Beliall 6,363 Posted 21 October 2020 Report Share Posted 21 October 2020 restarted death stranding today, after leaving it a while, still havent completed it , playing on very hard now and its definitely better i feel, much more of a sense of risk , still undecided if im going ot leave the online stuff on. i never liked seeing signes, ladders and behiles appear when you connect a city, as well as the ground deteriotation from others, rocky areas becoming clear suddenly because you pressed a button. i left it on for now because thats what kojima intended but im still not entirely sold on it as a mechanic. brilliant game though, restarting it allowed me to enjoy those opening ccutscenes again, and this time im taking a slower approach to tidy up each area before moving on to the next. plus i ignored loads of side stuff last time Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LCFCCHRIS 337 Posted 24 October 2020 Report Share Posted 24 October 2020 Picked up a PS4 pro cheap now everyone is starting to sell as been itching to play the mafia 1 remaster ! Never played the original version but to those wondering, the notorious race mission is certainly still painstakingly difficult to win on simulation driving setting, took me about 40 attempts 🤣. Just be sure to use 'x' as a bit of a aid to straighten out round corners (it's the ram button but it serves to course correct a bit). So far well worth the buy. I got the collection with 2 and 3 included. I love driving around in a 1930s world, like that aesthetic and it's possibly the closest you can get to exploring a world like that. Graphics are nice too. A nice story game in a market mostly dominated by multiplayer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If they're not allowing chat, it may be that it's harder for Sony or Microsoft to police potential complaints against players on another platform - and maybe that's seen as less of an issue on COD as it has a higher certification, whereas Rocket League is suitable for all ages Edited 25 October 2020 by Julian Joachim Jr Shabadoo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Must've spent about 5 hours on School II School II buggered me at the lost Roll Call rail about 3 times before I did it, and yeah it took me about 5 hours! Roswell (for the High Deck) and Bullring were the hardest. There's a bit of a knack to the Ramp 2 Roof gap on Venice, but once you've done it a few times you'll learn where to launch from and what angle. It's that last manual though, because you have to land the first table without missing any of it, the manual isn't quite straight (and you've got to watch the balance meter), and if you're going to slow you won't make the end, and if you're going too fast you overshoot the first table!

Jaspa 2,157 Posted 17 November 2020 Report Share Posted 17 November 2020 There's a trick to get CoD Cold War for a fiver on xbox at the moment. Cross generation. From what I've played though it feels a downgrade on MW, which I really enjoyed so maybe it's just that high standard I'm holding it to. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jaspa 2,157 Posted 17 November 2020 Report Share Posted 17 November 2020 Wouldn't bother with the new CoD. Maybe they'll flesh it out into a decent game over the next two months but right now it's so bad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ive not bothered with Cold War as all im playing with Modern Warfare is Warzone anyway. Ive got a few friends who all agree that its ok but the lack of maps is poor Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Maps are crap though and the guns feel awful, shotguns especially. MW is a high bar for me, the first CoD I gave a proper go since MW3. Not bad for a fiver Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Legend_in_blue 1,663 Posted 23 November 2020 Report Share Posted 23 November 2020 Demons Souls on PS5. Audio is outstanding, the best immersion for sound in game I can think of. Brutal. Graphically it's also outstanding. It's not "too" hard either, perseverance is key. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Do you have a surround sound setup? Just asking, cos I know the PS5 doesn't have the optical out that I use on my PS4 to plug into my surround sound receiver. I think I can get a hdmi-optical splitter, has one ever used one? Do they work just as well? It will put me off getting a PS5 if it will require upgrading my TV or audio too. As it stands, I'm waiting on that must have game that will force me to get a new console. Still plenty of PS4 games I want to get round to. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Still plenty of PS4 games I want to get round to. Not a surround sound setup as in speakers around the room. But I invested in a really decent pair of headphones that will do 7.1 surround sound on a laptop/PC and 5.1 over the headphone jack. Plug into the PS5 controller and away you go. Is Demons Souls a must have game? Mmmmm, depends on taste I guess, but it's reviewing strongest out of any of the release titles for a reason. Up close and personal is how I'd describe some of the encounters. It's hard to describe, you have to try it to believe it, the controller itself also adds to the immersion. It's superb. And the 4k graphics are amazing on this game. The initial tunnel where you start and the water effects with the vegetation in the water, incredible. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

True, I don't know how they got the rights to work on the COD franchise in the first place. I know the general sentiment is that COD is just a stale franchise for angry 10 year olds at this point, but IW put a lot of effort into building the series up and moving console FPS mechanics forward. Treyarch are always about 4 years behind IW, way worse quality control/sound/mechanics, "but zombies!" 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
