Despite all the talk about it, like HZD I went in blind. I can skip posts easily without getting spoiled so I guess it's going to be a trip.

I just caught up with this thread and sigh. Let’s cover:

Not wanting to consume media because of your own beliefs: fine
Not wanting to consume media because a model for a minor character is a guy who supported a bad guy even though there’s like hundreds of other people who support said bad guy more and its just about as tertiary to the property itself at this poo poo gets: weird and bizarre

Caring about spoilers and wanting to avoid them: fine
Angrily complaining like “I GUESS THIS IS WHAT WE’RE DOING NOW HUH” because people are discussing a game that came out ten years ago on a different console: weird and bizarre

and still a drat month til cowboys, poo poo

Boy! This GoW game looks great but whoever came up with the stanfard cobtrol schme has weird ideas. It is so much more intuitive to have block on L2 it is unreal.

I love the Axe throwing puzzles and the general gameplay but I am a little confused by the open world aspect. Should I follow the main quest first? I have been rowing a ton and found a lot of docks but most don't get me further. I just did Alfheim and am on the mountain again now.

There is a whole lot to do, so I'd say do a little rowing around the Lake of Nine every time you have some free time or something changed. Sidequests give good rewards and you get more used to the combat.

-Oh cool I guess you unlock more movement options this is pretty fun
-Wait how big is this game

-this is the greatest metroidvania

I’ve bought Hollow Knight on PC twice and stopped playing both times just so I could buy it again for PS4, it’s that good.

Now for today’s news: Marvel’s Spider-Man is the best superhero video game ever made.

What do we know of the new Hollow Knight Voidheart Edition? I purchased Hollow Knight on the Switch because of all of the great reviews, but have yet to start playing it. Does Voidheard add enough that I should buy and play it on the PS4, and just eat the cost for the switch version?

Hollow Knight is the perfect game and you already have it on the perfect console: The Nintendo Switch. Skip it on PS4.

It's the same, they're just calling it that because it's on PS4 and I guess includes all the dlc from the start instead of having to wait a bit on Switch because one wasn't out.

Cool, thanks. I was thinking it was already out on PS4, and they were releasing new features as a full game instead of as DLC. This makes a lot more sense though, and I can happily play Hollow Knight on my Switch.

This a very tempting reason to upgrade to a Pro finally hmmmm.

I straight up didn't buy Monster Hunter World and God of War initially because I don't have a pro. Monster hunter on the base PS4 just felt super laggy and compromised, and GOW being 30 vs 60 FPS is a huge difference looks wise from what I saw at a friend's.

Eventually I just caved and bought GOW but I did wait for the PC port of Monster hunter.

I think Sony's strategy of selling 2 consoles backfired because now I just buy games on PC if they don't seem designed well for base PS4.

Owning a Pro is pretty cool for the resolution enhancements and performance mode options alone. Horizon, God of War and Shadow of the Colossus all look stellar and as a perennial FOMOer it's good to know you're getting the "best" possible experience the game has to offer. In practice I end up buying almost all multiplats for PC though because why have pretty good graphics at 30fps when you can have :pcgaming::pcgaming::pcgaming: for just a couple grand? The PS4 is also great for indie games you don't want clogging up your computer's hard drive.

Didn't notice the fan noise much on Horizon Zero Dawn. Thing spins up like a wind turbine every time it loads up God of War though. Neither of them compare to the disc read sounds of my PS2 trying to process the sheer awesomeness of Shadow of the Colossus back in 2005.
