Neddy Seagoon posted:The DualSense's haptics are legitimately amazing, as are the force-feedback triggers. I honestly can't wait to see some proper PS5 exclusives put them to actual use. The DualSense is unreal. I’m a big ol dork about ~feel~ and nuanced control, immersion via physicality, manipulating the senses and all that and it’s a dream come true. It’s the coolest thing. I absolutely can’t wait to see more psgoons get their hands on it. It’s one of those things that makes me feel like I’m a kid again being blown away by new technology I got to try at Best Buy back in the day or something, haha. The fact that Sony put so much effort into evolving the way games are directly experienced is something I didn’t consider enough early on when the info was dropping. It’s a design focus (audio stuff too!) that makes me very confident about how the PS5 is going to grow through the years.

yo should I buy Demon’s Souls? Itching for more action game dualsense fuckery + real good audio and it would be neat to try again. I got it on the ps3 as my first souls game and bounced off so hard that it would be amusing to come back to it now. The screens and gameplay look incredible.

Escobarbarian posted:Bloodborne is my most-played PS game now at 129 hours despite only getting into it in August lmao You should effort post your feelings on the whole experience sometime (if you want). I love when people finally get into stuff they bounce off of over and over. Some people assume it’s stressful or something but I always try to do that with games, music whatever. Always something good behind those “aaahhhhh NOT FOR ME” roadblocks. I guess I’m nearly there with soulsbornes. Maybe not quite at your point but I was at the very end of Bloodborne and that’s way better than the old days of me failing the first hour or two over and over somehow lol. They’re good games. Gonna be hard to resist DeS while I keep hearing similar stories of people finally getting through that franchise barrier!

Necrothatcher posted:I was so sceptical about the activity cards on the dashboard, but I'm totally converted. Having 10 mins and being able to instantly zip from the home screen straight to the start of a quick Miles Morales challenge is a game-changer. I have this stupid thing (diagnosed ocd and anxiety lmao) about not trusting games to load right, even when hitting a continue button, so I always go old school and push through menus until I can manually select my save and whatnot. I think I need to break that habit this gen and start using those activity cards whenever I can. It’s a really neat feature. So far one of my absolute favorite things about the PS5 is that it respects my time and desire to spend it playing games vs not playing games in a way no console really has before. It is a very immediate combination of hardware and software. I don’t have a hectic schedule or kids or anything and I still find that it’s so much easier to take like a half hour to pop in and look around the ps store and then boot up a game for a bit. In a few years I think we will look at long loading times as an extremely dated thing that we can’t even imagine we dealt with during the ps4 era.

2020 started with me being a bit burned out on a lot of games. Then my PS4 died when I needed it most and I kinda lost interest in the gaming world throughout the summer. I managed to grab a PS5 preorder and have been playing... mostly PS4 games lmao. Ghost of Tsushima and Cyberpunk 2077 are taking up most of the time. I loving love these games, even with the bugs in the latter. I haven’t been thoroughly blown away by much in the open world space since RDR2 but these two really do it for me while going for totally different approaches. They’re a perfect 1-2 punch cap to this dumb bizarre year.

Necrothatcher posted:Kind of a random question, but what it is about Cyberpunk that makes it need so much grunt to run? I mean, it's an open-world FPS game - I'd have thought the majority of the technical hurdles in that genre were long solved. Is there some big leap in tech that means it can't be scaled down properly or is it just badly put together. Or both? Both. It’s an absolutely gorgeous game and has the most expansive and detailed game city I’ve ever seen. It was never going to be able to run with all the bells and whistles on older hardware but it can/should/will eventually run far better than it does now.

Sharks and oceans and open world games are my poo poo. Maneater looks really fun, like one of those mid budget open world rpgs you can just get lost in without holding it to some high tier expectations. Seems real fun to zone out in. Is that accurate? I might install it later.

Colonel Whitey posted:Yeah I mean it's nice to remain unspoiled but I don't want to be one of those losers who whine about spoilers. Besides, if a thing is ruined due to spoilers then it probably wasn't very good to begin with. It has nothing to do with a thing being ruined, it has to do with the player’s experience. Don’t get me wrong I’m not trying to make a big deal out of it but I think respecting and encouraging people’s preferences in how they experience art and movies and games is a universally positive thing to do. While it may not mean much to one person, another might have their whole week made by a totally fresh pure of spoilers experience. Again, not a huge deal though just wanted to throw my thoughts in.

I got really into RE7 and spent like 5 hours playing it when I got it and then literally never touched it again. I have no clue why. It was cool even if I normally hate unbeatable enemy hiding and running games. Definitely switches up that formula though for the better. Maybe I’ll restart it before 8 because drat that looks cool. The atmosphere and sound/art design in these games is fantastic.

