Why are the final fishing side-quests in FFXV so hard?! It's like I need to be psychic in order to know when the fish is going to change direction otherwise I lose about 100 durability on my fishing line. :argh:

Don't reel, at all, if your controller is vibrating. That's pretty much the only way you can prevent getting huge chunks bitten out of your line's vitality.

Even then it's an uphill battle. I caught one of the top-end fish with literally 2 hp left on my line.

Just got the fish at Galdin Quay - took me nearly 7 minutes to reel him in and only had about 200 durability left - satisfying as gently caress though.

Idgi did people hate the PS3 controller or what.

A lot of people have the problem of using analog sticks with their thumb knuckle joint and not the tips, which leads to a lot of complaints when trying to make the transition from an XBox controller to a Dualshock where the two sticks are obviously much closer.

You know when people complain about the free games that come with PS+ ?
Nintendo just announced that the Switch will have paid online but as a bonus you'll get a...free Nes/Snes game...that expires after a month. Lmfao

As someone that only owned one sony console before the PS4 (a PSP fat and then the first slim). What are the chances on getting a Monster Hunter tittle for the PS4?

That depends if Capcom makes a MH title for the Switch - they'll have no choice but to use HD assets for a Switch version which means it can probably get ported to PS4 pretty easily.

the game will of course be total crap with no content though because of having to start from scratch and its modern capcom we're talking about.

Isn't there some China-exclusive MH MMO that actually has really nice graphics?

Nioh is so loving good. Everybody play the demo if you like bloodborne or souls at all, its really cool. Definitely feels like Team Ninja doing their Ninja Gaiden thing but building it in the framework of a souls game, and it works fantastically.

The combat feels even more lethal than dark souls, but you have so many more combat options. Fighting just feels so intense.

Very much feels like I'm experiencing dark souls 1 all over again and I'm in love.

I would love to, but i'm currently re-installing the demo. There has to be something wrong for the game to crash 5 times at the title screen.

PS4, and space is not an issue. It makes no sense either cause it worked fine when I first played it, but then I turned it off to take a break and that's when it refused to work.

I just realized that the only 3D (in a movement sense) fighter on the PS4 right now is DOA5. How did that happen? Are 3D fighters that out of fashion?

Tekken 7 is coming sometime this year, but yes, 3D fighters just aren't as popular as 2D fighters.

Guys, it's like you've never heard of a Day 1 patch before. I bet that clip was full of bugs that passed certification because they can be patched out in between when it went gold and when release day is. Not that I think it absolves that mess, but I feel like it's within acceptable levels of jank for a game that hasn't come out yet.

I wasn't even paying attention to the jank - I was too busy being appalled by the garbage voice acting that sounded like it came out of RE1.

It'll be interesting to see if Nioh has the same staying power as the souls games.

From what I played of the demo it definitely has enough variety in character builds and movesets to compare to Fromsoft's games, and the gameplay itself definitely has the "Souls" feel. It should do just fine.

Am I crazy for wanting my first PS4 Pro game to just be TLoU Remastered? I know it's a kind of clunky 3rd person shooter, but except for MGR:R it's literally the most fun I've playing vibeo games in years and it's only $20 bucks, and I'm not looking to drop $60 bones immediately after dropping $400, especially since I know Nioh and Horizon aren't going on sale anytime soon and I'm going full digital/exclusives only.

Do difficulty trophies stack in TLoU? Can I get like 5 by making my first run a survivor/completionist run?

Difficulty trophies traditionally always stack, so playing on the hardest difficulty from the get go will result in your getting all difficulty-based trophies.

so glad I sold that game when I could get a good return

I am SO glad I never jumped in on the season pass. I stopped playing about a month ago, and I still managed to fully max out three characters in that short time frame. Bungie is just not giving it's hardcore playerbase ANY incentive to keep playing, mainly because all the best end-game loot is trapped behind loot boxes.

Mulling over getting Digimon Cyber Sleuth and Prey in the 2 for 30euro sale.

It's actually a tad cheaper than i can find physical copies of them but i'm sure that if i buy them they'll be cheaper individually in the Christmas/New Years PSN sale :/

Cyber Sleuth was a fun game. It has some jank from being a rushed localization but nothing that detracted from the experience. I'm super looking forward to the sequel which has the full Hackmon evolution line.
