that what happens with DLSS3 when real fps low

That's forced framerate cap.

 

[Roufianos]

Ultimate edition.

Really liking this, except the GODDAM AWFUL character dialogue. He just won't shut up! Wouldn't mind if it was well written and varied but it's the same few phrases every combat (often out of context eg "Here they come" with just one enemy). With all the quality work on display this is sort of like dumping ketchup on top of a restaurant meal.

Hopefully we'll get an option down the road to turn it off.

Ahh that's a bummer, amazing how the whole Saint's Row, Atomic Heart and Forspoken dramas have taught devs nothing.

Edit: ^^^^^what this guy said is true.

The rave reviews this game is getting are perplexing to me. I've played for around an hour and am left wondering if I should even continue to play with the volume turned on. The dialogue/banter is awful and the frequency of it is near Dragon's Dogma levels.

Seriously thinking about asking for a refund.

Does this have 60fps mode on series x?

Yes, runs really well. My experience has been very smooth on balanced mode.

I'm not familler with this series is it a souls like game ?

Best description that most people use is "Think Dark Souls but with guns".

That's been pretty accurate. It's been a blast so far for me. Challenging and very fun, doesn't hold your hand with satisfying gameplay/gunplay.

From reddit

--General Performance--

We've heard from a few folks about the game's overall performance. We're definitely going to roll out performance updates after the game's launch. But for the sake of transparency, we designed the game with upscaling in mind (DLSS/FSR/XeSS). So, if you leave the Upscaling settings as they are (you can hit 'reset defaults' to get them back to normal), you should have the smoothest gameplay.

Thats a big yikes.

That’s the exact opposite of what they should be saying. It’s almost the same thing as saying ‘we didn’t optimise too much, so use up scaling tech instead’.

I haven’t had any problems with performance but I was a little surprised that native 1440p is a bit of a struggle on a 3080. I’m happy with DLSS, but it shouldn’t be a reason to not optimise better.

For small team, asking to optimize ue5 on pc might be pretty much impossible task

This seems to be pretty much the future. New RTX 40 series also puts too much emphasis on DLSS 3 while barely exceeding last gen raster performance.

It's how shitty cell phone cameras are able to take almost as good photos as dedicated cameras. They are onto something here.

 

[Kakax11]

The game got weird refresh rate options, if your monitor is 144hz it'll allow 72hz instead of 60hz !!!

 

[Belthazar]

Really disappointing to read that crossplay isn't even a plan at this point

This is the way refresh rates are supposed to work, at multiples of your display’s frame rate.

The bosses are harder than the first one even without adds, wonderfull.

What weapons are you rocking? Don't respond if you have some super secret weapon.

Installing, got the ultimate edition.

 

[Sleepwalker]

40 bucks on steam with regional pricing hmm

 

[GymWolf]

Just for your information, the game has fake walls or small openings hided behind breakable objects like the souls, i just discovered a ring and a boss like that.

The game is choke full of puzzles and secrets.

Also, always exhaust every line of dialogue with npcs...

Hopefully it happens soon because I need more scrap for upgrading.

Ya I agree. Not sure why devs think it's "cool" to add shit like that. Couldn't stand it in Horizon, Days Gone and every other game where the protagonist just blurts out shit nonstop.

Otherwise...what an amazing game so far.

It's an audio cue to let you know when you're in or out of combat. But its implementation is just terrible.

Why don't you just join some other player to farm scrap? Or use adventure mode to reroll the worlds you completed to farm and find new stuff.

Because I've had a busy weekend and barely had any time to play, unfortunately.

Either way, Gunfire acknowledged that resource drops are stingy and will be fixed... I was just relaying the message.

 

[ClanOfNone]

Game is dope, they improved upon the first in almost every aspect. Annoying voice over is definitely my main gripe, as others have already said.
"Here they come!"
*kills one baddie
"Whew, that was rough!"

I've only seen two areas so far and they were fantastic, can't wait to see more.

There's seriously no option to even turn voices down?

If so it's so baffling to me how little shit like this gets overlooked or decided against

[hlm666]

Think i'm about 1/2 way through this now and kind of disappointed with the bosses so far. Don't really want to go into specifics because of spoilers but there isn't much new mechanics wise and they have doubled down on fights with adds. As an ex everquest and wow player dealing with adds isn't something I find particularly interesting or enjoyable. Hasn't been alot of interesting weak spot mechanics either, i'd go so far as saying im not even sure where the weak spot was on 1/2 of them so far lol.

I only fought 3 bosses and only one had adds in the lower level of the arena that you could just avoid by not going in the lower floor.

It was one of the things they said they addressed in the sequel, just keep pushing, the game has a lot of bosses to take into account the map rng.

I'm only interested in a solo campaign these days. How is the single player? (if anyone tried it)

I'm old and I suck, bit I'm making fairly steady progress on the default difficulty. Using the Handler class helps immensely as the dog can revive you. I think I'd be making zero progress without that crutch!

Still cant decide between ps5 or pc. I have an i5 13600k, 32gb ddr5 and a 3070ti, playing in 1440p, but i heard the pc port is bad

 

[Oh The Travesty]

Oh my God the characters are terrible millenial writing at its worst. Quips and prickly personalities who make you wanna slap a hoe.

Seriously, you'd think these coastal trust fund hipsters would realize that writing your characters like assholes just makes people hate them, not look up to them.

Yup, many modern games nowadays are so weird with how they think this is "cool" and "hip".

Even back in my early twenties...this shit was eye roll level of cringe. The world has basically ended, everyone around you dead...some of these NPCs are acting like gen Z marvel characters.

It's good that after the first hour or so you barely have any interactions with them.

 

[Kagero]

Game is hard as heck. How are people beating it in 20 hours? I've spent 2 hours alone and still can't get past my first boss.

But who’s writing the games today?? Gen Z people? Millennials?

I would guess that people around age 40 to 50 are the writers, right? So, that age group grew up in the 80s and 90s and should not be quiffy like the Gen-Z/Millennials today.

Or are 24 year olds writing today?

Game is smooth on the series X. Played co-op with a team and haven't ran into a problem. Shooting is that's where it pulls me in and exploration. Gameplay is crack shit be addicting. As of right now I'm fighting this shithead boss big ass alien squid with hands and lasers. Died over 20 times Hard game but once you get going you'll be alright.

Got my key today. Damn this game is fun. It's like the first game, but different / expanded. Just unlocked my second class. Can't wait to play again!

 

[MacReady13]

I loved the first game and got 100% on it when it was on gamepass. Its another example of a game i would never have bought or tried without gamepass but now i m excited for the sequel.
The reviews are good enough for me to buy it right away and hopefully i can finish it before gamepass goes crazy in september.

Funny that cause I had never heard of it. Saw it on sale on the PS5 and purchased it. Loved it. Didn't need a sub service to know it.

Gameplay look is superb, boss battles are fun solo and co-op and the shooting feels about as good as one of these games usually get. If this game is supported it will be a huge hit. Looter shooters rarely speak to me but this game has so much to discover I find myself coming to play often currently.
