I found an infinity ladder once. Senua just kept climbing up and up and I saw the entire map. Then she fell.

Gonna grab a 2TB Seagate Firecuda SSHD next week and a dock along with it and do the HD transfer thing, I will not need to de-authorize this hd+ps4 combo for each account, right?

Posted this in the actual game thread but I figure it's worth posting here as well. I never really played Shadow of Mordor beyond like 5 minutes at a friend's house years ago and even though I'm not a Lord of the Rings guy per se, it seemed fun and the new one looks interesting. In reading and watching a lot of reviews of Shadow of War, many seem to say it refines a lot of the first game but also bloats it and there is all the loot crate stuff. Which do you all recommend a I play? The first game or second? I don't really care much for story, so that's not all that important to me, if that matters. The fortress stuff sounds neat but it seems like SoW has a lot of confusing and/or unnecessary stuff. I figure this is the best place to ask.

Attitude Indicator posted:Hellblade can be a bit janky. I didn’t have any problems myself, but at a friends she managed to drop the main character out of world and turn her sword invisible and other stuff. I've managed to trigger a whole lot of dialogue when it's not supposed to. The game really doesn't expect you to backtrack or look for the lore stones. Anyway, I beat it. Pretty nice ending section, even if I would've liked there to be a little more of it. Don't know what, I just felt it was missing something to make it really memorable. Still enjoyed the game overall. I first thought the narrator was supposed to be Senua after she 'died' and became a new person. But the ending seems to suggest otherwise. Any idea what the narrator's deal is? Is it just the calmer, stronger version of the voices? It was also strange how Druth just kinda disappeared from the story after the first trials. I suppose finding the lore stones addresses that a little, but it will be a while before I collect them. I missed three 😠 Renoistic fucked around with this message at 16:32 on Oct 21, 2017 |

If you can find the first one cheap then go for that, if you can't then you may as well go for the sequel.

After thinking about it, I wouldn't mind a sequel to Hellblade where a slightly more stable Senua goes to ruin some vikings' day. I appreciated how the game did away with the romanticized portrayal of vikings and their 'travels'.

What are you doing with your USB ports, I have one for the external and one for lego dimensions and never needed to disconnect either. Never had any issues with loading or data. Compare that to downloading a couple hundred gigs of stuff.

Let's just go back to your original argument of "bunch of failure points in the chain", you are already daisy chaining a million things into a console meant for like 4 official ones, you probably shouldn't be opening one up. Chances are it's plugged into this.

I hate externals. I've never liked the idea that I'm playing games off a thing that I could just disconnect in a second and much prefer having everything be one complete unit. It's really easy to swap internal HDDs on a PS4, and PS4 Pro made it drat near PS3-tier easy to do so. Having 2TB of games on my Pro at my fingertips without having to carry around or take care of a second piece of equipment is a great feeling.

I love Deus Ex and am pretty upset it went out like that. Jensen is a drat cool protagonist

The biggest culprits I can remember are Arkham Knight, Doom, Wolfenstein: TNO, and GTA V. Those take up anywhere from 40 to 60 each.

If there was any drive on the business side for those few huge PS4 games to use less data, could they shed a lot of gigabytes and not be that different to the player?

Battlefield 1 with all DLC uses 100gb, Doom 2016 is around 77gb. For someone like me that likes switching games constantly, I couldn't stay with just 500gb.

Samurai Sanders posted:If there was any drive on the business side for those few huge PS4 games to use less data, could they shed a lot of gigabytes and not be that different to the player? The reason they use use so much space is because they use uncompressed assets. It's generally faster to load them that way on a console because you're not losing time decompressing model assets and then loading them.

Samurai Sanders posted:I have it. Unfortunately it is a more or less an unmitigated wreck. It has all the problems of previous games, horrific frame rate and janky controls and stuff, but also no sense of peril due to no water/heat/whatever dwindling resource, and also no exploration or inventory management. It's just a series of very cramped areas where you have to do something to escape and sometimes push the square button to dodge a monster attack or something. I regret buying it. I only hope my 8900 yen goes to making 4 better. That's a shame, it looked like exactly my poo poo. There are other games in this? This was the first I had seen of any type of game like this, I'll have to check out the others.

Quantum of Phallus posted:The load times in Prey remind me of trying to run Bioshock on my ancient PC with half a gig of RAM back in like 2007 In MY day, we wrote custom autoexec.bat files for each game, carefully using the 'loadhigh' command to shove as much of the mouse driver, CD drive (three cheers for mscdex.exe,) and so on, into high memory, so the base 640k was still available, so Wing Commander 2 would load the add on speech files to play out of your soundblaster, and the lip flaps on the cut scenes wouldn't be in super slow motion. Hell, I remember playing Wing Commander 3 on a 386, and the game would take a good ten to twenty minutes to transition in and out of the flight sim. Really sucked on missions with videos triggered during flight, like the defense of the Behemoth. Started replaying FF8 last night, because I wanted to. It was a goddamn technical marvel at the time, on the hardware; I'm still impressed by the transition right at the beginning, when Quistis picks you up from the infirmary, you both walk down the hall, down the next hall, and boom, suddenly the camera pulls out, a CGI starts to play of a swooping pass across the Garden grounds, but they were smart enough to start with the in-game models and transition to the CG-quality ones.

because there's something wrong with my brain i've wanted to replay FF8 recently too. i think my favorite part about that game is that in order to totally break it you have to do some extremely counter intuitive poo poo, primarily never leveling up and secondarily never healing out of danger
