lite frisk posted:I doubt this would be a pivotal consideration in Sony's strategy with the PS+ collection, but I definitely wonder how much it has helped attract completely new console purchasers -- specifically those like me basically driven by Covid. This is my exact situation. Very excited to get the PS5, have no idea which game I'm gonna start with but it's gonna make the long winter a lot easier.

I know there was some chatter about this earlier, so just wanna sound off on the disc drive noise while playing 4k blurays - there is none. Sounded just as quiet as when I'm playing digital games. I have it set horizontally fwiw, dunno if that would be different vertical. Also, working through Yakuza K2 now and it's extremely fun. Love just running around knocking over bikes with the new engine.

Elden Ring looks really cool and I will play it if it has a map. I get horribly lost in every FROM game because I have a miserable sense of direction and can't play 3d games without maps.

Aidan_702 posted:I bought the first metroid prime maybe a couple of months after it came out and I loving hated it and gave up for like a year. I wish I had that luxury, but really I just get so stupidly lost even if there are landmarks/memorable environments. I could maybe suffer through it if I wasn't also dying every few steps, but every time I've tried one of their games I just stumble aimlessly through the first section, get lost, die, try to find my way back to where I died and just go in circles. Just completely unplayable for me, unfortunately. I got lost in that one area you go when you die in Bloodborne, for example, and just circled it for like 20 minutes. But if there's a map, oh baby, I could actually get somewhere maybe. I got lost in real life a ton before GPS on phones, btw, so this is more of a Me problem than anything else. But it still stinks to be essentially locked outta these games that everyone else says are the best of the previous generation.

Mr.Fuzzywig posted:Finally got my ps5 delivered. Thoroughly enjoying ghosts of Tsushima right now. I’m planning on playing both Spider-Man’s next. Any other suggestions? I haven’t had a console since ps2 I also hadn't owned a console since the PS2 generation, and I gotta recommend checking out the Yakuza series. Just finished the spinoff game Judgment today and thought it was brilliant. You should be able to find it very cheap, and it runs like a dream on PS5 to the point that I don't understand why it's getting a rerelease in a couple months.

A week ago I was complaining about Bloodborne being inaccessible to me because there wasn't a map, but it turns out that was wrong. I'd still like there to be a map and I get lost a ton, but I defeated Amygdala last night after playing it all weekend. Game rules. Just ordered a copy of Demon's Souls.

Sakurazuka posted:Souls games generally make areas distinct enough that you don't really need a map to navigate, unless getting lost and confused is the point (Forbidden Woods). I just have a broken sense of direction, so I get turned around a lot whenever a game gives me control of the camera. Even just a compass would be a tremendous help in a souls game, but I'm pushing through. Forbidden Woods was annoying, but made me all the more determined to gently caress that boss up so I didn't have to go through it again.

BeanpolePeckerwood posted:Just to let you know, the FROM games usually have amazing art books that also double as strategy guides. You can usually get them for a reasonable price on release, if that helps, tho getting one of them now that they're out of print will see a 300% markup. Trying to avoid that due to the discovery being one of the things I'm enjoying so much. So I wouldn't want a map that actually tells me where stuff is, if that makes sense. I just would like something handy to catch my bearings from time to time. But I am getting through it and still enjoying it enough to order Demon's Souls, so obviously it's not as much of a problem as I initially thought it'd be. Central Yarnham & the forest were the worst places for me tbh.

RichterIX posted:The main thing that annoys me (which is going to start a chorus of "buy digital" from everyone here) is that if you don't play a disc game for a while it moves it off the home screen, but you can't check for updates on titles in your library, so if you just wanted to start an update for later or something you have to put the disc in the PS5 and start the game to trigger the update. I wish there was a "gently caress your bandwidth cap" setting that just kept every installed game updated instead of just the ones on your home screen. Mine has been updating games with every patch when they come out? Like, it's been giving me the newest Yakuza 7 patches even though I haven't played it since I beat it in December, and it's disc... Anyway, beat Bloodborne today, phenomenal game, wish I had been less of a baby and played it much sooner... but the goddamn final boss trophy glitched or something, because I didn't get one after defeating the final final boss. I saw all three endings, started in on NG+ for a couple hours, and then noticed I only have trophies for two of them. Nuts.

morallyobjected posted:please let me know when you go through World 3-1 in Demon's Souls and how you feel about it. This is Latria, right? That one hasn't been terrible navigation-wise. I've made it to the boss. As for the rest of the game though, the map design on this is so awful in places. I spent like an hour going through the tunnels (2-2?), completely lost, slowly chipping away at those stupid giant lava bugs, only to die to a pool of lava I accidentally dipped my toe in. Now that there's no trail of treasures to follow to get back there, I'll almost certainly never make it back (not to retrieve my souls, those are long gone). Kinda not enjoying this game.

