    Why

    Because if not 85 or above, I’ll not pre-order for playing day 1. I have loads of games in backlog, I’ll play this after a couple of months if low score

    Can someone explain how how these things work?

     

    which XSX mode is equivalent to rest mode and turn off respectively in PS5?

     

    what does XSX do when you shut down via holding the X button and when you shut down by going into the settings? Does auto game updates work when shutting down in both ways, and in which mode - saving energy or other one? Also, if I want to turn off the power supply or electricity goes away, which mode is safe and which way to shut down is safe?

    Dark Souls 3 has the toughest bosses by far.

    Base - Pontiff Sulyvahn, Champion Gundyr, Nameless King, Soul of Cinder.

    DLC - Sister Friede, Demon in Pain & Demon from Below, Darkeater Midir, Slave Knight Gael.

    That's 8 solid hard as nails bosses in the game. I don't think Bloodborne difficulty compares to it.

    These felt relatively easy to me :D

     

    Though it’s not a surprise that different people find different games most difficult especially the 1st game they play 

     

    also, Bloodborne base game is easy as well, only the DLC has some challenging bosses

    And your order by difficulty would be?

    There are several factors to consider 

     

    1) usually anyone’s 1st Fromsoft game feels the hardest because they are not used to such games

     

    2) Sekiro maybe objectively the hardest game because there is no way to side-step the need to git good or to really improve your skills. Also it has a high number of truly challenging bosses

     

    3) Bloodborne is a close 2nd with hard DLC bosses

     

    4) Rest all can be bunched together. From these games, only certain bosses stand our as being hard such as Malenia, Darkeater Midir, Sister Friede, Maliketh, etc. In these games, magic builds can be OP and break the game’s difficulty

    Bought it day 1, but never tried it. Was put off by the difficulty. When compared with Bloodborne, is this much harder? ?

    Yeah harder than bb. I find it the hardest from software game and also their best combat.

    I am just showing off - 

     

    I’ve beaten all Fromsoft games and all their DLCs except Dark Souls 1 and 2 as both are old games (though I’ve bought both of them, will beat them some day)

     

    chronological order in which I’ve beaten Fromsoft games is as follows

     

    1) Bloodborne and DLC

    2) Dark Souls 3 and DLC

    3) Demon’s Souls PS5

    4) Sekiro - all main unique bosses from all endings 

    5) Elden Ring all bosses including Malenia

    How do you guys manage the expenses for the physical games? like is there any cheaper vendor than Amazon? do y'all import? or is eShop only option?

    I was checking on amazon and game prices range from 4.5-5.5k, even BOTW which is 5 years old iirc costing 5.5k

    Amazon prices are crap

     

    try other sellers for a good price for new or pre-owned

     

    Nintendo games hold value for a long time, so you can kick back, relax and play games at leisurely pace and then sell off for a good price without worrying about exponential drop in value

    Kindle Paperwhite 11th gen :wub:

     

    Also, notice my 8 year old worn out Kindle in the background, a solid tank of a product 

     

    question - if you have the 11th gen Kindle, does it feel hollow at the centre portion when you tap the back? Mine feel hollow and that’s bothering me. This design must have been to reduce weight. Old Kindle is rock solid all around but it’s also heavier

  16. SPOILERS - God of War: Ragnarök

    In brief, and in no particular order, 

     

    Combat and gameplay is generally better than GOW 2018. It’s not just more of the same, they’ve added genuine tweaks, though I believe there are fewer findables for builds but maybe I’m mistaken here. 
    Storytelling was off. There are many beautiful moments in the game, and many genuinely enjoyable set pieces. But they’re not as impactful. 
    Kratos has had some estrogen injections it seems, because the character just did not add up. 
    I liked how later on Kratos frequently asks Atreus to “lead”. 
    I felt genuine rage when Brok was killed, which, if you think about it, was the only real bad-a*s in the game. Along with Lunda and that other dwarf in Svartalfheim who tells the god of war to f**k off from his office :lol:  

    I also liked how Sindri was the one to hammer Odin’s soul marble. Made me laugh, in a good way. 
    It took me ~60 hours to complete, with Vanaheim and Alfheim sucking up most of the time outside of the story. 
    Speaking of, Vanaheim is quite beautiful, and genuinely annoying with the goddamn plants. Freya, do something and communicate with them, will you? Also the wishing well was quite pretty. 
    The boss fights were.. okay. Expected better and more varied boss fights with Thor and Odin, specially with the build-up till the final act. 
    I think the build-up from after Brok’s murder till you actually enter Asgard is my favourite part of the game. Still stupid, but the narrative suddenly changes from “no war” to “Ragnarok must happen” just because Odin tricked them and killed Brok? What? Or am I missing something? 

     

    Liked playing with Loki initially, and the added agility and swiftness were appreciated, but his sections are just… boring. The game was too long. 
    Some of the traversal is so shitty. Like I can’t get up to that ledge because a tinker-y metal plate is covering the hook point which I need to kick down from the top? Ugh. 

     

    What did Surtr do exactly? 
    Heimdall was fun, and funny :D 
     

    My two gripes with the 2018 game were: field of view and game length. They’re both as bad or worse in this one. The game is too long, and feels disjointed. And battling more than a single enemy, even minnows, was at best tricky, and at worst quite annoying. None of the one on one bosses, or even the few berserkers I faced gave me any trouble. However fill the arena with half a dozen Einherjars, and it gets stupidly annoying fast. 
    Battling scores of enemies and epic bosses was what the original game excelled at, right from the first on the PS2. 

     

    Which, also, every game that Kratos has his gained abilities reduced was because he dies or something to that effect. Why did he not start with previous game’s gained abilities here? Could’ve used Thor’s first battle this way. 

    Finally, I put on the 2018 GOW on the PS4 on another HDMI port just to get a feel of the difference side by side, and I couldn’t play for more than a few minutes. Which leads me to the biggest takeaway for me from this game: always, always, “favour performance”. 
     

    8/10

    If you managed to write these many thoughts, it’s at least 9.5/10

    I always assumed it's because the Pro batteries are rated for 500 charges vs 2100 for the normal ones.

     

     

    Usually Pros last a week or more when I am playing XSX. Mine died in 2 years. That’s about 100 charge cycles 

     

    also, when I am playing my PS5, XSX takes a rest which means the Pros have been charged for max 50-80 cycles perhaps 

     

    Which mean Pros died too soon ?
