If it takes you more than 5 seconds to find the game you're looking for then there is something wrong with you. I think what would have been nice would be if Sony had like, finished putting together their UI and all the features they talked about pre-release before putting out their product instead of rushing it to market not even half done just so they could beat Microsoft to the punch. Also let me uninstall the Playroom that I'm never going to use, as well as all the icons for the video apps besides Amazon and Netflix.

I'm one of those people and I really can't imagine going back to Borderlands after playing Destiny. The gameplay is that much better and Blands was always kind of a slog anyway. I guess I'll be looking forward to the Telltale Borderlands game though!

So uhh, I've been playing Diablo 3 and I just noticed that the maps don't seem to stay cleared? Is this an intentional thing, and if so, loving why? It's really killing my desire to play unless I know I have several hours to set aside for exploring. What sense does this kind of mechanic make at all? I'm not talking about respawning enemies, I'm just talking about the fog of war on the map.

Neo Rasa posted:That said, it is pretty stupid that it's EVERY map. The dungeons of course are randomized but the overworld and towns are not. Just what entrances are available for cool extra stuff changes. It's a really poo poo system for people that want to play little bits at a time, that's for sure. e: I guess I don't see why they don't just randomize when you finish the game and start over with a new character or start a new game plus. Do people in the middle of a playthrough really go back and trudge through slightly different maps of areas they've already cleared?

tolaziforname posted:I don't understand your complaint... you can get to the next waypoint on every map in twenty minutes MAX if you explore every inch of fog of war, then when you pick it up next you have that waypoint which allows you to pick up literally where you left off as long as you dont exit in the middle of a map or something. Uh, no, not really. Certainly on the dungeon maps but definitely not the over world ones. Also it would be nice if the game had explained how this stuff works at some point. And like one of the posters above pointed out, the implementation of randomly generated content makes things seem really halfassed. Especially when it comes to map design and blue item names.

Zedsdeadbaby posted:DrNutt I don't think you get Diablo. You miss the point of its genre. If you don't like it, and don't gel well with the mechanics of the game that literally every ARPG has, then you don't like it. The game is literally about doing the same thing over and over again with slight differences each time. It's understandable that some would seem turned off by it though. Most play it for the gambling slot-machine feel, which doesn't necessarily push the buttons in everyone's brain. I guess? I liked both Van Helsing and Dungeon Siege III a lot and I thought I would enjoy Diablo since it's supposed to be the gold standard for the genre. I really am enjoying the gameplay, I just feel a lot of pressure to keep playing constantly so that I don't have to trudge back through crap I've done already the next time I turn the game back on.

MMD3 posted:Yeah, just did the devil walker and sepkis prime and can confirm that that was terribly poor design. Both of the fights took us like 20 minutes per attempt (died a few times on each right near the end every time). We were playing with a level 7 pubbie who may not have known what he was doing too much but we were 8 and 9 with decent guns. It just came down to way more health than it needed to be, it stopped being fun and started being just a slog, other than the healthy the encounters would have been a lot of fun I thought. If it took you twenty minutes you are either a) exaggerating or b) didn't actually have decent guns. They reduced the health quite a bit from the beta.

I can see why other people find the humor and references of SR 3/4 to be extremely grating, but as someone who grew up in the 80s and early 90s they scratch a very particular itch for me. If I had been drinking milk during the strip club scene where Simply Irresistible started playing, it would have surely come spraying out of my nose.

Szurumbur posted:I don't know if my standards are ridiculously low or am I just lucky, but I had never had any complaints about my PS3 or PS4's wi-fi, same with the Vita. Then again, the first time I was downloading from GOG.com I was amazed at the lightning quick 900 Kb/s speed, so maybe I'm behind the times when it comes to technology. It's because you're not a sperglord. The speeds you get over the PS4's Wi-Fi are more than capable of playing online games fine with no lag. I imagine the issue most people have has more to do with download speeds. It is kind of an issue when games routinely come out and are 30-50 gigs but they do preloading now so... Wi-Fi away if it makes you happy.

fozzy fosbourne posted:Yeah, I've seen trailers. I guess what I mean by weird is more Hideo Kojima weird and less Saw weird. Like, Resident Evil 4 had that weird Napoleon looking freak, giants, pretty ordinary villagers, and a giant crocodile and stuff like that mixed in with the butcher aprons and what not. The footage I've seen of Evil Within has more flayed bodies, butcher aprons, and people with clown masks and stuff. Things just look gorier and grodier, like a game equivalent of the Theon scenes from Game of Thrones or something. The goofy weird stuff in Resident Evil 4 made it a much easier pill to swallow for me than some of the Silent Hill games or other horror games that played it straight. It's worth noting that none of that super weird stuff in RE4 was really present in the marketing.

But it's also been about a week since I've had any of those issues pop up. The point stands that Destiny's online launch was relatively painless and I don't really think it's Bungie's fault that the PSN is apparently hot garbage.

So I played through the first little bit of The Evil Within (basically just a little bit before you get some cinematic main titles), and I think it's going to be good. Tone wise, it kind of feels like Shinji Mikami wanted to put an RE4 spin on Silent Hill, and the art direction and aesthetics to come out of that are fantastic. Having said that, I think my criticisms of this title are probably going to fall on the technical side of things. The black bars are the biggest issue I see at the moment, because it feels like rather than using them to provide a cinematic aspect ratio, they're just hiding stuff on the top and bottom of the screen. In fact, they made it difficult to see an item I need to progress past the first puzzle and seem to frequently hide interaction icons, which can quickly lead to death in a game like this. I really hope this is something that can be addressed in a patch at some point, but considering they couldn't lock the game down to 30 fps even with the lower resolution I'm not super hopeful. Looking forward to getting more time to play tomorrow but so far have not been let down in the creepy dudes with chainsaws department.

It's worth noting that the biggest problem with the black bars in TEW isn't one of aesthetics, it's that they obscure poo poo off screen that you need to see, like interaction markers and even occasionally items. Really frustrating.

PantsBandit posted:Yeah it really sounds like even the people that say they like Evil Within are sort of forcing themselves to like it. Every post I've read is like "it's fun! Except for the terrible checkpoints, low framerate, frustrating deaths, and so-so graphics." So-so graphics don't really have anything to do with fun, and the frame rate isn't any worse than most games from last gen. There are certainly some criticisms to be made but that doesn't mean people are forcing themselves to have fun with it. I mean everyone here loves TLOU and that's about as unfun a gameplay experience that I can imagine so fun is apparently a pretty drat subjective thing. See also Destiny.

Honestly neither one of those games are worth trading Destiny in for but whatever floats your boat. There are going to be a gazillion new titles out in the next few weeks so you could be patient and not was your time on garbage (WatchUNDERSCOREDogs) or a game that performs terribly and costs about forty bucks too much to begin with.
