Amazing OT title.

 

[Luipadre]

Gonna play an hour or so tonight before sleep and im off for the next 2 days

Shit developer. Why went golden when you know the game haven't cooked yet

Because the publisher sets the release date, which the developer absolutely has to make even if things can still be improved.

Pretty basic stuff.

Going gold just means the minimum acceptable standard -per the publisher's requirements- has been met.

 

[GudOlRub]

The day one patch is already up to everyone as well it seems.
It began downloading as soon as I installed the game.

Are you playing on base or pro?

Base

 

[Hollywood Hitman]

Good thing they fired the pieces of shit that needed fired but that aside I'm pretty fucking stoked to get back in the world of this series. I a few months back platinumed Ghost of tsushima and man what a good time so this will be a treat.

 

[GymWolf]

Gs just send me an sms where they told me that i can pick my copy...tomorrow

 

[Arsic]

Digital future is so based.

I'll be home in 30 minutes then it's balls out with some code red Mountain Dew and this game. Will also boot up some FFT ivalice chronicles.

Work can suck my dick the next few days.

 

[Topher]

Holy shit.....the game was shipped from Gamefly already. I figured it would be a while

Wait, is it already unlocked for your region??

Nope. Never seen a Sony launch that is at night the day of. Weird fucking choice.

Oh well ff tactics all day it is then.

Ummmm... it's Oct 1st today...

 

[Nocty]

heads up. Beautiful.

 

[LoveCake]

Hyped for this game.

 

[geary]

Playing on performance.

 

[GudOlRub]

Man the intro alone is so badass already...
That's what I love about these games, Tsushima didn't have fancy graphics either but the artstyle makes up for it.

Meanwhile Shadows' idea of cool was to have hip-hop beats playing while playing with Yasuke...

Oh well, I feel like this is going to be good.

 

[viveks86]

Lol. Getting his ass handed to him it seems. Had to scale back difficulty in the tutorial section!

 

[Mendax89]

Ghost of ANTIFA.
Not buying it.

Really? Cohh usually play everything on max difficulty even if they fuck him up, this is out of character...

 

[Arsic]

Geenerally the games launch at midnight local time. So this should've launched last night as when October 1st officially hit. That's when all other Sony titles do or games in general.

This is an odd one picking the night of when it'll be closer to October 2nd by the .

 

[viveks86]

Yeah he died like 5 times and gave up on lethal. Playing on hard now and doing well since then. He was still learning the basics, like what the button is to heal or dodge, so I think he got too impatient. Could have just figured it out after a few more tries.

Game releases on the 2nd. Not the 1st. Unless I've completely misunderstood you, I think you have the dates wrong.

You decided to jump in?

You'll find I'm a full blown retard.

I thought it released October 1st.

Gonna go back to eating crayons now.

 

[Markio128]

I'm WFH tomorrow, so I could chance a cheeky hour before bed. Then again, I think I may have caught the lurgy, so maybe not.

 

[GudOlRub]

Watching the sunrise from the top of Mt Yotei is legit one of the prettiest things I've seen in games this year, goddamn. It rivals some of Death Stranding 2's vistas. Too bad I don't have anything to capture footage from consoles with better quality, these images don't do it justice.

Spoiler

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

DLC am i right?

 

[Nocty]

the game is noticably harder than the original, like by a big margin.

Nice to play.

 

[R3TRO]

Working late tonight then get to come home to this. I'm almost hyped.

I too caught the man flu. it's been going about the uk this week. absoultely feel like shit.

 

[Luipadre]

1 hour 20 minutes

 

[ShaiKhulud1989]

Cannot wait (for money to buy this cuz my side gig kinda fell through)

 

[DavidGzz]

Says 7 hours for me. I cri erytiem

 

[Skifi28]

I caved in and bought it you fuckers, it's all on you now.

 

[Raven117]

Fuck it. I'll give this a go. Like the moron that I am.

I mean, pretty scenery, a great soundtrack can make a fine game (See Far Cry 5).

 

[FalsettoVibe]

 

[GudOlRub]

I do have one complaint already though.
Whenever you're riding a horse the aspect ratio changes to look more cinematic I guess. There's no option to disable it currently...

I don't remember this happening in Tsushima or have I forgotten?

 

[viveks86]

I see that these are jpgs and super compressed. Best way is to change PS5 settings to save as PNG and then share via playstation app or copy to USB. The app works great on mobile, so you can then download it from the app and upload to GAF. That preserves the quality.

Yeah a couple of reviews mentioned that as well. Not sure what exactly triggers that as there is plenty of footage where that's not the case. Perhaps if there is no objective and you are in pure exploration mode? Or don't have an active quest enabled? Not sure.

I did use the app but that was the max quality I managed to get out of it.
Strange. Gotta take a look at the settings.

Switching to PNG might do the trick, then. Check in settings

 

[Embearded]

Enjoy!

I hope i can get it tomorrow.
There is a big electormics store in the same building i work but when i asked them if i would be able to pick it up on release day in case i pre ordered they said they could not guarantee it, which is lame.
So i decided to just get there on the morning and hope for the best

 

[GudOlRub]

Think I found it, it was capturing the shots in HDR which defaulted the format to JPG...

Thanks for the help!

 

[Topher]

I said I was going to rent it eventually and not buy it. I thought it would be a while before it got shipped to me with the way Gamefly works.

 

[knguyen]

Gonna wait for PC release. Enjoy people.

 

[DavidGzz]

Looks like even some of the haters broke down. Time heals all wounds.
