How do you downsample on it? DSR is on but resolutions higher than 1080 aren't showing.

It's possible you might have to set your desktop resolution to the resolution you want to play the game at?

I'm not really sure what people were expecting either. Why people thought this would be like a $30 game to hate the price or complain about common things that have been a thing of musou games since they existed or the other stuff I just don't get. Add on top of that the need of people who were clearly never interested/going to buy this game to make sure they say that they lost a sale over X element that was never not going to be like they wanted or thought it should be like dark souls which has combat that could not be more polar opposite to what Berserk is like. Oh well.

Does the PC version of this at least function? Like, does it have random fucking crashes / graphical glitches / fucked up shit like other T-K games?

Showed up out of nowhere and I can't see anyone but dedicated Berserk fans getting this for this price. I got the game AND the fucking DLC. LOOOOOVVVVVEEEE me some Berserk.
I mean, it is pretty easy, there's not a lot of depth, and I know how the story is going to proceed, but I'm just super glad to have a Berserk game released in the West that people have a chance of playing.

So, it's still not a good PC port from KT?
Steam reviews is showing very positive though.

Best Buy was suppose to fucking get my copy to me today, but it has been stuck several states above me for the past 18 hours. Hasn't moved. Release day delivery my ass.
Most of the Musou games do that, prompts you when you first start if you want to play on Easy. Honestly, Easy is the best way to play them too as they're very repetitive and higher difficulty only makes it more so. I believe most Musou games don't even have difficulty trophies.

Literally the worst.

From what I read is like the Arslan port. Actually nice, but some performance issues.

I went in expecting to hate the game, but it's a lot of fun. I'm not going to lie and say it's the best game that's ever graced the PS4, but it's a nice break from more "technical" games. Sometimes it's nice to just sit back, have a beer, mash some buttons, and cut some dudes in half. If you enjoy Berserk and/or Musou, I'd recommend it.

I've only played a few missions, but you unlock Free Play and something called Endless Eclipse upon beating the first mission. I think Endless Eclipse is some kind of survivor mode?
There are generic blood splatters when you hit enemies, but when you enter Frenzy mode, you start chopping stuff in half. I also bought the PC version, but it's still installing for me at the moment.

Dudes get shredded in Frenzy mode, tons of dismemberment
It's just not super apparent with everything going on, but look at the ground and you see limbs everywhere
Probably referring to the controversial Casca PTSD wet shirt DLC

It's the Casca DLC that caused a lot of controversy. There is, however, some DLC of her wearing Guts' shirt, which I think is a nice middle ground.
According to the wiki it looks like the Casca DLC, Warhorses DLC, and two additional scenarios are what's currently missing.

Would the story be a good introduction to Berserk actually? I was always kinda interested in the Manga, but never actually managed to read it.
fake edit: I would do a short OT but I do know nothing about Berserk
fake edit2: I updated the OT a little bit with more info from the video and an image, maybe a mod can chime in an rename the thread title - any suggestions?
late edit 3: asked a mod about title change and added some more bits!

Are the costumes DLC just costumes? I mean they don't add new movesets or any gameplay element like One Piece Pirate Warriors 3 DLC? If not I'm not gonna buy them.
I mean, the price on Steam is dear. £50 (£45 with 10% off) and 60 (54 with 10% off) is really fucking expensive for a PC game.
It doesn't matter that it costs a similar price to the console version, the markets are different and expectations are different. Here in the UK it's actually cheaper on PS4, laughably.
More over Tecmo Koei games have the issue of there being very little competition too. Other games usually have a lot of resellers so competition drives the price down, you don't get that with their games since they're sold at limited stores so you're stuck with RRP. Which by the way, no retail store charges RRP in the UK(which is why the PS4 version is cheaper).
I still bought it, but I COMPLETELY understand peoples complaints at the price. Tecmo Koei have been consistently pricing their PC ports at a ridiculous price. To add more salt into the wound the ports generally aren't that great anyway.
Through 6 hours of playtime it's mainly been performance issues. I had one problem where I got an endless loading screen, forcing me to do a quite long mission over again, but that's only happened once.
port is solid for me so far and on an ssd the game loads instantly into levels etc.
i love how when you hit a wall in game it gets slices in the strucxture etc quite a cool little added extra over previous warriors games. combat seems actually pretty fluid and im prefering it over recent dynasty warriors. i like the item enhancement system reminds me of the old dynasty warriors items but instead of having to farm hours for that +20 once you get one you like you can spend materials upgrading it.
this is from someone who was rank 6th on the leaderboard on dynasty warriors 8 on ps4 so ive spent plenty of hours with these games.
if your a fan of warriors games id happily say give it a shot seeing mobs splatter in front of you really adds to the overall combat of a warriors game.

