Dialogue-heavy games are a real challenge to get flowing quickly for the same reason that they're such a monumental undertaking all together. That's a lot of lines to record and manage and load and play and then to tweak the way the game times the delivery. Sometimes you basically have to I'll make you eat those words! start the next line before the next is finished, but that also doesn't work right with a text-skipping system that handles text in manageable blocks.

Wolfsheim posted:I am considering getting Doom Aeterneal in the sale since I loved the first but I know this one was a bit more..mixed? Also cutscenes seem like a bad choice. It's on Game Pass for PC, if you just want to try it/plough through it. You could buy a month for half the price of Doom on the Steam store, or probably get a deal for 3 months for the same. Plus you'd get access to everything else.

I'm watching Outside Xtra's xmas challanges with Miles Morales, and does the game take place entirely in the winter? That's really cool. Heh, Spider-Cat.

Kentucky Route Zero is the same price on PS4 and Switch and doesn't seem especially demanding on performance, so I should probably get it on switch for the option to play it portably right?

It's a chill game that's hard to lose/get stuck on. Personally it was probably a 6.5/10 for me, but played it at the end of an extremely rough day to unwind and it was exactly what I needed.

doom eternal is perfection. the perfect fps. play it on the lowest difficulty until you get the hang of the new poo poo. treat the difficulty modes like a character action game cos thats what it is, do not start up a UV first time playthrough because thats how you beat doom 1 in your sleep now. lowest difficulty plays more like doom 2016, take it from there if you want more challenge.

Vikar Jerome posted:the controls for the console versions let you move the characters with the sticks and im half tempted to pick them up just for that. Ah cheers. I wasn't sure what was included with NWN but it sounds like it has enough content to possibly justify the steep-ish price. Not having a large party it seems to make sense to me to play on a controller, but I'll look into the pc/mac versions and see if my increasingly obsolete computers can run them.

Obvs ps4 fan noise is a common complaint to to be perfectly honest I never felt it was much of an issue personally......until I started playing ghost if tsushima. The fan is constantly on full blast it seems. :/

Well, Tsushima is pretty much the most graphically demanding (and prettiest) PS4 game ever made.

My launch ps4 was so loud it drowned out the sound of the game I was playing so I used my stupid blower thing that's like a can of compressed air on steroids on it and now it doesn't make a single peep and I'm pretty sure it's going to catch on fire and burn my entertainment system down.

I still don’t understand why some games run the fan full blast when they’re running in the background, even if they don’t when the game is actually playing. What are they doing back there?

Cardiovorax posted:That is actually a common problem even with certain PC games. I couldn't tell you the specifics, but it has something to do with how the game runs through certain loops that are normally limited by what is actually going on in the game and become unlimited by the unusual state of not actually being the active task and on-screen. It's a bit like how menus in games can make them suddenly try to start running at 1000+ FPS and melt down your graphics card.

It seems like the sort of thing that’s straightforward to fix if you address it at the very early stage and almost impossible to do anything about if you’re more than halfway through development when you notice it.

anyone have an issue with the ps4 gold headset where the mic works but no audio? I think I had this once before, and I went through the whole process of resetting it through the app, and then doing the thing with the dongle where you put the pin in the side, then hold mute+VSS and turn the headset on while doing so. However this time the headset still displays a red light instead of blue - do I have to fully charge it first? Also I tried just plugging the headset into my computer, and I couldn't hear any audio - does this mean the issue is prob with the headset audio drivers themselves, or perhaps the cable connecting it? actionjackson fucked around with this message at 01:22 on Dec 27, 2020 |

I know it’s not much help but that same thing randomly happened with my platinums and as far as I can tell  Like, they would turn on, connect, everything looked like it was in working order, mic worked, but no audio would come out of them unless I hard wired the headphones with a cord. I tried every fix under the sun and absolutely nothing got them working again. So, good luck and if you figure it out please let me know what you did, because mine are still sitting in a drawer.

I've always used them connected to my controller - never wirelessly just because i never felt the need to. I would assume that once I plugged them in to my computer or phone, I'd be able to hear audio, but I don't...

It's a series of scenes where you have to do exactly what the game wants in a very specific order, but it's also made extremely obvious. The dialogue and story have no charm or interest to it. It's genuinely like it was made for 5 year olds, but reviews and the trailer do not highlight that and made it look/sound like a take on katamari. cubicle gangster fucked around with this message at 03:11 on Dec 27, 2020 |

I got Donut County because I love raccoons and want more raccoon-based games (I really want Tanuki Sunset) but it was so short and mindless. It's like a quirky Western indie take on Katamari with no actual thought involved.
