PS now is close, but not quite there, to being worth the cost. They need to sign a few more publishers, add in PSOne and PS2 classics and I might just jump on board.

Id use my free trial for demons souls. Probably

How is the Godzilla game for PS4? A local shop has it at discount on 20 bucks and I'm sorely tempted to buy it.

its not good.

graphics are bad, playcontrol is slow and awkward, level design and variety is terrible BUT they have all the creatures you care about if you are a real godzilla fan and its fun for probably 8-10 hours before you realize how much grinding you'd have to do to advance through the upgrade trees.

if you actually do put like 20 hours into doing the same poo poo over and over again you will unlock enough abilities to make godzilla actually fun to use and more in line with standard brawler mechanics but for some reason the devs decided to lock all the decent moves behind collecting huge amounts of randomly dropped mats.

if you like godzilla it is worth 10-20 bucks if you don't like godzilla don't get it.

How is ESF 4.1 compared to 2017 on the 360? Is still as satisfying to blow a giant spider away with a shotgun?

there are 4 character classes to choose and the frame rate never becomes a slide show so its a much better experience but you never get the michael bay slow motion explosions that the older games would create when the console got overwhelmed

Wild Arms 3 is going to come out on ps4 soon but i'm tempted to check out the original for 2 dollars now unless your guys think it didn't age well or something. i have a real problem with buying and not playing more than a few hours of ps1 rpgs

Xenogears is playable on vita, psp, and ps3 and actually i find its graphics to be pretty charming vs. other games from the time.

I'll probably skip WA then and just get WA3 in a couple weeks/months when it launches for emulation

One last question: SotN only shows up in the ps3 section and not in the vita section of the sale - is it one of those rare "must have a ps3 to play it on vita" games or is it just another psn oversight? thanks

Harlock posted:

I continually cross my fingers for PS4 to support PS1 games. It should be a no brainer.

me too but the way they did ps2 games makes me think there's no way they would just flip that switch for us. they obviously want 1. money and 2. all their games to utilize the ps4's features like shareplay.

gonna reask since i had the last post on the prev. page,
symphony of the night only shows up on the ps3 page in the sale and not the vita page (breath of fire and few others are doing this as well) - can i download it straight to my vita or do I need to do the ps3 middleman thing with it?

How is Valiant Hearts? Does it have any gameplay or do you just walk right and press buttons? It looks interesting, at least.

Its an adventure game with puzzles to solve for progress and light action segments here and there. The story is pretty good but i only played half of it because other games are better

Phantasium posted:

I don't know about 2, but the first game, whenever it would hide your HUD there would be a tiny line of garbage about where the HUD ends normally. It appears whenever there's dialog or when cutscenes play. It's not really too bad but it's noticeable if you've played the original.

yeah its the same thing. its much much less frequent than in 1 but i've seen it about 5 times in 3 hours

MisterAlex posted:


And yes, you're right. Selling game licenses through the PSN Store involves almost no overhead, so using a high price on a second-hand disc as justification for digital pricing is a flawed argument. The only thing that really matters is at what price point they'll make the best profit (i.e. what consumers are willing to pay). If folks don't buy a product, the price will (theoretically) go down until it is accepted by consumers.

the only thing that matters is how much it costs to obtain and play dark cloud 2 and your choices atm are 50 or 11 dollars, nerd

Holy poo poo, three things on my wishlist - Flower, Hohokum, and Guacamelee - are super cheap now. How's Rogue Legacy?

it really nails rogue-lite progression in a great way but the actual runs you go on aren't the best examples of platforming, 2d action, or whatever other genres it takes from. its an addictive game though so a lot of people can look past it being fairly clunky feeling to play

Real hurthling!
Sep 11, 2001




Awesome! posted:

i liked the idea of rogue legacy more than actually playing it. after like an hour youve seen all their prefab rooms

That was my first experience. Its also easy to gently caress yourself by buying things that dont help you that much so my first run was a disaster. A couple months later i went back because of the praise the game got and played up to the 4th boss. I like the game now but i had my fill. Lotta people are on ng+ 7 or whatever though. It hooks some people.

Look is not often inverted by default in games unless you are on 360 and set it as a system option. As long as it has a toggle im happy. Too many indie 1st person games shipped without it recently
