Only if the checkmarks are designed by one of the stupidest people to ever live... it's fine in most games.

That's how the Obsidian South Park game worked. They even went ahead and placed a collectable immediately after a checkpoint but right before a tough boss fight

Doom 2016's checkpoint saves annoyed me because I liked to finish a battle and then hunt for secrets, but it only saves immediately after the fight so if you accidentally fall into the lava and die or something, you have to re-hunt for all the secrets. I can't remember if Doom Eternal had the same issue.

That rules :) Does everything sound clearer now?

Hearing is essential to so much of my day to day life. Like I'm finishing up an EP this week and I wouldn't be able to do that without hearing. I feel like I probably take my ability to hear for granted sometimes but I really, really shouldn't. It's so valuable to me.

Related to video games: the sound design in Dead Space is loving terrifying :ohdear:

I do this during monster Hunter quests when I can’t pause and I gotta do something, chances are I’m actually getting brutally murdered by something, but when I get back to the game I’m at camp and I usually finish the quest before time runs out. What I don’t know can’t hurt me

The point is that auto saves need to be designed so that it doesn't make you do unnecessary poo poo again in a game that you already did that adds nothing to your experience of playing the game. And most are! That is why this one awful one really stood out to me.

It’s smarter than you think! In Yakuza 3 and 4 remastered it’s the only way to pause cutscenes. :v:

Yeah using the PlayStation button to suspend games is a reliable method that works across every title. How is that dumb?

I guess don’t do it if your console is vertical or something.

1440/60 4k/30, from what I can see. 1440p is plenty, though

^ oh yeah, I guess it’s 1440p upscale to 4K. But aren’t most titles that advertise 4K? Very few native titles.

Are there any requirements for the PlayStation collection besides owning a PS5 and subscribing to PS+? Because the store is still asking me to pay full price for Monster Hunter World.

That should be all you need. Try looking in the PS+ section of the menu not the store

The store/ps+ stuff is the clumsiest thing ever. Not only is the subscription service and all the tiers confusing, but the sub page and the store page are really confusing to navigate. It took me like 10 minutes to figure out how to download GoT with the sub.

Every time I went to the ps+ page I’d go to the ‘games’ section and it’d just serve me the ‘Must Play’ category. I had to search it and then choose the version and then it let me download it.

Does the ps+ service offer a discount if you want to buy games before they leave the service?

Congrats!

Forspoken is pretty fun, the writing and dialogue isn't great but at least it's not as like shrill and in your face as I feel like the later Borderlands games are for example. Doesn't tonally feel all that off from the spiders-man games I reckon. The bosses just hiss & roar instead of doing terlet puns at you

Ah, guess I need to do that from the console itself? I’ll try when I get home. Thanks.

Nope. Also have to leave the service before you can buy at full price.

So for PC players out there is it true that DualSenseX allows buttons to be remapped as keyboard macros? Because that would be pretty baller combined with paddles, profiles, and deadzone adjustment on the Edge.

Boy I'm sure glad sony said they were cracking down on trophy bait games, now to browse the store and..oh nevermind there's yet another loving jumping food game by that one rear end in a top hat, released two days ago

Their 'cracking down' was to default the New Games section to best sellers instead of most recently released.

Looking up Monster Hunter World through the PS+ tab on the PS5 dash did allow me to claim it for free, but hey it's kind of a poo poo interface to browse. So dumb that you can't access the catalog via the web-site or app like every other PS+ offering. I've actually looked up MHW a few times thinking I could get it for free, then thought I was mistaken when the site wanted me to pay. It wasn't until I saw it on the list of games being removed in May that I realized something was up for sure.

Anyway, cheers to haveblue for pointing out the intended method. Looking forward to finally dive into this.

QA has less power than you think and any "serious" changes will be outright discarded unless they specifically come up during playtests (at which point the dev bitches about the QA not raising that point)
