The Demons Soul remake for PS5 was my first From experience and to be honest I was ready to quit and never play DS or any other From game again, but the amazing job Blue Point did with the remake made me want to continue and as I got more used to the style of the game the more I "enjoyed" it
I do think From games are overly punishing and I don't really buy their point that "making it easier would break the game". I think there's a difference between making a game easier or fairer.
Some of the boss battles in From games are just unfair. The enemies have too much advantage in my opinion.
But I do think From games are pretty amazing, I finished ER and enjoyed that - apart from a couple of boss battles.
I'm now well into the DLC and again really enjoying the exploration and world building. I just wish the boss battles were fairer - I actually think the games would be way more enjoyable if they were.
I think it would be a harder sell for this gen, what can it offer that we can't do with the current PS5? If games like Jedi Survivor still struggle on a top end PC then a PS5Pro won't help with that.
For me a PS5 slim still seems more sensible than a Pro at this point.
The visuals and also the audio are both outstanding, some parts of the game still feel very clunky, especially a couple of the "boss" fights. Overall I'm enjoying it a lot though
Still seems like a weird choice for a game. Gollum? why? Has anyone ever wanted to play a game as Gollum? What's next, Grima Wormtongue: The video game?
I was so relieved to finish it in the end. Malenia made me want to rage quit so many times and the Elden Beast was also pretty damn annoying. I kind of wish they’d made them a bit easier or at least give the player more options to beat them. I’m not sure I like Froms idea of making bosses so ridiculously over powered.
I understand they want to make it a challenge but when you need 100’s of tries and respeccing your character multiple times to be able to compete it feels more of a chore and just not very enjoyable
Having said all that it’s still a great game and probably a 9.5/10

Looks like a fun Golden Axe throw back, shame its connected to LRG though

@ChromaticDracula they are aware but they just don't care. So long as they get their selfie or TikTok video then why would they care?

Re: Talking Point: How Do You Feel About the PS5 Pro?
They really need to show us a reason why we should upgrade, a few more FPS isn't going to achieve that tbh.
Re: The Latest PS5 Firmware Update Is Available to Download Now
Over 1Gb and that's all the info they have for us?
Re: GTA 6 Trailer Out Now, 2025 Release Window Revealed

Re: Fairgame$ May Be Sony's Most Tone Deaf PS5, PC Title to Date
Chances are it won't be around long. Too many similar titles competing for a slice of the pie.

Re: The Lord of the Rings: Gollum (PS5) - There's Nothing Precious About This
So you don't recommend messing with Gollum's ring?
Re: Reaction: Sony Flubs First Proper PS5 Presentation in Over 18 Months
What a missed opportunity to get PS5 owners, and potential owners, excited about the upcoming games from PlayStation.
So many missing "expected" titles and no word from most of the PS first party studios.
No idea why anyone at PlayStation thought this was a Showcase level event??
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Star Wars Jedi: Survivor?
I want to give it an 8 or 9 but the performance issues can't be ignored. So far I've had 2 crashes and the slow down has been awful. Very frustrating.
Re: PS5 Pro Is '100%' Happening, Says Reliable Report
I think it would be a harder sell for this gen, what can it offer that we can't do with the current PS5? If games like Jedi Survivor still struggle on a top end PC then a PS5Pro won't help with that.
For me a PS5 slim still seems more sensible than a Pro at this point.
Re: Star Wars Jedi: Survivor PS5 Patch Out Now, Promises Improved Performance and Crash Fixes
I had another crash last night even with the new patch, pretty frustrating to be honest
Re: Star Wars Jedi: Survivor PS5 Patch Promises Improved Performance and Crash Fixes
Is everyone playing in Quality mode? 🤔 I’m using Performance mode and the frame rate is all over the place - not very impressive tbh
Re: Star Wars Jedi: Survivor (PS5) - Fantastic Sequel Is Bigger and Better in Every Way
Having played all weekend I think the "minor framerate issues" quote is misleading tbh.
The framerate dips are pretty horrendous in my opinion. Very disappointing to see this kind of performance for a game of this size.
I really hope patches can fix it but I have a feeling its not going to get sorted properly soon.
Re: Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree Development Is Further Along Than You Might Think
I hope this year but Q1 next year seems more likely

Re: Atlas Fallen Gameplay Trailer Reveals Flashy, Hard-Hitting Combat
Looks gorgeous, voice acting sounds poor to be honest.
Re: Rumour: PS5 Pro Targeting Potential 2024 Release
I don't see it happening within the next 2-3 years. What's the benefit of a PS5 Pro at this point?
I can see a PS5 slim for sure though. That makes a lot more sense for PlayStation.

Re: PS5, PS4's The Lord of the Rings: Gollum Will Finally Launch by September 2023
Still seems like a weird choice for a game.
Gollum? why?
Has anyone ever wanted to play a game as Gollum?
What's next, Grima Wormtongue: The video game?
Re: Video: What's in the Dualsense Edge Pro Controller Box?
Still over priced - should be 140-150 max
Re: House of the Dead Remake Treated to PS5 Version This Week
Yeah without a decent light gun it’s a no for me
Re: Poll: Have You Completed Elden Ring?
I was so relieved to finish it in the end. Malenia made me want to rage quit so many times and the Elden Beast was also pretty damn annoying. I kind of wish they’d made them a bit easier or at least give the player more options to beat them. I’m not sure I like Froms idea of making bosses so ridiculously over powered.
I understand they want to make it a challenge but when you need 100’s of tries and respeccing your character multiple times to be able to compete it feels more of a chore and just not very enjoyable

Re: A New Deus Ex Game Is Reportedly Very Early in Development
@NEStalgia they could remake all of them with engine updates and I’d be in 🤣
Re: A New Deus Ex Game Is Reportedly Very Early in Development
