Just play it like Bloodborne and you'll be fine.

Summons753309d ago

right, dodge is your best friend.

ThanatosDMC3308d ago

Exactly! But after watching some people's streams, they somehow really struggle with the concept of dodging simple telegraphed attacks. Are the controls bad or do they just suck?

Xer0_SiN3308d ago

where is a legit inn where i can rest to refill my life bar? the difficulty im playing on, i guess, disables life refill with meditation.

JamesBondage3308d ago

@ Xer0_SiN. Just change the difficulty so that you can meditate to fill health, afterwards you can change difficulty back..

Onehandband1t3308d ago

No, meditation and good preparation with potions are your best friend. Bloodborne lol

GrieverSoul3308d ago

The only struggle I am having is Reading the small text!

Jesus... cant they make the font size bigger?

I can barely read some of the items. This is fine for PC but for consoles, man... way to small.

UnHoly_One3308d ago (Edited 3308d ago )

+1 on the font size.

My god it is terrible. Last night I spent almost as much time standing up so I could be closer to the screen as a I did sitting in my recliner.

I just had an eye exam 2 months ago, I'm 20/20.

I sit 10 feet from a 65 inch TV.

But when I loot a container I'll be damned if I have the slightest clue what I'm picking up.

I think I might just wait for an update. It isn't worth straining my eyes every time I want to look at my inventory.

Clown_Syndr0me3308d ago

@UnHoly_One
I agree the font is tiny and I have to squint a little. It needs an option to enlarge. However are you sure your not exaggerating a little? I sit maybe 3 meters from my 50 inch and I can read everything. But it does strain my eyes a little!

Kidmyst3308d ago

@JamesBondage but that will mess up the Trophy/achievement if going for it on the harder difficulties.

UnHoly_One3308d ago

I'm not exaggerating.

My TV is 65 inches. I sit 10 feet from it.

I can guess at the descriptions of items in my inventory or a loot box, but only if I sit forward in my chair to get closer and strain to see them, and even then I'm not sure if I've got it right or not.

no bloodborne is good but this game controls like a pos everything has some crazy unnecessary delay.

@ThanatosDMC the controls are crap I don't even know how they thought they were okay maybe the people play testing the game were blind.

UnHoly_One3308d ago

Sometimes I try to cast a sign and nothing happens at all.

Then I get my face ripped off immediately afterwards.

"Well there's no need to fret. Here's a run down of some pretty simple tips that will help you get to slaying foes in no time.......If you can get it to work or not crash all the time" Fixed.

Splatoon3309d ago

Didn't stop Skyrim or Fallout winning multiple GOTY awards. Its a western game so it's game breaking problems will be totally ignored.

LAWSON723308d ago

Which is a western developer...

Splatoon3308d ago

Poland is in Europe. Europe is a part of the western world.

SinisterKieran3308d ago

sorry..am i stupid or something.
isn't games made in the USA western developed?

vikingland13308d ago

@SinisterKieran
You really think the USA is the only western country in the world? Is Japan the only eastern country in the world? Google will help you out search western civilazation or something along those lines.

DEEBO3309d ago

Man I feel bad for you guys I haven't had not one problem.

AndyMoore3309d ago

Me either, but that's the sacrifice I chose when I opted for PS4 over PC. FORGIVE ME.

Vegamyster3308d ago

From what i've heard people have been experiencing issues on all platforms, i haven't had any 7 hours in on the PC version yet.

starchild3309d ago

I'm playing on PC and I honestly haven't had a single crash and very few bugs. For me it seems like a very polished game, especially for an open world game.

slappy5083308d ago

Same here, I'm playing it on 1440p ultra and the only time I've noticed frame dips is during the cuts scenes, strangely

nucky643308d ago

it's a great game, but I wouldn't say "very polished".....it has more loading screens than any game I've ever played and some of those loads are LOOOOOONG! I'm playing on ps4 - I don't know if pc version is plagued with load screens - I sure hope not.

slappy5083308d ago

There aren't any loading screens on PC except when you travel, and then for me it's literally less than a second

3308d ago
vikingland13308d ago

No problems for me yet either I'm 10 hrs in on PS4. That's the risk with big open world games because game testers can't simulate 1 million people playing so many different ways.

gamer93308d ago

Still waiting for you to tell us what your 1 problem is =)

StarLord_Who3309d ago

Can anyone give me tips on crafting and loot. I know what they are and can usually get my head around them in games such as The Last of Us but i don't play many RPGs?

