Probably a dumb question, but has there been any rumbling of porting Final Fantasy Tactics to PS4? It exists on just about every other platform. Really itching to play that again, but PS4 is my only console now.

Actually I may just be in the mood for a tactical RPG of any sort. I know PS4 is pretty fresh but I'm hoping we get some of those soon.

I haven't heard anything, but I would preorder a War of the Lions HD port for PS4 in a heartbeat.

It's really unfortunate that there aren't more games like it.

Marge, I'd like to be alone with the sandwich for a moment.

Are you going to eat it?

...yes...
So I walked downstairs and my PS4 was sitting there with the disc ejected and now it wont accept any more discs. It did this to me before like a month ago, and I don't remember how I fixed it (I think I just turned it off for awhile)

what the hell is this a thing? Do I call Sony for a replacement? I've only had the thing like 3 months.

I had this too. Fixed it by booting into safe mode (from off not standby: hold down the power button until it boots, 7 or so seconds) then select "restore database". That took some time but it fixed it for me.

You can now copy shared videos to a USB drive, so you can copy them to PC and upload to YouTube, just with an annoying extra step. Might want to update that in the FAQ.

YouTube sharing is also a planned feature this year so might as well update the couple of parts in the FAQ about that as well.

TLOU is the most frustrating game to play when you live in a little shoebox apartment with another person and never get time to play. I basically got to move a plank and a dumpster and walk a bit before I turned it off for the day, which was my first time playing this week, and now won't get to play again until next Thursday. And my wife's Instagram auto-played a video at full volume during the scene where (early spoilers) Tess reveals she's bit, which kinda ruins the mood.

gameplay wise, not that I know. but it is cross buy with a very well done cross save feature that basically autosaves each room. So you can play at home, take your vita to work and keep playing the same family tree and return to play it on ps4

Just tell me I'm exotic.
So I bought TLOU Remastered the other day. And it's been pretty wonderful at 60fps. 30fps feels like 15fps and it actually TAKES AWAY shadows instead of improving them. Oh, and photomode is awesome:





I also bought Bound by Flame. Oh my god the story, the voice acting, the conversation animations. They are all absolutely awful. You know when a game has bad lip sync when the lips move but the teeth are jammed shut.

But man the combat is so satisfying. It completely makes up for it. I've been doing nothing but Warrior Stance with flame weapon buff and going through it like that. Haven't died yet.

But by God that dialogue.

Me: "The captain wants to see you."
Him: "Oh poo poo!"

I think you already mentioned not liking the Gold headset but I find gaming headphones perfect for this problem, especially with TLoU. After my partner ruined a similarly important early game scene with iPad shenanigans, I threw on the virtual surround sound headphones and got lost in the game.

I'm pretty sure I'm legendarily bad at this game. I'm level 40 and not beaten a single boss or mini-boss. At least I can get 1000 or more gold per life now, finally. Was sick of 400 gold runs when my minimum upgrade was 450.

I'm level 40 and just barely beat the first one, so don't feel too bad.

edit: I keep expecting enemy levels to more or less correspond to the level you need to be to beat them, but that doesn't seem to be the case at all, unless I am missing something big.

edit: dwarfism rules for that first boss. Maybe the others too, but I haven't tried them yet.

I am in the same boat as you but I'm slowly getting better. You can eventually unlock the ability to make Charon take only MOST of your gold instead of all of it, and there's both equipment and runes that increase gold intake, plus an upgrade in the upgrade tree, so there's that.

I haven't but motion sickness while playing shooters is a common complaint/phenomenon I've heard over the years. It might just be the game does some weird effect that isn't jiving well with your head, which sucks but there's not a lot you can do about that other than change the FPS as someone mentioned.

Maybe when it gets cooler but right now I'm sweating in my place even with our weak-rear end AC. 75+% humidity makes the gold headset unbearable. I thought about turning on subtitles but it just seems so wrong in that game.

Got some more TLOU in tonight at the expense of sleep, but it's a holiday on Monday so gently caress it. Love the bow and arrow, is it possible to mainly use that or am I going to constantly run out of ammo?

It's really funny watching Youtube videos for the free PS4 PS+ games and reading the comments. If Sony hosed up PS+ in one way it was setting the bar so high on PS3, because it seems like every idiot feels like he's being robbed because the free games for the month weren't Watch Dogs and The Last of Us or something similar. Like, 2 15 dollar games a month is not enough to justify and $50 yearly sub that you also need to play online.

Also, Youtube commenters REALLY hate 2D games.

Unfortunately gamers are literally the worst/most entitled people ever. Ps+ wasn't a thing on the ps3 for like the first 4 years of its life right? Then the first year of ps+ was indies like we're getting now. It was slow to get up to stuff like watch dogs or bioshock infinite. We're ahead of the curve relative to ps3.

Give them an inch and they will take a mile I guess. Resogun and Outlast would have cost more than my $30 black friday sub but I guess it's the worst deal ever cause we keep getting these indies instead of two $60 game that just came out every month. "where are my 3d games PS4?!?!?"

Personally I think the offerings on PS4+ have been pretty drat good deal so far even if a few of them were sort of lame. more people complain about PS+ than anyone ever complained about XBL which cost more and offered nothing until they felt threatened by PS+ and decided to give out the bare minimum.

This space is reserved for future considerations.
Rogue Legacy just rubs in how Mercenary Kings ruined itself by having NES era insta-respawns for enemies.

Also, I'm psyched that where Castlevania has failed us, there seem to be plenty of games on the horizon/from 2014 that have similar feels: Rogue Legacy, Dark Souls II, Bloodborne, Hellraid, etc. I think I've actually seen a room straight out of Symphony of the Night in Rogue Legacy (a garden room with the moon in the background and a fountain on the bottom with undead horses running back and forth - Symphony had a similar one in the middle of the castle but the horses were skeletal.)
