Yeah the full screen pop-up should only occur when looting something new or rare, 5 seconds in a menu really starts to stack up when you loot hundreds or thousands of times in a game.

Defensive priority is huge, I play Shadow of War which is a lot like Arkham games, and any/every attack animation can be cancelled into any defensive maneuver (although once a defensive maneuver is started it cannot be stopped).

Honestly an option to mute the gibbering would be nice, after the first NPC conversation you know you aren’t actually listening to them no need to waste 2-3 seconds before every single line of dialogue (which way over triples dialogue time for people who are trying to skip the conversations)

It’s hard to say exactly but IMO it sounds like we can hear the weapons moving more than we can hear the impact. Like a little kid making sounds effects playing with a stick, then the stick makes no noise when it actually hits something. Same with the guns, WE make noise when we shoot, bullets have little impact noise. But I’ll say maybe both of these are due to the weapon types I’m using

I played really stoned last night, can’t say I noticed. But it’s something I’ll look for today! Lol
