Exploring the gunplay’s great so far. The hard difficulty’s just right for me. I’ll lose some fights, and my SO can watch and give helpful advice to drop a Mr. Fungi, which I really will forget every time when left to my own panicking devices.
My one disappointment is that bolt sounds no longer sing. I haven’t found an option to turn them up, either. I guess that keeps the door opening to replaying earlier games.
I’ve only seen a purple pad that gets placed on some stages once you’ve completed enough (maybe always the main story quest). I don’t know of a general mechanism to warp back to your ship from anywhere.
Getting close to the end now. The Lightning Gun and the Glove of Doom are becoming favorites, but my maxxed out Enforcer remains a security blanket. I got a bit frustrated on one of the last Clank puzzle rooms when I had a power sphere disappear on me. I’d see that happen a couple times and didn’t want to start over, so having the “skip puzzle” option from the pause menu is really nice.
The sound effects from the enemies with the lightning gun and the freeze gun always amuse me. The Peacemaker is what I turn to when I realize I’m really low health from trying to level up all the other weapons. But what a variety! I didn’t expect there to end up being more than two selection wheels of guns.
Hmmm, nice. I guess if all Sony exclusives really do come to PC, the decision to get a Switch over the PS5 just looks better and better as time moves on.
I don’t like that the article basically moves the goal posts. They claim success running 720p at 30 Hz. The PS5 targeted 4K at 30 Hz. I take that to be the middle column of the image, and that’s requiring about the same hardware on PC: RTX 3060 Ti, 16 GB RAM, 75 GB on SSD storage.
However, I don’t mean to be against anything here. I welcome all the good things that DirectStorage will bring.
The PS5 has a high framerate mode with ray tracing as well. For PC they’re decreasing asset quality and increasing RAM requirements to accomplish the port on mechanical hard drives.
I don’t understand knocking down Sony for PS5 with stuff like this. I want more console gaming hardware that does everything it can possibly do to make shit as fast as possible with high level compute and assets driving the show. Beat PCs at everything for $500 every five years. I’m here for it.
