That is unfortunate to hear. Does it affect performance/optimalisation a lot?
Well, DRM is a separate issue (though it’s absence is always a good thing). I´d prefer if games didn’t take RT for granted, especially with how the GPU market still is and how RT usually seems to make a game run worse than it otherwise would. But hearing that the game is polished and running well (something I also saw on Reddit) at least somewhat softens the bitter taste. Just like with S2, I hope I’ll be able to run it fine on my other laptop when I set it up and buy the game. Would hate to miss out on it just because of fancy lighting.
It does and not only that but it actually causes lots of visual artifacts, noise and ghosting. Not to mention the areas being too dark even with flashlight and other sources of light being on is caused by it.
Neither did I because those end up in 30 minutes or so, point of no return in S2 is 2-4 hours long, maybe even more depending on how fed up you are with it
I love arcade games their style and music are so cool! As a video game designer, they really inspire me. I also have a lot of fun with Tom Horn Gaming and enjoy spending time on Twitch following DiceGirl Egle, an expert slot streamer. My favs arcade game are: Pac-Man, Mario, galga, metal slug, sonic, and obviously street fighte.
Dipped into Astro Bot to play the Christmas levels and it was a wise decision to hold off releasing it until after it was made GOTY at the Game Awards. Just a fantastic medley of all the various gimmicks the game has to offer, some added Christmas and 30th Anniversary goodies to boot and new VIPs to collect two of whom came as a big shock to me.
It is interesting that a bulk of the characters that were revealed to be in the game data were added here. makes me wonder who they are keeping for the supposed challenge level add-ons.
Well I went back into Astro Bot today to do the speedrun levels and the new Winter Wonder level!
With the speedrun levels, while I enjoyed them, they have the same issue as the main game in terms of a lack of difficulty curve where they were either very easy or very hard (Rising Heat, until I turned off motion controls for the monkey in which case it became very easy). I would’ve liked harder time limits, I was able to beat the fastest time to unlock a bot on my first completion of three of the levels.
The Winter Wonder level was great, I loved how it utilized all of the major powerups from the game. Well almost all, the Rocket Dog was strangely absent. But hey, at least now the Mouse, Penguin, and Sponge powerups have appeared more than once! I loved the concept of finding presents, and I was surprised that they added so many costumes and speeder skins as a bonus! The bots didn’t really fit the Christmas theme, but I guess they wanted it to be like you’re unwrapping presents and don’t know what you’ll get
Of course the biggest thing these additions to the game did is make me want a major world expansion even more! Ideally I’d like a multi-year Season Pass where every 6 months or so they release a new world. With the sales success of the game and it just winning Game of the Year there’s surely a DLC in the works for 2025 right?
I don’t think I will start a new run until next week.But I’ve looked a bit around.
The jump is immense. Graphical, fps, doesn’t risk to give me half an headache (which 1.0 did).
Particularly like the new radio and phone UI. Smoother, not janky and lagging out.
The new items system is much better.
Clothes don’t have levels anymore, weapons and cyberwares are rarity tiered, every 10 level. No need to constantly swap inventory, or to reserve the looting of unique items to the end of the game at max level. (I remember the early days when upgrading a unique with crafting was at an unmeetable exponential cost, it became more feasible latter on, But this is even better)
I will finally be able to play the game with my holy grail of RPG run: no loot, buying only, money only through jobs.
In the meantime, here is my old V, I ran from the 1.0 to 1,6 on old gen.
A carefully crafted Nomad Netrun Stealth Techie. Managed to do all the main story and all the gigs without killing or even without even pacifying anyone.
SASONKO in a way. ^^
It was fun back them. And the level design is made for it if you look around.
I’ve been playing a lot of cyberpunk, mostly just side gigs atm. I got the last ending I needed which was the 2 years later ending and it was devastating.
This thread has a weird bug lately where most of the time, when clicking on it because of “new posts”, it starts me out on this old Pentiment comment, and I gotta scroll down to the newest stuff…
Lol, thanks, maybe.
This thing had been plaguing me for like… a month at the least? It’s not consistent, but it happens often enough I just had to mention it today.
