Guillermus posted:Breakpoint still has better controls tho. Agreed as hell--that part of the meta or whatever of open world games has made some leaps. O to reload?? Has anyone at Rockstar used a video game before? I will say I prefer snapping to cover with R1, but I'm used to auto cover in Breakpoint now so switching between the two has been confusing as poo poo.

It's insane that Rockstar makes these open world games that are absolutely unmatched in attention detail, visual fidelity etc. and then cling to these awful control schemes that feel like a mix of the PS2 era, before everyone agreed on how 3ps should control, while simultaneously trying to reinvent the wheel. RDR2 was always sort of mixed bag for me because almost everything about it is borderline amazing, but then you have these awful controls bogging every second of it down. Felt the same way about The Witcher 3.

Rockstar games are loving awful to play because they don't let you customize them freely.

RDR2 is so weirdly conservative at times despite having this radically detailed and dynamic open world. It has a bit of a split personality. It's like there was a tug of war at Rockstar between people who wanted to try ambitious new game design and people who wanted to reuse GTA as a template for making genre movies.

Yeah it never really reconciles the half of it that wants to be a groundbreaking open world game and the half that wants to be an epic western. Ultimately I do think it’s a great game but it has these different elements clashing with each other that could have really been streamlined with some better direction. There’s just so much that’ll wow you throughout the game I find it forgivable, but that along with the controls are the only thing keeping me from calling it one of the goats.

After using my PS4 Pro for ~2 hours I started to intermittently lose either sound or video to the TV. I have HDMI to the PS4 to the TV, but my soundbar is connected to the ARC (not sure if my PS4 should be connected to the soundbar). I can't seem to isolate the issue as trying different HDMI cables or ports do not immediately solve the issue, I wait a few minutes and keep switching inputs until the screen shows up again. What would be the most likely culprit? HDMI cable? PS4? TV port? Not being connected to the soundbar?

I don't know what an ARC is, but if you're losing sound and video and it's HDMI straight to the TV, it's either the cable or the port on the tv or PlayStation. Different TV HDMI input? e hmm some Reddit guy posted:Lesson learned: HDMI ARC and PS4

I bought a nice new 2tb nvme HD for my ps5 which I just installed so I can copy all my videos/screenshots from my ps4 to it & give my little brother my ps4 and the music/artwork from my ps4's Undertale theme as I use this thing for the very last time is breaking my heart 💔

Like this theme is so good. Lots of memories. It's usually pretty rare for me to stick with themes unless I feel it's like 11 out of 10 in quality and the very first time I applied this theme i distinctly remember thinking "I am never changing this". It's too bad I can't take it with me :negative'

RDR2 is easily the best written R* game so its kinda sad that they appear to be leaning into the 'just churn out MMO crap forever' business model.Quantum of Phallus posted:no they didn’t , the game is real, it’s a camera feed I think this was a bad Dave Franco movie

They were already full force into that business model with GTA5 when it came out. It just didn't work with RDR2 online to the same degree, but the game still sold like 30 million copies. I don't see the endless milking of GTA5 as any sort of indicator of them abandoning anything. It's just a huge cash cow that they aren't going to stop with as long as they can get away with it. Kind of doubt there will ever be another red dead game though tbh

I really don’t think RDR2 looks better than literally any other open world PS4 game. Horizon Zero Dawn and Ghost of Tsushima both look way way better, to me.

So far I've tried Sekiro and Bloodborne, and while I thought their gameplay was fun, I simply could not git gud enough to not make the experience frustrating, to the degree I couldn't/wouldn't progress past certain points. Are there similarly fantasy/supernatural setting games (or any other environments) out there with very smooth/airtight mechanics that feature scalable difficulty? Someone referred Nioh to me, but also added it's even more difficult than Sekiro, so I was going to have to rule that one out. I was considering Shadow of the Colossus, Ghost of Tsushima, and maybe Immortals Fenyx Rising, any potential recommendations would be welcome.

Nioh is no way more difficult than Sekiro. Nioh is like Dark Souls in a sense that you can build your character any way you like which includes broken and cheesy builds.

Shadow of the Colossus is not a very technical game at all, it's more of a real-time puzzler where the puzzle is you figuring out how to climb onto the monsters. Ghost of Tsushima is an open-world RPG lite experience where the only real challenge exists within the first few hours, afterwards you can easily destroy everything with ghost tools and upgrades. What you want is a Character Action Game (or brawlers, as degenerates call them) such as Bayonetta or Devil May Cry V. Easy enough to beat just by button mashing, highly technical to fully master.

I'd rank it #2 among PS4 exclusives. #1 is God of War. I liked Immortals Fenyx Rising a lot. I'd watch some gameplay and if it looks fun, grab it. Shadow of the Colossus is fine. I think it's a bit thin of a game. Definitely better to play than to watch, though.

Unrelated to anything, I was saved the other day in Shadow of Mordor by the secret orc based on the developer who died before the games release, it was like seeing a UFO e actually I can kind of connect it, what little I played of The Witcher 3 felt more like one of the Shadow games than Ghost of Tsushima

Ghost of Tsushima owes a ton to Witcher 3 which owes a ton to red dead. What I'm saying is Ghost of tsushima is a western game.
