Re: Mini Review: Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana (PS5) - Falcom's Fantastic Action RPG Is Still a Joy

DTfearTheBEARD

Great game! Not much of an upgrade over the PS4 version though. I didn't know it runs at 120fps, seems more like 60fps to me. Didn't see any Performance or Quality settings in the options menu. I missed out on a physical copy for PS4, so it's nice to have a physical copy for PS5. Hopefully YS 9 will have a standard physical version for PS5 as well, when it releases next year.

Re: Poll: Did You Buy God of War Ragnarok?

DTfearTheBEARD

Looks like my copy won't be delivered today (PS5). Mabey it will show up tomorrow.

My God of War Dualsense controller barely shipped out today, so it won't arrive until Friday.

Oh well, back to Bayonetta 3 and Persona 5 Royal for the time being...

Re: Official God of War Ragnarok PS5, PS4 Graphics Modes Revealed

DTfearTheBEARD

I honestly can't tell the difference between 1440p upscaled and native 4k.

I'm not sure about that because UE5 seems demanding. Most games running on UE5 will probably run at 30-40fps. But I could be wrong about that.

I'd like the option to have ray tracing and 60fps and not have to choose one or the other. Mabey a PS5 Pro will fix that?

At the end of the day, I can't complain. For $500 the PS5 & Series X are much more capable than I could have imagined. A big upgrade from my PS4 Pro & Xbox One X, that's for sure...

Re: Mini Review: XIII (PS5) - Improvements Can't Save This Remaster Redo

DTfearTheBEARD

Pre-ordered my physical copy a few weeks back and I like it so far. I never played the original, but I remember seeing it in stores back in the day. It's nothing groundbreaking, but a decent first person shooter that runs at a smooth 60fps on my PS5. I was surprised to see it includes 4-player split screen. Which is a plus for me. I can't wait to try out split screen deathmatch with a few friends one of these days...

Re: Hands On: Shadows of Rose Turns Resident Evil Village into Magic

DTfearTheBEARD

Looks like I'll be double dipping day 1. I loved RE Village on PS5 last year. Was thinking about buying it for Series X this time, but the Dualsense controller haptics and adaptive triggers are enough of a reason to buy the Gold edition for PS5. Plus i prefer to have my current gen games on a 4K blu-ray disc, instead of the standard Xbox One/Series X blu-ray.

Re: Like a Dragon 8 Announced for PS5, PS4 in 2024, Kiryu Is Back

DTfearTheBEARD

@huyi I'm probably in a better situation than most, since I work from home and my consoles are on my desk near me at all times. Plus I usually have free time throughout the day in between work to get a few gaming sessions in.

I agree, the rest of this year and next year are packed with games I'll be buying day 1. RE 4 & RE Village are kinda motivating me to get a PSVR2. But we will see.

To be fair, I upgraded to 90 days of premium for $15 to try it out. If I like it enough, I'll renew my subscription for another year...

Re: Like a Dragon 8 Announced for PS5, PS4 in 2024, Kiryu Is Back

DTfearTheBEARD

@huyi Haha I'll try. It doesn't help that I recently upgraded to PS Plus premium. I already downloaded about 12 games that I'm interested in, and feel the need to complete those (Game Pass games included) before there removed from the subscription services. As a kid, I would have been amazed at so many different options of games to play at any given time. I'm thankful for it but sometimes I feel overwhelmed with so many choices lol.

Re: Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection Just Got VRR Support in Latest Update

DTfearTheBEARD

@dschons Yeah, gyro aiming was added to TLOU Part 2 a few months after launch. I went back and played it again to get the Platinum and playing with gyro was glorious! Exactly lol, the first thing I did was upgrade the weapon sway fully in TLOU Part 1. I love RE7 but unfortunately I never played it in VR. I'm debating getting PSVR2 just to play RE4 & RE Village. I agree, gyro controls felt perfect in HFW. Hopefully more games will support gyro on PS5 because the list is so small compared to Switch.

Re: Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection Just Got VRR Support in Latest Update

DTfearTheBEARD

I already played both games in 1080p at 120fps on my LG C1 OLED and it was a great experience. The gameplay was so smooth and it still looked good, even at 1080p. I still need to go back to Uncharted 4 to get some more trophies for the Platinum. This will give me another reason to check out the VRR update. I hope Naughty Dog added gyro aiming with this update as well 🤞.

Re: Grey PS5 Console Cover, Controller, and Headset Revealed by Sony

DTfearTheBEARD

@Meehanuk_1987 I felt the same way for a while. Playing with the Dualsense made my Series X controller and even the Switch Pro controller feel dated. After finally buying an Elite Series 2 controller, it made me want to play my Series X more, because of how comfortable and premium that controller feels. The 4 back buttons on the Elite Series 2 are an absolute game changer. Something I wish the Dualsense had. Even the new Dualsense Edge will only have 2 back buttons. I wish Sony would at least release a back button attachment for the Dualsense, like they did with the Dualshock 4.

Re: Grey PS5 Console Cover, Controller, and Headset Revealed by Sony

DTfearTheBEARD

@Meehanuk_1987 Collecting every color of a controller isn't something I would usually do, but I really like the Dualsense controller. It's my favorite controller of all time! My family/friends tell me I don't NEED that many Dualsense controllers and think it's a waste of money. But I'm a controller junkie, so I can't help it 😂😂.

Re: The Last of Us PS5's Pricey Firefly Edition Shipping in Shocking Condition

DTfearTheBEARD

I don't understand why companies don't put $100 plus Collector's Edition games in a cardboard box when shipping them. I usually order my games from Best Buy, and all of my Collector's Edition games are shipped in boxes. Most recently, Made in Abyss Collector's Edition (yesterday) & TMNT Cowabunga Collection Collector's Edition (Tuesday). This seems to be a common thing with Amazon as well(using envelopes), smh it's such a shame to see Sony do the same thing.

I was thinking about waiting to order a Firefly Edition myself, and now I'm glad I just bought a standard copy instead.

Re: Poll: Did You Buy The Last of Us: Part I?

DTfearTheBEARD

I pre-ordered my copy, just waiting on UPS to deliver it. Even though I have the PS3 & PS4 versions, I couldn't resist getting the best console version available for one of my all time favorite games. Can't wait to play it tonight!

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 441

DTfearTheBEARD

I'll start Soul Hackers 2 for PS5 today, when my copy arrives. Hopefully I can finish it before The Last Of Us Part 1 releases. Other then that, some more Xenoblade Chronicles 3. I should be done with it before the weekends over. And probably some Dying Light 2 co-op on Series X with a friend.

Have a great weekend everyone! Happy gaming!

Re: Poll: How Much Would You Pay for the DualSense Edge PS5 Pro Controller?

DTfearTheBEARD

Hopefully it's around $150. I can't see it costing more than the Xbox Elite Series 2 controller at $180 but who knows. Either way, I'll be buying one asap! I have 6 Dualsense controllers that I'd like to still use, so I hope Sony releases a back button attachment for those. If not, they probably won't get much use from me after picking up a Dualsense Edge.
