I'm on perf mode using a C9 and it's not that horrid for me. Sure it's there, but it's not preventing me from playing.

Same. I've reduced brightness and highlights in HDR that helps a lot. I'm fine with it now. Still cannot stomach 30fps though.

What about going outside game mode and using motion pro? OLEDs response times should still be good enough to play games.

Haven't tried that. Will check it out. Thanks.

Me as well. The more I play the more I see the faults but also the more I see just how well it's done that I don't care about the faults as much.
I've hit over 50 percent completion, not sure how many hours but it's going to be slower now that I'm back to the daily work grind. Wont have as much time to play like the past 4 days solid. I've stayed away from the main story quests and have been enjoying the sides.

Please don’t label me as a concern troll. I was one of the first to raise the immovable vegetation because it felt incongruous with such visual fidelity otherwise, and I stand by what I said.
We’re now at post release and that got fixed and I’m a happy camper.

Not to mention that shit like makes it look weird, it also decreases the brightness.

You can use low levels of interpolation to avoid soap opera effect. I didn't notice a brightness hit.

yes i rushed that tends to happen when side quest are boring.
also elden ring is out soon. None of the so called rpg systems mattered. it's all clutter. I really don't get how people don't poke through this.

yeah, I'm in the same boat right now. I too stopped doing side stuff because I wanna get done before Elden Ring drops.
the RPG systems and sidequests also really started to bore me.

I’ve been playing since it dropped and I’m still in chainscrape doing every single side quest and taking it all in. The side quests are actually pretty amazing If you take on the story and don’t just skip everything turning them into meaningless fetch quests. You’d be surprised the story bits you can pick up and the history the npcs tell you through doing side quests. Also off subject the music in this game is absolutely phenomenal.

As someone who really hates the shimmering, and GG having recognized it as a "thing"... do I stop the game until they push a patch or not? ....mhhhh....

I swear i did 100% (what i could do obv) in the first area. It was pretty bad imo. I guess each on their own but it felt like pointless boyscout shit. So after that i just went straight for the story content

I've done the tutorial and it does seem something I'd enjoy but not until after I've finished the main game at least. It's bad enough getting sidetracked with so many side quests, errands and collectibles without spending hours on this.

And yet I’m in the group that you called concern trolls. I think it’s better we leave to the mods to decide who is trolling and who isn’t but you do you.

After getting a level 27 shellsnapper thrown at me yday, I had a level 30 thunderjaw thrown at me for a level 15 quest. Sucks man. Yeah I get they laid up traps and left a ravager gun (which should have been easier to find/marked) but the AI help sucks and if you don't play the encounter the way they designed it, it takes fookin ages.

I would if it charged reliably. Usually I get a blast when I get a couple stealth kills then tag it on the boss or a machine, but if shit kicks off, feels like I can whack them for ages with no glow.

dude, all that shit is fake AF, it's more nauseating to me than 30fps. Like Vincent from HDTVtest said, it should be illegal.

Better stop watching 24fps content on sample and hold displays then since it's unavoidable there's some motion interpolation going on.

Comparing gaming and watching some content is just wrong on so many levels I don't know if it's worth explaining to you.

Did you even watch the video that you're using to claim "dishonesty"?
Does anyone else find it ironic that you're doing so and not exactly being truthful about what the video shows and says?
First off, nothing there is "signficantly different" and second, they added a bit of cutscenes in the state of play to make it feel more encapsulated as you know ... a demo. The situation that happens in the demo doesn't actually fit within the final retail game, but they wanted the small demo to tell a story as well, vs just having a player jumping around without context. Do you not understand that?
Yeah there are lighting differences, and some layout differences, but that's all they are. Differences. Not downgrades. And the retail actually looks better to me, far more realistic and much sharper (though that could be a result of YouTube compression on the state of play). As the video maker showed you can pretty much duplicate the look and path of the demo if you want to by changing the time of day, though some colors were changed etc.
When speaking of being "dishonest" I suggest you examine your own posts first. Sony's reveal of this game ended up being not only accurate to the final release, but not as good. And you're sitting here people shouldn't "fall for it." The only thing they shouldn't be falling for is the content of your posts.

It's good enough to eliminate most(if not all) of the stutter and I the response time doesn't take too much of a hit, I don't see the problem in using it.

Yes, not all forms of motion interpolation are bad, no matter what Vincent Teoh says.

Unlike TLOU2 this actually has a good and memorable OST. Seriously there are some damn good ones here.

How have people completed this in 20 hours? I'm up to 28 and haven't even done AETHER yet. I've done the ruins and two cauldrons I've found and some of the side stuff and had a few skirmishes when I've found a new monster.
Also I didn't realise you could upgrade valors. Was wondering why the three circles didn't fill in

Live from NeoGAF, it's Friday Night!
My guess would be story difficulty with a focus on the main story line while avoiding optional dialog.

The single player campaign of Horizon can be completed in around 5-6 hours if you only do the story missions.

Hype Train conductor. Works harder than it steams.
This, the audio and music is fantastic in this game.
And the surround is extremely good.
I not usually impressed by game surround sound as it never touches movies.
But they nailed the position and distance of everything.
First time I've heard a barrel roll towards the middle of the screen and it actually sounded real.
And that Pulse Blast
I'm sure my neighbor's are wondering what the fuck that is
I’m about 41% through the game at level 35 on Very Hard which is the same sort of difficulty as the first but with much harder enemy types.
Despite some flaws and lack of polish keeping it from perfection, it’s an excellent sequel that ends up slightly better than HZD though it is held back by the PS4 which limits the design in more ways than one.
The music is on point and the situational implementation stands out very well whether you’re riding, fighting, delving or exploring the over world. I find the voice acting to be phenomenal with a particular standout to the actors of Zo and Kotallo who give real depth to their characters but even the minor side quest ones are well acted, giving each character a unique identity. The game could do with a limit to the number of times Aloy mentions she sends something to her stash (like once every load up or a timer of 20 minutes) and maybe an extra minute before an audio cue hint to puzzles.
The graphics are amazing but from how quickly they’ve implemented a patch, the game could have used a month of polishing to get rid of minor but noticeable issues that mar the jaw dropping visuals. As with the first game, I can’t stop taking screenshots of the visuals and small details.
Gameplay-wise it’s an evolution from the previous game though they did consciously try to create a game that focusses on challenging people that mastered the mechanics of the previous one. Virtually everything the player abused to their advantage got nerfed so as to offer more challenge and variety in play styles, however the result is over-engineered since the progression is heavily walled by the loot system to just access different weapon and ammunition types.
Due to this it’s hard to tell if all weapons are equally valuable to use.
I don’t see an issue with the climbing other than they should widen the visual gap between what cliff faces can and can’t be climbable. I don’t use the focus for the most part and can go by visual cues but there’s also plenty of areas where I’m somewhat confused as to where to start without using the focus.
The game is a direct successor to the previous game and is actually a lot more challenging, so it’s no wonder they ended up handing out free downloads last year. The more recent and familiar someone is to HZD and Frozen Wilds story and gameplay the better their overall experience.
I love all of the new enemies and the difficulty they introduce. It also looks like there are also random over-world spawns that add variety and challenge to encounters.
Quests are plentiful, unique and well-acted with characters possessing unique identities that flesh out the world and lore. I really can’t get enough of the world Guerrilla created and am already looking forward to a sequel on more capable hardware.
Definitely a must buy for fans of the original, and for those new to the series it’s recommended to play the previous before this one because I can’t imagine the story beats would land well. Experiences are much better having played through them than reading in game bios or an online wiki.
