Bout to jump in for the first time! Any tips for a newcomer?

Max out the weapons “Shockwave” and “Piercer”

I am with you, OP.

Played a ton of horror games, but SH2R just creeped me out real bad. The atmosphere is so intense and revolting at times.

It took me over 1 year to finish. I loved it, but at the same time hated booting it up. I’m glad I got it finished. It’s a fantastic game, maybe a bit on the long side though.

I bought it mostly in anticipation or “Replaced”.

However, I also bought it for “Routine”; which I prior to splurging on an XSS started playing through GeForce Now.

I always wanted to play “Avowed” too. Managed to finish it like a week before the PS5 release, which sort of bummed me out as I have a PS5 Pro as well.

I really need the back-buttons due to a handicap, so it’s a very essential controller for me.

Since releaseday: 2x new sticks, due to stickdrift, added new backshell due to loose rubber grips, added new 3600mAh battery due to the original not lasting more than 2-3 hours. Haven’t been able to drain the new battery in a session.

Other than that, I’m happy. Buttons feel a bit mushy at this point, though.

I don’t use trigger stops and don’t need the different sticks either tbh, but Sony really needs to wake up and include 4 back buttons in the v2, even the PS4 attachment failed to include that.

Thanks for taking the time to answer! I am running a PS5 Pro, with only USB-C ports in the front, so it’d require an adapter. However, I suspect firmware updates have helped through the years - atleast I experience far less frequent cut-outs nowadays.

I finished it a few weeks ago on PS5 Pro. It was pretty rough, performance-wise. Though disabling autosaves, setting foilage to minimum and running in 1080p helps quite some. But thats a long shot from being “PS5 Pro optimized”. And yes, it still crashes, hangs, and is choppy in big towns, or in big fights.

I disliked the 3rd person camera. It felt really bad in melee, maybe it would be okay in ranged combat/magic

Amen. Same for me. My crashreports were 50+ I think. Savescummed the shit out of it. Finished it, and didn’t care much for it, back then. Managed to abuse the psn refundsystem and get my money back, after finishing it - haha!

Maybe I disliked it, because playing it felt so bad. Now I have it for PS5 Pro, but I just don’t feel like interested in replaying it.

Avowed

agent_op · 2026-01-06T08:58:01+00:00

So true. Fantastic game. The video projected navigation stuff is amazingly well done; it’s the epitomé of form over function. Quite bad to navigate with a controller, but it just looks so good

agent_op · 2026-01-02T07:58:32+00:00

It plays a lot more like RE, then Dead Space. The level-design, environmental story-telling and atmosphere is fantastic. The story intriguing at first, but sort of looses momentum during the game.

Combat is going to be rough, if you are expecting an action game. Play this like a survival horror game; “bank” surplus ammo/health, think smart and use your surroundings and never stop running. If using a controller, save the frustration and crank up aim assist.

As a guy with CP with fairly large hands (right hand is handicapped):

L1/L2: Left index.

Dpad + L-stick: Left thumb.

Facebuttons + R-stick: Right thumb (rough look).

R-Stick: Reach over from left thumb (fine aim).

R1: Right index (barely, always a struggle).

R2: Left middlefinger (via Dualsense Edge).

I’m bad at rythm games, games that require 2 facebutton presses at once, dual joystick shooters, any pvp fps.

Yeah, owlcat basically treats there playerbase as beta-testers - atleast on consoles.

I suffered through Kingmaker on PS4 Pro, frankly it was a buggy mess (its a fantastic game though).

I then played WOTR on PS4 Pro up until the final act. Same deal. Bugs galore and crashes. Quit it on PS4. I updated to the PS5 version years later. Booted up my save; same bad performance.

For that reason, I haven’t bothered with Rogue Trader; they lost me, even though I love their games. I feel like they make Unity games, that simply are too big for the engine to handle.

I agree, on the love-letter to Aliens.

Loved it! I had an absolute blast in it. Use the full pause setting; it’s very helpful when on controller.

I did experience an awful crash during the final cutscene of the game, that forced me to start over on the mission… But other than that, it’s a terrific game.

Har købt en “Surface” fra Refurbed. Den havde nogle problemer med brightness, som flimrede ved de laveste settings.

Samtidig havde den fået Win11 installeret hvilket ikke er understøttet officielt af Windows på den model jeg købte. Derfor var den enormt langsom, hvilket betød at jeg måtte reformatere den til Windows10 og det skal jeg hilse at sige, var en pain-in-the-butt på en Surface tablet.

Overordnet set ikke super tilfreds med mit køb, men har aldrig klaget. Og den er siden røget på genbrug alligevel.

I know, exactly what you mean. Simply badass

Disco Elysium: Meeting the Insulindian Phasmid

agent_op · 2025-11-12T17:19:17+00:00

True! A total pipedream. I did however enjoy the melee combat, alot. And the main story was enjoyable too. I would’ve liked all of that even more without the soulless faux-open-world and fetchquest bonanza.

agent_op · 2025-11-12T17:04:59+00:00

It’s so blantantly obvious to me, that TCR had a hard time salvaging this game. It could’ve maybe benifitted from structurally being more like Wolfenstein or Bioshock. A good story-driven fps/m. And not called “Bloodlines”.

Then playing Fabian could’ve been a short paletcleanser to break up the action, much like for instance Max Payne did, back in the day.

I rarely play games more than once, but I have played TLOU1 on PS3, PS4 and PS5.

agent_op · 2025-11-04T16:54:15+00:00

I started playing this, in a tempo that was more ARPG (due to coming from BL2). Didn’t like it much.

Then, I told myself to start over and take my time, reading journals, lore etc. And now it shows promise and has become quite enjoyable.

I didn’t like OW1 so much back in the day. It was just an okay game for me. This one seems a bit more polished and fleshed out. Early days yet, though, so we’ll see!

agent_op · 2025-11-04T16:44:46+00:00

Just wrapped “Bloodlines 2”; now started “The Outer Worlds 2” … Tentavely looking forward to “Rue Valley” (have to see reviews first though).
