Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


The most annoying attacks in SOR4 (divekick ladies, ninjas, fat dudes) are all on a linear path. Jumping generally doesn't work unless you air special through them. Moving a little bit up or down is usually enough for them to whiff, otherwise your defensive specials provide a ton of i-frames. Reluctance to use specials is the #1 Noob Killer.

I use the specials pretty frequently but maybe not enough. It's just the feeling of wading through molasses that finally got to me. Cherry seems like the only one with a move speed that doesn't drive me nuts but it's super easy to go off the rails with her.

I was starting to wonder if I was just over retro brawlers all together, but I was messing around on some others afterwards and they are just so much more mobile than SOR4. It's fine it's just not my thing I guess. I like to be able to move faster than a snail in games.

FF7intergrade Reborn is it for Episode 1, no DLC, working on Episode 2 has... begun to ramp up?

worldmap taking advantage of the ps5 ssd with no compromises :eyepop:

think this one will go to the northern crater at that moment for the cliffhanger? and then finish it off with a part 3? then part 4 will be advent children and part 5 will be red xiii racing based on diddy kong racing for the n64, where red xiii and other characters race around the forests of midgar? makes sense even if it is the new KH.

My thinking would be to take it as far as Rocket Town for Part 2, as it's the next place the map scales up from the continent to the entire planet. Assuming they actually even have a world map, of course.

Yeah I’m honestly surprised I remembered to hit record, lol, I was legit shaking at the end. I go down to like <5 health at one point with Chikage equipped (a sword that constantly deals u damage) and the poison knives don’t seem like they’re doing anything but the truth is I wouldn’t have done it without their chip damage.

PS5 is a contagious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The first case was identified in Wuhan, China, in December 2019.[7] The disease has since spread worldwide, leading to an ongoing pandemic.

Does anyone know if there's a way to format a USB stick to play video files directly from the PS4 itself? I have one formatted as FAT32 but I want to use eXFAT for bigget file sizes. If I try to format the stick from my Mac on Disk Utility, it won't read. Or if anyone knows the settings for Disk Utility on Mac, ty in advance.

Depends on the FW but I think it's fairly doable. I'm afraid to CFW mine cos it's still linked to my PSN.

I mean, if you're a successful actress and you go out of the house in a skirt and without underwear, knowing that paparazzi are just waiting for opportunities like this and that it has happened many times before, then there's really nobody you can blame for it but yourself.

You sure your stick isn't broken? Flash storage can break on a per-sector basis in a way that hard drives don't. It's not usual for cheap old USB sticks to reject reformatting because something just doesn't work correctly anymore. Try it with a different one, because that shouldn't be causing you any issues otherwise.

poo poo sorry, I meant to say if I reformat it as eXFAT on my mac, the PS4 won't read it. It'll read fine in any of my computers so I think I'm just formatting it incorrectly.

It's just NTFS as that's a proprietary MS file system, exFAT works fine and is necessary sine FAT32 officially can't be used on anything over uh 30GB? Something like that, you can use it for larger sizes but you need an unofficial formatting tool.

Quantum of Phallus

FAT32 files can't go over 4GB lol

I have Plex and all that set up but sometimes it's handier just to throw a file on the stick and play it from that if I'm not arsed putting it on my server.

If it formats and reads fine, there might still be some sort of incompatibility between your PS4 and the stick, because that should work just fine. exFAT is something the PS4 can read natively, so if the stick works correctly, it shouldn't be having any problems doing so. I'd really recommend trying another one.

Remnant down. It stayed "pretty fun" all the way up to the end. Although from the perspective of "is this a good RPG" it's not really a point in its favor that when I killed the end boss I was still using the first armor set and first gun I got with my new character (heavily upgraded)

The mechanic of the end boss is also pretty much entirely opaque and you're probably not going to figure it out without a guide



vvvvvvvv lol I was this close to doing that, if I had run out of ammo boxes or bloodwort I would have put the game down rather than go grind more

The account holder also suspects the PlayStation 5 works the same way with regards to discs. This is going to be an ongoing worry as Sony shuts services down for legacy devices.

Hopefully Sony keeps those sync servers up indefinitely.

I remember somewhere around the time Heavy Rain came out that Sony had a 'clock error' that prevented even offline games from being played. That event and the PSN hack were the driving force for me staying physical, folks.

As reported this morning, earlier PlayStation 3 models such as the "fat" 60 and 80 GB consoles are unable to connect to the PlayStation Network, and many cannot play even offline games that require trophy functionality.

For as long as the sync server is up, yes. If that server goes down, the ability for a PS4 to play any game lasts as long as that cmos battery's charge.

Geez, what a clusterfuck. All Sony needs to do to ensure goodwill (aside from NOT shuttering the loving stores) is to at least put out a release stating that the basic re-download/patch/verification servers will survive as long as they're in the gaming industry.
