Sadly, that's kind of a deal breaker for me, at least until a potential PS5 Pro upgrade patch is released. 30fps is still the reason I never got around to playing the original or Dark Arisen, just can't do it anymore.
@Amusei @Tecinthebrain @Yaycandy Plot twist: I'm from Australia. Some of our most beloved national heroes were convicted criminals; my ancestors certainly were
@zhoont Yeah I'm pretty intrigued to see what they can do. Vampyr was definitely rough around the edges, but it had some really interesting mechanics and concepts, hoping for more of that!
@dark_knightmare2 Call me old-fashioned, but I'd probably still give GOAT status to Baldur's Gate 2 haha. But both Pathfinder games were great, you're right, and I can't wait for this either
@Brydontk Definetly not just you, still the biggest issue the genre is facing on console. I think its sloooowly getting better, but still a long way to go haha
@Theaussiegamer92 It is technically isometric, but you can zoom right down to essentially third-person while exploring. Combat is definitely top-down, however, haha
@KaijuKaiser, I can't believe it even got made! Different strokes, of course, it's like catnip to me, but yeah, not in a 1000 years would I have predicted this.
@Ravix, we'll cover a lot of world and system stuff in guide content, gameplay will get a LOT of focus from me in our PS5 review. And I'll stop writing them when you all stop showing up to read them!
@all3forever @PsBoxSwitchOwner Push Square is larger than that, an ideal, incapable of obsession. I'm the one enjoying the game in general, and the spicy parts in particular
@Gamer83, I think the honest answer is that cutscenes and exploration look more appealing, which is why you haven't seen much focus on gameplay in trailers. Combat is turn-based and played at a much slower pace than The Witcher or Cyberpunk, it just doesn't 'look' that good to mainstream audiences, you know? Loving the gameplay and combat myself, will do my best to put into words why when it comes to PS5
@4kgk2 my attempt on Twitter, "A parallel event was allegedly held nearby in an effort to offload surplus Stadia stock. Attendees reportedly refused interview requests and declined to comment."
@mcdreamer ohhhh I've got it downloading on the Deck now, what kind of framerate do you get? Was shocked to find that DOS2 runs very nearly at 60 with max settings! (obviously not expecting that here haha)
@ATaco, it looks to be more of a straight visual novel to me, have updated it to include features. They seem to be going more the choices matter, branching narrative paths route
@rjejr You aren't wrong! I've updated the article to avoid confusion. Sorry, and thanks for the assist; always preferred words to numbers for precisely this reason
@Powerplay94 It probably took me three years and numerous escapes from Fort Joy to make it past Act 2 in DOS2 haha. Glad I did, though; it gets wild at the end! My proudest Platinum as well, if anyone's impressed ( •_•)>⌐■-■
@nessisonett I managed to boot it up this morning, look at Origin characters and lock in settings. So much to do before I can actually dive in guilt-free! (づ ◕‿◕ )づ
@Northern_munkey @JigsawPieces My apologies, gents, and you are absolutely correct! My upside-down Australian brain had a meltdown converting an American date. Updated (っ◞‸◟ c)
@Godot25 my best guess is exactly four-ish regular DualSense controllers to make up one Edge, regardless of conversion rates or the currency with which they’re bought

@Elodin I can't decide! I did a Lohse Fane duo my first time through D:OS2, and would highly recommend (both mages, of course).
I'm leaning towards Astarion, La'Zael, or Wyll for BG3, running out of time as well haha.
