It's "arcadey" in a way. I used to go back to the side missions a lot just to see how quickly I could beat them, or to see if I could go completely undetected etc

Ground Zeroes is super polished (moreso than TPP) and is crucial to the MGSV story and has probably the best base map in any MGS game. the side ops you can run are all a lot of fun and can be super challenging, i spent a good 50 hours (???) on this prologue.
that mission where you snipe two guys from afar -- let's see you sneak in and safely extract them!that mission where you must blow up 3 anti-aircraft guns and a tank -- let's see you do that with no weapons!

Nier 2 is confoundingly great. it isn't one of Platinum's tighter games (it will probably feel janky AF to anyone who's played Bayonetta or Revengeance) and a bunch of saving/loading issues feel incredibly archaic, but I just got the main ending after ~35 hours of playtime and I loved pretty much every second. I really want to make Chrono Trigger comparisons - it's a collaboration between a bunch of genre titans, multiple endings are crucial, it explores a big complex topic through multiple viewpoints, etc. it was so much fun that I've barely had time to play The Show 17, although I think I'm gonna try to get through Night in the Woods before I vanish down that rabbit hole for another year. meanwhile I still need to find time to play P5 and Y0 and (apparently) HZD. this is a daunting volume of video gamery to be facing when the bombs could start falling any day now.

Btw, since I STILL keep getting confused on these two, which one(s) are actually good?Nioh and Nier?
Probably gonna pick up some BF deals, most likely one or both Yakuzas from this year and maybe Tekken 7/MvC Infinite
― Nhex, Tuesday, 21 November 2017 21:36 (six years ago) link
Haven't played either but it seems like Nioh is somewhat like Dark Souls and Nier is more Bayonetta-ish? They're both supposed to be good.

my boy is asking for one of these now, despite our just getting a switch, bc his friends are playing fortnite online I guess. I've never played a sony console before but it's cool, I want to play persona 5 & other jrpgs so between switch & this, life is good. But what I wanna know is: is the "slim" model the way to go in 2018 or should I spend more for the PRO model. we don't have a 4k tv and are unlikely to get one in the next 3 years or so.
― droit au butt (Euler), Tuesday, 23 January 2018 17:42 (six years ago) link
the regular is probably fine. but note that some games are starting to get "optimized" for the Pro so they get better frame rates and such, like the Shadow of the Colossus remake coming out next month
― Nhex, Tuesday, 23 January 2018 18:41 (six years ago) link
persona 5 is really good. really long. i may even finish it some day soon. i've got nier automata and yakuza 0 on the docket.
― Mordy, Tuesday, 23 January 2018 18:47 (six years ago) link
yeah yakuza looks cool, I know Tokyo now and open world ish games in cities I know are great (one reason I don’t connect w most Rockstar open worlds, I don’t know LA or NYC or Miami)
― droit au butt (Euler), Tuesday, 23 January 2018 18:55 (six years ago) link
should I spend more for the PRO model.
in my opinion you should spend more for the pro model. It's worth it for the superior hardware specs, not just the 4k.
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Tuesday, 23 January 2018 19:36 (six years ago) link
I'd agree, if the price difference isn't a burden I'd go for the pro version. I already have a PS4 and haven't felt the need to upgrade, but if this thing kicked the bucket I'd be replacing it with the better one
― mh, Tuesday, 23 January 2018 19:43 (six years ago) link
superior hardware specs = what exactly? faster loading times?
― Chocolate-covered gummy bears? Not ruling those lil' guys out. (ulysses), Tuesday, 23 January 2018 19:55 (six years ago) link
Some games run at 60fps instead of 30 (Dark Souls 3 for ex.).
― change display name (Jordan), Tuesday, 23 January 2018 19:57 (six years ago) link
improved performance, smoother frame rates i just got a pro cuz my og ps4 blew up not long after i got a psvr and there is a small but noticeable improvement in performance for some games
― grim-n-gritty hooty reboot (bizarro gazzara), Tuesday, 23 January 2018 19:58 (six years ago) link
PS4 - CPU: 1.6GHz 8-core AMD Jaguar; 1.84 TFLOP AMD Radeon (18CU, 800MHz); 8GB GDDR5 RAM
PS4 Pro - CPU: 2.1GHz 8-core AMD Jaguar; GPU: 4.2 TFLOP AMD Radeon (36CU, 911MHz); 8GB GDDR5 + 1GB RAM
Much better GPU is the main selling point but the CPU and RAM are both improved. Should give you better performance across the board ... not just loading. Also I think it ships with 1 TB of space instead of the PS4's 500 MB.
Also, if you ever do get 4K running, it does look pretty nice!

I haven't played Metal Gear since the first one on the NES way the fuck back in the day, and I never understood how to play it back then. but now that my PS4 PRO will arrive on Tuesday I was thinking of what to get for it & I saw upthread that Metal Gear was something cool but WTF game is being talked about? I look online & there are all these different editions and I can't understand anything & it's like my game confusion from the NES days has been transferred IRL anyway please help
also are these Uncharted games good ones to test out this new hardware? I kinda want to play something that takes advantage of the horsepower I'll now have (even though my boy just wants to play Fortnite)
― droit au butt (Euler), Sunday, 28 January 2018 14:41 (six years ago) link
If you’ve got a 4K hdr tv then the best games to show off a pro are probably uncharted 4, Witcher 3 (no hdr yet but patch is coming soon), Gran Turismo Sport, Horizon Zero Dawn and wipeout omega collection. Plus maybe the Infamous games.
If you’re on a 1080 screen and just want to see better frame rates though then I’m not sure. I think the infamous menu let’s you choose between performance and resolution, uncharted might too, horizon definitly does.

That’s the one for PS4, i believe there’s a “definitive edition” that bundles a short prologue game that was released prior
― mh, Sunday, 28 January 2018 16:34 (six years ago) link
Ok now that’s a confusion, bc if it’s definitive then it’s the one I want, but apparently not? And there are multiple MGS5s then. Madness
― droit au butt (Euler), Sunday, 28 January 2018 17:00 (six years ago) link
Yes and noThere’s:MGS5: Ground Zeroes (prologue-style single mission that was released as a teaser)MGS5: The Phantom Pain (the game)and “Definitive Edition” which is both. All you really need is TPP but 90% of the copies you’ll find by this point are either the bundleor deadstock
― mh, Sunday, 28 January 2018 17:11 (six years ago) link
And idk why it’s madness when nearly every game that’s popular now gets a “game of the year edition” or “complete edition” that bundles all the downloadable content at some later date. if this seems wild, wait until you see some real shenanigans
