Really not liking the overworld. It feels sooooooo small. So condensed. You run into one small group of enemies and suddenly 3 other small groups of enemies appear, and then some massive monster with 4 health bars all while youre trapped in a canyon. the pawns are also dumb as crap. The run away and climb on things for no reason and take forever to drop down to engage in a fight below them. If the terrain is not flat they are worthless.

Im doing what I planned and making myself mage/support. Not sure I like the mechanic where max HP is lost whenever a hit is taken. had my first crash in the morgue of Vernworth. Speaking of which, did anyone revive the pawn that escaped with you at the beginning? I wonder if too many nights passed and I missed my chance. does this mean you have dual DRM running in the game now? lol

I think some of the concern with ES6 is it doesn’t feel like BGS is evolving or improving. It feels like they are still making early 2000s games. Quest design, NPCs, a world so obviously broken up into tiny maps. The shooting feel of weapons is probably the biggest improvement BGS made with Starfield and it’s the one thing we all know will not be in ES6. if all you want from ES6 is a prettier Skyrim, then that is fine. Anyone hoping for a title worthy of being a modern day AAA title, I think they are going to be disappointed.

I didn’t feel the last mission was thrown together, but it felt like every other quest line was, and hastily. The whole game felt like it was built in pieces with little regard for how they would all fit together until near the end of development. As if nobody, even the team leads and their leadership were talking to each other.

That’s console life. You’re often lucky if you even get brightness settings.

FIA, FOM and team principals all seem sus. This all seems wholly political where it’s all a series of corruption, greed, power grabs. Yeah I don’t remember any Williams crashes in the first 2 races, which makes me wonder if either had crashed then we could have seen this even earlier in the season.

lol right after that decision a lawsuit is announced against the FIA by Susie Wolfe. F1 really wants to get thus guy to resign. Interesting that Williams benches Logan Seargent due to a lack of parts to repair Albon’s car. Ferrari and specifically Leclere fans are very excited. lol Maybe they’re right and he can win, but I think they’re just setting themselves up for heartbreak.

it also has Denuvo which has pissed people off and you can’t just delete your character and start a new one.

The graphics options has a max frame rate option, so you do not need to leave it uncapped.

I think Im gonna regret not creating a character and pawn earlier this week.

I am still quite early in the game. I miss the whistle. Aloy talks more but forgot how to to whistle. Booo. I really need this game to open the world up soon. lol This slow burn before the world opens up felt like it made more sense in Zero Dawn when we were all new to the world and mechanics. Game is definitely a looker. Everywhere looks like they packed even more detail into the world. 4k with everything on high and DLAA the game really pops. I tried with frame gen turned on, but it looked a little janky, like vertical blinds, so I turned it off. Game stays above 60fps anyways. I do not like the underwater controls and in tight spaces they feel even worse. still, feels good to be back and exploring this world again.

Pfff. Took 7 minutes for the install button to become available. Unacceptable. 3/10

well there ya go @best3444 console experience gonna be sub par either way, but PS5 version is just slightly less sub par in all areas.

It’s also interesting that IGN didn’t mention VRR on series X if it helped the feel of the game to smooth out those dips. Whether it felt like it did anything or you couldn’t tell at all. But in their video it appears the PS5 looks better than the series X. Though maybe they have the same Tv Best does.

@best3444

Don’t worry buddy, no one can tell. lol god, like wtf were they doing for all those years?

Yep. I warned in the Mr and Mrs Smith thread that they wouldn’t stay unobtrusive. I didn’t think they’d expand this fast though. Jfc

Im a little sad the visual difference on higher settings is not greater compared to the PS5. As nothing new was added visually, like ray tracing. Still, I am glad to see it is a very great experience all the same.

maybe he’s a freak and likes the left analog stick in the wrong location.

yeah I think that’s what the download manager was showing me last night. So maybe it needs 150GB before post install cleanup.

yeah but it unpacks to be larger when it is done. I dont think it was 150GB though. Maybe it just needed that before cleanup after the install.

Yep. “Nothing to see here” Ben Sulayem cleared of wrongdoing after FIA investigation US.MOTORSPORT.COM I didn’t expect there would be anything.

Honestly, hearing the game is 30-40 hours sounds perfect to me. That makes more interested hearing that this wasn't made to be a 120+ hour game.

what about this decade? more importantly the vrr to smooth out the frame drops so it is less noticeable.
