I really enjoyed the first Gravity Rush but it's kind of crazy how abruptly it ends.

I figured it was part of the time pressure because it was a launch game for the Vita. It is still one of my favorite launch games for any console though (not that I played it on the Vita).

Gravity Rush 2 answers every question it raises and puts a bow on the story as a whole.


Samurai Sanders posted:

Is there really that much to say about 1? Girl wakes up with no memories and super powers, has wacky adventures and saves the town from monsters. The game doesn't even make much progress on the memories or super powers mysteries, other than that there is some ancient god civilization because of course there is.

Edit: maybe there's more but I forgot because I'm not THAT into the intricacies of super powered girls fight monsters and save the city stories.

You've forgotten the weirder poo poo in the story outside the monsters, and that poo poo does come up again in Gravity Rush 2 with an expectation that you've already played the first game. You need to play Gravity Rush first.

There's something very strange about people reading up on video game stories.

Just play GR2 if you want to play it. I didn't play GR1 and GR2 is fine. Everything you need to know is told to you in the first 10 minutes. "I came from somewhere else. I had gravity powers. Me and my friends were in a big battle and then got separated. I ended up here, in the sequel."

Let me put it this way: the things I like about Gravity Rush, and almost all open world games, have little to do with the overarching story. These games are mostly just a series of wacky moments to me. GR1 was pretty good at delivering those moments but 2 is even better.

Edit: incidentally Yakuza 0 is also excellent at this.

No i just mean the people who can't get through the first half hour to get to the amazing parts are dumb

last I checked, only about half of the people on steam that've played dark souls 2 have beaten the first boss; 1/5 of the people that have started the game quit before getting the achievement for dying

most people don't finish the games they buy and a lot of them don't even get that far. they especially don't finish games if they don't hook them early. I'm sure persona 4 dropped a bunch of people from the hours long intro as well

Managed to snag RE7 from redbox. I've only finished the intro, but it was pretty drat good. Biggest thing I noticed, this is not Amnesia, it's Resident Evil. The heart and soul of the series is still very much in there.

So I just watched my girlfriend play through Journey. It was a first for both of us. She really really liked it. Both of of us had no idea that the fellow travelers you meet aren't NPC's.

We came across them and just thought it was rudimentary programming that they spam a symbol and run around. It wasn't until after we beat the game that the reveal was made.

We were both blown away. Video games are art, sometimes.

I just went through one of the most ridiculous days (and it's not over yet - gently caress you, sweepstakes) of my loving life. And then I see stuff like this.

None of my bullshit matters anymore. This is what games are supposed to be. I hope you and your wife scooted around and chirped to help others, because that was why that game was made. No joke, that was the reason. Go forth, help, they will have no idea how hard you worked.

JEEEEEEZUS is Journey one of the best things that has happened to our platform.

I Platinum'ed Gravity Rush on Vita a year ago, bought the Remaster and still had fun with it. It's a simple but good game with nice story and dialogue. I just love that you spend the first fifteen minutes of the game getting a place to live and then collecting furniture and a bed. It's like Kiki's Delivery Service with monster blobs.

Actually, before Bloodborne was released, Knack was probably the closest thing to a Souls game on the PS4. It has deceptively punishing difficulty where a couple enemy hits will destroy you, uses melee-based combat that requires you to think about positioning and dodging all the time, and has some gameplay elements where your experience can be slightly affected by others who have played the game

Hey guys what's better Dark Souls or Bloodborne? Are either of them good games?

Is Uncharted 4 good? I've heard varying opinions

Should I really get a pro if I don't have a 4k TV? I mean I saw a slim bundle for $260 probably just get that...don't care for Uncharted 4 tho...should I just get a pro? Is it worth the extra money?

If like me you find yourself becoming irrationally angry at people constantly referencing Knack then its best just to ignore them especially if it's CharlieFoxtrot who seems to think it's hilarious

Probably best to ignore him to start with anyway unless for some reason you like context-less quotes

In Gravity Rush 2 you can customize the decorations in Kat's house. It affects nothing gameplay-wise, but damned if I can't decide whether Dusty should have a straw bed or a fancy proper cat bed to sleep in :allears:.
