Some sort of pacing, environments that are interesting to look at and don't block you out nonsensically all the time with invisible walls, non absolute bottom of the barrel side quests and interesting enemy encounters more than once in a blue moon would be a good start. Not that I dislike it, because I am enjoying it to some degree I and appreciate it's brand of weirdness but it's also really boring a lot of the time and there seems to be a lot of total crap stuffed in between the interesting stuff.

I think to some degree playing the hell out of Horizon hosed up my enjoyment of Nier and Zelda. They are all so different and similar at the same time, and Horizon is so much more polished than the other 2 I feel like I'm not appreciating their quirks as much as I should. I really should have just had some self control and spaced them out.

I do appreciate that I have a bunch of big open stuff to play that doesn't involve being some contemporary idiot criminal though because that theme is the loving worst.

Hey fellas, is there any way to just download the game to the system, if I bought the physical copy of the game? I've been spoiled on PC gaming and digital copies for years...I know this sounds awful whiny, but I don't like having to switch discs. I have an extremely small attention span and often switch games three or four times in an hour long session. Girlfriend brought home both World of Final Fantasy and Final Fantasy XV and they're both fun, so far, but...I just can't focus for that long. But then I think, man, I don't want to get up. \/\/\/ Some bullshit right there \/\/\/ Edit: I tell you what. credburn fucked around with this message at 12:32 on Mar 19, 2017 |

I guess I didn't need to add a bunch of explanation; I could have simply asked if it were possible to download the disc to the system. Then I wouldn't have been italislammed. EDIT: Oh, but you know, it's not an unreasonable question. I am currently playing Final Fantasy XV, but it's suspended so I can use HULU on this thing instead of switching to World of Final Fantasy. And I know it can download games to the system. I'll be God-damned if I'm getting up from this couch until dawn. credburn fucked around with this message at 12:41 on Mar 19, 2017 |

All PS4 games are installed entirely to the system. You have to insert the disc to prove you own it, that's literally all it is. Otherwise there would be nothing stopping you from installing the game and then giving it to your friend for free.

Well, you wouldn't need to download anything since all games are installed and the disc is just DRM. Edit Beaten like the Vita. It meant Life.

As someone who buys strictly digital, I have consigned myself to only buying new games that I really really want to play and waiting for sales on everything else. I recommend it for people who don't care about collecting physical boxes and can afford it.

I still buy disc games occasionally. If it's something that I'm relatively certain I will only want to play once, I'll buy the disc so I can sell it to Amazon later. Saving money is cool! Or every now and then I'll want to play a game right now and don't have time for a 4-6 hour download when a 30 minute install will do instead.

I really should have just had some self control and spaced them out. I probably should've too, but I find Breath of the Wild is the superior game between it and Horizon just for being able to climb anywhere you drat-well please. Horizon's story has been fantastic though, and it's nice being given enough indirect clues to get a good idea of what happened well before the game spells it out explicitly. When it's not a weapon, you have metal flowers with fertile ground around them, and the swarm eats everything alive it's not much of a guess that Zero Dawn was a Zero Reset on the world after starving the robots out. I'm just on the Quest to go fix the corrupted Alpha Registry in All-Mother Mountain, and I quite like the little nod that it would've taken 50 years to break the cryptographic encryption on the Hartz-Timor swam so... they've had that running in the background. Just in case. Though given the word "swarm" and the neat little tendrils in the Corrupted machines, I'm guessing the Faro robots aren't the swarm proper but nanotech instead.

credburn posted:\/\/\/ Some bullshit right there \/\/\/ If you didn't need to actually have the disc in the system to play a game you bought physically, you could just install the game and then immediately return it to the store, or give it to a friend or something - without losing the ability to play it. I don't know what else you would have liked them to do. If you really are that incredibly lazy that this is a serious problem for you, just buy games digitally. As far as I'm aware, every single PS4 game in existence is available digitally. Then you're free to switch around between your games as much as you want, while slowly fusing with the couch

They never revealed the exact details before the shitstorm and subsequent backtracking, but I think Microsoft were probably planning to let you play your physical copies without the disc in the drive with the Xbone. The problem is that, in order for something like that to work, a constant online connection is simply a requirement - every disc has to be marked with an individual identifier, and then whenever you launch your game, your console checks the servers to make sure that no-one else has installed a disc with that ID since you did (since that would mean you don't own the disc anymore). Then you can play your physical games wihout having to actually insert a disc. The problem is that all of this is a lot of unnecessary bullshit and hassle compared to just inserting the fuckin disc.

Not unless you can shoot the heads of every ISP overnight and replace them with people actually wanting to replace shoddy century-old copper wiring in places that aren't major coastal cities. Nevermind places that aren't first-world countries. Doing so would gut your profit base by about half, at least. Same thing for streaming gaming replacing consoles as well. That doesn't even cover basic stuff like monthly download limits, because modern titles games are big. Neddy Seagoon fucked around with this message at 14:36 on Mar 19, 2017 |

While the art direction is good, a lot of the environments are downright ugly. And I hate the dialogue interface. It takes like 20 seconds to leave a vendor. God forbit you just be able to walk away when you're done. But it's a great game, just not a well-rounded one.

But you'd pretty much have to force the ISP's at gunpoint to lay out proper domestic fibre networks across the entire planet to make it viable. Besides, even as-is right now it would be a non-starter simply because of US college dorms; Large customer base for videogames, gently caress-all internet for downloading them with .

So, I was updating my PS4 on this nice sunny Sunday morning and out of no where I lose power for a split second. I start up my ps4, and the disk check and says I need to update my PS4. I download the update on USB, it updates, restarts, and then on the restart it does the disk check and says I need to update again. I have done this half a dozen times with the same loop happening over and over. Am I SOL? The only option I seem to have left is to I guess reinstall the PS4 OS but then I will lose all my saves, correct? Is there any way to access my saves and make a back up of them before I try? I don't have PS plus so I had no cloud saves.
