I’m glad to hear this. Bought it at launch, on PS4, which I understand had some of the worst problems. Maybe one of the most disappointing games I ever got after all the htype. Gave up after maybe two hours because of all the bugs.
I now have a PS4-Pro, and keep wondering if its finally time to give this game another go.
George Carlin said it best, yes a receding hairline is annoying, but no where near as bad as an advancing hairline.
Who would want to have to shave their forehead?
No, haven’t seen it, but will check it out.
So, the first 30 minutes go like this. Find the stuff to make and craft the knife, scanner, fins, air tanks, and building tool.
You can eat kelp and make bleach>water w salt and coral to stay alive, though it’s a LOT of kelp.
Then head straight to southern island to scan the multipurpose room, indoor and outdoor grow beds, and grab lantern fruit and marble mellons.
You can then build a base and grow all the food you will ever need. I stock up on a ton of bleach and make water as needed, though the food also restores some hydration.
I usually have this done before the Aurora explodes.
Once you have the cyclops you can plant in there as well. Three lantern fruit trees per base is all the food you will need in the game, and marble melons have a lot of water.
The only thing you miss out on really is the emergency air bladder, as that requires a fish. To make up for it I carry a second air tank when diving deep or exploring wrecks. I also build outdoor grow beds w brain corals in strategic places as emergency air supplies.
Honestly, I started it as a lark, and found it so enjoyable because I never get distracted chasing down and catching fish.
It’s one of those I downloaded, played 10 minutes of, and then got distracted by something else. I’ve done a good job avoiding spoilers, I’ll check it out next.
Just finished my first permadeath vegan play through (never caught a single fish, though I admit I ran over a few hundred).
I’m not any good at deck building games, but my girlfriend is pretty close to platinuming it on PS4 and I have to say, that game just gets weirder and weirder.
Mass effect LE, first time playing as a renegade and absolutely loving it.
Never played as a biotic before either so it really does feel new. Just started ME3 last night after one hell of a suicide mission.
Playing it now for the first time and just recently did that, and the main story priest mission, two of the more memorable missions I’ve done in a long time and has totally sold me on this game.
The mechanics are different, and may put people off, but once you settle into it I think the controls and various game mechanics are really good.
I have had a much better time w Skyrim mods than FO4 on the PS4 as far as stability goes.
I only have it on PS4, and yes there are lots of mods in the workshop. There are obviously limitations.
Every few months I try installing various mods to make what I want out of it, darker nights, flashlight mod, weapon and armour changes for a more hard core experience, etc, and end up with 15 or so mods installed.
Start a new hardcore mode, get just about past diamond city, and the game invariably starts crashing.
No idea which one or ones are causing the issue, and in the end I get annoyed and go play something else.
This is all fine and good till it’s a conflict between two specific mods. Damn you FO4 on PS4, why you gotta be like that?
Dont know about PC but it has invert on PS4 cause I always play w Y inverted.
If its on PC, I have to assume there is a setting in controller software to allow for it even if the game doesnt.
I’ve bought all the soulsborne games on release going back to Demons Souls, and I just sucked at them.
I am finally playing Bloodborne after giving up at the first boss many times over the years, playing co op with my girlfriend, who has beaten them all and platinumed quite a few.
While I got good enough to beat most of them, except Sekiro, I just couldn’t get the rhythm of Bloodborne, and always gave up, even though I know many people consider it the best in the series.
Going back to my tried and true method of “Just keep grinding and leveling up till you figure it out” finally worked, I beat the first main boss yesterday (with her as summons).
Really looking forward to this one as I’ve done a pretty good job of avoiding spoilers.
Both perfect dark and goldeneye had dual analog support on the N64, though only in single player. Was my first experience with dual analog and all my friends thought I was nuts holding two controllers. Then the Ps2 came out w dual stick and we never looked back.
Kerbal Space Program
If I had to pick one moment in all of gaming that felt like a real achievement, landing on the Mun for the first time was is something I’ll never forget.
Doom 1993
Sure there was Wolfenstein, but Doom just blew our doors off when it released. Countless hours late night in the computer lab playing deathmatch, my first introduction to creating mods and maps, so many great memories.
Subnautica
Not my usual style of game, but this one is special. First time I played I did an hour or so to understand the basics, then restarted on permadeath. It took a very long time, but I eventually beat the game in a single life. The entire time was spent in a constant state of zen like terror.
Some honorable mentions would be GTA Vice City where I was heavily involved with the modding community, the Mass Effect Trilogy as the most epic story on gaming, Far Cry 2, the Dark Souls series, Infinifactory, and Cities Skylines.
The first time I played it, I did about an hour to get my feet wet, ha ha, but then switched to hardcore mode. It took a long time, but I did finish the game in a single life. Subnautica without a real fear of death just isnt the same.
Playing through again as a vegan, and recording it to make a tips video. If you haven’t played it without catching a fish I highly recommend it. Only thing you miss out on is the air bladder, but not getting distracted all the time chasing fish really changes the way I explore the game.
Another fun challenge is never making a compass or becans, forces you to learn the map.
I still havent played Morrowind, though somewhere along the line I picked up a PC version. One of these days I’ll have a gaming machine.
Haven’t played it on VR, but man that sounds great. My girlfriend is deep into a hardcore play through now and it’s so much fun to watch.
Two games I have platinumed on PS4 that I still go back and play are Subnautica and Kerbal Space Program. Not sure if you mean 100% as in like scan and collect every item, or get all the trophies, cause I don’t think I’ve ever 100% a game in that way.
