Does stuttering and lousy frame pacing count as a bug? That was such an issue on my (rather beefy) PC that I refunded the game. Shame because I liked it in general, but at this point I'll be waiting to see if that problem gets addressed before buying it again.

What in the fuck is going on here?

I'm so confused.

I don't think there's a ton they can do to make PS1/PS2 interesting to me since there are good quality PC emulators available for those games and it's trivial to download anything you want. Not a big fan of streaming games, so the PS3 library is probably a no.

PS4/PS5 is somewhat more compelling, but unless they start including first-party games at launch, it's a pretty difficult value proposition.

FYI, the Series X has been new in stock at retail price on Amazon US for 20+ hours. Exclusive for Prime members, unfortunately.

Between this and falling GPU prices, maybe things are slowly approaching normal with high-end electronics availability.

I can't read them without laughing my ass off at the outraged responses.

Poor babies.

@efesell: Maybe I played too many games in the early days of computer RPGs, but this seems fine to me. If I could get past my hatred of Souls combat, I'd be very into the idea of a modern RPG that doesn't explain itself. Break out the notebook.

@bigsocrates: I don't think that's an unusual perspective at all when it comes to Souls games.

It took me three tries to accept I just don't like playing them, and at this point I'm immune to the hype. Fortunately we live in a world of streamers, and I can still participate in the zeitgeist by watching other people torture themselves.

Might be worth having a look at Digital Foundry's optimized settings video.
