Ground floor after it smashed through my entertainment center, weakened by mass and heat

My first console since x360, my first ps since ps2. Excited to get immediate access to all the ps4 library I missed as I branch out from PC master race devotion for the past decade

as someone who works in tech my bet is that those pop ups are completely fake, generated from random info, to screw with your psychology

Platinumed Tsushima & Dad of War last December, already debating which one to NG+. Love those games.

What are the chances of PS5 patches for Sekiro or Death Stranding? Also can we crowdfund a hundred mil for Bluepoint to remaster Bloodborne

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

For a counterpoint I will say that as the same profile of person, choosing between Immortals & AC Valhalla, I bought ACV and dropped it in ~5 hours because it felt like poo poo after coming off of Ghost of Tsushima, God of War, and Demon's Souls. Following all the conversation since then I wish I had gotten Immortals instead (I haven't played it but it's much more universally liked).

I've been meaning to pick up The Last of Us 2 (maybe I was holding off for a PS5 remaster like the PS4 one for the first?) but this absolutely cements my need for it.

I was doing the same thing but came to the conclusion that no remaster was coming. Turns out the performance tweaks (i.e. 60fps) were enough to make it feel great. Just go for it

Doom 2016 is good, Doom Eternal was also good. It's cool if you prefer one to the other, or neither, or whatever. But they were both good and fun.

Anyway I just started Judgment this morning and the first thing that occurred to me is how much better Cyberpunk 2077 would've been if RGG got the license and did it in their style instead of CDPR.

Hello friends, my TV is getting on in years and with good looking games coming out starting in Feb I think it’s time for a new one. I think I’ve heard people talk about the LG CX, is that the generally agreed upon best for games and movies? Also I remember TVs used to go on sale around Feb for the Super Bowl, is that still the case?

becoming really hooked on playing ghost of tsushima legends mode even outside of my weekly game night with my buddy.

starting to jump on with randoms to go through survival mode on a higher difficulty than i'm used to just so i can level up, unlock new game modes (after level 100), and of course maybe most importantly... get sweet sweet new gear.

legends mode is really good, i was addicted to it for a month or two

I cannot justify buying and starting Horizon because I will drop it like a stone for months once Elden Ring comes out a week later. And yet, during that week, the fact that it will be out and I could be playing it will be tormenting me.

If Sifu reviews are as good as the previews have promised, I'll probably grab that to tide me over until Elden Ring. Horizon will wait until summer or fall.

I'm enjoying Sifu a lot, let me share with people who are struggling with it what's worked for me.

First off, I highly recommend rebinding some buttons. I moved guard from L1 to Circle, pick up weapon from Circle to L1, and then takedown to L1 + R1. It took a few runs of getting used to it but once I was used to it, it feels much better.

The path I took was trying stage 1 a few times until I beat it at a reasonable age (around 30), then moved on to practice and explore stage 2. I threw myself at stage 2 several times until I got to the boss, who crushed me every time I got close. Then I went back and did stage 1 which now felt like a cakewalk. Did that a few times until I got out at age 21. I basically considered the stage beaten at that point, at which point I attempted stage 2 until I could beat the boss (watching a youtube video showing his combos also helped - annoyingly there's no way to practice a boss outside of getting to them and that can feel like a waste, so don't worry about getting some tips if you're stuck). After beating stage 2 around age 50, I explored stage 3. Same thing from here. Practice on stage 3 until you get better, than go back to stage 2 until you can stomp it. I'm now starting stage 3 on age 23. You can do it too! Just stick to it and you'll feel like a kung fu master soon enough.

Also, I think someone in this thread said it but it bears repeating - avoid consists basically of two directions, guard + up when they sweep, and guard + any other direction for high or straight on. I thought there were 3 directions, where a high swing/strike needed to be dodged low - nope. It's simpler than it looks.
