Its good. Not perfect, but better than I expected.
Headphones definitely recommended, a halfway decent Atmos home theater system sounds great but I still picked up subtle sounds better with even just bluetooth headphones.
Ambience is very much on point. Dialogue is a good mix of well-acted, and a tad “off” like the original. Angela and Eddie seem faithfully redone, so far. James too honestly.
Apartments were a nice change-up from the original, not too different thematically but still essentially a whole new layout, not at all a copy and paste job. Showdown with big knife guy was a big departure, though. Not sure if better or worse, but different from the original
Some graphical glitches (something like ghosting of the fog around objects moving on the screen, also flashes of light in the distance) sometimes that are frankly unacceptable for a $70 game, especially a game of this sort of mood, but hopefully they get those patched soon.
Combat is not exactly great. Nor was it in the original, to be fair. The dodging mechanic is a bit much, and at least on the hardest combat difficulty, it feels like you gotta already be familiar with enemy attack patterns, since it doesn’t give you much chance to learn and survive. But it does all feel learnable, so we’ll see if I just need to get gooder.
Steam achievement notifications at least one broke immersion for me, I might try to mute those next time I play.
But overall I’m very eager to resume playing after work, I left off after the apartments (and stayed up far too late doing so!)

Regardless, why bother running or using a short URL service? QR codes can easily hold a full URL and more, and QR codes are not (nor are they meant to be) human readable, so what’s the benefit?
- Comment on a few centuries 1 month ago:
what’s the difference?
- Comment on I have the weirdest aesthetic preferences 1 month ago:
Why is that ideal? Seems more prone to problems if the short URL service shuts down or suffers outages.
- Comment on I have the weirdest aesthetic preferences 1 month ago:
yeah, qr codes have different levels of error correction that you can specify, could very be well turned up to the max
or the url has a ton of tracking params appended to it for some reason

Gotcha. For sure the jump from 30fps to 60fps is a lot more significant than a jump from 60 to 120+

All that stuff about exclusive games just sounds like sunk cost fallacy. I don’t understand how a consumer benefits in any way from exclusive titles, or how a consumer is harmed from having access to multiplatform games.
If someone gets a PS5 for a PS5 exclusive game, why wouldn’t they want the option to play other games on there as well?
I do ultimately agree with you though, the PS5 Pro is dumb - and neither the regular PS5 nor any Xbox seems worthwhile compared to PC gaming

60 fps is good enough to justify the upgrade? Could build a PC capable of well beyond that for not much more…

I think everyone should ditch consoles too, but I don’t understand the “no games” comment, I’ve played through Elden Ring, Returnal, Final Fantasy 16, Final Fantasy 7 Intergrade, Ratchet & Clank, Gran Turismo 7…
There are clearly games for it, what gives?

I very much enjoy playing PC games with a controller on a big TV away from my desk. With an optical HDMI cable I’ve never had issues pushing 4k, 120hz, and HDR. Bluetooth mice and keyboards are incredibly common. And 8BitDo’s “Ultimate” controller has been really great over 2.4ghz.

The legality and external judgements of others are irrelevant to the question.
The concept of perversion is entirely based on the legality and external judgments of others, though. Even in your own example where 10 is being banned from communities as a result.

I’m so done buying console games, and consoles.
Not just because of this shit either. Games just run better on my PC. Like, a LOT better. Only thing I really use PS5 for anymore is playing blu-ray movies.

GREAT. I played much of it on PS5, and now that it’s out on PC I can play it with staggeringly better performance (granted, with a 4080 and 5800x3d).
Story is dark as shit, feels pretty Game of Thrones inspired in some ways. Compelling, though, and plenty of good and inspiring stuff to balance out the doom and gloom.
Combat is insanely fun. Graphics are stunning. Music is wonderful. Landscapes are full of cool high fantasy stuff. And the chocobos are quite handsome…

Handful of amusing and novel examples aside, generated art is an affront to han creativity and ought to be banned everywhere, or at the very least strictly relegated to its own spaces so it can be easily avoided
