jonamok Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Well, I succumbed to the hype and paid £59 for it from TGC on Ebay using today’s 20% off code. (Fat) roll on launch day! 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Jamie John Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 A selfish part of me hopes this isn't as essential as it's shaping up to be, because if it isn't then it'll make choosing between an XSX and PS5 a lot easier. However, it looks bloody incredible, and the first impressions 'reviews' that are floating about seem to corroborate that. Sigh. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Benny Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 The decision is already made for me because you can't actually buy a PS5 right now. Link to post Share on other sites

Go a few pages back - the game looks off and there was a conspiracy about reviews not coming out for launch in time so you dodged a bullet I can't wait - the audio is meant to be amazing so will give the soundbar and rear speakers I have set up a good go with this to see how it fares over headphones 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Number 28 Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 I've watched this played from beginning to end on Twitch and other than a few minor misgivings (he wasn't keen on the soundtrack changes, or the grass weight, plus some flaws/bugs remain) he was extremely positive and was loving it. Spoiler Like Shadow of the Colossus, it is basically the same game under it all with the janky AI, meagre boss movesets and all, but it's still a great game. The most striking change I noticed minute-to-minute, other than the stunning graphics, is the improved animations. The NPCs have facial animations now and the counters/ripostes are satisfyingly long and brutal. (Spoilered in case anyone is super sensitive...) Link to post Share on other sites
Ry Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Watched a fair bit of this being played. The talk about it being the best looking new next gen game, I don't agree with. Don't get me wrong there are some beautiful areasn but then it looks nothing special in large parts of the game. I'm not a souls fan but will prob pick it up when it's very very cheap and see if it clicks. Link to post Share on other sites

Dave White Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Cant get over how utterly next gen this looks, and that's coming off playing on a new build pc with a rtx3090 in it. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Spiderman Assassin’s Creed Valhalla blows it out the water at times. There's a couple upgraded games that look nicer. Yeah, I will need to see it for myself in 4k but I'm just comparing. As I said, It's a gorgeous game. Just some sections are nothing special and some of the journalist talk is a bit overblown. Im gonna get it for Christmas anyway even though souls games always frustrate me within a couple hours, but I'm determined to get into this one. Link to post Share on other sites
Len Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Was all happy to not pick this up as played it originally on import in the full fat ps3 days but oh it looks so so good. I never finished it anyway so I think wait a week or two and there are going to be quite a few copies knocking around and going cheap as many bounce off it. Link to post Share on other sites

You ignored several people asking you to suggest a better looking next gen game, but fair play, you managed to gaslight 'Souls fans' and told me to fuck off. Entry level stuff, but I hope you're feeling better soon. All the best. Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post Calashnikov Posted November 13, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 13, 2020 In my experience, Souls fans make up one of the most harmonious and loveliest communities in all of gaming. I know for sure there can be toxic elements and gatekeeping, because millions of gamers = inevitable toxicity, but if there’s a warmer gaming community in the main, I haven’t been lucky enough to come across it. EDIT: on reflection, the harmonious loveliness is probably what makes them weird as a gaming community. 10 Link to post Share on other sites

Jamie John Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 What's the deal with this and reviews, then - the press are still embargoed or they've only just got copies and are still rapidly trying to get through the game? Link to post Share on other sites
