There are no ubisoft games in oct, so it's best if you stop and just do another month in nov when shadows is out, unless you wanna pay almost 20 euros to play nothing new.

I watched this video and the picture looks surprisingly sharp. Maybe the TV settings make a difference.

The game feels much better in the 60fps performance mode vs the 40fps 120fps mode despite the loss of image quality.

I think different areas probably show the quality drop more than others. I tried flicking between the modes right at the beginning and couldn't see much change - if anything. But on arriving to the first planet, I could see the resolution was lower for the first time - no idea if the resolution is dynamic in particular areas, but I didn't notice it before.
I also knocked down all the motion blur to zero, it's quite aggressive to my eye.

Yeah, I couldn't get the HDR to sit right, I noticed that some blacks were grey in places which prompted me to mess with it, but the darkest panel on the calibration screen is way too dark on my tv. If I pump the levels up enough, everything is blown out.

OMFG, I just hate this shit so much because when you have a banging ass HDR TV and the implementation is great.....it's amazing.

Yeah, I can't help but think they'll ship some sort of patch for it, I think from a player's point of view you'd assume it would be something that they'd just set and forget and it'd just work.
I guess, it's more complicated than that.
Didn't even notice.
I'm not saying you're wrong, but more and more I think that the difference between a terrible game and an enjoyable one is the wave of sentiment that accompanies it.

If you're on console you're at the mercy of the devs to fix it. If you're on PC you can try using reshade to lower the floor but I don't know if there's any side effects in doing that. I think we're in a much better place in 2024 regarding HDR (much more games have good to great implementations) but every now and then a dev fuck up and it's so frustrating. Hopefully Massive will look into it because black level floor is not raised in SDR so it just seems like something they overlooked.

agreed...
critiquing a game involves remaining at a remove, & constantly looking at what's there from the outside. while playing a game involves shutting everything else out, & getting involved in what's going on. higher sensitivity to graphical/technical 'imperfections' therefore results in more shifting from playing mode to critiquing mode, which results in a paradigm where, basically, personal ignorance of the majority of the multiple graphical/technical 'imperfections' of almost any given game can often result in personal bliss...
&, to the extent we're just talking about something as relatively unimportant as a bunch of dumb video games here, where's the harm in that?...

Check cleared. David Jaffe now loves this game and calls it his GOTY after quitting it after 3 hours.

I don't know about all that Jaffe stuff, but I posted earlier in the thread that I was doing the same, and I did - dropped it after about three hours because of the instant fail stealth stuff. When they released the patch I tried it again - not sure what they changed, but it's really clicked this time and I'm having an absolute blast. I'm not sure it's what they changed; I think I just figured out how to play it better. Think I'll be buying the season pass now. I don't do all the 'my GOTY' hyperbole stuff, so don't know if I would say that.
Not aiming this part of the comment at you Gamer_By_Proxy, despite me quoting you, because I don't know your story, but gamers today are way too invested in seeing things fail. This seems like a decent game to me - and I'm not even a Star Wars fan. It has great atmosphere and does really well at making you feel a part of that world.

I just thought the Jaffe turnaround was funny. It was almost like, as soon as he got to one hard stage in Astro Bot, he went right back to Outlaws and it was his GOTY from then on. I'm not some blind hater or Ubi hater. I'm still considering getting this and Avatar when they're cheap.
The star wars game I've been liking the most lately is the tales from the galaxies edge VR game.

Steam CCU bottomed at under 500 last night. Skimming the chart it was 486.

Just finished, took about 35 hours. Eh, mediocre in most areas, protagonist is bland and ugly (which was actually quite distracting cause I kept laughing thinking how someone must have been tasked with making her look this bad). Ship fighting was terrible. Thank goodness the pro patch came out cause I would have dropped it otherwise given how low res it first appeared. Overall, 6.5 out of 10.

Will hit 300 range this week.

Last night it hit the 300s. It'll prop up over the weekend. But 200s should come soon.

I decided to get this game on sale(PC). I am not a Star Wars fan, but you know what? This game is pretty damn decent. Yes, yes the main character is not a looker. Kinda fits the game. She COULD look a bit better but it is a non-issue. Ive been several hours in and have done a bit of space travel.
I don't really like the space combat, but love the transition from leaving the planet and heading into space and vise versa.
The game is super immersive, and that is what I really like about it more than anything else.
