I can see why Everybody's Golf has a budget price, it seems fairly barebones despite the 'you can drive around the course and fish!' stuff. I wouldn't mind so much but it seems like to try and disguise that there's only like five courses plus a couple of DLC ones they've made it take ages to unlock everything. Every time you go up in rank you get nine holes so you unlock a new course every two ranks, thing is one rank takes about six tournaments and three vs matches and it adds up. That said obviously I haven't been able to play online so maybe that'll make a difference but it looks like you can't play on courses you haven't unlocked single player....

caldrax posted:On this Uncharted talk. I have the vita game and it seems alright but it hasn't compelled me to keep going back to it obsessively. I also have the Drake collection on PS4, so, if I'm not totally enthralled with the vita one, should I still play it (I know it's a prequel) or skip it and move on to the other games. If I'm not loving the vita one will I still like the other games? (I loved The Last of Us, just for the record). I know this is one of those vague questions no one can really answer for anyone else but I thought someone might have some insight. the vita game is by far the worst uncharted, but if you already own them then just try them yourself? idk why you need someone to convince you when you already own the games

So I've finally found my way into Bloodborne. Enjoying it alot but holy poo poo this game is utterly impenetrable and the first few hours are awful because of it. Correction: not the first hour+ getting to the cleric beast. I mean the time between getting your first point of insight and realising that you need to farm for echoes and look up guides to hidden armour/weapons before having a decent chance of taking it on. Because speaking as a player new to the series, the amount of guides that give advice about how to defeat the cleric beast without any mention of how levelling up works or the existence of weapon durability or levelling up weapons or that doing these things might be useful rather than trying to kill the thing with starting armour and a broken cane are awful. Combine it with all the "git gud" and "its supposed to be hard" that surrounds the game/series and once you've opened the left gate its very easy to just slog away until you get frustrated. I understand that limited information is the hallmark of this series, but it feels needlessly harsh on new players.

On a brighter point: thanks so much to those who recommended Horizon Zero Dawn to me over Andromeda. Such a fantastic game - loved the combat and the story, and it's just beautiful.

Somewhat unrelated but I can't believe you were right about that huge-rear end patch. I just pre-ordered now and started the pre-load, started off at 8GB and I looked away, looked back and it was 14GB. Goddamn what's in that Day One!?

Correction: not the first hour+ getting to the cleric beast. I mean the time between getting your first point of insight and realising that you need to farm for echoes and look up guides to hidden armour/weapons before having a decent chance of taking it on. There are two approaches to this game (maybe 3): Slam your face and dick/pussy into a loving brick wall every 15-20 minutes until you either a) git gud or b) force quit the application and put on netflix or Do some research, or play with a guide handy, and just get comfortable with the mechanics until you are at a point where every new enemy isn't one-shotting you or surprising you. I tried to play Dark Souls the first way and realized that there was a totally incredible game world that felt unavailable to me because I was just constantly getting owned and losing all my souls. For Bloodborne, I started blind, got like 8 hours in and only had managed 5-6 bosses, then started over and beat the game with all 3 endings. The difference between "knowing anything at all" and "No Clue" is a huge margin in this game (and the whole series). Bloodborne became my favorite game ever in the last month, but I absolutely needed my hand held through my first playthrough. Now I'm on my 3rd character playing as a Wizard and I just BLAZED through it because now I know where everything is and what order to do stuff in. Literally no one on Earth gives a poo poo if you ask for help to play a fun game, and the ONLY reason Dark Souls is as popular as it is is because the fans joined together to share information and guide each other because the games themselves do not. Without the community to help itself get to the fun parts, no one would ever beat these things.

Does anyone remember that comic with the 3 different ways of playing Dark Souls, and the last one was just running in like an idiot and flipping out of the path of everything. These games are constructed to make you super cautious but it's all a ruse, full-throttle idiocy is the One True Path to success.

you dont need hidden armor or weapons to kill anything in the game and you dont need to farm for echoes unless you somehow burn through all your vials on a boss or something. put your points mostly into health and endurance at the beginning. the biggest tip for a newbie to the souls series i can give: dodge through attacks, not away from them. your i-frames will get you through safely and you will be in a better position to follow up with your own attack.

I'm still enjoying Titanfall 2 as my main MP shooter on PS4 but I was wondering how to check the playerbase for other games like Battlefield 4, 1 and so. I don't really dig the setting and how BF1 looks and while I played BF4 on PC over a thousand hours and I've been inactive on PC since October, I was wondering if PS4 has a good enough playerbase to justify getting it for cheap. I'm open for suggestions about other online shooters (that aren't call of duty). Edit: RS6 Siege seems that it keeps getting updates and there's an overall positive reception but I was wondering if it has any kind of campaign or something to add to the main mode wich is MP.

Samurai Sanders posted:I know it's every time but lol wtf America. The answer is, as always, dumb focus group and posturing bullshit from the marketing team desperately worried it won't sell. "Okay, so we can't have it be Everybody's Golf because we can't have any of that pinko commie poo poo, make it something more action packed and dramatic. Oh and get rid of the young girls, that might alienate our core demographic, replace them with muscular men and maybe throw a lady in there who cares." And that's before getting into the scenery changing with the dead trees and rough grass, or the subtitle. You could write a paper on all the changes in that cover and what it says about marketing in the US.

Bloodborne probably has the most brutal initial learning curve of any of them. The good news is that you can rest assured that once you beat gascoine you can take on pretty much anything in the game. It's kind of a trial by fire and it works but I see how it's where a lot of people just give up.

I completely get this and now I'm on the other side its ok, but I think my main issue was that I kept on thinking it was a test of skill long after it actually became something you can grind to help with. It wasn't so much the difficulty, it was that it didn't tell you the ways to alleviate that difficulty, and even the guides I used did a lovely job on that front too. Like I said, over the hump now, but if I hadn't been told over and over what a great game it was by people I trust/respect the opinions of I wouldn't have had the endurance to get through it.

Re: the Witness. I have finished enough areas to open the the locked box on top of the mountain. Do I beat the game if I do, or does it lead into the endgame? I've heard the game doesn't let you continue of you beat it so I'd just like a 'yes' or 'no'. I've beaten 360 panels so I've still got some ways to go if I want to finish them all. I'll probably skip the "environmental" shapes. I've found around 20 and finding them all sounds tedious.
