Re: Preview: Forspoken PS5 Feels Like a More Magical inFAMOUS

BrotherFilmriss

Played the demo on the 120hz with RT enabled, felt pretty smooth. I liked the gameplay and traversal. I have a knack for open world games where you see something cool in the backround which you can actually reach. As mentioned the heroine is the only thing constantly breaking my immersion, although I like the NIEResque banter with the bracelet. Maybe not a day1 for me but I'm certainly interested in getting it.

Re: Poll: Did You Buy The Callisto Protocol?

BrotherFilmriss

I pre-ordered some 5hrs before release... Enjoying this game so far, I do like the fighting system but it needs some time to get used to. A little too much crawling through vents and moving through narrow spaces for my taste.
I wonder about several of my usual reviewers rating this game as disappointment... Maybe expectations were too high?

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give A Plague Tale: Requiem?

BrotherFilmriss

I finished it on tuesday, it was enjoyable but I didn't like the ending and the storybeats to reach it. It didn't have the same emotional impact for me as the first part... I'll never forget that battlefield from the first game, but I have to admit "the island" was fantastic and I liked that you actually were able to reach buildings and places which you could see from afar like in Dark Souls. I really enjoyed the more open aspects in the stealth sections, these were way more fun then in the previous game. All in all a solid 8 for me.
Oh yes and Amicia's character development and especially her voice acting were fantastic. Charlotte definitely deserves an award for her performance.

Re: Poll: Did You Buy Gotham Knights?

BrotherFilmriss

This comes from the same studio as Arkham Origins, right? Afaik this has the best story of all the Arkham games or so I've heard (can't remember exactly soooo long ago xD) so I'll give this a shot when it'll be a little bit cheaper. It's priced at 75 € here atm and thats way too expensive.
Whatched the Digital Foundry comparison to Arkham Knight yesterday, what a disappointment :-/ Hope they'll get this fixed, although the publisher is not well known to support it's products well.

Re: A Plague Tale: Requiem (PS5) - Asobo Studio Levels Up in Fantastic Narrative Treat

BrotherFilmriss

I'm just playing it with the 120hz mode in 1440p. TV doesn't support VRR unfortunatly. Runs pretty decent but it seems there are certain instances where indeed the framerate drops under 30 fps. After Pt. 1 got it's fantastic PS5 patch this is for sure somehow disappointing.
Anyway I'm more the guy who enjoys a good narrative driven single player game so I'll kindly overlook the issues for now. Game's been pretty cool so far.

Re: God of War Ragnarok on PS5 Runs at Up to 120fps, Four Graphics Modes

BrotherFilmriss

Ah yes and I'll go with the 40fps option as well I think. Unfortunatly my TV is HDMI 2.0 so it's only 1080p / 40fps @ 120hz, but in my experience the additional graphical effects absolutely make up for it (Ratchet, Miles Morales and Horizon all looked fantastic).
Edit: It seems that suddenly my TV supports 1440p now (it wasn't available after the respective PS5 firmware update...huh!), so this'll work a bit better now xD

@AFCC
I adored Bella Ramsey in Game of Thrones, she was awesome as the little bear... But she doesn't look like her videogame counterpart at all.. we all know that Ellen Page would've been the perfect fit, but that's not gonna happen now.. so well yeah, let's see how this will work out. I'm pretty sure we'll get used to it.

Re: Sony Promises 1-Hour PS Plus Trial for Rollerdrome, Offers 35 Minutes

BrotherFilmriss

For whatever reason I pay just 10 bucks for premium and it seems to be ongoing.. (I had ps now monthly b4 w/o a plus subscription...) so I don't really care xD but yeah I was slightly irritated about the 35 minutes trial which I didn't use completely xD game is pretty cool, but I'll wait for a sale. And yeah Sony should get their sh*t together...

Re: No Free PS4 to PS5 Upgrade Path for Persona 5 Royal

BrotherFilmriss

I'm one of the few who doesn't understand the fuzz about this franchise, but JRPGs aren't my cup of tea anyways... I just think isn't this animated and drawn, do we need a PS5 version at all? Maybe for some better audio or enhanced controller rumble? If this is just a basic port then it's scummy indeed.

Re: Poll: Are You Playing Stray?

BrotherFilmriss

My cat escaped the heat and went to the bathroom, so I'll have a purring and heartbeating controller on my lap. It's really fascinating how realistic it feels xD Anyway the game is great this far, did you notice the fantastic soundtrack and 3d effects?

Re: Reaction: PS Plus’ Revamp Is Hours Away, But Sony Still Has a Game Pass Problem

BrotherFilmriss

Tbh only the Rick&Morty game, Plague Tale, Scorn, Diablo IV and of course Starfield (I think this was absolut alpha footage, it stuttered in the beginning and the constant cuts in the mids of gameplay really got on my nerves) stood out for me. I had the feeling the rest of it were comicy multiplayer games with horrible trailer music.. and Kojimas backstab was a bitter pill to swallow. The "exclusives" presented here I'll mostly play via cloud gaming on my PC I guess. I still see no reason why to buy an Xbox at all.
