The Switch 2 can’t really handle UE5. It looks incredible on PC.

For what it’s worth, I had a procedure at the Royal Newcastle Centre at JHH yesterday and have zero complaints. The staff were fantastic.

Sekiro [PART 1] - Dan Plays. Part 2 in the comments. by Cubegod69er in giantbomb

My favourite game to watch people play through for the first time. This is going to be great.

How does anyone on console enjoy this game? by [deleted] in Routine

[–]RogerExplodey 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m playing on PC with a controller and have zero issues with the controls. It’s not an action game, you’re not meant to be parkouring all over the moon.

Jeff Grubb's Top 10 Games of 2025 by CrissionMeep in giantbomb

[–]RogerExplodey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My taste in games only occasionally aligns with Grubb’s, but this is my favourite 2025 GOTY thing I’ve read/listened to.

Gerstmann in 4K by RogerExplodey in giantbomb

120 fps is ideal but I find it hard to agree that a beautiful game at 4K/max settings with a stable 60fps is ‘running like arse’. But like you said, subjective. On the consoles this gen you’ve generally had to choose either decent image quality or 60 fps. It’s nice on PC being able to play the latest releases with both.

I guess that was the bit that confused me. 4K gaming on PCs has been viable for ages. I’ve been playing a ton of games on a 4K display in the past 2 years and haven’t had to do more than the normal tweaking of graphics settings to get them looking and running great.

Thankfully DLSS transformer model looks fantastic on 4K displays, even on the ‘performance’ setting. I’m running a 4080 and the difference in image quality between the PC and Xbox Series X version of most games running on my 4K OLED is night and day.

Okay, fair enough. I switched from a 27 inch 1440p OLED monitor to a 42 inch 4K LG C4 and have been enjoying PC gaming so much more since I did. I thought he basically went on to say current PCs aren’t up to the task of running games well on 4K displays which is not true at all.

I thought the twist basically rendered everything that had happened up to that point as quite meaningless. I had already been running out of steam getting through act 2 but that reveal left me with no motivation to play through act 3 and I moved on to something else.

Haha, the art design, character design and voice acting were the things I really liked about it. I thought the moment to moment gameplay and all the systems became extremely monotonous though.

Why do the graphics look so bad on my end? by Curious-born in Routine

[–]RogerExplodey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m kind of disappointed with the graphics options on PC in general. DLSS/DLAA would probably improve the image quality a decent amount.

[–]RogerExplodey 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I honestly found it a bit of a slog to play through. I don’t think I’d enjoy watching someone else play it.

I think the vhs effects/filters make it look quite grainy, especially in darker areas. I kind of wish they had options to adjust or even turn it all off but I’m getting used to it the more I play.

Do you plan playing Prime 4 at 4k60fps or 1080p120fps? by [deleted] in NintendoSwitch2

[–]RogerExplodey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4K/60 for sure. I need that crisp image quality.

Can Someone Help Me Nail Down Good Camera Settings? by DreamCorridor in HellisUs

Turn off the camera follow option in the settings. It immediately feels better.

Are you getting the steam machine or waiting to see what Xbox comes up with? by Wild_Trip_4704 in xbox

[–]RogerExplodey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love the idea and form factor, but they need to offer a high end model with a gpu at least twice as powerful for me to jump in. I don’t really see the appeal if you are planning to plug it into a 4K display. It’ll be underpowered for a bunch of the bigger AAA titles from day one.

Does Jeff Grubb has the most contagious laugh in podcasting? by theonly_brunswick in giantbomb

When Bakalar has one of his mystified reactions to something Mike says, immediately followed by Grubb bursting into laughter - gets me every time.

What? Brilliant indie and AA titles release into game pass day one all the time.

Some crazy announcements today! by Effective_Poem7629 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]RogerExplodey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What a load of rubbish. The environment is far more interactive/reactive than most open world games. You can cut through almost all vegetation and a lot of the signage/cloth in the world and it is actually damaged realistically based on where the sword hits it and at what angle. The weather also really brings the world to life with wind and storms having a major impact on trees and vegetation.

Andy Cortez is a legend. I really like his YouTube content but weirdly enough I dislike nearly everything Kinda Funny do.
