Had you played the base game on PS4 before?

I have not. Its been occupying basically all my non work hours and I think she is regretting the purchase to be honest.

Hope you enjoy the game. Don’t forget to really explore all the tools the game gives you. It’s not quite as Rock Paper Scissors as other games with a big toolset but it will definitely help you avoid frustrating fights if you’re getting your rear end kicked and step back for a moment to try a different plan/weapon.

Is there any reason to try go hard honorable samurai? Aside from honoring my samurai code and wanting my uncle to be proud of me?

Then combat is so visceral too. And the dual sense really adds a lot to the experience.

I actually am pretty excited to see how the dual sense gets used in games moving forward

Only thing I would change about sushi is getting rid of the archers. They're annoying rather than challenging and I think fighting them looks goofy as hell, especially when they still do their warning shout after all their buddies are dead.

My PS5 arrived today and it actually wasn't a box of rocks! First impressions are it's loving massive but the controller is very cool.

So, for someone who skipped out on the PS4 generation, what should I get? I'm downloading God of War and Horizon Zero Dawn at the moment. I did manage to play Bloodborne several years ago so not fussed about that but if anyone has any recommendations let me have it.

Just got my PS5 like 3 weeks ago and have been playing ghosts of tsushima basically non stop

Quick question, I've been chewing my way through sushi ghosts and have about 40 hours in and am about to finish the 2nd act. I decided to go to Iki island and so I don't spoil I'll just say shortly after arriving there is a cinematic where Jin talks about stuff that hasn't happened yet and Im wondering if I should have finished the main game first then headed to Iki?

Lobok posted:

Based on the character history and development of Iki Island, it could work before the end of the game where Jin resolves some personal things to get stronger for the final fight ahead. I don't know why this is the first thing that comes to mind but in the first TMNT movie there's a point where they all go out to a farmstead and lick their wounds and spiritually heal and then come back to the city for Shredder. Reminds me of that.

That said, based on enemy types and difficulty, it would seem weird to me playing Iki Island and then finishing the main game after.

Turns out I must have overwritten any recent save not on Iki so I am going with that head cannon. If nothing else maybe by the time I finish I can steam roll the end if the main game.
Loving this game and will eventually be doing NG+, may start up FF7 remake first since I impulse bought it a couple weeks ago.

I bought dark souls 3 complete edition or whatever for ps4 for a few bucks since I think it gets 60 fps on ps5 and I have never played a souls game.
Anyway this game is hard as poo poo and I can't get past the first areas boss.
I thought I was good at video games but I'm trash and kinda bummed I may never get to see a fraction of the content in this game.

Trust me, I only referred to your growing enjoyment of JRPGs, not humanity itself, and I don‘t wanna see a second or third impact on your growing love for roleplaying videogames designed in japan. I‘m just trying to shield you from FF VIII - which in itself ain‘t that bad - but not right after finishing FF VII. And since I mostly scroll this thread for Veeg trip reports, because it‘s honestly uplifting to read when you are enjoying a game, I just never want to read „yeah…this FF VIII….it‘s no FF VII for sure“, because that would make me very sad.

Many years ago I played VII and was super excited to start in on VIII.
The experience was so shocking and awful that I didn't play another JRPG for 5 years.

Zampella is a pretty prominent figure. Had a hand in making MoH famous, then co-created CoD, then got very publicly sued by Activision upon exit, founded IW and created Titanfall/2, then got absorbed by EA, was made a board member and his studio simultaneously dev'd one of The Three™ successful Battle Royales while also trying to save EA's Star Wars license from DICE. Now he runs the brand DICE used to be known for.

Zampella is Mr. FPS

Just for my 2 cents I had never have heard of him but I have been using my autism for good

Anyone have 1st hand experience with PS5 repairs? My PS5 is definitely defective and just shuts off due to overheating now when playing a small handful of online games. Clearing the cache and restoring factory default about a month ago stopped the issue exactly long to push it out of warranty but it started to happen again and now I’ve got to get a repair in and completed before February.

Tried calling yesterday and leaving a callback number but no one ever called :smith:

I was just kidding in my earlier post my biggest beef with Kingdom Hearts is I couldn’t keep track of the plot it was too convoluted and I just couldn’t get into it. Combat was fun though. I only played the first one but is it a safe assumption that it gets more convoluted in the follow ups?

I bought and bounced off of dark souls 3 but have an itch to get back to it, is it possible to summon someone to run through like, most of if not all of the game? It’s the first souls game I have hosed with and I have only a vague idea of the entire summoning process but I would feel better if someone could hold my hand through most of it.
