Is there any indicator of a game's install progress from disc? Aside from the system making a different noise - I do it so rarely I was like what is that

Nope. Yakuza 0 is a prequel to everything but it'll introduce you to characters that are seen in later games.

First impressions of Yakuza 0:
Story and acting are great as usual.
Graphics are definitely a bit dated but the animations and character models look excellent and seeing a Yakuza game run so smoothly is amazing.
Really glad it seems to have sold out in a lot of places. Hopefully it sends a message to Sega that people want these ports. I can't wait for Kiwami and the fact that six has Takeshi Kitano in it is so cool to me.

0 and Kiwami are going to look dated as they are cross gen games so they were still taking the PS3 into account during development. 6 is the one to pay attention to on visual improvements. But still they look good for what they are.

RE7 chat. I got past the garage and did a video hiding sequence I was led to believe this game was not Alien isolation hiding, which I don't exactly care for. Does that lessen as an empowerment curve, or it this what Im in for. I think Im early enough that I might just restart on easy. The instant death hiding is not fun, it only works if you successfully evade the first time, after that it feels really gamey and scripted.

Advice me.

I think that's the only time you have to do that considering you're playing as another character at that time.

Yakuza 0 is really enjoyable as my first Yakuza game, but I'm noticing that I'm watching this game more than playing it. Having finished chapter 1, does it expand beyond the 10 minute cutscenes, or am I going to be only occasionally brawling and playing Space Harrier with this thing?

It's going to be all intro stuff for the first couple chapters. After that you can do what you want. Sidestories unlock with each new chapter.

Chiming in to say that Boost Mode gives a more consistent framerate in Yakuza 0 in the back parts of Kamurocho that sometimes make the game a little framey. Totally gone from what I can tell.

Does boost mode even do that much for Bloodborne? The game runs at a pretty stable 30 fps but feels choppy overall due to incorrect frame pacing. Boost mode is not going to help with frame pacing issues.

There a few spots in game where it goes sub-30. Boost mode negates that, but yes frame pacing is still a problem.

Huh, looks like every Gamestop in this country is sold out of PS4 Pros. Of course, every other store I checked seems to be doing just fine and have plenty of systems in stock. gently caress Gamestop.

(only reason I bother with Gamestop is the fact I live right next to one, was planning to go pick up a Pro today but I guess I'll go for another option)

the new gamestop policy where they fire you if you sell a new console and bigger purchases of new stock are worse for the clerks probably makes stocking the pro a really bad idea for regional managers

Is there a reason this is in the news everywhere as a "new" GameStop policy? Assuming the person wants used first and then taking the extra step and saying you want used/new isn't here or is worse is like, like literally since 2004 that's been a thing.

“We are telling people we don’t have new systems in stock so we won’t take a $300 or $400 dollar hit on our pre-owned numbers,” one GameStop employee told me in an e-mail, requesting anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to press. “This is company wide and in discussions with my peers it is a common practice. We also tell customers we don’t have copies of new games in stock when they are on sale—for example, Watch Dogs 2 is currently $29.99 new and $54.99 pre-owned. We just tell them we don’t have the new one in stock and shuffle them out the door.”

I'm aware of that, and I know it won't raise the existing framerate cap of older games, either. But games like Until Dawn could desperately use a hand in maintaining their target framerate.

It does help with Until Dawn but still could do better.

The 1.05 patch for FF15 claims it can run at 60fps on the Pro in light mode. It sure doesn't seem like it to me though.

Edit: definitely not in the city but once I got out on the road, maybe. Haven't been in combat yet though.

It definitely doesn't seem to hit it a lot and frame pacing makes it look choppier than it actually is.

Still getting acquainted with the PS4 Pro. Is it okay to leave the console on sleep mode for a long time, or is it safer to shut it down completely? One of the things I remember hearing about the PS4 is that you can leave it running and pick up your game instantly from where you left off. However, it seems like it would cause problems with performance after some point.

Rest mode owns, rest that poo poo.
