More on Ghost of Tsushima. I've been loving this game so much. As Fabrico said, I'm having a hard time concentrating on the main story quests, I just keep getting lost in the beauty of it. I find myself just wandering around looking at shit. I'm on a 6yo PS4, I can't imagine this on a PS4 Pro on a huge 4K tv.
And photo mode, good fucking lord. I'm constantly pausing and taking pictures, hahaha
- style looks amazing, but graphics look a bit like switch to me. still cant wait to play it when have time again.inteliboy
- Hmmm, I have a ps4 pro and 4k tv... May just have to get thisSteveJobs
- Dang i need to pick this upscarabin
- Excited to try this out, it’s sitting next to the ps4 unwrapped till I finish tlou2.ben_

- Nice composition!scarabin
- Thanks! The photo mode is amazing, there's so much control! More shots from this and other games:

Oof, I don't think I can finish Death Stranding. I'm pretty close to half way through, but I'm basically done playing. I knew it was gonna be more RPG'ish, and not another Metal Gear. Which , is fine, I like RPG's.
But, man, this game is just boring. And some parts are just annoying (like when you're getting near a full load and have to balance). Plus, the very few moments of combat feel half baked, and your boy is clumsy.
It started out pretty good, and the story definitely sucked me in. But, I've got half the network connected and it's just going nowhere. Wish I would have waited for this to be half off.
- The storytelling is good but the gameplay is tediousscarabin
- I wanted to like this game but it's just too much of a grind. I lost interest about 15/20 hours in.thumb_screws
- stick to the main missions and avoid the cruft, I parked it for a bit and finish it some time later in rush modeernexbcn
- use an online guide if you need, check the eurogamer one I think it sticks to the main missionsernexbcn
- Tip (and something I've never heard anyone mention online) Use both shoulder buttons always when walking to balance. I only tripped twice in ~80hrs of gameplaySteveJobs
- And honestly, the game really picks up through the story later on around the time deadman's character develops (imo).SteveJobs
- just about finished...jaylarson
- It was definitely a grind, but I think it was worth it, and I found it a nice break from the standard fare. Took on new meaning in quarantine.ben_
- I hear people ignore the story and just keep building roadsdrgs
- There's only so much highway you can build. I did the first section and about 80% of the second and then i just concentrated on the story missions.SteveJobs

Just because this is worth (32.33) repeating, get some chicken:
- a 1080p version of a 144p videoplash
- Even though it's staged, you can't top that battle cry.garbage

2 just out on PS4; been out elsewhere forever... How are they?!
Cuphead
&
Skater XL
- Cuphead is a visual treat but also incredibly fucking difficult, rewarding when you beat the bosses, soul destroying when you don’tBluejam
- Man, I wish Session was coming to ps4, it's soooo much better than sxl. and yeah cuphead is amazing but so hard. sekiro hard.ben_
- I've been playing both sxl and session on geforcenow for a while and even with the lag and a bad connection, it's better than the PS4 version.ben_
- It'll scratch your itch for a skate game, but it's glitchy as hell and pretty limited.ben_
- The trick to Cuphead is co-op. When it's your time to die, you get to take in the scenery. The overwhelming difficulty is saved by artistic steez.garbage

The long-awaited PC port of Horizon Zero Dawn is pure fucking rickety garbage held together with seagull shit and pubic hair.
It plays absolute merry fucking havoc with your GPU - it actually managed to destroy Firefox *and* the Adobe Creative Cloud do-dah that runs in the System Tray; which was a new one for me - like, in all my years using computers I have never seen that one before or even anything approaching it. Outstanding!
So it starts with numerous crashes on startup while it compiles the shaders. Ok, other games do that - saves time in the long run compiling during the game itself. Cool. No problemo. Wait! No! The game then decides to throw bizarre CPU / GPU bottlenecks that can't be immediately diagnosed unless you are actually a computer yourself and can speak in binary. Even then the resulting answer would be just a long fart noise and a crude drawing of a dog's penis. Graphical options that appear to make no discernable difference to the image quality other than you can make the grass nicer while tanking the framrate into the low 30's? Not forgetting framepacing issues all over the fucking shop that turn the characters into a cross between Max Headroom and Bill and Ben on Mogadon.
Holy Christ. Just... a monumental piece of digital fuckery. My PC is a few years old, but it has a workhorse i7 and a 1070 - waaaaaaay more than the original PS4 game was designed to run on and enough for the basic operating specs, yet it just shits the bed with enough shit to fill a kingsize inflatable matress.
Death Stranding, which uses a revised version of the same engine, can run on a fucking clockwork potato and Guerilla are no slouches when it comes to pulling performance from lowly hardware.
Just avoid it. Watch the recent Digital Foundry video to see some of the things I am talking about, but with less swearing and in a polite German accent.
- haha that was a fun read. Sucks on your end tho.dopepope
- haha, a wonderful read!Nairn
- Fucking ace game though if you ever get it to workscarabin
- "if you ever get it to work" ahhasted
- Well i played through it on ps4 pro so didn’t have any issues. The DLC is fun, tooscarabin
- I got it to run without crashing every four goddam minutes and spedrun through the goblin intro and made a save. Fuck knows how though. Magic?face_melter
- I played it on the PS4 so I was looking forward to revisiting it, especially the late game. But the frame stuttering is jank. Primo gold jank from QVC.face_melter
- i'm going to try this on my 2y old i7 with 2x1080 8g, me hopes that it's going to crash af :Dsted
- The crashes are amazing, you might be in for some extra-special fun with 2 GPU's :Dface_melter
- It will be patched I hopeernexbcn
- This, sadly, is the case of many games that arrived on console first. RDR2 wasn't this bad, but there were tons of glitches on release.section_014
- Best game review I’ve ever read. PlusonenoRGB
- It has some really annoying features like: loads "shaders" for 15 mins. constant stuttering/jitter during the cutscenes (wtf its just playing a movie or not? )sted
- and when u enter some big fight at an area with lots of details fps drops down sometimes to 10!%. sheet i looks nice, but I lost my patience after an hour.sted
- i'm going wait for that patchsted
- I did some checking and if you use the SpecialK limiter tool it reduces the stutter - not completely. The shaders thing is part of DX12 / Vulkan.face_melter
- It compiles them before the game loads so it doesn't do it during gameplay and cause problems, especially for open workd titles where everything streams in.face_melter

couple of thoughts ...
8 bit mode looks great @1:09
fuck permadeath, too old for that shit... but they missed some tricks,
should have brought in a co-op mode, Seattle Day One map is perfect for 'endless hordes/survival mode' and an option to replay the game in chronological order- co-op mode isn't easy to do unless a game is designed for it from the start. Network code, how the ai reacts to two players, scripted sequences etcNutter
- are just the tip of the icebergNutter
- No doubt there will be a complete version for PS5.face_melter
- def going to play this again with all the updates on eventual ps5 version. hope they release some dlc or multiplayer...inteliboy
