The new music is really the worst thing about the Director's Cut version of RE1.

This is actually the Dual Shock version of the Director’s Cut, which I think got switched back for the PSN release because... yeah. :gonk:

The worst thing about the original Director’s Cut release is they hosed up the build and didn’t actually include the cinematics they cut out, making the whole exercise a little pointless. :v:

Does anyone have an issue with their old original DS4 where having a USB cable plugged into it and setting it on the table causes the weight of the controller to be placed on the plug? I feel like it's happening enough time over the years that now my controller disconnects due to the leverage pressing in the socket at the wrong spot.

I wanted to know if the new DS4 fixes this problem? Most people's answer seems to be "use the USB cable that came with your PS4", and I admit I never unpacked it because I wanted to keep all the redundant cables sealed in case I ever resold the thing.

The only answer other than using the cable that came from the system is to prop up the controller. The cable that’s packed in has a much shorter plug on the device end than most micro-USB cables have on them.

I actually liked it because the story is pretty languid. It was more effective when Atreus would pester you to follow the main quest and Kratos would just reply "we are Gods, boy. We do what we please."

I also liked the side quests which were literally Kratos doing the George Bluth Sr man's arm flying off and saying "and that's why you don't talk to strangers ghosts".

I reckon marvel getting hands on with finding developers for some games is great. Not expecting groundbreaking stuff, but if we see some movie quality crowd pleasers (single player 3rd person action games with big budgets like spidey) I'll be happy as heck.
The studio has been insanely quiet on that project which makes me nervous about it’s status. I know there was a tweet from the developer in December that they were working on it, but just today another EA Star Wars game got canned so who knows

When you get right down to it, this is a clear case of American aggression. Some American federal agent (who can't speak Spanish) is sent to Spain and barges into a house with his gun drawn and tells the poor peasant farmer to "freeze" which of course means nothing to the guy who can't speak English.

And it only goes downhill from there as Leon proceeds to depopulate the Spanish countryside.

For as long as I can remember there have been jokes about how RE4 is America gently caress Yeah starring some psychopath just gunning down these poor farmers and nobody makes that joke better than TDI.

The funniest thing is how you really don't have to try especially hard to get that reading from the game. It's great.

Any recommendations on a Bluetooth headset that doesn’t need a chat cable and can pair with anything else?

I currently have Turtle Beach px4s or whatever came out when the ps4 did, but they use the chat cable, which is annoying as hell, and more importantly, can’t pair via Bluetooth with my Apple TV for some loving reason. It pairs with my phone just fine, but refuses to show up in the device list when trying to pair with the ATV.

Basically, I want a pure wireless headset that I can pair normally via Bluetooth to whatever device I want so I can play games and watch movies without waking up my pregnant wife.

Yeah, I still did most of them but I'm not really a fan of having chests contain runic moves.

I think what makes it fine though is that like any given two runic attacks would carry you through even Hard Mode so even if you rush through or just miss like every chest you're still fine. Same with upgrade materials, you get way more than you strictly need. But the biggest factor in whether you win battles is almost always just skill.

Btw Vane is super cool but super loving buggy and I’m not one to complain about that usually, but combined with horrible save points, no way to ‘die’, super large area that you have to solve puzzles in that doesn’t tell you anything, it’s pretty absurd. If they just patched it so it didn’t have so many bugs that soft lock the game essentially, and if you’re dumb like me, that means two hours of work, that would’ve eventually lead to solving the puzzle, and then get stuck between a rock and a wall, or in a pushing animation or something then oh well, you have to start the whole game over. But if it didn’t have those problems I can see it being one of the best games of its kind potentially. It’s a huuuge world that evolves, and I can’t wait to see what it does. The flying feels good, platforming isn’t great but it’s to be expected. Hope the patch the devs promised soon fixes all this.

The PS4 doesn't support Bluetooth audio. There are many reasons but probably mainly they didn't want to compete with their own line of proprietary ones.

If you want to use Bluetooth headsets with the PS4 you'll need some kind of external adapter, and then to have low enough latency for games you'll need headphones that support APTX Low Latency, which are few and far between.

I gave up on that several months ago and use either wired headphones or my Logitech G533.

Oh yeah my Turtles use a USB dongle for the wireless sound. I don’t mind that at all since it’s still wireless. I’m just annoyed having to use a chat cable when I want to voice chat on PS4 and not being able to Bluetooth pair with other devices.

Are there any that uses a dongle for the audio, but no chat cable? Or is that reserved for the Sony ones only?

It looks good but I'd hold my horses on a preorder unless you watch all of the youtubes and are dead certain. I think the game will be great but there is a real chance it's a 7/10 release that will be on sale in April.

Oh, I was wrong about what you needed. Basically all of the modern ones that use a dongle are wireless for both the audio and microphone. Logitech has several including the G533 I have, and also the Turtle Beach Stealth series can do it.

Incidentally both of those work on the Switch too, as well as the PC, which is what they were really designed for.
