@PapaGlitch
Just wait to realise how boring Horizons open world is compared to Elden Rings. I'm in the last strokes of Horizons campaign and it's such a chore. Although I like the graphics (of course) and the gameplay.
Experience my 618m groin shot in Sniper Elite 3 right here, really just pure luck. https://youtu.be/ZJAKmv9qlNY I always enjoyed busting the "wolves" balls in this franchise. Oh and I would've also love to shoot Stalins, Maos, PolPots and whoever warmongers balls if I could (in a videogame that is...).
I'm stuck at Opheon at the moment, but I truly love this game. With every run I learn more about the enemies and underlying systems. In the beginning I thought the 6th biome was utter bs, but in the meantime I really like it (xcept for some bs enemies who take away over half your health with one attack, but hey). I never had this on my platinum list and didn't event expect to progress this far, but I'm sure I'll finish it someday and maybe some time later the plat will also pop. Just as it did with Resogun xD
Games looks great and is properly playable with the right settings (own a 120hz tv and had to manually switch that off, so I could run it in the proper HFR Quality mode with vsynch.. Thanks Digital Foundry ), but it's sooooo boring and yeah the story is lame too. Only thing I really liked was learning about japanese culture but tbh this was a real letdown. Well gonna mop the collectibles now for the plat and then forget about it. They should've made another Evil Within...
I bought and finished the boxed version yesterday. The game was pretty good. The only disturbing thing about the censorship was the permanently visible "skip" prompt during those scenes... And the endless bugs. Had to restart several checkpoints to make a prompt appear or to complete a failing animation and I experienced several freezes and crashes. But all in all it was a nice litte entertaining adventure which I didn't regret to play.
Today morning I finished and platinumed (through savescumming) Elden Ring with 200hrs of gameplay under my belt. Holy sh*t, what a great game and that epic boss fight, wow! Looking forward to my NG+ with a respecced build. Anyway I'll seriously need a break from Soulsborne games now (finished Dark Souls 1 and Bloodborne again in preparation for Elden Ring), so I'll switch to Ghostwire Tokyo for the weekend and upcoming days. Also have a started run for Horizon: Forbidden West, but I'm not in the mood to continue with that game.
The movie was stupid fun. Went seeing it without any expectations and it was an entertaining enough romp. Somehow Nolan Norths small cameo did it for me... At least they didn't forget where they were coming from and I think the casting for Chloe was spot on
Well I couldn't even log into the demo with my Square Enix account although the login data was 100% correct... So that was my first and last impression of this game..
I'd give it a 10/10 but fair enough, it has it's (mostly technical) issues and that should be accounted for I'm 22 hours in, lvl35 and stuck at the first Big Boss. I'm absolutely enthralled by the game and it's world design and atmosphere. I already exlored the world a little bit (and mostly into territories where I shouldn't belong atm) and it's fantastic which wonders I've already seen. Really looking forward to git gud enough to enter these strange realms in the east... and underground
I really like your approach not scoring it too soon, but well we all know that'll be great. Since I've really had bad luck with preordering games on amazon (which I still did with this one), I'll try to get one tomorrow at a local retailer, they usually put them on the shelves the evening before release day
Bloodrayne ReVamped 1+2 got a stealth PS5 release last friday, also a free PS4 to PS5 Upgrade. Couldn't find any details regarding improvements on PS5 though. Also looks and plays the same.
I dunno what they exactly meant with shimmer bug...but I had the issue of shifting brightness when moving the camera around which now seems to be fixed after restarting the game twice. Only happened in resolution mode this far.
Usually I'm not a big fan of the auto-pop in this case it sours the experience for me. I've exactly 1 trophy missing for the platinum which requires a whole partial playthrough, but I'll not do that again... So I'll go back to the ps4 version and finish it there some day.
Jus wanted to leave some kudos for the hilarious tagline xD... Thanks to your review I pre-ordered the game now, hope this PS4/PS5 upgrade thingy will work...
Received the voucher for the free ticket today for upgrading to the legacy of thieves collection, pretty cool, didn't expect it =) Looking forward to the movie, nothing special I suppose, but an entertainig romp at least I guess.
I'm also fairly surprised that there wasn't a cease & desist by now. Anyway, just started Bloodborne again after some years and the game's still fantastic, FROMs best... Why Sony? Why no 60fps patch (like From did for Sekiro and Dark Souls 3)?! Let me pay 10b bucks for the friggin Director's Cut, if you have to..
Basically none. But it depends, if it's not like Destiny (recycled uninspired content, boring seasons, boring grind without purpose) then I'll might change my opinion.
I don't know what this save game importer does it certainly left lots of my already unlocked trophies for both games locked. Well I wanted to replay both games anyway
The Evil Within 2 doesn't have a PS5 update or something per se, but with it's latest patch you're able to unlock the framerate and it runs on buttery smooth 60fps on PS5. It plays great this way. Just wanted to mention this
It'll work on other accounts on your primary PS4/5. But be aware that you also need to buy the DLC from that region and that on some cases DLC is account-bound. So with some Bethesda or Ubisoft games the DLC is not accessible from other accounts. Only experienced this with Wolfenstein:Youngblood and Division 2 this far.
@hoffa007 Donuts 'n Justice... 30 minutes platinum. Game is pretty decent too. Bought it for the retro style and was pleasently surprised when the trophies popped up en masse xD
Well, I was a trophy whore in the past but with a rise in position at work I have so much less time and energy that I don't care anymore that much... Nowadays I'm happy if a game isn't overly stretched out (looking at you Ubisoft games) and doesn't contain tons of collectibles (hate them, really). I'll try to achieve platinum anyway but only if it isn't too much of a hassle... BUT if I replay a game I usually do on another account, I still love the trophy souns too much xD
@SterlingEyes
Hey I feel you, Sekiro was idd the first game since Demon's Souls on PS3 which I couldn't complete and get the platinum trophy, I'm not gitting good at it I'm afraid... Stuck at the owl encounter, maybe give it retry with 60fps as well on PS5...
Elden Ring seems to be far more in line with Dark Souls, although it borrows some of Sekiros gameplay elements (stealth, jumping), but it's way more enjoyable
I love my PS5. The accomplishment to even get one was great xD But yeah, the thing is cool, love the loadtimes, the improved performance for older games and the exclusives. Just finished the great Deathloop which had a really good dualsense integration. I don't mind how the console looks or that it takes a huge chuck of space. The quietness alone was well worth the price of admission. But I think I'm growing older... I don't get hyped for games anymore but well I'm looking forward to Elden Ring, don't really mind the upcoming exclusives...
