SL1 run underway. Only downside is the thumbsticks are taking some getting used to, but it's literally the first time I've ever held an Xbox controller so I suppose it'll come in time.

Killed Manus in four goes and Kalameet took about 10. Parried Gwyn to death on the third go so that's everything done now. Either Demon Souls on PS5 or DS2 next.

Looks and plays better than DS3 even on the Series X . Weapon durability was an issue but I think that was patched on PS???? The DLC though isn't a cake walk and I found some of those areas a real challenge.

It didn't make any sense as it usually just hovered around 45 fps making it pretty juddery. When played on PS5 it runs at a locked 60 FPS.Weird that they never patched it for 1X, which means I think it is still stuck at 900p/30 FPS on series X.

Going back to it now it was near unplayable, I made it to the first boss before leaving it. EDIT: Actually I must go and check if it's going to be one of the games to benefit from the fps boost feature MS have implemented on the X.

SomeSayKos wrote: » Is it the PS5 Demons souls? I think the default is a new camera mode called chase. I think there's a setting called 'manual' which is supposedly similar to the classic souls camera. I've not tried it myself though as I didn't have any issue with the default one.

Might not play it for a while, but even regardless of price, just wondering what the opinion of it is compared to other SoulsBorne games (particularly Demon's Souls which I imagine is the closest comparison).

Good ‘ol FightinCowboy released a 100% walkthrough recently so I decided to take the plunge again. The biggest thing for me was coming to the realisation that you don’t actually need to parry with the gun to proceed, which I was convinced was the case previously. Once I got over that it went smoothly. Having said all that, I’m not quite sure why people consider it a masterpiece and the crown jewel of the series. Personally I preferred souls a lot more, particularly DS1 and 3. Also loved Demon Souls.

There's too many janky areas and too many gimmick bosses for me to say it's anywhere near the best or is it just emperor's new clothing as it's the only stand out exclusive on the PS5?