Thanks

AndyMoore3309d ago

By crafting do you mean equipment like armor and weapons? Or are you referring to the alchemy (making bombs, potions etc..)

Christopher3309d ago

AFAIK, it's a lot of deconstructing other items and finding the right smith with the ability to craft specific items.

ninjahunter3309d ago

Ive been playing on hard (Blood and broken bones or something like that) The only problem ive had in any fight is when there's about 5-6 badguys bum rushing you at once. Seems to me the most important thing you can do is kinda a little distance and just pick them to pieces.

The 7 Best Western RPGs: Immersive Adventures

RPGs are often huge, sprawling endeavours. With limited playtime, we have to choose wisely, so here's the best western RPGs available today.

SimpleSlave65d ago

"I started playing games yesterday" the List... Meh!

How about a few RPGs that deserve some love instead?
1 - Alpha Protocol - Now on GOG
2 - else Heart.Break()
3 - Shadowrun Trilogy
4 - Wasteland 2
5 - UnderRail
6 - Tyranny
7 - Torment: Tides of Numenera

And for a bonus game that flew under the radar:
8 - Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden

DustMan65d ago

Loved Alpha Protocol in all it's glorious jank. Great game.

SimpleSlave64d ago (Edited 64d ago )

Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.

Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.

Pity.

shinoff218389d ago

I can't fk with this list. They missed on alot of games probably before the writers times. Also I know people loved some portal but I was never a fan.

Cacabunga89d ago

Tomb Raider 1
Driver 1
Abe’s Odyssey
FF6
King of Fighters 94
Mortal Kombat OG
LINK 2 the past
Street Fighter 2
Resident Evil 1

Inverno88d ago

Infinite but not the first two games? Witcher 3 but not the first two games?? GTA V but not literally any of the games before it??? Portal 2 but not the first? Also if you're going to play Shadow of The Colossus play the remaster and not the remake. Can't say I disagree with the list but my man it's all over the place.

Name Last Name88d ago

I mean some sequels are objectively better and you don’t need to play the whole series.

Inverno88d ago

But most of these games have a story to follow, sure you can catch up with a YouTube vid but where's the fun in that?

LucasRuinedChildhood88d ago (Edited 88d ago )

A list like this isn't telling you not to play the previous games if you want to. It's just giving you legendary games to play.

But tbh, you don't always have to force yourself to play every entry in a franchise to get to the better ones.

- The vast majority of Witcher 3 players never played the first 2 and had a great time. The first 2 games aren't in the same league.
- The GTA games are self-contained with the odd fun reference. You can easily jump into any of them.
- The Shadow Of The Colossus remake looks and controls better than the original (plus it has a 60fps option while the remaster is just 30fps). New players will enjoy it more.
- Portal 2 is a lot better than Portal 1 and takes the concept much further gameplay-wise. Storywise, Portal 1 is fairly light too. Not that you shouldn't play it but realistically ... you'd love Portal 2 whether you play it or not (at lot of Portal 2 players have never played 1).

Bioshock 1 is the only one I agree with you on simply because it's one the best games of all time and arguably better than Infinite. No other setting like Rapture.

Looking at the list, I'd recommend playing Uncharted 1 before 2 but no doubt, 2 is the legendary one you have to play.

Inverno88d ago

I get it, but that's just my opinion on his opinion. I just think that before you play a sequel you should still play what came before it. Maybe it's just me but i find it fascinating playing through the first game in a series and seeing how it has evolved through its sequels. Like I said I don't disagree with the list, other than SoTC which I strongly believe the remaster of the original should be played above the remake.

AuraAbjure88d ago

Awesome list! Hot take on Fear (and it's hard af expansion Persaus Mandate!) Bioshock Infinite is stellar, so is the Witcher 3 and you nailed it by having Ocarina of Time. So many fantastic games! Gotta play 'em all! Next one on my list is Prey after I beat Dead Space 2 and Splinter Cell Conviction.
