Waltzing Along posted:Please add to the OP that Bloodborne is overrated and to take recommendations with a grain of salt. overrated games can still be good. I wouldn't recommend it to general people though because you have to be willing to fail like 20 times before you succeed once, ad nauseum and general people don't have that kind of tolerance, even if the setting is cool. Nostalgia4Dogges posted:Haha oh man the posts in the PS4 Thread when it was announced and their was *some* gameplay footage. The second coming of Jesus The Order could have been a really neat game. They just had a neat setting and didn't deliver.

UC4 was my first Uncharted and I wasn't lost at all. I'm sure I missed some references and there were some scenes that were clearly meant to be nostalgic for long-time players, but I had a good time.

Crash is an absolute slog if you're trying to get all gems/relics/etc but why would you do that? Crash Team Racing is still probably my favourite kart racer, though. SM64 might have been pretty cool when it came out, but it's totally outclassed by like every other Mario game since, so that doesn't get it much credit from me. I'd rather play any of the original three Spyro the Dragon games than go through SM64 again, and I've 100%ed all four. hell, anything involving the flying cap alone puts me off of picking it up again.

MysticalMachineGun posted:Also Crash has a gimmick where you can't see where you're going - if a game were released today with that gimmick it would disappear into obscurity so fast. that happens in like 2-3 levels per game, out of 25-30. I think every Uncharted game has one little section where you run into the camera. it's really not that big a deal. e: I thought you were talking about running into the camera but maybe you're talking about the darkness gimmick? I don't really know

I'm already opted in to the Sony marketing communications or whatever in the notification preferences on the store. also with all the remasters and stuff coming out these days, where's the SSX trilogy one? I went back and played some SSX3 tonight and there's a game that would look absolutely stunning with pretty much no changes to game mechanics needed.

Zaphod42 posted:I'd love SSX 1, tricky or 3 on PS4 as a port, but there's only a small few games ported. It takes time and work, and there's licensing issues. No EA published games have yet been ported from ps2 to ps4, mostly Sony first party games but a few other publishers have agreed. But there's tooons of ps2 games and few have so far. that SSX was great and I loved that you could literally wingsuit down some of the tracks in like 12 seconds. nothing quite compares to that big mountain and the continuity of tracks in SSX3 though. *sigh* e: it just kills me that of all things Crash Bandicoot is getting a remake (which, by the trailer I've seen, looks and plays much worse than the original) since Activision apparently has money to burn and doesn't give a gently caress, while other games are doomed to toil in obscurity forever. morallyobjected fucked around with this message at 09:26 on Jan 22, 2017 |

J-Spot posted:You're not doing anything wrong but that reviewer must have been. It's been awhile since I've played but I could swear that every path could unlock a truth but there are multiple paths that can potentially unlock each. I'm pretty sure I unlocked the first three right away and then it took me a few tries to find a path that would get me the fourth. every path can unlock a truth but there are like 24 stories and 4 truths, so you have to find the right ones to get the truths you don't already have. I'd guess he found one truth and either didn't realise it or just meant it took him forever to find a path that got him the second one and got confused. either way, you definitely can't play through the game once without finding a truth.

Zaphod42 posted:They're on youtube. If you want the story to make sense, they're pretty important because the actual game's story is in shambles. But if you just wanna hit dudes with swords then whatever. it's not the most explicitly told story in the world, but I dunno if I'd call it "in shambles". there are some things can be easy to miss, but for the most part the story is pretty simple. the bigger sin of FFXV's story is that it sets up a lot of things that don't go anywhere like Prompto (presumably because they ran out of time), less that they left too many things unexplained

I dunno, I tend to think of shambles more as "plot elements are explicitly misrepresented" or "there's no way to tell what's actually going on", like certain parts of FFVII's translation. or "this event is absolutely unexplainable" like Cid's (or Rosch's, can't remember) sudden resurrection in FFXIII. they could have added a lot more to FFXV, but it's not like the story is hard to follow

