I played a bit of Gravity Rush 2 and it starts out really, really good and fun. Also while it still has harsh colors like its predecessor sometimes, the color use is more balanced between the sky and the landscape now. Also it's just nice.

MZ posted:I only started The Witcher 3 last month, at version 1.31, but it seems to play really well and I've had no issues with it. There are a monumental amount of patch notes between 1.00 and 1.31 so it looks to me that they've improved basically every aspect of the game. Kudos to CD Projekt Red for supporting it as much as they have. edit: the editing (I hope it's editing) in this makes me want to hurt the world but here's the latest Musou Stars trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYnAE-Pv3Og Samurai Sanders fucked around with this message at 13:04 on Jan 19, 2017 |

It's interesting to compare with the first art-wise: They toned down the crazy sky colors a bit but drastically increased the colors for the cityscape.

I might go out and have a look at the platinum headset after work. If it has approximately the same fit as my old gold headset did but more durable I will be happy with it.

From what I am told the treatment of women is pretty realistic to real yakuza life. In fact it might even be beautified a bit.

Neo Rasa posted:It's especially stupid as hell and regressive for Yakuza 0 though because of the time period like they for real couldn't couldn't come up with a badass female character in a game about beating the poo poo out of people set during peak bosozoku and sukeban time? It's literally historically inaccurate for the sake of not wanting to bother putting effort into any of the female characters' writing I mean those gangs (mostly the male ones but still) were like the gateway step to "the yakuza notices you."

I got the platinum headset and well, it's wireless and sounds good, but for comfort or music its no match for the midrange Sennheiser wired ones I have been using for several months. Maybe my memory of my old Gold headset was too dim and I have just been spoiled now...

Nostalgia4Dogges posted:Wired via controller or a mixamp or something? Wired to the TV (I have no need for a mic). The controller's output max volume is really low to me when I want to space out and play a game with music I love. Also the max volume of the Platinum headset is just barely high enough for me, even with the volume maxed out in every way I can think of including that annoying chat/game sound rocker on the headset itself, same as the Gold.

I hosed up getting the Platinum headset. Using it for several hours and then going back to my wired Sennheisers was night and day for comfort and sound quality, at least for music. The wireless, mic and virtual 3D are nice but it's no match for what matters to me the most. In the US I'd just head back and return it but Japan things don't work that way; I'll need to sell them to a recycle shop at some point. Just another pair of headphones on a huge pile of headphones I should have not have bought over the last ten years or so.

The online treasure hunt mode in Gravity Rush 2 really is incredible. One of the implications of how it works is that they made every building and every island distinctive enough from each other that you can locate the treasure. It's my favorite part of the game so far. So like, in this picture:  The bottom of that island, which is one of about a hundred in this region alone, was unique enough for me to find the treasure just from looking at it.

I liked it consistently from the very beginning. I am struggling to think of an open world game I have enjoyed more. I thought the first game was pretty good given its limitations as a Vita launch game port but this one is bonkers.

At least you can just kick the poo poo out of any guards who see you at no penalty but yeah, there are some invisible walls where if you go beyond them you get auto-detected and have to start over. Pretty inappropriate for a game that is about free movement first and foremost. I thought the period of obligatory sneaking parts in otherwise action games went away in the mid 2000s...

thebardyspoon posted:If I always wanted to play the Yakuza games but just never got around to it should I just play Yakuza 0 when it comes out in a few day? I played a little bit of 1 a few years back but got distracted by work and never went back, remember I was enjoying it well enough and was planning on playing them all at some point but this ones getting great reviews so I was thinking of getting it and just playing that then maybe the PS3 ones later in the year? Heard they had good "previously on" videos you could watch to get the backstory of the previous ones, since I doubt I'd want to play 1 or 2 if they're quite aged mechanically.

There's one class of flying enemy in GR2 that you will NOT be able to gravity kick unless you start it at near point blank range, could that be it? edit: There's a powerup you get later that adds a teleport to the gravity kick that allows you to fight them normally.

Max Wilco posted:Is there any carryover for downloadable games between the PS3 and PS4? I've been thinking about buying the PS4 Pro, but I realize I still have Yakuza 5 and a handful of PSN games I haven't finished yet. I don't intend on selling my PS3, but I was curious if any of the downloadable titles would be accessible on the PS4. I know something like Yakuza 5 wouldn't work, but I thought maybe the PS1/PS2 Classics would be available, along with some of the PSN titles.

Is there really that much to say about 1? Girl wakes up with no memories and super powers, has wacky adventures and saves the town from monsters. The game doesn't even make much progress on the memories or super powers mysteries, other than that there is some ancient god civilization because of course there is. Edit: maybe there's more but I forgot because I'm not THAT into the intricacies of super powered girls fight monsters and save the city stories.

Let me put it this way: the things I like about Gravity Rush, and almost all open world games, have little to do with the overarching story. These games are mostly just a series of wacky moments to me. GR1 was pretty good at delivering those moments but 2 is even better. Edit: incidentally Yakuza 0 is also excellent at this.

Attitude Indicator posted: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. I like how most of them are something silly and nonviolent though.
