echinopsis posted:dirt rally 2 is well over 100gb A lot of it is good optimization (for consoles that still store their games on spinning rust). If you have an asset like a lamp post or something, that's going to be duplicated dozens of times in the game data, so that whatever segment of the level the player is loading in to will still load in one sequential disk read.

Ghost of Tsushima remains the most mediocre games I’ve ever platinumed.

I’m glad that style does it for you but I had more fun in a 4-hour play thru of severed steel than the many more hours I put into assassins creed odyssey. there’s nothing there besides several skinner boxes worth of repetitive mechanics

I think I found my forever weapon in (late mid- game location) volcano manor it’s going to be very hard not using bloodhound claws/shadow quickstep in future playthroughs

just beat margit and found out he's not even a "real" boss. lol. welcome to dark souls!! was i supposed to be able to cast a spirit summon during that fight? i've been wanting to use this ever since i got the ability and it's always greyed out, including for this fight. idk if i'm doing something wrong but i definitely have the fp to afford the cast

you can cast spirit summons only when you see the blue tombstone looking icon on the left of the screen. usually shows up in boss arenas or outdoor areas with a lot of enemies. if you’ve recently summoned it, you wont be able to again in the same area. or if you have one of the fingers activated that looks for co-op help, you cant use it either

also I would argue that margit is a real boss, he is unique enough that he qualifies imo. there’s a bunch of minor “bosses” that are just tougher reskinned enemies that you encounter in the world. he’s just not one of the lords or whatever for the story

Radahn is a fucker and a terrible boss fight tbh Fromsoft agrees with me at least partially because they nerfed him somewhat in the latest patch even though this wasn't specifically called out in the patch notes. as for Margit he's there to make you go away and do something else in the wider game world for a while. Come back when your pointy stick is +3.

I got to Renala's second phase and instantly got hyper beemed to death. I don't want to fight here, wish I could travel the world instead telling everyone about the darkness of her night or w/e like she says

I'm curious how bad it was pre-nerf the fight did finally get me to open the crafting menu and figure out how to heal the horse without getting knocked off also took me a good 20 minutes to realize those were all summon signs, not messages left by other players around the battle

Radahn left a really sour taste in my mouth but ER redeemed itself afterwards with the capital city, I thought that was pretty nice. The boss battle at the end (not the middle, although that's a refreshing palate cleanser) is also my favorite one in the game so far, very flashy and engaging while only being a little bit cheap. Also there's a free NPC summon at the fog gate. Accept their help. It does make the fight a little bit easier but it's worth it for the spectacle of it all.

i just wish I could fly around in the world in VR that games sense of scale and wonder and just the utter vibe is unlike anything I’ve played. really feels like an afterlife not just a different world like skyrim also when is skyrim 2 coming out? i’m glad the devs for skyrim 2 will play elden no ring and steal ideas from it.

Why do they even make games for the PS5 when no-one has one and it's been discontinued?
