Black Flag but more of it + the ability to make my own pirate and get into more management/roleplaying hijinks is a dream game for me.

I kinda just wanted the ship combat with a little more depth part of a whole other pirate game. Like Risen.

I want Assassin's Creed 4 ship combat with Dark Messiah first person swashbuckling. I have no idea about this Skull and Bones game, but I will probably give it a look whenever it does come out.

Does anyone else ever have issues with their DS reading the wrong d-pad inputs? I've been playing Nioh 2 and for some reason when I hit up on the D-Pad to heal, it occasionally activates the item in the right D-Pad shortcut instead. My finger is never anywhere near the right button though. It's bizarre and gets me killed half the time it happens.

I’m glad every time this game gets mentioned and people like it. I know it’s a huge cult hit or whatever but when I played it I had heard nothing about it and just played it randomly and it was such a delight.

The D-Pad is one piece of plastic, so depending on the way you’re hitting the up button you could also trigger left/right. You might have something trapped under the right button that’s exacerbating it.

There was a pirate game on the PS1 where you just sailed your little boat around firing the cannons at other boats.

What was that game, they should do that again.

Any kind of driving or shooting which doesn’t do something with adaptive resistance just feels spongey and lifeless now, it’s crazy.

Adaptive triggers are awesome but it seems like 9.5/10 developers have no idea what the gently caress to do with them and land on "lets make the triggers feel broken"

Returnal felt exactly like a game made for the PS5 with all its speed and haptics and so forth, and I hope that the PC port is comparable for those getting it there.

The only things they’ve been actively bad in for me so far are:

THPS1+2 where they added a little clicky resistance which feels horrible and fucks up my timing on reverts, but they have a toggle specifically for that in the options to switch it off without turning off any of the other new haptics so it’s not so bad

DMC5 made both of my controllers make a scary clicking sound whenever the sword trigger gimmick kicked in, but they felt ok to use so that’s not so bad.

That Ubisoft BOTW knockoff that I can’t remember the title of, where they had them “pulse” while you were partially holding them down for some stuff and it just felt like you were about to break them instead. Think they patched that out though, so probably also not so bad.

Hot Wheels Unleashed is a great offering especially since it's one of those games where normally if you want the PS4 and PS5 versions you had to buy both at full price, but they'll be offering both versions in PS+. So make sure you actually grab both versions if you care about this, and also note that I think the DLC is also PS4 and PS5 specific so be sure to buy the right ones if you get any.

The new Modern Warfare 2 finally figured the tech and you’re at an advantage using the adaptive triggers. Instead of trying to do any fancy “trigger simulation” bullshit, all they did was turn the sensitivity way up so you have hair triggers.

No more pushback from the triggers so your hands don’t feel tired in 5 minutes.

In fact the track record for games recommended by PlayStation goons is 100%, which is a serious achievement!

i felt the same way Beanpole, I put it down maybe twice and only after hearing nothing but praise decided to knuckle down and really give it a real square go. It requires you to think out the box a bit but I felt it was fairly well guided for the majority. I'll admit though I got super stumped in the last maybe 10% and just had to look up a guide, I would have loved to have solved it of my own accord but that little bit of assistance was preferable to just binning it out of sheer frustration. It depends which side of that fence you sit on but yeah I wouldn't fault anyone for bouncing off that game out of sheer bewilderment

It’s a significant improvement over Cold War’s triggers that fought you with every pull. I played the beta with triggers turned both off and on, and it’s actually an improvement in this one.

BP and I were messaging each other on PSN while he was playing and I took a look at his rumor map, and while he’s explored pretty thoroughly, he’s still missed a few of the more important locations which I’m sure is the only reason why he thinks it’s more obtuse than it is. He’s still yet to go to the vessel, the third escape pod, the quantum moon, the core of giants deep/the probe tracking module, the black hole forge, the tower of quantum knowledge, the sun station and obviously the ash twin project.. Or those were the locations with just question marks on them on the rumor map and I also asked if he’d been to any of them and he said no. Oh and he hasn’t been to the lakebed cave but that’s probably the only place he hasn’t been that’s not entirely essential, and hasn’t been to anywhere relating to the dlc besides the shack on timber hearth that tells you about it, but yeah there could be more places I’m not thinking of that are also important, but I also just didn’t remember exactly how the rumor map worked and what exactly a question mark indicated.

Rumour stuff with a question mark means: More to explore here.

It will pop up in orange for explore and investigate stuff.
