Anyone know where the ps4 Disco Elysium is in terms of playability? It's in special in Australia but last I heard the play station version was in a pretty bad state?

I'm playing the PS4 version in Australia on a slim PS4 and have had no issues yet after a couple of long sessions with the game.

If you mean control-wise, it feels a bit weird at first with DS4 and isn't well explained but after a bit of time it felt just fine.

yeah the explanation for controls is a little slim. thankfully you can just pause and look at the controls, after a while the ‘right stick > interact’ functionality feels natural.

It's Wonder Boy: Asha in Monster World day, my friends! Whoop whoop first "new" Wonder Boy for 2 years hooray!

Glad they've added an Easy difficulty because the original was some straight up bullshit - the last dungeon was such a ridiculous difficulty spike. They've also added save anywhere to the pause menu, which will also help because you couldn't save in dungeons before.

It's a little bit pricey at £30 tho IMO, it loses the metroidvania aspects of the preceding games so it's basically completely linear, and it also loses the RPG-lite aspects of making your character more powerful - but at the same time that does side step the grinding that older games (especially Wonder Boy in Monster World) kind of required to get the best gear.

Still though, it looks a lot less cheap now it's done than when they first showed it off, and it's Wonder Boy so I can't not play it...

Edit: oh but they can gently caress off with only bundling the original game with the (very limited) physical versions - that's very lame.

I tried to play the first one when they gave the collection away with PS+ but it just felt like a dated 3D platformer that you probably already needed nostalgia for to really dig it. IMO.

Jak 1 is really really good! Jak 2 is uh..misguided at best and terminally difficult. Jak 3 is pretty good, Daxter is alright, Jak X was fun and had a Queens of the Stone Age song, The Lost Frontier was bad.

It took a month but most of the crashing has stopped, but the longer you play you'll still get the weird camera slowdown (after clicking something/dialogue, the camera takes several slow seconds to recenter itself around you) but that is much better than when it used to start happening after playing for 10 minutes.

You're not wrong, but it could be better yet and it's just bit of a shame. I mean whatever, I'm in Aus, playing with me is terminally awful for anyone involved regardless. I spend my time in Granblue getting owned by Japanese teenagers who are off school early.

Considering the lack of changes they might as well have just had the original game running underneath the new graphics like Dragon's Trap

I heard the loading screens are absolutely brutal on PS4. Is that true? I’m considering waiting until whenever I get a PS5 now.

I guess they're a little long but not so much it was an issue for me. I haven't seen the loading screen itself much outside of deaths/breakdowns and the occasional transitions between indoors and outdoors, but truth be told it hadn't really occurred to me that this was a problem with the PS4 version as I haven't compared it with any other platform.

I must protest, Sonic 3 & Knuckles (fully locked) is better than Mania. Unlocked? Well...it's an open debate then, but I'd still edge toward S&K due to the quality of its levels by the standards of 25 years ago.
