seems like a meaty update! looking forward to giving this a try. As it has been for every game this gen. You are better playing your back catalogue and picking all games up a few months after launch.

Absolutely, I rarely buy games at launch these days. A few months later means cheaper price and better content updates.
 
Platinum'd it. Will take a while before I want to revisit this game, but NG+ it is by then. And maybe relax a little and go from Lethal to Medium or whatever.

So this is why it hasn't been discounted yet, they're still paying for it. Will wait for a steep discount…have plenty to play atm.

So what's the best mode to use on Pro now? I've just been using the RT Pro mode.
If you have a VRR display, then just unlock the framerate with "Smoothed" to keep the high resolution. If you don't mind slightly lower resolution, then go with "Uncapped" which should be noticeably smoother to play. If no VRR, stick to RT Pro.

Why isn't this standard by now? Its a toggle addition. Infuriating as a VRR 120fps TV owner.

Anyways, results are damn good:

Again, this should be standard by now for all games.

  • Smoothed
  • Uncapped
what?
Smoothed- more stable framerate and minimal resolution drop. Hovers slightly above 60 most of the time. Likely at maximum resolution within DRS window.

Uncapped- Maximum frame rate possible (up to 120 fps) within DRS window. So likely minimum resolution within DRS window most of the time, unless a scene is CPU bound or hits 120 fps.
 
It's kinda wild that they added a skip option for one of the only mini games this game has.
Shows how badly designed they really are

Same for lighting your bonfire or cooking stuff

It's cute the first time, but having to do it everytime? They give you the option to skip them, but shouldnt even be an option considering how unfun they are

you dont have to do them every time. Most time if you camp, you will get it maybe 1 out of 5 times or more
 
Already finished the campaign.

Paid more to have a lesser experience.
As it's on sale
Glad it's out for the new people.

Modern gaming is cooked
