[@mririshsolo338]

I absolutely loved Pathfinder and have played through it twice on the Ps4, played WotR last night and put in 8 hours, so far it has been amazing, my only concern is the slow movement speed in combat and even slower movement speed outside. How did you find that side of things?

[@christiangeekcentral]

It's fine so far. I liked the option to speed up movement in Pillars Of Eternity, though. Would be a nice feature during exploration in the Pathfinder games! -Paeter

[@glenferrieroadhawthorn]

how does it play on playstation? I heard there were game breaking bugs

[@mririshsolo338]

@@glenferrieroadhawthorn So now having played a good angel playthrough and an evil demon playthrough, i've easily put over 250hours into the game on the ps4, i came across a few bugs but absoultely nothing gamebreaking, EVER! And compared to the first game which even now will blue screen every 2hours i found WoTR was so much better, hardly any crashes at all. They have done an excellent job on this port.

[@Yoni123]

​@@mririshsolo338 how are the gamepad controls?

@@mririshsolo338 how do you stand the excruciatingly long loading times on PS4 though?

[@StevenSmith-mk5fg]

Haven't played the game on console as of yet but I've completed it on PC. It's just on overall more balanced game than Kingmaker and the Crusade system is fun. The kingdom management system in Kingmaker wasn't really completed which is why it felt disjointed and frustrating as you were put on an aggressive time limit.

[@christiangeekcentral]

Interesting to hear! I skipped kingdom management but might try the war/skirmish system in WoTR I've heard a little about. -Paeter

[@StevenSmith-mk5fg]

@@christiangeekcentral I recommend not skipping the Crusader system in WoTR mate. Not only is it genuinely fun and fleshes out Act III, you'll make a lot of gold that way as you can craft the relics and either use them for your party members or sell them. I tend to use some and sell others to invest more into the crusade e.g. more buildings/armies

[@christiangeekcentral]

@@StevenSmith-mk5fg Sounds good! It's a sort of tactics mini-game, right? Not always my cup of tea, especially if it gets complicated, but I'm definitely planning to give it a try! Thanks for the info! -Paeter

[@StevenSmith-mk5fg]

​@@christiangeekcentralYeah basically, you recruit units to create armies (via buying them or getting them by completing tasks similar to how you did with Kingmaker where it takes a few days) and you use these armies to travel the same map as your party and conqueror forts. This is also a good way to uncover the map lines for the path you move your party on as the army doesn't need to rest as such. It has a certain amount of movement points per 24 hour in-game time You can develop these forts by building buildings that give you all kinds of stuff like the logistics/army/diplomacy etc points needed to upgrade the forts along with buildings that give your units stats/different types of units. You can recruit generals that make your armies even stronger and they level up. There are mage/ranger/fighter type generals you can recruit. When you defeat some armies, you get relics (weapons/belts/headgear etc) and you can also get this in the management window if you chose to complete the relic assignments. You focus on upgrading the stats like Kingmaker ofc and decide what else you want to focus on Another killer tip for this game is the combat itself. Pets in this game can have teamwork feats and this makes them by far the most powerful choice. Because of the mythic path system, most classes can now get a pet. So you can have 3/4 dogs/wolfs which are the best pet imo. When they all have teamwork feats such as tandem trip/outflank, you can have the enemies fall allot while giving your party loads of attacks of opportunities. Even on Hard difficulty, an enemy is often dead the moment he moves into your group to attack one of your party members if you keep your group bunched together due to the teamwork feats and the amount of attacks of opportunity you get. In essence, it means a more balanced/fun combat experience where you can turn the difficulty up and enjoy the strategy

[@StevenSmith-mk5fg]

@@christiangeekcentral As an example, I can beat this game on hard with no dedicated tank and it's not that difficult. I DPS spec Seelah and have her mounted on a horse with the horse acting as the tank along with the pets

[@stevomasta1]

Does someone have any new information about the photo mode for consoles?

[@JWSoul]

We are very similar players. I'm a Turn Based player tho and Pillars of Eternity 2 is a master piece in Turn Based Mode IMO> I also play on PC exclusively for these types of games.

[@christiangeekcentral]

Nice! I actually finally bought Pillars 2 after trying it again through game pass last night. So cool to see that the issues I was having at launch have been patched and its seems much more to my liking now! Looking forward to diving in! -Paeter

[@joepeglegmorgan3015]

Hey how is POE 2 on ps4?is is done good for the controler?i love rpg and i just downloaded POE 2 cause its free on my subscription but im kinda scared that it wont play good Like on PC. Any advice?should i start playing it?

[@rp8164]

@joepeglegmorgan3015 POE2 on PS4 is great. One of my favourite isometric RPGs. It plays better in every way than POE, but POE is definitely worth playing first if you haven't played it.

