And the WAY better frame-rate.

DD on last-gen is commonly sub-20 FPS.

Admittedly it has been a while since I played the game, but I don't recall having any performance issues when playing it on the xbox 360.

Nor do I.

It's 30 frames per second normally anyways, the occasional dip won't he very noticeable, if at all. The PS3 had the real performance issues, if memory serves.

Unfortunately, performance was fairly spotty. Screen tearing was quite abundant due to the engine trying to maintain a locked 60 FPS frame rate. Night time settings did help to achieve this frame rate but it would often drop to the lower 30s at times. Day time settings saw similar performance but the random frame drops continued. Odd as it may sound, whenever characters would move around, the 60 FPS frame rate seemed incredibly fluid. When things stopped, the frame rate seemed to drop down to the low 40s. We’re not quite sure why this was happening and could be attributed to sub-standard optimization in places. It’s still odd all the same.

Yeah thankfully I don't have it on PS3.

Now the only question is if it's best to stay a mage or eventually become a sorcerer. I never got far enough before to where I could change vocations

Sorcerer should get access to better spells.

Or you can try mage knight, or whatever it's called.

Just remember to pick your pawns to fill in weak points. In your case, I'd roll warriors, fighters, assassins maybe. Anything to aggro them while you nuke them.

Mystic Knight.

Yeah I'll probably become a sorcerer.

And yeah I plan to have pawns that are warriors and fighters.

Been playing Final Fantasy X remaster on the switch.

I found my copy of "Kingdom Hearts 1.5 remix" for PS3. It comes with 2 games Kingdom Hearts Final Mix and Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories.

But still I'm gonna begin playing Dragon's Dogma tonight

Never did finish the PS2 original of the second game.

Also never beat Sephiroth in the first. In fact the only optional boss I beat was Ice Giant.

KH2 is awesome. There is even a Tron level.

Seph is a bonus boss in both games and always incredibly difficult. Much harder than the final boss.

I haven't had a chance to play KH 3 though, I'm not sure if he is in that game too.

PS3 did perform noticeably worse.

Here's a delivery quest! Now remember not to ride the stagways or get hit.

Me: You never said not to use a Dream portal, mwahaha.

*Flower destroyed*

Me: Well, at least I didn't save the game on a bench first.

Oh yeah, we forgot to mention we save progress with the portals too.

Oh, **** off, game!

Doom 2016.

Cyberdemon was easier then expected. So was the next three waves of demons.

I think maybe playing Hollow Knight leveled up my general reaction and environmental awareness skills.

I found Doom Eternal much harder than Doom 2016.

I played it on console (my PC is too old)...and I had to push the difficulty level to Easy after the first 2-3 levels...it's just gets crazy and the game requires pinpoint precision which is hard with a controller.

Also, I didn't find it fun getting destroyed 5-6 times in a row...and while it has an extra life system (very neat by the way)...i lost all of them in one battle and it drove me nuts (can't save scum them back)

Yeah, it was pretty clear they saw mods like Brutal Doom, Project Brutality, Complex Doom, and idiotically decided to make an official game with that kind of difficulty.

Once I turned the difficulty back to a lower setting, the game became much more fun. You still have to be careful but you didn't gang raped by a group of enemies.

There is a side activity that unlocks an alternate BFG and those situations were ****ing brutal (made sense considering it's an unlock) but even on Easy, I was barely making it past.

I understand some people love games that are difficult but I like it when games are expertly balanced between challenging yet fun...without being ****ing annoying.

Rocket League is Free to Play I see.

Do I want to play it? Surely, there's a catch?

Nope, it's Free as in free, How hard is that for you to understand.

Free to play pay to win.
