Elden ring first boss

Spoiler

After getting wrecked by Margit and realizing this game isn’t going to be straight up about combat and “gitting gud” imo, I went out in the open world and did a bunch of stuff. Wound up accidentally over-leveling my summons and those wolves chewed him the f up. Felt like I cheesed him to death and it was pretty unsatisfying. Going to make sure next boss to try it in the order of solo —> unleveled jellyfish —> where ma dogs at. Depending on how stuck I am.

They wolves dug in his ***

Even worse with the jellyfish

Reading made me realized that I have haven’t tried any of the ashes of war

Gettin that 4k tv today. 43 inch for sitting I guess 6-8 ft away. I tried a 60 inch before and I had to give it to my fam. Was getting headaches. Might return and get a 50

I just read there’s not much of a point in a 40 something inch 4K lol smh

 

[you go boy]

I got a 75in for my living room.... at first I thought it was a bit much but got used to it... I think it helps I'm near sighted lol...haven't tried gaming on it though...

 

[slaughterx]

Yeah 43 inch at 6+ feet away... might as well be 1080. Go for a 55

Another PS4 vs PS5 comparison...

Really close.

To the naked eye you probably couldn't tell them apart. Dare I say, Poly didn't do the PS5 version justice over the PS4?

Smaller tv’s and monitors for gaming >>>>>

Size of the room matters too but generally bigger tv’s just feel slower

Not gonna get the full picture from a 1080p youtube compressed video.

I'm sure PD maxed it out, but it's a cross-gen game. Can only do so much.

And don't forget those load times.

Almost TV review season. That being said, last year TVs are still holding up well. Love the fact that both LG and Sony have 4 OLED models starting from 42 inches.
Black Friday will be good this year.

Really close.

Don't forget PS5 is native 4K. PS4 will likely be 1080p so it will look a lot softer.
We definitely need a 1440p or 1800p mode with ray tracing in game though if possible.

Ayyye, LFG!!!

Shout out to the reddit gang for showing me how to reduce my multi-month wait to 72hrs!

EDIT: TRACKING RECEIVED

From what I've seen, I think the main benefits are loadtimes, native 4K and Ray Tracing. I also think YouTube hides a lot of the details on the PS5 version. I suppose if you're playing it on a proper TV, the differences will be more noticeable.

Amazing graphics are cool and all but the gameplay is what wins hearts.

If GT7 looks exactly like GT Sport, I wouldn't be bothered in the least. I'm after all of the dimensions of gameplay....

When you see it...

I want to get Gran Turismo but I don't have a wheel.

Is it still playable with a controller?

Definitely. I imagine a majority of the ppl will be using a controller. Plus I hear the haptics are amazing. I have a wheel, but when I use a controller, I prefer using the motion sensor to steer.

Any build advice for ER? I was thinking to be basic and just dump points into vitality, endurance, and strength for the most part. But that said my only build experience is BB because Sekiro was straightforward. So I don’t know what I might want to invest in for down the line. Since being a one trick pony could come back to bite me.

 

[stay lurkin]

Yeah especially when you get invaded by the goons.

 

[you go boy]

You need internet connection to play majority of GT7... I know most of y'all have PSN but if you don't just an fyi...
