I finished the first Gravity Rush and have started on the second, and even watched the short anime -- which was really good and funny! The games are pretty charming too.

cold steel 3 being announced as a ps4 exclusive means i get to play the "do i really buy one of these for 2 games" game later this year
― ciderpress, Thursday, 17 January 2019 14:22 (five years ago) link
if there's one more exclusive i care about that shows up or if persona 5 doesn't end up on switch then i'll go for it
― ciderpress, Thursday, 17 January 2019 16:11 (five years ago) link
I'm going to try to make Gravity Rush 2 happen here. Played it a bunch last night and it was the perfect breezy fast paced game, although it's taken a while for the game to reach this point.

There's a delightful scene set in a jazz club which kind of captures the essence of this game: awkward and stuttering but slowly fills in its empty spaces with charm and magic. And later, the new powers that you get which give even MOAR magic. And the dialogue, even though it's mostly unvoiced (and even when it is, it's just a Japanese interpretation of what French sounds like (which really is even more delight)), is so well written and funny.
I should also mention the visceral delight of just crashing into the ground and through things.

There is a side quest where you have to fill up a meter called DOGGY JOY.
(Sadly, that side quest is otherwise unfun.)

can't decide whether it's worth paying a little more to have it on the switch...

Alright, i'll finally give this a shot; seems like it's very much up my alley.

i'm guessing Shadow Warrior and Killing Floor not worth paying for the top tier?

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!

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

Motion sickness. I couldn't even get through Edith Finch!

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.

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.

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.
