Yeh right before Returnal I had just worn out Hades with probably well over a hundred hours of playtime.

I think going from Hades to Returnal hurt how I felt about Returnal. It was fun but the weapon variety and upgrades just felt too limited in comparison to other top tier Rogue-likes. Dead Cells being a great example of variety.

And having played Demon Souls before Returnal made me unimpressed with the graphics. Demon Souls was just beatiful and looked...

Funny that assassins creed used to be a "stealthier version of assassins creed".

I had read where someone else was saying that the HD texture pack was the culprit but hadn't tried removing it yet. Running a rtx 3080 and it looks beautiful and runs smooth as butter until suddenly and out of nowhere it plummets and it stays plummeted.

I was going to put the game on the backburner until they ironed out the garbage optimization but I'll give it another try after hearing about your results. I was definitely having fun with it and it looked a lot bett...

Yeh I remember how rewarding it felt finally getting Knight of the Round and using it on the foes. Good times.

Yeh there is no way there are 35 souls-like games that are worth playing. Very very few souls-like are actually even souls-like.

They just throw that term around if you die and lose something. The Souls games are unique and freaking great for a lot more than just that one detail.

I want Elden Ring more than any other game right now.

From's Soulsborne games just pull me into their worlds more than any other series.

I'd love to see them kick off some new IP exclusives, a reboot of Splinter Cell and definitely include Mercs vs. Spies.

The industry needs all 3 of the big ones (Sony, MS and Nintendo) to all continually shoot for the top spot and never let up. When all 3 are consistently pumping out great exclusives it'll be great for all of us.

Playstation is at the top as far as great and frequent exclusives. But I know MS has it in them to get their shit toget...

"great at, balance"

I agree with that but I also believe no souls clones come anywhere near the atmosphere, environments and enemy designs either.

The lies of P however does look at least so far to nail the atmosphere. And if the combat is as good and hopefully as deep as it looked in the trailer then soulsaborne might finally have some real competition for a first time.

The ray tracing in Guardians of the Galaxy on ultra is easily some of the best I've seen and with DLSS I still always get 60+ fps.

They certainly F'd up but at least they're coping to it and giving the untouched originals for free as a "we're really sorry" gesture.

They clearly know they really hurt their image as a dev you can count on.

I've been playing it on PC with everything maxed and imo it's graphically and stylistically one of the best looking games I've seen in a while.

I'm really surprised that I don't see anyone ever mention that being another high point of the game alongside the great writing. Maybe I'm just a sucker for the design and style of it.

I hope the success of the game pushes Square Enix to let Eidos Montreal pull Deus Ex out of the attic and ...

The irony that unpaying torrentors are playing it while the legitimate paying folks can't.

These classic games deserved so much more effort than the shit show that was spit out instead.

Yeh thats the positive I'm going with for missing it.

It KILLS me that I didn't see the Bandai email telling me to sign up for the tech test. By the time I saw it it was too late.

Going by the size of his gut it doesn't look like he has ever thrown one back.

And Famitsu gave the game a 9/8/9/8.

It's actually bad for the industry that people are paying that much for such a bare bones online system. It just tells them it's OK and very profitable to do less but sell more. Bad for buyers and good for sellers.

I played DOOM on pc with a friend in the 90s and I didn't have to pay anyone outside my phone company to do it. Nintendo's online system barely has more features than that and it was 30 years ago.

I worshipped Nintendo from NES ...

The last racing game I got attached to was burnout 3 I think but it's more about wrecking.

I think the last nothing-but-racing game I got into was RIIIIIIIDGE RAAAAACER!

Having to wait until the 9th for it to unlock with the PC gamepass stings a little. Really eager to play it.

Man I can't wait to play this again but at 60+ fps in 4k. My 3080 plus DLSS should run it beautifully.

Yes yes I know I'm being one of those people that has to brag about their video card but damnit I love it.
