Skyrim's 3rd person was shit because the game had obviously been developed with 1st person in mind so the camera always felt off.

One thing I loved about playing the Bethesda RPGs on PC, was flicking the mouse wheel to go from my third person we exploration mode, into first person for a scrap/ambush. Still would use every trick I could to avoid extended melee in that mode though...

 

Third person shooting is awful for me, though, main reason I've never gotten through a whole naughty dog game.

Same- anything that requires shooting needs to be first person mouse and keyboard. Melee stuff is better in third person with a controller. I played through the Witcher 3 swapping between them, worked well.

Cyberpunk is the most ive looked forward to a game mostly becauseI love CD projekt Red. The witcher 3 for me was a masterpiece. Theyre an excellent developer.

 

Yeah I still think it'll be great, I've just got fed up of the hype I guess, especially after the game being delayed twice now. It's also the first time they've done a game like this so there might be obvious issues with the game like cars (they've always looked a bit floaty to me in footage for instance) and guns not feeling quite right. It could also be a reason why they've delayed a couple of times so that those things are improved a bit.

 

It's sad that we've had so many post apocalyptic open world games too and that this is the first time an open world cyberpunk game has even been attempted and we're in the year 2020. That might explain a lot of the hype because something like this is so overdue.

 

I've no problems with 1st person either as it's my favourite way of playing rpg's for the immersion, in the same way that I'll always do the same in driving games if the option is there. I've done it mainly in Oblivion, Fallout and Skyrim, in Elder Scrolls Online I eventually had to move to 3rd though because it's impossible to pvp as well in 1st. It's a shame that so many people have problems like motion sickness though or not liking it so they're going to miss out on enjoying the game.

I've never had an issue with first person. Would be kind of difficult if I did, since I've lived my entire life in it.

Haha

 

Do you see the world in 780p, 1080p or 4K? And I bet when things suddenly appear out of nowhere are a right git.

I am short-sighted so everything's a bit of a blur.

Just got my copy of GOT delivered, will have a crack on it in a bit.

Watch out, season 8 is mentioned as a bit of a letdown.

Maybe try turning on anti-aliasing?

I only run at about 12 FPS at the best of times.

Finished the prologue and you can tell straightaway it's sure-fire hit to go alongside God of War and Days Gone.

I'd hate to think what happens when it gets busy in front of you. Must be so much stutter. And how long does it take to load when you leave one room and enter another?

Ghost of Tsushima can rightly take over the GOT acronym now after that shit show.

Currently installing Ghosts. Will give an initial score in a couple of days, but know I’m going to absolutely love it.

Can someone let me know if @Madrid Diecinueve is going to post a score for Ghosts in a couple of days?

And chromatic abberation! Does my head in that thing and is one of the only graphical things that actually feels like it's causing me vision problems when it's turned on.

 

Luckily there's often the option of turning it off. The Outer Worlds was a nightmare with it but they patched in the option to turn it off, and Rage 2 that I'm about to get back on was also looking odd to me and after a patch downloaded also the option there.

 

It can be hard or impossible to see for some but for others a proper headache inducing issue. I've no problem with it though as long as the option is there to get rid of it.

I always get rid of that, blur and subtitles.

Same with motion blur. On Rage 2 there's also a problem with antialiasing and some blur at screen edges so the image still looks a bit soft but I think it's been done because the devs chose performace over graphics, which I can understand for a shooter. The only issue is that I'm on base PS4 so the sacrifice of graphics for 60fps doesn't exist and it's capped at 30. I can sort the problem out but only if I get it on PC so I have the option for it, which I'll maybe do in the near future.

 

It wouldn't normally be a problem but the open world looks brilliant at times and I'm liking taking screenshots. At least with chromatic off things have improved.

Never heard of the cunt.

I hadn't until I wondered what was wrong at times in games and found out. Glad I can remove it when I see it now.

 

I was looking at antialiasing as well and from what I can see it actually affects performance so it being in Rage 2 fairly heavily is a bit baffling. Either way I'll be glad to turn that off too if I get a PC version. I'm still at the start of the game really apart from wandering around a decent bit of the map last night for hours and eventually getting past the first boss, but will post thoughts on it when I've played enough.

Rage 2 is on Game Pass if you want to play it cheap on PC. It's also under 8 euro on CD Keys although I'm sure I got it cheaper than that.

Anyone know anything about the Warhammer games? I've never played them and there's a few on humble bundle for about a tenner...

I quite fancy a go at rage 2, I liked the original. It looks amazing in the reviews.

Thanks I've used CD keys in the past so will probably do that. My old i5 doesn't even meet min requirements so don't want to risk this pc for such a fast paced game but I might have a new one soon so will get it from there then hopefully.

Dawn of War was good when I played it years ago but that's kind of ancient now I think. They have a good rep for making those games though I think so could be good if you're into strategy.

 

And yeah Rage 2 is good so far, it seems like a great game for the combat and action if you're not looking for much else. So a good break from overly long open world games but one that can still last a while if you cover the map going for all of the stuff that's there instead of only focusing on the main story.
