That's...not a question?

It arrived about half an hour after that post?

It's not for me anyway but I wanted it to be here regardless?

Thanks?

The TAA they use would be ok for the most part, but the sheer amount of leaves, blades of grass, pollen particles, bugs and whatever else the game is pushing just shines the worst possible light on its shortcomings. Anything at distance looks like it’s behind a film grain filter.

I’d probably rather have a 40fps resolution mode ahead of them trying to implement a different AA solution, tbh. It’s handily the best looking console game there’s ever been in that mode, but in performance mode it isn’t.

Heck, I’d even just take a quicker way to switch between the two without touching the menus. I’ve bounced between 30 and 60 a fair bit already and I only need the 60fps for combat.

I'm hoping for bigger tits, bigger arse, more make-up, much skimpier outfits. This game is just way too woke, 0/10!!!!!!

The Peach fuzz stuff was hilarious, people (virgins) annoyed by it!

It looks lush from what I've seen so was unaware of 'any' visual problems...

It's being review-bombed on Metacritic, because people are babies.

Is it really being review bombed simply because it has a female character?

I think most PS and Xbox exclusive games get review bombed. Babies sure but honestly who cares.

The *actual* story is beginning for me now at… 12 hours in. Just finished the Death’s Door quest.

Gut reaction is that I’m not wild about this turn in the story, but I do recognise that they had to do something different to make it distinct from the first game. To this point the game was just “ok, finish the job” but now it’s becoming its own thing. When you’ve exhausted all the known mysteries already, it would feel like the sequel was missing something that made the original special. My fear right now is that the new stuff is going to feel tacked-on, while everything before was deep and well considered.

But that being said, I’m still interested to know more and outside of the main story, everything else is excellent. The comparison with Witcher 3’s side quests is not unearned.

No, Xbots and Ponies ( :slol: ) have so much time on their sad pathetic lives they like to sit in the basements review bombing whatever exclusive comes out on their evil enemy of their beloved plastic box. Did the same gooseberry fool with Halo Infinite.

Not sure when the update became live but mines just installed it now.

Wow, somehow it's even sadder than review bombing because the lead character is a girl :slol:

Absolutely, it's strawberry floating disgusting, pretty sure Thunder Jaws have lasers, so there's no excuse for any facial hair, what a freak show.

In the grand scheme of things, not a big deal as you say, although I've read suggestions that it can have a small impact on sales, plus if you're a developer that's spent a long time making something good then this must be a bit galling.
