should i play it?

I cant see any scenario where i dont have ps plus

The problem with the game is the god awful story. Wish they could patch a new story into it

Hopefully there is a $100 version of this game that comes with the battle pass and some store currency

Anyone know the resolution difference between quality and performance if there is one?

@GirlVersusGame Interesting. Seems weird to omit a good soundtrack. I think the game could really benefit from quality ambient music

Does anyone else find the game weirdly silent? Seems absent of music

@ShadowRJ they're a corporation telling us they are no longer supporting a type of data storage format, not your parents telling you they're getting a divorce lmao

Honestly I was able to look past everything except the input lag. It is horrendous, idek how its like that

@tangyzesty I'm like 50 hours into Avowed and completely addicted to it. To each their own I guess

@PcTV yeah because resistance to technological advancement usually works!

The horse riders just need to accept reality and buy a car

@crossbit the crash of 1983 happened because of over saturation and companies not being able to make money because of it. Sure, some companies arent making money and failing, but a lot others are making a lot money. So how does a crash come out of this? What is crashing exactly?

@ShogunRok people say this but the industry makes more money than ever so I dont see how it could crash

I havent purchased a physical game in 5+ years

@wildcat_kickz yeah, having played Skyrim first, Oblivion was a let down

@Timorteus yeah that phrasing doesn't really make sense lol

I mean we have seen already what happens in markets where console gaming is too expensive for most people, they just game on mobile devices. If hardware prices remain too high for too long, we could see the beginning of a gradual drift towards mobile gaming in western audiences

@Reeneman if you're playing on the base ps5, I'd strongly recommend the 30 fps over the performance mode if u can tolerate the lower frames. The visual difference in lighting and shadows is jarring and i find the performance mode ugly

I like anything that makes me feel superior to my fellow man

I've dropped GOW 2018 like 4 times after trying to play it so generally I agree with Jaffe's view on the franchises direction as a whole. I loved the original trilogy

@4fold this sounds like a niche case tho. Most people complete their game and move on or drop the game and move on. The Crew servers were available for 10 years, how many people are realistically gonna go back after that

@LowDefAl okay but how many people are we talking that engage with this?

I honestly cant get behind this movement. Ultimately how many people are really trying to go back to these old games? A vast majority of game consumers arent trying to play the original Crew or any other old game. They will just play the most recent one. Seems like a waste of time and energy spent on trying to safeguard old media

GTA fans trying to compete for worst game franchise fanbase

"leaning into the incorrect idea of DEI elements ruining gaming."

this is very dismissive lol

My biggest visual complaint so far is the really bad pop-in with NPCs and objects as you're driving around, at least on the base PS5

@species using lootboxes as an example of some sort of win is ridiculous. We went from $5 lootboxes to just $20-$25 skins. The monetization practices have not improved at all since the elimination of lootboxes. Your point would only stand if aggressive monetization went away after lootboxes, but it didn't

These anti-gacha people don't seem to understand that having an article about a big gacha game is important because the gacha industry is so huge and popular. If you hate these games and hate these articles, then you're the weird one, not the other way around lol

I'm horrible at 2D games but I gotta support the boys

@Americansamurai1 if they did that, then the hardcore playstation fanbase would just boycott them because they aren't true to the original games

@LiamCroft is there a noticeable difference between the Quality mode and Performance mode on PS5 in terms of visuals? Is the performance mode a big downgrade?

Do we know what the "Fixed 4k Output" feature does exactly? I didn't think any of the graphics modes ran at native 4k anyway. Is this changing anything in that regard or is it still just being upscaled on quality mode?

Why did it take them over a month to fix a save bug? That should have been patched within 48 hours of release

Am I crazy or are the interior shadows/lighting incorrect at night? Like not just bad looking, it looks like they're not rendering correctly

@Fishysensei The quality mode still has issues unfortunately. Lots of shimmering in grass/trees and reflections. Also the shadows and lighting is kind of messed up at night in buildings

I've been using Quality mode which is supposed to be the least blurry but its still pretty bad. Lots of shimmering in the foliage and water. Sun/light reflections in the water look really bad. I actually don't mind much else so if they could somehow clean up the blurriness then I'd be happy

@wildcat_kickz you're right, I should be trying to be attractive to the anonymous users of a Playstation gaming website

I just want the Army Men games
