@sombre: Good luck! I have not been writing much lately but have been thinking of publishing a music blog that I started to write...nine years ago.

Fun to learn that Neil Blomkamp was involved with this. Dude has failed at almost every project he's been involved with in the last decade and a half but keeps getting more and more opportunities.

I'm back to assault rifles and hacking and am having a pretty good time! I might flip it up to Hard just to get some challenge going, though, as I definitely feel like the fights are pretty easy on Normal difficulty. Maybe I'll wait until I find a smart sniper rifle, though; that was pretty key for my last playthrough.

@rorie: Have you tried since that last patch? They added a toggle to tone down motion blur. Try turning it down to 2 or 3 (defaults to 5.) The graphics mode has always been a rather solid 30 but a lot of folks felt it was unplayable cuz the motion blur was way too intense. That could be your problem as well. Worth a shot if you're still interested in the game.

Yeah, I've tried all the settings at various times, including after the performance patch, and none of them make me think it'd be worth spending 50+ hours with the game. Just high standards I guess! It looks and runs like a PS3 game, so it's really weird that it's a PS5 exclusive.

I mean maybe if I turned on aggressive motion smoothing on my TV it'd be playable but that'd just screw up everything else I want to play/watch.

It's weird to see FF16 up for like... Severe Framerate cause I played that game in Graphics mode and it's rock solid the whole way through.

Is it just that Performance isn't solid 60? Cause I feel like if games not maintaining 60fps is grounds for hottest mess now then we're gonna have to make a lot more trophies.

@rorie felt especially passionate about bringing up the framerate issues in the last thread. Love you Rorie.

Yeah, the framerate in FFXVI made me stop playing around a half-hour in. Graphics mode, performance mode; both were definitely below whatever the framerate is to make it look smooth. I would've loved for it to be 30 but either it definitely didn't seem to be hitting 30 for me in either mode. I don't know how a game can look worse than Horizon: Burning Shores or GOW: Ragnarok and perform worse when it's a PS5 exclusive and didn't even have to worry about running on the PS4. Just an awful experience for a game I was looking forward to.

The writing on the villains in BL3 was so bad that I almost quit multiple times. They're super annoying and are constantly chatting at you and that made it pretty tough to look forward to playing it!

The framerate in FFXVI is atrocious. I seem to be one of the few having severe problems with it, but I'll take this opportunity to point it out! It's barely playable to me in the state it's in.

Avatar: the Last Airbender. At this point, I think most people who are gonna watch it, have, but those first 2-3 episodes are very "childish" compared to the majority of the series.

I got to the episode that most people seem to think is the worst in the series (they're trying to help two rival clans traverse some kind of canyon system with monsters) and that was as far as I got. I know it gets more serious later on but the humor just wasn't vibing with me.
