Tonight I get to move onto chapter 7 (I think). As I do not live with Lady VG and she is just as caught up in the Yakuza 0 story as I, I have been making sure not to advance the plot but still wishing to play it. As such I have taken over the Leisure King district with all S ranked properties and am now working on the gambling king properties. :D

What is the easiest way to find new managers, security and investors? I have quite a few but am missing 50% still. Also I cannot wait to go back a couple of hundred pages and view the posts of those playing it and read the spoilers I avoided :D

Hey so quick question: how do Cities Skylines and Darkest Dungeon fare on PS4 Pro? I'm not able to really PC game at the moment and I've been thinking of picking them up on the Christmas sale but I figured I'd ask around first.

I have a launch PS4 and Cities Skylines runs great on it, they've also been really good at supporting it and have even upgraded the version of Unity it runs on so probably runs even better now.

I play on easy and use beast mode exclusively for Kiryu and weapon mode for Majima :D Also I just won 300 million yen back of mr shakedown after accidentally bumping into him yet again on my way to buy a high torque 2 motor :D This was my first win against him!

Woodshed the dodging imo. It’s really, really strong when you get a feel for it. I leaned on it for 90% of the fights in the game and barely blocked.

Hold onto the Encounter Tracker once you get one. It'll show exactly where in the city Mr Shakedown currently is on your map if you equip it.

You can also completely break fighting Mr Shakedown over your knee if you get ahold of a Zapgun and unload it into him :blastu:.

BisterdDave posted:

Mounts in Oblivion and Skyrim are pointless in my opinion, never touched them either.

As far as I could tell, there are precisely two uses for a horse in Skyrim. None more.

The first is that horses are better at going up inclines than the character, so rather than stubbornly spending several minutes jumping up the side of the mountain in your way, or sensibly walking around and finding a path, you can convince the horse to walk up like 60-degree terrain quicker than jumping up each edge. Of course this requires you to actually have your horse near you, and if you're clambering up over mountains, you probably didn't think about where you were going when you set out, and you probably didn't think you'd need a horse because when do you ever need a horse?

The second is that when you're over-encumbered, you can't fast travel. But horses allow you to fast travel regardless. So when you get the Hearthfire DLC, build a house in the middle of a swamp, and then have to move all your collected poo poo from your house in Whiterun, you can either do several trips and load yourself up over and over again with all your collected unique items and crafting resources. Or you can put the entire contents of your house in your pocket, slowly and painfully crawl along with 7,000 weight of garbage you don't need, get out of the Whiterun gates, creep down to the stable, and then get on your horse and fast travel to your new house to dump all the stuff you weren't going to be using anyway.

If you're doing either of these things, you're probably making a bad decision somewhere regardless of whether you have a horse on hand.

Ok. Wow, the Pro supports 4K? That's awesome since I just bought 4K monitor a few months ago. Also turns out I already have the Razer Ultimate 7.1 Headset for PS4, which I bought originally for PC gaming.

Subconsciously I must have been preparing to buy the PS4 Pro all along :krakentoot:

Wow, I could play Doom VFR. Is it worth it? I completed Doom 2016 on Nightmare. Does the PS4 VR headset work OK with glasses?

PS4 VR headset does work OK with glasses, yes. There's a button on the bottom of the "visor" that lets you push it forward or backwards and allows you to fit glasses in that way.

As for 4K, yes it outputs in 2160p, as well as in HDR. The internal resolution will often be below that, where games will use checkerboarding and similar algorithms to generate a 2160p image. Usually their "native" res will be above 1080p, though, with 1440p-1620p being common. Some games do hit native 4K, though, especially sports titles and games with simpler graphics.

Got my repaired PS4 Pro yesterday (actually technically Monday but since no one was home I had to go pick it up). So exactly 1 week turnaround, which is especially impressive since it appears I got the exact same console back (so they serviced it in like 2 days), they just got all up in dem guts and did something because there's new security tape, this time without illegal warranty void text. I'm assuming it was factory restored with the stock drive I'd put back in, so I unfortunately had to do a full format of the 2tb drive when I put it back in, but them's the breaks. Almost done redownloading everything so it's all good.

Maybe someone could actually respond to the points myself and the other poster made about how leaving Agro to its own devices usually just leads to him running into boulders and poo poo, instead of throwing out insults because someone dared to say a single negative thing about a game they like. I dunno, just a thought.

The correct answer is they are both great games with very glaring flaws but you can't say that in 2018 because they are untouchable masterpieces dont you see?

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.

Wait until No Man's Sky goes on sale again, it's like the ultimate chill out and listen to music/podcasts game.

As someone who enjoyed BOTW, there's not enough variety in the discoveries you find (almost everything is a korok seed or a shrine), and the combat is just not engaging to me at all, so exploring eventually just felt kinda boring and rote and forced me to engage with systems I felt were actively unfun. I never finished it.

When I do maybe I'll use something besides the long sword or the bow guns this time, but probably not, because Rules of Naturing my way through the game while occasionally pulling a 50 cal or shotgun out is hilarious.
