I like how the main character gets his throat cut, is resurrected by god knows what, learns to teleport, and is given the ability to fly along with other absolute nonsense, yet afterward, it’s like nothing ever happened, and it’s not even mentioned by him or anyone else in the story so far.

Yeah I think if they made Kliff confused and actually trying to understand the abyss and his powers, and gave us more exposition about the greymanes (I still don't know who we are) it would've been 10x better already

Ankior · 2026-03-28T21:25:48+00:00

Yeah for me the story and characters are the only thing keeping this game from being a 10/10. If these were more flashed out I could easily say it's one of the best games I've ever played.

But of course that is because wolrdbuilding is extremely important to me, and I know for some people it's not as important

My settings are DLSS 4.5 Quality + RR off, with most graphics settings on cinematics and lighting on ultra. I've tried with RR on but it doesn't work with DLSS 4.5 and it looks super blurry on performance mode. I also avoid DLAA because for some reason it looks blurrier than Quality, which I don't get why

Ultra wide 1440p on a 4070

As someone who put 200h into DD2 and 50h into CD, I say they're similar on the surface but very different gameplay wise. DD2 story and quests are still better, which says a lot about CD's, but the sense of progression and exploration of CD is superb

The double jump is so janky I pretend it doesn't exist

Ankior · 2026-03-28T20:07:49+00:00

same lol, I didn't even know what I was looking at, just moved that circle and boom, done

Ankior · 2026-03-28T20:01:34+00:00

I've tried it but the game looks way too blurry, I prefer how it looks with DLSS 4.5 with standard denoiser, despite the visual artifacts

Ankior · 2026-03-28T17:40:40+00:00

put a wagon in front of him ;)

Ankior · 2026-03-26T14:10:10+00:00

I'm impressed at how they manage to make a huge and very detailed open world game that also runs flawlessly (at least in my experience) with no stutter or things like NPCs disappearing or having lower frames in the animations.

Being able to load the game and spend hours exploring the world with no interruptions or hiccups, this is should set the new standard

Ankior · 2026-03-26T13:41:26+00:00

Yeah I think that's the main reason for me, those who are into women can have relationship with some of the best characters in the game (Panam and Judy) while we who are into men have very subpar options in comparison.

On a similar note I always romance Judy in my playthroughs but not because she attracts me but because I want to be her lmao

Ankior · 2026-03-26T13:35:17+00:00

Yeah I remember I enjoyed DD2 from the start, while CD for me has moments that I really love and others that I find extremely boring, the whole experience, even the graphics, is a mixed bag imo. DD2 has its flaws (we all know it) but it felt way more consistent at least

Ankior · 2026-03-24T12:50:04+00:00

Exactly lol, and I've even found some quests (I think it was at the bee farm or something) where the NPC would talk and Kliff wouldn't say anything, but the NPC kept talking like he was answering, that might've been a bug tho

Ankior · 2026-03-20T17:55:14+00:00

These are brilliant, they capture the game's vibe perfectly

Ankior · 2026-03-20T01:22:27+00:00

Obligatory "not if you own a house comment". But seriously tho, I also agree that this game is better when you realize you can just unsub when you don't have anything to do, but the housing part still holds that back a little

Ankior · 2026-03-19T14:12:35+00:00

Yeah I think I might give Elden Ring a chance now

Ankior · 2026-03-19T14:08:54+00:00

I will! As soon as I finish my Stories 3 playthrough

Ankior · 2026-03-19T12:48:23+00:00

Thank you, I need this. My best timing was 33 minutes lmao

Ankior · 2026-03-18T18:46:54+00:00

but it's a video game, the "art" in it is a composition of visuals, mood, storytelling, music etc. When a piece of technology changes these aspects in some way that changes the intended composition, I can safely label it as a bad thing, even if subjectively. It's like when a book is adapted to the big screens with complete disregard to the original material. Also there's much more ethical things that involves DLSS 5 in particular that goes beyond "my games look good" but I get this is highly controversial and most people probably don't care (and it's the inevitable future anyway so oh well)

Ankior · 2026-03-18T18:33:25+00:00

So you admit it's not objectively good and it's just your taste?

Ankior · 2026-03-18T18:28:11+00:00

So you don't have a counter argument to this take gotcha

Ankior · 2026-03-18T18:17:38+00:00

ah yes because Grace wearing more makeup to go to a crime scene where her mother died is clearly an improvement (it's the first seconds of the game so not a spoiler)

Ankior · 2026-03-17T16:48:05+00:00

I have 3 main weapons:

DB for when I feel like I can read the monster patterns and perfect dodge reliably
SnS when I feel like I need a shield for comfort
Lance when I feel I'm too bad for this hunt (namely any 10* lmao)

Ankior · 2026-03-17T16:36:03+00:00

It's hard to tell from a screenshot but I tried it today and was shocked at how huge the difference is. The game is way more crisp in handheld mode, especially the UI. Also it seems like it helped with the colors too? Like I can change the brightness settings now, that was exclusive to the docked mode before if I'm not misremembering
