Re: Poll: Do You Care About 60fps on PS5?

Lavalera

It's not a deal breaker for me no. I'm playing A Plague Tale and Gotham Knights and in A plague tale I don't even notice it running at 30. What's more annoying for me personally and what does give me a headache is when a framerate goes up and down. I prefer a fixed framerate over something that keeps going up and down

On my ps5 it's Gotham Knights. I'm enjoying it thus far. Sure it isn't game of the year material but also isn't as bad as some people make it out to be. It's an enjoyable game. Also playing a bit of Atelier ryza here and there if I want something a bit more relaxing

On my Xbox it's a plague tale requiem. What a game... It's sometime hard to imagine this is just a Aa game. It looks absolutely stunning, the sound is very good and the gameplay is divers enough to make it very good. The 30 fps isn't noticeable at all in this game not even on action scenes. If the rest of the game is as good as this first part it might end up being my game of the year
@Kairu thanks for that shout out on the Ghostbusters game. Missed it while browsing the sale, Ill pick it up for the backlog hehe

Re: Gotham Knights (PS5) - It's Actually Pretty Good

Lavalera

Reviews seem to be all over the place like i expected especially with all the mixed previews. Was pretty clear this game wouldn't satisfy everyone. I'm still getting it, from what i've seen and read it's exactly the game i would love and that's all that matters.

Atelier Ryza on my ps5. Pretty relaxing game. The alchemy system is also pretty easy to get into. Combat is active time battle basically which always gives you enough time to react and plan without things taking to long. It's my first ever Atelier game and will certainly be playing more after this.

On my Xbox it's Ni No Kuni. Very beautiful art style just a bit on the grindy side. Might put it on the side if Plague tale requiem releases on Tuesday.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 447

On my ps5 it's mostly Saints row 4. Some open world over the top action. Was in the mood for it and it's enjoyable. Besides that it's Atelier Ryza as a more relax game. My first Atelier game. Until now I'm enjoying myself not that difficult to get into the alchemy and everything is well explained.

On my Xbox it's Ni no kuni. Very beautiful game but a bit on the grindy site will see if I will finish it or not.

On my ps5 I'm playing Atelier Ryza: Ever darkness and the Secret Hideout. My first ever Atelier game and I'm liking it. Very relaxing, wander around gathering stuff, fighting a monster here and there and brewing up stuff with alchemy that's needed for that. To also have something more action packed I decided to start up Saints row 4. Some over the top mindless action.
On my Xbox im continuing with Ni No Kuni Wrath of the White Witch remastered. The game itself is a pretty standard monster collecting jrpg but the art style is so amazing. Made partially by studio ghibly.

Hope to have alle these finished for the packed 2nd half of October Gotham knights, Plague tale requiem, Star ocean 6 and p5r all are on my list and those all are in like a week of each other. And I got invited to the D4 beta as well so goign to be busy times

Re: Upcoming PS5, PS4 Games for October and November 2022

Lavalera

Some very good months. Having my eyes on Gotham knights, star ocean the divine force and God of war ragnarok to buy. Plague tale and p5r I'll play on gamepass. And I also got invited to the D4 beta which I guess also will be soon gonna be some busy months

@Gloamin I haven't played the other Alice game yet though but I think it's included in the version of Alice that's on gamepass. So I'll try that one after I finished Alice.

And yeah Nino Kuni has such a wonderful charm about it, like the studio ghibly art style. And it looks very relaxing in a lot of ways. I'm pretty sure I'll enjoy it.

Also enjoy Shadow of War, such a brilliant game, especially the nemesis system is so well done, wished more games had a system like that

On my ps5 I'm playing Spiderman Miles Morales through ps plus extra. Love the open world web swinging. And it's different enough from regular Spiderman to feel like a different game. I might also try the valkyrie elysium demo out.

On my Xbox im playing Alice madness returns creepy 3d platformer which I'm enjoying and normally I'm not the biggest platforming fan, the creepy atmosphere helps a lot. I also made a start on Ni No Kuni which I hadn't played yet. Looks very cool so hope I'll like it.

Re: Like a Dragon: Ishin! Won't Have an English Dub

Lavalera

I couldn't imagine playing this game with dubs anyways. Even though I tried the English dub in like a dragon a bit to see how it was, I still play it with subs anyways. It does help not a native English speaker anyways so am used to subs.

