Most people point out how its noticably worse than the other ones.
But how would i know. I only played 3 and was completely baffled by these complex and deep characters and their intricate relationships with each other.

There wasn't enough Sully in it, Sam was a loser who was just kind of shady and flat, Elena beating the evil empire to finding Nate was silly.
A lot of the game was 'well I shouldn't do this' (going on an adventure with the shady brother and lying to elena) and occasionally someone shows up to tell you you're stupid for doing it. Sometimes with a mildly interactive cutscene.
If there was more Victor Sullivan in the game it would't be so divisive, imo.

I know this is slightly off topic, but are any of the DS3 clones worth a poo poo? I bought a used PS3 to play Nier but the controller that came with it is pretty worn out.

It's worth it just to get a proper ds3, I'm sure there's a sale somewhere.

How BAD is Killzone Shadowfall? Last one I played was Killzone on the PS2 and was decent for these days but should I just wait until they give it for PSNow or drops to 5$?

The other Killzones are fun shooters, even the one on the psp. Shadowfall was miserable, more focused on you getting to the next cutscene than actually being enjoyable.

This is cool. I put the RE7 disc in my OG PS4 and the console now sounds like a prop plane. It's vibrating harder than ever before and the disc isn't even doing anything; it's all installed, it's just making a racket even when the disc aught to be idle.

Clean your PS4, get a can of air or something and get the dust off your fans.
Even if it's only a little bit it'll help.

Playing Hotline Miami with a controller is awful, you can get by (I've beat the first one on vita) but the precision of a mouse is a huge help.
Also 2 has a big problem with wide open rooms and enemies you can't see having guns and shooting you from offscreen, among other nit picky things.
Play Hotline Miami 1 with the music turned up and have a good time.

I think I remember that clip, actually. I'm honestly not sure where that clip came from, though, because none of the other dialogue scenes you can find look even close to that bad. They look better than Fallout 4 and Mass Effect, at least.

I regularly play through the mass effect series and for its flaws ME does cutscenes better than that h:zd scene by far.
Unless you're going off of intentionally broken scenes on youtube I guess?

Speaking of Dark Souls 2, it looks like a bunch of people are getting together to start fresh characters on the 25th!
That might mean you'll get more opportunities to summon and be summoned, it definitely means there will be invaders at all times.

None of Taro's games have been all that pervy and when they approach that they justify it or make it so hosed up you shouldn't really be getting off on it. Even Drakengard 3, which had a lot of sex obsessed characters, didn't really play to titillate as much as to make you go :wtc:

You'd think characters talking about loving would be more satisfying!
Drakengard 3 is so good by the way, there's still time to beat it before N:A. There's one whole character that seems to transfer over, but what really transfers over is how gross Decadus is.

Dark Souls 2 had the problem of the original director that Miyazaki appointed while he worked on Bloodborn being taken off the project and a new guy had to scrap previous builds which by all accounts were barely functioning and unfun and couldn't run on last gen consoles at a decent framerate and then try and stitch what they had into a coherent game. It did have a lot of good ideas though and the DLC for Dark Souls 2 is some of the best content in the series.

So naturally, 3 scrapped a good number of things 2 introduced (but kept a lot of the really bad stuff from 2 for some reason) and just made Dark Souls 1 again, but this time with some Bloodborne's aesthetic and animation speeds. I don't dislike Dark Souls 3, but out of every Souls game including Demon's Souls it is the game I'll probably replay the least.

Miyazaki directed Dark Souls 3 so it's perfect, actually.

Okay I take back what I said before, the talky in Horizon is good for setting up an open world game. There's nothing like being on a mission from god to give you license to do all the normal open world stuff.

edit: I'm worried I'm gonna get this story and the one of Nier Automata mixed up in my head though, since both are about a post-apoaclyptic world covered with hostile machines for mysterious reasons.

I don't think you'll get Yoko Taro writing mixed up with anything else.

If you get the non-official remote play program you can get the wireless password for your ps4 and connect to it directly. There's no other solution I've seen so far.

Nier: Automata is so good. I almost wish I was one of those people that took time off work to play.

Nier Automata has 21 gag endings, five proper endings. Also I HIGHLY recommend clearing up 6 slots for Death Rattle for your Ending C run, it just feels right. Always quicksave when using fast travel because it isn't a temp save it's just faster than going to the other menu, quick.

Also lol goons "These characters who just met sound really awkward around each other!"
