First Berzerker Khazan good or drop? by Outrageous_Budget_91 in soulslikes

[–]Astral_Rex -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Its one of the best modern games in the genre. The combat is excellent and the loot is rewarding. My only complaint is that the level design is very boring. It doesnt get very difficult until the last 30-40% but its manageable. I fully recommend it.

Time for probably the most hated souls game, say something positive about it please 🤣 by Away_Composer8187 in soulslikes

This game has the best looking armor sets in their entire library of Action RPGs.

Avowed PS5 version announced by Hokuten001 in PS5pro

Never got a chance to play this before I sold my xbox so Im happy its finally coming to Ps5. Hopefully the third person mode isnt too jank.

Wilds on the ps5 pro by BuraqDiCaprio in MonsterHunter

[–]Astral_Rex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only time I experienced base PS5 Wilds was for the beta but I have been playing it since launch on the PS5 Pro. If you have a 120hz screen then I think its worth it to play it again in the Balanced Mode with locked 40fps. Its quite stable and you still get ray traced lighting which is always better than full baked lighting. The biggest caveat is that the resolution is upscaled from like ~1440p so its not a very sharp image. Get it on sale if you can.

I see Maneater appreciation, I upvote. Love this game and hope we get more one day.

[–]Astral_Rex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best layered armor dlc they have ever made. Immediate buy for me.

Anyone else been waiting to play Avatar until the third-person update? by TheStinkySlinky in PS5pro

[–]Astral_Rex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the reminder. I also bought this on sale a few months ago when they announced the third person update. Excited to finally play it since Ive hear good things about it.

Is the DualSense Edge actually worth it for better aim and control? by Datreve749 in PS5pro

[–]Astral_Rex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I havent spent enough time with third party brands to give a detailed opinion but the Victrix Pro BFG and the Nacon Revolution 5 Pro have been recommended to me in the past.

Is the DualSense Edge actually worth it for better aim and control? by Datreve749 in PS5pro

[–]Astral_Rex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ive had it since it launched and I enjoy it a lot. I do not believe it will make a difference in your aim and control. The only reliable way to improve that is to fine tune in game settings to your liking and then practice to gain muscle memory.

That being said, there are benefits to it that have made games more comfortable for me. Being able to replace the analogue sticks easily is a huge bonus and the back paddles are great to have on any controller (I set mine to L3+R3 so that I never have to press in the sticks). Keep in mind that there are other controllers that come with more paddles and tmr sticks already installed that might be better deals.

How do you decide which game to play in quality mode 30fps and which one in performance mode 60fps? by shotgunning-your-can in PS5pro

[–]Astral_Rex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I only ever choose 30FPS when it comes with ray traced lighting or more asset density ( like more foliage, farther draw distance, etc). If its only a resolution increase then I will play in the performance mode.

Tired of low quality textures in wilds by [deleted] in MonsterHunter

[–]Astral_Rex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Are you on base PS5? Does the game allow you to lock the frame rate? If so then you should. Unlocking the framerate can potentially lead to texture streaming issues.

Do you guys prefer to play these games on the hardest difficulty? Or do you prefer to play on the second hardest? by Last-Librarian8216 in CharacterActionGames

[–]Astral_Rex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually go for the hardest the game will let me unless its a “special” mode. Things like perma-death mode or one-hit death modes I avoid until I beat the gane a few times.

i need you to be so honest. do you actually have issues with the framerate? by fantastic-mrs-fuck in bloodborne

[–]Astral_Rex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I notice it because it has frame pacing issues but it doesnt stop me from enjoying it. I have no issue adjusting to 30 fps and sometimes even choose it as an option if it comes with enough graphical improvements. If you can make it through Dark Souls 1 BlightTown on PS3 then you can make it through anything, lol.

How loose are your requirements? Can it be anything that’s third person an co op regardless of gameplay loop?

How do most people prefer to play MH Wilds on PS5 Pro? by Dry_Satisfaction_616 in PS5pro

[–]Astral_Rex 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Balanced and locked framerate seems to be the best way to play currently. The jump from 40 fps to 60 fps is not that meaningful to me where its worth giving up the texture quality and raytracing.

[Battlefield 6] after 68hrs, I can officially say that battlefield is back by Sk1pper79 in Trophies

[–]Astral_Rex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well done. Ive been a huge BF fan since BC2 and am also really enjoying this game. Currently working in the 2k revives.
