I kinda wanna see you tackle Outer Wilds. It's charming, low stress and a good mystery to ponder and theorise about

I loved my Dreamcast but the PS2 also having a DVD player was a game changer. I remember standing in line at 5 am, not getting one then going home on ebay and seeing them going for close to $1000. I had to wait 6 months then randomly saw one in a Walmart.

liquidypoo posted:If I may offer a suggestion for biome 3 boss phase 3: I did a lot better when I kept my distance. The couple of times I died to it was because I assumed I had to be in close but instead got bullets drilled directly down into the top of Selene's skull The solution wound up being trivially easy (though this helped). The Rotgland Lobber melts Nemesis in like five seconds. Using anything with bullets is a waste of time. Really loved the transition to Act 2. Returnal owns.

Outer Wilds really disappointed me, read nothing but rave reviews everywhere and the experience just left me kinda confused and empty. I just don't like being in a game where everything revolves around a mystery you are putting together.

JollyBoyJohn posted:Vg please update with your monster energy review OK so I tried the green one and the ginger beer one. The ginger beer one (called Mule) was a bit blah. Not what I was expecting. Just a weird tasting ginger beer with none of that spicy kick. Pepsi Max ginger beer has way more of a spiced aftertaste. The regular green one was surprising though. Really sweet but a nice taste. I have no idea what flavour I would even call it as it was the first time I had had it. I do not think I would drink it a lot because good lord it was a bit much, but I could definitely see occasionally having one.

The Myst reference a couple posts up is interesting because I kept thinking about Myst while I was playing Resident Evil 8. Obviously a different genre, but the photorealism and mechanical puzzles in RE8 got me thinking how cool it'd be to play a fully current gen (or are we still calling it next gen) Cyan type adventure. RE8 is at its most beautiful when there's no enemies or bullets flying and it's just gorgeously lit, detailed environments.

The thing with Outer Wilds is that it's not Myst in space, it's Riven: The Sequel to Myst in space. Riven is notable for only actually having two puzzles in it. The puzzles are huge and span the entire explorable world and tie together almost everything else you see in the game, stuff whose significance you won't even be looking for until after you've found an inexplicable input device and started connecting backwards from the options it presents to you. Outer Wilds, without looking to give away too much, does something pretty similar but is a lot more explicit about it, being as it is set in a time loop where knowledge and meaning is all you actually accumulate, and giving you as it does a gigantic conspiracy board to fill out and always, always reminding you that there are pieces to put together, somewhere.

Also I just saw some news that Druckmann said they might do a tlou3 set after events of 2 and people were disappointed. Am I missing something? I love new ips but you can innovate in sequels as well. Tlou2 gameplay is such an improvement over 1 and they even added semi open areas. AS long as the quality of the product is as good tlou2 or uncharted 4, I don't mind if we get more of that as long as there more cool stories to tell and they innovate.

cubicle gangster posted:Firmament is out in 2022 and I heard obduction was pretty good, albeit unbearably slow loading on base consoles - cyan are still making games. Obduction is great although oh my god there is one puzzle in it that seems to be designed with the express purpose of toturing PS4 players because it involves having to hop back and forth across loading screens that are like a minute long each in order to move puzzle pieces around, the concept is cool as poo poo but good god. I hope it loads a lot faster on PS5 and eventually gets a native version so it can finally shed its single gigantic flaw. (Also, loading screens in Obduction have a visual effect that is one of the coolest loving things I have ever seen in a video game)

Is there a way to remove specific versions of a game from your library? For example if you have the full game, can you remove the demo version from the version selector?

VideoGames posted:Then it is decided. Finish Sekrio. Play TLG. Play TLOU. Imo this is an excellent game plan. All 3 are modern classics. TLG is a good start because there's no sequel to play and it's much shorter than the other 2. Also I recommend playing TLOU on Survivor. If you are up for a bit more challenging (but still reasonable) experience it's a very well crafted hard mode. Of course if you just want to check out the story it's still great either way.

Don't play TLOU for the first time on Survivor. Do Hard. It's much better balanced for a newcomer.

I'll probably give it another shot some day. I just felt like I was wandering around with no idea what was going on for the 90 minutes or so I that I played it.

With the addition of ray traced global illumination, RE8's environments look as good as the prerendered backgrounds from REmake. It's wild to see the series come full circle like this. Makes me feel like a kid again to see a graphical upgrade this significant.

I'm not saying it's a necessity, but I think it adds a whole of tension to the game. I guess it boils down to if someone is in the mood just to experience a cool story, go for normal or hard. If you really want to feel like it's the apocalypse and you are barely scraping by (but always can because the game will stealth drop items so you aren't in an unwinnable situation) do survivor for sure.

RE8 looks amazing but it looks slightly inconsistent imo. it feels like they put more work into making the first half of the game look stunning. Or maybe it's just that the opulent interiors are better for showing off the ray tracing and uber detailed textures than the more ramshackle areas of the later half. it's wild how good the lighting looks in the castle and the house after that though. At one point I sat there for like 10 minutes just circling around a room and looking at a lamp and checking how the light bounced off the walls and surrounding objects and it was insane how realistic it was

RE8 is full of vaguely humanoid looking reflections, shadows and statues that pop through to the players vision at sneaky angles and it’s loving masterful.

Yeah RE8 does front load the gorgeous environments. The Winters home is also an amazing showcase. But I was impressed throughout, just the way foliage and snow on the ground is lit outdoors looks amazing to me. Even the dilapidated village homes leave me impressed. Granted I played on PC with all ray tracing maxed. I think PS5's ray tracing mode gets global illumination and reflections, but I'm not sure if it uses ray traced ambient occlusion or traditional SSAO.
