FireMrshlBill posted:Since people want Smart TV talk, how is the input lag on the KS8000 when using HDR? Seems a lot of TVs introduce a lot since they require you to be in a movie setting rather than game setting. Was hoping to wait for the OLED's to drop to the $1500 range in a few years, but just bought a house and the 40" I have for the basement is going to be too small. May go for a 65" KS8000 or the like (though would prefer something in the 70" range). I have no problem doing well in FPSes etc with the KS8000 in regular, non-game mode. I dunno why you'd buy a fancy new tv and then make it look like poo poo by turning on game mode. I agree with the "Bloodborne is good for people who hate themselves" sentiment.

Oh I forgot why I came to post here with all the new thread excitement. I just got a notice from Amazon saying Sony has not provided any Platinum headsets. They intended to ship today.ethanol posted:Try using a mouse in game mode vs not game mode Works fine?

I'm lucky to have a car share that allows me to use SUVs that fit my 65" TVs. Cheaper than delivery and the only way I could get a ks8000 for super cheap on black Friday. My surround speakers and equipment (Onkyo ht-s7800) was even worse. Much heavier and the size of half a fridge.

Finally giving the bf1 campaign a shot, on hard mode to boot. That flying segment  Didn't expect this to be the best single player dogfighting game I've played. Best looking, too, by a mile.I seriously think BF1 is my 2016 goty. And a true contender for "this is why you need a pro" since I thought it was too sluggish on my og.

Sioux posted:Yeah the flying segment was awesome. I finished the game on hard mode and most of it was pretty doable. However, I can't believe how many field manuals and codex challenges I missed. I'm a player who goes out of his way to open every chest and enter every building. Part of me wants to finish them in easy mode just to get the Plat, but another part of me can't be arsed. I am considering a platinum (something I never do unless it's easy... and those codexs look like a bitch) but I just accidentally did the Italy mission on normal. gently caress! Wish I could just choose a difficulty and stick with it.

Finished bf1 campaign on hard. Some meh missions after the great flying one, runner one was terrible save for the kiwi line, and really did not expect an almost exact copy of V to break out there, minus the flying fists. Currently listening to a great rendition of waltzing matilda in the credits. I'm homesick for Oz

White people under 30 don't live here anymore and would definitely not have rooftop video game parties on one of the few days that it isn't raining. The basketball court under the bridge is pretty great though.

Those remakes are my most-anticipated exclusive after Knack 2 People's reaction to a Crash remake is as puzzling as people getting genuinely excited about a Knack remake 10 years from now.

acksplode posted:Mario 64 should get maybe a little credit for being the first good 3D platformer ever? That's not a small feat. It came up with so many control innovations that we take for granted now. Yeah the camera controls suck these days, but it had camera controls. It singlehandedly proved why analog sticks are required for 3D games. I vividly remember running around in the starting area in front of Peach's Castle and being amazed at how Mario controlled. Yep, just like Halo and console FPSes. Doesn't seem like much now because everyone since has copied it. I never had an n64 but just seeing/playing it in stores blew me away.

Neddy Seagoon posted:To be fair, PSVR is for all intents and purposes a new console and stuck with the usual launch year dearth. Nevermind it being VR, which is still a fairly nascent field of game design that studios are only now starting to develop for. The real telling factor will be this year's e3. I meant like full games with varied gameplay that don't make you feel barfy. RE7 looks promising but horror games can't really be system sellers since so many people can't stand them.

I keep wanting to see something cool in Ghost Recon (used to be one of my fav series) but everything looks so derivative. Like I know Ubisoft loves to reuse assets but I can't even see anything that hasn't already been in one of their other games. Also I think Ubi has made it mandatory to have a small camera drone in every game. Even Steep had one.

I just gave up on most of my backlog and traded in dishonored 2, FF15, Madden 17 and cod since no one on SA Mart wanted them and I was never choosing to play them. Got RS Siege year 2 with the PSN credit but can't think of anything else. Almost got last guardian used but eb games wanted $63 cdn and I could have got it new from Amazon prime on release day if I wanted to pay that much.
