Apparently if you preorder Div Original Sin 2 on PSN you can play it now, up to the end of the first chapter : devs say that is up to 30 hours of play. Anyone here doing that? I wanna know how the port is.

I’m glad Spider-Man and RDR2 are coming out within two months of each other because it means I’ll have had my fill of AAA fast-paced acrobatic intense gaming and be ready for the more atmospheric, slow-paced style of RDR.

I already have Kiwami 2 and Shenmue 1/2 pre-ordered and I'll probably add Smash, TWEWY and RDR2 to that list I'm so glad that I have Best Buy GCU through June of next year edit: The PS4 is my first Sony console and it's rapidly becoming my favorite, but I still give the sentimental edge to the Dreamcast curried lamb of God fucked around with this message at 23:31 on Aug 9, 2018 |

Sorry if this has been answered before, but I tried Googling and couldn't find an answer: Are PS Vue accounts linked to PSN accounts? If I had a Vue subscription, but never used it on my own PS4, could my housemate sign into my Vue account on his PS4 while still logged in under his PSN account?

PS4 slim and pro are by far the best looking of the Playstations. PS3 Fat and Superslim are ugliest, PS2 fat third ugliest. But at least the PS2 had a flat top so I could rest games on top of them, unlike any PS3. PS2 slim was actually nice because it was so thin that most of the ugly ribbing was gone. PS1 well, at least it was symmetrical and clean but it felt the cheapest.

Also, I'd might as well ask here: are OLEDs fine for gaming or is burn-in a real issue? I'm going to buy a TV around the time of Black Friday and the LG C8 is my top choice, but I'll go for an X900F if it's a better choice. I don't really watch much TV besides sports, so I'd use it 90% of the time with my PS4 Pro and Switch

So after playing Just Cause 3 for awhile I'll just say this: The game is definitely good but it's nowhere near as good or fun as JC2. It feels like they really lost sight of what made that game a true masterpiece. It's not like I wanted the same game but they changed way too much, almost always for the worse. I did many replays of 2 but can't see myself ever replaying 3 after I'm done. Fight me. This makes me extremely apprehensive about Just Cause 4; I think there's true potential for them to completely ruin the franchise if they keep moving things in the same direction.

Samuringa posted:God of War: They're setting up a lot of stuff in these first bits. I'm guessing the man who attacked Kratos was Loki, given the frost attacks and generally being a cocky jerk and the the interesting part wasn't just Atreus being Kratos' son but also "Faye", which might be a nordic deity I am not aware of(A nickname for Freiyja?). Kratos also wields the Axe but didn't know it was crafted by Brok and his brother? Interesting.  Please update us as you play through the game

I'm skipping both RDR and Spider-Man for now. My interest in open world games is very limited, and I'm tired of the formula and Rockstar's writing for that matter. And I have a massive backlog anyway... Anyway, I own all of Sony's console and have enjoyed them all. The lack of character action games on the PS4 is a crime though. Thankfully, God of War and later DMCV rectify that to some extent.

Hopefully I can knock a few more games out before Red Dead drops. I probably won't get Spiderman right away, if at all. Is anyone else getting We Happy Few? I pre-ordered it because Best Buy had some price glitch on it a while ago so I'm getting it for like $35, but it's getting less than stellar reviews...

DrNutt posted:Gonna be some hard choices for me this fall, my budget and schedule isn't going to allow a ton of games and there's just off the top of my head: Spiderman, Yakuza Kiwami 2, RDR2, AssCreed Odyssey, all of which are massive loving games. Ill probably hold off on Odyssey as AssCreed games are always the worst in terms of how they perform day 1, but all of these plus Hitman 2, D:OS2, Spyro, NBA2k19 and then I dumbly bought Watch Dogs 2 for 17 bucks in the aussie winter sale along with resubbing to PS+ to redownload Mafia 3. I have a 500gb solid state hdd which I honestly might have to upgrade to 2tb cause I hate juggling hdd space. I uninstalled Arkham Knight from my backlog to clear space and also cause Im saved at some tank battle that is the least tolerable thing ive played in a game for a long while. Im caught in a Naval battle in AssCreeds Origins on my way to Ceasar in the story and that might end up giving it the boot too cause the game world isnt really novel anymore and the missions just arent challenging at all. People always talk about nostalgia for the older generations but my parents had to be pretty tight with money and and didnt really understand or like video games so it was pretty challenging to get more than one game a year, maybe two games if I was extremely lucky. I basically relied on borrowing games from friends and demo discs, or dipping a few generations back with emulators. I played the demo level of one of the Spyro games so many times over and over as a kid without ever getting a chance to play the full game and thats something I wanted so much that I honestly might have an emotional episode playing the remastered trilogy. I understand people feeling the pinch in their wallet and laughing at Day 1 purchases and preorders but its always a little "gently caress yes. i made it." moment whenever I throw down the money on a game i want to play right away.

