I keep forgetting the names and what each requirement is. What is that?
They need a mirror. The Verge is mediocre.

so does it look great on ps5 in quality? I dont gaf about framerate soTHE ONLY WAY TO GO
Not at all true. I’m on quality because I want the most out these visuals and the framerate has been fine aside from a few hitches during non boss fights. It’s been a beautiful trip so far. Just cruisin along. 60fps need not apply to my kicking ass.

I think it does but it’s also still totally subjective depending on who you ask here

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
I like that this game doesn't seem to punish you for grinding - outside of it maybe making some of the content "too easy".
I'm having fun just beating up some of the baddies over and over again, respawning, taking them on again and again to level up and get a better feel for the move sets and heavy attack combos... but, I'm also now level 60 and still in chapter 3.

Dude man Chapter 3 deep in
I haven’t been so engaged with a game all year
the characters you meet, your koala bro helping with fights, the giant turtle that’s straight up GOW 2018. Just fucking insane. So on the GOTY list.

If I ever need to grind some additional xp to top off that spark point I go right to the Snake Trail in Chapter 1. It’s an especially great grind spot early on. Just gotta learn how to handle the non skeletal snake guys

Finish that stupid old dragon quest and you will unlock one of the hardest boss in the game. And the "koala" guy is a pig/boar lol

Yup
the area you unlock is super helpful. Won’t be fighting the blacksmith til end game proper.
And he’s a koala to me. He’s all small and he’s a prick. But cute and cuddly.

Finally done with chapter 3. Man that chapter was long. Lack of a map became a glaring issue in that chapter cause the areas were huge with samey looking trees and rocks everywhere, so it became hard to keep track on which areas you've explored already.
If you're talking about the tiger blacksmith then yeah. I tried to beat him like 20 times and got my ass handed to me. He has super armor, has very long combos which all have annoying wind up times, he teleports around and has an unblockable throw. It's like they took everything that makes a boss hard and made this guy.
After CH3 I upgraded my gear and after few tries finally managed to beat him. I mainly used Rock Solid and Immobilize, but he breaks out of immobilize from a single hit so I always did a 3 focus points heavy attack on him after immobilize. Also after CH3 you unlock a transformation which immediately freezes the enemy so that also helped a lot.

Just finished chapter 1 and wow! If this keeps up it could be my GotY. Just blown away. Aesthetics on point, smooth gameplay with many many options, level design reasonably open but not open world, gorgeous graphics and art design, through the roof production values and just so much fun.
Took me 7 hours to finish chapter 1 alone. Can't wait to play more.
Edit- badly needs a map though.

Looks like the folks at DF tore it up on the ps5 review, as it appears the devs spent most of the time optimizing for PC. Kind of a technical flop on ps5 from what I’ve seen (and no HDR to boot, apparently)

Yeah that tiger is super annoying especially that cheap ass throw and long ass combo. He just appear out of no where then grab me, there's no free window to evade that shit.
I spent around 30-40 deaths to beat him when I don't have that freezing monkey transformation. Maybe my level is too low, but the win was worth it. My monkey finally bested that cheap bastard lol.

I was on the fence too about this actually being a good game. Turns out, it is! A fun souls-like with some interesting new ideas and fantastic graphics. The game isn't very frustrating (I've literally played hundreds of hours of Souls games, and have yet to ever finish one because I usually quit from frustration / stop having fun). I guess time will tell if I make it to the end of this one, but so far it's been great. A few bosses have really kicked my ass, but leveling up and unlocking new skills and abilities has let me progress so far.
I just finished Chapter 3, on to Chapter 4!

Thanks , after looking at pics and videos , it looks real damn good ! I'll have to bite! Same I never finished a souls game , the only one I really played was Bloodborne , I loved it , I got far but when it becomes too hard I quit! Life is too short to be angry at a videogame, I play videogames to relax and enjoy!

As a cutscenes yes opening surpasses any God of War but not as a set piece as the gameplay aspect of the opening is just a basic boss fight

This is true. I played all games you mentioned, I beat FFXVI out of those and they fall short in nearly every area. FFXVI combat, gear and exploration isn't even half as good as what Wukong offers and FF is an established RPG franchise. Square with its expertise, funds and brand recognition can do better than this lifeless shit.
Horizon 2 and Spider Man 2 are the typical bloated open world games with tons of annoying banter, copy paste missions and almost zero challenge. I'd pick a game structered like Wukong over these by default.
Technically Wukong isn't perfect on PS5, some things could be improved but its very ambitious and still a looker. Mechanics, level design, challenge, skill systems, rewards for exploration, secrets etc all beat those formulaic recent AAA games to hell. Add Ragnarok to the list as well, with its endless forced walking, endless whining and copy paste puzzles. Again, i'd play classic GoW or Wukong over it in a heartbeat.
Bruh use the myst abilityLast night, I've spent 30 minutes just to cross a beam in Latria like dungeon. I truly hate that level in Demon Souls and they just have to brought it here

I've managed to cross it multiple times, but then I tunnel vision that archer for revenge, just to fall again because attack animation led me to the edge
This game ass fucks ff16 and I really liked ff16

Did everyone complete the secret Snow fox quest in ch. 3? Very cool stuff. The new transformation you can find in this area is dope too. I think this is near the end of the chapter now, I never use guides my first playthrough so hard to know for sure, can't wait to meet a certain someone I've been hearing so much about lol.

Thanks, will do that then.English voices are fantastic, on par with anything FROM has done
Cool that you can do the opening after only a five minute download, but now have to get the rest of the 100GB onto my PS5. Will check back in later!

How far are you? It’s wide linear. Chapter 1 is very straightforward, but the latter ones have more branching paths and you can tackle the different objectives and bossed in varying order. You have more freedom and the areas are much bigger and more opened.

Thankfully, it’s fairly short. The boss is a bitch though.

I did this one tonight and yeah, pretty cool for something that appears to be 100% optional.

Yea too bad you can’t increase the size of the font. The Chinese dubbing would be nice, but I feel like I’m missing whats going on on the screen.
Working on getting all the bosses in the area. I want to have lots of upgrades before moving onto another chapter. I want that Stellar Blade with all upgrades feeling.

The game has turned full-blown Soulsborne with the usual annoyances. Enemies are becoming insanely tanky, they deal fast and long combos with small windows to counter-attack, and they have high poise and attack through your combos.
I loved the game until then, but now it has almost all the hallmarks of Souls games. It's really starting to piss me off when regular mobs deal a shitton of damage and take 5-6 full combos to go down.

Yellowbrow... first of all beyond epic but being put in a position where I can't craft any new medicine or change my drink/soak isn't fun lol. I was actually feeling myself having steamrolled the first 2 phases. I know I can escape but don't want to do all that over again. now on attempt 12 lol.
Edit: got him, let's fucking go! Also, "seedsack"
Edit 2: chapter 3 ending cutscene was even more spectacular than ch. 2

Chapter 2 is huge. So many side quests and hidden things. The tiger boss kicked my ass but i went back after getting the clone spell and had an easier time. Then i saw someone using the resolute flow parrry on him and it made complete sense. Need to master that skill because now I’m stuck on the final boss of this chapter.
What a great game this turned out to be.

Loving the enemy theme in ch. 4, this game is so damn good, swiftly moving up my GOTY rankings, I'd say it's already in my top 3 of the year and I've bought and completed a whole bunch. I never expected it to be as good as it is, thoroughly impressed and the fact that this is the dev's debut title makes it all the more praise worthy, just wow.
