I am currently using an older IPS at 60hz, it looks incredible and in cinematic games I wouldn't want to use anything else, but I have got into FPS's far more recently. I am finding the experience a little jarring which I thought I wouldn't (I convinced myself 60FPS was more than enough as to get a beautiful looking IPS) and I am looking for an alternate monitor to use that is higher Hz with low refresh rate and input lag etc.

I am not sure about the pros and cons of TN against VA so a crash course and some of the more popular choices in that price range (bearing in mind that is pound sterling not dollars) would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: I apologise if this is in the wrong place, forum has changed quite a bit since I last visited and this seemed the best fitting section.

I had played Demon Souls on the PS3 but by the time Dark Souls was out I had sold my PS3. So I waited to see if they would release it for PS4 along with the second game but no luck. I don't want to play the second without playing the first and the third is out soonish!

Is there any news on a release for PS4 or what?

Cheers

Don't read unless you have played the game through or are curious.

I was a huge fan of Demon Souls and constantly had to ask on this site (they had a forum specifically to help with the game) on how to get through it.

So here are a few points I love about the game:

1) You can miss things and not even know it. An example would be the Amgydala boss I never even came close to fighting until I looked at a list of bosses online and realised I had missed maybe 4. Another example would be that I never helped Eileen after the first contact and found she was hostile in the Cathedral . . . I talked to a mate and he had a completely different scenario where she was dying on a step. Also the fact I did Alfred's quest story and my friend didn't even know who Alfred was! It is fantastic that so many items and bosses/quests are optional and you could miss without knowing. You can't help but think about what you missed or what would be different and you go back to see.

2) I love the feel of not being safe, you can't run in, die, then pick up where you left. You have to be careful but there is also always a sbortcut once you make it near a boss so you just need to look for it. Also you can just run past almost every non boss enemy if you wish and you are tired of trying, but you may miss cool items.

3) The tension and frustration I did not mind, once you get the hang of a souls/From game you don't die too often, it is difficult but fair in what it asks of you. You have to take your time with bosses and be patient. Rom the Spider did my head in as I was rushing and his one hit attack where he rolls on his side and shoots up at you was getting me everytime, but when I finally slowed down I did it . . . Albeit with 0 blood vials, 0 bullets and literally the minimum health you could have left.

4) The gothic medevil fantasy is my cup of tea, draws you in, makes you uncomforatable while you are still stunned by your surroundings, everything about it is perfect for me.

5) The fact the story is scattered, you could play the game and have little idea if you do not collect all the items and find all the NPCs or you miss the dead wife after the Gascoigne fight etc. Depending on how much you put into exploring, you get rewarded with more understanding of what is happening and why. (Also apparently if you go back after killing Gacoigne sometimes there is a hunter there waiting to kill you . . . Obviously I didn't do what was required to meet him and so never saw him, but he played a big part in the story as I checked afterwards to see he was a church hunter like Gascoigne and they were friends, just another thing you could completely miss)

I had to try reset my PS4 and internet as it had literally stopped, then when I started again it said 99+ hours and is just staying at 34.15mb . . . Everything else is working fine.

Any ideas?

@clone01:

Tried that but I was playing online in FIFA just as I noticed it had pretty much stopped.

My internet is working fine for everything except this download it seems.

Resetting wireless has done nothing

Ok, I bough the digital download of Bloodborne today and it was going pretty ok, not quick but in an hour I had got about half way. I started up another game and after an hour little had changed and the time remaining was 14 hours! So I switched off the game I was playing assuming that was the problem yet it still says 13 hours. What on earth has happened?

Any way I can speed this up because this is not even the online download, just the very first to get the game.

I am now at the level cap of 20 and I am definitely enjoying it more so than I had been.

I have still to complete the story as I mostly grind and slowly go through the game with mates.

I am finding it extremely difficult to get armour with high light value, what is a good way to get a lot of light quickly.

also i have just reached level 1 on vanguard reputation . . . what a load of work level 2 is going to be XD

Well looks like some others are having a similar experience.

I have to say it can be a good bit of fun when you have a couple of others and are in PvP, but at lvl 19 I have still not got a vanguard reputation which is annoying, and grinding that with friends is a bore.

It definitely seems to be a game where you have to look past repetition and just play it as a light hearted shooter.

Ok I am now on level 12, have some good guns but am mostly grinding kills and levels because its till tricky to do any further levels alone and no one i know personally has the game.

What would be the best way for me to level up quickly and get to the good armour and weapons?

@mastermetal777:

It was quite low, I have just unlocked a much better level 10 semi auto rifle and level 10 shotgun which is working well for me, still not near the level of some people but hopefully its not too long till i unlock some of the pulse rifles that have been one hit killing me.
