I'm here to say 13 Sentinels is really really freakin' good so far, like top 10 game I've ever played good, and y'all should buy it while it's on sale.

I love the Japanese visual novel-like games with bizarre or unique scifi stories (zero escape series, ai the somnium files, stein;s gate, dangan ronpa) and 13 sentinels is among them for sure.

A year ago or so Japanese PS4s (all PS4s?) were updated to allow switching X to accept and circle to cancel. Since the PS5 is like that anyway I decided to give that mode a try. I’ve used Xbox controllers for a long time too so it shouldn’t be too weird...right?

I want to play Control right now, but as soon as I start playing, my fan starts up at maximum and i can barely hear the game, or anything else as it sounds like a power drill. The thing is, the ps4 isn't hot, it isn't blowing hot air out the back, like my PC does, its just as soon as I start the game its 0-60 time. I've looked around and i've cleaned all my vents, but the only solution seems to crack it open and replace the thermal paste, but that seems to be pretty extreme to me.

I had a similar problem with HZD but only during fights. If i was just running across the desert picking flowers it was at its normal level, but this is straight from loading. If I pause the game it gets quiet but as soon as i unpause, zoom!

Yakuza 0 gave me no issues though.

Well yeah, Control is one of the most graphically demanding games on the PS4, and Y0 is a port of a PS3 game.

I could believe that if it was during combat or big sequences, but its doing it even when i'm standing around in an empty room.

I might end up doing that. I have a pair of old computer speakers hooked up to my tv because its internal speakers are garbage. They have a headphone jack built into it.

I think that most of the graphical load is coming from the subtle lighting and reflection stuff, rather than anything related to combat.

more bloodborne videos nobody asked for!

blood starved beast was easily my least favorite and most challenging boss in the main game, maybe darkbeast caarl comes close but i was able to gently caress off for a long time and come back and whomp on him later. BSB was "essential" (as far as i knew at that point into the game) and i was only ever able to beat it bc it glitched out and never spawned its poison phase, plus i think it ran into a wall a bunch.

but chalice blood starved beast? god drat it. here's my, like, 7th attempt where i got it down to maybe one or two hits left but got panicy and hosed up right as i could have achieved victory had i maintained my cool and played a little smarter.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDFuM_7wgAw

and here's a short (15s) clip of a wolf attacking me through the floor and then clipping right through the floor and appearing out of nowhere. it's a minor offense, and i know the game engine is kinda whacky, but this is probably the craziest glitch i've ever seen in a finished game

:psyduck: I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone reading posts like this. My PS4 Slim is loud as I turn it on but then it quiets down so 'loud enough that I can barely hear the game or anything else' is totally wild to me.

I have a launch PS4 and when it's struggling it's basically as loud as... a microwave oven I guess?

As I mentioned earlier it also puts out enough heat that it significantly warms the room up in these winter months

I like it so much more than other Vanillaware games it’s nuts. I want to like the others but they all get annoying as hell eventually. The only other one of them I finished is Muramasa but even it wore out its welcome towards the end.

I was hooked on 13S from the first minute until the last.

I have met with the watchdog of the old lords and I do not like it!! Can get him down to half health pretty easily but then he does this pounce attack that one shots me and I cant figure out how to dodge it!! Is it worth summoning the npc hunters (I think theres two?) Or do they hinder more than help?

They die easily and the boss gets HP boost so I wouldnt recommend it.

The PS5 are relatively cool and quiet, especially compared to a PS4. If they fix the disc spinning up hourly, I would barely notice its there other than it being a monolith

The undead giant, the pthuermian descendent, the keeper of the old lords and the watchdog did not give me any trouble at all. It makes me feel almost as if I have not done them yet, but there is video saved to the PS4 of me doing them. Very weird.

going to give Rom another go later.

Will probably stream some dark souls adventuring much later too :) For now I need to figure out what weapons I am missing! :D

I think it's harder with any kind of summoning because it makes the fight far more unpredictable while also raising the health. Defiled Hotdog is an exercise in patience and precision. One of my favorite fights in all of FROM.
