@Boxmonkey If you really want better comments just post the comments you like to read? Only way to change things is to start doing it.
Now you just posted criticism about criticism. (/jk)

But I agree, I have heard so much negative things about No Man's Sky, Nioh 1+2, Rise Of Ronin, Horizon FW and so on here and on another forums but I just gave up and shut of my brain for most haters. If you like/love a game, comment about the good stuff you like with games, only way to fight the haters tbh.

@Fudo Yeah, that sounded elitist by the reviewer. Guess he was afraid to change up his build too much to work with the new weapons?! My *****'s Stars build is running circles around any Lordsword Greatsword build I can make, so it's all about using the runes most efficient for the build you want to make, I'm sure the new weapons will be great with the right setup.

Edit: so the forum censor the ingame name on my weapon LOL??!! "B_A_S_T_A_R_D's Stars"

@B0udoir "Check that you have the HDR mode activated, which turns on the VRR with your TV. Game is unplayable for me without this mode, but super smooth with it."
HDR and VRR are two separate settings both on your TV and on the PS5. You can have HDR on and VRR off without problems...
HDR are manipulating the colors to give you the feel for more natural lightning on the graphics while VRR (if your TV is a 120 HZ tv and supports it) takes a 40+ fps game and runs it in 120 hz.
So, you should ask @Contimaloris if he/she has a 120 Hz TV and if so, activate 120Hz Mode on it together with VRR in the PS5 settings. If he/she doesn't play Elden Ring on a PS4 that is, then you should suggest to play it on a PS5 instead

Sorry for being nitpicky this early in the morning, but the more you know...

@djlard I'm with you, if the bossfights are tuned for co-op, usually that's too hard for most singleplayers to beat. So I'm not very happy about this, as I'm playing all my games solo 100%.

@Rich33 That's strange, nothing I experience on my PS5 (OG /Discdrive dayone version).
Maybe they released a VRR patch along the way so my TV kicked into 120Hz mode?? I don't know but I have very stable FPS when I play, nothing that distract me graphically when I'm playing the game.

@Rich33 Tried it in performance mode ? I think that will sort out most of your problems to be fair.

@Rich33 So have you actually played it or did you just have it on your wishlist until 1.50? And "I have never had a problem" is kinda true in my experience. The few things that I had a "small" issue with was fixed by all patches released. Works great for me on my PS5!
No apologist, just facts for me!
@MKD88 Same experience for me, nothing to really complain about here either.

I just hope you guys at Push Square will be as nitpicky when reviewing this game as you were with Rise Of Ronin so we the readers can start to learn what way you see these games. Right now the reviews are all over the map, doesn't makes sense to me. As you been hyping up this game since day one I guess it will get 10/10 but will it REALLY be a 10??!!
Personally it seems like a bossfight marathon without real levels inbetween, but I haven't played it, just seen the PS showcases...

@The_Pixel_King I bought the game on last Christmas sale. I ended up with playing it for 6-8 weeks nonstop. I beat every single boss and explored every inch of the map, dungeons, extra bosses and all. Worth every Swedish crown/euro/dollar/pound it cost.
Play the game, enjoy it. And check on youtube if you get stuck 😉🦾😎✌️ You will love Elden Ring if you give it time! 🥰

The summoning pool functions are great. I hope the unnamed improvements are pre-dlc adjustments.

@breakneck

@Specky So you are really calling me "fanboy"? for liking a game that I think was 9.5/10??!!
I didn't read anything after "fanboy" but I'm sure you put all your braincells to work to come up with somethng witty.
I played Rise Of The Ronin on hardest difficulty from day one. Platinumed it in 6 days and played through most of the story on Midnight difficulty when I unlocked it.
How much have you played it to say I'm wrong to have my own opinion??!! I LOVE THE GAME!! Deal with it.

@Kanji-Tatsumi Nioh 3, that would be a dream come true for me too!

