@reap3r160: If I had the option, I would definitely get this on PC assuming it’s a good version. Given ID’s involvement I bet it is but I have no idea about Avalanche’s track record on the PC.

@merxworx01: So far they are nothing special. I’ve not even seen that many buildings you can go in outside of enemy outposts and a bar in the first trader town. I did find a few destroyed buildings and some abandoned houses but there wasn’t anything to find there that’s unique. Most of the stuff you find are supply crates that either have money in or an upgrade currency (there are a lot of different types).

@humanity: The one story mission I have done outside of the tutorial was fun and interesting but I have no idea if that holds up over the rest of the game.

@boozak: Again I’ve only done 2 story Missions in total so this could be very wrong overall but so far it kind of seems like Borderlands in tone. Where I’m at it’s not too much but I just hope they don’t try too hard if that makes sense? I apologise for not being able to think of any examples right now but some of the writing on the bounty descriptions made me roll my eyes a bit but it’s nothing too bad.

So far there isn’t too much enemy variety just your standard grunts and mutants. They do add in a lot of guys with armour that you have to break apart before you can kill them. I have also come across one really big enemy which was cool but it wasn’t mixed in with a bunch of other enemy types.

The A.I isn’t anything special but playing on hard you definitely have to use all the tools at your disposal to survive and it’s immensely satisfying. Headshots with the assault rifle feel particularly good and the shotgun feels great.

I know that ID said they helped with the combat and it definitely shows. It doesn’t feel as good as Doom 2016 (no game does really) but it’s close in my opinion.

Much to my surprise the game showed up today and what surprised me even more is that I couldn’t put it down once I started playing and ended up playing for around 9 hours.

I’m playing on the Xbox One X with the 13gb day one update installed and it runs really well.

I remember liking the first Rage but I haven’t played it since it came out so I don’t remember all that much about it. So far I think Rage 2 is better.

The guns feels really good and the powers feel great to use too. There’s a ton of stuff to upgrade so you’re always getting more powerful and I’m playing on hard which feels just right.

I have only explored 2 regions but there’s plenty of stuff to do in the world this time around. There are Arks to find which give you new powers, enemy outposts, bounty missions and more. In all my time playing I’ve actually only done 1 story mission outside of the tutorial so I can’t comment much on the narrative.

My only real complaints so far are that the in game menus are very laggy and there is a lot of pop in. The game can look pretty good in spots but it’s nothing spectacular. I’m sure the pc version will look much better. I’m just glad it runs at what seems to me as a completely stable 60, I’ve not noticed any drops but I’m not the most sensitive when it comes to frame rate.

I think it runs at 30 on the base consoles.

It has an fov slider which I thought was cool because it’s not something you see much of on console.

If anyone has any questions, I’d be happy to answer.

@boozak: The pricing is crazy! I usually try to go digital whenever I can but £60 is insanity. I found the game for £45 with a free steelbook which isn’t bad.

I’m so excited for this! Bloodborne is probably my game of the generation.

It’s a bummer about the performance difference between the Pro and X (since I ordered it on the X) but I’m not really sensitive to fluctuating frame rates so I doubt it will bother me too much. I just wish that From would give the option to run the game at 1080p so that the frame rate could actually run at a stable 60 or at the very least, let me lock the game at 30.

I’m just glad that the load times are brief because that’s what bothered me most about Bloodborne, not the frame rate.

I finished the game today and absolutely loved it overall. I think it might be the best in the series.

What does everybody think of V? I like playing as him but I still don’t feel like I’ve really got a handle on him. Maybe I’m just missing something but a lot of the time it feels like attacks are too slow to start and I’ve really struggled to hit airborne enemies with the panther, even though I’m doing the combo that’s supposed to change if an enemy is airborne. I feel like it only works 50% of the time.

All that being said, it can be very satisfying when things go right and you chain finishing blows on enemies.

So what does everyone think of the game so far? I just finished mission 16 (I think) and it’s shaping up to be my favourite game in the franchise.

The game looks incredible, the animations are fantastic and it plays so well. I think that Cavalier (the bike) is my favourite weapon from any DMC game.

I only really have 2 very minor complaints so far; the ranking system isn’t very clear and there isn’t as much variety in the environments as I would have liked.

I’ve been waiting for a new Devil May Cry game for so long and I’m so glad it lived up to my expectations! I’m also really glad that it doesn’t feel like half a game in the way that 4 did.

I’m very much looking forward to beating the game on the many difficulty levels.

@jacksmedulla: Thanks for saving me money, buddy!
