Re: Poll: Are You Playing The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered?

DTfearTheBEARD

I payed $10 for the upgrade last night and played a few hours of it this morning.
It looks like the PS4 version to me, which is already one of the best-looking games I've played to date, so that's fine.

Performance mode with the unlocked frame rate is what I prefer. But Fidelity mode at 40fps is nice, too.

I transferred my PS4 save so I have the Platinum. But I'll play through it again to enjoy the Dualsense features, gyro controls, and improved loading times.

It will be nice to see if the game can reach and maintain a steady 120fps in Performance and 60fps in Fidelity when/if a PS5 Pro releases. I'll definitely pick up a physical copy once the price drop to $30 or less.

Re: New Resident Evil 4 PC Achievements Indicate More Content Is on the Way

DTfearTheBEARD

Give me any reason to go back to this masterpiece. I double dipped and bought a copy for Series X a few weeks ago just to play it again. After getting all the achievements, I still wanted more, lol. With gyro support and the Dualsense Edge, PS5 version is my preferred way to play. I'm debating on picking up a PSVR2 just to play this and RE Village in VR.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 473

This week I continue to buy digital copies of games I own physically. Because i'm too lazy to swap discs and it's less wear and tear on the disc drive of my PS5. Since all of these games are on sale, I downloaded -

Bioshock The Collection
Dragon's Crown Pro
Dying Light Definitive Edition
Sniper Elite V2 Remastered
The Last of Us Part 2
Through The Woods
Unravel Yarney Bundle

All of those games for $50, not a bad deal.

After getting the Platinum on The Last Of Us Part 1 last year. I've been meaning to play Part 2 again (even though I have the Platinum in that also) so I started that last night. Other then that, on Switch I'm playing Bayonetta Origins. I ordered physical copies of Dead Island 2 & Fatal Frame Mask of the Luner Eclipse, but they won't arrive until Tuesday.

Have a great weekend, everyone!

Re: Atomic Heart Update 1.4 Adds 120fps Support on PS5, Fixes Trophies, More

DTfearTheBEARD

120hz mode is a very welcome update. I was pretty excited to play this a few months before launch but ended up being disappointed.

It's not a terrible game but it definitely didn't live up to the expectations I had for it. But I still need to go back and finish it. Mabey I'll boot up my Series X and do that this weekend. At least it's on Game Pass so I didn't waste money buying it.

I'm still trophy hunting on Resident Evil 4 Remake.

My physical copies of Bayonetta Origins & Metroid Prime Remastered came in yesterday.
I started Bayonetta Origins last night and the beautiful art style looks amazing on my OLED display.

Other then that I still have to finish Octopath Traveler 2, Hogwarts Legacy, & Fatal Frame Mask of the Lunar Eclipse. So I'll be busy for a while.

Re: It's Never Been Cheaper to Seriously Expand Your PS5's Storage Space

DTfearTheBEARD

The prices are dropping so fast on these. Sony made a better decision when it comes to SSD expanded storage over Xbox.

I bought a 1TB WB Black SSD for $220 at the end of 2021 to a 2TB Samsung 980 Pro at the beginning of this year for $200.

Paying $360 for a 2TB Seagate SSD for my Series X seemed like such a rip off in comparison.

At this rate I'll be able to upgrade to a 4TB SSD for my PS5 by the end of this year or early next year. With over 80 physical PS5 games not including PS Plus Essential/Premium more storage is already needed.

Re: Resident Evil 4 Remake's Chainsaw Demo Cuts PS5, PS4 Today

DTfearTheBEARD

@dschons The gyro does feel a little off. I'm assuming part of the reason is because Leon has weapon sway. I'm pretty sure I was able to aim left and right with the right stick while using gyro, but not up and down. I'll have to play the demo again and see. I hope the full game will add options to adjust the gyro sensitivity. Either way, it's better than no gyro at all. I'm still able to pull off head shots. But the gyro in Resident Evil Revelations on Switch, for example, still feels better.

Re: Where to Buy PS5 DualSense Edge Controller

DTfearTheBEARD

Ordered my Dualsense Edge from Playstation Direct last night. Once I got used to back buttons, it's hard to go without them. I wish the battery life was better but I game at my desk with charging stands and cables within arms reach. Also having only 2 back buttons instead of 4 is disappointing. But it's not a deal breaker.

Re: Poll: What Was Your Favourite PS5, PS4 Game in January 2023?

DTfearTheBEARD

Dead Space is easily my game of the month/year so far for PS5. I enjoyed it so much that after I finished it, I went back and played/beat Dead Space 2 on my Series X this morning. I also played through Dead Space 3 co-op about a month ago. I'll be starting an NG+ of Dead Space Remake today!

I'm playing Persona 3 & 4 on Switch.

I picked up a copy of DBZ Kakarot for PS5 but have yet to play it.

Re: Poll: Did You Buy the Dead Space PS5 Remake?

DTfearTheBEARD

Put my pre-order in last week, and my copy is out for delivery today. I have the original Dead Space for Xbox 360, and I've only played and completed it once years ago.

After recently finishing Dead Space 3 co-op with a friend (Series X), and it wasn't bad, just not scary. I'm excited to get lost in a more survival horror Dead Space game again.

Re: Dead Space (PS5) - Faithful Remake Brings Back a Classic

DTfearTheBEARD

My copy shipped out today, so it should be here tomorrow on release. 60fps all the way.

The biggest disappointment to me is the lack of gyro support, but I'll have to do without it. I've had Dead Space for years on 360, but I only played it one time.

So this will be a pretty fresh experience for me. With lights off, headphones on, and an OLED display!

Between Dead Space & Goldeneye, this is going to be a great weekend!

Re: Hardware Review: DualSense Edge - An Outstanding Upgrade for Enthusiasts

DTfearTheBEARD

I was debating on pre-ordering one but decided not to. With 7 Dualsense controllers, I can wait a little while on this.

I will admit that when I play games on my Series X with the Elite Series 2 or PS4 games with a Dualshock 4 and back button attachment, I miss the back buttons after picking up a Dualsense.

I don't play games competitively, so I don't take advantage of everything a Pro style controller has to offer (trigger stops, thumb stick tension, ect), but the back buttons and premium feel is great for someone like me who games multiple hours a day.

I'll eventually pick one up, but for now, the standard Dualsense is fine.

Re: Dead Space PS5 Uses DualSense to Deliver a New Dimension of Dread

DTfearTheBEARD

@dschons I prefer to have loose stick resistance also. It's nice to be able to adjust the stick tension on my Elite Series 2 controller. I was hoping the Dualsense Edge controller would have the same option, but that doesn't seem to be the case, unfortunately. If only Xbox controllers had gyro sensors in them, then gyro would probably be a standard across the board for all consoles. I agree. It's nice to see Sony have gyro available for most of their 1st party games. It's definitely a step up from the PS4 gen that's for sure.
