aren't sony consoles traditionally hard to program for and ps4 is an anomaly in general from them?

I think the PS1 was the easiest of its generation, mainly because Sony worked hard on creating a good devkit and tools and support. And they basically nailed the zeitgeist of the coming generation by focusing on something that could really do 3D. (For the time.)

While Sega and Nintendo were restrictive. Sega wouldn't release libraries until their games released in all territories. Nintendo wouldn't let anyone, but eventually Factor 5, write their own microcode, after touting that as a great feature. Devkits were harder to come by, tools and support much worse.

Beyond3D and some other similar places have old threads with devs with horror stories of N64 stuff where Nintendo would basically do the equivalent of hiding in the office with the lights off when asked for help on getting simple things working. While Sony had a huge pile of libraries. Even if most devs I've seen said you only wanted to use those to get started and then write assembly for the PS1.

I've never had issues with analog support in Crazy Taxi steam.

Compare that to something like FFVII, where you know exactly what the game is all about within the first couple of hours.

Final Fantasy VII goes from a story about environmental terrorism into a story about knocking a dude out of coma by entering his psyche.

Changing the plan and how the game started is Final Fantasy 101. Pretty much every story-based FF, except 10, is like that. FF stories are stories with interesting, great concepts that aren't fully fleshed out and abandoned sometimes not even halfway for typical save the world stories. I have no idea what expectations you have or had for that series.

The theme of environmental terrorism literally never goes away for the entire game. Cosmo Canyon brings it up multiple times -- not to mention the fact that the Lifestream is literally the life force of the planet trying to heal itself. And then Holy lets Meteor destroy the source of its problem before preventing it from blowing up everything else.

FFXII is just shit salad from the start. Not to mention that everyone's voice acting was recorded inside a suit of armor.

LR most definitely has the best battle system FF has ever had. It's basically FFX-2 on crack.

When I said terrorism, I meant bomb reactors and acting as a terrorist/rebel faction. After you leave Midgar, all you really do the rest of the first disc is chase after Sephiroth.

PS4 is sony's white flag. they "finally got it right" by having nothing to do with its innards beyond pointing to its parts in a catalogue and asking AMD to do the rest.

Loved Amiga. The day my father came home with an amiga, and a few hundred pirated games, was truly sensational. Particular good memories from when me and my cousin discovered this bootleg porn game in the collection, it was really just tetris that would reveal more and more of a terrible quality porn image. But we had to do with what we could get.

It's sort of been an unspoken thing on Gaf. A few people have made threads about loud PS4 units. Only to be shouted down. But it seems like people can finally be honest. I currently have my friends PS4 to play through Bloodborne and I'm shocked at how loud this thing gets. The PS4 looks great as a design but for function, packing all that stuff into that small box means it kicks out hella heat.

There have been a lot of threads about DS4 problems.  But the usual suspects often do rush in with their "derp derp I have no problems you must be controllering wrong" trash.  Same for the PSN outage threads.

I replied to that thread... My total layman's opinion is that she has severe (as in 1 in a million outlier severe) OCD.  She's not suicidal but she's been overwhelmed by unwanted thoughts of suicide for most of her life.  Imagine a loud as fuck air horn blowing in your ear 20 times a day, at random intervals.  Forever.  Except instead of being a deafening horn, it's a graphic thought of you killing yourself.  That's just my take on it from having read the article and interview.  I could be totally wrong.

It's basically the Goldeneye [or Halo] of space-sims, in that it's a game that console gamers didn't realize ever existed so they think it's some incredible innovation. Like, for example, this game came out 5 years ago:

I agree. For a lot of people, all they've really got is the choice of whether or not to go out on their own terms. If you don't let her die peacefully with some dignity, she's just going to die of cancer or pneumonia or some shit in 60 years anyway. The freedom to choose should be our most treasured asset.

A formal process would also (hopefully) expose people to meaningful care as a last resort and actually reduce the number of preventable cases.

Extreme hotelling. 

I do a moderate amount of traveling for my job and frequent many a hotel. When I first enter a new room, I either leave all my bags in the foyer, or I place them on a hard surface. I then check all the lampshades and mattress corners for bedbugs/ bed bug excrement.

I refuse to touch the remote control, the sink/shower handle with my bare hands. I wrap everything in hand towels.

I almost immediately take off the bedspreads so I don't accidentally sit on them.

If I need to sit on the toilet, I cover the front area with a layer of TP to prevent anything from accidentally brushing up against it.

How do you hotel?

no man's sky looks boring because it misses out on all the boring stuff.
 
you can actually do far less in elite. you can't land on a planet and go swimming in the reeds with dildo monsters or anything, but what it understands is fidelity. everything you can do is wrapped up like an onion of increasingly particular and spergy detail, the galaxy map alone is like a proper piece of functioning software.

NMS just kind of glazes over the details "you can fight giant spaceships, study giant strange animals, you can go anywhere", but everything is done on such a shallow surface level that none of it has any value.

it's like the difference between shooting down a few bogeys in ace combat and adjusting the trim or whatever the fuck to get a kill in dad's rivet accurate grognard flight sim: 1942

That junior Icewear Vezzo ain't gonna last long, lmao.

This entire problem comes from people who think it's okay for a woman to hit a man, because men can easily restrain women most of the time. But no one actually tells these females to stop hitting males, that's the real problem in all of these situations. Like what do you expect when you punch some stranger in the face? Just because he's of the opposite gender he's supposed to walk away from it?

Fuck that.

Why not just go around punching random male strangers since people think that they are untouchable and there's no repercussions.

It's true, we can barely walk down the street without being battered by women and society just gives them a free pass. Next thing you know they'll be the stars of their own video games.
