Tales Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 With you guys bringing up GTA I just had to buy San Andreas finally. Been thinking about doing it since they launched, but the honestly the graphics have put me off. They look a lot more awful than I can remember :p Just played an hour or two, but I intend to platinum it by a week or so. If it matters to Hero, it uses the right stick to move the camera. I have never owned GTAIII or vice city, but I have played parts or all of them. San Andreas is the only one of the PS2 games I owned myself. I'll consider to buy the other two when I'm done with San Andreas. Also have Rogue Galaxy, but only played the first chapter. Loved the game back on PS2 so intend to platinum this one too eventually.
drahkon Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 it uses the right stick to move the camera. Hm, that's interesting. Might sway towards San Andreas and get Vice City later this year. But Vice City was the first GTA I have completed...the nostalgia is real. Also have Rogue Galaxy, but only played the first chapter. Loved the game back on PS2 so intend to platinum this one too eventually. How "big" is Rogue Galaxy? Will it take 50+ hours to beat?
dan-likes-trees Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 Sounds amazing, too. Here's the Push Square review. I played the PC version on steam last year and thought it was absolutely fantastic - really evokes a kind of desperate mood through the music and the gameplay mechanics. Toward the end of the war I distinctly remember caving in and robbing a house, with an old couple cowering in the kitchen because my team were so desperate for medicine and food. Makes you take tough choices and you feel them.. Kind of a strategy game in some of it's mechanics - I'd be interested to hear how it holds up without a mouse.

It's been so long I can't remember how long I played, but it is a pretty long rpg. People say how the plat took them 80-100 hours. Edited January 22, 2016 by Tales Automerged Doublepost
drahkon Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 Thanks. That's a bit long. Not in the mood for such a long game. I just went with Vice City I want to wrap up Grim Fandango today and then it's GTA time

Jimbob Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 Playing the later GTA's (IV and V), then going back to the likes of Vice City, you do certainly notice the control differences. The game's not unplayable, just gets a little getting used to.
Fierce_LiNk Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 It must be coming up to a month since we bought our second PS4. Seriously...no regrets at all! By now, I thought buyer's remorse would have kicked in. But, it really, really hasn't. @Eenuh was playing Tearaway last night and I was tackling Uncharted 3. Feelsgoodman.jpg.
Shorty Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 It's been 18 days. Did you try swapping the cover yet??
Fierce_LiNk Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 It's been 18 days. Did you try swapping the cover yet?? Is that all? Jesus, feels longer. Hahahah, nooo. I suggested it, but I don't think she was very keen on the idea. I wonder if it would look better on a coloured console, rather than white. Will probably give it a go in a bit now that you've reminded me.
Fierce_LiNk Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 Time for a 3rd PS4 soon? Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
S.C.G Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 That HDD cover was awkward to remove when I installed a new hard drive in my PS4, that thing is never coming off my console for rest of its gaming life.

drahkon Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 Let me know how you get on with the controls. I have to say it only took me a couple of minutes to get used to the controls. Didn't mind not being able to control the camera with the left stick. What I found much more irritating was the fact that you use X to accelerate and square to break/reverse
Fierce_LiNk Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 Just finished The Unfinished Swan. Woooow! What a lovely little game. Can't believe I hadn't played it til now.
Ashley Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 Just finished The Unfinished Swan. Woooow! What a lovely little game. Can't believe I hadn't played it til now. You might have said... you left it unfinished until now.

Rummy Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 This isn't really PS4 specific but it's most applicable to me for PS4 really. I every once in a while wish for a very basic, yet very lazy(for me), feature of this nice new modern console. Seeing as the PS4, and I presume the Xbox One too, all download games to the hard drive and don't actually use the disc for anything other than verification - I wish I didn't have to swap discs as much. I know. It's super lazy. Get up, press a button, swap disc, sit down and play. Barely any effort really. Unless you're a disc-box shuffler like me, but even then it isn't heavily tiresome. Like...I wish for every time you put a disc in you could get another 5 boots of that game without the disc or so. I realise that one obvious solution for this is to go digital on purchases, but I'm more against that than I am being lazy(see Josh64's excellent How future-proof are modern games? in GGD). Is it just me? Am I that lazy? I have to actually admit there's been occasions where I've wanted a quick go of a game and genuinely because of having to get up and swap discs I've just played something that I've downloaded instead. I've actually avoided playing a game because I was too damn lazy to get up and swap discs. I think I have been thoroughly spoiled by modern media technology.
dazzybee Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 What version of Grim Fandango to people recommend? The PS4 or the Vita version?
Hero-of-Time Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 What version of Grim Fandango to people recommend? The PS4 or the Vita version? Neither.
dazzybee Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 Neither. Haha, just seen in the games played thread you didn't like it. I have good memories, but the way I'm binning off games if it hasn't aged well I won't bother!
