The only catch is that backing up to a hard drive won't update the primary PS4 on your account like a system transfer will. Make sure you deactivate your old PS4 before you re-initialize it and get rid of it.

Yakuza 0 looks like it might be decent, but I have never played a Yakuza game.

Is my opinion wrong?

I remember someone saying that each user was stored in the data base by the PSN, which is why we aren't allowed to change them. It would be the equivalent of trying to change the order number for a specific order in Amazon.

The PSN APIs have been updated to use a distinct user id instead of name. I imagine the old ones will be swapped out with dynamic lookups or some other failsafe, while the new ones will be required for certification. It's already happening.

I don't think its story works particularly well as a prequel but other than that it is drat good.

They're using your PSN ID as your primary key in the user account database, whereas most competent online services assign some random number you never know about as your primary key and reference that value in other databases, not your username. That way if you ever change your username, your purchase history or whatever doesn't disappear because it's now pointing to a non-existent user. You still have the same primary key ID. One of the ways Sony could "fix" this (and they've already done this, poorly, with the real name poo poo) is by adding a new editable display name field for your account, show that instead of your PSN ID to other people in games and the dashboard and stuff, and only use your PSN ID for login.

Or:

Cool, sounds like they're in the middle of migrating accounts over to a system that does things the right way. No need for display name lookups if they do things right, hell they could leave your PSN ID as your account's ID, copy it over to the new editable display name field, and just never tell you about it.

Does Last Guardian measure up to Ico and SotC? I loved the earlier games but I'm a but wary of LG what with the troubled development.

Better than Ico, on par with SotC. Best ending of the three. It's an incredible game.

I was watching some E3 stream and the TLG trailer came up and right on time the dude's dog started barking. It was awesome.


Quantum of Phallus posted:

I still can't believe it even came out. I dunno how they were getting it running at ANY FPS on the PS3, let alone the reported 8fps some people in here mentioned.

What was the Two Best Friends quote..? "Every one of those feathers is a dead PS3"

AngelesXO posted:

Echoing all the responses here, it's a great game in the vein of the those two. Only minus is the framerate drops on the standard ps4.

I actually started playing the team ico collection again after finishing LG. SotC camera actually made me appreciate LG's camera, which is saying a lot.

Well, the both have a very handy "look at the colossus" button that really helps, but the button isn't even listed in the TLG controls menu.

I can't wait to try any Yakuza on the PS4. The biggest drawback of the old ones is the constant load screens. I played 3 for the first time very recently and it's unbelievably tedious in terms of how often you're dragged out of the flow of gameplay to load.

5 isn't as bad but I definitely can't wait to play one on the newer hardware.

Sounds good :) I can get the physical disc for the same price as the PSN sale so I'll probably get that. It's awfully convenient to just dowload it though.

What PSN sale? Are you not in the US? I got all excited for a minute but I'm seeing $60.

I'm kind of pissed that reviews pegged TLG at around 8 hours and now I'm hearing 15 from people. I'd have been more inclined to buy it earlier if I knew that. I think I'm just going to stop reading reviews because they are mostly out of touch with people who are actually buying games for fun. Either way I'm tired of waiting I'm just gonna grab it tomorrow.

It's 8 if your goal is to finish the game.

It's 15 if your goal is to play and enjoy and be immersed in the game, and, I mean...it was made to be looked at and contemplated. But a lot of early reviewers are in a rush to say they played it, etc, etc...which sounds really unsatisfying, and would probably make a game about communication/miscommunication feel equally unsatisfying. The overall quality of puzzles in TLG is incredible, but a few of them stumped me real hard and I had to come back later. If you were on a review deadline my guess is you would just ask a friend or look the solution up in order to get on with the game, but in a puzzle game that sort of defeats the purpose.


Easy Allies has the best review, and not just because they gave it goty, but because they talk about at length and yet give very little away. (still, purists will want to avoid watching)

Fair play to everyone involved with TLG, been playing it a bit these last few days.

The AI is probably the best I've ever seen in a game. It is so so convincing. I think it's a mix of AI and animation but Trico feels so alive.

The art direction is also brilliant. I love the look of the buildings, Trico is excellent and the lighting is incredible.

Worth the wait.

I feel like the game spams Forward Base Kodai and Eden and Exoplanet, which is why they are my least favorite.

Honestly, I can't imagine buying a puzzle game on physical. It seems like a perfect game to download on a flash sale and play between big titles, not the kind of thing I'd want to leave in the disc drive for weeks. Cool it's an option for other people though.
