With the Paypal thing do you have to have an account or can you just pay via it and not set one up? Dont think I have an account, let alone one that has card/bank details

ps3ud0 :cool:

Need an account i think as it saves the voucher to it so when you purchase you get the deal.

I did that and got £50 on PSN for £40 so all in all £40 for a digital copy isn't bad at all.

Thanks for that, I just did the same and cancelled my pre-order at amazon, I don't mind that it's a digital copy as I think this game will definitely be replayed loads.

After having completed dark souls 2, dark souls, I am desperately trying to finish demon's souls before this is released, I am most of the way through but still have a few bosses left and 1 complete level!!
 
Hands up if you've done one of the following:

- Thrown your controller
- Cursed
- Threatened to split the disk in two
- Made a pledge not to purchase the inevitable sequel down the line
- Any other act of rage I've failed to mention
 
Havent started yet but I expect many swear words by late tonight lol. I think the load times are going to annoy me more than anything lol.

Not started yet but i can already tell the 40second loads will serve to either calm me down, or anger me further from what got me there in the first place :D

Tbh i would say ive never got angry at any game including the souls series. Most times i realise it was my mistake but im sure there have been a few close shaves. First time through Sens fortress for example ;)

Simple question:

I have only played Demons Souls on PS3, I reached one of the last bosses, but went back in the game to grind as he made mincemeat of me :) Then the PS4 came along and I haven't turned on the PS3 since (I'm too lazy to swap back even though I have some unfinished games on it!)

I liked the game a lot and found the difficulty just right. I also liked the grinding to improve stats/weapons etc (in the sense you can go back in the game in a free roam kind of way).

Will I enjoy this? Should I pick up Dark Souls (I think 2 is on the PS4) first?
(Or will they just drop the digital price of GTAV in a PSN sale and I can buy that instead :D )

Tempted by this game. Never played Dark souls and I've heard they're pretty challenging games which is right up my alley. Need something to keep me occupied until MK:X is released.

Almost pre-ordered it but thought I'd wait for reviews because I suspected it'd have performance issues and...yep...performance issues. Now they've announced a patch to improve performance so I feel like I should wait until that comes out...but how long is that going to be? Could be a month or more. Ugh. What is it with games being released broken and unfinished these days.

I'm also concerned about the fact that it's 30fps. This seems like exactly the kind of game where you want fluid gameplay and responsive controls...yet it's 30fps. Every 30fps game I've played on PS4 has horribly delayed controls.
 
What performance issues? I've been watching loads of people play and their only gripe is load times..

Even being 30fps they are saying it's real fluid.
 
What's the deal with buying from US PSN store now? Amazon US blocked my CC this time, seems like a common problem (have used it in the past no problem)

Eurogamer df mentioned frame pacing...

Its like this..

22 33 44 55 is a solid 30 fps

Bloodborne is

22 333 4 555 etc..its not fluid. It Stutter's. But its 30 fps but the stutter means it feels likes its dropping frames..

Pc gamers suffer micro stutter in two card setup as well, it'd be due the the next frame not presenting or presenting before the frame its proceeding. Its odd but a few ps4 games suffer it.

Seems screen tearing is reducing in this gen. Stutter is the new issue..

Sooner free sync or g sync hits main stream tvs the better... No need for v sync and sync to refresh rates. Reason 60 fps is the holy grail of most gamers. To hit fluid 60 hz sync.

I understand all of that, just saying from what i've seen and what streamers and reviewers have been saying it's not that big a problem. I know how it all works but like said anything that is even a small issue performance wise will be getting patched along with better loading times.

Oh sorry mate. I wasn't trying to teach you to suck eggs . understand now, ok well its a big deal for some, not for others.

It'll get patched as you said. As they are working on fixing the reported issues.
 
Its a lot more fluid than dark souls, definetly faster... I've had to turn it off before my brain implodes. The second boss is a right *******. Every time I died I knew it was my fault, I've been so close, but I need fresh eyes. The game is outstanding. Its also very very hard :)
 
Can someone clarify the coop play for me? The reviews don't go into detail. You ring a bell and your mate can join?

Can you play the whole game with coop?
If you join a friends game is the progress saved?

Thanks
