Hey all, my friend is looking for a new 2tb hard drive for his PS4. I know there's one that's been recommended a lot. Would anyone be able to link it?

the_american_dream posted:Is anyone playing Telltales Walking Dead season 3? There used to be threads but im guessing season 2 killed a lot of interest I'm playing it but Telltale made the baffling decision of "release first 2 episodes at once and then radio silence for 4 months" instead of having an episode release every month or other month. I don't even know if episode 3 is out yet. Maybe I'll play it sometime soon but my interest has extremely waned since i wasn't too enthused in the direction the game was going and the incredibly long wait time.

I view Telltale game as essentially Visual Novels and I'm okay with that. They do a specific thing and it's usually good enough that I have a good time with the game while I don't have to make huge commitments to play. I actually really liked the Batman game, Borderlands was quite funny, and TWD Season 1 was good. I disliked TWD Season 2, and Game of Thrones was just downright bad. I really wouldn't care if Game of Thrones doesn't get a sequel.

Macarius Wrench posted:People rave about the telltale Borderlands games but the first episode did nothing for me. I feel like such an outlier especially given i loved Borderlands 1 and 2 but those telltale ones are some of the most universally praised games I've seen on this forum. The first episodes has some good stuff but the really funny scenes happen later IMO. I dunno, its a comedy game so it's very much going to be your thing or not. I like the way it tells the story. The characters are narrating the game, so some stuff that gets super over exaggerated is because the characters are embellishing, and it causes funny stuff like the bro scene to happen (you can YouTube that) and I just reminded myself of the finger gun scene which was actually a really funny take on a big action scene using the Telltale engine. I dunno, I thought it all just really worked well together. I can also get why people wouldn't get into it.

irlZaphod posted:Cool, Spoilers. It's an optional thing you'd never see if you play normally and have to search out for it to actually fight, and the characters bring it up the very first time you visit the dungeon. I'm a huge proponent of not spoiling anything in that game because i think it's the best game I've ever played and want people to go into blind, and even I think that's not a spoiler at all.

I have the plat in Persona 5 as well and it took me 140 hours. I didn't play with a guide the first time and got only couple social links done. You can definitely get it done sooner if you use a guide the entire time but where's the fun in that? My 140 hours was after 2 full plays of the game. It's not a hard platinum at all, just long and one trophy you need to know how to exploit a boss beforehand.

UnfortunateSexFart posted:Uncool opinion alert: I gotta admit that after Kadara I'm starting to enjoy Mass Effect Andromeda. It's better than 3, which I thought was poo poo all the way through - not just the ending. Definitely too much extraneous stuff though, and some bad writing in parts - including the main mission - but also some of the charm that made me love ME2. Glitches are virtually non-existent, despite what you've seen, and the game is beautiful, although I didn't start playing until after the big first patch. I liked Andromeda as well, but I think it has major, major problems. The first of which is that the characters definitely aren't as fleshed out as they could have been. My main complaint though, is that the game has way, way, way too much fluff quests, and a lot of them near the end of the game are "Talk to person on planet, go to other planet, fight quick fight or just talk again, go there, now you're finally done" which, with how long traveling between planets can be, and how long it takes to get your destination gets old, fast. I found most Mass Effect games, even doing a lot of the sidequests, I could generally be done in the 40-50 hour mark my first time through, if not faster. Andromeda took me 70 hours. I did an Insanity run of just the story and a tiny, tiny bit of side stuff. I wanna say it took me maybe 7-8 hours? When 60+ hours of your game is sidequest fluff stuff, that's a gigantic problem. I'd really like to seem them pull back from doing the open world stuff and go back to making the fun set piece stuff that Mass Effect 2 and 3 did because it works a lot better for doing multiple runs of the games and there's a lot less busywork. I appreciate what they tried to do, but there's a reason why Mass Effect 2 and 3 didn't have the Mako and planet exploring. It's because it was the worst aspects of the first game and it's once again the worst aspects of Andromeda.