A HORNY SWEARENGEN posted:There is no shame in watching a guide to navigate 2-2. That's just one example. I feel like every area I'm in right now has these tight narrow corridors where the camera fucks up, and if I manage to get through that nonsense then there's some giant damage sponge blocking my path where I just have to sit there casting spells at it for minutes, because it'll kill me in one hit and if I try to dodge I roll into some trap or pit or whatever. Just a lot of unfun design decisions that weren't there in Bloodborne, which is a game that always felt fair. The positive points are that the dragons in the first world are genuinely very scary, and the rolling skeleton guys are very funny. I dunno, I'll keep plugging away at it for a bit, but I'm guessing I won't finish this and probably will trade in my copy. Will probably still try Elden Ring cuz I get the sense that From has learned a lot since this was made.

A HORNY SWEARENGEN posted:The lava bugs are there for a reason. If you're a magic guy they're a gently caress you. If you're a barbarian you can swat them in one hit. I gave it another shot this morning with a clear head, died five times to the boss of 2-2, four of which were due to the lovely camera bugging out. Died several more times on the path down to that boss because I missed a platform by a centimeter. Looked at the other stages that I had available to me, and then just closed the game. This one ain't for me. Basically everything that I liked about Bloodborne is absent. Bummed, but different strokes and all. Will trade in for something more my speed.

PantsBandit posted:Starting to get into the late-game in my Bloodborne replay. Cainhurst Castle is one of my fave environments from a Dark Souls game, it's just so atmospheric and spooky. Cainhurst was one of my favorite places when playing through, too. Was basically the dream of a 3D Castlevania nearly realized. Just needed some sweet Goblin-inspired organ tunes in the background.

grassy gnoll posted:It's all good, fish dude. The world is monstrous and the only refuge we can find is in what few pleasures remain to us, like posting. There is also an option to just turn the monster damage off, and I can confirm that it's spooky enough without them hurting you, especially if you're one of those people terrified of underwater areas. Very good game, with a pretty unique (for games) and engaging plot.

Vikar Jerome posted:judgment owns and you should all play it and have it be one of the big thread mascot games you fucks who ignored it in 2019. I played it earlier this year and agree. Incredible experience, had one of the best laughs in the series at the very end of the game when a whole bunch of doctors try to get in your way, and your group just one-shots all of them. But I also don't think the PS5 upgrade is probably gonna be worth it, graphics looked incredible already (most convincing facial animations I've ever seen in a game), and this seems to be a side-grade at best. Load times were already barely there when playing on PS5.

cvnvcnv posted:I've played RE 0, Director's Cut, 2, 2 Remake, 3, 3 Remake, CV, 4, 5, 6, and 7. My thoughts are about the same in general for all of them: that was stupid as poo poo and dumb as turd, and I liked it! Except 7 which was fairly boring to me and embarrassing, like I was playing a Rob Zombie movie game. It's got none of the Rob Zombie-ness. Inspirations this time were pretty clearly old Universal monster movies, not Saw and Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Different vibe, lots of fun, though the plot of it is a direct sequel to 7 if you care about understanding what's going on at all.

Gutcruncher posted:The only actual ps5 games I’ve bought, not counting the handful I have that got free upgrades, have been demons souls and Dirt 5. If you turn off raytracing in RE8, it stays at a solid 60 throughout. Otherwise it noticeably dips in the watery area. Controller has some trigger resistance stuff that seemed unnecessary, don't think there's any haptic stuff, if there is it's nothing I've noticed.

Switching to it from other games I've found that for the first time in my memory I feel compelled to enter a game's audio options and just turn everything down. I feel like 30% BGM and 10% SFX is sane. What's going on? Not just you, I had to do the same thing.

TasteTheRambo posted:Can someone PLEASE help me with my issue of my PS5 turning itself on whenever it pleases? "HDMI Device Link" is OFF. "Remote Play" itself is OFF. "Turn On Via The Internet" is OFF. I've changed BOTH of my controllers to communicate with the PS5 via USB Cable. It shouldn't be possible for it to do this anymore. Its doing it seemingly randomly. I'm waking up during the night to take a piss only to find my tv and PS5 on and I have to clear he house to make sure no ones been in my house. I'm losing my loving mind. Do you have the media remote? Mine was randomly turning my ps5 on, had to pull the batteries out and then realized I never needed the thing at all so now it sits in a drawer.

Frankston posted:I uninstalled demon's souls, that game is really loving boring imo and I wasn't enjoying any aspect of it at all. This was my reaction to Demon's Souls as well, and I loved Bloodborne. I really hated the troll level design combined with the garbage camera. Have reinstalled it a couple times just to see and came away with the exact same feeling each time. I have since played and loved Dark Souls 3 (up to the final boss, at which point I decided I'd had enough since I prefer the exploration to the boss fights so there was nothing left for me to really get into), and am really looking forward to Elden Ring.
