hey! I’ve been wanting to play this game for as long as it’s been out, but I figured I would wait until I finally buy a PS5 to get it, since to me the PS4 cannot handle it properly.
Has anyone played it on PS4 and can confirm/refute this please?

PS4 runs better than expected. It’s a little sluggish but definitely playable for sure, it’s not a downgraded/bad version of the game or anything. The game was basically made for PS4 and the PS5 version is just an upgraded version of a PS4 game.

To me, having played both versions on each console, PS5 running PS4 Pro version is definitely by far the best way to play, it’s essentially a locked 60FPS the entire game and runs perfectly. PS5 version has way more variable framerate and the difference graphically is negligible tbh. I actually prefer the way the PS4 version handles grass/nature, the PS5 version processes it differently and not exactly in a better way (IMO)

thank you for such a detailed answer! this is really reassuring, but what if my PS4 is not a Pro but just a regular one? It’s not the very first model but it’s not the latest either so to speak

Jesus christ I either feel like I'm underleveled for everywhere I go or there's a huge spike in difficulty post-Caelid
Some areas of Altus Plateau kick my ass, like the forest with the dudes spamming death blight. The Crucible Knights in Siofra Aqueduct killed me like 10 times already
Or I'm just playing like s*** today lmao

What's the best strength build?

I enjoy playing bleed, mostly use Eleonora's Poleblade, the Bloodhound's Fang and sometimes dual Bandit's Curved Swords (don't really feel them tho, I know they're the best weapon for bleed basically, but I just don't like the look and the playstyle), but I feel like I want to use great-shields and larger weapons, I enjoy parrying, guard countering, etc. more than just hacking and slashing that you do with most bleed builds.
So I wanna try a re-spec with strength. My friend told me strength + faith is decent, but what's the best?

have been doing a faith/dex build practically Cipher Pata + incantation only, but some of these late game bosses are completely invulnerable to holy dmg so i brought the Black Knife out to f*** em up

that AoW is brutal, and the slash dmg is a nice lil bonus. usually works on anything i can’t one-two shot with unblockable blade AoW
