It’s insanely easy compared to any souls game once you’ve figured out the mechanics. I died a few times early on and then basically never in the last couple of dungeons

Sometimes, in a city this dirty, you need a real hero.
Bit of a long shot, but did anyone else here pick up the GTA collection?

I'm trying to access the docks at the beginning of Vice City to get a boat (to start collecting hidden packages), but I'm hitting an invisible wall.

It's been years since I played it so can't remember if I'm supposed to be able to get onto the docks this early or not.

I'm not sure if it's a bug or just that the gate to the dock hasn't rendered or some poo poo.

As someone that loves FROM games, I got lost on Mortal Shell and couldn't get into the shell mechanics, then I got distracted by other games. I really want to come back to it because I love the aesthetics.

Is there a way to have games install from the disc while I’m doing something else? I turn off the screen and the PS4 goes to sleep and stops installing the game. Or when I switch inputs to watch something, the PS4 goes to sleep or rest. Did I miss a setting somewhere?

Turn CEC off to stop the PS4 from sleeping when you change inputs, at least

You can from a download, but restmode shuts off the BD-ROM so you can't from a disc.

I got tipsy last night and Googled 'Bloodborne on PC', which led me to the discovery of PS Now. Within 15 minutes of searching I was streaming Bloodborne and playing with my USB Xbox controller- fucken stellar!

The game seems to be running very smoothly and I have no real complaints, but I feel like there's still got to be a way to mitigate the ~1ms latency... my PC is connected to my modem, which I think I am renting from Spectrum. What do I do to improve my Gamer Experience?

Anyone have experience with Swords of Ditto: Mormo's Curse? Looks like something fun to do in co-op, wanted to see if it was just mindless and rote, or if it had some charm to its gameplay.

Edit: It's also like $7 CAD atm.

I did! I got a great deal on a PS4 Pro and some games. Uncharted 4, Bloodborne, Last of Us Remastered, Spider-Man and God of War. I picked up FF7 Remake because it was only $25. Looking at Ghost of Tsushima, Persona 5 Royal and maybe Horizon Zero Dawn. I'm objectively bad at any games that require me to aim, so maybe Death Stranding too.

Good! It’s a very basic Souls-like with one or two cool ideas in it. The harden mechanic is very fun, you can basically turn into a rock during combat but you can combine this with your attacks in different ways, it’s probably the best idea in the game.

The dungeons are fun, although the opening area is super confusing.

Get it on sale or if it goes on PS+ / Now though. It’s super short. I liked it.

Dont be like me and miss the main hub for the first like 3 hours. Just look up how to get there!

So I'm almost done with Atelier Ryza, and had been planning on making my next game Tales Of Arise

but Assassin's Creed Valhalla is on sale apparently. These are both franchises I have played many times and enjoy. Which one should be next out of those two?

Takes of Arise. Imo it's a better game, but also it's shorter so if you finish it then still want AC:V, then it won't be a hundred hours later

I ask this and the game goes on sale for 30$ the next day so I guess I'll found out for myself!

I hear that Valhalla is pretty buggy in weird ways and hides a lot of mechanics behind the upgrade system for some reason.

Arise is better than Valhalla but Odyssey is better than both.

Would this be the right place to ask about networking issues with the PS4 Pro and Erros? I did some Googling and it seems to be a well known problem a year ago where people are having issues connecting their PS4 Pro and having a stable connection. Didn't seem like anyone had a real solution aside from hardwire the thing.

I followed the instructions noted on here, but after a bit of time it gets all choppy. https://community.eero.com/t/x2hyk08?r=m1h89wt

My gf and I are a few hours into It Takes Two and we're having fun with it. The characters are sometimes a little grating but the gameplay is solid platformer faire with some creative levels and two-player gameplay.
