Yeah, after reading the review I think I can wrap my head around the integration of heavy amounts of combat. A goblin uprising seems like a good enough excuse to have a multitude of magical battles.
I won’t be able to jump in right on release day, but I think I’ll pull the trigger soon and make this one of my launch games for 2023.
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
Just pulled the trigger on a pre-order on amazon. Think the combination of buzz together with reports of everywhere running out of stock worked to give me the nudge.
The comment section under the review is a mess lol. Absolutely embrassing.
Anyway, I didn't know early access was today, and the fact that early access is still a thing games do. Explains why the whole internet is filled with spoilers. Early access can die together with all the other terrible exploitative means that plague gaming.
Umming and arring what platform to get this on. I recently tried Forspoken on PS5 and thought the performance mode was really ugly, and the fidelity mode really choppy, so I grabbed it on PC to discover the port is so poorly optimised it runs worse on my PC than it does on PS5.
Kinda nervous that will happen here again as it seems like very few review codes have gone out for the PC version and the reviews of the port specifically haven't been great. This pushes me towards the PS5 version for reliabilities sake, but I also see the best you are going to get out of this is 30 fps at a dynamic resolution 4k target, or 60fps or higher at 1080p. Like... isn't that kinda yikes too?
I get this is an open world game, but surely I shouldn't have to be playing games on my PS5 in 1080p to get 60fps so early in it's life cycle? What am I paying all this extra money for PS5 versions of games for if they run the same as games did on the PS4 pro?
Loving it so far. Hogsmeade is so comfy. Hogwarts is a maze, though. I'd be wandering the halls forever if not for the dotted line GPS thing. Playing it on hard mode and it's actually quite tough, too.
@Bentleyma I don't think the devs do either, hence the sizeable delay. We're probably talking 360p, unstable 30fps, no AA, muddy textures, basically sub-minimum PC settings.
@Bentleyma I fully agree the world is extremely detailed. You can clearly see they put a lot of work into the little details. I just love to explore the world and stand still a lot to just admire the world they created. Even while I'm not a big fan of the Harry Potter movies. I'm only 6 hours in so not that far yet, but I'm loving what I'm seeing until now.
Also a positive to mention is the game seems to be practically bug and glitch free. I haven't encountered a single one yet and that seems to be rare for modern open world games.
