Next can we redo the panic about how you can’t set the system clock without a PSN connection so in the hypothetical future where PSN being gone is your biggest problem and not whatever apocalypse hellscape we’re living in by then you won’t be able to play your PS5 anymore, that was a good one.

Man, altus plateau is hard. I love the music though. Tbh I think I might be reaching the limits of my elden ring stamina. I'm near the capital, lvl56, and there's a stressful mini boss round every corner and I just don't think I can be arsed to deal with it anymore. I have no idea if I'm close to the end or not (have barely scratched the surface of Caelid), but the other regions I'm aware of are largely explored, and it feels like I might need to do a lot of grinding before I can get anywhere near the centre of the capital. I don't usually play two games at the same time (other than sports sims), so I'm loathe to drop it, but I find myself forcing myself to play these days rather than looking forward to it. I've been meaning to play Death Stranding for ages, and feel like maybe I'll just pick that up and call it a day with ER for now.

Caelid is basically made for easy grinding. Check it out and you'll get showered by souls and also get some cool gear.

It's made for getting accidentally teleported into and then walking back to limgrave and returning there 20-30 levels higher and clowning margit on the second try

I preordered the PSVR2 headset today in a moment of wavering sanity. Haven't used the PSVR1 in a year or so, but used it a ton for years before that - the launch lineup didn't do much for me, but now that GT7 and RE8 are getting free upgrades, I decided gently caress it. Here's hoping it doesn't die on the vine. The games for PSVR1 that got the most time from me: - SuperHot - Beat Saber - RE7 - The full London Heist game I can't remember the name of - I Expect You to Die escape rooms - Ultrawings flight sim - the Walking Dead games for crunchy combat - Arizona Sunshine and Farpoint (I have the Aim gun also) - VR Football (draw your own plays and play the QB, actually loved it) - Skyrim VR (never played it otherwise, but swinging a sword while shooting fireballs from left hand felt amazing) - Obduction, basically Myst successor with a cool world to walk ...and a bit of GT Sport, Ace Combat, Squadrons, Wipeout HD for vehicle stuff although GT was pretty limited. Wipeout HD is highly underrated if you have the stomach for it. Overall I have a weakness for gizmos, but after 6.5 years since v1 I've had enough fun to give upgrading a try. Not as interested in the Rush of Blood 2 or Horizon VR "experience" type games, but very interested in some better controls owing to the nice controllers instead of the limited Moves.

Actually one of the things that's draining me is now I have uncovered so much of the map, and it's so drenched in icons, I look at it to see where I could go next and I get a little choice paralysis. I have elected to go back to the Manor, where I can now clown on those giant hands. I was so scared of them before that I definitely haven't explored that area fully.

Yeah it looks very similar, if you were lukewarm on the first then it makes sense to wait. Just wanted to make sure you didn't overlook it, it's an easy game to dismiss from watching trailers.

I am right around the same level/area you are, and I just ran straight through the manner without fighting those things. I share you sentiment though, I’m 40 hours into the game and I’m not sure if I care enough to finish it. The game is terrific but it’s also exhausting at points.

I liked what I played of VS but I'm fighting the urge to keep going so I can get some other games in first. I think it was someone in here who mentioned Monster Sanctuary, appreciated the recommendation.

Can you guys confirm for me what I already know, which is that I can't just give Sony $20-$30 to buy Ridge Racer 2 unless it's in the form of an upgrade to Plus Premium?

Not talking about catacombs or mines… Yeah, I've done bits and bobs. Including beating an awesome boss, with no reward, cos apparently its part of some side quest I haven't initiated. Same thing happened nearby with beating a mage in a tower, which I believe might be part of the same quest.

I got one of those $25 PSN cards for Christmas so I think I'm gonna buy Norco while it's on sale then not play it for three months  I also literally have Elden Ring installed and the disc in my PS5 but I'm too engrossed by the Witcher 3 and Yakuza 5 which are weirdly complimentary games (maybe it's the mediocre combat/compelling plot and addictive minigames that make them comparable) to try it yet

Wolfsheim posted:I got one of those $25 PSN cards for Christmas so I think I'm gonna buy Norco while it's on sale then not play it for three months I’ve played nearly all of the Yakuza games while playing through dark souls 1-3/Bloodborne/Sekiro and it’s always a nice, chill contrast to more difficult games. Tim Rogers compared Judgment and Yakuza in general to a tv show, or more specifically he said that it felt like it wasn’t trying to aim for Hollywood movie quality and failing to get there like a lot of games do, and I’ve always thought of them in a similar way.

This makes perfect sense, though I'd say it's more comparable to the '22 episodes a season with a lot of filler and one-offs' TV of yesteryear, since much like modern games most modern TV shows are also trying to just be 8-hour movies

yakuza 5 is drat good. the combat isnt mediocre unless youre after hardcore poo poo like bloodborne, its designed so you feel awesome watching these characters do awesome poo poo, like heat moves, or slicing up drunks after they call you a goat fucker and having a slow mo finisher popping off ughgngg yess

Oh yeah I definitely enjoy the combat in Yakuza, but its not exactly mechanically challenging* so much as satisfying to see Kiryu use a man's neck and face as a shovel. There are way too many unavoidable random encounters in Y5 though, all the new maps have super narrow streets so you end up fighting a dozen hosts, five street thugs and three yakuza every time you want to go to the ramen stand. *I have never played on legendary

Coming up the elevator and seeing the capital in the distance with the weird ghost flags all over the place was extremely cool. I have some issues with Elden Ring but I don't think I've ever played a game that nailed so hard the "coming over a cliff and seeing a beautiful vista" thing. They do that a bunch of times. In the capital where you see the overview of the city through the crack in the wall, when you see the lakes when you come out of the back of Stormveil Castle, the horrors and the giant crows of Caelid when you come up on the little balcony in the abandoned town, the shot of the Captial as I said. I mean the start of the game one of the first things that happens is you come out of the tutorial cave and get a big wide shot of the world ahead of you with the massive gold tree in the distance. They were absolutely masterful at that kind of thing

I feel like most people's first view of Caelid is coming out of the mine the trap chest sends you to and arriving in a poison swamp, and then making your way out of the swamp and seeing the crows and stuff

haveblue posted:I feel like most people's first view of Caelid is coming out of the mine the trap chest sends you to and arriving in a poison swamp, and then making your way out of the swamp and seeing the crows and stuff Yeah I (sadly?) missed out on finding that chest so I never experienced that, so my first time seeing Caelid was in the actual entrance, after you fight the person at the church. I did find the chest that teleports you to the middle of the Capital though, and man is that a wild thing to experience that early in the game. It opens up a part of the map that's REALLY far north, and it's like holy poo poo this map is actually so huge (and of course that's not even the most north it goes), and you can't go anywhere besides this area with a giant that's way higher level than you, since the elevator is down at the bottom. So you can look around and see like, the tree you've seen in the distance reasonably close, with some kind of giant door on it?? And there's what looks to be some kind of stone dragon?? Where is this place?!
