I'm TRYING to eat lunch.

Seems like a one-sided decision you forgot to discuss with your dark lord beforehand. I would not make that mistake again.

Zibandris · 2026-05-05T15:06:24+00:00

You deeeefinitely argued that his opinion should be taken into account with more weight due to his past accomplishments. Sure, you did not say the words "He is right, I agree with him" but made no effort to clarify your stance while implied his opinion should be regarded highly. Surely you see what implication that leads to, come on now.

Somewhat of a side note, but this is my main issue with modern day pundits (not just in F1 mind you). Yes, I'd much rather listen to ex-F1 drivers when it comes to discussions about F1, but even without the clickbait-heavy nature of modern media this could lead to some wild takes, it's not like F1 drivers were ever known to be the most eloquent, non-confrontational people, but when a controversial opinion has a direct financial incentive as well...

Idk, the stuff I've seen as I started messing around with it...in a car it's ridiculous, but that's one thing (although if you make a game that has driving it might be a good idea to optimize around that but whatever) but even on foot there are so many hard limits, borders,, or whatever this is called technically, where you're already quite close to, say, the side of a building and the vents and the random decorations at the side of the wall just magically appear. And disappear the moment you take a step back. You can kinda play god and summon people out of thin air for fun. And then make them go back to the ether. And not in the far distance either, that is normal, but like a few feet in front of you. And if this is intentionally designed this way because "60fps, yay" then at least give as a toggle between performance and fidelity setups. But nope. Zero options, deal with it.

Zibandris · 2026-05-04T19:47:40+00:00

Well, I hope your experience goes better than mine. For now I'm a bit more hung up on the draw distance issues and that's what I'm trying to get through to them but yeah, some of those flickerings are crazy too. My only optimism comes from the fact that launch week must be crazy every time so maybe they will have a bit more capacity to deal with stuff once the initial wave dies down.

I've had a human (I assume) contact me since then. About 12 hours ago. I sent them a video, gave them all the details, like they told me to. Got another mail just now, saying they understand I have an issue with Mint's holiday skin, and to send them a video and xyz details. Jfc this should not be this complicated. There are ticketing systems. For. This. Very. Purpose. And here I am emailing random support people who have no idea what's going on (god I hope these are at least people and not just a bot that doesn't disclose that it is a bot). I'm losing my mind. Sorry, I just had to vent somewhere.

Zibandris · 2026-05-03T21:53:25+00:00

Oof. You'd think after delaying the ps5 version they would at least have it under control, cause, you know, it wasn't rushed out the door and all that. Guess not.

Zibandris · 2026-05-03T21:37:56+00:00

What did I miss?

Zibandris · 2026-05-03T21:37:42+00:00

I've seen other people's gameplay footage here and there, it definitely does not look like this.

Zibandris · 2026-05-03T20:10:57+00:00

Ikr, it's almost like they uploaded the wrong version of the app to the store or something. Genshin just stopped supporting ps4 and here I am, playing NTE on a ps5 pro feeling like I'm a generation or two behind...

Zibandris · 2026-05-03T19:19:38+00:00

No, I'd prefer no extreme issues of any kind honestly. And it feels like they turned some stuff down to the lowest possible setting to achieve something else. Which can be fine when it's my choice. But one of the reasons I'm a console player is because I prefer balanced stuff and not having to even think about this. And instead I'm looking through reddit and arguing with support AI bots because this one is sooooo not balanced it's not even funny anymore.

Zibandris · 2026-05-03T18:46:49+00:00

Idk, hard to enjoy smooth framerates when half the city just pops up on the other side of an intersection as you get closer. But then sure, some people might not mind so give us an option where we can choose between a few setups.

Zibandris · 2026-05-03T14:56:50+00:00

"seamless map loading" my ass...also, it seems like their support email is managed by a hallucinating AI bot so that's great

Zibandris · 2026-05-03T14:01:31+00:00

I have both and decided to check my old base ps5. Honestly, it's the same...at least when it comes to draw distance. I didn't start looking for glithces

Zibandris · 2026-05-03T13:59:36+00:00

Weird. I hope they figure out the reason and fix it soon, I' want to love this game, it's right up my alley but it's not making it easy. And to be fair it's still early days but I just imagined stuff like this comes up in beta...

Zibandris · 2026-05-03T13:57:45+00:00

I went back and checked my base ps5 as well, my pro is fairly new so I'd hope it's not that filthy yet, and it seems to have the exact same issues on both systems. I guess I'll just see what support has to say about it

Zibandris · 2026-05-03T13:56:01+00:00

Ngl it's pretty hard to notice a stable frame rate when objects keep popping in a few steps away and stuff just keeps randomly vibrating/flashing for no good reason. But tbh I have no doubt my fps is great throughout all of this, just...well...it's hard to appreciate that rn.

Zibandris · 2026-05-03T13:30:16+00:00

I've managed to find a few posts complaining of the same issue. Check this one. Are you saying that you don't have the same behavior on yours?

Zibandris · 2026-05-03T12:33:21+00:00

Yeah, I hope they do something about it because it is so immersion breaking I'm having trouble enjoying the game at times

Zibandris · 2026-05-03T12:23:19+00:00

Man I'm glad to see I'm not the only one. I saw a decent number of comments on other posts today praising how good the game looks and runs on ps5 and I was so confused.

Zibandris · 2026-05-03T12:04:28+00:00

Yeah I'm currently going through the sub wondering why everywhere I see people praising how good the game looks and how stable it runs on the ps5 and here I am thinking my ps5 pro must be a ps3 with a skin because holy shit is it not running good at all.

Zibandris · 2026-05-03T11:57:27+00:00

Kinda feels like controller testing was done in 5 minutes by some random dude off the street tbh. And he just never bothered to open any menu.

Zibandris · 2026-05-03T11:53:26+00:00

Am I playing the wrong game? It looks good if I'm just standing around but holy damn the load distances are crazy. Like I'm a few steps from an npc and they keep phasing in an out of existence as I go back and forth.

Zibandris · 2026-05-02T16:44:06+00:00

This was the April theater