Even if we classify Yakuza 0 as an RPG (I'd call it a brawler if anything but I can accept people calling it an RPG if they want) it's nowhere near as good a game as Persona 5. I find fans of Yakuza 0 are willfully ignoring that the game has tons of bad gameplay design and straight up unfun poo poo in it. This isn't coming from someone who dumped an hour into the game and quit, as I have the platinum trophy in the game. Yakuza 0's combat is piss easy unless you play on hard where it's only hard because they at times handicap you with the most unfun bullshit like escort fights where you will only lose because the escort getting held even once on the hardest mode loses almost half her health, and guns taking half your healthbar. The combat system is kinda fun but becomes boring when Majima is literally "use one combo to wreck every single fight" The JCC is a loving abomination of a mini game, and real estate is kinda fun at first but gets boring fast. Other mini games are hit and miss. Yakuza 0 is a pretty good game but there's a lot of boring, unfun stuff that got crammed in there as well. Some people just amazingly overhype the game when I'd say it's pretty good at best. I'd recommend Nier before I'd recommend Yakuza 0, and Persona 5 is easily my GOTY.

VideoGames posted:I should also let people know that my least favourite of the first trilogy is Mass Effect 2 and my favourite is Mass Effect 3. This might colour things a little as well. All three are wonderful games, but Mass Effect 2 changed the game into a bit of a sci-fi action shooter, which I was not prepared for. Also I did not like working for cerberus, I missed the Mako and the cast was a little overwhelming. Mass Effect 3 is my favourite as well and Andromeda sucks. It's too bloated and while it seems fun at first, I ended up with almost 80 hours in my first run, and 7 in my second run to just run through the main story. The good thing about Mass Effect was being able to replay it and being able to go through it pretty fast regardless if you just did story only or side quests. They were 20-30 hour games. Andromeda just overstays its welcome so much and the plot just starts to become so dull because they're stretching such a weak plot over such a long period of time. 3 is still by and far my favourite.

You can pretty much start anywhere, there's very little to no tie-ins between the games. You can start with Ys 8 and work your way back if you want. Oath in Felghana is also supremely good and I hear Origins is great but I haven't got around to that one yet.

Wolfenstein 2 chat. I loved the first one and wasn’t feeling the start of the new one as much. I’ve found it just took time to get used to how the controls felt and upgrading some of the guns made it feel like my guns were finally doing real damage. Also for story purposes the game intentionally lowers your health but tries to make up for it with increased armour. I find that health packs were needed more though. Now that I’m past that point fights go a lot better and I’m loving how crazy the story is getting. If you didn’t like the first game though you def wouldn’t like this one. For those who liked the first one and aren’t feeling it, the only thing I can say is try stick with it until you get your special abilities and if it’s still not clicking then I’d probably give up.

BisterdDave posted:And the trophy for beating the game on the hardest difficulty is a measly bronze. It's like they're loving with trophy hunters. This really bugged me because I liked Wolfenstein: TNO and TOB that I got the plat in both. It helps me spend more time with games and not buy every shiny new thing that comes around. So to see the devs gently caress with people like this makes me sad because it really feels like they went “we have a vision for our game so we’re going to discourage trophy hunting” and the second I saw that I dropped the game like a hot potato (I had finished the game and was going to start again on harder difficulty). IMO, TNO was fantastic and one of the best shooters I played. TNC really feels like they sacrificed gameplay to tell their story.

I recommend playing with friends as that’s where the experience truly shines. It’s got a decent amount of replay value to see what kinds of endings you can get to or what you do. It’s 15$ Canadian right now at Best Buy and I’d say that’s a great buy at that price.

snoremac posted:Is The Walking Dead season 3 good? I really enjoyed 1 while 2 was okay but a letdown. I’m guessing it doesn’t recapture the magic of the Lee and Clem dynamic? If you actually liked 2 somewhat and like Telltale games, 3 is better than 2 but still doesn’t hit anywhere near the highs of 1. TWD’s problem is that is just feels like they have to kill characters all the time to get the plot moving even when it makes no sense. I finished the Guardians of the Galaxy game not long ago and it’s much better. It’s really funny and has some awesome moments too it. Like flying away from a gigantic alien beast while a Queen song plays. I’d recommend playing that instead.

Everyone keeps saying that Catherine was a niche game but if I remember correctly Atlus claimed they sold more than 1 million copies across both platforms. Like, it’s not a huge AAA game, but it’s not like you’re talking about a game where people would have 0 idea of what you’re talking about.

The Pyscho Pass game is okay if you’re a huge fan of the series and want to read an okay spin off thing. As a VN it’s kinda bad. There’s multiple routes, but for each route there’s generally only minor changes here and there so you’ll be reading A LOT of the same plot points and dialogue over and over again and after my second time I just fast forwarded through everything just to get the platinum trophy and be done with it. Even switching the protagonists didn’t change things up too much. It’s worth a play through for being free, but I bought the game when it came out and it was definitely not worth the money.

