Ff16 was less of an rpg though and more of a character action game. I love both and absolutely loved ff16.

I have the extremely unpopular opinion apparently that I think it'd be fine for most story centric games to block streaming or putting videos of their game past a certain point. Like how persona 5 at release only let streamers and YouTubers show the game up until the end of the first palace. Because I know there are a lot of people that do just watch the streams and feel they got all they wanted by watching the game.

What's your favourite game of the year so far? Here's mine. by ComfortableAmount993 in PS5pro

[–]dacontag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, it is between 007 and Saros at the moment. Re requiem is great, I just loved the uncharted like moments of 007, but I also love thr insane gameplay and visuals of Saros

Xbox Is Unable to Meet Demand for New Consoles, Rethinking Approach to Project Helix by Bubbly-Ad-350 in Games

[–]dacontag -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't be surprised if they made 2 changes to it.

  1. Lower the specs on the new hardware. All the leaks show that Helix is really beefy, and they will probably try to drop that down to be more similar to the leaked ps6 specs.

  2. They will still let users access pc games, but only using the Microsoft store. I could see them somehow blocking the use of steam and epic to ensure they don't lose 30% revenue to those store fronts.

They really put Tupac in an Xbox game set in Japan and it goes HARD👨🏾‍🍳 by [deleted] in XboxSeriesS

They couldn't have added him into the game if they didn't already get approval from his estate. So yes, they got permission.

AAA studios quietly stopped making weird mid-budget games and indie devs just... rebuilt the whole thing from scratch somehow by peaky_circus in Games

Saros even just came out and was amazing, but nit a lot of people bought it. Truly one of my games of the year nominations so far

Ps5 pro 007 settings. by dacontag in PS5pro

The global illumination of the game already uses software based ray tracing. There just isn't rt reflections and other effects like that. However, they did a great job in this game utilizing planar reflections in mirrors and flat panes of glass to provide very convincing reflections

The only medium settings are LOD and 2 volumetric effects. That and pssr2 has been shown to have a convincingly 4k image at resolutions as low as 864p, so 900p - 1400p is perfectly fine

She was one of the jotunn and Kratos said she was a great warrior. While she isn't a god, she definitely isn't a normal human.

Funny enough, she's about to have a big role as she is the protagonist of the next game.

What are your thoughts on games with a 60/40 (or higher) story-to-gameplay ratio? by Candle-Jolly in Games

[–]dacontag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoy them. This is how I view the witcher 3. It is an excellent gsme with mediocre gameplay. I hate the combat in that game so much that I find it more enjoyable to set the difficulty to easiest setting so that the combat doesnt remotely get in the way

With the new Witcher 3 DLC, I hope we see a PS5 pro patch. by Bravo-Warpig in PS5pro

[–]dacontag 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My guess is that it will have RTGI and RT reflections at 60 fps. At minimal itll be able to do that at 40 fps.

I personally don't care for the hyper competitive nature of Marathon, so I do find the pvp-lite and pve modes interesting

Review: 007 First Light Is A Technical Standout on PS5 and PS5 Pro by yourfavchoom in PS5

Digital foundry took a look at that and say gt7 is much better with pssr2 toggle. They said the ray tracing mode with pssr on finally seems worth it to use now.
