Probably not...but I've paid 15 anyway.

I just remembered that I have a PS4 20% off coupon that's set to expire this month, I was probably saving it for an early TLOU2 release but clearly that's not happening. Gimme non-soulsborne rex!

whatve you played and liked already
― ciderpress, Friday, 1 February 2019 01:16 (five years ago) link
have you played yakuza 0
― ciderpress, Friday, 1 February 2019 01:20 (five years ago) link
TLOU is god-tierHollow Knight would be too if I were better at it/it weren't so hardHZD, Nier Automata, Persona 5 all have various flaws but once they hit, it feels like a kissDead Cells I just started, outside of my usual comfort zone but goodGOW is fun, good combat mechanix, but ultimately a shallow experienceLIS1 peaked about halfway through then completely crateredWitcher 3 boringBloodborne ugh not my thing
PS - no horror games.
Maybe GTA5? MGS5 (MGS4 ruined the franchise for me)?
Havne't played any of the Yakuzas, is that the right entry point?
― Stateleee, Plump Buck Mulleeegan (Leee), Friday, 1 February 2019 01:26 (five years ago) link
yes, 0 is the entry point, its a prequel to the series thats intended as such
― ciderpress, Friday, 1 February 2019 01:29 (five years ago) link
RDR2? Horizon Zero Dawn I liked a lot - probably inexpensive now.
― Mordy, Friday, 1 February 2019 01:30 (five years ago) link
Isn't RDR2 slow and huge? That's among the things I disliked about Witcher 3. HZD is pretty small by comparison.
― Stateleee, Plump Buck Mulleeegan (Leee), Friday, 1 February 2019 01:34 (five years ago) link
absolutely do yakuza 0

seconding spidey; it's great
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Friday, 1 February 2019 03:46 (five years ago) link
I've finished the main story and am still playing, just tooling around, whacking fools. i NEVER do that. the core mechanics are so satisfying that actually i occasionally kind of resent having to play the main story??
― illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Friday, 1 February 2019 09:44 (five years ago) link
MGS5 is great, both wolfenstein games, doom. skyrim if you haven't already gone there. Leftfield pick: Rayman, charming, easy but such fun.
― thomasintrouble, Friday, 1 February 2019 12:30 (five years ago) link
Spider-man is tons of fun.
― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 1 February 2019 14:40 (five years ago) link
I forgot my usual caveat of no first person games! So no Doom or Wolfenstein obviously but that also rules out Skyrim.
Tracer, I’m like you in that after I beat the base game I’m usually done with it, but I’ve NEVER experienced gameplay that feels good enough to want to play just for its sensuousness. Maybe I’ll play Spidey eventually but it’ll probably need to be in the $20 range with the DLC included.
Yakuza does sound like it’s my speed though!

is no first person for motion sickness reasons or do you just not like it
― ciderpress, Friday, 1 February 2019 17:40 (five years ago) link
You can play Skyrim in 3rd person
― EZ Snappin, Friday, 1 February 2019 17:42 (five years ago) link
Motion sickness. I couldn't even get through Edith Finch!
― Stateleee, Plump Buck Mulleeegan (Leee), Friday, 1 February 2019 17:57 (five years ago) link
I also think that I need a strong central narrative. I'm not interested in simply exploring the world and coming up with my own stories.
― Stateleee, Plump Buck Mulleeegan (Leee), Friday, 1 February 2019 18:14 (five years ago) link
ok guys overcooked might be the best local multiplayer I've ever experienced
― illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Friday, 1 February 2019 22:01 (five years ago) link
it's scarily addictive
days gone looks like the AAA game equivalent of nu-metal

fucking hell, it took me 2 hours to load and it was like a bad channel 5 late night movie or something. Lousy gameplay, hmm let's follow a horse for nearly 10 minutes with some tedious expository "world building" dialogue. not for me.
― calzino, Monday, 4 February 2019 16:09 (five years ago) link
same
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Monday, 4 February 2019 16:29 (five years ago) link
glad I'm not the only one who thinks that because this is my first games console action since about 2001. maybe the online version might be fun though.
― calzino, Monday, 4 February 2019 16:53 (five years ago) link
Skyrim does have a central story, and it's pretty good even though there's not a lot of it. And if you play the main track of the game it's pretty linear.
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Monday, 4 February 2019 17:05 (five years ago) link
rockstar games are popular because of the graphics and the scale and the "detail porn" aka depth of simulation, not the gameplay.
― ciderpress, Monday, 4 February 2019 17:12 (five years ago) link
i can't imagine someone disliking Witcher but liking Skyrim unless theyre specifically into the character customization
― ciderpress, Monday, 4 February 2019 17:14 (five years ago) link
Hi, I'm that person. Witcher looks gross to me.
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Monday, 4 February 2019 18:14 (five years ago) link
I'm not a Witcher fan, either.
― EZ Snappin, Monday, 4 February 2019 18:35 (five years ago) link
yeah i get it but i mean in terms of making recommendations I'd need a pretty strong read there
― ciderpress, Monday, 4 February 2019 18:37 (five years ago) link
The Witcher is the Red Dead of fantasy videogame RPGs.
― EZ Snappin, Monday, 4 February 2019 18:39 (five years ago) link
I on't like Rockstar games nor anything that dwells in that gamespace.
― EZ Snappin, Monday, 4 February 2019 18:41 (five years ago) link
RDR2 has a really slow intro, and if you didn't like the story during that part you're not going to like where it goes from there, most likely. i found it to be really fun once it opened up to an actual open world game, but it takes several hours of gameplay before you're past the tutorial missions and you can finally get a decent setup with most of core game mechanics unlocked. by the time you get that far, you'll have watched the guy ride his horse and have really dumb conversations for a really long time, though
― Karl Malone, Monday, 4 February 2019 21:58 (five years ago) link
don't play online
good general advice for gaming in 2019

To play devil's advocate against my own feelings on this subject: PERSONA 5 has a painfully slow and protracted tutorial dungeon, but it ended up loving the game.

persona is on like a different planet from AAA open world games though, apples and oranges

play yakuza 0

I most probably will! Just going to wait till the end of the month (when my coupon expires) in case it goes on sale.

I was going to curse the PS4 Media player but it is actually very good. It wasn't initially working because it doesn't recognise any files unless you put them in a folder. Not tried its subtitles capabilities yet though.

Because I am adult saddo I don't have any friends on PS4 (or IRL but that's another matter), any ilxorz want to add me? I'm redhalcyon, I think.

I tried to add you but it wouldn’t let me because it said your settings don’t allow it (?) I’m a terrible PS4 friend though because I don’t have a headset
