Videogame Discussion Thread

I guess keep us posted on how it goes. Switch controllers are stupid expensive so any discount would help. Bought a Switch for my nephew for Christmas and he needs a second actual controller that isn’t a sideways joycon

 

I've been so tempted to get a Pro Controller. Zelda BOTW has been kicking my butt on button mashing accuracy, and it might be my only salvation. But $80 tasted bad any way you slice it...

 

I’m going to post this here as there has been a good amount of PSVR talk. If anyone would like to purchase my PSVR I’d sell it for 140 dollars.

This the the first version, is about a 5 weeks old with 10-15 hours use and will include all necessary cables, demo disc and the camera.

It’s in excellent shape and I think it’s very cool, I just seem to get a headache after 45-60 minutes of play time.

Feel free to send me a PM and if I shouldn’t be posting this here, please let me know.

 

$140 for proper VR is kind of nuts. If Zero decides he’d rather get a Vive or Oculus instead, I’d be interested

 

The new Vive seems nice. I've been holding out waiting for the next wave of headsets. Seems like an exciting field to work in. There is so much room for improvement for the tech alone. Then there's the application of the tech.

I have a Playstation camera that's been sitting in a drawer since I bought it at launch. If you need one let me know.

 

@zerodeefex
Sent you a PM earlier, maybe it didn’t go they though.

Unfortunately I do not have the move controllers.


If I recall correctly Microsoft may be pushing out a VR headset as well. Anyone know anything about this?

 

If it's the original move controllers for the PS4, I may have a pair along with a base charger. You can have them for the shipping if you need them @zerodeefex .

 

I also have the Move controllers and a PS4 cam that I never use if for some reason Dave doesn’t send you his.

Anyone else playing Monster Hunter World? Haven’t started yet since I’m working this morning, but I’m looking forward to it. Haven’t really played MH since MH3U

 

Anyone else check out the PC benchmark for Final Fantasy XV?
http://benchmark.finalfantasyxv.com/en/

My results:
http://benchmark.finalfantasyxv.com...a76f4cb1996f&Resolution=1920x1080&Quality=Low
http://benchmark.finalfantasyxv.com...f10ae8020&Resolution=1920x1080&Quality=Middle
http://benchmark.finalfantasyxv.com...76f30da796a&Resolution=1920x1080&Quality=High

 

Check it out, looks like the benchmark is massively flawed.

 

I rather read the article: https://www.gamersnexus.net/game-be...ous-misleading-benchmark-tool-gameworks-tests

Don't see the point in videos where moving pictures are not of narrative use. Use the video as supplement when necessary, but it's just a static image and a dude talking for most of it.

 

I didn't have any graphical glitches that dramatic during my runs but did notice that with the high setting (GameWorks) it seemed more visually glitchy in that gut feeling -"something wrong?"- kind of way. It was slightly prettier but in no way did the difference justify the significant drop in frame rate. Especially during the fight at the end.

 

I really want an all black Super NT. These Giant Bomb console launch videos are great.

 

I'm currently playing my way through Wild Arms: Alter Code F, a PS2 game I didn't get to finish when I was younger (PS2 broke down for the nth time, cost of repair was a bit tough to swallow, etc). The game's obviously a bit dated at this point, but I've always had a massive soft spot for JRPGs, tropes and all.

Using an emulator because where does one even get a functional PS2 (that isn't coated in all sorts of grime) nowadays? Well my friend has one, but I think I'm more at ease with the emulator. Get to bump up the graphics a notch, too.

 

Anyone else playing Kingdom Come: Deliverance? Despite it's bugs and quirks the game is incredible fun and one of the best RPGs I've played in years.

 

You should check out What Remains of Edith Finch too if you dug Firewatch. It's got a much more far-fetched story but it's told well and the visuals are excellent.
