I had to lower the graphics today because performance started dropping later in the game for some reason. I was fully expecting it to be noticeable with the drop in quality but honestly it still looks really pretty on the lowest settings
I played the OG when i was 13 on my shitty Acer laptop. It was an experience. I was doing the same thing while going through the remake when seeing the redesigned areas. Like I’d see a space and go “oh. This is where James first encounters an enemy”.
I’m a part time student. Maybe with next semester that will change because I’m looking into going full time. But I always try to put at least 30 minutes to an hour into gaming just to relax after long days.
I think being part time has just afforded me a lot more of that time though, which is why I’m knocking so many games out like this.
Yeah. I played my first playthrough a few years ago. I just finished my crushing run today actually.
One thing I will say after beating it is that I feel like the difficulty of Crushing really drew out combat encounters (at least for me), so it kind of counter balanced the lack of combat encounters
Halo CE and ODST the other day was more so to break in the game to check if the game was functioning. I was having a bug with it and needed to fix it.
We first beat CE Legendary a few years ago and ODST we did to take a break because we assumed it would be quicker than jumping straight into Halo 2 Legendary. We’ve sadly been stuck on Halo 2 legendary for half a year. It’s me and my Friend’s Co-Op project
I’m very happy for making it this far. Besides just the fact I enjoy sharing my screenshots with other people and reading the discussions people have around the games I play, I feel like it’s helped establish a pattern I’ve been using in my day to day life to stay dedicated to other tasks
I’m ashamed to say it took me until a few months ago to get to it. I finally got around too it though after my full yearly play through of Alan Wake 1 earlier this year
Alan Wake 1. It’s one of the few games i can play over and over again and not get bored. Sometimes i’ll just pop in and play a chapter when i want something to do. I keep it and it’s sister game, Alan Wake’s American Nightmare on system at all times just so i can play it
I took a class that covered it a while ago. From what i understood of that unit, it can be pretty difficult. Even after shaders for the water and things to handle vertex displacement maps and tessellation, if they want the Water to do more then they have to code that on too (Think Red Dead 2’s Water reacting to being shot or just basic Splash Physics or foam). It was really fascinating to learn about even though i don’t remember much of the Unit
Naughty Dog has a pretty good track record with pretty and polished games. The only bad one that springs to mind is the PC port of the Last of Us Part 1, and even then i believe Iron galaxy handled that port (which is surprising it came out buggy because they also handled Uncharted 4’s PC port and afaik it came out fine), and from what i know now it’s been fixed too
I liked 4 a lot. It felt like an appropriate end to Drake’s story, especially with the more grounded story with supernatural elements out and the new mechanics added. I loved The epilogue on my first play through too. I had to stop and go “woah, is this really a video game?” with the lighting
