Recently picked up ACIV - Black Flag before finishing ACI and never having started II or even bought III.

Did I do a bad thing? I hate games where you HAVE to play the first 5+ before you play the one you just bought.

If it matters, it was $8 used from a local store.

I bought the fourth thing in a series, I hate so much that there would be three others that might have built to this point!!

For fidgety aiming stuff on gravity rush just swing your controller, I'm pretty sure that was on the ps4 version too.

I don't know if it went past the launch model but if you're just now buying one you might notice that the usb ports feel loose, this is intentional they work just fine and are less likely to be damaged if you go and yank out the cords or whatever.
This worried me right after I got mine but I swap usb devices around quite a bit and they've never given me any grief.

Also a logitech G930 is enough for anyone.

Less distractions on the ps4, most games are designed to be played with a controller these days anyway.

HDR actually is the better feature over 4k (wide color range is awesome) but it's completely dependent on your display. HDR video looks fantastic on a screen that supports it, and games probably would also look pretty drat good.

that was my personal transcript of what actually happened on the stream
im glad u enjoyed it

got out the tape measure. 55mm is the same height as current ps4.
twice the grooves in the same package. so effiecient

see thats not so bad, and it makes the ps4slim look even smaller
more grooves, more airflow maybe

i only really use my main ps4 for ffxiv, maybe ill give my backup ps4 away and put a ps4pro on the big ol tv in the living room
i have to see if it has hdr support though, i know it does some after processing poo poo but when you get a free mechanics special tv you dont read into it too much

Consoles still have the assumed benefit of plugging it in and being able to play a game without any thought, this is still true enough considering I get to talk people through computer repairs every week or so to get their games working again.

If your console is cooking itself anyway, and it's out of warranty, just take it apart and clean the dust out.

The Win10 crossover is really great seeing as how the consensus is 'one major console and a decent pc' . Buy a bluray drive for your desktop and a pspro for the price of scorpio.

You know how some people like doing new game +++++ in souls games? Bloodborne is like doing that grind, but as the base game, and the camera likes to clip into things sometimes. It's a safe space for people who never got over the whole victorian goth thing though.

e: I'm the 1% that loves all four souls games and replays them regularly but can't even be bothered to load up my just-past-Rom bloodborne save. It's tedious and I don't have that kind of patience anymore I guess.

My Bloodborne experience through like fifty hours on two characters has been clumsy camera, massive hit boxes on enemy weapons, and having to literally count off the timing to parry stuff as simple as gascoigne, which makes me wonder if I need to reinstall BB on my ps4 or something. Meanwhile Demons-DKS3 I end up running around in pants punching things to death and not getting hit by things that visibly missed me.
basically, everyone treats it like the second coming so mine must just be broken

Interesting. There are still a sizable group of people that rank UC2 over UC4. I personally think 2-4 are good-to-great games (reason enough to own a PS4). UC1 wasn't bad to me... and going back and playing it, its flaws stuck out more than when it first came out.

When things get supernatural in uncharted 1 it goes bad, I prefer the thin writing in uncharted 1 to the sloppy mess that is uncharted 4 though.
