Sekiro is one of those games where I admit the game is incredible and that I only gave up because I was so bad at the game.

Everyone says "Go in blind" for this one, but how long is it until the "thing" is revealed?

I might play it with a friend tonight, and I'm curious.

Should be within an hour, depending on how long you spend in the opening area

Outer Wilds is a continuous string of revelations, that’s why people are so reticent to go into detail about anything. The major gameplay gimmick should reveal itself within the hour, though, yeah

Beat Dead Rising 1 yesterday (gently caress that final boss, holy poo poo) and moved on to 2, which I've played before. It was kind of exhilarating, going back to it. I almost ran out of time for a story case and I had to carefully prioritize and route my survivor rescue attempts to make it to the case without letting anything time out. As much as making combo weapons and killing zombies, carefully managing time is part of what makes that game so interesting.

The 60fps upgrade for outer wilds is rough as gently caress. It really struggles.

Another real bummer of GTA San Andreas: the gang AI. I'm near the end of the game where you've gotta retake all these neighborhoods, and doing it solo really sucks, so I'm trying to use my gang members but they really suck too lol

I can run a 6 person gang, so I'll recruit a bunch of dudes but they either won't shoot the enemies at all or they'll all die instantly.

I'll be glad when I'm done with this game.

At least they work. In the new Saints Row game you get the ability to summon some gang members at will but they just spawn in and then stand there taking bullets. Pretty sure one becomes an enemy too.

Even the S is significantly better than the PS4. The new CyberPunk expansion isn't releasing on the PS4 or XBONE, for example, but is available on the S.

Ya know I don’t really think this is conclusive of anything given how bad the base game’s performance is on last gen lol

Sounds more like CDPR threw their hands in the air and gave up because their game’s performance is hot garbo and the new consoles cover up for it.

I think it's more a case of the game's design overshooting the CPU and HDD limitations of the last gen so badly that optimization was a nearly impossible task. As badly as it runs on the old consoles, it's amazing it runs that well at all. It absolutely should have been a next-gen exclusive but premature hype and marketing boxed them in.

What part of the game’s basic-rear end design overshoots the capabilities of last gen exactly?

They excised all the fake reactive stuff they showed in the original trailers and made a game that’s no more in-depth or detailed than your average Bethesda gamebryo turd.

It’s just poorly made.

Tons of NPCs and vehicles (CPU) with high animation and geometry and texture detail (HDD) in high-detail environments (HDD). You can tell what parts of the game stress the old consoles by seeing what gets sanded down relative to the next-gen and PC versions, and it's mostly NPC/vehicle density and uniqueness/detail.

Do you mean the Bethesda Gamebryo turds that regularly overshoot the performance capabilities of the console platforms they are originally released on?

OlliOlli World got past me too. But it feels destined to wind up on a subscription service so at this point I'm waiting for that to happen.

It definitely comes off as working the refs from Sony, but that's not actually an incorrect statement (in the sense that the Activision Blizzard acquisition is a massive step toward further media consolidation, which is an inherent bad)

It's cool for them until some pencil pusher looks at a bunch of spreadsheets and says "hmm, we don't need all these different redundant departments, let's cut half our new employees" or "single player games aren't selling well, we should stop making them," and they now control 30% of the industry so that decision is incredibly harmful

the big tone-establishing cutscene at the beginning of the game is a montage that rapidly jump-cuts between a bunch of different locations with different NPCs, different times of day, etc. and that alone should make the PS4 explode.

Just beat the orphan of kos, solo, on my sixth try. It was frantic and fun and wow. I feel great. Recorded the video too :3 man. Steaming through this game. Also when the kos parasite popped in my inventory I got the old hunters weapons trophy!

Orphan of Kos is the only Soulsborne boss other than Darkeater Midir to take me more than one entire evening of attempts. Sixth try is super impressive.
