Normally you can trigger it by pushing the left side of the touch pad and selecting it, but there are also motion controls to activate them. You probably triggered it accidentally by holding X and moving your controller in a certain way. Lol no loving way. I know about the gesture menu but.. motion controls?? This game, there’s probably a dozen other controller commands I’m totally blissfully unaware of.

Yeah it's kind of weird and annoying I've triggered it a few times while leveling up probably from mashing x really fast

RichterIX posted:Is the native app for Netflix preferable to, say, my Chromecast Ultra? We don't really have a preference, we are just really used to being able to use our phones to cast poo poo. I think for the most part native streaming apps display stuff better than any peripheral if you buy a mainstream TV brand. There's exceptions, like for us the TV hulu app buffers a lot so we use PS5 for that one.

Finished playing through The Last Guardian for the first time today and holy poo poo what an experience. The environments and big cinematic sequences in that game are just insane. The moment-to-moment gameplay got very frustrating at times between some awkward controls and Trico being a stupid beast, but the emotional impact by the end of the game was surprisingly powerful.

I’ve been meaning to ask if anyone who hasn’t played TLG before has tried it now that they have a PS5 and the PS Plus collection and what they thought. Cause two of my friends are playing it for the first time, one of which just got a PS5 and the other, who I gave my PS4 to whos been wanting to play it since the first trailer came out, so I basically gave it him for that reason now that I have a PS5. But both of them are nearly finished with it and really liked it and I’m excited to see what they think of the ending especially. But I’m glad you liked it, and I think everyone should finish it if they’ve started it, because of what you posted basically, unless you’re just not enjoying the game at all I guess.

So when the last guardian came out did it’s graphics demands just run the PS4 into the dirt? I played it on a PS4 pro and even on that it felt like all those feathers were going to burn up the system.

I bought my PS4 specifically for TLG so I probably didn’t notice as many issues as I would now, but it runs very smoothly on PS5. I didn’t notice like any frame rate dips.

Yeah it was a weird experience, there were times in the sort of mid-early game where I almost gave up because of many moments of, "is this not the puzzle solution or it is the solution and this animal just isn't doing it?" frustration. But I'm *so* glad I stuck with it, the payoff was huge. A truly incredible, memorable gaming experience. Performance was perfect yeah, not a hitch.

I had pretty much the opposite reaction. The intro to 7R blew me away. And I'm digging the cast so far. Are the early

Demons souls was a very good game but I hated it so many times. I have DS3 installed but I'm not sure if 'im ready to go through it all again. I guess at least I'll be a bit better at the combat...

Tonight I am playing more Dark Souls and I am heading towards Lost Izalith I believe. Gotta beat that big fiery demon in the corridor first, then I was trying to think of places I had yet to visit and I think I probably have to hit the catacombs at some point and I do wonder if there is more to the valley of the drakes than I thought. Plus a bridge with what looks like about 5 blue standing lizards. Needless to say, I am jazzed to see what this evening will bring!

Darksouls 3 combat is really awesome, very Bloodborne feeling but with a shield instead of a gun. If anything I found a lot of Darksouls 3 relatively easy, they went crazy with the bonfires everywhere. Darksouls 2 felt like much more a meatgrinder in a lot of areas, especially the DLC stuff, I thought they tended to swarm you with annoying enemies more often. Darksouls 1 will always be a classic, 2 it felt like they were trying to do a bunch of new things and people either liked it or didn't, 3 felt like a nice throwback on the previous games including BB and Demon's Souls.

Fine - I'm gonna play Dark Souls 3. Already dreading it, but the atmosphere in these games are unmatched so that'll be worth the misery. Will look at guides online to see how I can make things as easy as possible for myself, as I want to be as much a sightseer as possible.

Souls 3 was REALLY refreshing after Souls 2 No shame in using online guides or youtubing fights or certain sections, a Raw Broadsword +10 pretty much carried me through the game before DLC

That said, there are a lot of cool shield synergies, too, and weapon arts + doublefisting weapons can yield some great attack combos.

I’m almost done with my first full playthrough of dark souls 3 and there are a few things that make it easier than the others. Overall I feel it’s actually very accessible. Even for total newcomers. If you’re on the fence. Play it. You can grind souls and soul levels quite easily, and being a bit overleveled for the place your in and enemies your fighting helps. You have just tons of weapon choices at your disposal and finding the one that works best for your brain and style, upgrading it a bunch, makes you as deadly as you can get. Weapons and upgrade materials are literally everywhere. You’re showered in them. Weapons pack a real loving punch this game, too, especially just at +2. Not even 20 minutes into the first level I had the starting sword at +1 and that made it killer for then. I think a few times in Demon Souls I felt like my sword wasn’t that strong against some enemies.. in this game there’s swords and hammers and axes that knock enemies flat on their butt with every swing. It’s amazing. Lastly, there’s basically three types of enemies in every level, easy ones that will die in one hit, medium ones that might take 3-5 hits, and hard ones that take a real fight. Nearly 2/3 of all enemies in a level are the easy ones. So really, you can sail through levels just hacking down trash mobs left and right. Slow down a bit for the medium enemies. Slow way down and focus hard one the rare but very real hard ones. It really doesn’t have to be hard. If a player plays sloppy and isn’t watching and reacting correctly even the easy ones can wreck their health bar. So they might only take literally one single sword slash to kill, but there might be 3-5 in a room and if the player rushes things they can easily die. But, the game designers in this one really hope the player does take it slow, and they purposefully build the levels and encounters hoping the player does so. If they do, they really simply don’t have to die. Learning to focus and react correctly to kill 3-5 easy enemies, or maybe 1-2 medium enemies at a time prepares the player with every skill they need to take on a singular hard guy in an otherwise empty arena for the 2% of the level those hard enemies do pop up. It’s all winnable. And I think this is where the real genius of these games (and dark souls 3 in particular) lies. The more the player personally applies themselves, learns, pays attention to detail and takes things meticulously, the more they improve as a player and the easier the entire game gets. And so why do I think it’s actually a very accessible game this time around? Because people intrinsically want to experience a game in this manner. It’s a beautiful capitulation of a natural characteristic of all players. They nailed it with this one. There’s also tons of bonfires, almost too many per level. That helps a lot. There’s really never a long run to a boss. Always a bonfire very nearby with maybe just a few enemies to run past to get to the fog gate. Beyond all that, I will say just holy shiit anyone who hasn’t experienced the grandeur of the levels and set pieces in dark souls 3 is really missing out. I’m at archdragon peak right now and gently caress is it amazing to look at and explore. The first time coming up on profaned capitol, with those god rays coming down through the cave roof above onto its towers?? The impossibly large, impossibly dark and cryptic, cathedral interiors??? Bloodborne was good, demons souls was ok, but if you like to explore and be blown away at what you’re seeing with your eyes.. this is it. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve pushed through a challenging, downright frustrating encounter just to overcome it because damnit I HAD to see what’s next.
