in seeing where Mikami goes with the sequel.

BeanpolePeckerwood posted:Naughty Dog doesn't have a B team. They only have one game in production at a time, with another in extended pre-production. Jesus Christ, I know how Naughty Dog works; I meant Straley didn't direct this one. I guess I should have put it into quotes or something? For all the complaints about there not being any innovation in the game, they clearly spent a lot of time building out slightly branching pathways and throwing more puzzles into the game, which I really dug. There seemed to be a logical consistency to most of the fights where enemies showed up from obvious places that weren't just "they blew up that wall over there you can't see yet and that's where they're pouring in from." The puzzles have been dialed back in more recent games, and ones that were there weren't terribly interesting, but I really dug the optional, one-off concept stuff that was done for this one. The reward you get for exploring these little optional challenges also makes treasure hunting a hell of a lot easier, so your time investment is really nicely rewarded.
