uh, yeah, i don't really care what xbox and nintendo are doing because i haven't bought one of their consoles, but i do care that i bought a console that had an incrimental update a couple of years later, making the one i own work worse with the products intended for it well before expected obsolescense. it's not a huge world problem but it's still annyoing.

There's barely any reason to buy a pro unless you have a super fancy TV, I don't know why that's so consumer unfriendly. Christ, not long ago this thread was whining that not enough games took advantage of it.

Nah, it'll make a very noticeable difference even with a 1080p tv. Doesn't mean it's a major upgrade, and it's up to you whether it's worth the price tag.

i think the pro is consumer unfriendly because it makes the product i bought outdated a lot earlier than i expected it to. this makes me super mad.

Any game worth playing has a performance option as well as a resolution option for the Pro benefits. Those obviously don't need a 4K TV.

Eh, the PS4 has been around for 5 years, that's a whole system lifetime not that long ago. How long were you expecting it to last? Also, "super mad"? I mean, you could still enjoy your PS4. It's not like the games coming out for it even today don't run on it.

I didn't own a PS4 until I bought the Pro when it came out, so all you PS Poors can suck it while I enjoy 4K ULTRA HD GAMING. Although I had it for about 6 months before I realized my settings were not configured properly and I may not have been outputting 4K from the system lol.

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


Both the launch PS4 and XB1 were pretty underpowered for an entire console leap. I feel like the Pro is just baseline where this generation should have been at.

I actually played a proper couple of hours of GT Sport this evening what with the addition of the new-old mode and whatnot.

It's a loving amazing game but it makes it even more frustrating that Polyphony are so goddamn slow at development.

Still find it hilarious that they thought their servers were getting DDoSed for the past couple of days because of the sheer amount of people trying to log in to play the game.

the pro came out 3 years after the original. i think that's a bit to close.
the super mad was a joke, as long as my console plays BB i'm good.

I really regret jumping on the gun and buying Bloodborne Non-Complete edition on sale right after getting my PS4. At this point someday I'll end doing the utterly ridiculous act of buying the GOTY Edition of a game I already own because it's cheaper than the DLC that never goes on sale.

Inshallah, in a few years time most "Bloodborne sales" will be honeypots set up by the government to entrap the remaining few outlaws who haven't yet platted it and earned their first-class citizenship.

Samuringa posted:

Of all the wild explanations I've seen of Soulsborne games, this one is a serious contender for the best.

Why? It's pretty spot on. People are frightened to play soulsborn games because they're 'hard'. But they're only really hard in the sense that they look like your typical hack and slash RPG, but the core gameplay death mechanics are much closer to an old school platformer.

One view has people banging their head against a wall and quitting in frustration, the other sets the expectation of 'you're going back to the last checkpoint to try and do it better' instead of 'gently caress, I gotta kill everything again'.

Same. It was alright and sufficiently old school anime weird non sequitur when it railroaded to the finish. But driving with bros was top drawer.
