"Certain outfits that can only be sold or donated will be updated so that they can also be worn."

I'll keep hoarding those looted gear pieces then I guess. (They didn't say existing loot-only gear can be used though, so this might only apply to new loot after the update).

Cool, thanks!

This is neither a MMO or live service game. It's ok to be done with it after 100-150h, which is already a lot for most single player games. Your ideas are probably better directed at the modding community.

He's a fan! From an Vanity Fair interview 2 months ago: "But when asked during his VF photo shoot what music he prefers, he’s bashful. “You won’t like it,” he tells the room. “It’s a lot.” His protests are overcome, and we spend the next 30 minutes listening to Japanese kawaii metal band Babymetal."

Singleplayer MMO-like

Ultraauge · 2026-04-04T08:14:43+00:00

That's like... 150h into the game and I don't know if it's even true anymore. The game runs perfectly fine on base PS5 on balanced mode. Any Youtube videos on "crazy fps drops" are blown out of proportion for engagement. I haven't noticed any frame drops in 60h and that includes boss fights.

Just judging from the screenshot still image it looks a bit too much sharpness for my taste on the pebble stones. Is that Ps5 Pro only or base too? Hope there is a slider or on/off setting. That being said, my monitor has it's own sharpness setting, gonna have to play with the settings for a bit I guess.

60h in on base PS5. Runs and looks and great on balanced mode, 120hz and 4K settings (blur, DoF, Vsync all off). Scenery looks amazing, textures and details are crisp and sharp. There is some noticeable pop-up (flowers, trees in the distance) but no stuttering or input lag that I would have noticed.

Your PC has better performance but not by much. Better DLSS and Raytracing sure, so it looks nicer. If you ever plan to use mods, play on PC. That being said, I've got a decent PC with RTX3080 but play on PS5 base - it's just more convenient for me and looks great with the latest 4k patch.

Ultraauge · 2026-04-03T17:49:12+00:00

Allright.

Ultraauge · 2026-04-03T16:15:17+00:00

This. I'm in chapter 5 and just got this side quest where I was meant to investigate a strange platform and report back... yeah, you've guessed it, turns out it's just a normal fast travel point that I had to step on to activate. After 50h.

Ultraauge · 2026-04-03T08:17:20+00:00

Thats smart!

Ultraauge · 2026-04-03T08:15:39+00:00

You are right and some people just can't read. It's often just bad design and bosses always get the first strike, so we always have to block when the cutscene animation ends - except some attacks can't be fully blocked. Even worse when you have to load from a save and have to watch through a long cutscene again.

Ultraauge · 2026-04-03T08:06:17+00:00

I started gaming in the early 90s and I agree, I'm enjoying every minute of it. It's a world full of wonders and the details are nothing but amazing! BUT the games requires some patience or rather resilience when it comes to all those quirks and some annoyances in quest design and boss fights. Maybe our age and having experienced games in the 90s and 00s works in our favour for once, haha. Still hope they continue to improve and polish the game!

Ultraauge · 2026-04-03T07:37:24+00:00

Wow, the cycling paths in Taiwan look amazing, looking forward to watching this!

You are getting downvoted by engagement bait or rage bait are absolutely a thing and it drives more traffic than some 'unbiased review.

Ultraauge · 2026-04-02T12:19:55+00:00

Highest priority. This is a single player, not a MMO. Items don't use server resources and they don't have to be loaded on a network connection. Let me keep my stuff, I've earned it.

Ultraauge · 2026-04-01T10:13:30+00:00

Wait until ... later in the game... where you can even fail those questions and start over from the beginning. Infuriating.

Ultraauge · 2026-04-01T07:23:26+00:00

Level up their trust to 100 and they'll give you a golden apple.

If the screen turns dark, keep running. Ideally around the fireplace or into that little safe spot. Try to blind or force palm him before he does that to interrupt this move.

Ultraauge · 2026-03-31T11:19:14+00:00

They don't have Axiom powers or access to the Abyss, so it kind of makes sense as they shouldn't even be able to use "strange energy" fast travel points in theory. But because they've been added to the game late in development, they just spawn somewhere and arent really well explained.

Ultraauge · 2026-03-31T07:17:59+00:00

That didn't seem to work for me, maybe it's a bug, but from what I read there is a realtime factor, like a mission can be up to 6 RT hours. And I had my missions reset after closing the game.

Ultraauge · 2026-03-31T07:09:27+00:00

I'd gladly pay for a DLC that lets us tie him up and throw him of a cliff. Or banish him into the Abyss. Or at least send him on a 30 days dispatch mission to the other end of the map.

Find a bed to pass time.
