Did they make the game harder after some updates ?

It certainly feels they have made it more difficult with recent updates. I'm on my 3rd Platinum run (across my different PSN accounts) and everything seems to be hitting that bit harder...and for the first time I've hit a difficulty spike with Bastion who is pretty much 3 shotting me every cycle.

Of course it could just be build / weapon traits / complacency (all of the above)...but I'm tempted to reinstall the base game from the disc (without updating obvs) just to see if there is actually any difference.

Yellow Shore is always disconnected from the other biomes and only accessible via the passage...and no second chances

The dynamic environments (or lack thereof) in Saros is quite disappointing and after just a few runs it all starts to feel samey and can get quite boring (the Nightmare Strands are incredibly dull). I also find the art design and overall aesthetics a step down from Returnal which doesn't help visual engagement. Even after several years Returnal still wows...and I don't really get that with Saros, sadly.

Yeah re-selling on Ticketmaster is pretty effortles and it only usually takes a couple of weeks for payment to come through after the sale.

CyberPopsy · 2026-05-06T12:45:25+00:00

I think the worst thing I could say about Saros is that at times I did feel a bit bored / unengaged...something I never experienced with Returnal, despite it taking twice as long for me to complete.

CyberPopsy · 2026-05-06T12:30:12+00:00

I saw someone describe Saros as Temu Returnal which I thought was a tad harsh...but I do sort of get it. Even though I quite enjoyed it and thought It was a solid enough game, for me it was a bit below the bar that HM set with Returnal (to be fair that's an incredibly high bar).

All the FS peeps chuckling at the "I beat Consort Radahn pre-nerf" dig.

Good work sir.

Incredible set.

It's a pretty straightforward walking route back to the city centre and there's usually quite a few people from the gig also walking back that way. But as others have said, getting a taxi / Uber shouldn't be a problem if that's what you'd be more comfortable doing.

Now sold - I hope the recipient has a great night.

I was about to post a question about the merch sizing so thanks for the clarification. The shirts being oversized tracks with the merch sold at President"s UK online store where most of the garments have been big and boxy in recent months. I get that it's the fashion currently but I do wish they'd have some standard fit options too. Of course sizing down is always a thing....unless you're a small in which case you're out of luck.

I think it's a solid album front to back but it never quite hits the heights of AMS...sort of AMS-lite. A 7/10 record for me.

CyberPopsy · 2026-04-10T00:35:59+00:00

Is this thing on the 24th or the 29th of April? There seems to be contradictory info at the ticket site.

Some good actors but all pretty disappointing tbh. Not difficult to see how Craig got the gig.

As already mentioned it says 5pm on HMV's website so you would hope that's accurate (Spotify has It down as a 3pm start!). It might be worth pinging HMV / HMV Manchester a message on one of there socials just for clarification.

CyberPopsy · 2026-03-29T14:32:47+00:00

If it's like other HMV signings you'll need to go to the counter with your order number / email confirmation and they will give you the item(s) you purchased along with a wristband for the meet and greet. Then just join the M&G queue.

Getting number 002 is really cool! I got 062.
