I think of the i-frames in a rather straightforward fashion, at least in the Dark Souls games. As in rolling is a way to dodge, and to dodge properly, I need to know when to roll. I'm not sitting there with a tape measure, a stopwatch, and recording software that can break down a video frame by frame, trying to maximize the optimal time to hit the button to activate the roll. I just eventually learn when best to do it after a bit of practice.

Can I get a comment on PSplus - is it worth having? Who thinks they've got good value from it?
ONLY if you plan to play online a fair bit. If you're primarily a SP person and barely touch MP then don't even bother investing in 12 month subs. You can always sub for a month or three if you've got a few co-op games that you wanna run through or whatever.
PSN+ Instant Game Library is a shitty selling point, it's only a nice value added bonus if you're paying regularly to get past the play online toll fee scam. It's a lucky dip, shitty rental service where you can't pick what you get. The "Netflix/Spotify of gaming" it certainly isn't! (The likes of Xbox Game Pass and EA/Origin Access hold that honour ATM.) Meanwhile on PC we get genuine free games, eg just in the past month I've seen significant games like Watch Dogs 1 and Brutal Legend given away with no hidden catches.

They need to bring back Playstation Home. That was the shit. A truly original thing, and was great to jump into on a weekly basis just to see what new areas and stalls companies would setup within it.
The best ones:
* The Assassin's Creed 2 area - Complete with a live action movie (went for 20 minutes I think) which acted as a prequel to the main game. All the actors present in that, were what the characters in-game were modeled off. I don't recall them including this movie with the game when it was released which is kinda odd. Assassin's Creed 1 had an area the year prior which was great as well. Had you play around in the "present day" area.
* Resistance area - Had some nice mini games. It nailed the World War 2 weapons vs Alien tech angle that the first game was all about.
* The Red Bull spot - Had some great mini games. The flying ones were best.
* Star Wars - They put the cantina from Tatooine in there. Flute playing aliens and all. That was fantastic. This was the best area I got to experience.
* Resident Evil - I forget which game this one was for. Possibly RE5. Had a great little game where you got to run around and shoot zombies in this desert town. Was fun.
I just found the whole thing really excellent, and a great way for companies to get people pumped about their upcoming games. Plus they more often than not had unique mini games centered around the games in question that we'd never have got otherwise. Seems win win to me. And it's the unique things that set your console apart from others than brings people to your console.

At this point it may go without saying, but still: God of War. <3

Will add to the list. I'd go for it if I weren't drowning in games already.
Also FFXV is off the list because enough of us think it's a bit crap.

Now that we've reached the next console generation, the possibility does arise that this thread is no longer Important.

Shows how much I pay attention to the "important" threads - I can't remember ever even seeing this thread before. :D
