Re: First PS1 on PS5, PS4 Analysis Drops, And There Are Highs and Lows

BrotherFilmriss

I'm just guessing here but I suspect some legal issues regarding publishing rights and stuff as a reason for the PAL/NTSC situation plus maybe technical or practical issues to get a proper hold on the original versions/material. Don't forget that it might be easy for us to get a pirated copy somewhere off the internet while corporations would be forced to follow laws and internal policies...

Re: Returnal Celebrates a Year Since PS5 Release

BrotherFilmriss

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

Re: Ghostwire: Tokyo (PS5) - Not the Bethesda Swansong We Hoped For

BrotherFilmriss

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...

Re: Martha Is Dead (PS5) - Censorship Is the Biggest Story in This Uneven Horror

BrotherFilmriss

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.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 419

BrotherFilmriss

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.

Re: Elden Ring (PS5) - By Far FromSoftware's Best Ever Game

BrotherFilmriss

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

Re: Elden Ring (PS5) - Likely Another FromSoftware Great

BrotherFilmriss

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

Re: Soapbox: I Think I'm Over Trophies

BrotherFilmriss

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

Re: Feature: PS5 Report Card - How Is It After One Year?

BrotherFilmriss

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...
