outside of games? it's currently the best bluray/amazon prime video/crunchyroll player i own and the second-best netflix player (chromecast still wins that one)Pisscubes wrote:
Setting aside games since it's just come out and I don't expect a ton of them at this point, what are the improvements/features you like most about ps4 in comparison to the last gen console?
again, not really selling points but between all those things, i use it daily.
if there's anybody in the world who'd be fucking unobservant enough to actually damage themselves with trap-soap I guess it'd be the guy with dialup in 2007

The Witcher 3...probably not until Fall this year or maybe later.Pisscubes wrote:Anything at ALL coming up in the pipeline you guys are stoked about?
All the old school rpgs (Wasteland 2, Pillars of Eternity, Divinity: Original Sin, Dead State, etc), Resident Evil 4 HD that was just put up on Steam for pre-order, Dark Souls 2 coming out this year and my pathetic backlog = no new console for WM this year and possibly next year, too. If Titanfall comes out on Steam, I might check it out but if it's Origin only then I'll pass.
I'd wait until they release the slim versions of the new consoles unless you absolutely need to play a certain gaming coming out soon.

metal gear solid V ground zeroes (and MGS V)

witcher 3
infamous seconds son (ps4)
watch dogs
dying light
titanfall (xbone)
new dragon age (please dont suck)

i'm kinda surprised bethesda hasn't announced anything for the next gen consoles yet. obviously fallout 4 is in development, but it seems like a long time since skyrim came out and there's still no official info for anything else, let alone a release date. SUCKS

i think that's being done by a separate studio or split-off team or something, but maybe it is diverting resources. from what i've read about the beta, ES:O is endless fetch quests and boring combatFVBTVS wrote:do you think elder scrolls online might have anything to do with it?

Started assassin's creed liberation last night while on acid. I had to restart training twice but after that seemed to get the hang of it. Scales nicely to my older computer once I dropped the res.

I live in Vancouver now! This stuff is pretty mild tho, not recommended for a spiritual journey, more like an enhancement to a concert or something.

I'm playing too. It's a lot of fun.

Re: The Bill's Now Playing Video Game Thread (Now with Bames
I finally played Soul Sacrifice online last night in some pick-up games. Holy fuck this game is so much fun with 3 other dudes playing together! Good way to farm boss soul essences because you really just plow through them. Was playing with a 50/50 dude, a 10atk/90def dude, and a 85atck/1def dude. I thought I had the best spells figured out but everyone was using completely different shit, very cool.

Re: The Bill's Now Playing Video Game Thread (Now with Bames
yeah man, i got an invite last night from you but i only had about 10 minutes before i went to bed. my character is up to like 22/14...not sure why i've saved so many enemies, it's probably a mistake not just focusing on sacificing. hopefully that's good enough for some online play. i'm almost done with all the story missions (going to try to beat it in the next few days) and i've been working my way through the avalon pacts here and there.
what's your normal loadout like? the basic one i use all the time has one slot for each element, so i can hopefully make an enemy vulnerable then get the skillful attack or whatever it's called for massive damage, and then a group heal. it seems rare that i actually get that vulnerability bonus though, so i'm wondering if certain types of attacks (like throws) aren't as good as offerings that let you punch shit when it comes to exploiting weaknesses. it also seems like some enemies have no weaknesses, which sometimes makes it take forever to kill them
overall though i like soul sacrifice a lot. the story part is so fucking dark, great music too. i really hope delta has enough new stuff to warrant buying it. from what i've read it's going to be kind of like soul sacrifice 1.5

Re: The Bill's Now Playing Video Game Thread (Now with Bames
I usually have ice darts, fire darts, fire trident (fastest melee weapon you swing), I have the boss spell from the jackolantern which you turn into this big fire ball and berzerler roll from far away. I also use the frost golem, which summon a giant golem that sits in one place and smashes things (and soaks damage and boss attention). I have one self-heal spell. You will want to change the sigils on your arm to make sure they are boosting what kind of spells you're loading.Spooky Apparition wrote:yeah man, i got an invite last night from you but i only had about 10 minutes before i went to bed. my character is up to like 22/14...not sure why i've saved so many enemies, it's probably a mistake not just focusing on sacificing. hopefully that's good enough for some online play. i'm almost done with all the story missions (going to try to beat it in the next few days) and i've been working my way through the avalon pacts here and there.

Also, I don't know if you noticed, if you get multiple spells, and you press triangle on them in the arm yourself screen, on the it allows you to "boost" (combine) 2 of an item to create one with a stars, which gives you one more cast of it before it runs out (this isn't the same thing as combinging two different types of spells). THEN, if you create two of these, and combine them, you'll create one with 2 stars. Then combine two of those, and create 3 stars. Then, if you combine 2 of the 3 star items, it'll create the next level up of that item. I farmed about 100 of the jackolantern boss spells to create a super spell, because you don't get it from drops. Now its fucking unstoppable.
Also, if you're having trouble with a boss because it keeps charging you and you can't get out of the way, load out with a shield, all of the boss charges will bounce off of you. That's the only thing those are good for, really.
Level your guy however you want, I mean, like I said last night I was playing with a guy with 10atk, and 90def and he was indestructible. Depends on your play style. And you can always remove levels from your defense and level your atk more late in the game. ALSO, you end up having to farm soul essences from saving guys to unlock certain sigils anyways so you're gonna end up wasting time doing that at some point.
EDIT: I haven't had trouble getting the vulnerability bonus from my darts, you just gotta be using the correct element. Also, if you spam ice, or fire, or stone darts it can incapacitate bosses ("inferno, ice hell, stone hell") and then if you use spam a different element dart you get a 'skilled attack' bonus. You don't have to wait for your dart to "lock on" as long as you're pointed at the bosses just hammer the spell button for it.
If you're having trouble with a boss, go back and level for a bit!
