I don't think I am understanding Armoured Core or I'm just very bad.

Pretty stuck on the first boss level with Baltheus. I got him to like half health a couple times but even slogging back through the level to get back to him on a game over is really tough. Any recommended LPs or something so I can see how I'm supposed to be even approaching this?

Feels like I'm playing Sekiro but with souls strategy, or something along those lines, where my play is just fundamentally out of line with what the game expects of me.

But I mean, I'm boosting, I'm jumping, I'm locking on, I'm shooting, what more do you want from me here

Armored Core doesn't want you to make a build and stick with it, it wants you to rebuild for the situation at hand. That's why you can always sell parts back at cost. Baltheus in particular is a check on this. See what's available to you now to counter one of his main advantages.

More directly he has an energy shield. There's a pair of plasma weapons in the shop.

Fallout 4 PS5 version is out.

I don’t have much on the docket right now so sure I’ll check that game out again.

Fallout 4 is a bad game both in play and technically and I can't believe it had enough staying power to have an interest revival.

I skipped it but it's cheap rn and I wouldn't mind an atmospheric wasteland fuckabout. I'm aware of the biggest complaints, voiced player character and bad story, but I expect that kinda poo poo from Bethesda. So really what I'm wondering is if it's fun to shoot and loot.

I'm overdue a New Vegas playthrough but that is like the opposite of a disposable experience and atm I only have the time and brain space for something shallow but fun.

It's gonna be a long while but it might be fun exploring the wasteland again in fo4.

But the good thing is, we're probably six years away from getting a fallout 5 so I'll get to this eventually in my backlog. I think.

I hope you get to hear Jenova's theme live, for my money it's the best boss theme in videogaming period, mostly because it represents a perfect synthesis of orchestral and electronic motifs. The variations Hamauzu is putting it through in the Remake trilogy are simply insane, just an incredible level of love and respect for the source material. The opening swell on the Emergent variation reminds me of the Akira soundtrack. It's just such an intense and emotional track that when it starts fully pumping during a fight every strand of hair on my body stands straight up and I verge on heart palpitations. :sweatdrop:

No joke but that, Hollow Skies, any of the jazz stuff and I will count anything else as a bonus. I only want to hear those three most of all.

The original Jenova drop in remake remains one of my all time favourite Final Fantasy moments. Even without knowledge of it it still floored me and now when I go back it gets me again!

I just cannot believe how powerfully good that music is. It is another level. It makes me unable to articulate how much I love it.

The Remake OST on streaming services lacks Hiphop De Chocobo. I consider this a crime. All I wanted to do was vex my gf on a roadtrip and I had to go to YouTube like a pleb. Unforgivable.

Nope, but looks like owning FO4 gives you the PS5 version and the DLCs for free

So there doesn't seem to be any reason to get the GOTY edition for 40 bucks, right? The Standard edition for 20 bucks now includes everything?

Don't know if it's a bug but people owning base FO4 (digital) are claiming the free upgrade and DLCs. FO4 GOTY gets on sale often for 9.99 anyways

What a rip off.

nope! for ps3 games it needs to be the GOTY/ some other edition that packs everything together. I have yet to see a publisher put anything up other than the base game, but I haven't really looked in a while

its dumb as hell and my least favorite part of the service since I couldn't afford many games from the 360/ps3 generation

I've played over a hundred hours of Skyrim on PS4/PS5. I put around the same amount on FO3 on Xbox360 at launch.

I plan on enjoy FO4 on PS5 and probably slap FO London on my PC version when they figure what they broke.
