Has anyone else suffered from motion sickness whilst playing TLOU?

It's the first time I've ever experienced this whilst playing a game.. Weird..

Are you playing on 60fps? 30fps? whichever one you're using maybe try switching it. Otherwise.... :shrug:

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?

This is going to sound really weird but both my PS3 and PS4 stopped outputting video signals to my tv at the same exact moment tonight, I played my PS3 for several hours, them my PS4 for several more past midnight, then turned the PS4 off and went back to the PS3 and no signal. Then tried my PS4 and no signal.

My PS plus subscription lapsed around midnight because I forgot to pay, so did Sony basically prevent me from turning on my consoles? They're working now, it seems.


Also, it kinda sucks that they won't let you use a PS plus promo code even after your subscription expires.

No, it was weird. Both systems stopped outputting video at the same time, separate HDMI cables. I restarted both several times and no video, even booted with the video reset trick. At that time I couldn't log in to my PS account on PC either.

20 minutes later, everything was back to normal.

Yeah, I don't know about you guys, but being 'old man gaming' myself...real-time shadows giving away someone's position in TLOU multiplayer is really impressive. I'm probably easily impressed, but I remember, like it was yesterday, having consoles that made my eyes bleed.

PS online in general is pretty pathetic. Sony has not transitioned into the online world gracefully. As much as I like PS4 it's really a joke with their endless stupid problems. 360 was better 7 years ago and thats why people bought 360's over PS3s for so long.

Nothing ever seems to work correctly. If nothing else Xbox felt stable.

My PSN works pretty drat well. Maybe I just have lowered online expectations from following Sony through PS1-4, or maybe I just play a lot of single player games.

Whatever the case, about the only thing that gives me nightmares to think about is the old firmware updates for PS3.

I honestly don't know if I should jump on the TLOU deal. In the one hand, it's TLOU. On the other hand, it's still $30 when I already have the original game and season pass, I have a bunch of other games to play, and I seriously wonder if this deal is just the first of several. I'd be pissed if I got it now and then next week the official store popped up with "50%-off TLOU, 66%-off TLOU for PS+ members".




Don't see it getting much cheaper. Oh, and season pass weapons/armor carry over to PS4.

I'm saying that I already own the DLC, as opposed to someone who only owns the original game and would therefore find the Remastered package more worth it.

I get that, but PS4 owners still have to purchase weapons if they didn't get the season pass. Remastered only comes with DLC maps.

Cross-buy if you bought the season pass. Are y'all gettin' me? perk/clothing/gun packs that were part of the season pass are not included for free in the PS4 version, unless you bought the season pass. The maps are though.

I only mentioned it because he was making a point as to PS4 owners getting a better deal and...bah...nevermind, it doesn't matter.

I think you may have misunderstood me still. I noted that I had the season pass as a pre-emptive response to the common argument I've heard - that "Remastered is a great deal even if you have the original PS3 game because it comes with the DLC too", which is moot if, like me, you also have the DLC.

I'm getting tired of pointing this out so I'll just shut up after this post.

THE PS4 VERSION DOES NOT COME WITH ALL PS3 SEASON PASS CONTENT. PS4 version is still a great deal, but if you're playing Factions (which is what I was talking about) then it comes up a little short.


Season Pass content that does not come with the PS4 version but is cross-buy from the PS3 season pass.

- The Survivalist Weapon Bundle: the Specter, Double Barrel, Enforcer, and the Launcher.
- The Situational Survival Skills Bundle: Agility, Awareness, Fortitude, and Scavenger.
- The Professional Survival Skills Bundle: Gunslinger, Bomb Expert, Executioner, and Damage Marker.
- Government Issue Bundle (clothes)
- Rally BundleEdit (clothes)
- Bygones Bundle (clothes)

And the Scoped Weapons Bundle is separate from everything.




So your season pass will still come in handy. :)

If you've gotten that far in those grids you should be able to play Laboratory and Nostalgia mode. They actually didn't show up for me until I clicked one of their achievements in the mission gallery.

If you don't meet the score threshold there's also an alternate unlock criterion that you'll get eventually from just playing (Collect X Eggs)

The Lab is pretty cool, way more chill than the standard game. Gotta say Pix the Cat is a bit more multifaceted than I originally expected.

drat, I really think I figured out Pix the Cat arcade mode. It just clicked.

- Don't rush through all the stages, spend more time perfecting each one (fewer mistakes)
- Fever, fever, fever. It's fine if you break fever by eating eggs out of order, but dont break it by stepping on your ducktail or ramming an enemy
- Get into Fever faster by dashing against walls, when the bar is almost at Fever you can just sit in a tiny room and turndash over and over, watch that score rise
- during Fever eat as many enemies as possible for those sweet 10k point boosts, some stages have as many as 6 dudes floating around!
- you cant eat spikeballs no matter what




Just broke 100,000 points. valleyofdoom, I'm coming for your score, mofo!





edit; I'm pretty sure Pix the Cat is one of the only 'hardcore' games I've played that only uses directions/no buttons...at least since Pac Man. The trophies are insane!

I would go as far as to say the TLOU MP DLC is lovely and not worth buying at all. It just spreads out your points allotment.

Haha, this is the craziest loving post.





Anyways, The Enforcer is amazing, and worth the price (especially silenced), perks like Agility and Bomb Expert are also worth the price. The scoped weapons can be skipped, I'd say, but I hear the Variable Rifle is pretty popular these days.

You can probably score most of that stuff for less than $15 total, and it all adds to the experience if you're dedicated to the MP. I got most of it with the season pass, but I probably would've bought it all regardless.

Wait, are goons trying to suggest if you don't buy the DLC MP addon weapons you are a scrub?

I mean, I guess if you are dedicated enough to the MP the extra weapons are probably more fun, but nothing worth investing over. Unless I am missing something huge?


I got the Plat and had no issue loving up people in mp. It is mostly communication, not any sort of shiny weapon you spend real life money on.



Literally nobody is saying that. The DLC adds fun and variety to what I consider the best MP experience out there. Trust me, though, I've destroyed many a pubbie using a Revolver as my primary weapon.

You know I think THIS post and the "Just let it go and enjoy the games, man!" posts are really counterproductive.

We DID survive, and we can still. We DO enjoy the games. Some people made a comment that they were hoping they meant "Suspend and Resume" MERELY because you know, it was something that was advertised before launch. No one said "PREORDER CANCELLED!" or "WHY HAS THOU FUCKETH ME, SONY?!!!"

This is no different than people wanting Pause and Resume Downloads, or Voice Chat Parties, or any other thing that may have been mentioned and then not released immediately.



People are so weird on the internet. It's like if someone has any interest in anything whatsoever, some dudes are all like "Whoa dude, just settle the gently caress down. Why isn't what you have just good enough for you?"



Nope, all I was implying was don't get your hopes up for that specific feature. If you look at what you just wrote you might find it all a bit reactionary. If that feature is implemented in the future, great. BUT, I'd say it's quite a bit more counterproductive to sit around waiting for/desiring/discussing a feature that looks like it's seen major sidetracking as of this moment. It IS actually a bit different than the other features you mentioned, and most people are starting to catch onto that with regard to Sony's silence on the matter.

Wouldn't PS4s shipping with HDs instead of SSDs be a major factor when we're talking about the speed and convenience savestates? Anyone with more knowledge is welcome to chime in. :)
