Just started a replay of Assassin's Creed Unity with the latest 60 fps update. Don't know yet whether it will hold my attention for long, but I was craving a good old fashioned AC experience for some reason.
I wonder whether this eliminates the issues I had with remote play. Higher bitrate should help. For some reason, I had a much more stable resolution with streaming as opposed to remote play despite very strong wireless signal and a hardwired PS5.
Her comment on X about whether she should bring the blades dashboard back is some of the cringiest PR talk I've seen. As if someone next to her told her: Say that, OG Xbox players will love that and think you know your stuff.
Continuing with Death Stranding 2 probably while not trying to burn myself out. I'll probably stick to the main story because of it. It often happens to me in sandbox games that I'm trying to do everything and eventually I get burnt out half way through. Trying to avoid that this time while not trying to experience fomo at the same time. Gamer issues, lol.
@Lysterao Yeah, that's what I've been told as well. That it feels like a single player MMO a lot of times and that the NPCs in towns, cities etc. are more or less lifeless, don't really follow a routine an such. Will probably try it anyway, I liked the Outer Worlds but I like the fantasy setting more and that's a bit what I'm hoping for here, combining the best of both worlds.
I was very much looking forward to this until multiple people told me that the game is only fun for the combat but the excitement of it wears off rather quickly. Oh well, lol.
@playstation1995 True, they made one about me but it's called The Witness. Bro, you've been rating games on release days and even before that for years now, why would anyone take anything you say seriously? Word up son.
@JustMyOpinion I was a staunch defender of physical until this summer. Not exactly sure what sparked the change but I've sold my entire collection and rebought the games on sale I wanted back (yes, I made a profit, did not lose anything). Couldn't be any happier with my choice. If you had told me I'd go down this path a year ago, I would have called you crazy but here we are.
@Max_the_German Haven't noticed that at all tbh. I've tested HFW extensively via streaming and it was a crisp 1080p picture all around. Didn't notice any jaggies around grass or other vegetation at all.
the latest update is amazing. At launch, I had issues with micro stutters during remote play etc. which got gradually better over time but it wasn't good enough for me to regularly use it. The newest update has completely changed that. Streaming has worked flawlessly for me thus far. No hiccups, no degrading picture quality. I've been using it more over the last couple of days than I have in a very long time. The new UI features are great as well where you can check your current connection status and latency. During remote play, I only have 1-3 ms latency, streaming bumps that up to around 6 or 7 but picture quality and resolution are much more consistent for me there.
@Logonogo Yes, he also gives full blown reviews for games on the day of release and gives them a rating. And pretty much everything is either one of the best games ever or at least an instant classic, lol.
@dark_knightmare2 It wasn't original at all in 2, TOC even less so, which was basically Mafia trope bingo at its finest. In terms of performance, I'd give TOC a slight edge here because of Bernardo Torrisi alone.
@dark_knightmare2 Personal preference. Imo, 2's story takes a dump on this one. While not bad, it was painfully predictable from around the 2 hour mark on.
I loved it despite its flaws (which are obvious). That said, it's a "great 7/10" for me if that makes any sense. The second is still my favorite and probably one of my favorite SP games ever.
I can't get enough of this world. My favorite WRPG series by a landslide. I even put up with that terrible first console port and didn't mind it. Needless to say I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
Unpopular opinion, but since its launch, I haven't felt a single time that the selection isn't worth around a fiver from a value perspective. And that is coming from someone that barely ever plays anything from the PS Plus catalogue. I get the feeling that a lot of people just deem a month trash whenever there isn't anything in there they haven't played yet. For me to call a month trash it would have to be Pet the Poodle, Jumping Gumboot and Dancing Tortilla or whatever they're called.
@Veritas7Ax I can see why. The midnight black one is sexy as hell for sure. But I can't bring myself to make such a loss due to a color. Although I'd like to, lol. But I know how it usually goes. I do stupid stuff like that, get all excited for a day or two and when the novelty has worn off, I end up wishing I hadn't done it.