Kinda late to this but my getting good @ souls games (by good I mean I almost completed bloodborne before og ps4 death) mostly revolved around me realizing if I leaned into what I’m decent at as a musician I could excel at the systems in the game. There’s a lot of rhythmic/musical mindset stuff going on. Anticipation, learning to move with the flow of the combat while being able to impose your own presence. Knowing the balance of sitting back and reading the room vs jumping in because you’ve built familiarity with the way things works. You have to develop those senses as well as your understanding of the actual rhythms and animations in play. It’s cool. Sure you could say this about quite a few other games or even games in general but from software makes it the foundation.

Yo wtf the Immortals Fenyx Rising demo is so much fun even without being able to customize your character and all. I like this game... wasn’t sure that I would. I might have to buy it. It’s really charming and even as a usual AC apologist the combat is noticeably snappier here than something like AC Odyssey. I like that they don’t hide from the BotW influence at all because why bother, it’s Good Gaming. Who cares if it’s not the most original thing in the world if it’s a good time. Does it hold up throughout the rest of the game pretty well?

J-Spot posted:I enjoyed it all the way through getting the platinum. Plenty of it will just be iterations on the same thing but they sprinkle in enough new ideas to keep things interesting. The character upgrade opportunities are pretty satisfying as well if you like feeling like an unstoppable badass by end game. Sounds good! I’m definitely grabbing this eventually. Most likely when it gets a decent PSN price drop again. It’s probably worth it at $60 for me but I have so much to play as is

Especially since you have a PS5 now and you can turn in ray tracing and 60 FPS, etc, Played through it around launch and you can be sure I’ll pop in again as soon as the new free version drops  I can’t even imagine how nice it’s going to look and play now. It deserved much better than last gen hardware. Control is so much fun, I’m glad a bunch of people are about to be introduced to it.

BeanpolePeckerwood posted:hoping for good things with this game I haven’t been following it really but same. Car combat is so much fun and there’s a lot of cool poo poo devs can do with modern physics engines and such. Not quite the same but I’m hoping Wreckfest gets a PS5 update sometime. That’s a solid game.

Huh yesterday multiple times I was thinking about Fenyx Rising but kept saying “eh it’ll be on sale tomorrow”. Every time I realized that was based on nothing at all but it continued to pop into my head. I wake up today and the gold edition is $60 and the regular is $35. Not quite the $30 disc price that was linked itt but I will always take a moment to appreciate a little high strangeness. Is the gold edition worth it? What’s the dlc like?

RichterIX posted:Will someone reassure me that, as someone who buys an Ubisoft open world game every few years and then promises to never do it again, Immortals isn't going to be the one that breaks the streak? It's only $30 on Amazon right now and I'm itching all over Alright here’s the deal, I’m an ubi apologist and I like most of the AC games quite a bit. Immortals is probably my favorite ubisoft game they’ve made in years. It’s focused, the gameplay is very responsive and feels like a “best of” of AC attacks/mechanics. The BotW stuff is done well, doesn’t feel like a cheap knockoff, and the world is interesting and beautiful to explore. Story isn’t the most compelling thing in the world at least around 10 hours in but the characters are charming enough to carry it. It’s a very solid buy for $30 but make sure to give the demo a go first.

Control really is fantastic when you’re going at it fast and not worrying about reading every single thing. The downside of it is that they’re really good. Definitely don’t skip them first time through if you’re new to it. You don’t need to read every single one though, trust your instincts. Probably some of the best lore/flavor text I’ve seen in a game. As a quick loading rapid pace sort of game, god it’s even better somehow my second time in. Remedy games feel so good to Control that I don’t even mind the more dull parts, if there really are any.

gooby pls posted:RDR2 is a snail paced cowboy simulator where every step and action you take is deliberately and slowly executed.  I’ve been somewhat itching for a replay though. RDR2 is still one of my few 10/10 games and it’s kind of bonkers how barely anything since has captured me in the same way. The controls and gameplay that some seem to really dislike are a main reason too. It feels so right when you become familiar with it. Nothing controls like RDR2, like god drat it’s so satisfying to just horse around and explore the map and actually get a sense that it’s you+horse+varying environment with very satisfying physics at play. I can’t say I’ve ever felt more ~~~immersion~~~ than that game. From the dialogue, to the setting, the gameplay, the sound design (holy poo poo the sound). I miss it. I’ll be all over a PS5 remake. Playing RDR2 at 60fps sounds mindblowing, I don’t even really care if the graphics are much improved. lol im back to being a fps dork like the old days
