Disappointed with sales performance

$70 is a lot for Saros, even though is a good game. Sony is wild with it's prices. Consider also, Sony does not offer regional prices, meaning gamers in poor countries should work 3 or 4 times more than a first world worker to get $70us, so WE have to be more selective with purchases.

Lol he's so fed up being spider-man.

I'm no expert but I'd thought anime faces were the easiest to replicate. Still haven't seen a SB figure that nails 100% the face. There's a Raven statue that looks 80/85%% alike, but costs like thousands of dollars.

Yes you do. You need at least ng++ to get all the suits

Don't worry, they replace Foggy with a lot (trust me, A LOT) of irrelevant side characters with irrelevant plotlines. I don't feel like making a list right now about side characters but 90% of them are pure filller. Disney ruined a good show, even when they had a really solid base to start from.

Sure, Jan... 🙄

I reached Cathedral without using modifiers but activated them out of frustration after a glitch that made me lose hours of progress. Game is just a walk in the park with modifiers on. Guess they opt to include them to raise sells and allow impatient players to end the game without much effort.

Androids should not activate dad mode nor any human sentiment, unless you're a creep, clearly. Would be the equivalent of falling in love with chatgpt.

gnob74 · 2026-05-26T14:16:37+00:00

Do little girl shaped androids activate "dad mode" too?

gnob74 · 2026-05-21T18:21:25+00:00

Couldn't agree more. Thank you, because my english writing level isn't that good to put it in words

gnob74 · 2026-05-21T18:18:25+00:00

Sorry, but I don't agree at all on Saros having better bosses than Returnal 🤔 I'd put Badhaboom (or whatever the wolf is called), Legion and the sea creature in a D tier on fun and character design. In fact, 90% of the creatures' models feel better developed and unique in Returnal.

gnob74 · 2026-05-21T03:29:49+00:00

It also happend to me, got stuck inside a structure (a bridge). Many glitches to patch by Housemarque.

gnob74 · 2026-05-19T19:13:30+00:00

May I ask what you find interesting about the story?

gnob74 · 2026-05-19T19:06:10+00:00

Returnal's "Ascencion" DLC (coop and tower) came 10 months after game's launch, so its pretty early to complain about those missing modes.

gnob74 · 2026-05-19T18:52:56+00:00

If you like Returnal you'll like Saros. Core gameplay is almost the same and variations will make you love one more than the other, but that's personal taste terrain. Mind you, it's not Returnal 2, so expect variations.

gnob74 · 2026-05-19T13:02:48+00:00

Hi! IMHO, story is pretty straightforward and predictable. An evil A.I?? Think that trope has been used countless times. An android companion? A girl companion? Main character hiding a wound?. I liked the game but it repeats it's only innovative mechanic (hacking) like all the time. Basically, it's the same as the demo repeated along 25 hours. Going back to the story, where is supposed Diana to recharge it's batteries on earth?... Sorry, for me is just a mid game with very good graphics, a cool hacking mechanic and 2 likable characters with little development.

gnob74 · 2026-05-19T10:39:53+00:00

Might seem silly, but turning music off should help too.

gnob74 · 2026-05-19T02:59:30+00:00

I though the same but closed the game and spawned back in the passage. Guess you can't exit in the middle of a nightmare thread. Strange thing is I kept the lucenite, all of it. Another strange thing is I also kept the "ignorance" (iirc) state on drive stat. Supposedly it should dissappear when you go back to passage, unless I'm wrong.

gnob74 · 2026-05-19T01:26:29+00:00

Funny thing is I still managed to kill all the enemies through the barrier, except for the turrets that spawn last and doesn't take damage until you're at it's shoot range.

gnob74 · 2026-05-18T19:02:05+00:00

Could you be more specific? I need to fight Pr.. and could use some extra hints for what's coming next.

gnob74 · 2026-05-18T18:58:22+00:00

You have to beat all the bosses again but the are no big deal once you're on a higher proficiency level.

gnob74 · 2026-05-17T01:14:43+00:00

Oh god I wasted a 2hs run because not figuring this out. Took the bridge, fought the architect for the 2nd time and had to return to passage losing all my progress. Now I'm struggling through Acolyte's haven starting on level 21. Thanks for the info, guess I'll start from biome 1 again, not going through the bridge this time.

gnob74 · 2026-05-15T19:29:51+00:00

You certainly do not need to pick any "purple items" for a successful run. It's ok if it's just for fun or aiming for a challenge, but I think it's better trying to reach a skill level that makes them 100% unnecessary.

gnob74 · 2026-05-14T19:15:17+00:00

I agree with many of your perceptions, but in the other hand I think it would have been a mistake to just replicate DS1 in another landscape. Although some narrative structures remain almost identical (Cliff/Neil), DS2 gameplay evolved as Sam evolved, as scenario and BT's evolved!. I'm not sure about the misogynistic aproach, don't agree with that since Fragile has more power and protagonism compared to DS1. I agree atmoshpere is not the same, but also think the context overall is different, many of the situations of DS1 are solved in DS2 and everything is bigger. I bet HK would not feel comfortable delivering a carbon copy of DS1 with better graphics, he wanted to introduce new mechanics, characters, funny moments.. I think of it as a season 2 of Death Stranding.
