Brigador Killers is going to own so goddamn hard.

And they had better put the remasters and Y7 on PC, trying to go back to playing games on my PS4 with a slowass HDD is excruciating.

Did you already play it on PS4? It was a goddamn blast, I really enjoyed it. Shooting bits off of robots was so satisfying. It was like Monster Hunter but fun.

No, I only own a PC (:smug:) but while the robomonsters looked cool, something about the rest of the world and its aesthetic seemed overly "artificial" to me. Plus I I remember reading that the the open world is a mechanically bog-standard, Ubisoft-affair.

All accurate. I found it to be an aggressively middling open-world game with some marginally interesting combat.

Horizon has a surprisingly good setting/story too. John Gonzalez is the narrative director, and he was the lead writer on New Vegas.

Cyberpunk's delay absolutely has the smell of wanting to be THE must-have launch title for new consoles and the 2. gen RTX cards, as opposed to some 10 month old game that's already on 50% sale when the time comes.

There’s a set of collectible items in the world that have some additional flavor text in the menu on top of the narration when you find them in the world and it’s just straight up depressing in a really well done way. The backstory was fantastic.

It's on sale right now, just got a big sounding update, and it looks like something my kids would really like. Anyone have it and smaller kids (5-8) and can speak to how approachable/easy to control it is?

Also, I'm totally in to try out Horizon eventually. Felt a little FOMO with that game, for sure.

I don't have any children, but Forager is a very simple and approachable that I think no child over six would have serious problems with.

It absolutely is but the combat's at least trying to pull off some interesting stuff and redeemed it for me. I liked feeling like I actually needed to take advantage of laying traps and applying status effects and stuff on hard mode. I think it's a good buy at the $20 it's been on PS4 for a while , but I have no idea how they'll price it on steam

I dunno if they fixed it, but in the GB video I saw around release it looked like you could just sit in a bush the whole game, lure a robit closer and get an instakill stealth attack.

I think that only works on really basic fodder guys but I definitely didn't push the game's systems or anything like that, just played the way that made it fun for me

If you do get a stealth attack, it's basically just a move with increased damage, not a "thing dies now" button. It'll one-shot the Watcher guys and with some upgrades, maybe the grazers, but anything that's got any kind of combat ability will still be ticking.

I tried to get into it a couple times and honestly just didn't much care for it. I liked the setting and story stuff, I just feel like it would have benefited from being a tightly crafted 20 hour narrative focused game rather than an Ubisoft mapfest.

Don't get me wrong, Gerstmann absolutely embraces "degenerate" gameplay at the price of his own enjoyment, but it was something that put me off the game. That and, of course, the fact that I never would have expected it to come to PC.

You can only do that to very basic robots that you can one shot with a well aimed bow anyway.

edit: My favourite thing about the game is the way when you first face a new big robot (like a Thunderjaw or something) it'll be a difficult encounter where you're desperately trying to tear chunks off and get damage in but once you learn them you're able to develop a reliable strategy that allows you to deal with them quickly and without danger. I had strategies developed for Thunderjaws and Stormbirds that allowed me to execute them with ease.

Did Witcher 3 get delayed or should I be DX: Mankind Divided worried?

Witcher 3 was delayed at least twice, for pretty substantial time-frames too. So yeah don't worry, CDPR has pretty great quality control and are comfortable delaying game to make sure it's finished. Hell even W3 you could kinda tell the last 1/5th of the game they're like "ok we gotta get this thing out finally let's wrap up what we've got" and it's still well-done.

I would never wish PSNow Bloodborne on anyone. It’s a decent introduction/demo but it has too much input lag to play seriously. Just buy a used ps4 for $80 instead - it’s worth it.

Also, no Old Hunters...

I tried Bloodborne on the free trial for PS Now and it was definitely awful. The input lag was terrible from clicking around the menu but I never even got to play the game because PS Now only supports Playstation controllers from what I can tell which I do not have.

PSNow is fine on a PS4 with the games you can download, but their attempt at streaming is why everyone pretty much (rightly) figured that google Stadia would be a disaster. poo poo just does not work for single player games that were designed with local input in mind. There's lag correction on shooters and it's gotten really good, but it doesn't work with single player games that have zero lag correction at all.

Bloodborne is such a technical nightmare on PS4 I fear what a PC port would be like. Probably worse than the original DS1 port.
