you can literally make yourself invincible in ff15 before even starting the game. play the platinum demo first to get carbuncle, then play on easy and it'll pop up to revive and buff you if you die.

Maybe I have no soul, but I'm not enjoying The Last Guardian.

Every time I start to get into it, the camera and controls immediately pull me out of it. I get bored of it after playing about 20 minutes and don't care to play anymore.

Everyone has talked about how amazing the game is, so I'm going to finish it. I'm never thinking "man, I want to play TLG!" I usually have to force myself to slog through it.

I know I don't have to, but I want to see this ending everyone is talking about. Plus, I keep convincing myself that it gets better, or that I'm one play session from seeing what everyone raves about.

You probably have no soul. I dont either and thought the game was much to flawed to be enjoyable. I finished it mainly out of spite.
A lot of people seem to like it though, so hopefully we will get another ueda game in the future.

Nomura put out a statement last week saying both KH3 and FF7 remake are no where near done, and to not expect them soon.

Nomura really seems to have become inefficient at his job in his later years. I know the dude probably commands a lot of respect for his earlier work, but Square should probably put their foot down before we get two more FFXV-esque projects. You know where after 5+ years he has to be bailed out, and the team that takes over finds a mess of ideas still in the concept stages.

I think i read somewhere that nomura is pretty much at the idea stage for the entirety of production. Meaning nothing ever gets done cause he'll have a new and better idea for what they're making every 6 months.
So yeah, they should fire him

Uncharted 4 is the perfect 8 out of ten game for absolutely anyone and if you disagree you are actively forcing yourself to hate it for some twisted reason.

Do you work at naughty dog?

I find the recomandations to play uncharted 1 first weird. "You want to play this good game huh? Actually, I highly recommend you go play something worse."


Anyway, figured id give this yakuza series a go. Whens the new one coming out?

Half the reason to play the UC series is the characters. Why would you not play the first game first if you had the opportunity? Elena and Nathan have great rapport. And it's not a bad game in any shape or form.

Most people point out how its noticably worse than the other ones.
But how would i know. I only played 3 and was completely baffled by these complex and deep characters and their intricate relationships with each other.

Ok, I'll try at night then. It's really weird because I was seeing treasure on the ground I couldn't pick up and places to gather lighting and fire, but I couldn't. There was a camp site I couldn't camp at. I reset the game and went back to town and will have to go through the preliminary part again.

sounds like a bug with the interact option. try saving and reloading, i've heard that fixes most issues.

also, that royal arms tomb opens during the day. they all do.

Finally got round to putting a few hours into FF15 since getting it for Christmas. Love the world, love the asthetic, love everything apart from the combat really, can't get a grasp on how to do it well i guess? Much better than id expected though.

you'll want be less aggressive than what you would think. keep moving, stay on the outside of big mobs and warp strike a lot.
if not, magic is the win button in the game.

There's something very strange about people reading up on video game stories.

Just play GR2 if you want to play it. I didn't play GR1 and GR2 is fine. Everything you need to know is told to you in the first 10 minutes. "I came from somewhere else. I had gravity powers. Me and my friends were in a big battle and then got separated. I ended up here, in the sequel."

GR2s fun and uniqueness comes from gravity shifting and hence it's way of traversal and fighting, so it makes perfect sense that they decided that every other side quest should be a forced stealth segment or trailing mission.

Do they disable your abilities in those?

Not usually. But it doesn't matter since they are all slow and boring. It hardly matters if your standing on the ground or the wall watching some dude slowly walk down the street.
There are side quest where you can't use your abilities for some dumb reason or other.



But seriously, who are these bozos who keep dumping forced stealth sections in games in tyool 2017?

Dragon Quest builders (Chapter 3) Question:

So i got the quest to build "better equipment". There is no quest marker and all they say is i need to build better stuff. So i read online that I need to build Power Stones or something at the workbench, but my workbench doesnt even have that as an option, meaning i haven't discovered the recipe. What am i doing wrong?

EDIT: Also it is weird we dont know the FEB plus games?

Maybe you need to build a forge and then the thing you need? I don't know. There should be a full list of all your recipe's in the main meny.

I'm updating my launch PS4 tomorrow to a new unit. I was going to buy a Pro; I don't currently own a 4k TV, but I know I will eventually and I'd likely want the Pro then, plus it's just $100 more so why not get the "best" version, right?

Is there still an issue with games running worse on the Pro on 1080 televisions, or was that ironed out? Googling just gets me loads of articles from November about it. I'm seeing some stuff like The Last Guardian just flat runs better on a Pro versus a regular one, so is it just on a game by game basis?

I was thinking of replaying The Last of Us, I remember that being one of the culprits of running worse on a Pro, which is what made me think of this in the first place. Did those games get patched to run normally on a PS4 Pro on a regular HDTV or is this a problem you guys and gals are dealing with?

It's on a game by game basis. Some dev's hosed up the Pro patches for some games. I assume it's been fixed now, but I don't know.

The camera issues more or less have me ready to send it back to gamefly, but as I arrived at Jirga Para Lhao I started enjoying gathering the overworld crystals at least.

When do I get treasure hunt stuff? That sounds like my bag.

you can get them now. They pop up at random intervals. Or they would, if the servers weren't down all the time.

I haven't really had that many issues with the camera in GR2, but it can get wonky when you stick to walls or ceilings. Clicking R3 when landing usually solves that though.
The default camera sensitivity is shockingly low, considering it's a game where you need to pivot it around fast during battle, and I put it at max early on. But I usually turn sensitivity up during games, so maybe it's just me.

thank god i found the cancel mission option buried in the menu.

I finished the game earlier today and it is good, but I gave up ok the sidemissions too. They are all terrible, unfun garbage that seems like it was made to spite you. Slow as gently caress tailing missions, stealth sections, platforming and combat sections where they love taking away your powers. And they all seriously overstay their welcome.
The rest of the game is very enjoyable.

I was considering picking up a new game, figured either RE7 or Yakuza 0 looked interesting, but ended up just starting a new character in Bloodborne. Guess that's what happens when the game of decade is released halfway into it.
