anyone know the going rate of PS4s on ebay/craigslist/facebook mp? I'm thinking of selling my Pro + PSVR (though I might hold on to the latter for a bit until they announce PSVR2) and didn't want to start out with a ridiculous price.

Earlier this month I listed my PS4 Pro on ebay for $175 and it wound up selling for $200, and as far as I could tell that was fairly in line with what a lot of them were going for without extra stuff added to the listing.

I'm pretty sure this got left behind in the PS360 versions, or if it didn't it's very well hidden because I've not been able to find it.

It's under Game Settings -> Action Button Assist. Changing it to On makes QTEs easier, while Auto completes them automatically.

I just checked on the Switch version, but I think it's in all of them. Maybe just the Auto option is new. The only things I know the Switch version added are gyro aiming and the ability to use costumes during the campaigns. They're not in every cutscene though 🙁

6 is its own thing and an incredible experience and show of unbridled ambition that i cannot wait to see again with resident evil 9: Apocalypse

I want that so bad. It could be about all the characters teaming up to take down umbrella between CVX and RE4. Maybe next time they shouldn't advertise their cheesy gunkata B-movie as a return to the survival horror roots.

Watching that combat guide reminds me of how completely insane Capcom's designers were. I had no idea you could hold the taunt button while running to turn corners sharper. I bet there was one person who programmed that in and never bothered to tell anyone about it.

The controls definitely need to be streamlined though, using something similar to Vanquish and MGSV. RE6 is like going back to MGS2 and 3 with their pressure sensitive controls and trying to add too many actions to the MGS1 button layout.

I played TLOU2 last night until Joel gets it.

It seems "ok". The game feels very similar to 1 in almost every way. It almost feels like I've already played this game.

I like custom options tho and I immediately changed a lot of them like enabling auto pickups, removed screen effects, shaky cam etc.

Im gonna play some more tonight and maybe I'll warm up to the gameplay more because its been ages since I played 1.

That is still very very early. I do remember thinking ‘this is exactly like tlou1’ but the movement and flow of encounters and what you can make Ellie do is so far and away greater than what tlou1 achieved. Gave me a similar, satisfied feeling to when I played MGSV, the feeling of control over your character is snappy and weighty and fun. Which works so well because the scenarios and encounters quickly turn against you and if you felt slow and clunky it’d feel like rear end and unfair.

And like MGSV, dumb thoughts like ‘I bet this will work if I do this’ also pays off.

Yeah having no other games come to mind I also felt like it was very MGSV in the movement, mainly just being able to go prone and how you'll dive if you hold the button down while you're running. Still can't think of anything else. If I remember correctly, you slide if you do that in Horizon: Zero Dawn.

I played TLOU1 and 2 back to back when 2 launched and 2 felt immediately so much better despite 1 being really good already. I can't believe the same company made Uncharted, actually, and now want them to make Uncharted: Grimdark.

Someone in this thread pointed out that GTA5 seems to actively hate women, and after playing 57 of 69 missions, I completely agree with that. Even if somehow they introduced an amazing female character, fully grounded and well fleshed out personality and life wise, who has an intricate and important tie to the plot of the game, it would still not be enough because holy gently caress, this game is aggravating with their bullshit.

It's absurdly misogynistic, yeah. Tanisha is the only female character that isn't actively radiating the writers' antipathy, her only purpose is to call out Franklin's bullshit and she's in the game so little she might as well not be.

i would add that, in addition to actively hating women, it actively hates everyone else as well. it's easily the most cynical game i've ever played and i don't like that at all! the gameplay is fun but i despise the story and characters

the only well-adjusted character in GTAV is franklin's girlfriend, who's onscreen for...two minutes? and gets three lines?

the rest aren't just shitheads, they're caricatured shitheads. they don't have characters or personalities beyond "spoof of political/game protagonist stereotype." at least characters like dmitri or micah come by their unpleasantness honestly

Other than basically being a murderer for hire Franklin seems pretty well-adjusted.

Which shouldn't really matter because every game with guns is about committing mass murder and not really remarking on it, but he's as 'good' as a GTA protagonist could be, I guess?

Trevor's a lot smarter than he lets on if you pay attention to what he actually does or says. There's several times you can see the gears turning in his head and he plays up the psycho to get what he wants or deflect away from something else. He's a fascinatingly manipulative piece of poo poo.

I really appreciate that you can finetune difficulty in TLOU2. One of the things I didn't like in 1 is the lack of supplies on higher difficulties. In 2 you can increase the difficulty but you can keep the supplies at base level so you can actually use your guns.

honestly agree, felt like a lot of the japenese devs were blindsided by the HD and couldnt compete with western pc devs who already knew the tricks of resolutions above 480. some killer titles tho but yeah when i think of that gen, its waggle, dark and brown bloomy with few standouts.

trevor is great, an all timer classic nutjob character, when i think of gtav i just think of him and thats it tbh lol i barely remember the other characters. just him and the thief ost.

You’re not wrong. As they move towards being more realistic, Rockstar has constantly been making them less fun and gamey.
