I will have to get 1 & 2 on emulation, I don't think Sony offers any other way to play them on PS5.
It's both. The PS3 games were able to do those things because they had a fixed camera view and tiny arenas. This game features wide open worlds and continues to push visuals on par with other last gen games. You can see what happened with Bayonetta 3 when devs said fuck it to the limitations of the consoles and pushed massive setpieces. It came at the cost of visuals. SSM cant afford to do that because everything still has to look sufficiently on par with last gen standards.
It gets way better from that point onwards. Keep playing. His combat gets better too thanks to some cool NPCs complimenting his abilities.
If you do the crucible challenges yes
It felt like a whole expansion added to the game, thoroughly enjoyed that area.
You mean 2007. ;p david jaffe directed the first game.
I have to agree with DF. There are indeed long loading times on PS5 and too many of them. Going through the transport door walking around until the next door appears. Every 10 minutes squeezing through crevices or ducking through tunnels that mask loading. It’s crazy.
Those are two different things. Transport doors are very fast after you have exhausted all the dialogue options they put in to fill the loading. The sequeezing through cracks are plentiful but they are due to the game design being held back by the PS4. The loading times in the transport doors are litearlly 1-4 seconds once you hit the end game and they dont have any dialogues for you. You can test it this out yourself. It depends on how big the level is. If you go to nilfheim to the odin tree. It's a second max. An open world area might take 3-4 seconds. But it's not 20 seconds like he said.
It's very uncharted in that way. I think the first one had a better balance where Mimir would tell you stories while you were in a boat. But now because of the side quests being more story driven, there are people constantly talking. Its even worse in story missions. Kratos, Freya and Mimir are constantly yapping away in Freya's story mission giving her advice which is so unlike Kratos. Then you have Brock going on about Freyr. There is literally 4 people talking constantly in that level. What's weird is that despite all the unskippable cutscenes, all the yapping away during the levels, they STILL have forced walking sections. I really dont understand this. If you have to spend that much time telling a very simple story, if you need to write that much dialogue to make your characters relatable then you've already failed. Ive taken screenwriting classes and they teach you to be judicious with your words because you only have 120 pages to tell 2 hour story. Maybe video game developers shouldnt have to spend 6 hour cutscenes plus 2 hours of walking sections and another 20 hours of talking during gameplay to tell a decent story.
I am telling you my experience and how it has happened for me. It's too much.
Those transport doors are annoying as F and they could have been skipped out of the PS5 version altogether (however they are used for exposition, so removing them would have been pretty complex in the end)... but sometimes there is no exposition, so they should be skipped 90% of the time.
I agree with this.
And Ragnarok just destroys Asgard and not the whole northern plain/continent...
