Re: What are you playing?
Man, I just can't get over how average to bad the combat in the Witcher 3 is. I'm playing on a PS4 Pro and it is chugging to even keep a steady frame rate. The lock on system is busted as hell and the animations look so robotic.

Going from games like Bloodborne and its precise combat to the Witcher is a tough move. I think it's easier to start with the Witcher and then go to games like Bloodborne and Nioh.
I really enjoyed the witcher, the story was awesome but man that combat gets old fast.

It honestly feels like an early PS3/Xbox 360 game. I can't get past it. I dread enemy encounters because of how clunky it is.jwfocker wrote:Going from games like Bloodborne and its precise combat to the Witcher is a tough move.

The story and writing are excellent however. A shame.

I fired up Far Cry 5 last night to see if I could get back into it. I traded it in about two hours later.

Re: What are you playing?
Besides graphics, the other signs of age for me are that the driving controls and combat are clunky as hell. For example, driving a car is done with the X button, not the R2 as you'd expect. I'm sure that was always the case for these games and i got used to it at the time, but modern games have trained me to use R2. I'm a couple hours in and still hitting L2 expecting it to be the brakes and then i'll just crash into thingsMonkey_Driven wrote:What are the major signs of age outside of graphics?mf wrote:GTA San Andreas on PS4. i must have bought it ages ago and forgot to play it. this game has not aged well.

But, really graphics are the big one obviously. The draw distance/fog are pretty bad and even on the PS4 textures load in and out randomly - put that might be a port issue. I can't recall my experience on PS2 for reference. The interiors are blocky and empty and everything is proportioned weirdly. I think this game is just screaming for an proper remaster. I'd pay for that.

Re: What are you playing?
Recently finished my MSc exams, so I celebrated with a 25 hour weekend marathon of War for the Overworld. I loved the original Dungeon Keeper games, and this is pretty much what it sets out to be: Dungeon Keeper 3.
Hoping to pick up some goodies in the Steam summer sale.

Yeah, it is amazing how much driving/shooting/platforming has improved in open world games. Can you not change the control scheme?

I was drunkenly playing the demo for that stupid sushi game on the Switch last night.
It's actually fun as hell.
