I use all 3 profiles and switch them up often though, it's pleasantly easy to do so. Back button owns, I'm aghast it isn't built into the ds5.

what's the word on PSVR and the PS5? Pretty sure my headset is ok, but the hardware piece with the HDMI connections is busted. Not sure I can buy them separately? It's also the first gen one. Considering one used, but might just wait if there's a reason to. FWIW I do have a PS4 camera already

For the guy wondering about DLC, the easiest way to do it is to install the game then hit down when you’re on the game icon and there’s a tab that shows all the available DLC for it and you just go to that page and install each one piecemeal.

That's the main drawback (  ), needing to toggle both L2 and R2 to fire the bow. I didn't have Concentration at the time but I imagine it also means toggling R3 as well.

I had the Ultimate edition of AC Origins in my cart for $19.99 and I went to buy it today and it was back to $99. I'm bummed I didn't grab it when it was cheap. I figured it was part of the summer sale and would be on sale for a bit. Does it normally get discounted like that?

I’m really getting into H:ZD. At first I was kinda put off by the sort of generic story beats and the crafting stuff but I’m almost to Meridian and just having a blast traversing the map. The world is gorgeous and varied, I was blown away when coming down the mountain and entering the desert, I had no idea there were different biomes in this game beyond mountain and foothills. I’m also getting a feel for combat and using all the different tools, which I feel like I’ve only scratched the surface of how to use them. I’m already level 20, which feels wrong since the main quest is level 12 but whatever, I’ve been having fun with the side stuff.

I liked Shenmue 3! Expectations were pretty low going in though, especially after playing through the first two beforehand and realising they didn't age well.

And this one doesn't even have one. Neo Rasa posted:I still can't believe they had the hubris to do this after how Shenmue II ends and how long it took for a Shenmue III to happen It's MUCH worse than that. Click the link in this post. It just doesn't end in a cliffhanger, literally nothing happens. It's a giant filler episode.

Uh yeah that is crazy hosed up. I'm glad I skipped this one despite actually being a huge Shenmue (2 especially) die hard. Shenmue 2 has you do a lot of errands and chores and searching for stuff but, and it's cool that the person notices this missing in what he shows of Shenmue III, 2's stuff did a great job all being thematically connected to building up Ryo and the personalities of the people around him in some way. Like even when you're just dusting the temple everything feels like Ryo is maturing as a person on some level and learning more about the world. Shenmue 2 has secret techniques you can learn and stuff too but stuff is introduced in cool ways that build him (and the folks that show him stuff) up as characters. Like Shenmue 1 was it's cool own thing but I was actively hoping for the folks he meets in Shenmue 2 to all be back in some way besides Ren because he really does like get to know and make friends and allies and enemies throughout Hong Kong in that game. I'll still play 3 eventually I was holding off til it was very very cheap because I'd heard so many bad things about it, but it's frustrating to see the narrative is going to be so lacking since I cared about stuff like that a lot more than the combat.

I really didn't mind the lack of story progression in Shenmue 3 but the two halves of the game having the exact same story arc felt insanely lazy. I still enjoyed my time in its world but I got very sick of winning fights that I would then immediately lose in the cutscene that followed.

lordfrikk posted:Ghost of Tsushima is too long. I'm not sure how much left but I'd say they should've cut the top part completely and maybe half of the second. Maybe even the second completely. So far the north is really boring. I more or less agree. I did everything but the last 8-14 hours were kind of a drag. Pretty much all open world games that have come out lately would be better served if they were smaller and had less to do.

As someone that played shenmue 1 and 2 a year ago on my ps4 and thinking this isn't so bad, shenmue 3 sounds like a giant disappointment. I can't imagine what it's like after 19 years but probably most of those fans have given up to despair and just appreciate it happened at all. I'll probably get it when it drops down to like ten bucks just to experience it myself.
