These miserable fukks are on YouTube claiming the positive reviews were paid for. :dead: There's a certain demographic of gamers that are absolutely cancerous. They're a cult at this point & are trying to tank any game via word of mouth that they feel doesn't cater explicitly to them. When it comes to certain companies, they're on an agenda driven revenge tour and any negro getting swept up in it is a god damn moron.

Let them tell it, Days Gone was a classic, though. :dead:

I've definitely noticed a growing subset of miserable gamers. They hate everything and feel that all games should cater to what they want to see. Most of them don't even play the game they just post bad reviews to fit in with the crown. It's a weird bunch of people

:russ: The discourse in gaming is cooked. Almost every major release has some bs around. People rather complain about trivial shyt than play games.

Even Stellar Blade that was supposed to be the game they honored, being unapologetically for the ‘male gaze’ they ended up turning on for not showing enough coochie bone.

Alt-right incels won't stop until every piece of media centers and caters to the straight White male interest. They don't care that games are being sold for $70 riddled with terrible microtransactions, being rushed out unfinished, terrible online.etc. If it was up to them that stuff is ok as long as there is a buff, macho White guy as lead and Barbie blow up doll as his love interest lol.

It's stupid but these guys are chronically online and have been radicialized by grifters/pied pipers who seek to weaponize, capitalize and profit of their outrage. I blame Youtube, Steam forums, Twitch and X for this shyt really. They refuse to crack down and deplatform these rage baiters and that has led to these hives of chuds to fester and spill over.

Damn I watched a few videos and the hate and nitpicking is hilarious :russ:

All this dei and woke nonsense is here to stay brehs get used to it. I’m not that invested in the series anymore and I’m copping when it’s on sale but from what I heard it’s a good game just not a “Dragon Age” game. But each entry is different so that’s whatever.

Performance-wise, the story is pretty simple. The fidelity mode is pretty much a locked 30fps, at least in my experience. There's no frame-pacing weirdness here, and the game does a good job landing a consistent 30. It's possible the game may have slightly bigger issues later on, but I didn't encounter any problems in earlier sections. The performance mode is mostly a 60fps experience. But it does struggle slightly with periodic frame-rate drops, which tend to occur in certain cutscenes and environments. Demanding combat moments can also cause a brief dip here and there. It's not a perfect 60fps, and you can feel these frame-time intrusions occur a little more often than I'd like, but it's a pretty good performance level on the whole. All of this commentary applies in equal measure to both PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X versions, though Microsoft hardware has more intrusive screen-tear and perhaps isn't quite as stable under load.

PS5/Series X
-1080p (upscale to 4K) Quality mode with selective RT reflections and RTAO
-720p (upscale to 1440p) performance mode that can drop to as low as 504p.
-Uses FSR 2.2 (custom) and upscales….decently? According to Oliver.
-Good performance generally (It damn well better)
-Good hair.

Series S
-648p Quality mode with none of the RT features
-432p…Performance mode
-Not good hair.