Regy Rusty posted:Oh I didn't even realize this was based on an anime. I haven't gotten very far in it yet but I'm interested in the premise, should I just watch the show instead? The spin off takes place at an unidentified time during the show but some of events are small call outs to the show and have a little more impact if you already know the characters. Otherwise it’s not necessary but the show is way way better than the VN. At least the first season. I’d put the VN on the same level as season 2 which I thought was just “ok”.

CrRoMa posted:I'm not gonna defend Nier Automata because for as great as some elements of that game are, it's a flawed masterpiece, but gently caress me, hearing folk complain about having to repeat 30 minutes of gameplay makes me wonder how you'd survive in the NES days. Yeah, but with NES games you usually were also thrown back into the action and didn’t have to wait for dialogue, story bits, and other junk that’s not able to be skipped. I also died at the beginning and I was on normal. So it’s not just people that play on hard that have this problem. I beat it the next try, but I was kind of ticked off. Nier is good, but has way too many bad gameplay elements done on purpose dragging itself down that there was no way it was making my GOTY.

Mass Effect Andromeda really feels like they felt Mass Effect 1 was the pinnacle of the series and decided that huge gigantic open worlds was the solution to the game, but that they just needed to feel like something was happening in them! So the solution was to put a billion quests in the game but the problem was almost none of them mattered at all. My first run of the game took 80 hours, a second run of the game doing pretty much only story took me 7-8. When 90% of your game is boring side content, that does not make for a good game. Even Mass Effect 1 if you rushed some side stories could be finished in the 20-30 hour range, and the sequels were even better at trimming down the fat and giving a well paced game, with interesting side content and focused on presenting good story and characters. Andromeda was people flushing that all down the toilet and just going “what lovely things can we do to put a checkmark on this feature box?” Andromeda isn’t a terrible game. It’s not so awful that you have to eject it within minutes of playing it. However it’s so boring, soulless, and ultimately devoid anything exciting that it makes it worse than truly terrible games by being so unremarkably dull and tedious.

The best part of ROF was seeing how many gunsights and barrels you could stack on top of each other to create the best frakengun ever created to do optimal damage. I loved ROF and have the platinum trophy for the game but I probably wouldn’t buy a remaster. Once you figured out the battle system it became very repetitive and a bit of a slog. Still worth a play if you never played it to being with though.

Persona 5 is fantastic and I played it twice in a row, putting almost 120 hours into it. It’s a great game and I can definitely understand why people wouldn’t like it. I haven’t played DQ11 yet because I played Spider-Man and now am playing 428 Shibuya Scramble, but I’m sure it’s a good game. I probably won’t like it more than I did Persona, but we will see what happens.

I like trophies because I like to see how far other people do in games compared to me, and what they go for. It also gives me reasons to extend playtime with games which helps me sometimes stop buying new games because I remind myself I’m still playing old ones. I just replayed “A Way Out” with a friend to get the platinum and it was fun seeing the small hidden scenes. Like, in one of the scenes you kick a guy off a skyscraper and we were like “WTF JUST HAPPENED” and it turned out the dude was daydreaming. Some platinums I regret going for because I misjudged the time investment. Please don’t go for the platinum in Danganronpa 3. It’s not worth it.

Ineffiable posted:I actually did dangan ronpa 1/2 twice (vita then ps4). What's so bad about the 3rd game? I finished my playthrough but I haven't done any research on its trophy list. Couldn’t open this thread until done work, but it’s waaaay more of a slog. They added a RPG game to it, which isn’t bad. However, they added a board game it which you have to play to level the characters you get for the board game. You have to do the board game once with EVERY character from every mainline danganronpa including some monokuma’s. It takes way, way longer than the previous 2 games because of this. It’s like 15 minutes maybe more per character. It’s simple to do, but you definitely would need Netflix or something to not die of really awful repetition.

. Also I personally wouldn't put it above DR2, just because the Psyche-Taxi solutions are obvious to the point that it's just busywork unlike the Logic Dive in DR2, and some of the characters are just fundamentally unlikable. Which is not good for a game whose premise requires you to at least tolerate them indifferently enough to feel bad when a murder occurs. Lying was a neat gimmick at least, but I just wish they did more with it than a single "NOW I NEED TO TELL A LIE HERE" Non-Stop Debate per trial.
