I think Sony is just flexing on Microsoft. "you have no exclusvies and everything even close you can play on PC and isn't that great anyway. Check these games out!"

thiccabod posted:PES was rebranded as "efootball" for 2022 and had a free version with just 9 teams. I haven't tried it myself but a quick googling saw mention of playing offline against AI or a friend so it might include local co-op. Could be worth it to try out Ah nice one. I bought the 2021 version - my first PES in a while - and found it pretty excellent. I've been in the Pro Evo camp since the PS2 days, though it did cede a lot of ground to FIFA during the PS3 era. The 2021 version (think it's called Season Update or something weird like that) felt like a modern version of the awesome old PS2 games, so I love it. But if my staff (those who play football games) all prefer FIFA and would have more fun with it then I don't want to force PES on them. Good to know about the free version though - may give it a look.

Ha ha I spent the day doing the first Gauntlet in Sekiro. It’s 3 bosses in a row without dying. Let t took me a lotta tries, but I did it! I was super excited, until I saw the second gauntlet is like 10 bosses including SSI without dying. LoL lmao

It’s such a nice game but I’ve mostly watched ladykilo play it. Will do! A goon in the Switch thread did a write up of Good Life that intrigued me, I can find that for you if you'd like. I'll be grabbing it next week. Do keep in mind that there's a murder mystery element, if you don't want that kinda content in your life sim. As for Friends of Mineral Town, it'll be great as long as they didn't gently caress the port up. I've played it a bit on the Switch already.

Inspector Hound posted:I got someone's spare VR headset a while ago and it's just sort of sat on my shelf. Lately I've been playing around with it, and it's pretty sweet if you have a setup where you can easily just put it away and move the camera without too much hassle. Movies are cast onto a huge screen that fills your view while a giant thing sits on your head, VR games are immersive to the point of being disorienting, in a good way, while a giant thing sits on your head, honestly once you get used to the thing on your head and finding your controller without looking it's very cool. Hard to scratch your nose while it's all happening. I drive a Civic, and they have the new Type-R Civic in Gran Turismo so that was obviously the first order of business. I liked looking around at all the buttons I recognized on the dashboard. You can check your blind spots and mirrors, even look over your shoulder. For bonus immersion, imagine the giant thing on your head is your cool pro racing helmet. The first thing I tried with my PSVR was Gran Turismo. I picked the Miata so I could see how high I could stick my head up before the display blacked out (reasonably high, all things considered). Inspector Hound posted:and looking down at yourself wearing a fire suit but feeling the controller in your hands is bizarre. The TV will also display the same thing as your headset, so everyone can watch. It's probably personal preference whether it improves normal games or not, the screen it presents you with is pretty big. I managed to get a kill in Battlefield, but it's good there's an option to make the virtual screen smaller. My PS4 also came with the Logitech wheel but all I had to clamp it to was my cat tower, which made for a rather disorienting experience with the shifter. I sold the wheel because I've never been into racing games (and don't really have room in my apartment for the setup) but if at least one of those factors was a bit different I'd have definitely kept it, made for a really cool experience. I did buy a HOTAS controller for SW:Squadrons but never really got the hang of it - never used one before so figuring out where the myriad buttons are mapped to required being able to see the labels on the controller, which I couldn't do with the VR set on... just trying to flounder through the missions until I learned wasn't very successful/fun either. I have been meaning to play a few hours on the TV to set the muscle memory up then switch to VR, but haven't gotten around to it. It's a little disorienting flying the TIE because you're looking at your hands on a control yoke rather than a stick and throttle, but the X-Wing feels right at home. Being able to turn your head to look out the side of the cockpit and see your s-foils lock into attack position at the start of an Alliance mission is a very  moment.

Everything about it (gameplay, graphics, sound) is terrible. If you have eFootball PES 2021 you're fine and you can patch it to the current season. Funnily enough, FIFA 22 seems to be the best in years and you can just get an old PES (from 2014 to 2021) 2nd hand for really cheap and just patch it. If you don't care about updated rosters, for co-op or versus, FIFA 14 and 16 are generally considered the peak of the generation and are cheap enough.

It's not as cool as the old Battlefront VR mission because there you had an interactive button that did that and you pressed it yourself in response to someone saying the line I believe that's the only time in my life I have genuinely squee-ed

Grabbed Ghost Recon: Breakpoint, because I'm a willing victim of Ubisoft and there's some free stuff coming/available as they try to hype up whatever their next game is. It's got the giant map and stop and go action of Wildlands, Far Cry's blunt cultural insensitivity and The Division 2's general overcomplication when it comes to leveling up and completing objectives, it really has everything. For real though, if you like Wildlands you should grab this. It's ridiculously customizable, from your character, to your team, to the specifics of the difficulty (easy or tough enemies? How dark do you want it at night? Should the guns have levels and stats, or do you just want 'guns?' Ammo pool, or drop the rest of the mag on reload?) and seems like it will be fun once I get the hang of it. NOTE: The "gold edition" is $20 on the PS store, but the normal version is $60, so check and make sure you're not cheating yourself.

Seconding this: I picked up Breakpoint during last year's lockdown and it already had the "Ghost Recon Experience" update fixing a ton of stuff and adding full gameplay customization from pure looter shooter arcade to full survival sim. They kept patching, fixing and adding free content, missions and weapons to it. Right now is vastly superior to Wildlands and the "only" downside is that it needs to be always online (no PS+ needed) just to start the game but otherwise is a super fun open world murder simulator. For 20 bucks is an easy recommendation both solo and co-op (seriously, play this co-op with simulation difficulty setting).

Re: Breakpoint, biggest disappointment so far, besides how bad I have clearly become at video games, is that I couldn't pull my custom operator from Wildlands, had to make a new one. vv I think so? It said the wait for PvP was a minute and a half, but the hub area was also full of players, so idk vv Inspector Hound fucked around with this message at 19:25 on Oct 28, 2021 |

Crows Turn Off posted:Do people still play it online? Seems right up my alley but I'd be bummed if I bought it and nobody played. You can still use AI operators that you can fully customize but there are always people on the HUB and the last time I played (about two weeks) I could just join a random to help him with a few missions.

I use both my macbook air and ps4 (original, not pro) with my 1080p monitor. If I get a 4k monitor, is the ps4 display going to look weird? I assume the monitor will try to "upscale" or whatever it's called.

Should be fine, 1080p integer scales to 4K so there shouldn’t be any weird pixel doubling or anything.

It'll look a little softer than native 4K but unless you're sitting very close or the monitor is very lovely you'll quickly stop noticing unless you specifically look for it

BearDrivingTruck posted:I just got a $30ish 3rd party controller to replace one that had bad drift, but it's having some problems. When I try to turn on the PS4 with that controller, it just flashes white and doesn't do anything. If I turn the PS4 on manually it'll connect and I can use it, but there's no vibration even though that's a feature of that particular model. The settings screen for that controller will say the vibration is turned on, even though controller isn't shaking at all. Is there a fix for both? The same thing's happening on a completely fresh new Sony PS4 controller. Is there a setting I messed up on the console or in the game? e: I reinitialized the console after uploading to cloud, and now there's rumble but it's pretty weak in combat BearDrivingTruck fucked around with this message at 23:40 on Nov 1, 2021 |

Haven't landed on whether or not I will buy Vanguard right away mostly due to timing, but I can assure you I'll crush the campaign when I get around to it. Always found it weird that so many COD players don't bother with the campaigns. I can't imagine bothering with multiplayer before kicking back and playing the campaign first.
