Combat is one of the possible specialty paths so yeah, it sucks until you spend some skill points. It'll still suck if you choose to specialize in non-combat, but then you have options other than personally firing guns at the enemies to accomplish your objectives.

Kilometers Davis posted:I’m wondering about this too. I loved the weird as gently caress plot, environments and the monster design in the first but the gameplay was 100% the opposite of everything I like in a game. The action is very similar to The Evil Within 1, however the pacing is totally changed for the better overall. Basically it's a semi-open world game, and while it still has a lot of sudden holy poo poo moments of enemies popping out at you, it's much less oppressive than Evil Within 1 where you'd turn a corner and suddenly have tons of durable foes in your face killing you in like two seconds. There's a lot of hiding behind cover and observing groups of enemies and planning out how to deal with them with the same set of tools you had in the first game, so get to actually use all your stuff and plan out cool ways to do things. It can still be hard at times but it's impressive that it manages to have those Evil Within 1/old Resident Evil level jump scares and oh poo poo I'm trapped now feelings going on in it despite a lot of the game being in much more open spaces or just being straight up outside more often. Plus it manages to still feel weird and moody despite you knowing why stuff is the way it is from the first game which is impressive. They wisely have some long stretches of time where there's almost no enemies and you're just seeing unusual stuff/figuring poo poo out. tldr: They kept the core of how Evil Within 1 works intact while better balancing a lot of the stuff that made it bad.

The Evil Within 1 is one of my favorite horror shooters and imo its faults are overstated. But I guess the game just clicks for me. I havent played TEW2 because it looks kinda... bad? Plus I liked that TEW was a pretty linear experience I should just get on with it and get it anyway

The only thing that Evil Within 2 shares with Evil Within 1 is the third person perspective and some of the crafting. Everything else feels different. It keeps some of the wacky stuff - like I'll spoil something that's revealed in the first 5 minutes - the entire thing takes place in a collective hallucination stored on a computer and managed by a psychic host. So they have license to just gently caress around and be weird and create tension, and after a 30 minute setpiece they pretty much do just that. In a pretty open world. Which really impressed me. I liked Evil Within 1 a lot. I loved Evil Within 2.

Evil Within 2 gives up some of the quirky and interesting stuff from the first, but it plays so much better. The open world stuff is pretty well done, sneaking through environments is tense and side challenges are interesting, and there are plenty of linear sections to keep things varied. The original is for people who are willing to put up with a lot of bullshit to get a unique horror game, but I'd recommend 2 to anyone.

Evil Within 2 owns, there are a few things in the first one that I do like more (I love Evil Within 1 also  ) and honestly I think I'd go as far as to say I like Evil Within 1 more overall, but definitely give 2 a shot. If you're not sure with how often it's on sale I'm sure it will be super cheap at some end of the year sale or whatever. They make great companion games to each other.

Any opinions on STEEP? Ssx3 is my favorite game of all time, and I liked SSX 2012(?) A lot. I heard steep was not well reviewed when it came out, but that the general opinion has changed over time due to patches + added content. Thoughts?

Absolver is fun like heck. Customizing my fighting still is great and now I want another God Hand. Finding the 'marked' enemies is a pain but I've spent most of my time dueling other players. Try it if you have PS+!

I just logged into my PSN account from my PC - which I've done numerous times over many years - and for the first time I'm getting a prompt to update my account info. Name, residential address etc. My first name has two names in it, and this is also how it's written on my credit card. However, I'm getting an error message saying that there can't be a space in the first name column and it won't let me log in unless I change it. I've had this account, with the same name registered, since more or less the launch of PSN. And with all the problems reported about payment options suddenly not working I'm really hesitant to change anything. No problems logging in on the console, btw. Browser only. Have any of you experienced this?

There are intricate, customized combos, timed hits, stance switching on the fly, feints, defense, guard, evade, abilities... Feel like a Fighting Game in the amount of stuff you're supposed to learn, but applied on a Brawler game.

Safeword posted:Wish I knew what I was doing in PvP. Its just been a constant parade of my character never seeming to do what I want, as I get whittled down by the same rapid fire punches. It's important to know which stances the various attacks will put you in. This will decide which combos you can create. My favorite combo is a combo that does two quick attacks (square x 2) and then a large leg sweep (triangle) that dodges middle and high attacks, and then goes back to the original stance. I also have a combo that resets my stance after two square attacks which means I can just press square and do the same two punches infinitely, which has worked great as pressure against enemies who wants to be in my face. It's really important to have a good mix of quick attacks which can cancel enemy attacks, and powerful ones that can avoid high attacks. Abuse the right stick dodge. If you time it correctly it will leave enemies wide open. Don't button mash. If you time your combos correctly the character will flash and you recover stamina. Samuringa posted:I played 30 minutes or so and thought it expected too much from me. There are intricate, customized combos, timed hits, stance switching on the fly, feints, defense, guard, evade, abilities... I played for about two hours and loved it. The game is basically God Hand x Demon's Souls, but with a coop system that doesn't suck, so team up with a player or two and none of the normal enemies will pose a problem. Mess around with the training mode and I'm sure the game will click. Renoistic fucked around with this message at 21:32 on Jul 3, 2018 |

Yeah, it's being thrown in the deep end that annoyed me a bit - as well as the lack of "go back to default combos". Kinda face rolled my way through the campaign, so this vertical difficulty drop threw me off.

A more thorough tutorial might have done the game good, but I've personally waited for a decent character action game for ages (don't have a Wii U / switch so no Bayonetta 2) and Absolver was just what I needed. I love figuring out systems like these. But the game is a lot nicer to new players than God Hand haha The PVP is definitely structured like a fighting game, complete with rounds and rematches. You get some XP even if you loose a match, without ever loosing progress, so it's not bad at all IMHO. Edit: The framerate can get really bad while exploring which is unfortunate, though.

So awesome that Red Faction: Guerrilla Remastered just came out; I hadn't even known they were working on it. Yet another one of my favorite games is now on PS4.  The physics system in that game is so great and destroying buildings and bridges is way more fun than it should be. So many options. Take a sledgehammer through it inch by inch. Or blow it up with demolition charges or rockets. Or knock it down with a construction mech. Or blow holes through it within a disintegration gun. You can ram a hole through a wall with a vehicle. There are so many inventive ways to complete missions with those tools. Do you rescue your guys from prison by painstakingly going through the building and killing all the guards or do you just ram a hole through their cell then honk your horn for them to jump in then tear rear end out of there? So, so good.

acksplode, enjoy Edith Finch! it’s so loving great. anyone who hasn’t played it already should get it on this sale. Nier update I did the DLC and the final story was absolutely incredible. It was getting me emotional but funnily enough I didn’t come close to crying until I reopened the game and read the email. poor Plato  Wish you’d gotten to see his freakout/how he went from being so awful to being able to gently caress everyone up, but I assume that’s a budget thing.

My all time favorite RFG moment was seeing a hostage location on the map driving over to it by way of mountain taking a huge jump off the mountain and slamming my truck through the building collapsing 2/3s of it killing 2 hostages and all the bad dudes in the process. That game owned and I had no idea there was a remaster.
