Ys 8: Lacrimosa of Dana on PS4. I’m really enjoying although, I think this game is a bit too long for an action RPG.

Modern Ys games, have a really satisfying and extremely fast paced combat system, and this is no exception. Story wise, though, it only gets interesting in the last third of the game.

I’m on the final chapter right now, looking forward finishing the game next week.

Rascabin, do gaming w Is PS4 (or modern console) games need to be installed?

Not all but some do. It depends on the developer. I think there is a website that lists which games need to download additional data. Just search for it.

sparky,

Half right. They all need to be installed, as in run from the hard drive and not directly off the disc. Some games require you to also download even more content, as in, the disc doesn’t have all the data needed to run the game.

Rascabin,

TIL

SomethingBurger, do games w Games that require you to unlock the basic functions of the game can suck my nuts.

One of the Pokémon games has audio settings behind an unlock.

Grangle1,

Ugh, it took me so long to find that when playing Pokémon Sword so I wasn’t deafened by the cries whenever someone Dynamaxed.

Remember when earlier gens locked the run button behind an unlock?

Fuck the running shoes too.

I’ve finished the game, and thought it was a pretty decent experience. Pacing is a little weird, but the gameplay loop is fun, and the story is engaging enough. Grab it on sale

The solution is slow depletion of title power in order to drive competition. Basically, encourage each others and yourself to explore other games that aim for the same goals as the original property, ideally expanded with some vision of innovation.

For Pokémon, players could likely try out Casette Beasts. For Silent Hill, there are other survival horror properties examining psychological properties of their heroes, like Cry of Fear and The Park.

Keegen, do games w What did you think of Sea of Stars?

Oh, I thought that the conches were entirely a completionist thing, learning that they are required for the true ending puts a damper on my desire to finish this game… It was a fun game, but I got no desire to 100% it. Oh well, guess I’ll just watch the true ending on YouTube instead.

  • Keegen,

    I know about the bird, I just have absolutely no desire to go hunting through the maps for the one chest I missed. I’m not a completionist, and this game was definitely not incredible enough to get me to become one.

    MrScottyTay, do games w What did you think of Sea of Stars?

    I absolutely loved it. Looked forward to every session playing it. I wish it lasted a little bit longer before it forced you to collect everything to get a true ending which I haven’t done yet. And the fact you have to collect everything is a bit of a bummer. Didn’t really feel like going on a scavenger hunt. I enjoyed searching for that stuff while playing but didn’t really want to do it with that being the only thing available to do now.

    kby, do games w Apparently, all you need to do to "git gud" in an online FPS is to reduce hand "stress" while aiming.

    Older games used to have this by default. I remember playing Quake II with fire bound to CTRL alongside with mouse look enabled.

    This really is a good answer.

    sub_, do gaming w Star Ocean: The Second Story R - Review Thread

    This game looks good, and I’ve never played the old 2D Star Ocean games (the 3D ones I’ve played, Divine Force and Lymle Double Trouble, disappointed me)

    I guess I need to start with First Departure which I bought at a sale recently.

    You don't really need to start with First Departure.

    chatokun,

    This one got me into Star Ocean (2) back on ps1, and I think it’s been my favorite/most impactful. Might just be because of it being the first one.

    Not many alternatives, other than playing older titles with overhaul mods like Divide e Impera
