66 brightness seems the correct one to match Xbox serie x brightness. SWitching between both here

Thanks a lot.
It was a little weird and I was thinking it could be fault of my tv
It's not so much dark, as the blacks are crushed (like last gen's 'pop'). I've turned off HDR ( which stupidly is a system wide setting on PS5), but it's not much better
Is it just me but is the 30 FPS graphics mode absolutely horrible?
Now I dont mind 30 fps when I play on consoles if it means I can crank up graphics, and I dont even mind random frame drops or the like ..... But there's something very very wrong with Control's 30 fps mode .... It feels incredibly sluggish and seems to chug for some reason.
Switching to performance is completely different and feels like how the game should be played. I dont know how to explain it, but it feels like something is very wrong and very off, I had this same problem playing Shadow of War on the PS4 ...... The game just felt horrible to play on 30 fps because it didnt seem optimized like other 30 fps games.

Ashtray maze? I didn't know what to do so I just left that area. Guess I'll come back to it later
I am both loving and annoyed at the combat.
Sometimes I'm in control, heh, and other times it's a mess of stuff going on, Jesse is so fragile that a little mistake can mean a wipeout. There's definitely a notable difficulty spike at a certain point. The annoying part is probably less the death, and more the poor check point system, I do wonder the pain of the previous generation versions because the loading is nice and quick which I imagine they weren't previously.
I'm using mods on increased health which helps with the tougher sections, but ends up taking away from playing around with the other mods at the same time which is a shame. It becomes a hope that a bit of playing around will help an encounter, and hoping that a player didn't make terrible ability point choices.
And what's with the losing of source points every time you die? whoever decided on that must be a glutton for punishment, we'll reward you sucking with making it a little harder to upgrade or buy mods.
On the other hand I absolutely love there's an assist mode. I played around with it when going through the beginning areas again just looking to mess round, it's great fun going to town with charge and launch and not worrying about dying. I understand the need for a challenge, but as someone who's gaming time will probably be getting smaller with a little one on the way, it's nice that I could still run through the story on a "super easy" mode as it were and just enjoy the atmosphere and story.

This, the target practice section is a pain in the ass without it.
Getting crashes again and again on Xbox Series X. With save spots sometimes further apart from each other, this can be quite frustrating, because the crashes seem to happen like once an hour or so for me with no real visible pattern. I do enjoy the game but found both Alan Wake and Quantum Break superior to Control up until now. The combat is definitely interesting and impressive with all these physical objects in the world, but I also find it hectic and not as strategic as I had hoped for.
Multiple people have said this, I'm really curious to see when I finally play the game again. I played through and loved Control on One X, so I feel like i'll have a pretty good idea if 30fps mode feels different in any way.
Im really enjoying the game on PS5, playing on graphics mode, at first it was really jarring after playing Ghost of Tsushima, and getting accostumed was harded than with other games (like Miles Morales) but after adjusting is fine, the game itself is really atmosferic, I like to slow burn through it a lot.
Maybe it's the motion blur? Graphics was absolutely unplayable for me until I turned that off, now I dont mind (I also sped up camera movement a bit). It doesn't feel a whole lot different than say TLoU 2 now.
Yeah and I know that band isn't very well known but I'd remove that. It's a cool surprise when it kicks in.
Onto both DLCs for the first time now. Starting with the Alan Wake one.
I remember the first time I played it I spent about 10 in the ashtray maze, got confused and left.
I think I'll have another look when I play tomorrow.

Don't go to the ashtray maze till the plot takes you there
I'm going to be grinding points for that. Haven't messed with melee. Don't think I'm going to.
....
I wish they gave us a weapon wheel. I don't understand the omission when you can pause anytime to switch.
Melee was the very last thing I upgraded and it was just because I had the points lol, the big upgrades for launch and shield are too good
Really loving this game, glad I waited.
Playing on XSX and getting a bunch of crashes when I go into my inventory every now and then:(

The Ashtray Maze is a story-related section. If the game is not clearly indicating you to go there, you shouldn't waste your time there yet.
What are ERAs movie recommendations for a similar vibe to control?
(secret government institution dealing with paranormal stuff, general uneasyess, twin peaks meets X-Files stuff)

I've just played through the Ashtray Maze sequence, absolutely fantastic and my favourite part of the game so far.
Also starting to get a but lost now, think ill give it a rest for the night.
I have go go thr training area mission but I can't find a way in, its all redded over.
As is my other mission to get to an office in research.

It feels way different, and a choppier 30fps, form what I remember from playing Control on my X1X last year. Maybe this influenced by the fact that you can go back and fourth between 60 and 30 pretty easily in this game.
This didn't help at all, feels just as choppy while looking a bit more unnatural in the camera movements. It's not anywhere close to feeling like TLoU2 with motion blur off.
Damn, that's awful. I don't have a PS5 - is there a way to manually turn off the vibration in those triggers?
Mine sounded like it was dying when I was using Pierce yesterday, it was whining like crazy.
It's soo satisfying to use though 🤤
Aww yeah I freaking love Fringe. Need to rewatch it again.
I was stuck in these spots too so I ended up just Googling it lol. Not really a spoiler but here's what you're supposed to do (and what I was too dumb to figure out):
Destroy all the red blocks surrounding those areas.
Fuck, now I'm worried my Dualsenses will die quickly when I play Control :/
So false alarm... I think it was a game specific bug because I started up Astro's Playroom real quick just to be sure and it worked fine...
Its one of the biggest criticisms of the game. The worst map in the entire world.
I'm getting a weird "ghosting'" effect when slowly moving my character around or aiming with gun. It's noticeable only in 30fps mode.
Anyone else seeing this or am I going crazy?

They still haven't disabled trophies/achievements for Assist Mode? lol
