ditto how difficult aiming your weapon is in most games where your characters is supposed to be an expert, hardened veteran
"it's been years since i pulled this revolver out of its holster. but in its day, the mere sight of it was enough to send every two-timin' ghost town lootin', half-witted outlaw runnin', at least west of the Platte"

you can yell Jason in most games but i don't know if it will affect gameplay

This looks like a fun Gaiden-vania. Usually I don't get to play these games because they're only on Switch/PC these days:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBuOXuIwPo4

pre-orders got it a day early - it's open to the public now, just until the end of the day

you can download the beta but not play anything, not even the offline modes

no, it's ps4 and ps5 and there's crossplay, the psn store is probably making it confusing

Anything worth checking out from today's State of Play?
― RZA Minnelli (Leee), Friday, 26 February 2021 05:58 (three years ago) link
A lot of them had been in previous state of plays... Returnal, Deathloop, Oddworld, etc. Returnal looks pretty nice.
Crash Bandicoot 4 and Final Fantasy VII Remake are getting pretty substantial upgrades for next gen.
Sifu and Solar Ash looked cool of the games I hadn't seen before.
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Friday, 26 February 2021 07:09 (three years ago) link
only new announcement was FF7 Remake Yuffie DLC, it being exclusive to PS5 is wtf
― ( X '____' )/ (zappi), Friday, 26 February 2021 08:12 (three years ago) link
at least it's a free upgrade from the PS4 version but yeah, weird
― Nhex, Friday, 26 February 2021 12:32 (three years ago) link
presumably will be on PC eventually
― ciderpress, Friday, 26 February 2021 14:27 (three years ago) link
I see that Hitman 2 is on sale for a few more days, but how the trilogies work in terms of transferring progress is a little confusing. Would 2 be a good starting place (Hitman 1 GOTY is still full price), and I'd just wait for 3 to eventually come down in price?
― RZA Minnelli (Leee), Sunday, 28 February 2021 01:19 (three years ago) link
It's a little bit complicated.
https://www.ign.com/wikis/hitman-3/How_to_Get_Hitman_1_And_2_in_Hitman_3
Since you can import H2 progress to 3, 2 is a good starting place, but you won't have access to the Hitman 1 levels out of the box unless you pay extra for it as DLC or already own it.
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Sunday, 28 February 2021 03:01 (three years ago) link
Except it's not, if your PS4 version is the one you'll be getting free with PS+ next month. So yeah, even weirder.

There's a Ratchet and Clank game that's free to download for some reason!

Is there a way to make the button prompts bigger in Hitman 2? I can barely make out the onscreen tips and tutorials.
― RZA Minnelli (Leee), Sunday, 7 March 2021 22:04 (three years ago) link
that's a problem for tons of games, for me. i think we're supposed have bigger and better displays
― Zach_TBD (Karl Malone), Sunday, 7 March 2021 22:19 (three years ago) link
unfortunately, I enjoy having a wall in addition to a display, so
As well as hardly ever being able to make out button prompts, my TV is so old it overscans my PS4 and there's no option to stop it doing it, making a lot of games more difficult and some (Civ 6) impossible to play
― Party With A Jagger Ban (dog latin), Monday, 8 March 2021 00:40 (three years ago) link
Do I need a PS+ account to play Hitman 2? I bought Hitman 2: Gold Edition, which is supposed to be the full game + DLC, but I can only play the first level plus the prologue -- all the other missions say "Get Access" with a link to go to the store, but when I go there, it says it's already installed.
― Eleanor of Accutane (Leee), Saturday, 13 March 2021 02:02 (three years ago) link
You shouldn't need it, unless you got Hitman 2 as part of PS+ a while back. Maybe delete and reinstall?
― Nhex, Saturday, 13 March 2021 16:54 (three years ago) link
I figured it out, the levels are separate downloads.
― Eleanor of Accutane (Leee), Saturday, 13 March 2021 17:06 (three years ago) link

Of course, I've bought like half the games in that promo and they're still sealed
― Nhex, Wednesday, 17 March 2021 23:36 (three years ago) link
I've had my eye on ABZU for a bit, and mildly curious about The Witness (mild because of my wariness about the FP POV).
― Eleanor of Accutane (Leee), Thursday, 18 March 2021 00:09 (three years ago) link
Incidentally, I think I'm going to delete Ratchet & Clank. Unengaging script/characters, basic gameplay, and 25GB that could be better used for Hitman levels.
― Eleanor of Accutane (Leee), Thursday, 18 March 2021 00:17 (three years ago) link
abzu and witness and gungeon are all very much worth playing; looking forward to finally trying subnautica

btw, i noticed that Sony quietly re-added the Wishlist function back to the store. good move. too bad my 100 WL titles from pre-Nov are gone, though.

They're all up but Horizon Zero Dawn, iirc. No doubt because that game is much bigger and takes longer to download.

I just found the perfect supplementary thread for me: https://www.reddit.com/r/patientgamers/
A gaming sub free from the news, hype and drama that surround current releases, catering instead to gamers who wait at least 6 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.