Yakuza 0 just made my body hurt from laughing at the goofiest joke I’ve ever read in a video game. The substory involves working with none other than the director of the worldwide smash hit movie Indian Jeans. I can’t believe they did this. It’s too perfect. The entire producer story is beautiful in every way.

There's something absolutely weird about the model said director gets. I don't know it it's intentional or not but he just has this constant super intense but also dead eyed stare and it just adds to everything already in that scene.

I reached Alfheim and the way both the Dwarves and Kratos talked about Faye I retract my guess that she was Freyja, but as they keep mentioning "warrior" and one that specifically knew the dangers that they would face on their journey and prepared both accordingly, I'm taking a wild guess that she was a Valkyrie. Also, Atreus has been mentioning being sick far too much for it to not be relevant, and I'll take another wild guess that it has to do with two deities from different pantheons procreating and the physical body not being able to withstand the dissonance. Stray Thoughts: Jormungandr helped us on our journey, and as one of the catalysts of the Ragnarok I guess there's going to be a lot of godkilling in this one. The portal to Jotunheimen was closed, meaning something notable happened to the Ice Giants. The simple answer would be that the pantheon genocided them, but as every single race has been at arms against each other I'm guessing that they closed their borders to prepare an assault on Asgard or Midgard. Atreus reading the runes are going to be a plot point at some instance of the game, but I can't quite remember if there was a Nordic God dedicated to deciphering or compiling knowledge. He also couldn't understand what Jormungandr said but he felt his intentions, so it' goes deep.

Ahh, okay. I hadn't turned any subtitles on when I played through so I was thrown off by the reference to Loki at that point. Loki is a major character in the game for sure.

One thing about RDR I remember is it was released in a May 2010 sandwich between Alan Wake and Alpha Protocol, all good games. Was the shortest timeframe for me playing new releases back to back. This fall may give it a run for it's money we'll see.

Something I really enjoyed about God of War was I, like many American children, had a bunch of bullshit busy work around greek mythology growing up, on top of my being a big Harry potter-like dweeb, so i knew all the locales and characters and monsters beforehand. I know next to nothing about Norse mythology so I finally got experience this immersive fantasy culture without having any ideas about who was supposed to be good or bad.

It looks woeful and has for the last 4 years. Someone else said they were interested in it recently and I really can't figure how it's even got this far in development without the team working on it deciding to pack it in because they also finally realised it looks poo poo. PS+ mafia 3 is much appreciated, it's been on my radar for a while but I wasn't confident dipping in. I think I'd have been disappointed if I'd bought it, but I'm enjoying it so far. It's pretty loving hard though, death comes quick and often unannounced.

One thing I discovered about Mafia 3 is they have news reports that play between songs, and it's depressing as hell because they are often things that would be just as at home in 1968 as they are in 2018. Like I heard one that was about two black teens who got killed when they went up to someone's house for help with a flat tire. Jesus Christ.  Also, I've found medium difficulty not too challenging but it's because the stealth mechanics are so easy to use that I basically silently kill my way through every encounter. If you're dying a lot, make sure when you get the choice of which district to go to, go to the one with Vito because you will unlock the ability to have someone come pick up your extra cash. That way you don't lose half when you die.

I'm early doors but I was trying to play mafia 3 like a 'stealth for a bit, get spotted, gently caress it start a gunfight' but I'm finding those outrageous to get my way out of. Also seems like either respawning enemies or a lot of places pack an unreasonable number of bad guys in. I'll go full stealth next time I play it, it does seem like if I was patient it would be easier.

Just be aware that, like the earlier GoW games the story is definitely of the 'What if the gods were the bad guys?' variety. The gods definitely do some bad poo poo in the stories but they were always meant to be the good guys, and the frost giants (usually) the bad. The neat thing is that GoW mostly gets the stories right, but they're told from a different perspective. Thor being a brutish rear end in a top hat was often played for laughs. I'm a little miffed GoW butchered the 'Thor's hammer gets stolen' story - Neil Gaiman's version of it (from his book Norse Mythology) is one of the funniest things I've read this year.
