I have only a couple weeks to finish AC Origins if I want to trade it in with a couple other games for Dragonball Fighterz (no additional charge). So now I'm wondering if it's worth rushing through this game because it is legit good but it's not much time to do everything I want with it. Especially if I care about future DLC or events.

Cuz I do want to play DBZ and this is the best price I'm going to get for it for many months.

I don’t know man, AC:O is packed full of great non main story content and the DLC setup sounds very promising.

Yeahhhhhh I know. I mean, I never get games at release so getting DBZ like this would already be a big departure for me and the deal would be a complete no-brainer if only my third of the three trade-in games was anything else (or if I had physical copies of the several eligible games I only own digitally).

Probably smarter to just play it later. Use a gift card when there's some kind of sale, maybe.

I'm going to import EDF5 since there's no US release date announced yet. Thinking about getting the 10k yen card because it would end up being cheaper than piecemeal cards to total 8k yen. Is there anything else worth importing from the JP store?

It also has what's probably the best reward in the game as well.
Mad Dog style just breaks the difficulty curve in a way nothing else in the game does. Its stab move just deletes multiple health bars from bosses at a time.

Are things in Inquisition supposed to be incredibly loving expensive? I don’t think I’ve gone above 3k gold in the entire game. A single decent weapon is like 800.

I had a poo poo ton of gold by mid-game but that's probably because I got into crafting. I remember buying books and base upgrades but not equipment.

I bought a PS4 Pro last night off craigslist for $300 w/ GTAV and Uncharted 4, two games I've been meaning to buy. figure if I can sell my PS4 for ~$200 or a little under I will have basically gotten a free upgrade.

Does anybody have recommendations for the best games to play to see the difference with 4k & HDR? Horizon Zero Dawn looks stellar but it's not natively 4k or anything. What are the upcoming releases that will be bleeding edge and natively support 4k?

I was looking around to see if a universal remote could turn on the PS4, and I found this thing:

https://smile.amazon.com/PlayStation-Receiver-Logitech-Harmony-Control-4/dp/B01K3VMBM0/

Does anyone have any experience with it? (I realize that it somehow just came out.) The reviews (no way to use the option button? have to program a macro to turn off the PS4?) and questions implying it's been delayed numerous times don't exactly inspire confidence.

Toilet Rascal
Zero Dawn and Uncharted 4 are still the showcase games, they aren't native but should look better than a non-pro PS4 plugged into the same TV. The Pro still doesn't have quite enough power for native 4K *and* a full suite of cutting edge effects so the native 4K titles are the less ambitious indie games.

Don't buy weapons, craft them. Schematics are cheaper and with the exception of a couple very rare weapons the crafted poo poo is always better. Money is generally only an issue in the very early game,. You can also abuse a glitch where you leave one item in a chest and then leave and reload the area and it will all respawn, so take the cash and leave something dumb then come back for free cash.

I'm definitely going for crafting, but I still need a lot of gold to buy all those schematics in the Black Emporium. Am I just still too early in the game?

Yeah but it was released on PS3 at the same time as Unity on the PS4, it would have made even less sense to release it on PS4 as well, at the same time the brand new next gen game came out

I sort of thought it had? Black Flag was a launch title, and weren't Liberty/Rogue/The one I can't remember they just gave away for free all kind of at the same time?

Nope. Just PS3, X360 and PC.

It really is worth your time playing though, because Shay is the first enjoyable protagonist since Ezio. He's stuck being a Templar for some very sound reasons, and you can tell it's breaking his heart every time he has to fight one of the Assassins because they're people he's known most of his life.

Black Emporium has some high level schematics IIRC so those might be the expensive ones. High level crafted stuff doesn't have a level minimum but if you don't have a good idea of who and what your party is going to look like you might want to hold off. If any schematics catch your eye I would look them up online before buying since they're scant on details until you own them.

BE schems are expensive if you're buying the legendary ones. Best regular armor schems are in Hissing Wastes - look for a shop in the middle of the canyon. Best weapon are unlocked after you liberate the keep in Emprise du Lion. You mentioned doing WEWH so you should have plenty of money by now - I think you've just been buying the really pricey poo poo.

e: you can get a couple of Inquisition perks from Josie that improve both the money you get for selling the garbage you pick up and reduced prices, those might help too. I know I always end a game with more money than I know what to do with so it's not a scarce resource.

Played some more Bloodborne last night! Took about an hour to get back into the groove as it had been so long, but eventually was parrying the big chunky guys near the start with 75% accuracy again!

Died a couple of times to Father Gascgoine and decided to take a break. I think I know what I am doing wrong but it was so late and I was exhausted.

You were looking for a way to change your insight, you could not do this on your own. All the ways you wish you could be, that's Bloodborne. Bloodborne looks like you wanna look, it hunts like you wanna hunt, it is smart, capable, and most importantly...Bloodborne is bloody in all the ways that you are not. People do it every day, they talk to themselves, they see themselves...as they'd like to be. They don't have the courage that you have to just hunt beasts. Naturally...you're still wrestling with frenzy so sometimes you're a corpse, other times you wake up seeking Paleblood. Little by little, you're just letting yourself become .......VideoGames.
