Absolutely spot on when it comes to the main character. He was the main issue
Anyone else gonna get Dragons Dogma 2? I feel like DD1 was one of the most underrated games on the ps4 I absolutely loved it. It looks like they have just doubled down with all the best best parts of the first game.
It looks great. Going to wait though as rebirth is going to take up all my time...normal mode is already huge and then I'll have to tackle hard mode!
I'm definitely going to play it at some point, was a huge fan of Dragon's Dogma, despite playing it 10 years late. I hope it won't take me 10 years this time, but with the state of my backlog...
It looks great. More of the same, but I doubt anyone who loved the first game will be disappointed by that. Performance is another matter though, it looks pretty rough, so let's hope they plan to improve it. I'm curious to see what the reviews will have to say about that.
I need to look into it a bit more, but I find myself waiting for games to go on sale, goto the catalogue, or be the free monthly game more and more often these days. Rarely feel the need to get stuff on or near release anymore.
Yeh I am planning to pick it up around launch but will watch a couple of reviews before I do just to make sure the performance on the PS5 is okay. I’m hopeful that some of the reported issues are down to early preview builds.
I largely agree and I haven’t bought a full priced game in ages, but I think for me DD scratches an itch for an open world RPG in that genre when there hasn’t been a new one in quite awhile. If you haven’t played the first game, the combat is some of the most fun out there. The amount of unbelievable and unique moments I had scaling the monsters puts it high on my list. What I like the sound of this time around is the possibility of more emergent gameplay in the open world. Greater variety of side content and random chance events. The first game was great but it did feel like all the enemies were just statically places in the world so I’m hoping they have improved a little on that front.
Rise of the Ronin is getting mixed previews. Can’t say I’m surp - it never looked very impressive in the trailers either.
Rise of the Robots > Rise of the Ronin
Did you not spell surprised fully by mistake or did you actually do that to save time on purp?
Didn’t even realI’ve had it for a week or so. It’s great. Warning internet needs to be good. I had to work on making my internet great to perfect my portal experience, that was mainly by hardwiring my PS5. Also created a 5ghz setting on my internet for my portal to connect to.
Playing FC24 now (offline) and it’s working like a dream.
Leaked specifications for Sony's unannounced PlayStation 5 Pro console have been posted online, and show the upgrades present in the souped-up console expected to launch later this year.
from the specs it looks like the Pro will be targeting higher resolutions rather than improved frame rates, which is a bit disappointing.
As you'd expect, the specs show a boost to the PS5 Pro's system memory and GPU. The machine's CPU remains identical to the base PS5, but now boasts a 'High CPU Frequency Mode' which is said to add a 10 percent speed increase, albeit with a slight one percent reduction to GPU performance.
The Pro will be a bit cheaper than the entry price for the original, right? Isn’t that the standard? When it arrives, is that a good time to buy a Pro then, or rather a legacy model at a lower price?
I'd expect it to be a bit more expensive. I think the PS4 Pro, at launch, was $100 more than the base PS4 was at it's launch.
Also it's 2024 in gaming. Nothing gets cheaper.
My PS5 is the console I've used the least of all the consoles I've ever owned, so not interested in Pro at all. I do think it makes sense for them to release these mid-generation updates, something Nintendo should have done with Switch (which is actually the console I've used the most of all the consoles I've ever owned, maybe PS3 being close) but did not. Advancements in technology over 4 years are not enough to warrant a completely new generation but sufficient to justify an upgrade.
I stopped using PS5 after doing the initial game that was GoWR but I think the catalog now is really solid, with the PS5 versions of previous also being good value. It took a while for the catalog to get going but I have a great backlog now.
I might think of trading it for the pro next year once mine is around two years old and if there's significant upgrade in experience. For now I'm using it enough to justify maximising the performance if the upgrade is significant.
They should have an enticing trade scheme for those who own the base version.
PS Plus library has got so good that I sometimes want to boot the console up to play, but it's basically pointless if you don't have 2-3 hours spare, and I am usually only able to play in short 15-20 minute bursts. Switch/3DS are perfect for that, modern day big consoles are not, you really need a lot of time.
Yeah I totally understand that and was similar for me a while back. In that situation you probably don't need to worry about the next update on the console.
That’s true. For me the PS5 has been fantastic, especially due to the controller - big fan of that piece of hardware, it really elevates the immersion.
Is there Anyone else that can't play any games online?
I'm online, I can connect to the actual game servers but when I try start a match (fifa + mw3) I get an error.
My ps+ just renewed recently for a year so it's not that and I've tried the old turn WiFi on/off.

Playstation network was experiencing issues.
yep it was sorted not long after I posted……typical.
Was hoping there might be some news on a big Easter sale coming up but have heard nothing so far.
This is going to be a lean year for new games for me so I've got my eye on a few games that i'd like to see reductions on.

Yeh no new games for me with new releases. May get cyberpunk, ghosts of Tsushima, GoW.
Dragon's Dogma 2 is the only new non-remake release that looks interesting but it apparently needs a lot of work/patches and will apparently only run at a capped 30 FPS after the next update.
I think the next generation from Sony and Xbox should feature the tagline "4K, 60 FPS... and this time we actually mean it!". I know it's more on the developers but still, can't help but feel this generation has been a slight let down so far in terms of what was hinted at.
Briefly forgot about Elden Ring DLC in June
I think its going to be a DLC year for me. Just picked up the bloodborne dlc and doubt i'll wait on Elden Ring dlc. Cyberpunk dlc from last year looks tempting too.
I bought Final Fantasy Rebirth but probably should have waited really. Dragons Dogma looks great but looks like it'll be better in 6 months. There'll probably be a couple of indie titles in the mix but cant see much else.

There is bound to be one. There are always sales.
It's up today
. I wanted Apollo Justice to be on sale as i'm not paying 40 quid for an old remaster, but i picked up the gold edition of RE7 for the PS5 (I liked the PS4 version many years ago) and Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 which I've never played. I just hope they're not too janky/outdated in design as i really love BG3.Anyone else been playing Dragons Dogma 2? It’s been incredibly silent on here. It’s got to be one of the most addictive games I’ve played in years. Reminds me of the love child of Skyrim and Elden ring. I can’t get off it currently.
Heard awful things about micro transactions to fast travel so for that reason I'm out. A single player RPG type game with micros, the developer can feck off. Greedy grabbing bastards.
The original didn't have fast travel, is it the same but with some paid option?
That's exactly what it is, as far as I understand. DD2 lets you fast travel but it uses a resource that isn't readily available to do so, ie fast travel is quite limited. You can pay some amount for more of that fast traveling resource.
Some people seem to have taken a very strong stance against the game for having microtransactions affecting gameplay in a single player game. Normally that would drive me up a wall as well, but it seems more like they included a "pay for ease" in the way that some people would probably pay to fast travel in Dark Souls 1. Those people would be missing the point of the game imo, but it doesn't bother me much as long as the game is built with the intent that players won't be fast traveling much. I'll get my pitchfork out if the game is built in a way where progression is artificially limited to push people towards the microtransactions.
Micro transactions in a £60 single player game are bad, bad, bad. Doesn't matter what way they try to spin it. Being able to change how you play the game after spending extra money on top of the full price is just shitty practise by Capcom. Add to the fact that the game released with poor performance optimisation and in a total state on PC and it's easy to see why people are being negative about it. It sounds like the devs made a quality game and Capcom got impatient and greedy about it.
Plus, the fecking lead dev said only a few weeks ago that the game doesn't have fast travel because it doesn't need it
I'll play it in a year when it's fixed, and cheap.