Imagined posted:Why is my $40 Roku stick a better media device than a $400 4th generation console by a global megacorp that's been making consumer electronics for 40 years. Seriously why does the TV & Video bit suck so badly? We had the Pro less than a week before I went back to using the Roku for my Netflix and Plex needs. granted I don't use Plex but I don't get what the Roku has over the PS4 when it comes to Amazon and Netflix. every Roku I've used has been a laggy piece of poo poo, but I also haven't used the stick, so maybe they managed to make that one be not-terrible

Imagined posted:On Roku I can delete the poo poo I'll never use and not have to scroll down past 20 bullshit things to get to the stuff I do use, which I can also reorganize however I want, for one. For two, in Netflix the PS4 doesn't seem to automatically go on to the next episode for some reason? Even my 4 year old noticed that. Come to think of it the PS3 Netflix app did the same thing. this is definitely a glitch or hidden setting or something, because I have no issues with that on Amazon/Netflix (I don't think it happened on my PS3 either, but it's been too long since I've used it to know for sure). every like 5 episodes it'll ask if I'm still actually watching the show, but that's about it. you're probably right about the codecs thing because I remember reading about it being finicky with that kind of stuff back when the released their own media player, but I don't use my PS4 as a media server, so I wouldn't be able to say one way or the other.

the only things Rocket League really has on Disc Jam are (a) better matchmaking (though whether that's population or netcode I have no idea, and I assume that unlike Rocket League, Disc Jam isn't cross platform) (b) the rate/variety of unlocks (c) the variety of maps but (b) and (c) are both fixable since they're working on new content and Rocket League has had a long time to build stuff up

Yodzilla posted:I like Disc Jam but as it stands it's a super sparse package. The characters are bland as hell, there's no AI modes, there's only one arena, and the unlocks suck. It's a good platform to build on but it needs more time to bake. yeah but nobody plays Rocket League for the AI modes. the core gameplay of Disc Jam is good, even if it's not as robust, cosmetically. Rocket League is the better full product for sure, but fun-wise, they're both about equal in my book, and Disc Jam has a lot of room to grow

okay I'm going to give one more minus to Disc Jam. it's still a good game, but being able to win unlocks you already have is dumb when you have to "buy" them with the in-game points.

what was the last good demo, anyway? Nier's seems middling, and god knows the FFXV one turned people off of it despite the main game being much better. I used to play the hell out of those jampack demo discs back in the day (Tekken 2 where you only got to choose between Lei and Jun!), but I dunno what the last demo was that actually sold me on a game.Loutre posted:Over halfway through and I would like to update my opinion on the first Uncharted from "awesome" to "awesome mixed with a constant barrage of boring rear end shooting sequences" it's been said before and it'll be said again, but make sure you aren't playing them as cover shooters--they weren't meant to be played like that, and especially in the first one, the enemies can take a lot of bullet punishment before going down. you're meant to be running around, firing a couple shots from the hip, and punching enemies out before rolling into cover for a breather. if you still don't like it after playing it that way, then it's fine--the first one is generally thought of as the worst one by most people. the later games give you a lot more options for dealing with enemies, but overall the design philosophy is the same: keep on the move, run and gun is your friend.

I get platinums when they're not too tedious. Life is Strange is probably the easiest one I've ever done because all you have to do is find and take ten pictures every episode. I got the one for FF Type-0 and don't recall it being too bad either. I'll probably get World of FF and FFXV's eventually, and I got the one for Rocket League, though to be fair I cheated and did some of the more unlikely ones in private matches with bots or with my other controller.

The devs obviously put a lot of effort into crafting genuine motivations and emotions for Aloy, and she's just such a wonderful character. yeah but I heard the mechs are red when they're hostile and green when they're friendly instead of you having to figure it out every single time by testing so the devs really missed a chance there to make something more organic

I have two 360 controllers with stick drift and one of the early model DS4s with some left analog stick issues (I have one of the newer ones that works just fine, though). my two PS3 controllers both work fine, and I've probably used those the most. my DS2s have a little stick drift but less noticeable than the 360 controllers.