Push Square 6/10....

@breakneck "Also, wouldn't it have been easier to switch on a PS4/5 and check the trophy percentage over there for a more accurate look at the boss completion?"

Shardbearer Mogh trophy: 34.7% of players have it. So the article is right (35%). I guess they did check the PS trophylist.

I'm set. Bring on the DLC.

Lego Horizon will probably be released around 10-20th Nov together with the Pro. That way they can bundle it for families to buy as christmas gift..

@0niguy You can check out the "ELDEN RING Shadow of the Erdtree Edition PS4 & PS5" on the PS Store if you need to buy both.

@0niguy I would assume so because they said you have to be at a certain point in the story to be able to travel to the dlc zone.

I believe it when I see it, less stress that way.

@Uromastryx 100% agree with you!!

"Update coming this week".. yeah, I downloaded it a few hours ago so, it already "came"

@TrickyDicky99 With no 1stparty games on the horizon, ofc the PS5 sales dropped 30%, and it will just get worse if they don't announce something new for PS5 SOON!!

I think all the focus on Pc games has put PS5 games as a second priority and made the few games released on the PS5 more buggy. I think Playstation has forgot who made them successful in their chase for quick cash.
I think it will bite them in the butt longterm.
I hope I'm wrong but pretty sure I'm not... 🤷😢

@j2c "Besides, why we all want more Elden Ring we definitely want to know what’s next from FromSoft, what will it be……😬"

Youngling Ring, the prequel.

TDLR: If a game like Diablo 2 or God of War /Horizon made you farm for hundreds of hours to change every value on your gear so you could "use tempering". Would you like it? or would you think the lazy developers made bad loot to begin with?
Support D4 and you will get more "lazy loot" in future games and you can only blame yourself in the end.
YOU (the player) are the problem if you don't fight back now!!

@Khayl Adam
"Arriving on 14th May, Loot Reborn will fundamentally change how the game is played."
Khayl, you sound like you ripped that statement right from the Blizz propaganda pressrelease?! How does it change how the game is played? The OG game is played like: Kill monsters, get loot, change values on loot, equip it, kill more and harder monsters..
After this patch: Kill monsters, get loot, change values on loot, equip it, kill more and harder monsters..

D4 team say they add pits to help leveleling, but next they say you need to be 90-100 for pits. How did that help leveling?

They say the remove the need to farm helltide over and over until you die of boredom, next they say they upgraded helltides so you will have more fun farming them over and over...

Now they say it will be easier to get Uber Uniques (spelling?), but no % is given, just that after you farm materials over and over and over, use tempering over and over and over, and you run helltides over and over and over, you can now run the new pits over and over and over... But when do I get the chance for Ubers? Noone I know even saw one on PTR?

Still the same bullcrap from developers to spend our hard earned cash to waste 100s of hours without getting anything (like fun gameplay + feeling of progress) back.
They want us to farm over and over again because these guys don't get it - what actually made D2 great to begin with.
The powerfantasy!! You find items that instantly makes you stronger and faster, kiling even more monsters on new cool ways. Simple as that.

Now they want you to spend 100 of hours farming loot, break it down into mats, more hours "tempering" just so you can can do thst loop over and over.
F*ck tempering, I want to spend 90% of the gametime killing monsters. And why does noone ask them why they scam people calling the game Diablo 4 when Diablo isn't even mentioned in it??!!
Why are everyone so gullible??!! It's crazy to be honest.

Don't complain if games gets worse and worse if you support "new loot systems" as a selling point for new gamepatches.
It's a slippery slope and we are going downwards fast my friends....
/end rant Back to Rise Of The Ronin (you know that 6/10 game noone will like)

@R_Ryder I would love complete PSVR2 support for OG Returnal!!

@themightyant Yes, it's pretty much 60fps all the time now on the PS5 and today patch 1.044 dropped, so that means they patched it 44 times since release. Tweaks and finetuning together with completely new stuff added. I don't think the game can be much better now tbh.

