As far as I’m concerned if you didn’t see that ending you didn’t get the full Neir:A experience and also sort of completely missed the point of 9S’s playthrough

The thing people are talking about is the involved hacking minigame, not the ending itself.

Right that’s what I’m saying if you don’t hack 2B and go inside her during that boss fight and fight her like that then you’re missing out on one of the things that make 9S’s Playthru very special, IMHO

Guys I just wanted to pop in and say that Judgement is so drat good! Almost finished with it, and then I can move on to Y3. Then I still have to finish Y5 before getting Y6. I don't know if I can hold out for Like a Dragon until all that is done though. gently caress, this series is great!

I'm really enjoying Judgement. It started out really slowly and I almost gave up but I'm glad I didn't. The Ace Attorney parody case was hilarious.

It’s hard to say, but they have come a long way as a developer over the last decade. There’s much more variety, better production values, the story is a lot more engaging.

If you have played Soma I’d say that’s a better frame of reference than the original Amnesia. But if you didn’t like the light/dark mechanics or whatever, all of that stuff is still there.

I finished Nier Automata C, D, and E. The story was still dumb af and didnt care for any of it. The bit at the very end where you delete your saves in exchange for helping another player out defeating the end boss credits, cuz lord I definitely needed the help was cool. I liked that bit.

Bad game. Cute gimmick at the end.

Awesome soundtrack goes without saying.

Ya, I quit halfway through the second playthrough, when you're the little victorian boy robot. It's not for me, I can see some of what others like about it.

Some great fun songs on the soundtrack, though! I think this stereolab song reminds me a lot of one of the tracks, maybe the tree-house or theme park zone?

i did actually enjoy that

I bought a PS4 in 2018 right when God Of War came out, and this one i say with certainty i made the right move, because the exclusives were good as hell. I had the Xbone for 3-4 years before that and i can't think of any exclusive that was worth a drat

You stream PS3 games, PS4 games can be downloaded and played. I recently downloaded Days Gone on my friend's account then switched to my account and played through it.

Streaming is pretty good. Played a bunch of Katanari Forever with no problems, and my partner played Last of Us.

PS Now has two types of games: About 400 titles that are straight PS4 software (mostly PS4 games, but some of those PS2-on-PS4 games too), and about 450 titles that are PS3 software.

All 850ish titles you can stream.
The 400 PS4-compatible titles you can download to a PS4 and play them exactly the same as any other digital game, it's basically treated like a PS Now with a 14-day expiry (but it auto-renews whenever you're connected to PSN).
The 450 PS3 titles are streaming-only.

I broke down the North American list into categories here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nYHNyfPl2t_FPg-7J5FCuB3x5hghFgwHIX3jIUnoNzU/edit?usp=sharing

Not quite; Streaming quality is entirely dependent on your individual internet infrastructure. What's true for you may not necessarily be the same for someone even the next street over. Make sure you've got proper fibre internet first and aren't getting dicked over by something like Fibre to the Node.

On the first game there are two big roadblocks.

The first level that utterly destroys casual players, especially with the new football shaped crash hit box is native fortress. It's pretty long and has a lot of near perfect jumps.

The second roadblock is the bridge level. I can't remember which one (maybe both are annoying, but I think there's two) if you can beat both bridge levels you can basically beat the game.

Good to know! I know it's because physics changed so if I get too frustrated I'll just move to 2.

oh wow, that's really detailed, thanks. I might try it this weekend and see how the streaming goes. I live in a major city and pay for the good Internet, so maybe it'd be fine. I mainly want to play the MGS HD collection and Tokyo Jungle, maybe try some of those PS2 games I haven't thought of in decades

.

True, but fibre's not required - I don't have fibre. I have a halfway decent internet that gives me maybe 3 mb/s whenever I download stuff onto the PS4, if I'm lucky. Is that fast? No idea.

I mean, ps now gives you an option to trial it for like a week, so use that time to judge of your connection is good enough.

Just to add on what we've discussed, if you can get past those roadblocks, you can finish the entire trilogy. Native fortress tests how much you're willing to put up with crash 1 physics and one of the bridge levels is probably the hardest single level required to beat the game in the entire trilogy.

Crash 2/3 are much more fair as well.

You can cheat the rope bridge levels at least by (very carefully) getting up on one of the support ropes and running straight forward to avoid most of the bullshit those levels throw at you.
