^Haha is it because of the jiggly ass? Strange animations? Personally I think the game would have done well to have the option for third person available. Just that quick video shows the lighting on the character and how you can see more of the environment around them. I don't see anything wrong about it....

GTA 5 (can't remember if RDR2 as well) has the option for both perspectives and 3rd person is easily so much better. Some games are better FPS for sure, but this isn't one of them.

Still a great game though.

It's the bad animation. But them deciding to do first person is probably why the animation is bad and they just didn't prioritize making something you'll never see look right.

lots of smoke regarding an RDR remake coming out in 2024 or so. I'd be very happy with that ... I've never played the first game and they could obviously adapt it a bit too, now that they have a prequel to reference.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that CP2077 absolutely was intended to have a third-person view when development first started, only for it to get cut like so many other parts of the game that were teased in the early trailers. The janky animations are the result of the third-person view getting turfed so no one needed to worry about polishing them, since the most you'd see of the player character would be in a mirror, reflections in surfaces when using RTX, or in the inventory screen. It seems to make very little sense to make a character so customizable in terms of appearance only to never be able to see them in all their glory, save for some silly photo mode.

Even as Pepsi and I both said this game was worth the $80 at launch, it was as stark a difference as the No Man's Sky trailers versus release in terms of what was teased and what was released. Lots of things got cut, hell half of the map wasn't even developed like it was supposed to be.

I hope it's on the same engine as RDR2 and there's some way to combine both games into a single experience. Given how long they let you play as John in 2 and how much of the first game's map is already in it I thought for sure that was going to be Rockstar's plan

That would be a ton of fun.

Anyone playing Sons of the Forest? I'm not, my daughter is - it's a second game to The Forest. I'm playing UC4 right now, she's parked beside me playing that on her laptop. The graphics are beautifully done.

Lol welp I’m garbage at cyberpunk. Can’t get past the first room of the first real mission “the rescue”. Maybe tenth time’s the charm.

I played it like a cyberpunked Metal Gear Solid, super stealthy. Try thinking about it that way.

Baldur's Gate 3 is really good. I've been ping ponging back and forth between that and Diablo IV and it feels like a natural fit for the change of pace.

sounds like BG3 is breaking records!

My favorite 2000s co-op memories were BG1 and BG2

For Cyberpunk, I'm still waiting for something to fix the train system properly that CDPR abandoned. There are some mods but when you get inside the "pod" the interior turns into the model for the bus.

PC is definitely the way to go here. And 122 GB lol.

Sounds like the consoles are indeed being "hamstrung by a potato". Just drop the damn potato.

https://www.engadget.com/why-baldurs...200521291.html

[I]Why Baldur’s Gate III is an accidental PS5 console exclusive

Baldur’s Gate III is available right now — partially. To be clear, the game itself is complete, but its rollout is fragmented, with different release dates for each of its planned platforms. Following a lengthy Early Access period, the PC version of Baldur’s Gate III went live today, August 3, while the PlayStation 5 and Mac versions are due out on September 6. The game’s developer, Larian Studios, hasn’t provided a release date for the Xbox Series X and S edition.

Microsoft requires all games to run, feature-complete and without changes in quality or mechanics, on both the Xbox Series X and Series

Rocksteady senior character technical artist Lee Devonald similarly tweeted about his experience building Gotham Knights — a game that shipped on consoles with a framerate locked at 30 fps and no performance mode. According to Gamerant, Devonald said that multiplatform developers had to “optimize for the lowest performer,” and, “we have a current-gen console that’s not much better than a last gen one,” referencing the Xbox Series S.

"[An] entire generation of games, hamstrung by that potato," Devonald tweeted.[

POE looting/selling/venodring (forget even trading yet) seems like such a tough thing to wrap my head around.

BG 1 & 2 were must plays for the couch co op action. So much fun!

I loved Divinity OS and Larian knocked it out of the park again with BG3. If anyone needs me I'll be in Faerun!
