quickhacking was essentially game-breaking after a while and for me it made the game really dull. Because you basically find a camera and then click delete on everyone to kill them. Murder by proxy

Or you can make them fight each other as you spectate their tragic and mindless double-crossings, which for me never gets old.

I know 60fps is of course smoother but some of the posts here make it sound totally unplayable at 30fps. I haven’t load it up yet of course but this video looks fine in my eyes? Hopefully it will be ok when I try it as well, (at least for my eyes).
 

 

It's different when you're on foot and in tighter spaces though. Plus there's no real quick camera pans in that video.

Unless they’ve seriously rebalanced it you’ll find it happens anyway. The only real way to avoid it is not to spend any perk points on combat.

yeah Crit builds become broken quickly, worth spending perks on faster reload time, being able to reload while sprinting and sliding etc, faster ADS etc for snap-headshots

 

i finally found an Overture but I’m not allowed to use it until level 8 (I’m level 4 right now)

Been waiting for this patch. Was loving it and played a very decent chunk, am on PC so no real big problems but I thought it was such a quality game that I'd let them do a bit more cooking. Glad to be back at it, forgot how much I enjoyed the world.

 

PC seems to have lost a few fps but I guess that's due to fixing some things that now look better but require a bit more juice. Either way, all maxed including RT and DLSS at balanced, 1440p 60fps. Little bit of DLSS sharpening and it sure is a stunner.

 

No way I'm finishing before Elden Ring or the new Horizon, though.

 

EDIT* Ooer, my perks have reset. Guess it's intentional? Off for a read up.

I don’t understand - what use are these with katanas?

You should play Sekiro.

I’ve watched videos of it, nothing of interest there for me.

It’s the best katana action there is!

Any info on whether the new patch has improved load times on current-gen consoles?

You do you boo, as I've mentioned many times I'm all about the big fat revolver - if it doesn't work, you can always hit him with it.

I haven't played that, but Ghost of Tsushima is pretty satisfying. Kind of boring outside of the action though. Nothing like proudly strolling into an encampment and giving them the good news.

Recommending a PlayStation game to my boy JPL is like buying straight porn as a wedding gift for a gay couple, don't do it!

If you like Souls level combat, although to me it’s better, but arguably tougher, then definitely give it a go.

Don’t be daft, I’ve played loads of PlayStation games recently. Such gems as Bloodborne, Spider-Man, Miles Morales and God of War. I’m even considering getting the new Horizon game after Elden Ring.

I played Demon's Souls when I got my PS5 and I thought it was super boring, so I rinsed Control and forgot all about it.

Any returning players noticed any improvements in the balancing?

I'm waiting for my favourite mod authors to chime in on the subject before continuing with my game.

 

Until then I'll be keeping my head down with both work and miniature painting.

 

If mods aren't an option for you then I do believe that a lot of the more problematic values have been toned down, if Reddit is telling the truth.

[ZOK]

Yes, I’m playing it now and can confirm they’ve screwed this on Stadia - it’s gone from having beautiful detail and resolution in frame rate mode to everything looking terrible. If you switch it to visuals mode it looks good again, but then the frame rate is awful.

the dream is over

It was always too good to be true.

1) It’s in 3rd person.

2) It’s not set in 2077.

@ZOKStadia users will be fuming 

[ZOK]

We didn’t even need a patch!
 

Maybe it will sort itself out, but being honest I’ve had more than enough fun out of it already, I won’t be missing out by not going back to it.

This is how they pay you after a year of being the single rider of stadia users

[ZOK]

Indeed! If they do anything to screw up Saints Row 4 I shall really be fuming!

This is exactly what Google do though isn't it? I mean, I'm staggered they've kept on going with the bloody Pixel phones, as everything else they've done has seen them go from super-excited and world changing to lost behind the sofa never to be seen again.

 

Never buy into a Google thing unless it's software it seems.

Not sure if it's because I'm rusty but just did a shootout alongside Panam and died several times. Sure during my pre patch play I was a total killing machine and could stand out in the open and blast punks into space without much fear. So, maybe they've tweaked difficulty?

 

I hope so because pre patch I remember it becoming a little too easy after a few hours in.

 

I welcome some extra challenge.

[ZOK]

I think it’s definitely been made harder.

 

There’s also some shenanigans with the police again, I drove halfway across Night City trying to lose my wanted stars but I couldn’t because cops kept spotting me.

 

Which is how it should work…but it’s not how I want it to work.

[Oz]

They’ve made it so that running and gunning is more viable I heard. But maybe the particular guns you are using were nerfed.

Stadia made more difficult too! They fucking hate Google with a passion.

 

edit: also, big dick option removed on the platform!
