I'm done with this for a while, just got a corrupted save file on the PS4. Turn on cloud saves people.

BurningCourage posted:

it's buggy as hell. I've lost two playthroughs to unavoidable, gamebreaking bugs thus far on PS4.

Edit: So if you're on PS4, make sure to keep your saves backed up in case of bugs. First gamekilling bug happens during editing combat decks, if you spend too long in there the game will crash and take your save with it. Second bug is that sometimes, on beating a boss, it won't register as beaten, meaning that your playthrough will be in limbo from then on.

RE5 is pretty good, but the split screen ends up wasting a lot of screen space.

I had a good time playing through the entirety of Borderlands 2 with my brother, as well.

I hope it's an indirect sequel with the same Golden Playhouse theme, but a different story/scenario. The block-pushing mechanics were surprisingly well thought out and building on them would be pretty great.

atlus loves indirect sequels. look at persona or just smt in general

it'll probably be the same universe but different characters

So how about them Atari 'Retro' TV Handheld and Atari 'Retro' Joystick?

I don't really see the market for this, since there are multiple Atari throwback collections out there and they don't really have the fanbase that Nintendo has. That portable also looks uncomfortable as hell.

I did the same thing I did with the PS3; I waited 4 years after launch to get the console. Just got myself a PS4 slim after avoiding spoilers and paid like 40 euros to get a half dozen games I've wanted to play. It's awesome. Goddamn this controller is the most amazing thing. Bought Witcher 3 GOTY edition, MGS5, Arkham Knight, GTA5, No Man's Sky, Shadow of Mordor and all the PS+ games I've collected for a pittance and it's awesome. Journey in 60 fps is the best thing ever. It's so nice to actually wait for new games again.

Being able to get audio into your headphones through the controller might be the most ingenious thing ever.

Whenever they release Atari retro hardware without paddles I wonder what even the point is if its not to faithfully reproduce those games like Pong, Breakout, and Warlords that don't really work on joysticks. And then you can't even hook a second joystick into it to play Combat wtf. IDK who its for

HOLY gently caress FIST OF THE NORTH STAR HOLY poo poo

Lords of the Fallen is straight garbage. For example, if you use greatswords/large weapons, there is a jump attack that's a vertical slam. It's literally impossible to hit a target that you're locked on to, because the lock on puts the attack's hitbox to the right of the enemy's hitbox. Every. Single. Time. You can connect with through sheer chance. I think I got it to work 3 times in however many hours it took to beat that piece of poo poo.

And the boss fights are really terrible. Like the final boss of the game has like 4 moves, and you just dodge em and hit him for like 15 loving minutes. And I was playing with loving broken as hell max damage build. I can only Imagine if you had a less optimal build.

The magic system is worthless. you get to put down these AoE effects that only effect things within a big swirling blob of particles that literally blocks your view of what's going on. I got a badass slomo one that let me move in real time relative to slowed down enemies, but I stopped using it because it literally blocked me from seeing my character.

it's a bad game.

Fist of the North Star is gonna be great, though.

Bro Force has some flaws, but it's still really fun, especially if you are fans of 80s(and early 90s) action movies, since that's where all the references are from

OverCooked is the best one though. We call it "Choppy Game". it's real coop though, as in, you need to work together to win, one person can't carry the other. Can be stressful and you might yell at each other.

Surgery Simulator.

Blue Estate is worth a mention. It's shooter, but it's an arcade light-gun style shooter. It's really great, but it's some dark humor (it's pretty funny) and some real uh, male gaze type stuff. The main menu of the game is a stripper. So like, yeah. The gameplay is great though.

How does it play if all you have is the DS4? I've heard you can (have to?) use the sixaxis to aim? Does it work well?

Lords of the Fallen is v bad but the Surge seems to be everything it wasn't, with good core mechanics and even better level design.

That's what it's made for. It plays great using the gyros in the DS4 to aim. There's a button to manually recenter the crosshairs, which seems weird at first, but it's actually really comfortable. I had a blast playing it. There are difficulty levels. Various environments, and it's got a lot a story. Constantly, narrated and funny. There's also challenge modes and level select.

edit: ^ I am looking forward to playing the Surge when I can get it for like $20.
