PS5 seems smoother. At the same point in both on Balanced and the XSX has some serious drops, especially on staircases.

 

[Valedix]

We should get a room of requirement showcase thread, conjuring is the coolest shit ever.

 

[Valedix]

Look @ that user score

 

[ManaByte]

Some PS5 Balanced screens.

Some PS5 Balanced screens.

How's the consistency in the balanced mode ? Also, is the RT worthwhile enough to go to 30 FPS ?

 

[RPS37]

It’s really got its hooks in me now.
Honestly, this is how RDR2 and Elden Ring were supposed to go for me.

I have it uncapped on PS5. Less drops than on XSX.

 

[Makoto-Yuki]

I only got to play an hour yesterday but today I'm hopefully going to get a good few hours in. I can't wait to the weekend I'm gonna be up very early on Saturday and Sunday morning so I can play all day.

Those people on social media spoiling the game are pathetic. Get a fucking grip of yourselves. Go outside and let the air about you. I don't post on Reddit or Twitter but I'm going to be careful of what I click. And while I trust most people on here there are far too many new users for my liking so I'm disabling my PMs. I wouldn't put it past that lot to make accounts here or activate their old ones so the can spoil shit for us.

 

[Umbasaborne]

I don't know if anything is in the lake. They probably didn't go that far.

You cant “dive” like you can in shadow of the tomb raider or something. So, no, no mer people or squids to contend with

 

[PlayedStation]

Just learned to fly and purchased my first broom. This game is growing increasingly addictive. The combat gets better and better. It's hard for me to choose a favorite professor right now, but the flight class teacher I just met is pretty cool.

 

[Hawk269]

This is so fucking retarded I don't know where to begin.

Why doesn't he also return the money he earned to WB?

It is all about money for him/her/it or whatever. If he was that upset about the situation he would of refused to work on the game. But since they were paying him his principles are basically "paid off".

 

[ManaByte]

Played until my DS battery died.

 

[semiconscious]

. . .this being the world we live in (that Hunter S. Thompson smartly checked out of; god damn what he would have wrote about this age) I'm sure the writer of that tweet sees this as some noble act. The cynic in me says they're also full of shit on that end and are just using this to get an out for future work.

just when we need folks like him & frank zappa more than ever. damn! oh, well...

Did you make it to the title screen?

 

[SegaSnatcher]

 

[Krathoon]

I am not quite getting the hang of the gameplay. Still, I made it to the part where I got the book for Mr. Fig.

 

[diffusionx]

damn those devs must literally be wizards

 

[nikos]

Just had a boss encounter that was more satisfying to defeat than anything I've experienced in a From Software game.

 

[Krathoon]

What is cool is when you can use the ancient magic in the boss fights. L1 + R1. I transformed people into sheep and chickens.

I’m five hours in and just keep running around the castle doing sidequests.
I‘m hooked. Don’t even mind the frame drops and slightly annoying combat.

 

[Laieon]

I just finished day 1 and man, I'm hooked. Loving it so far, Hogwarts and Hogsmeade are gorgeous, the cast is great so far, and the combat/spell casting is pretty fun.

Spoiler

My favorite moment so far was probably Natty just talking about the school in Uganda. It was pretty cool to hear about a school outside of Europe. She's my favorite character so far.

 

[Krathoon]

The game likes to knock you down. Definite game mechanic.

 

[SegaSnatcher]

You peeps are hyping me. I can totally see myself just exploring the Castle for hours.

 

[D23]

Yall pls avoid reddit, twitter and youtube comments sections. Spoilers are everywhere. My goodness

 

[Krathoon]

For some reason the HDMI 2 input on my tv did not work. I had to plug the PS5 into HDMI 1 to get it to work. No idea what happened.

Someone just recently tried to spoiler in this thread. It was not a real big one. The mods got him.

Is that port 2.1 or older? Or something? If it is, might be your cable, when did you play your PS5 last on that port?

I played it yesterday. I had it on a HDMI switch. I will try putting it back on HDMI 2 as see if it works. It may have needed to reset or something.
I think I had this happen before.

Oh, hdmi switches and HDCP handshakes get sketchy, especially if the switch isn't super expensive.

Save your shekels for a proper AVR, you'll get superior audio and a HDMI switch in one.

I want to understand the mental logistics behind the people thinking that shock spoiling people on a game they just bought is somehow gonna help your cause

nah fam, its just gonna make us hate you even more lol

They realized they can't stop people from being sane, so they are going to try to ruin their enjoyment of hte product. Limp dick losers, the lot of them.

I’m not gonna say it’s better than ER

but it’s better than ER

 

[Liquid_015]

Just unlocked talents and flying. This game is starting to be pretty fuckin' good. I wish I had more slots for gear.

 

[Salz01]

On PS 5 fidelity unlocked, it judders inconsistently. I hope they fix it. Game is legit good. I hope they keep supporting it with new content.

Do those Merlin puzzles to unlock more slots

 

[sendit]

Tons of love was poured in to this game.

 

[Dr. Claus]

Yep! Exploring this world is so fun and makes me feel like a kid, dreaming that Hogwarts was real.

 

[Krathoon]

It looks like I will unlock herbology and potions next.
I really need to make my own potions. I need heal potions.

 

[Thebonehead]

Does anyone else feel like the colour palette used on this feels washed out?

Outside especially, but the same inside to a certain extent.

 

[BackBackPunch]

Really enjoying the game, but the enemy target locking is borked (click R3, ps5) . Especially in the first few duels… totally bugged out. Won’t turn on and off reliably, won’t switch targets reliably. It occasionally even locks onto the pendulum in the room instead of the other duelers. Hope they fix it in a patch soon

 

[ajanke]

How the fuck can I grow shit? My station only lets me plant one thing and the seeds I bought aren’t able to be planted? Weird.

 

[apowhungo]

this fucking guy films his tv to show different frame rates?

 

[El Pistolero]

Having read most of your opinione here, I am left with the impression that the reviews would have been even more positive, had the controversy not engulfed the entire scene?

 

[Liquid_015]

Yessir. Gotta do more exploring haha

 

[Krathoon]

Yessir. Gotta do more exploring haha

It is funny how the other students are not solving this stuff. The 5th year is getting all the fun.

 

[HotSauceEnema]

This is a new one. Boycott something you worked on.

these people are always so fucking weird

 

[Krathoon]

I like how the ancient magic is unpredictable. It is like a one shot kill.

 

[Kindela]

This is a new one. Boycott something you worked on.

Boycotting a game just because it has a trans character? I mean, I am not woke or anything, but that seems a bit much.

 

[SegaSnatcher]

Seems like it. I mean look at the user score on Metacritic.
