Do not laugh at me, or i will get a 4090, overclock it past yours, and will have a better setup than a Hermit. Imagine getting rolled by a cow. Never seen on SW, so you better watch out.

If you had a better setup than me, I would be happy for you. Also, if you have to ask for respect, you are doing it wrong.

Dreaming up an entire argument to launch based off some irrelevant question that has nothing to do with the conversation but then you getting asshurt because I won't entertain your deflection amuses me.

Wrong. I told Last_Lap to respect me, and now he couldn't be more respectful toward me.

As of right now, its mostly negative on Steam review users. Elden Ring had problems on PC but not this bad compared to Dragon's Dogma 2.

Meh, lip syncing in Banishers was off putting too, you get over it after a while.

I'd rather have a good storied game with imperfect lip sync.

Than suffer through pretentious trash that has perfect animations.

I'd rather have both but again, graphics and lip sync are just not important as a game progresses and you're genuinly sucked in.

When its this bad, you do what Fromsoft does, which is NOT zooming in on characters face during conversations. Its the smartest thing.

Is this true? It would explain them attempting to block mods.

https://www.reddit.com/r/virtualreality/comments/194tdgu/capcom_adding_drm_to_prevent_modding_can_anyone/

I just refunded the game, mostly because of this, but also because of the piss-poor performance and crashes (on a rig that far exceeds min requirements).

F*** Japanese game business practices, f*** so-called "AAA" games. This is getting old.

And f*** me for buying this game in the first place.

I understand for performance reasons but the micro transactions are for things that can be acquired in game.

@BassMan:

God damn that sucks.

I'm 4 hours into the game myself and my experience has been this:

All tests are 4K maxed out everything (including RT ofc).

4K native: 30-50 fps in towns, 40-60 fps outside of towns

4K DLSS2-Q: 50-80 fps in towns, 70-120 fps out of towns

I obviously prefer using DLSS2-Q, so after 4 hours of gameplay I'd say my average frame rate is probably 80-90fps somewhere or so.

Unfortunately there are hiccups as your post mentioned. SHame about the ghosting with DLSS3

For me, DLSS3 frame generation has been 100% flawless in every single game I have played with the exception of:

  • Star Wars Jedi Survivor (though I was able to mod the ghosting away so now it looks exactly the same as DLSS2 or native to me.
  • Hogwarts Legacy: Lots of ghosting here as well especially noticable in UI and grass areas. I have yet to find a fix for this, though it wasn't as bad as SW:JS though.

But Cyberpunk 2077, Plague Tale 2, COD:MW, The Finals, Alan Wake 2, etc (literally everyother DLSS3 game other than the two one games above) have been 100% problem free for me and I leave it on in all of those games.

FSR3 FG on the other hand is garbage. I was so excited to see TLOUP1 got FG update but god damn it felt jittery and stuttery as hell. 175 fps frame generated felt like 50 fps.

Yea my decision to put this on the back burner and jump into stalker console trilogy before I buy this looks like a wise one....if the Devs can't even be bothered to optimise any versions before release and can't use the huge power advantage of the series X has over the weakstation 5 then I can't be arsed to buy it free with my MS rewards......yet

It certainly doesn't help that Horizon FW is out on PC with double the fps on the same hardware and looks way better.

The PS5 is the best console version. Learn to read.

XB and PC count as one ecosystem due to both being MS. This puts PS5 as last place since it's not on Switch.

Wrong and wrong

1 the Steamdeck version exists

2. the Xbox Sereis S version exists

3. the Xbox Series X version exists

Alternate reality time is over

No clue who that is.

But I do know XBOX and PC fall under Microsoft, and if PC is best then MS is best and first place. Anyway I'm glad the DLSS3FG mod is out been playing this game 80-120fps 4K.

PS5 version is COOKED.

Again, in your own bullshit reality you've made for yourself to cope with Sony's success🤣Most games that have a 60fps mode run at the most popular pc resolution, which is 1440p🤣and none of them run at low🤣🤣🤣

Keep building that reality of yours if it helps you sleep at night.🤣

which is 1440p🤣

Usually 1080 or upscaled 1080 to 1440p, all for a measly 50-60fps. But rest assured we were discussing 4k and 1440p upscaled to 4k which is 30 fps on Piss5. Like DD2.

@BassMan: Dude the game is playable for the master race now.

I downloaded Puredark's FG mod.

I run 4K/120 DLSS3-Q locked with very few dips (still north of 100fps) in open areas / combat and in the biggest town I have visited thus far the lowest dip I got was 83 fps.

Its not perfect, but from what I have learned dips/hitches exist in almost every game.

Only problem is the ghosting issues... if only they can fix that.

Better to just wait for optimization patches. No need to play the game right away. Plenty of other good games to play while you wait.

The game runs like ass but have you seen all the physics that happen at once when your ox cart is ambushed by a troll before a griffin and then a ton of random NPCs all start fighting at the same time? It's insane. The performance in town is inexcusable though.
