Holy drat FFXV ran so poorly by default. I put it in framerate mode and it's 60fps and I see literally no difference in resolution. Is it just a dynamic resolution in framerate mode and since I'm running in PS5 it doesn't change?

Also this is the first game I've played where I can change the display mode and it doesn't make me restart, that's weird.

I don't know the actual implementation details and they've probably been patched a lot but the game originally had a notional 4K mode "high" and a notional framerate mode "life" (I may have the names backward), and neither were very good, they were like 4K20 and 1080p 30 or something, and later they added a "lite" setting that cranked the detail down even lower and was supposed to hit 60 but in practice still only hit 40 or so. It's possible there may be some dynamic res going on but mostly I think FFXV just scales down in resolution quite well. On reflection I'm not sure if only lite mode has a high frame cap.

I mean it's clearly nowhere near Mario or Ratchet & Clank or Astrobot level of polish, but aside from local coop, the basic mechanics are solid and I love the level design and how it ties into the little plots. Reminds me of the first two Paper Marios.

I've only heard good things about it, that it's supposed to be one of the better modern 3D platformers.

FFXV has frame pacing issues when you use a mode with a 30fps cap, so that's why it felt so bad. It's the same issue Bloodborne has.

Imagine someone tapping a drum 30 times a minute, but instead of a constant rhythm every so often one of the beats is earlier or later than it should be.

The issue is really easy to notice if you smoothly rotate the camera. I'm glad the game runs at a pretty much locked 60fps on PS5 because the PC version became a stuttering mess when Episode Ardyn was released.

ok guys hold me accountable I'm getting old and am trying to get back into my video game groove, but it's tough :( I have a huge backlog.

Titanfall 2 again (lol just cause). Picked up WRC 9 on this sale--haven't done a rally game in a bit.is DMC5 worth a revisit?

I'd love to check out XIV, but I just cannot do a MMORPG time-sink RN, and I barely started the first expansion. Though, it is a fun game for quick intermittent visits, and the goon groups are all great

Started FF7R a while ago, about 1/4 maybe 1/3 through, but might as well wait until June at this point

It turned out he was loving fans in their 20s, who he let believe would lead to a relationship with him. So it was grooming and taking advantage of his position and treating people like disposable playthings and he's also like 38 or 40 or something so a super questionable age gap, but he didn't have gently caress any teens. One of the 23 year olds met him when she was 17 but they didn't have any substantive communication until a few years later.

More of a Nick Robinson situation. Very unethical and worth not watching any of his stuff over, but should be clear he didn't do anything with any teens as far as anyone knows.

As far as I know, a young woman (21 I think) said that she and Dan started corresponding online when she was still 17 and they didn't meet in real life until she was over 18. Still gross, but the internet is making this out to be much more scandalous than it actually is. All the evidence she's put out there are messages between them when they were both adults. Hopefully I'm not ill-informed and there's more to the story.

Lots of good stuff in the Accessibility settings. Increased Dodge Window, High Contrast Spider Sense (easier to see), hold buttons instead of mashing them, auto-complete QTEs. The skill tree is pretty much guided for you since it's level-gated so no real tips there, just get everything as it becomes available.

Nah, apparently that was all super exaggerated. Dan talked to some teenager, then they stopped talking for four years, and when she was 21 they slept together after one of his shows and then he ghosted her. People were saying that because he had a conversation with a teenager (and not even a sexy one, just a regular conversation) and then later slept with her, he's obviously a pedophile. When people said that that made no drat sense, they pivoted to saying that the uneven power dynamics of a "rock star" and a fan meant the fan could not consent and that Dan essentially raped her. When people still said that sounded like a load of horse crap, they just said Dan was a dick for ghosting the girl. Even the girl Dan slept with said it was all getting blown up more than it needed to be. The entire thing was apparently orchestrated by some Dan-obsessed person in the RantGrumps subreddit (made entirely for making GBS threads on GameGrumps) and it all blew over in like three days.

If you're looking for a game to play couch co op with your son, I've just started It Takes Two and it's absolutely amazing. Like Miyamoto levels of fun. Bit of a weird dynamic considering the 2 characters represent a husband and wife mid divorce, but the game itself is really good.

Can you play it alone like brothers atots or does it require 2 like a way out and as its title would lead one to believe

It requires two to play. It does have that friend pass thing, so you can play online with another person and they get it free. Not sure on the specifics, I've only played in couch co op.

In does in fact take two afaik. Your friends can DL it and play for free though, so you should buy it and we can work out our marriage issues together and I won't have 2 pay for it.

It takes two (:razz:) people for the whole game. It can be couch co-op or online, but you still gotta have two people. It plays a lot like A Way Out if you're familiar with that one. I'm digging it, but I think A Way Out was better (though I haven't beaten ITT yet, so maybe it's got a fun twist ending like AWO did).

he wasnt. he spoke to her in random fan kinda way 1 month before she hit 18 and then they didnt speak until 4 years had passed when she was 22 and then they were both into it, tho his pickup method is very lol worthy, they were both consenting adults and the only reasons it exploded in the way it has done is because he was a bit of a shithead and ghosted her straight after sex and she couldnt handle that (cos 22) and told everyone and then a reddit page who really hate gamegrumps for some reason made it out like he was grooming her when she was 17 and he wasnt and the usual places lost their minds over it. just the dumbest of internet bullshit drama. i mean theres obviously the fan/power thing in affect thats a bit side glancey but other than that lol.

i don't even know what gamegrumps is or who these loving clowns are, just kinda weirded out in the way people on the internet these days really really want to infantile 17-25 year olds. its super loving creepy and gross. like a 17-25 year old has the mental capacity of a 9 year old? the gently caress is wrong with the internet. i'm half expecting 30-35 to get infantile next and i blame harry potter. i also think its mostly millennials tbh who cant handle getting old or their own sensitivity and baby diper weirdos and also how people just read the headline and form an opinion but whatever, putting my ps5 on now.