Re: Master the Four Battle Styles in This Like a Dragon: Ishin! PS5 Gameplay Trailer

Lavalera

Like i wasn't hyped enough already, this trailer makes it look even more amazing. The great thing is they didnt just simply remade the original, they added characters and more stuff from the games that released after the original Ishin. This looks like it;s going to be endless entertainment again like all the other games in the series, just can't wait for this.

Re: SEGA Is Dropping the 'Yakuza' Name from Now On

Lavalera

That explains why they were using "like a dragon" during the stream. I already knew about the Japanese name of the series and the studio name, but it wasn't clear the name change for the western games was a thing as well. It is going to confuse a lot of people. WIth the name change itself i'm fine, its still the same game series no matter what you call it. I wonder if they going to change it for the older games as well or if they keep it like it is now and try to make it clear for consumers it's the same series but with a different name.

On my ps5 I'm doing the new game plus on trials of mana, very nice jrpg. Working towards the platinum now. Have to do 3 playthroughs total for that but since the game isn't that long and you can skip cutscenes it isn't that bad.

On my Xbox im playing Alice madness returns. Normally not into platformers but the spooky atmosphere of this one is kinda brilliant. So that gives it a whole new dimension

Re: PlayStation Bites Back At 'Inadequate' Call of Duty Offer from Microsoft

Lavalera

@IonMagi apples and oranges. Bethesda acquisition was always for the exclusivity as it was always communicated, besides those games don't even sell anywhere near the amounts of cod. Abk is to also get entrances into the mobile and pc market where they are still weak. Cod is by far the best selling game every year even if they make that exclusive they will never get enough players over to Xbox to get the same amounts of moneyas keeping it on Ps. @Shstrick the answer on your question as well.
@tallythwack nobody knows how the business landscape will look like in 10 years. Will there even be consoles? How does the gaming market look by then? Short term contracts are more logical from a business sense since landscapes can change

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 442

On my ps5 I'm still working on Trials of mana doing the post game content. Enjoying it very much. At first I was doubting if it was something I would like but since it's on plus extra now I decided to give it a try and glad I did. I'll get the other mana games as well when they are in a sale.

On my Xbox im playing Brutal Legend. Was in for a bit of Tim Schafer greatness. Played it a bit on steam years back but never finished it. It's a funny action adventure game mixed with rts elements. And Jack Black is doing the main protagonist. And it has rock/metal music as well.

Doing a bit of season 27 of Diablo 3 with my wife as well on the pc, one of the few times I actually turn my potato pc on anymore lol

Re: NISA Showcase 2022 Promises Game Announcements and Updates Next Week

Lavalera

@MasterVGuides @Korgon Ah thanks. I didn't know the Sky trilogy was another publisher. Well then i have to either play them on pc or watch some recap video. I own CS 1 -4 already but want to wait playing them after zero and azure release. I already saw there are 2 ways to play them and i think i will start with cs 1/2 before startingn the others.

Re: NISA Showcase 2022 Promises Game Announcements and Updates Next Week

Lavalera

@Korgon I really hope they will port the Sky games to modern systems as well like they are doing with Zero and Azure. The series looks very interesting, but don't really want to play games on my potato pc anymore and prefer to game on my ps5/xbox nowadays. So if besides those 2 we will also get the sky games this will open up the series for other people as well who dont really game on pc.

@freddquadros i just did another hour today and then I felt I had to play something more relaxing again haha, maybe I'll try again later today. Normally I'm not patient enough for these kind of fights since I easily get frustrated but this boss just has to die I can't give up lol.

@Darude84 Good to hear. If the rest of the regular 13 is good I'll definitely will play both sequels as well. Glad to hear I'm not the only one enjoying that game

On my ps5 I'm going to bang my head against the Valkyrie queen again for the God of War plat. And to calm down I'm playing Trials of mana on Ps plus. Very relaxing old school style jrpg. Was exactly the relaxing experience I was looking for.

On my Xbox im playing final fantasy 13, which isn't as bad as people make it out to be. I'm enjoying it. Next to it I'm playing an hour a day of Elden ring to get a bit used to it. Basically doing a trial run atm.

Have a nice weekend all!
