Finished The Plucky Squire. It's good without being great imo. The art style and concept carry it through. Prob a 7.5 for me Making my way through Chapter 4 of Wukong

Space Marine 2 is kind of a let down. I feel i was expecting more than this. Its straight up an Xbox 360 era game. The enemy variety is terrible. Its the same mob every time. Bunch of little bugs and a few bigger guys that are in the swarm with them. Every single time. Occasionally there will be some flying bug that spits shit at you. And gargoyles, that do the same thing every time. They fly on some machine in the air and you have to shoot them off. Every mission is the same. The story doesnt matter because its the same mission. Kill the same horde over and over, shoot

Sony is so out of touch. Like who actually played Horizon and thought to themselves 'a online shooter version of this would be great!'. Like come on.

shat in space

lmao FirePoor has to trade in shit to gamestop to afford it

The first dungeon in Echoes of Wisdom owned. The performance is also better in these indoor areas compared to the open world.

Yeah, I felt like it tip-toed between good/great. More of an 8 for me (rounded up from a 7.75). I’m looking forward to what the devs do next.

Nintendo Nostalgia will boost scores.

The more I play the more distracted I am by the bad performance. Any time you summon more than one NPC creature/minion in combat the framerate plunges into the low 20s and struggles to recover. Then there's the random hitches and drops while exploring the world even when nothing is happening....its bad and Im actually shocked Nintendo thought it was acceptable to release it like this. Any other game with these technical issues would have been trashed but since this is Zelda it gets a pass I guess.

This is good news.

Good. It’s so underwhelming.

The first playable encounter with zombies sets the tone on Series X, where at the back of the mall we go down to the 45fps line as long as all enemies stay visible on-screen. The game doesn't appear to rely on dynamic resolution scaling, so there's no flexibility for Series X to adjust here. Moments like this are uncommon, but it might be an early sign of how gameplay will dip at the extremes in later missions as well. Curiously, testing PS5 in the exact same spot shows a clear performance lead on Sony's machine, going down to the low 50s at worst.

Maybe to not explicitly show PlayStation Studios is associated with Nintendo?

Yea, I saw the DF analysis. Pretty disappointing. Nintendo's big titles are usually fairly consistent.. this engine has issues for sure. Switch doesn't quite have enough memory bandwidth, which is why it drops frames while streaming in as you move around. On the plus side, Switch 2 should automatically bump all this up to a locked 60fps.

I’m using a boss guide to beat the ones I missed. Surprisingly, I only missed two in 2, and had already found all the ones in 1,3 and 4. I’m missing some important gourds, so I’ll check those out. Once I feel like I’ve uncovered the secrets, then I’ll try to finish off the game.

Damn Pro putting in the work with RT.

Don't forget the lego game. Sony fucked up and now they are rushing franchise fatigue as fast as they possibly can

A step in the right direction then two steps back. RIP old school Sony.

yea it looks really cool, the pixel water and shiny reflection better than rays just a shame when these type of games are completely fucking bland story- and character wise like I heard about octopath also yea cool, good that canados does something good for a change, maybe y'all start putting milk in cartons next you fucking freaks lol

Well of course you can get away with less lol.. that's literally why there's different recommendations for different presets. 16GB is probably pushing it for this game though. 32 would be no probs.. but 16 ain't a whole lot anymore.

Still better than a dem.

I started echoes of wisdom. The game seems neat but I really can’t believe how inconsistent the performance is. The graphics aren’t that good either, it’s definitely less sharp and lower res compared to other recent Nintendo games.

The days of Andrew House and Shawn Layden are over.
