Just throw something again after they dodge, they kind of have some sort of cooldown and won't evade again for a littlr while

Yeah can confirm the bluriness when switching to the 30fps mode isnt worth it, 60fps makes for a much cleaner and clearer picture.
The TAA isnt bad, just the blur and smear is quite noticable on black backgrounds

Nah, the map sucks. It's hard to find your character on the map if you're not sure if you're exact location
And that's Control 100% again. This is such a great game. Narratively it's not for me, I don't engage with the lore all that much, but the vibe it sets extraordinary. Combat-flow is where it really hits the mark, allowing for a super aggressive playstyle , giving it that superhero feel. Launch some stuff, close the distance, empty your gun, pick-up the health, only need to retreat when things get chaotic and you lost the overall view of the battle, get reacclimated and go aggressive again. Launch is extremely OP. And if you still are having difficulty, don't forget to equip mods (I stick pretty much to extra health pick up, launch efficiency and stamina cooldown reduction). Others seem to really like some other gun variations, but Grip is where it's at for me.
While I had a hard time finding my way the first time through, now it was pretty easy. Yes, the map isn't as helpful as it should be, but the world design is pretty memorable (even if it's all black/grey/dark) and the inworld navigation is probably way more useful than the map it self.
That said... I do not like the Foundation DLC. It's fine for a regular playthrough, but I also like to get my trophies. Where the main game and AWE DLC give you some leeway with the amount of collectibles you need to get, The Foundation requires you to get 100% (regular collectibles, hidden area's and a DLC specific collectible). And I said that the game was pretty navigable, the same can not be said for this DLC. Area's themselves are unique enough, but the connecting corridors all blend together. So after finishing the DLC campaign I enabled the assist and did look up the things I was missing.

Finished and platinumed Control earlier today. Great game all around. My only complaint is that the end felt a little rushed. I would have liked for the story to be a little more fleshed out.
I thought Dr. Darling was such an interesting character so I would have loved for him to actually appear in some form at the end of the game. Not sure if I've missed something but all we found out about him was that he was one of the first to die during the incident during Trench's monolog during the final chapter (which can be skipped if you take the outgoing mail without listening to him?).

The last video of his and some line in the ending implies he went to some other plane of existence, I think it's in the office at the beginning of Take Control?
I set mine to 70 and that seemed about right but it may vary from TV to TV a bit. Still, a lot of areas are intentionally dark.
Still a shame.
Would have loved a chapter where we actually meet him and it would've also been cool if Pope had a more integral role at the end. Also really liked her character.
Also, did Trench talk about the janitor at the end? I think he mentioned something about a person sometimes acting like a plumber and sometimes acting like a god. I didn't read all lore documents so not sure if we ever got a confirmation who or what he really was. I just found a document in some restricted area that mentioned that agents were wondering how he got in there, which I thought was pretty funny.

I'm sure it's been said, but my god, I hate the map in this. Let me view one floor at a time, pleeeease.
The PS5 Ultimate Edition does not include those exclusives you mentioned.
I figured they were probably saving it for a sequel(which I really hope it happens)
Someone on the forum suggested 66 and that fixed it for me. So I would recommend that as well.
After playing Spider-man Remastered (30fps/ RT/ graphics mode) which looks spectacular btw, I have to say this game looks a bit rough in that department.
I love the setting and gameplay, but graphics and resolution are a bit all over the place. Playing on PS5, with HDR off and brightness at 65.
I understand it's a smaller team and budget is tight but I was expecting them to pull more juice out of next gen machines.

Well it technically is God Mode since you can enable Immortality.
It's kind of odd they let you enable this stuff with no consequences, would rather it be behind an easy mode or something. Ultimately I guess it doesn't matter since there is no online functionality at all in this Game.
You can pretty much ignore them completely because they're just randomly generated and will constantly pop up in your quest list. I personally turned off the quest hud element so I wouldn't have to see the notification all the time.
The game is insanely easy on normal settings I can only imagine.
Just finished it. Overall I really liked it and it'll probably stick with me awhile. Now to tackle the dlc
Ah, I am not talking about the randomized, temporary side-missions that pop randomly, which I do largely ignore. I am talking about the Expeditions which are started via Jukebox coin use. I have a quest in my mission log about using the Jukebox coin and I tried that thing and failed it twice now and I'm actively annoyed lol
Isn't that the DLC? I tried it once and swore it off, seemed awful. By that time in the game I was done with the combat, so doing a hour long mission where it was just killing enemies didn't seem like fun.
ohhh those, yeah I hate them with a passion and they require cheesing with seize or something and I barely put any points into that so I stopped trying.
Yeah, Jukebox kinda sucks, pretty cool outift you get from it tho
I thought there was some story tied to it? Maybe I should just give up if that's gonna be the reward. Couldn't care less about an outfit.
I haven't touched the Jukebox even once across either the original game + foundation/awe or The Ultimate Edition.
IIRC there's just four recordings from agents exploring there that you find in each challenge, otherwise it's just a sidequest
I think sprint is glitched.
I'm using toggle on and Jesse stops running all the time while I'm still moving, changed to toggle on and off and the same happens...
It's super annoying during a fire fight...anyone else having this problem?
Toggle on/off doesn't even work. If I stop moving I have to click again to sprint more.
Playing on PS5.

Someone earlier in the thread said it stopped being an issue after a reboot.
I exited the game and loaded again, but didn't close it. I'll try closing the game.
Thanks friend!
Game is awesome by the way! I'm loving every minute!
EDIT: Closed the game and it's still going on after reloading...😩
I have noticed the game will glitch Jesse's state so she's constantly in a slightly crouched battle state and the only way to reset it is to go the Central Executive or the main menu.
Still much better than my PC playthrough where I had all sorts of weird issues including a corrupt save after a crash.

Restarted the console...nothing....
I'll keep playing, having too much fun. Thanks for the help anyway!
i haven't really noticed any of that stuff just how good the reflections and lighting bring out the atmosphere, we just have differing opinions
It doesn't correct it.
The black crush made the Alan Wake area a fucking nightmare. I got stuck in a hidden room, put the brightness up to 100 to find my way out, but it does very little for the contrast. Just made the blacks blue.
I gave up in the end and restarted Control to play the UE. I've been playing it in RTX mode on the Series X and despite resenting having to replay the five or six levels I've already completed, I'm really enjoying it. I've delved into the Alan Wake expansion expansion now it's available to me and enjoying that too. Also really like the way it doles out achievements regularly.
But I have had repeated crashes to dashboard on SX - seems to be when I go into menus but I can't be sure. Anyone else having the same?

You can turn it off.
I think they are fantastic additions anyway. Especiallly the triggers.
Yeah I've turned it off, each to their own, just feels like playing with a broken trigger rather than simulating anything like an actual trigger action.
Finished the AWE DLC. Didn't really think it was up to much, I have no experience of Alan Wake as I'm PS so the main story was kind of boring. Side quests were good and I'm looking forward to completing the Arcade games
Time to move onto Foundation

If you complete all game types on both machines, you get a cool new costume. You can do this quickly by turning on the immortal and 1 hit kill assists if you just want the new outfit. Can always go back and play them legit after.
So before I beat the main game I started the AWE dlc by accident. I did a bit and finished the game. Now I'm trying to go back and it disappeared and I can't do anything. I'm at the branching path part and I'm just running in circles and can't do anything