@ShadowofSparta I don't know what reviews you read, but the game is great!!

Psygnosis, well I still have my framed "Obliterator" poster up on my wall here in my homecinema/gamingroom!! And I still have my Amiga 500 in the closet.

@The_Pixel_King Just read an article about that "Legends of the Zone Trilogy is available now for PS4 and PS5 (via backwards compatibility), with a PlayStation 5 patch coming at a later date adding graphical enhancements and additional features."

Suits me fine as I have too much to play at the moment, so this trilogy is put on the backburner in my backlog.

@edwinjoe450 Yes, 4K 60 fps.

@dark_knightmare2 "They’ve been doing this for a while since at least ac origins I think so I don’t get the outrage"

The price here in Sweden has more than doubled during the last 8 years since AC Origins... Maybe that's worth some outrage?
And the size/playtime/quality hasn't improved at all, mostly the other way tbh.

This sound like M$ wants to "force" us to help them on PS.. Just don't but these crappy games and they will be gone. Playstation and Nintendo ftw.! ✌️😉

So the 6/10 game "beat" the 10/10 game?! Guess peoples taste are more like mine than Push Square's... 🤷😉 Rise Of The Ronin is a 9/10 for me, I done everything and is now in 3rd and last chapter. 🥰

I loved the game since day 1. Never got caught up in the hate-bandwagon that followed. Got my moneys worth and with all the free updates since then it just better and better imho. 🦾🥰✌️And PSVR2 is THE way to play it, just sayin' ✌️

Did I forget the /s ?
Wouldn't waste money on a lying rumourmonger to be honest...

For or against midgen refresh consoles like the Pro, I don't really care, but WHY is noone ever complaining if Xbox or Nintendo does them? This anti Sony propaganda was boring 10 years ago, now it's just ridiculous imho.
Edit: if you don't like 'em, don't buy them. That show them (or not). Complaining for something you never intended to buy to begin with is just sad...

@nomither6 Or a PS5 Pro launch title.

@GilgaMax96 No problems. Happy to hear you enjoy the game. ✌️😁

@TheEnygma Maybe you did same mistake as I did? After intromission, when you get to the main part of the game, I ran around exploring and got to the little camp a little north of the starting point.
I spent 1½ hour there before I realised the reason I couldn't kill them all in that camp was because they was level 6 and I was level 2... LOL I got back to them an hour or so later and got my REVENGE!

@NoHope No, not that I could find. It got tons of settings for target, you're weapon to be shown when not drawn and pretty much anything you can think off apart from any map settings.
But I don't think it's too many things on the map anyway. The review made it sound like the map would be cluttered (maybe it will be later in the game), but I free villages, defeat enemy camps and do main/side quests on my way forward and I don't have that many icons to worry about at any given time.
I hope that helps in some way.
Edit: FOUND IT!! Open map - L2 - Iconfilter - ALL OFF or pick the ones you don't want to show in the very long list that pops up here.

I played nearly 11 hours today. A solid 8/10 for me.
This review makes no sense imho.

@CutchuSlow It was 2K upscaled to 4K on the PS4 Pro if I remember correctly.(Checkerboard rendering)

@GilgaMax96 No I'm not, just want to know how you can be so deadcertain if you haven't played the game yourself...

@GilgaMax96 Not childish, just curious if YOU actually played it?!
It was a Yes/No question. So have you played it?
Youtubers say anything for views, that childish to have as a go to reference imho.

@GilgaMax96 "This is definitely their weakest game imo."
Have you played it already? I thought it was released tomorrow?!

@KonstantTrouble I agree 100% precent with you. Not every game needs to reinvent the wheel over and over. Most games are as good as you let them be tbh. But Push Square has been putting this game up against Dragons Dogma 2 since day one so I'm not surprised. One had to lose I guess.
I'm looking forward to this anyway!
