Ugly In The Morning posted:Motherfucker, I was playing Nier Automata and I was at the prologue boss fight with the two spiny wheel of death things, and both hit me at basically the same time so the auto recover didn’t kick in and I died. I’m gonna have to play the whole prologue again, aren’t I? Prologue is designed to be done in 15 minutes, you don't need to play it on easy. Spam dodge, works like a charm. That prologue is so awesome I've probably played it north of 25 times. Samuringa posted:Rayman Legends is on a flash sale at the PSN, it's the best Rayman and it has all of Origins levels in it. It has SOME of the Origins levels, but it remixes a lot of them, too. I found Origins to be the better platformer, even though Legends obviously had a higher budget. There's no replacement for Land of the Livid Dead, or some of those final Origins levels where the platforming challenge was more like Celeste than Rayman.

DS2 DLC is fantastic. Just avoid the coop areas and you'll be fine.

poptart_fairy posted:The Echo scenes are great for tiny details. Name tags lining up with people you've met, little things hinting at details of their lives, etc. Especially good one where a riot has broken out due to someone gunning down an aid worker; tons of the civilians have names and their own little fights going on, but there's no sign of a gun on any of them...except for one rogue Division agent sneaking through a door, weapon in his hands. yeah. the game is genuinly good and pretty nauanced. it makes me kinda sad that alot of sites/critics went full broad brush with it because they played for 10 min and it had the tom Clancy title. its people looking for poo poo to poo poo on.

I started the C ending in Nier:A last night and bounced off hard. The RPG elements subtract so much from the game and add nothing. I love doing no damage because I skipped the bland combat and didn't grind all of the possible side quests in the previous two endings. The B ending could have been condensed into an hour instead of 10 or whatever. Honestly, I might have given up already if the soundtrack wasn't so stellar. Maybe it's the number of RPGs and anime that I have seen or whatever, but existentialism is a fairly hackneyed topic, and it does nothing for me. I'm really hoping the C ending flies off the rails as much as this thread claims.

if you hate having to replay part of the game in nier automata, never play any of the yoko taro games that were released before it because they are waaaaaaay worse about that I was actually impressed that you only had to do it one time

It's still probably worth playing just for it's general weirdness, originality, and the incredible soundtrack, but I really don't get why everyone acts like it's perfect. It's a very clunky game in a lot of ways that gets really repetitive, and a lot of it's gameplay doesn't feel fully fleshed out at all. The gameplay is really good with a couple of faults but nothing huge is the main reason.

I legitimately enjoyed the gameplay/combat of nier automata. it could have done with more enemy variety tho and gating parts of the moveset the way they did was a bad ideafruit on the bottom posted:I was in Old Yharnam before I even realized I could. the souls games have always had a pretty awkward jumping mechanic, it's true also animations are tied to the framerate so 60 fps jumps were way harder in the pc port of dark souls 1 and I wonder if that'll still be true in the ps4/switch versions

The part of Nier Automata that almost broke me was near the beginning of Route C when 2B starts to overheat, I fell down that giant pit in the center of the map and the damaged animation would play too frequently to actually let me climb the ladder, but I spent like fifteen minutes trying my damndest. Then on my second attempt I hoped to fast-track it by leaving animal bait out and riding a boar or something to not have to endure the tedious walk around the map (and that one guy is right, the maps in Nier A are pretty terrible), but the damaged animation threw off the timing just enough that the animal would finish the bait and walk away before you could mount him, and by the time I knew it was fruitless I died like fifteen feet from the bridge and had to it all a third time. I also hated 9S's section originally but once I started treating the hacking more like a puzzle to blow up groups instead of just trying to brute-force it like I was playing as 2B it helped. I also didn't realize it right away but the hacking music is just a MIDI version of whatever song was already playing in the normal game and that was such a delight I kept just pushing forward to hear more of it.

The comment about it being perfect wasn’t aimed directly towards you, more the thread in general. I guess I just feel like I’d have enjoyed it a lot more if the shmup segments felt like a real game and not a novelty where you kill the same enemy 50 thousand times, and if the map was generally just more enjoyable to explore. The combat itself is fine but it got boring quickly because of the lack of variety. Just felt like it could have been a much better game to me.

That’s a good question. The box advertises “sturdy new design” but I wouldn’t be shopping for a new headset in the first place if my last pair of golds wasn’t held together by duct tape and a bent ruler, so I’m not sure I want to give them my $$$ again. I really like them other than the lovely headband though.

El Jebus posted:Tell me about your PS4 compatible headsets. I’m losing the final strands of tape and plastic holding my Sony Golds together and I need something new. I don’t think I’ve got $300 for A50s, probably something closer to $100-150. Anyone have the Turtle Beach Stealth 600 or 700? HyperX recently released a wireless headset, the Cloud Flight, and I've owned them for about a week and am enjoying them so far. Super comfortable, solid sound quality (it's stereo not surround, but their stereo sounds a lot better than other "surround" headsets I've tried), and some insane 30 hour battery life. Only annoying downsides for me are the LEDs are on by default and they contribute to battery drain, so you have to click 2 buttons every time you turn on the headset to turn the lights off, and my old headset had separate volume wheels for game and voice chat, which were a really nice benefit I had gotten used to, and the Flight only has the one wheel so you might have to fiddle with on-screen volume controls once in a while. Otherwise, recommended.

It's rather annoying that the PS4 won't accept standard wireless BT headphones and has no audio jack, since the audio quality from the gamepads is trash. I'm playing DJMax now and it's extremely noticeable.

I loved the game, but that part was incredibly frustrating. One time I did what you did – only I made it to the top of the ladder but couldn't climb up the pipe. Another time I got knocked off a ledge by robots and dogpiled so bad that my healing chips weren't worth poo poo. I get what they were going for thematically and I liked all the cool distortion effects, but I think they should have let you move and jump normally in the interest of playability. To a larger point, I never felt like any of my deaths in the game were "earned". I'd get stunlocked by projectiles before I knew what was happening (despite having the iframe chip) or get one shot by a dumb melee attack or something. It was like you were either full health/healing or dead with no in between.

Actually, it's the opposite. It only works on Pro-supported games that have a higher res mode that's only selectable if it detects you have a 4k tv. Basically it tricks games into thinking your tv is 4k and unlocks their 4k mode. Leaving it on could affect performance if the game has been shown to run slower in its 4k mode.

I'm assuming therefore that the supersampling option would have no effect on that game? Or would it supersample even when on performance mode?

I think for that game it would have no effect, because even 4k tvs running Performance Mode are getting 1080p, cause that's what Performance Mode is designed to do. Some games already do their own supersampling so this new mode should have no effect on them. Just for games that lock out Resolution mode or 4k auto-detect from 1080p displays.
