I wish the game gave you more direction as to where to go like when you click R3 on Dead Space and it shows a trail you can follow. I’m always lost wondering for a long time. The map is useful but not enough for me in my opinion.

 

[Exentryk]

Has anyone here tried the first mod? Does it actually improve performance?

I didn't try it, but I did see a picture where it changed the black levels and made things a little too dark.

So I was saying earlier that I hadn't been scared so far.

The Prison is scary. the galloping sound effect when you're placing weights down lol

That yard area is scary af. It's a big area and pitch black. But once I saw the red square there, I knew I was okay.

I dont understand why after the hospital, the game throws at you so many supplies and ammo, I have like 20 health kits, another 20 drinks, and more than 100 bullets of ammo. I think Bloober should fix this, it doesnt feel right in a survival horror. I am playing on medium difficulty tho, does the games gives you less supplies on hard?

Same for me, but then I watched couple of playthroughs and saw people running out of health items and gun ammo in the hospital lol
I try to use melee 90% of the time and I've gotten pretty good at dodging so I guess it just comes down to skill.

In Dead Space it makes sense because of the suit you're wearing and how it uses holograms for showing everything. Doing that in a modern world game would be immersion breaking. In my opinion in cases like this it would be a good idea to offer a journal with subtle hints what to do next.

I am with María , and I was bitching about how she looks, but the voice, the actitud, the dialogue when you save, damn even the music is soo good. The first time I canceled my preorder because the drama of Angela and María, but thanks to GAF I buy the game. So glad

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

It already has a map with *literal* hints of what to do next by constantly circling areas of interest you're meant to explore. If you're stuck it's because you haven't fully explored those areas/explored your inventory. Some puzzles require combining items, it should always be fairly obvious what you're supposed to do, environmental storytelling even gives extra hints here (hello a certain lightbulb that needs to be replaced).

The in-game map and it's implementation is one of the best things about SH2, thank God the powers that be trusted that *most* gamers would have enough brain power to navigate this world (and they even made concessions here allowing you to choose puzzle difficulty).

Hard is more stingy but not stingy enough, i currently have like 160 pistol rounds, 7 or 8 shotguns, 20 small cures and like 6 or 7 syringes and i'm still in the hospital.

But tbf, i'm an hoarder

I know people are gonna troll this post, but i always want that function in any game but for a different reason (i think the map is more than ok for navigation), i like to explore, and if your game has moments where a cutscene start and after it end you can't go back to explore what is left, then i always want to know what is the golden path so i can literally go everywhere else to explore before getting locked by a cutscene, not sure if clear, i hate when a game cut you off from exploring and you can't predict that.

Tlou2 was particularly egregious in this, you never know when you can go back or if a door lock behind you and you can't explore anymore, thankfully it had the dead space thingy to alleviate that.

I know that a navigator would maybe kill some of the immersion (i mean it would only turn on with a button press), but for people who only play once and want to do everything in a single run, cutscene that block you from going back are kinda of a problem.

Finished the game yesterday. I already said everything in the past week about the game i wanted too. Really loved it, but at the end it felt like it was a bit too long. Depressing fucking game and a really rare mature story.

I started NG+ in performance mode but wow.. im glad i didnt played it in this mode for the first time. Already noticed lot of rooms that were just pitch black and the game just losing a lot of its atmosphere with the much shittier lighting. Hopefully there is a pro patch with quality settings at 60.

collectible photo spoilers?

btw why the fuck i collected all those photos with the numbers on it if i didnt get the chance to use them at all. What was the purpose of those?

We finished the game at the same time and started the same performance NG+. It looks so inferior in performance mode. If they use PSSR in that version and call it a Pro patch we all lose. No one should touch it.

The only way to use performance is if you apply the filters from NG+ to disguise the drop in atmosphere and image quality.

The map system is brilliant. I have all the UI turned off, very satisfying to explore and the level design is really impressive. It always dumps you where you need to be.

There's plenty of direction, it just respects your intelligence. Each map layout is basically covered with dead ends and locked doors except for one path that will eventually lead you to whatever tool or puzzle piece you need to pass through one of the previous inaccessible areas. They totally funnel you in the directions you need to go without sticking a big navigational arrow on the screen.

100% agree. We could even say that despite the maze like structure of its dungeons the game might be slightly too linear in some instances and could offer more paths at certain points. But yeah with its current structure some players are already easily lost, so I think they tried to balance it quite carefully. The result remains that the levels usually flow very very well

This is something that I kept on expecting to happen at some point and it really never does. The game is so razor focused on keeping you constantly immersed and not making you wander around aimlessly.

Someone said it before but i like the detail of the mannequin dropping down differently from the other enemies when you melee them, i thought they were still completely flesh made enemies like the bi-legs dudes but apparently they are like...meaty mannequins??!

The way they drop it looks more like marionettes when you cut the ties more than mannequins.

It was just that moment, otherwise she is ok.

Alright I will probably be the outlier in the thread, but this Remake has some retarded shit in it that I just can't look past.

In the Woodside Apartments there's a window that leads straight to the inner yard that leads to the park you need to go. The window is right there on the first floor, not barred not barricaded in any way and for some reason James is too fucking stupid to climb through...

I specifically googled this place from the original and lo and behold there's nothing like it there.

Another thing, why did they add these pushing carts from Last Of Us here? It doesn't add anything whatsoever to the gameplay just reminds you of a by the numbers modern game design. smh
