carlospie Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Forza is so good. I had a quick game on it today that ended up as a three hour session. The old cars are the best bezzing around in an Audi Quattro and Peugeot 106 is miles more fun than the super cars. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kayin Amoh Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Is Greedfall supposed to have been updated to 60fps? Doesn't feel like it, I just redownloaded it last night. There's seemingly no options to have an FPS boost or performance mode or whatever like there is in games like Alien Isolation or their first party stuff. 1.0.2.0's the version I have, no available updates for it.

deerokus Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 There should be a performance mode option (under game options iirc). Unless it somehow hasn't patched for you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was it, thanks - was looking in the dashboard game menu for an FPS boost style option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye that option is only for games which haven't been updated, but had the system level boosts applied. Greedfall has a proper series x version.

I downloaded it today and my 11 year old daughter took an instant liking to it. She played it online for about an hour and was laughing the whole time. From my time observing the game, it seems to play like a cross between Human Fall Flat and Sumo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmo Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Just spent an hour on Doom Eternal at 120fps. It certainly benefits from it more than Nioh does but I'm still not entirely convinced it's all that over 60. My poor beating heart, the game is insane. It doesn't quite feel right on controller and would obviously be better on mouse and keyboard but it's still amazing fun. I bounced off it first time I tried it but an hour in and I'm hooked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benny Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 I find my eyes can't really tell the difference beyond about 90fps. It probably varies between people a bit. 60fps seems like the smoothness/shinies sweet spot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isaac Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 I can tell the difference in a competitive FPS game between 60 and 144 fps. That's the only type of game where anything above 60 is worthwhile though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad that you’re finding it fun, though. Perhaps at 41 I shouldn’t have played a game aimed at 4 year olds. My bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post deerokus Posted July 2, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 2, 2021 Obsession with multilayer games being about skill and competitive balance is one of the worst things in gaming. Sure, if your game is meant to be some esports nonsense but for the rest of us, fun is the main factor. Give me gang beasts or chivalry 2 over some toxic 'Skillbased' sweatfest any day. 29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cassidy Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Multiplayer just used to be about taking the piss and having a laugh with ya mates. Case in point. Stick on any of the monkey Ball minigames. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, 'skill based' may have been over-egging it. I just don't like clumsy games, such as this, and Human Fall Flat. I'm a big fan of multiplayer party games, though - agreed ref Super Monkey Ball above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
