It’s weird and I feel like there’s a conspiracy going on with multiple versions of RDR2 out in the wild. Yup, it's a decent reminder of what's subjective. Personally I like it being slow and deliberate, and aside from a few things I've never had my gameplay experience that negatively impacted by them. I wouldn't enjoy it one bit if it were controlled like the typical 3rd person game where your character flies around on tractionless shoes going 100 mph at all times. I would take one RDR2 over a hundred Dynasty Warrior games and unfortunately that's also the approximate ratio the respective games are published at.

Samurai Sanders posted:If Iron Rain is like the previous spinoff game, the only thing you will be preparing for is for how much worse it is than EDF5.  But there is reason for hope that Iron Rain will turn out better than Armageddon: in this recent Polygon interview the producer Nobuyuki Okajima was asked point blank if Iron Rain would have the same issues as the last side-project, and he answered they hope to have more positives than negatives from the previous side-project title: https://www.polygon.com/interviews/2018/12/11/18135184/earth-defense-force-5-iron-rain-interview quote:Iron Rain isn’t the first attempt at a Western Earth Defense Force game. In 2011, D3 and Vicious Cycle Software released Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon. It received mixed reviews, especially from fans of the series. Were any lessons learned from that game that have helped with Iron Rain?

The interactions with the world are just as important to the story as any other part.

This reminds me of the Killzone 2 debate all over again. It was telling that Killzone 3 didn't have those controls so much that the developer argument that it was meant to feel "weighty" sounded like bullshit. I remember Rise of the Tomb Raider on PS4 had the same problem until they patched it out. In any case, for me, RDR2 is a good game in spite of the controls, not because of them.

Probably because the comparison was already made by two other posters on this very page??? If it's okay with you I could also compare it to HZD which has functional controls and also the same sort of breezy lack of weight that makes you feel like you're flying about on a flat smooth surface at all times instead of actually inhabiting and traversing a world with carefully crafted terrain.

The multiplayer was really good if not a bit chokepointy at times. Shadow Fall would have been neat if all of the levels were mainly about you sneaking into Helghast facilities, but at a certain point in the game, the tone changes to a standard war shooter.

What's the best game that you guys would recommend for around $20? I have credit in my wallet that is burning a hole. I was going to get shadow of the tomb raider but it looks like it's off sale now. Celeste? I really wanted it on switch but not sure if the portability is worth. I'm open to anything cause I enjoy almost any genre of game except strategy civ type games.

nnnotime posted:I tried a Vive demo at Microcenter one time and was dismayed by the fact I could not see details well with my terrible vision (-5.25 and -7.25). I don't recall if I was wearing my glasses with the headset or not. A quick try in a store probably isn't gonna sell you on a Vive if you have vision issues, but don't write one off altogether. You can get prescription lenses for them, plus even without those (if you use your glasses) you probably needed to adjust the inter-pupilary distance as well as the actual display distance from your eyes.

THE AWESOME GHOST posted:Which games have the most obvious Pro improvements ? Of the games I've played MHW needs the Pro just to not look sucky, TLOU remastered sees a huge improvement to its 60fps mode, SotC adds a beautiful 60fps performance setting that is imho the best way to experience that game. The supersampling and sharper textures you get for Horizon and God of War are  but those games run fine just on base hardware. And somehow Bloodborne performs even worse in Boost Mode.

Yeah I just got a pro and tried Spider-Man and was like... ok this is nicer but it’s not buy a new console nicer The 60fps god of war was an insane boost. I’ve seen SOTC pro vs base and agreed it’s like 2 different games. I personally couldn’t play MHW during the beta on base PS4 because of frame rate and bought it on pc but I’ll try the free demo they’re apparently doing to see if it’s much better on pro
