I've tried the drinking whatever in the shower/bath thing, can't say it really does anything for me. Baths/showers in the dark, however, are neat. Only reason I don't take more baths is because I can't stretch out enough in a standard-size tub, which is all I can fit in my bathrooms. Give me the huge one like in Until Dawn and I'd gladly take more baths.

Yeah ideally with a bath there is a maximum level of filthy that you can already be before it turns into a Gummo situation. Shower first for cleanliness, then bath for relaxing, then hell, shower again

Was eyeballing Gundam Versus and then realised it is just rife with DLC for all the cool suits. So imma wait for a GOTY edition that includes everything later on.

There probably isn't gonna be a goty edition short of a new revision in a year or two, since they'll probably be working to keep semi parity with Extreme Versus 2 which is hitting arcades soon to replace Maxi Boost which nobody really liked.

the reason for the bath in UD is because the developers worked really hard to cram every single horror movie cliche that exists into the game

I just looked this up

:laffo: shaking your controller to mimic drying off with a towel. Holy crap this game is fully up it's own arse isn't it?

If you assume the player holds the controller in the same spot usually, slightly in front of them while seated, then I wonder if you could use the controller's sensors to move the controller around your body and have towel move to same spots on the character's body.

Basically what I'm getting at is I'd like for there to be awkward moments when the player is rubbing the controller in their armpit and then someone walks into the room seeing them doing that.

If I were getting into someone else's bath I guess it'd be gross but since the filth in the bath was already on my own body anyway it's no biggie.

This assumes the tub was clean in the first place.

I use to hate Emily, but Ashley is actually the worst one of the group. LIke goddamn (spoilers obviously)

The one thing I like about this game is how certain actions you take can gently caress you in the long run. I mean loving hell she lets CHRIS die, and loving straight up lies when asked what happen to him. Or how she almost gets Emily killed, encouraging the player to shoot her cuz her being bitten by the Wendigo.

Emily slapping Ashley was one of the highlights of the game and the playthroughs that didn't go there are all the poorer for it

VERY mild devil's advocate, but that's not quite as skeevy as you think it is. Objects and characters in videogames tend to get rendered well beyond what's actually seen so developers can play with angles and different animations from one prebuilt model.

The rendered nipples, however, are completely unnecessary and totally creepy.

Devils advocate on your devils advocate - they almost certainly did not custom model the rest of her body. They will have bought something, attached the head to it then optimized the whole thing. More work to remove the nipple in that case.
It's also worth noting that for artists who work on bodies and anatomy, 'a nipple' is not a particularly titillating thing. This was an oversight at best as nobody expected the data to be mined and presented in the way it was.

For example here is a storefront that sells 3d scans of people - (NWS if you dont work at a 3d studio) http://www.3dscanstore.com/index.php?route=product/category&path=70_127

That storefront is selling models captured by ten24 - (very work safe, some of you might find it interesting) http://ten24.info/work/
They do the scanning and capture for a lot of games and movies. Having them scan actors heads and pairing them with generic bodies for the artists to mash together is how it is done.
Because ten24 fronts the cost of scanning the generic bodies, they own them - and thats how they ended up selling them on the side through that store. The only reason every modern 3d model doesn't have nipples is because they delete the body geometry once the clothes have been draped over them. In that particular scene, no clothes to drape over and need the skin color for the frosted glass.
Ten24/3dscan store is not the only one - it is one of at least 5 scan/storefronts, but it might be the biggest.

The idea that David Cage had anything to do with this that gets thrown around - that his creepy nature is in any way related to an artist not thinking to go out of their way to remove a nipple is loving ludicrous. Oversight at best - and thanks to what happened, one that no studio will make again.

It is creepy & unnecessary that he puts a shower scene in every game - but the model being nude is not inherently unnecessary as pretty much every game character starts like that before clothes go on them.

(Beyond: Two Souls and Rayman Legends are the PS+ games)

I dunno how Beyond: Two Souls fared, but I appreciate the subtle Detroit Become Human promotion going on there and will enjoy it. I liked Heavy Rain (even though I liked this hilarious endgame spoilery part of it more than, well, the rest of the game probably.)

Rayman Legends, though? Best platformer ever made not exclusive to a Nintendo console, and it stands up really strong even to those. For anyone who hasn't already bought it like five times on various consoles, definitely don't sleep on it.

I'd just get Yakuza 0 -- it's a prequel to all of the other games, and Kiwami goes on sale often enough. Yakuza 0 may be all the Yakuza you need! Or, you'll fall in love with the style of game and dump a few hundred hours into it, by which point, Kiwami will be on sale again. Kiwami is a good second game to get, though, since it's a remaster of the first Yakuza game (although the events of Yakuza 0 still take place before Kiwami.)

but Rayman Origins is the better platformer overall, and people should play the actual Origins game release because the levels they included from it in Legends are less cool and good.

4 - Default settings on the router (I mean, firewalls are pretty complex, I don't really want to be messing with this beyond the defaults).

The only solution I have is rebooting. This seems to be an incredibly common issue on Google and I don't really expect it to be solved at this point. I asked here a year ago and the problem remains.

Ethernet or wifi? Or does it do the same on both? When the PS4 is on DHCP, is it getting an address? Proper subnet mask and gateway? DNS? If not, is the router seeing's it's MAC in the ARP table?

That's why you need to get that sumo slap and tiger drop as soon as possible.

Kiwami could have benefited from a Okami-esque "if you cap out exp you just get a fuckton of money" system. It's not like you need money but it would have been a nice way for numbers to keep coming up.

All I wanted was the ability to spend hundreds or thousands of XP to spawn specific versions of Majima. I maxed out all of the skill trees, and the XP counter, way before the point of no return for the endgame, when I spent quite a while going in and out of stores to wait for specific Majimas to pop.

I think it's the same generic nude model they used in Heavy Rain tbh. It's not like they scanned Ellen Page's naked body and lovingly rendered it (though I fully understand her being upset about the situation, I doubt she knows much about how making vidya works and how there's often more rendered than what we see) so it's less them being skeevy on purpose and more 'oh the assets we recycled already has nipples on it, w/e'.

David Cage is already skeevy in a thousand other ways.

e: also baths are awesome and the correct order is bath first - > shower to rinse off or wash hair if it's hair washing day!!

If your bath water is real nasty you probably should have rinsed off first, idk. I'm usually not exceptionally dirty when I have a bath, they're for relaxing and not cleaning!
