@NEStalgia High pressure lol! The clerk in the grocery store today asking if I wanted paper or plastic bags was more high pressure than the gamestop guys last night. Theres 15+ Gamestops within 15 miles of me and I have probably been in most of them. Cant say I ever had a "bad" experience shopping there. Like I said shame you havent had the same luck.
Moving on, the sale this week is pretty good on the psn, Mostly VR stuff but anyone interested in Wipeout its onlt $6 for the collection which is a steal!
Finished up Unravel tonight. Might seem surprising given that I just completed the true ending in DQXI yesterday, but I've actually been playing Unravel in conjunction with DQ's post game in order to break up the grind. Anyhow it's a gorgeous & charming little puzzle platformer with a bit of a moving narrative. Got stumped a few times, but nothing I couldn't figure out after about 5 or so tries. By far the hardest part, at least for me, was a little uphill section in the final level (raged a bit at that part, but it was worth it in the end).
Just started up Senran Kagura: Estival Versus tonight as well. Seems like it's going to play more like a Warriors style game, which could be fun (could be pretty grindy too though). My god though, I knew what I was getting myself into, but it would be so embarrassing if my family sees me playing this, lol.

Ive had a base model Ps4 for a while now and have been thinking about upgrading to the Pro. To anyone here that has one, do you feel it is worth the upgrade?

@Neko77 to be honest, at this point unless you can find a ridiculously good deal or really care about 4k I would just go for the regular slim. Doesn't do 4k obviously but you still get HDR if that's important to you. The ps5 is seemingly going to be here soon enough according to most rumors, may as well wait for that and save yourself $100 in the meantime.
@Neko77 no really much. Some games will have the option to run at 60 fps vs 30 but it's not a huge difference. Games will load a little bit faster but actual gameplay will be virtually identical on both. I have both the pro and the slim side by side on identical tvs and you won't be missing a ton going with the slim. Like I said unless graphic fidelity is really super important to you and you demand the best, save some cash, get a slim, and use the savings towards the ps5
@NEStalgia Wow you’re right it’s quite the story. Well hope you’re enjoying KH3 now on whichever platform is best for you! Never played any KH game but I’ll give it a shot if the series ever makes an appearance on Switch. (I don’t own a PS4 nor Xbox One. I guess I could get it for the PS3 perhaps ... but at this point I’ll wait for a virtually inevitable port of one of the KH games to Switch.)
@redd214 And they went out on Divekick & MGS4. Bummer.
Glad I held out for Hitman Season one, though. Almost bought it a zillion times, but then I'm like, "It's been out for a while, maybe it'll hit PS+ soon?" And here we are. SoonTM
@Neko77 I'd offer that it can be worth the upgrade depending on how you play. Yes, load times are faster. There's that slight graphics or FPS difference. But the big thing if you sit near the screen or use a monitor instead of TV, is supersampling AA on 1080p screens (or 2k/4k on higher res screens.) Jaggies/shimmers bug the heck out of me, and Pro solves that, so I definitely prefer my pro mostly for that reason. But yeah, with PS5 around the corner, BC might matter. If it happens.
@RR529 You know,l back in December I actually bought SK: Estival based on you mentioning getting it, and your list of games generally matching games I like, despite swearing off SK long ago. YOU OWE ME MY MONEY BACK! 3 minutes in and it's already got a kiddie upskirt. sigh Delete.
@shadow-wolf I didn't spin up KH3 last night, though I downloaded it, but I started back into KH1 in tribute of release day....I played parts of some, none of others, and none in the HD remasters yet, so I want to go through the series in order. You know, on my non-KH3 PS4 Pro.....that temporarily isn't beeping....
They're definitely weird games. The story at this point is complete nonsense and doesn't even have any coherence to it. The gameplay is often experimental and questionable. Yet somehow it always comes together as really fun. Hard to not take joy in an action RPG that crosses Final Fantasy and every Disney film ever while keeping FF moodiness too. Donald Duck talking to Aerith. Not something you expect to see. As long as you never try to make no sense of story, characters, what's happening and why, it's a good time DDD on 3DS was.....weirder than normal though.
I doubt KH3 will show up on Switch, but the older games, I have no idea why "Story so Far' is still a Sony exclusive. Half of them were originally Nintendo handheld games to begin with!
@NEStalgia, yeah, it's definitely not for everyone, but I find it all so over the top as to be funny. Gameplay wise it's pretty decent, although rough around the edges (while you can lock on to enemies, it's only your camera & not your character that locks on to them, which can be annoying).
Definitely seems to be built on grinding away to unlock pics, costumes, and the like, which I probably won't be too bothered with, rather than pure length, so it shouldn't take me too long to do a single run through of the story.

Ended up getting a Pro, only had to pay $245 after the trade in of my older ps4. Not bad, and honestly games look great on it. Monster hunter looks fantastic on it, runs great too.

@NEStalgia I feel like this article is just for you, 3 of your favorite things all in one, Gamestop, the DS4, and Fallout 76. This deal was made for you lol
@redd214 Bwahahahahaha! My eyes are watering.... That's just sheer poetry. Suddenly the $25 middle finger seems like a bargain. At least they didn't pawn off Fallout 76 Tricentennial Edition copies as an apology. I take it back, I didn't need to explain the many levels of fail GameStop represents. This link does it all for me.
@Neko77 Awesome! You'll like the upgrade. It's easy to say "it's not a big upgrade", and it's certainly not what X1X is compared to X1S where it's almost a new platform, but when you have it in hand, the difference just feels good. The snappier UI alone is noticed by me. Then again I'm impatient to slight hesitations in UIs.
Has anyone else noticed an annoying high pitched whine/grey noise in KH Final Remix? It's driving me crazy! I started playing the whole series from the beginning, and the remasters are so good, except the audio. There's heavy compression to it, but it seems to manifest as a high pitched whine that makes it painful to listen to with headphones. I have to take the headphones off periodically, and at low volumes the whine seems louder than the audio itself. It's not always there, cutscenes seem to not have it, but the island music has it badly, and I notice it in Traverse town more sometimes than other times, but it's there. Not as piercing as the island but there. If I drop back to the home screen, it stops, so it's the game, not noise in the audio chain.
Let's Go Pikachu seems to do this too, but Smash does not. And nothing on X1 so far is doing it, but i haven't tried any of the older games recently.
