Why would I play Bloodborne when the order 1886 has the most graphics?

DS2 is really the only one where Mace is the best weapon because so many enemies and bosses took more damage from blunt weapons, there’s plenty of viable weapons in 1 and 3

That isn't even actually true though, at least not anymore. The mace is incredibly good, but the actual best weapons in the game are either the rapier or the red iron twinblade. DS2 has remarkably good weapon balance.

-edit if anyone missed the somewhat deep reference I think it was about a spoiler in Destiny 2 or maybe resident evil? In this thread

some guy got really mad when someone *spoiled* the fact that there was a "level" on a ship. That person as well as some defending him got mad because they didn't know there was a ship level and that the game could have taken place in the same setting as the initial levels and thus spoiled the story

or something like that it was all really dumb and lol

This is the complete opposite of what happened. "Spoilers buddy :argh:" was the only thing they said about the boat, which was all it took to send macarius wrench off the rails

Fair enough, I haven’t played since I beat the base game after launch besides a few hours of SotFS

I am considering whether $40 for a year of PS Plus is really worth it or if I should just let my subscription lapse.

With any luck the month it lapses is the month that Knack appears

Sorry, guy.
Skyrim question: PS4 pro owner here, 1080p screen.

DF’s original review of performance said it actually has more frame rate hitches than regular PS4s because it was pushing 4K and then downsampling.
DF’s review is from a year ago.

Did this ever get patched or improved? Is this a game worth playing?? I’m tempted to try it out.

Also 2 and 3 need an apology too but for different reasons.

Now, the big question is if they'll actually fix the problems the first game had -- like how if you actually fought half the battles in the game you'd end up with sub-par ratings and your best strategy was just to charge the scouts to objective points to win.

I always felt there was a great potential there for something really groundbreaking with VC's mechanics and somehow the series has never really lived up to that potential.

What was so wrong with 3, aside from the tiny maps? I didn't play that much of it, but it seemed to be competent, at least.

Tiny maps including a bunch copypasted from 2, a really rough start where you have to grind a bunch of stuff just to not get killed, and I was never a fan of just three characters getting super powers.

The story and most of the characters were ace though.

Edit: needing to grind each individual character is bullshit compared to each soldier type going up together.

Looked at the new releases trailers, and man the two PS2 to PS4 upgrades are like night and day. Okami HD looks like they just put a PS2 game on the PS4, while Shadows of the Colossus looks incredible.

So I was right about the setting and timeline.

Cast looks even younger in this, and half the girls have pseudo cat ears (head bands I think?), but this still appears to be a proper VC effort. I was pessimistic we were ever going to see another game after Revolution.

Cool to see it coming to other consoles. VC played well on the Vita, it'll be great on the Switch.

christ we just need a thread for all things DS/BB so y'all can bicker about which one you personally felt was best. It has been a while I suppose. Just enjoy what you like god drat

as someone that never played BB I agree with the BB meltdown also why is it being compared to HZD? Even comparing it to BOTW is a bit of a stretch :argh: give me a drat glider!!

Idk I think the circle jerk dog pile is much worse than the actual post :gerty:

I didn't compare the two games in any qualitative way. All I said was that BB is the best game on PS4, which is "objectively true" :smuggo:

I'm kind of annoyed that I bought SotC on PS3 (and never even really played it, was too busy with RL) and now they're releasing an EVEN BETTER version on PS4.

... still gone by the poo poo out of it and stoked as hell to play it again on a huge TV in 1080p, but dammit. :arghfist::fap:
