@hondo Are you human? Can't summon unless you are.

@ellsworth004 A very good site. I prefer the layout of wikidot but can't go wrong with fextra.

@TG16_IS_BAE Disagree. I played it my first time as Royalty and was practically getting one-shotted by the very first enemies in 1-1. Switched to Priest and 1-1 was almost a cakewalk. My daughter also found Knight a lot easier. Strength, endurance, and vitality are easy mode. Good armor helps tons too. I know some say Royalty is easy mode but there are others who agree with me (just see above me for one example).

@Gremio108 Agreed. Playstyle is everything and can determine which class you play best with.

@TG16_IS_BAE That’s overrated. You need defense so you can take more than one or two hits from even weak enemies. You start with good armor and build endurance. That’s actually easy mode. You can add the magic later for ranged attacks.

If you start with a class with decent armor and make sure when you level you add endurance to get in plenty of hits, you’ll do well to start. Get some soul arrows once magic opens up, and you’ll be all set. Grind for leveling to build your defense.

@Jaz007 I was talking about selling it online to tens of people and assumed you were, as well. But yeah that's still unethical or immoral, it's just degrees. That's why it's dangerous. One step leads to another.

@Jayslow People don’t deserve everything they feel entitled to.

@Jaz007. Careful... that kind of unethical thinking can lead to immorality and criminal behavior.

Absolutely the best, hands down (literally).

2020, simply because of Demon’s Souls. For me, that game is better than GoW, Spidey, Last of Us, and Horizon Zero Dawn COMBINED (and I liked all of those).

Lambert made that movie. Great choice.

@BlaizeV Yeah it’s pretty bad.

Very fun game, but the rubber banding with the AI drives me nuts.

@masofdas Ugh, very sorry to hear that. Hope you get it sorted.

2% don't like it or think it's "rubbish". How is that even possible?

@Stevey_Mac Awful news and a royal pain. I hope it works out okay for you!

That's great news! I can't wait for this one!

Who was it on here that a few months ago was saying that Demon's Souls wasn't going to be a big time launch title for PS5?

This is an incredible set of games. If you never had a PS4, it's a PS5 system seller, and it's worth way way more than $60 per year of PS Plus.

I have launch day off, as well as Friday, but my console isn't even shipping until launch day; my bet is it arrives Saturday evening. I start a block of nine straight days of work on Saturday night, meaning I won't get to do anything more than set the console up, if that. Who knows, my PS5 might not even arrive until Monday. Yeah, sucks to be me. lol

@get2sammyb I know you prefer the new face, but weren't you the one who mentioned you thought Aloy from H: ZD was super attractive? Clearly we have different tastes.

"We hope you look forward to it" has 24 letters, so I am predicting it is out in 24 months OR is delayed to 2024 OR will feature a remake in 24 years.

I don’t play Ubisoft/EA/Activision games but have planned from the start to keep my PS4 plugged in and suggest others do the same.

@Nepp67 Neat. I generally never replay games, but it was worth multiple playthroughs for the platinum; it was that good.

lol I just finished platinuming it a couple months ago. I think maybe the difference is I pretty much constantly control the camera when it's not locked on. I don't know, it's weird.

Oh... I do remember it happened with Hirata Owl some, and that was annoying. Maybe it was just less egregious for me in other spots.

@Tchunga Like I said, never happened to me. And I platted the game.

@pip_muzz I don’t remember that happening to me, but it may be that after many From games I have learned to unlock and relock the camera and manually move it to compensate. Or it’s a playstyle thing. Sorry you had so much trouble with it.

I played this game to death and got the platinum; no way I’m going back to it, as much as I enjoyed it. To be honest, a boss rush mode doesn’t really do anything for me. There are too many other games, anyway, and PS5 with DeSo is just around the corner.

@pip_muzz @ear_wiG. I honestly can’t remember having a single camera issue in this game or pretty much any From game. I’m wondering what the complaint is. Is it a lock on issue? I’m usually very sensitive to camera issues, so I am curious as to the problems you had.

@Carl-G I never scroll down.

@Immortal_Barnet I agree; it's the best since PS1. I don't know why this launch lineup isn't more touted.

@GeneJacket Thanks for your thoughts and the recommendations.

@GeneJacket Dang, bummed to hear that. wipEout 3 was the most stoic and sterile of the originals, so it would make sense. I'll definitely pass.

@Nakatomi_Uk No downvote. Please explain why.

@L3GTRIGA Right but I think casuals are going with mobile and Switch anyway, no?

@zupertramp @darklloyd @lonejester. They are dropping the wishlist entirely. My theory on this is they don’t want people like us putting games on there and waiting for sales.

@L3GTRIGA Strongly disagree. Look at Nintendo. Great first party exclusives breed sales and loyalty.

I’ll worry about this when ES6 releases in 2025 or so. And not that much — Bethesda games are massively overrated anyway.

Is this for real? Do you actually get to have the cat along? That'd make me interested in this game again after getting turned off by the changes to Peter Parker...

@ellsworth004 Would've. Actually, on second thought, wouldn't've.

256. I was behind my friend by a decent number of overall trophies (bronze), but since I have five plats and he has none, we are now tied! I have more golds and silvers, too, actually.

How is the subtitle not “give your enemies a ruff time“?

@Stragen8 Yeah explodable buildings would be cool.

@get2sammyb @TheIdleCritic I actually always thought it looked good. Sadly, I can't say the same about Peter Parker's new face.

DeSo day one and Sackboy when on sale.

No Spidey because I'm annoyed about the face change to Peter.

Will get LoU2, Ghost, and RE3 when the PS5 upgraded versions are out.

The change bothers me enough that I'm considering not buying the rest of the games. I grew attached to Peter's character with his original look and prefer that look to boot.

From a good looking guy to an average looking guy with a weak jaw and an oddly smallish mouth with no upper lip. Yeah, good call. lol

Forgive me, but isn't this the ultimate first world problem? You can still transfer your PS4 save via backward compatibility and play the PS4 game you purchased on PS5. I just had to restart Mario 64 from scratch on Switch after getting 50 stars on the Wii U Virtual Console version — no one forced me to to this, I could have finished the game on the Wii U; related to this, I see no one complaining about Nintendo's handling of saves on prior iterations of their games. This is creating an issue where there is none, in my opinion.

@NEStalgia You make some fine points. I can't say I disagree, especially re: Jim Ryan — he seems entirely overmatched. I do think Sony is being reactionary to market trends and is setting up to be more of a higher end platform in terms of its first party/published games — while being willing to take a loss on hardware to get in the door and sell more games and subscriptions. As you mention, with such high development costs, Sony can't afford big losses. I think the goal is ultimately to land mostly digital sales of what is billed as a superior product line (and, let's face it, up to this point, Sony has delivered on that front) and to control prices much more tightly this generation, as Nintendo has always done. Of note, Microsoft suddenly acquiring a potential boatload of exclusives via ZeniMax may have put a huge dent in things. Ultimately, I suspect Sony has watched Microsoft devalue games with the Game Pass platform, calculated it's simply not financially sustainable, and decided that the approach outlined above may be the only option. In any case, Microsoft seems to be putting Sony in a tough spot this generation!
