Edit: Update

Hirata Estate: Found an axe and a gun for my augmented arm... I didn't ask for this :v: I killed two shield dudes with the good old baiting and faced a spear miniboss that I ran away from when I noticed that I had enough points to spend on mikiri counter. I fit the new stuff on my arm and now I can shield break (literally). I guess this is more of a combat puzzle game than I thought.

Coin purses are important, right? to keep from losing money.

Yeah, buy purses with money. Also try to locate the fireworks augment, and remember to not press any directions when trying to mikiri, just from a neutral position. It's basically just a forward dodge.


Also, a lot more people can answer questions about Sekiro in the PS5 thread or the Sekiro thread if you get stuck.

Don't get me wrong I think its great that people can get serious mileage out of the Yakuza games but also its a little intimidating to say "heres 8 games, they are all 150 hours long"

If you speedrun them. Normally they last about 2336 hours long, like an Ubisoft game.

Just had a look at my yakuza completion times and 6 is the one I put most hours into (32) which is kinda whack since it has by far the least side content

in my experience anyway the combat in Sekiro feels very different from a Soulsborne game even though it seems similar at first. I found it frustratingly difficult at first but it did click eventually, and once it does it's incredibly satisfying

I sunk a ton of hours into Yakuza 0 because I enjoyed the hostess and mahjong minigames. The others ended up being roughly 60 hrs because I did a bulk of the substories but skipped most of the non-substory mini games. They're fantastic, and yeah, you can mainline the story if that's all you want to do and finish in a very reasonable time.

nah, souls games are best when barely anyone is playing them. makes the feeling of being trapped and alone in the world and then seeing a rare summon sign all that more rewarding. dark souls 1 on pc was like this and it owned. played ds2 at launch and seeing 1000s of signs and summon points plasted near a room spoiling a boss surprise kinda sucked.

ds2 does own regardless.

ReVerve posted:

Just a reminder that (insert It's Not a Souls Game gif).

It really isn't. There's no stamina, stealth kills exist, you can jump and grapple hook. Your primary goal in combat isn't really just health damage, it's pressure, posture damage and learning enemy tells. It's part rhythm game. There are a lot of shinobi tools/skills for certain situations.

It's my favorite From game and I'm glad it's so different from a regular Souls game.

I agree with this but last time I posted about how Sekiro isn't a souls game I got grilled (different thread I think)

Maybe this was changed in SotFS or a patch, but hidden doors take precedence. If there is a hidden doorway you’ll open it before reading the text.

can the original PS4 stand be purchased anywhere? CUH-ZST1E. I can't find it at all so I'm guessing not.

I think this is the new version, but it doesn't work for me because I store my ps4 in a drawer when not using it. I literally just need a stand, nothing else

A refurbished PS4 Pro costs as much as the shittier version of PS5. But at least refurbished PS4 Pros are actually available somewhere. Lol lmao xd.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but if I were to snag a PS5 when I have money, it would make a PS4 Pro redundant, right?

For almost every use case, yes. There are a tiny number of exceptions that are pretty much game-specific.

- VR games require the special-order adapter.
- There are 7 paid games and 3 noteworthy demos that don't work at all (there are a lot of older demos that don't work but only 3 that people might actually care about), with a further 2 or 3 titles (possibly more) that will run but either crash all the time or have unplayable severe rendering issues. Most of these you probably haven't heard of so don't worry about them.
- There are a little over 100 games (out of the 4000+ titles in the PS4 library) that have some type of noticeable issues. Some are minor, like the framerate or something about the rendering isn't exactly 1:1 with a PS4 or PS4 Pro, with a tiny number having more significant graphical glitches (e.g. Assassin's Creed Syndicate has broken shadow rendering). Many of these incompatible games are older sports titles, PS2-on-PS4 games, and VR games, although many games in these respective categories also work fine.
- If you're playing disc games, it's not uncommon for some older games to be unplayable (they'll run but either have severe graphical glitches or crash all the time) unless they're patched.
- Obviously, all PS4 Pros will run discs, but discless PS5 SKUs won't.

RETAIL RETAIL LISTEN TO ME BITCH ABOUT RETAIL
:rant:
Tried to play GTA5 for the first time since May last night and I couldn't loving shoot. loving R2 sensitivity bullshit, is it worth trying to disassemble and unfuck the R2 switch? I can always get a new wireless controller on Amazon, right?

Speaking of...any recommendations for third-party wireless controllers? I'm not the primary player of the system, and the kid who is jumps around too much while playing for corded controllers to be effective.


EDIT:

univbee posted:

I don't know if good third-party wireless controllers exist that aren't designed for CoD tournament weebs that cost like $150+. With the huge influx of PS4 trade-ins at places like Gamestop it might be worth seeing how much a used official controller is.

90% of what gets played on our PS4 is Minecraft, Terraria, and LittleBigPlanet; other than that it's my few-and-far-between shooter sessions of GTA, H:ZD, and the like. Most on Amazon seem to have 3-4 star reviews, which worries my wife. I'll have her take a look at GameStop though, that's a good idea.