[@Wazza25]

How u liking the new DLC class dude

[@christiangeekcentral]

Actually, despite loving my experience with the campaign, I haven't purchased any of the DLC yet! Any thoughts to share? -Paeter

[@YinGdaily]

I'm really thinking about getting this game is it similar to diablo 3 tho because that's what I'm more looking for

[@christiangeekcentral]

Definitely not. It is much more like Baldur's Gate or Pillars Of Eternity. Sorry. -Paeter

[@CNSninja]

Pathfinder: Kingmaker was one of the least accessible RPG's I've ever tried to play in my life. I'm a huge fan of PoE and especially Divinity, but Pathfinder: Kingmaker was so unbelievably frustrating to try and figure out. It felt literally inscrutable at times. It made me feel like a stupid child and that's not what I'd call a good time. I'm really hoping this one will be more intuitive and well designed than Kingmaker.

[@christiangeekcentral]

My guess is that will depend on the elements you found frustrating in Kingmaker, as the underlying rules and systems are largely the same. Although I suspect I avoid a number of frustrations because of the gameplay and difficulty options I select. -Paeter

[@marcuskane1040]

Game is trash - nothing more needs to be said

[@Particle_Ghost]

I agree. It's all about quality over quantity, this game is the definition of pain in the ass, it just tried to do too much. Pillers 1 & 2 and Divinity 1 & 2 are my top picks, and you can include Dragon Age Ogrins also. I thought Kingmaker was ok, but I hated everything about this game. Hated the puzzles, hated the story and writing, the controls felt even worse, hated the companions, hated the levels, everything just sucked, and chapter 5 was the definition of shit. The soundtrack was good though. Another thing I hated was the fact you couldn't take 5 steps without picking up 100 pieces of pointless loot.

[@zamwessel6129]

nah

[@JeanBaptisteEmanuelZorg]

it is terrible on consoles to bu sure, not to mention it uses Unity engine, bruuuuaaauuuaah!

[@dannyboylan5926]

Great review man! I've been back and forth on buying this game but I think I'm gonna pull the trigger next week and pick it up. Gonna take some time to understand it all but it seems worth it.

[@christiangeekcentral]

Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy it! -Paeter

[@chriswynne2546]

Thinking of getting it myself for ps5, how did you get on playing it, was it worth it ?

[@kschmeed]

On sale right now for PS for 12 bucks …. Might finally give this game a go… looks beautiful.

[@christiangeekcentral]

I saw that, too! And Kingmaker is 7.99, I think! (Or maybe that's the Xbox store?) -Paeter

[@teotron7913]

Did you get the game I have it but I can't figure out how to end turns I literally pressed every button on the controller

[@renatoszfr]

How did it go?

[@Dooood89]

Does it run at 60fps?

[@kschmeed]

Yep 👍

[@Lyriun]

As someone with a niche taste in games, which is mounted combat, I really want to like this game, since too few games have what I like, because players and developers are against mount combat for some illogical reason, but I can't stand being forced to use a cursor in battle on the PS4. Seriously? So many gameplay settings in the main menu but no option to turn off the cursor in battle and fight Dragon Age: Origins on console style? Is there gonna be an update that allows me to directly control my character in battle without the cursor, or do I have to send the developers a letter telling them that the cursor kinda ruins the experience? At least let me control the characters without the cursor in a fight in real-time mode.

[@christiangeekcentral]

Yeah, it's not a deal-breaker for me, but I can very much relate. I would GREATLY prefer a DA:O control scheme. That console experience might be my favorite "real-time-with-pause" rpg of all time. -Paeter

[@razial5745]

Debating if I should get this for PC or PS5

[@christiangeekcentral]

Wish I could be more helpful! I have no experience with the PC version. But at this point I have finished the campaign on my PS5 and can say that I really enjoyed the experience! Hope you do too! -Paeter

Does a guy have to build cities and stuff loke in kingmaker . In a game so big that kinda really kind just annyed me as welm as dealing with the positions u had to give the charactors and deal with all the problems

[@christiangeekcentral]

I haven't run into that yet. Instead, as I understand it, there is an army tactical skirmish minigame now and then, but I am almost certain you have the option to let the AI handle that automatically if you want, like the option you had in Kingmaker to let the AI handle kingdom management so you can't fail. -Paeter

[@michaelmackrill6917]

Boot the in game companions, lol....Yes sometimes I feel like doing that to ...but then you lose out on a lot of companion questing...And interlinked quests as well ......

[@christiangeekcentral]

That's true, and that has always kept me from booting them in the past. But I actually felt like Kingmaker ran a tad long for my tastes. And so I'm wagering I won't be missing much. And there's always the option of letting them join, but then booting them to the tavern until you actually want to do their quests. I will probably try something like that and just keep them for as long as they are useful to me. (The motto of a Neutral Evil party leader) -Paeter

[@michaelmackrill6917]

There are a lot of bugs on console....I find myself reporting bugs a lot......

[@MihaSith]

for fuck sake! we heard the first time that you HAVE ps5! you may put on medal!

[@christiangeekcentral]

Not sure where the anger here is coming from. I don't think of it as anything admirable or a mark of status to have a PS5 and I have actually advocated many times on the CGC podcast for people to wait on purchasing one, as I don't think its necessarily worth it yet for many consumers. However because of the numerous performance problems that Kingmaker had on the PS4, I thought it was important to be crystal clear that my review is based on how it runs on the PS5. So my intent in mentioning and emphasizing that is only to help PS4 users avoid potential frustration with the game on PS4. I hope you're feeling better today. Take care. -Paeter
