I had a customer ask to return their Christmas present of Ghostbusters on PS4. I asked why.

"Because it's awful.'

Let me tell you: They were not wrong.

I didn't even know this existed and wow.
Apparently it was so bad the devs went bankrupt.

Out here people still think of consoles as "the Sega" or "the Nintendo". I never even knew what Sega console I had as a kid till we got the internet later on.

This is too little too late, but maybe switching your Guardian Spirit could have helped against Muneshige. Most people stick to the starting one but the other have some relevant buffs I feel.

How long is a "mission" equivalent to a Dark Soul Boss to Boss?
Think of it as... the entirety of Darkroot Garden and Basin, more or less?
Basically, not small. Someone who knows what they're doing can easily bumrush the boss location though, and there are 4 or so "bonfires" in the area, so around that big.

Did it? What I read mostly focused on dropping Paragon/Renegade for a four choice system. I guess it did in a way give your 3 options and a couple extra sometimes.

What, you expected the Sony AAA open world game to get bad reviews?
After watching the whole game get streamed it really looks average more than anything. It's a shame they messed up a concept as good as "you fight giant robot dinosaurs that rule the world".

This looks more like Destiny 2 (with worse combat) than Mass Effect 4.

Nier Automata is a standalone game and the only thing looking up or playing previous games will do is make you go "Oh hey that's a wink to a previous game" and then move on.

Maxing all the weapons (and doing all the sidequests, IIRC) doesn't unlock an ending, but it DOES unlock an optional boss fight that ties up a few loose story treads.
Said boss fight does lead to a permanently missable joke ending if you don't die during a part of it though.
It's just some lines of text but it's the one genuine missable thing on the game.

Being honest, I rather play as Kratos than the kid unless you make the kid a murdering machine that dismembers huge monsters. It's what I want from a God of War game.

The kid being relegated to an assist button makes me hope he at least gets to learn stuff and you can assign him different moves as you go on.

FemShep was voiced by Jennifer Hale who is great so anyone who played FemShep deserves a pat on the back for making a good choice.

I played DudeShep made to look like me all the way through and didn't even know I was missing out on the better VA :smith:
Jennifer Hale is an extremely talented VA and she nails both serious and comical scenes, but there's this bizarre quality that maleShep has that just makes most of what he says sound weirdly comical. Combined with his default face it gives off this weird B-movie feeling.

Yoko Taro: Can a human?
Cage: what
Yoko Taro: Can a human learn to be human?

It's a dumb/nonsensical fake exchange but after Nier and Nier A the bar for existentialism/robo-existentialism is raised pretty high.

I'm happy the Mysterious Gensokyo series is on the PS4 now. I like playing as a really violent magical girl running around with a watermelon sword and a garbage can lid slaying disrespectful fairies.

edit: before anyone asks it is definitely anime.

How is it on PS4? After the later PC titles got crazy always online DRM I didn't really try them so I'm wondering how much they've improved on the formula.
Also are you playing the Japanese or English version? I'm interested in seeing if official translation managed to keep all the terms consistent with stuff fans have been using for years.

Sometimes I wonder what if Idea Factory got something like FFXV's budget and how they would manage to squander it or gently caress it up. Then again they already stretch tiny budgets across entire decades.

It used to be that no amount of gently caress ups would make you fail, but I believe the PS4 rerelease actually fails you halfway through, or at least by the time you get to the meat locker.
