Re: Steelrising (PS5) - French Souls-Like Is Almost Great

Jtheripper

@KundaliniRising333 performance seems to be ok on ps5 from what i read, mostly on pc its pretty janky it seems.
I need smooth gameplay myself. 60 fps most times.
Some say it is too easy, especially as you go thru the game, no challenge especially on boss fights.
And there is just 1 difficulty really,,then you can set some parameters to make it even easier.

I can find souls games frustrating but i dont want a cakewalk either.

How's the story dlc?
It was on good sale on pstore with dlc included.

Re: Action Shooter MindsEye Continues to Have the Weirdest Gameplay Marketing on PS5

Jtheripper

Either they don't have the marketing budget, or they are hoping it will sell enough if the weaknesses aren't shown too much in advance.
Since it be easy to just show gameplay clips, ill bet on the 2nd mostly.
They have weak dialogue and acting, but add a couple of f words thinking it will look cool for the peasants.
We'll see, but if they had good things to show, they would have it seems, very easy to put out gameplay in social media.

Maybe it has gameplay features that are cool, dynamic? I haven't read much on it.

Re: Xbox Is Stepping Up Its Backwards Compatibility Efforts Again, to the Envy of PS5 Fans

Jtheripper

A shame that, i read that all previous gen games on xsx get a boost, with no update.

Games like project car2, run really with low res, bad contracts, horrible shadows, and 30 fps in replays on ps5, shame.
Idk how games like rdr2 run on xsx but if it can give a boost to fps, it be nice to have that on ps5.
Even more so for games like bloodborne that sorely need it.

Plus in xsx you can play old splinter cell games etc.

Re: GTA 6 Trailer 2 Attracts Over 45 Million Views in 12 Hours

Jtheripper

@get2sammyb yh i agree, i wish they would make missions much less hard-coded, and more dynamic, with real ai, not a pursuit where the other car slows or speeds up depending on you etc.
And doesn't end at a specific predetermined point.

The trailer shows slowness even if cinematic, like when driving, etc.
They have a year to optimize but idk, after how gta5 performed on ps4 version, i have doubts it will be 60fps at least.
But this is the standard now, need offer that performance option.
Otherwise ill wait for ps6.

Re: Team Up with Hondo in Star Wars Outlaws: A Pirate's Fortune DLC, Arriving Next Month

Jtheripper

Tried the demo on ps5, after wondering, hesitating on how much it's worth for me, with all the middling gameplay impressions etc.

And, at 1st i thought it looked and played very average.
But i played thru the 3h demo 2 times, on my 3rd now, and I'm having as much fun as in any game.
There's quite a bit to try in it, space combat, quests, explore, side challenges like hutt stronghold, speeder bike etc.

At max or near it difficulty, it's a good challenge, lot of fun, can mix actions or stealth as you like.
Speeder is fun, not as bad as comments often say.
Vibe is cool, well done dialogue, acting, just the facial animations in non major cutscenes is average.
Main character is endearing to me, humble, simple, fun, natural acting.
Even space combat is fun, challenging, and works well, nothing like all bad comments.

I hope they'll make a sequel like jedi survivor, expand, improve on things.
Didn't sell well though, so i doubt it.
2nd dlc looks fun, more than the 1st.

And details up close are nice, all characters, objects, environment, runs well enough on performance mode on base ps5.

Just one spot, in middle of mos Eisley, it stutters a bit.
You can replay demo too. Try out different ways, etc.

Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Character Swapping Explained, Loyal Players Won't 'Miss Out'

Jtheripper

Reminds me of shadow tactics game, and its big samurai, and small stealthy character.
Maybe they took some inspiration from it.

Im tempted to favor the stealth one, because we have so many melee combat focused games now and coming, after dark souls etc pushed it's popularity even more.

I like it too, but good to have different styles.
And the shinobi character seems cool with its moves, parkour etc.

Re: Hitman Studio Will Remove All Conor McGregor Content After Court Ruling

Jtheripper

If guilty, should 💯 go to jail for long, not just pay his way out, and actually , if couldnt pay, it would also eliminate many false claims too.

Anyhow, weird coincidence for me, i was pondering to buy woa h3, having h1 and h2 already,
And was trying the free starter pack of it, version ps4, and had tried the arcade mode available mission with him on that island castle map.

And i had just downloaded last eve the ps5 version to see how much improved the graphics could be on it, with the starting area with small concert there.

Seems i wont now, content taken off already.
Oh well.
They should use budget on new scenarios, maps etc instead of paying public personalities.

Shame you have to pay again for all h123 content when u already have all except new content in h3 and woa.

Re: PS Plus Black Friday Discounts Again Seem Completely Random

Jtheripper

I noticed same thing with hitman woa game, they ripping off old customers who paid for the 1st 2 games and dlcs, selling only the 3rd game as a full package, having to pay a hefty price just to add the content of h3 woa.

Even have to pay for the deluxe version to not lose maps, etc from previous games, at 133cad $, not cheap.
Even then, you still have to pay again for the sarajevo 6 dlc.

Re: Don't Believe Your Eyes in The Thing: Remastered PS5, PS4 Gameplay

Jtheripper

Looks good, just not a remake like system shock seems to be, which is in my wishlist and a must. Aren't they supposed to come out with system shock 2 remaster as well?
But still interested to a point.

Im also tempted by blade runner, albeit it seems really clunky, short, and not so replayable.
But its 5 bucks on sale.

Re: Stealth Issues Still the Focus of Star Wars Outlaws PS5 Patches

Jtheripper

@BookhouseBoy it seems sadly to be the case, i checked on reddit, and you can see they mostly dumbed down further the stealth, taking out alarm panels for npcs to use, less patrols, etc, very unfortunate, means no buy from me until really improved..

Also patch added screen tearing to ps5, messed up hdr, dumbed down the speeder chases, with less crashes, with obstacles and other speeders.

Shows what they are doing is just mindless quick 'fixes', illusion, and pleasing casuals.
Shame.
And the director said before how proud he is of years of work, and will never stop improving it...
