Returnal (PS5 April 2021)

Cyko, sorry I missed your last text yesterday...
That game breaking patch....
https://www.polygon.com/22421791/returnal-patch-save-error-game-breaking-bug-update
I need to re download the game
I can fire it up, but the progress it lets you keep is borked. It's also spawning enemies that I've not seen in 25 runs that I can't even fight yet.

It does, which is really sad. The visuals, the combat, enemies, landscapes are just ridiculously amazing. Tough as hell, but you know that going in. I'm really hoping when I fire it back up later that the problems are resolved.
No worries dude. Figured you’d headed into the game after I showed you how to spank that boss like a petulant child 
Really is a BS situation with the patch. Like, it wasn’t just a minor thing that happened to a few people. Send it was fairly widespread.
Like Lazy said, unfortunate because the game itself - while ridiculously difficult - is a damn good time.

I haven't. This may sound silly, but after I have no idea how many deaths I think I'm "getting it" now. I tense up way too much, so I miss reloads, accientally hit f1 and use my consumable, that kind of stuff.
That last run at Phrike just got easy though, suddenly felt almost as comfortable as if I were in Nioh or a Souls game.
I'm a slow learner
but once I get it I'm usually good. 13 runs at Phrike btw. Even figured out the tree guys for quick kills. All melee wrecks them 
Edit: Have you run into the "Boss" that spawns in the optional chest areas sometimes? Looks like the big fire spitting guys, but has multiple attacks like rings of fire? He legit sucks. Haven't beat him yet.
I already have PTSD from the first two
3rd biome is messing me up bad. I just had to shut the game down for a bit. Dizzy, sweating, shaking hands. I think I'll be happy when this one is over and done with.
It's literally the most brutal game I've ever played. I've died 20 feet outside my front door
There is no "difficult but fair" here. The problem is that when you do progress, the game is so beautiful, and the play is so satisfying that I have to come back for more. Man...there is a freaking mini boss I haven't been able to beat, so I just run away now
I'm really glad I got it, but it just hurts so very much and so very good
Possibly knocked off 3-5 years of your life. Why though?I already have PTSD from the first two

I don't really either lol. I just needed something different than the usual soulsborne stuff I prefer and this seemed to fit the bill.
Plus perma death.
I'm not trying to convince anyone to buy the game. It's just completely different from anything I've played before, and it's an amazing game in it's own right. It goes way beyond simply spamming r1 and dying a lot. But like they say, different folks...to each their own.
