BTW, today I disassembled and cleaned my PS4 controller. Inevitably, I broke some part of it that doesn't seem important, but the controller does seem to work better, or at least the drift has gone away a little. I'm still tempted to buy a second one as a backup, though they're kinda hard to find these days.

Outer Wilds played fine on my PS4. But, as I've mentioned in a few other threads, it didn't blow me away.
circa and I on the same wavelength re: TLOU2 and Witcher 3, the latter of which (ahem) also had painful load times that compounded my dislike for the game. I guess if you really wanted to you could knock down the difficulty so that you don't ever die.

I'm playing Witcher 3 again on NG+ on the hardest setting. Certainly makes things like the combat a lot more challenging than the first time round. It was the first game I played on PS4 so I feel a bit spoilt, seeing as it is considered a Best In Class RPG. It really is an epic game with a huge amount of attention to detail.
Coming back to it again now I've played a few other things though, I'd say there are a few things they could have improved:
- More interesting and varied combat. This is where Bloodborne wins out. In Witcher there's a ton of different spells and potions you can use to win fightsz but ultimately it's a bit like following a recipe and once you know that recipe all you really need to do is go in and melee a bit until you eventually win
- Less of the rote fetch quests. I remember this from the first time round. For all its depth and world building, the majority of Witcher is "Speak to a peasant, go kill the monster, come back and get your reward". The minimap tells you where everything is, so once you're leveled up enough, you can complete quests in a zombie-like trance without really absorbing too much.
- Horses and NPCs. I didn't think RDR2 was a better game, but these two factors are where it clearly topped Witcher. It's barely worth riding Roach the vast majority of the time because she's just so unreliable and doesn't really handle much like a horse. Also, you can't attack NPCs and they really don't mind if you walk into their homes and Rob them in broad daylight.
Other than that, it's the best game ever made

Sony bought Bungie yesterday for $3.6 billion. Bungie have some very talented people, but the only series of note that they own is Destiny. Hope Sony's money guys know what they're doing.

I think one of the main reasons Sony spent all that money was for the tech and expertise in running a global online service game, something they didn't have which would be v expensive to build out. e.g. how much money would an Uncharted themed Destinylike make?

From that end it does make sense; they already have the lock on critically acclaimed single-player cinematic adventure from their first-party studios, but multiplayer addiction is the real moneymaker these days.
