Tears of Nintendo
Capcom looking into PC issues...

I mean, c'mon, it's not 2059 where CPUs are advanced enough to deal with such a complex NPC systems. JFC, Capcom. There needs to be settings to switch all this shit off, reduce the amount of NPC, etc. etc.

Despite the CPU issues in the cities the game's sense of discovery may be one of the longest I have ever experienced. Right up there with other classics that if I name someone is going to lose their mind over.

One weirdly nice thing is if you are like me and spend a ton of time NOT IN the city, the drops don't come up near as often. I found myself wilderness bound a huge amount of my gameplay time.

Hmm, I'm still not sold on this, I tried the original one late last year and it was interesting but it was also something I felt I could easily drop

Watching a few reviews, it just feels like other games have done this better, for example I think I'd rather do a replay of Elden Ring than play this, which is looking inferior to it tbh

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
My 3060 isn't even going to run this at 1080p/30fps, is it?
 
Nvidia will fix this with drivers

What CPU do you use?

Game runs like shit at launch and is getting 9/10s

This shit has to stop. I'm sure it's a great game but just ignoring performance issues and throwing around 9s like candy is why we games keep launching like this.
On the contrary, journos lowering scores because of performance, is piss poor critiquing and glosses over actual art and design. Performance varies on so many different levels and can be patched up easily and/or simply fixed by upgrading your hardware.
Large games will forever launch like this, otherwise they will never come out.

Excited to check your review once lunch time rolls around my dude.

I thought this game is gonna be much longer. Not saying 25-30 hours is not enough, but expected a much larger game. Maybe those times are rushed playthroughs 🤷‍♂️ anyway im gonna wait with this for further patches. Im still deep into FF7

I'm predicting a solid B+. The clunkiness will turn off some people, mostly if they're used the fluidity of the Souls series. Monster Hunter is also clunky, and I feel got a similar rating for this reason. Overall, will be a great game!

I've stopped even looking at reviews any more. The amount of hyperbole is ridiculous - everything is the best thing ever, or the worst thing... Waste of my time.

looks like the game is hitting 40fps a lot more frequently than PS5 in the open world according to that video posted. The game seems to hit 30/31 indoor during that cave battle.

Can’t wait to play. Been waiting a long time for
This one. Hopefully they patch a 1080/60 patch or even a 40fps mode (doubtful)

I did warn people. The reason most games aren't designed like Dogma is because its running constantly under worst-case scenarios for load balancing. You need a massive power surplus to work around it.

The game uses ray-Tracing for global illumination on PC, PS5 and XSX. Xbox Series S does not have ray-tracing. This setting does not affect shadows and reflections.- Ray-tracing cannot be disabled on PS5/XSX.

Told ya
And that makes me happy.

Lots of PC talk for this great console game.
It's pathetic, I'm genuinely convinced PC players don't actually play games they just get them for benchmarks to stroke their tiny dick egos that their 5000$ rig can run a game at 400fps but I guess they have to do something with their time in these threads now that most console games come to PC and they don't have to beg for them at every turn like they used to.

Bitching seems to be the PC master race creed 😂

Some guy in here was even complaining that the reviews are unfair to give the game a 9/10 because the game is unplayable and broken...lmao he's probably complaining about real life being a slideshow after doing a 120fps playthrough of the Nvidia benchmark.

Its fucking 30 fps people... we've lived with it for generations, it's not crashing your PC for goodness sake.

Glad to see such good reviews. Hopefully it is not a Starfield situation. I am sure a few patches and driver updates will improve performance. Standard PC gaming at this point. I just am not ready to pay $70 for a game yet and will wait.

Early game NG+ footage and some spoilers in menus showing the map and enemies lists.

He's playing on a monster pc and gets 60 to 90fps maxed settings with dlss. Without dlss it was down to 30. Performance on weaker rigs is his only real concern. Otherwise incredibly positive and is his current goty pick.

"You’ll be doing lots of backtracking and exploring on foot, as there’s very little in the way of convenient fast traveling."

God Im so sick of this shit. What year are we in? This is exactly what turned me off of the first game.
There's no shortage of open world games that let you cut out travel using menus. DD does something different and tries to make travel meaningful.

Game ain't for you, go play something else
