Speaking of Gravity Rush, what's the difference between Gravity Rush and Gravity Rush Remastered? Is it just better PS4 graphics, or is there enough added content to justify buying the PS4 version for twice the price of the Vita version?

I only played the PS4 version but from what I understand it's the same game + the DLC all bundled in so as far as content there's no difference. It definitely feels like a game more suited for playing on a console than on a handheld to me though.

It has all the dlc and they got rid the Vita gimmick controls but other than that it's the same game. If you don't have either, it's the version to get though.

I was looking forward to the remaster...but the Grim Fandango remaster wasn't all that impressive and the Full Throttle remaster seems to ... it's like they rounded every pixel and really emphasized the border and so it looks more like Dexter's Laboratory. The Out of This World / Another World was another remaster that was...fine, but ruined the aesthetic by adding a bunch of detailed backgrounds to what worked best as a beautiful, minimalist game. The Day of the Tentacle remaster is EXCELLENT and you can switch between old and new graphics on the fly.

Considering they haven't shown anything from Spider-man since last E3, I'd be shocked if it came out this year.

Somewhat related, does anyone have an opinion as to whether or not the DLC for the original Nier worth buying? I have an American copy coming soon and I'd need to create a US PSN acc to buy it, I'm in the EU.

It's been a while since I played it, but it's a bunch of combat levels with very vague narration from the diary of Papa Nier's dead wife. The last level is definitely the most difficult combat challenge in the game, for what it's worth. I'd say it's probably worth about $5, maybe $10 if you're feeling particularly affluent, but certainly nothing vital to the experience.

I stay up later than my roommate. We watch stuff together every night and then she goes to bed and I play games. Suspend is completely worthless if I have to take the disc out and put it back in every day.

Solution: Buy games digitally. That's an option for literally every game that exists on the PS4. Glad I could help! Physical games that don't require the disc to play aren't possible without proto-Xbone-style always online bullshit - otherwise you could just install the game and then return it to the store within an hour, without losing the ability to play the game. We've been over this!

No poo poo? People, including me, said we buy games digitally because swapping discs is inconvenient. Then we got made fun of for being lazy. Then I pointed out how it was inconvenient and... You told me I should buy digital? Becuase of the reason that came up as my reason for buying digital? holy poo poo! What a coincidence!

So after watching the goon inspired(?) video on bloodborne, and having never touched a dark soul game, I'm going to grab the game today Any tips to know starting out?

just run past things until you get to the lantern (it's up a ladder you need to drop) because you don't start with a weapon the hunter's axe (one of the starting weapon options) can cheese the group encounters. weapons have 2 forms that you can swap between by pressing l1; in the hunter's axe's extended form, you can hold r2 for a charge attack that hits everything in a circle around you and will knock anything about your size down. I know some people have a lot of trouble dealing with the big groups in the first area and this can let you get past them pretty easily

Don't button mash. Make each button press serve a purpose. Use lockon. You can't pause. Don't die because you opened a menu and wandered off.

Tiny Chalupa posted:So after watching the goon inspired(?) video on bloodborne, and having never touched a dark soul game, I'm going to grab the game today The cane is stylish, but also seems to be the most difficult weapon to get used to for new players. There's an item in the first area that lets you purchase all of the starting weapons though - you can potentially find it before even fighting a single boss. On the other hand, if you're not really feeling your starting weapon, it might be faster to just start over. Any items you pick up past your carry limit are sent to the storage box in the main hub area - blood vials and bullets are automatically replenished from there when you die/teleport, though other items are not, which is a bit silly. Parrying is rad and stylish - rally/regain is cooler than you think it is. Don't spend points on Arcane on a first playthrough unless you find a weapon or tool that you want to use, and which has a higher Arcane requirement than you currently meet. Don't spend points on Bloodtinge in a first playthrough - it's mostly for making guns deal more damage, as well as two melee weapons that you can't get until like, halfway into the game, even if you know exactly where to look.

Oh. Put all your first few levels into health. Like your first 5 levels. edit: v oh yeah, buy blood vials. Like, all your spare change should go into blood vials. And sometimes bullets. What I usually do is spend 2/3 of my spare echoes on vials, and the rest on bullets. Lots of people say it's dumb to buy bullets at all, given the blood bullets exist, but when you're an inexperienced player, you tend to use ALL of your vials for healing, so... I don't think it's dumb. That said, use blood bullets when you can. Snak fucked around with this message at 19:22 on Mar 22, 2017 |

Almost forgot - spend any leftover echoes on blood vials after you level up. This will go a long way towards preventing you from running low when you encounter a situation or boss that takes you a bunch of attempts.
