Cross-post from the Tony Hawk thread, but my d-pad is just hosed and not registering inputs. The problem appears to be there is a delay in inputs; press up, wait half a second, press down. This makes reverts into manuals almost impossible.

Is there a better d-pad controller available? Is mine just lovely for some reason? I’ll buy a new controller for this game, just don’t know what path to go down, official or third party. I’m not keen on buying that $200 Elite controller or whatever it is though for one game.

Assuming you are talking about this for Xbox: The Elite series is an amazing controller if you are willing to pay the around 200 for them (I think $180 is list, you can sometimes find them cheaper through Gamestop/Bestbuy but not often). All the other controllers use the standard raised DPad.

I bounced off botw as well, it's just another ubisoft-style open world game from five years ago but with a non existent plot.

Currently playing Ghost of Tsushima and getting the same vibe. People love Ubisoft mechanics as long as not actually made by Ubisoft.

Disagree big time, I detest open-world games with a passion, like Ubisoft games are literal hell to me. BOTW is so much better.

Botw is lightyears beyond ubi and i still am lukewarm on it.

Good open world game: you can beat it by just playing the main missions when side poo poo is boring. Examples: hzd, spiderman, botw, ghosts

Bad open world game: forced leveling or meter filling requiring you to play nth version of boring side content. Examples: ubi games, mafia 3, days gone

BOTW was cool and the engine and underlying systems are great but the world and the setting was boring as gently caress and empty. I'm cautiously optimistic that this can be remedied by BOTW2 but we'll see.

We agree on that one. I got to the point where it forces you to get rid of like 4 nests after going to the farm and went "nah" and never turned it on again.

Actively avoided combat at every moment I could before that.

I quit early after a forced stealth mission and running out of gas a 15 minute hike from gas.
But the thing that really turned me off was a scene where a chopper appears over your head by surprise and starts trying to attract zombies but they just made a light come from nowhere and if you look up theres nothing there lol

It had some interesting ideas, but for me not enough to overcome how bad and dull it became. At multiple points I literally had to do all the side content available to progress the story.

All access seems like a lovely deal, even in Aus where upfront cost is $750. But I guess if people do phone plans they'll do this


Edit: forgot it includes gpu which is like $16 here I think, that's alright then I guess

I went straight from TLOU2 to Days Gone (as in started playing it about half an hour after TLOU2's credits rolled) and the difference in quality was genuinely mind-blowing. Days Gone just seemed like total amateur hour.

I bought these at the same time but intentionally played days gone first for that reason.

Also played Spider dash man first thinking I wouldn't like it and ended up buying the DLC.

ahhh fuck its the rats again
So in Australia the PS5 and Series X will be the exact same price.

The trade in deals however are different.

RRP is $749 for Series X and PS5 Disc Edition
$499 is for the Series S
$599 is for the PS5 Digital Edition.

Trade in an Xbox One X and get a Series X for $399
Trade in a Xbox One S and get a Series S for $299

But PS5 trade in deals are not as generous.

Trade in a PS4 Pro and get the PS5 for $449
Trade in a PS4 Slim and get the PS5 DE for $349

Dunno why they basically matched the price but aren't matching the trade in deals. Also Sony First Party games are gonna be $125 here which converts to about $90 USD.

I hope it's not all gonna be this expensive this gen, I mean how long until we get 70 dollar DLC standards. Bleh.

Just very satisfying to make stuff explode, the parachute makes short- and medium-distance traversal easy but you still have to actively control it, and you can do lots of things but aren't overloaded with mechanics and abilities. It threads a whole bunch of needles really well and the sequels both just don't. They gently caress it up.

Now that i think about it i think the surprise ps4 crossgen on smmm,sbba, and hfw was a hedge against a cheap xbox model as much as it was an attempt to make way more cash of the insanely big ps4 base while ps5 is loss leading and supply constrained.

Leaks about a low cost xbox came out so long ago like 2018.
So how do you compete against a low price point? You make people comfy knowing they still have 2, maybe 3 if they got kids, games coming after that console gets announced so that people who were attracted by the price or were unable to get/afford a ps5 dont go out and buy new hardware in the short term.

Real rat bastard trick by sony. Cant condone it but its not like im not buying those games and ps5 demand cant be met any time soon so it wont hurt sales there either.
