King of Solomon posted:Yeah, I played Deadly Premonition. It's a great game, but the gameplay is horrendous. It’s a loving amazing game. I knew it was special when the protagonist and I were having a real loving conversation while driving. Me as the player conversing with the game character. Holy poo poo. I wish I could experience it again for the first time. (I still use Life is Beautiful as an alarm.  )

I loved playing Deadly Premonition. I own like 4 copies of it (US 360, Asian English PS3, US PS3, PC) and have played through all of them 100% (except for PC which never boots for some reason?) I'm sad that SWERY really hasn't been able to capture that kind of weird magic consistently since then. D4 is dead, that Deadly Premonition 2 tease at the end of Director's Cut will probably never amount to anything, and I'm just not that excited for The Good Life.

Let's plays are great when you're a poor teenager without a job or allowance interested in games on systems you'll probably never get. I had a GameCube and a DS growing up but Sly Cooper and ratchet and Clank still looked cool so I took a look at those using lets play. I don't get how you guys have zero time to possibly devote to possibly watch any footage of a game like that. Like just, instead of watching a movie or an episode of Game of Thrones or something you put on Weedlord Bonerhitler doing a Deprived no bonfire run of Dark Souls or whatever.

As someone who's been Xbox-only since the 360 came out and just purchased a PS4 a few months ago to play God of War and HZD, yeah it's been pretty incredible. And as a side effect I now know the glory of Yakuza.

Fifteen of Many posted:Anything is cool - I haven’t bought a game since like 2015 a) to focus on clearing my steam library and b) because my pc is getting up there and has trouble with some of the last few years worth of games. Interested in anything people enjoy! Imo start with Horizon Zero Dawn or God of War if you are used to playing old games. There are a ton of other good PS4 games but those ones are the two that are the most impressive to look at on the system you just bought by a mile, and they both happen to also be really good games.

^^^^ agreed with veni. Horizon and God of War are totally essential. also the game I’m about to talk about: I did endings C/D/E of NieR: Automata (not helped the weak yet though cos I wanna do more stuff first) and I would like to request people reply to this with their favourite articles or posts about the game and story. I really need to devour every single piece of writing I can on this please and thank you Longer post coming later when it’s not 6 in the goddamn morning

Check out VG's big post when he finished NieR a while ago and all the responses to it. It's good. My favourite fun fact - the lyrics to the songs are nonsense and not in any real language. NieR owns. And pretty much any article on the music is worthwhile. Also, plus: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhDL3Q86ofY el oso fucked around with this message at 06:22 on Jul 5, 2018 |

When I was a teenager we did not have LPs and there was no youtube yet. Honestly, I had few games and I spent a lot of time doing other things like go outside and poo poo. You don't habe to know every single game out there, it doesn't make for good conversation in RL anyway. In fact, as somebody pointed out, opinions about a game based on a LP don't really count beyond I'll buy this/seems not for me. There are 2 reason to watch small parts of a LP in my opinion: If you are stuck in a game or if you want to know if it is worth buying and there is no demo. Otherwise you are just wasting time you could use to play (other) games yourself. And watching because of the personality of the streamer is also weird to me, I'd rather use the time to hang out with friends than watch some rando on youtube.

It's a pure love/hate game.

Before I bought PS4 Pro in like March I've never owned a Playstation (or any other) console. I played here and there with my cousins who were always Playstation fan boys so I got to enjoy the likes of the first Silent Hill in a completely dark room after my parents already went to sleep. Yeah, I'll never forget the school level. Since then I went through a decent amount of games and after looking hard at the state of my Steam account I swore to only ever play one game at a time and finish it (as long as I enjoy it, of course). It served me well, got through Yakuza 0/Kiwami, Nier: Automata, all the mainline Uncharteds, Shadow of the Colossus. There are still a few games that I had to put in the "play a bit in between other games" category because they just take so long or I only ever enjoy them in small amounts, e.g. Bloodborne, GT Sport, Monster Hunter World, Wipeout Omega Collection. I am absolutely stoked about Kiwami 2, Spider-Man, God of War, and I'll probably play Detroit at some point. The future is looking bright with Sekiro, The Last of Us 2 and Ghosts of Tsushima. Hell, I'll probably buy and play Death Stranding, too, because if nothing else it will be a unique experience. Which reminds me I've never played Metal Gear Solid game before, not including like an hour of Revengeance. PS4 is good, you guys. fake edit: I also probably won't buy anything in the current sale either, unless it's Celeste because it doesn't have a physical version. I gotta keep my backlog on a tight leash! lordfrikk fucked around with this message at 07:45 on Jul 5, 2018 |

Play the series in release order with maybe the MSX games thrown in. The Metal Gear series is interesting in that each game in the 3D series is incredibly distinct in terms of atmosphere, story, and gameplay but they all tend to share themes. And I could credibly make an argument for each entry being the best in the series for different reasons. For me they're second only to Mario games for reminding me why I play games in the first place.

Escobarbarian posted:Longer post coming later when it’s not 6 in the goddamn morning Now I am the one eagerly waiting!!  I get so excited and tense when I see people love Nier now. I also assume this is the similar reaction people have when they watch LPs. Watching someone decent or bad do a favoured hobby is something most people do. (Loving football so watch the world cup and see people top of their game, or go to YouTube to watch terrible players doing awfully). Loving video games and watching someone play a game is identical, to me, to that. It is a different experience of a game, but you are still involved. Occasionally, if live, you can even assist or be a part of that LP thanks to the interactions.

Rayman Legends is a lot more fun than I thought based on my experiences with 2-D Rayman games from back in the day. It's also the first computer video game ever where I've encountered good (or even decent) localization. e: Although I don't really understand why they'd localize it at all I mean it's not as if an actual child is ever going to play it

I've easily filled the 1TB drive on my Pro already after like 2 months so if anyone has a good recommendation for a 2TB or more drive, let me know! I've been burnt lots of times in the past with hard drives so I'm very wary these days.
