some people were mad that ellie was gay I think but nobody was upset that the dlc was character focused. that's a big part of what people liked in tlou

Also I think it bears mentioning that “getting kissed by your friend in an emotionally charged moment =/= gay” and there were probably 20 pages of discussion on that in what were probably the darkest days of TLoU PS3 thread

Edit: she totally could be gay, but everything that people did to misinterpret the ending of the game was in FULL EFFECT for the end of the DLC

The pro looks like it has 3 layers, Slim and OG PS4 have 2 layers. Chances are if it's used it's an OG destiny bundle but it's not impossible it's a pro. Destiny 2 has a pro bundle and 1 had a normal PS4 buncdle. They are both white. Definitely go for one of the newer models and skip the original PS4 at this point.

Well, you could just ask the salesperson if it's a Pro or vanilla. Barring that, at a glance the old version looks like 2 stacked trapezoids and the Pro is 3. AKA this: https://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-...ywords=PS4&th=1 vs this: https://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-...dpSrc=srch&th=1

Well, efb but I provided pictures!

Awesome, this is a lot of good information to go off of, thank you all so very much! I'll try to get over there tonight and take a closer look and see if it's a Pro or not. Are there issues with the OG version versus the Slim or Pro, if anything?

The slim and pro have better wifi, run cooler and in most cases quieter. Do not get an OG ps4 unless is drat cheap.

One caveat, if you weren't going to get a pro, and your audio set up is based on optical, I believe the slims don't have optional so you still want a og ps4 for that (the pro has optical as well)

I've been slowly ticking away at Persona 5 since release and my wife pointed out that I've been pretty much playing along month by month in real time with the in-game calender. I wasn't even trying to do anything like that, just funny how it worked out. I think there was a thread on Gaf where someone wanted to play the game day by day in real time with the game to make it all seem more real or something.

OG fat can have some static buildup issues with the touch-sensitive buttons, but I don’t think there have been any widespread hardware issues beyond that. Slim is smaller, quieter, less power-hungry, and has physical buttons. Pro has 4k / HDR support and can boost frame rate on some older games.

ed; beaten :argh:

Oh yeah, the slim adds 5GHz wifi over the OG but wifi sucks on all models, use an ethernet cable if you can.

Thanks again for the help all. I went to check out the unit a bit closer and it was indeed an OG Destiny unit. After close inspection, it wasn't in the best shape either, so I'm gonna pass on it for now. I think I'll try to keep an eye out for either a Slim or Pro down the line since it's not really incredibly urgent. But at least I know now what's the better option(s) so I really appreciate it!

I beat HoF 2 and absolutely loved it. Every single level is unique with its own challenges and puzzles, unlike the first game where the main differences were just the enemies you faced and what curses you started with. Combat is also much improved and weapon choice is a lot more meaningful. It's great, play it.

In the past few days my PS4 has turned itself off after being put in rest mode. When I go to turn it on, I have to fiddle with the power and HDMI cables for a while to get it to eventually turn on. It's an OG PS4 from 2015. Any ideas what I need to do? Get a new power cable or is it something more serious?

Mines started doing that too. Never have to fiddle with cables but sometimes it does take a few tries to respond to the power button after it does that. Same deal, original model from 2014

I had a similar experience and believe that it is a very good game that is best enjoyed with long breaks between routes a b and c. The endings are very good but you do not need to rush through them all.

This. But it's also obvious that the release of Left Behind was a politically sensitive moment where arguing about whether she was or not was kind of beside the point, and also :laffo: Ellen Page came out on the very same day that left Behind was released which was weird and awesome.

This is hilarious. Previously it was a very special sort of person that could power through any of the King's Field games but now they have fan boys.

Not only does Bloodborne look, play, and run like a turd comparatively, that is just an objective truth; nut moreover, Bloodborne is also merely the least bad game in a series of bad games by a (pretty)bad developer who is having a brief moment in the spotlight in response to bad industry practices.

The brief foray into motion controls and "making gaming accessible for everyone" lowered the standards across the board in the industry and the popularity of poorly designed games that "don't hold your hand" is a backlash, it didn't make FromSoft good at developing fun interesting games to play, it just made a bigger niche audience willing to accept bump-mapped turd fests as AAA titles.

I get it, you've drank the Kool-Aid and now everything is Bloodborne and nothing hurts, but the rest of us who aren't losing touch with reality are finding year 3 of this poo poo dull.
