Got a PS4 pro last week. Started playing this Monday. Bad first experience that will stick with for a while, dunno if it was the console or the disc, but my Japanese release of Kandagawa Jet Girls won't start the story mode. Always get an error and kicked out of the game, so gave up on it in the end.
Currently playing Senran Kagura Peach Beach Splash (got the Japanese Sunshine box release), so far no problems. And the game is fantastic. Done a bunch of story missions dor all the teams.
I need a little help on the tech side: I'm playing The Last Of Us again right now and I've tried different audio settings (I've no sorround...) but I still have the same problem: as soon as an NPC turns the corner, it sounds like the voice comes from underwater and I can't understand what it says... Any suggestion?
@Skoda Not a lot unless you’re trophy hunting I suppose. I’m thinking of a replay before the second game to go through the story but I haven’t played it since the PS3 days.
Only now, at my third playthrough of TLOU I noticed an error with localization: the verb "to play" in english refers to many kind of actions while in italian there are many different verbs: one referring to play a game, another when referring to play a music instrument, another when you play a part ecc.
Ellie, watching a chessboard, use the verb "suonare" which is the italian for "to play a music instrument". That could happen only when translators and dubbers work without watching the scene. Hope this won't happen in the sequel.
@andreoni79 I find stuff like that fascinating. Translators should really be given context for that exact reason but they must be so careful when it comes to spoilers getting out, especially when it comes to games like TLOU!
@RogerRoger As much as I hate subtitles, if the sound is continually that bad there are times I would rather not put headphones on, I usually give in and put the subtitles on.
Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
I play every game with subtitles and honestly don’t know any different. Skyrim had them on by default when I first played it and my mind just doesn’t work that way while playing games, I don’t take in audio well. That’s probably why minor errors stand out to me.

@Arugula Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order. I'm always baffled when people can't remember what game they are currently playing. If you are an OAP then you have a pass. Everyone else, sort it out! 😂

@nessisonett@RogerRoger@JohnnyShoulder@andreoni79 I prefer not playing with subtitles because it can distract from seeing the characters and on screen action if your eyes are focused on the bottom of the screen. I have also found times when the audio dialog delivered by the voice actor or actress is slightly different from the subtitle. I can only assume it occurs when the actor is going off script and improvs a line and the transcribers don’t pick up on it. It can be off-putting and pull you out of the scene if it happens. I have occasionally enabled subtitles if the accents are hard to understand or if I don’t have my headphones on.
But yes, headphones ftw! I hardly ever play without them. It’s much more immersive to me and audio quality is significantly better.
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
@Th3solution I have quite a beefy soundbar and subwoofer, yes headphones are more immersive (in some games) but I find the sound quality better win my setup. I only usually use my headphones when I'm gaming in the morning so as not to disturb my neighbours, plus I don't like the feeling of having them clamped on my head all the time. There are not that many games that fully utilise stuff like 3D Audio and then you need the headphones that support the tech too.

I'm currently playing through The Last of Us again. Just reached the Fall chapter. I played it on easy when it came out I think. It's a bit harder than I remember. I expected to breeze through it, but I keep running out of bullets. I'm pretty much always stocked up on resources and items, so maybe I should use those more often.
Don't know if anyone remembers the hotel in Pittsburgh, the one with the elevator drop and the generator in the cellar. That part got my heart racing, it's just as scary as I remember it to be. Managed to avoid all the clickers and the bloater that spawns after you turn on the generator, but it was still very intense lol.
@jdv95 Yeah, there are a few of those encounters, but the hotel basement tops it all.
I haven't playing this game in 5 years or so, and whilst I can't remember what I ate last week, I somehow have a perfect memory of the location of resources.
I think the dogs alone will change it up quite a lot. No more hiding.
@Octane I've just turned off the PS4 and I was playing that very section! I'm doing a NG+ on Hard (beat it on Hard in my first run in 2015).
I did a second run on Easy just for the collectibles two years ago, but the lack of challenge ruined the experience since feeling like a tank full of weapons and ammo doesn't match with survival horror, IMO.
@jdv95 Small ones I hope; not the Days Gone hordes.
@andreoni79 Neat! I was tempted to do a NG+, but decided to start a regular playthrough. It makes up for the fact that I'm playing on normal, but I'm definitely tempted to fully upgrade all the weapons. Some day..!
