Mad I never got to play this, it being 40 euro in Gamestop when I only had 20 as a teen and then it not working on a PS2 emulator a decade later
I loved the Ghost in the Shell PS1 game, but was kinda pissed I beat it in a few hours. Felt like I had gotten ripped off..

As long as it is consistent then 30FPS is pretty fine for me. Unlike Dying Light 2 though, while it is consistent for the most part there are still drops but for a game with a lot of parkour in first person and intense movements, 60 FPS is a must. Once I tried it, there is just no going back
Looks way better than the one I played on PSP which is an FPS game lol.
oh yeah, first person shooters and Driving are two genres that I will not tolerate 30 FPS for
On another note, I'll take 30 FPS over games that switch between 30 and 60 constantly
Dragon Age Inquisition has FPS Boost active on XSX during gameplay, but cutscenes and conversations are still 30 FPS
That right there is unplayable lol

Such a shame they never made a sequel and the DLC was EH. Really enjoyed playing it back in the day, game has such a strong atmosphere and art direction. Great soundtrack too.
I will also say that the anime is pretty good. If it was not for Castlevania then this still would have been the best video game anime ever made. It's very well done.
I'm playing it for the first time and a lot of it is very samey but the big set piece moments are very fun. Also a ton of topless women running around. Looking forward to that huge swinging Lucifer dick I've heard about.
As far as gameplay and level design I will still stick by my favorite Castlevania Lords of Shadow.

Very underrated game. Perhaps the only of its kind that I can remember to really run the gamut in terms of level variety. By the end of the game it really feels like you've went on this years long journey. On the 360 the feeling is even more profound because it came in 2 discs which is insanity for a hack and slash game. Just felt like a very grand storybook adventure. Superb soundtrack as well.
I also always loved Vinny playing through the game over multiple UPFs until he finished it lol.

It really saddens me that the sequel is so average and at times, terrible. Just uneven.
Absolutely. The camera angles and art design was top notch. First time you come upon "the castle" and you see it framed in the distance as you traverse this gigantic frost shorn chain - it's like a painting. Also character design was outstanding. Carmilla was seductive without feeling like a cheap pinup. A far cry from her depiction in the sequel. I don't think all of it worked but enough of it did where by the end of the journey - and as you said it was a journey - I was completely won over by the experience.

Watching the digital foundry Cyberpunk video and these current gen consoles are terrible at Ray Tracing. Guess we have to wait for next gen for that to get good.
Ratchet and GotG look good with ray-tracing. Maybe it is just Cyberpunk that is shit?
I think generally using raytracing only for shadow-casting/AO gives the least payoff for the cost. For better and worse, we've gotten quite good at faking shadows efficiently. I'll never pay 50% frame-rate for it.
Reflections comes in second, and depends a lot of the type of content you have in the game. If it's only some water puddles or small metal detail surfaces here and there, it's still going to be meh IMO.
Top is GI, which is high-impact and really changes the scene vs a rasterized one without any bounce lighting at all.

Holy shit this Horizon intro just goes on and on doesn't it
Only going by the this first hour or two, the voice work isn't too hot either.
Aloy is boring, and Varl sounds like a Two Worlds character
It's a big drop off from Cyberpunk

Thanks for the tip! Knowing me, I would have went through all the side quests first
I wish they would drop the resolution race and just offer a RT+Framerate mode.
I wasn't having a terrible time or anything but you'll spend time getting hung up on things that the story progress will solve.
Nah. Ray-tracing in incredibly taxing on hardware. I don't know the in's and out's of Rachet but I would bet a mortgage on it being used in limited and specific ways if performance doesn't tank on a console when it's enabled.
Forza Horizon 5 for example only had it enabled in the Showroom mode because they couldn't hit performance targets if the car was being ray-traced in the world.
It's been a three-stage rocket for the Nextlander folks.
Initial video/pod: Everyone seemed down on it.
Post-release video: Brad and Vinny much happier with it, thinks it improves a lot after the boring start.
Infernax video: Vinny says it really takes off just after the point they stopped the previous video, and good thing they stopped there to not spoil things.
I would play it now. Who knows when you will be able to get a good card.
To be fair that's also Vinny who's pretty much the core demographic. From the reviews I definitely got the impression it still has a lot of the pitfalls of that type of game, like having too many rubberstamped activities and there being little challenge in the back half.
That doesn't mean the Ray tracing is shit on consoles though, at least in my mind.

be insane like me juggling dying light 2 and very soon to be elden ring and horizon once they arrive
What I mean is Cyberpunk is a properly ray-traced game. That comes at a massive performance cost even with only medium setting RT on PC. It's no surprise they sacrificed it to get the next-gen versions up to spec.
Frankly, ray-tracing is the future but the performance cost for almost no discernible difference in most use cases means until hardware is much more powerful it's going to be one of the last things I as a PC gamer enable and likewise one of the last things developers constrained by console specs will include in any fully featured way. Games that aren't as technically taxing as a massive high fidelity open world game will obviously be able to use RT more because they have headroom something like Cyberpunk or Forza doesn't have.

lol the twee sad indie folk playing under this, perfect
The total lack of self awareness, or any concept that other humans are involved when playing the game is kind of staggering.
It's like they never left the toddler stage where they think the entire world revolves around them and have no concept that other people really exist or have wants/needs/feelings.
There's a follow-up video on the same channel with the same guy trying to talk it off with "many streamers do it", "it's just streamer trolling" (~5:54)
Garbage.
