Those coming out of a coma will rejoice.
game was playable after patch 1.03 to be honest.
they don’t need to keep going but they’re welcome to.
some ray-tracing options would be great if they get around to it.
Does it also fix the forgettable story, lame dialogue, repetitive fetch quest and overall blandness?
I have to say this game finally made me realize that my taste in games is in totally different level with today’s game critics (well, I’ve known it about past 10 years). Maybe it’s just me but for example I think Destroy All Humans! is much more immersive and interesting game compared to this woke attack they call game.
If this is what critics today call a good rpg, they wouldn’t recognize a good rpg if it kicked their a**es. Well this isn’t the first game in last decade that is crap and gets rather good reviews. Well this reminds me that the game didn’t even have a coherence in it’s world building. It was more like a mess of a different ideas stolen from different sources.
Really regret buying this – it feels more like a game for 14 year old girls, not for 30 year old males.
I understand the feeling but this is getting old.
what do you mean? what’s getting old?
Whining about feminism and stuff (while still buying the game).
that literally every comment here. everyday, all day.
I think he may be trolling, you have to be a special kind of r-tard to buy a PS exclusive game about a white girl with dreadlocks and then whine about said game being feminist later.
true
Dialogue is written by a purple hair feminist so what do you expect.
Not everyone watch a game from behind the scenes, but the obvious clue is in the form of a bland white female with dreadlocks, who happens to be the protagonist.
Yes but the protagonist shouldn’t fit “wokeness” since the whole reason she is so special is because she’s a clone of a high IQ scientist. Pretty sure SJWs don’t believe in genes or intelligence. LOL
SJW’s don’t care about contradicting beliefs so long as they swear allegiance to their cause.
“Really regret buying this”
Lmao what a poser. Maybe you should cry a bit more.
“it feels more like a game for 14 year old girls, not for 30 year old males.”
It’s sort of a sublimation of all the dweebs stating they prefer to stare at female @$$ in Rpg’s.
generic ps exclusive with a female character with a bot.
I didnt like Aloy as character myself, She’s cocky, arrogant, talking that seems like belittled other (male especially), and some of the writing of the side quest is lame and weak. For example in one quest there is a weak dads that cant help His own arrogant daughter (she is young adult,btw) that tried to restore her late mothers artifact (Spear or Bow I forget), what kind of story is that, is trully just a justification of todays certain peoples that only think about themselves without thinking others (her father) thats more important than a stupid artifact from his late mom.
But gameplay wise isnt as bland or repetitive as Assassin’s Creed in my opinion, its almost inline with Breath of The Wild (the pinnacle of open world games), its a bit surprising because both release at the same year.
damn they have yet to fix the game? when can i start the game?
Good to see developers also work to improve performance in games. The game in ultra settings demanded too much. My RTX 2080Ti even saw drastic fps drops from 90s to 58 fps… And that on 1080p.
Going to redownload the game for performance reasons.
The shader cache problem maybe, try delete it manually (I forgot the name of the cache file and the location though)
While it’s good to see them fixing the game… at the same time all this stuff should have been fixed the day it came out. Most people already beat and finished the game so it’s pretty meaningless now
Nah I’m still waiting. As I said before they won’t get a dime from me until it was fixed. I’ve stopped putting up with broken and subpar ports for years.

this is a ue4 remake what i showed you wast he original jedi knight and mysteries of the sith with a graphical udpate
Is it THAT difficult to read the article and not the headline? The mod is included in there.
i watched the video
Welp color me surprise they actually kept using those Timmy Tencet monies for good and the game is now on GOG as well.
Its a different teams that did the port (chinese devs if im right). Thats why Sony considered more ports because it actually very cheap paying small devs from another country to do the port and it still will sell a ton.
2012 Aloy looks much better. I wonder why they redesign it?
honest
