@nessisonett It’s insane how fast the PS5 version of FF7R loads. It was one of the first games I played on my PS5 and I thought all games were going to load that fast, and unfortunately it’s not the case. It’s so quick.
I was one who liked the gameplay too, but was more lukewarm on the story.

@nessisonett As I say every time, I quite enjoyed the combat on FF7R on normal difficulty but in hard mode it shines. MP is extremely limited so it makes you have to use special abilities and other materia more cleverly. Plus, it really makes you use the whole party and not just Cloud with the others occasionally.
@Thrillho Tifa’s pretty powerful but I have found Cloud to just be the most useful to control so far. Barret seems to mainly be a magic user like he usually was for me in the original.
@nessisonett You have to learn to utilise every character for hard mode and also find clever materia combos as well. Using magic on characters like Barret becomes almost impossible so Aerith becomes especially crucial with her abilities to regain MP and also double magic usage.
Still playing DeS. Working on my build before diving into the game properly. Got Vit & Mag up to 50, End up to 25, now just need to level Int up to 18 before I can start acquiring the items for my Curse Weapon build. Got the DBS already, now just need the spell and a couple of health-drain mitigating items, after leveling Int up to 18 of course.

@Th3solution@colonelkilgore@Jimmer-jammer Planning to start Lotf as a side-piece once on Friday to mitigate the wearing nature of soul farming on a mass scale, before going back to DeS properly once the farm is over. I'll be sure to let you know my impressions of Lotf if you want, once I've started it.

@Jimmer-jammer It would be cool with a few more thoughts on Alan Wake now that you have beaten the game. Iam personallay quite interested in Spider-Man 2 but it feels unfortunately a little bit to expensive for me right now (so Iam focusing on ohter games in my backlog).
@Jimmer-jammer That sounds great man, I hope your son is enjoying Spider Man 2 as well. I have 5 more levels of leveling up to go before I'm more or less done with my build in DeS, and Lotf has just finished downloading so I'll keep you posted on the first hours of that once I start it today or tomorrow.
Will you play Alan Wake 2? ,I hear it's said to be much better than the first game. And with an easy difficulty setting option, where, according to the description - combat will pose no challenge, even I should be able to play it, as I really suck at shooter games! 🤣

I played through Lies of P, and loved it, but was a little concerned about buying LotF - reviews didn't seem to land to well, and player consensus seems to be a massive pendulum of people who adored it and others who hated it!
@Jimmer-jammer@CJD87 I'm definitely, based on my impressions of the first area, loving it so far, I like the dual world mechanic a lot and the "other" world is certainly full of spectacular sights to behold. The game plays a lot like DkS I

@Jimmer-jammer Well if he is mature for his age then it's less likely it will be a problem than otherwise. I'm sure you're a good parent anyway, yeah, got to get my hands on that Alan Wake II myself at some point too - it's in the backlog!

As I was saying before LotF plays like a leaner, more muscular version of DkS 1, truly one of the best gaming experiences I've had in years. Have to go back to that in a bit. But back to DeS now and farming again, 4 levels of Int to go now.

@Th3solution, thought I'd tag you with regard to the post above as I think I said I'd let you know how I was getting on with Lotf, highly recommend for any fan of Souls or Soulslike games.

@TheBrandedSwordsman That sounds great. I’m pleased to hear it’s such a solid first impression. Hopefully it holds up in the long run. I’m flush with games in my backlog so I don’t really need another one to add to the pile, but if you continue to like LotF then I’ll need to consider adding it for play later. I really liked the first Dark Souls.
