A shitty post? This calls for a dance of deduction.

It generally improves over time but it is not close to worth a PS4 by itself. If there are several other PS4 games you think you'd get a lot of value out of, like bloodborne or destiny when the expansion comes out, then I'd consider getting the console. No game is worth an entire PS4 by itself unless you know you'll get 500 hours out of it.

I guess I can just go to Rent-A-Center.

But yeah outside of The Last of Us, Guilty Gear Xrd, and Persona 5 (what do all these three games have in common?), not really much interests me on the PS4 accept possibly Horizon. I'd try Bloodborne but found Dark Souls to be very boring.

Bloodborne is amazing, especially if you didn't connect to the Souls games up to this point.


VVVVV My mileage did vary. Played it for 200 hours. Not only is it the best game so far this year, but it's the best game I've played since June 2013 when tlou originally launched.

I haven't played any of the souls games and couldn't stand Bloodborne. A copy of it got passed around my work and nobody enjoyed it. YMMV, but I definitely wouldn't get a PS4 for it.

i'm assuming there's still some sort of goon community playing factions on PS4 - i've been playing a lot with some friends but they're not always on and willing

i'll probably be spending my hours with this until the destiny expac drops (and probably even afterwards) if anyone will play with a one dot straggler (gimme a break i started earlier this month) who's handy with the steel frontier rifle and has unlocked all but one of the non-DLC cowboy hats; psn a_cool_me

Yellowjournalism was talking about this video the other night and I honestly didn't know most of this stuff. Really wish I had known some of this before all of my bad habits were hard wired into me. The name tag thing is super useful though. I don't know if I'll be able to do some of those aiming tricks after playing for this long most everything in TLOU is muscle memory.

The molotov thing is super useful too.

That's a pro click, even if the guy is mega annoying. I've had people do the shoulder-swap or circle dance into and out of cover before and didn't know how they did it so well. I don't know if I'll be able to do that claw technique thing but it does seem really useful.

I basically make a "hang ten" hand sign and use the thumb on my right hand to switch weapons/inventory and use my pinky to hit o so I can have full range of movement while I switch inventory items.. I use my left thumb to go in my backpack since you can't move anyways. I didn't do it intentionally it just started happening after I got sick of stopping to change weapons. It's honestly saved my rear end more times than I can count.

I do that in a lot of games that have weapon/item swap mapped to the dpad :3:

When I think back at my career of throwing molotovs, I shouldn't be surprised...but man I've been throwing them wrong this whole time.

Logic would dictate that if hitting the ground around them would hurt them, that actually hitting them dead on would make it even more effective. V:)V

We were shaking off some rust from neglecting TLOU in favor of MGSV in a private match before going pubbie stomping. Snacky decided this was a good time to pick his butt. He was right.

Finally picked up the scoped weapon pack, the last dlc I didn't have. Are these guns just for people who can't do the third person aiming thing? The only one I found effective was the variable rifle but that might just be because I spent half the time not zoomed in.

The variable rifle is for cool dudes and the other 3 are reserved for the trash can.

Real answer I think they have a slight accuracy bonus, but screw aiming auto weapons in first person. I can't stand using them.

I play most weeknights but seem to be alone in preferring Supply Raid over Survivors. I've been playing with a charming pubbie Texan but it's always better with 4.

We are probably like 40% supply raid these days. Survivors will always be my jam, but this far in some variety is good.

I like supply raid when I'm testing out new builds, and survivors when I need to do poo poo around the house between rounds.

I like interrogation when I'm playing one-handed while jacking off.