Man, hitting Death Blows in the middle of a group of enemies feels so fucking good.
Played for a bit and I have to say I enjoy it quite a bit. Mindless fun. Guts feels really good to control and his swings feel right most importantly. Griffith was also fun but casca felt awful, doubt I'd use her again.
This really isn't a good intro to the story. It's very rushed and the game is obviously on a tight budget so anything outside the scenes taken straight from the movies aren't good.

I searched and couldn't find one but is there no official thread for this game? Anyway, has anyone else run into the NP-32136-5 error "Can't Sync Trophies"? I unlocked two trophies last night and for whatever reason it will not sync them to the server. I did a google search and apparently other people are having the same issue?

Japanese version it is then.
Here in Portugal I don't see stores getting any stock.
Maybe it will pop up on the 24th?
EU release is Friday I thought.
This kinda is. I updated the OP a bit and asked a mod to rename it. On the other hand I could just repost it?
Controversal or not, we should still have gotten it. It's always shitty to lose content, no matter how questionable that content might be.

Does the Japanese PC version come with it? (doubt it).

I'm not saying I'm happy it got cut. I don't know what they think would happen. When people buy something Berserk related, they usually know what they're in for lol. There wouldn't be some huge backlash.

Problems detecting my TV resolutions, variable fps, weird crashes, no m+kb support. Honestly I'm done with Koei Tecmo, ended up refunding it, Atelier Sophie and Nights of Azure. After all this time they keep fucking PC releases so I can't deal with their shit anymore. Maybe when(if) Nioh comes I'll take a look at their releases again.

People have been really upset about the usage of Eclipse imagery in the game and its marketing, when in reality it's treating it with as much care and eroticism as the manga itself
It's super gross with context to have "preorder now for Casca wet shirt DLC" but it's coming from the manga that brings you "oops! Casca was clumsy and her shirt fell off
", as well as the like 19 pages of basically hentai depicting the eventsNoisepurge

i wonder what is his opinion of the first Fist of the North Star? I thought it was hideous but still found great enjoyment out of it and the intro cutscene always gets me pumped
Forgot this game had PS4 pro support.
Definitely runs at what I'm assuming to be 60fps on pro. The issue I see, however, is that it looks like a lot of the animations were captured at 30fps so the effect can look jarring sometimes. Play it and you'll see what I mean, it's definitely not dropped frames most of the time.
The menus are all in UHD. For some reason, 2160p fonts and art assets look really good.
Textures mostly look like shit. Characters use some form of cell shading, which I wasn't expecting but actually looks ok.
Gameplay is classic Musou but with the enhancements you see in some later titles. Basic loot/level up system in place to keep from getting too old. It serves its purpose.
Playing through Golden Age arc is beyond tedious because of how many times we've all been retold the same story over and over, which as you know is only a small chunk of Berserk lore.
Hoping that post GoldenAge content in this is actually substantial.

Griffith condones rape, the destruction of the planet, and feeds himself off the inhumane treatment of the greater populace. He is a card-carrying member of the GOP.
