I've played through Last of Us like 4 times now but never below hard difficulty. I kind of wanna try it on easy/normal just to see if you get a crazy amount of materials/ammo.
I tried a bit of easy after playing through on hard, survivor, and grouned, and it was basically a completely different game. You have enough ammo to go in guns blazing, or you can just run past them.

Running past them is a pretty good technique that I picked up during my grounded run.

It's survivor mode that takes away the HUD and QTE prompts.

In the PS3 version, survior had no QTE prompts or listen mode but the HUD was still there. Grounded took away the HUD.

Been a while since I played Fez, but if I recall correctly you can only go so far without figuring out the language or using a guide. It's still fun up to that point, though. If you want to take a stab at the the language yourself, I think you should look for a classroom .

It seems like virtually everyone has the same opinion of Destiny that I do, but I came to that conclusion during the alpha.

I know everyone is excited for the new games coming out this week, but I just fired up BF4 for the first time in a while and got sucked back in. Online is smooth as butter and I had forgotten how incredibly hectic 64 player matches can be. I know there have been quite a few sales, and it is definitely worth picking up. I had no trouble finding matches.

Is BF4 actually playable now? I heard a bunch of horror stories about it before I got my PS4, and never ended up buying it once I finally got the system. Was looking at the new CoD today and thinking about how I wanted a good multiplayer shooter.

Yes, it is playable. As far as multiplayer goes, there's nothing like it on the system. There are tons of ways to be a useful teammate - you don't have to (and oftentimes shouldn't) focus on kill:death ratio.

Wow, two whole years.

BF4 is awesome and even if you are new (or are essentially new because you haven't played in weeks/months, like me) you can be a great asset to your team by sticking with your squad and focusing on the objectives instead of KDR. The multiplayer is fixed, but I heard the single player is still broken and you should back up your save to flash drive between missions. You shouldn't waste much time on single player unless you are bored (like I was) or absolutely LOVE generic shooter campaigns.

I keep flip-flopping on picking this up. How is the difficulty on it? Is it the kind of game where I can almost hold the accelerator down the whole race, crash a few times and still somehow win? Because that's what I like to do.

You might not always win, but so far the easy challenges have been very generous. It's basically a Burnout game.

I played P3P and P4G because people on the Internet made it sound like I was supposed to. It took me more than a year to beat P3P and probably less than a month to beat P4G.

Still hate anime bs, so some stuff was obnoxious, but I was able to look past a lot of it and the games are fun. I'm looking forward to P5, but I hope that cat is nothing like the robot chick or the annoying bear.

Edit: for people who have no experience with the series, the combat is Persona games is turn based, but there are some cool elemental/summon things (the personas) and combined attacks which make it feel fresh and fast paced. There is no shame in playing on easy mode, either. It significantly reduces grinding.

Edit2: P4G is kind of like Scooby Doo with some generic social commentary of varying quality that is optional and unlocked by spending time with designated friends. If you develop better friendships, then you can create more powerful personas.

Type-0 is supposed to suck. FF X is a good place to start, and Chrono Trigger and FF 6 are great if you want sprites. If you have access to a PS3 or Vita, then FF IX has probably held up the best of the three games from that generation. I think FF XIII is on PS Now, but virtually no one likes that game.

All of these games are probably a lot different than FF XV.
