The luminance settings perhaps? The CX iirc is a 1000 nit display so by setting your game to 2000 I'd imagine its negatively impacting it.
Someone earlier in this thread said the game is like a Saturday morning cartoon and I borrowed the game from my brother (who forgot he pre-ordered it and doesn't want to play right now).
That description is spot on and I'm actually enjoying what I'm playing (I've put about 2+ hours in so far and "officially" met the thief). I'm fully surprised by this game.

I bought Valhalla after enjoying Odyssey and now I'm disappointed that I did. I've not played it yet but I'm almost certain that I would enjoy this game so much more.
The Switch game has been delayed in New Zealand until next week. At least I'll have time to beat Hyrule Warriors before I can grab a copy.
It's great looking ! Still around 6h in. What is the number under the mount ? The one from Amazon has 3
That's how I've been describing it to everyone, at least the dialogue and presentation. Personally, I really like the dialogue. It's light-hearted, it's fun, there are some adult-jokes and dirty insinuations here and there, and even fun pop culture references. It's just silly, and I love it!
Said it before but the solution for me with Ubisoft HDR this fall has been Full range RGB on Console/PC and Black Level Low (or equivalent) on the TV. The "wrong" combination. Seems to work on Valhalla, Legion and this.
Not there yet (just had time for half an hour or so) but if I understand correctly this person had no such trouble, you might want to exchange notes. When I get here I'll let you know as well though.
Thanks!
I got this Thursday with my Xbox one and so far I'm really enjoying it, still don't quite have a handle on combat but puzzles are really fun. I've just been wondering around since the hall of gods and doing puzzles but I would like to upgrade some skills is if best to stick to main missions to get coins for upgrades ?
I think one of the first things to try to get is 5x dodge (it's just so handy). Also upgrading the gauntlets helps for puzzles. Other than that, really up to whatever you prefer. I also bought the Hammer skill, which is insanely strong.
Ares's Wrath is such a good ability when fully upgraded. Fills a good amount on the stun bar. Of course, doesn't do as much on bosses, for example, but very handy.
That's my most used ability.
It's also fun to launch enemies into the air then grab them and pull yourself towards them (using an ability). You can do this over and over if your stamina is good. Pretty much an infinite, haha.
Just hit the 23 hour mark. These puzzles are so fun. A few I left cause I needed a specific ability but man, just such a fun game to go through and explore.
Fully upgraded my Sword but haven't tested out the damage yet. Working on defense next since it's so low.
Been playing on Hard and hasn't been much trouble. If you unlock the right skills early on and really explore the map for new gear, you'll feel OP but there's definitely some challenges later on.
Sleeper hit of 2020 for sure. I knew next to nothing about the game. 10 minutes on the Stadia demo was enough to sell me. Highly recommend it.

So... what's an Epic Chest? There's one on an island in the Valley of Eternal Spring that I cannot figure out how to open for the life of me.
I think Hephaistos's Hammer is borderline broken. It's not the damage it does, it's the fact you are completely invincible while flipping before the slam. I just stay in close, ATK ATK ATK (with armor that gives DMG on full HP). When a red attack is incoming, just HAMMER. Not sure if the other abilities can do that (I literally just bought Athena's Dash now, 30 hours into the game, and I don't have Wrath).
I'm also playing on Hard. Will be interesting to see the final difficulty once the game is completed.
EDIT: Seems like Athena's Dash is also invuln. =O
Just had my first PS5 hard crash while playing this game. Screen froze after I killed some enemies and the PS5 turned itself off. I had to go through the initial trauma of thinking my PS5 was bricked as it wouldn't turn back on via the controller. Thankfully it eventually responded after I pressed the power button on the front and it started doing a System Repair and database rebuild.
But immediately following that it then went to a black screen with the system flashing blue and nothing happened again for several minutes until I again pressed the power button at the front which put the system into Rest Mode for some reason. I pressed the button on the controller and it turned itself on normally and did another database rebuild. Once it was back on it told me that it had deleted my Immortals Fenyx Rising save data as it was corrupted.
My suspicion is that the game auto-saved at the same time that an update for Ghost of Tsushima might have tried to install on the external HDD, as the update was nearly finished downloading. And that's what caused the crash. I could be wrong but that seems to be the most logical cause.
Up until the point that it crashed I was really enjoying the game, I had the same weird HDR issues when everything was insanely red/orange in the first area but once I got to the mainland it looked stunning. The vaults I've played have really reminded me of Breath of the Wild shrines, in a good way. Thankfully, I only seem to have lost about 5 minutes of progression and I haven't lost all my save data.
Sony seriously need to patch out these system bugs as up until now I've had nothing but a great experience with the PS5.

I just bought Athena Dash and realized that it probably would have helped (not sure if you had it at the time). I might go back and try it just to see if that's what you are supposed to do. However, I still like my solution better. LOL
EDIT: I'm almost certain that's what it is supposed to be now that I've seen other scenarios.

Shame about the performance on PS5. I was about to pick this up today. I'd buy it on PC, but Epic, so it's a no go.
Hopefully they get it sorted before it's in the bargain bin.

No one else having this issue? Probably my PS5 acting up again *sigh*
Its not the worst stutter ever but it is constant. Camera pan is the easiest way to noticed it. During normal gameplay its more like a feeling that somethings not quite right and smooth. Definitely playable for many and even unnoticeable for people who arent sensitive to it. It just sucks to have a suboptimal experience and it does constantly take me out of the game. Also several people have reported motion sickness issues because of it. Hopefully its patched soon.
My PS5 crashed when trying to install this game. I'm not sure what happened. I put the disc in and the game went into copy mode and stayed at 1 percent. It said 99 hours wait time to install the game. I ejected the disc and then tried to delete the game content that was on there and the whole system hung up. Not sure what to do now.
EDIT
Tried it again and now it's installing fine..
So do you guys just put your disc in and the game instantly install? See, when I do, the game doesn't do that if I'm online. If I disconnect offline it will, but when I try to do a check for update I just get an error.
Edit: Literally right after I finished typing that the download just popped up in my queue lol. Guess it's still just buggy
Definitely a bit buggy, on my 2nd try it copied but there is also an 8 GB update that downloads at the same time. I'm just waiting for that to finish now.
Seems the PS5 issue is now acknowledged by Ubisoft:

I keep finding these rock formations on the ground that look like they can be smashed to reveal a hole inside. Do I need a specific skill to do so? Maybe the one that slams the axe into the ground?
Also I'm on this sliding puzzle but I can only push the slides on the ground not pull which is making it harder. Is there a way to pull? They're heavy so the usual telekinesis doesn't work

Thanks for this, I won't even start to play the game until they patch it. I'm still grinding it out with Demon Souls. Another 2 months of grinding and I should be able to kick some ass lol.
Not that I know of.
No pulling. Something I realized on my 2nd or 3rd fresco was that you can push a double stack (if there's room).
Game is running pretty good through geforce now. My chromecast google tv seemed buggy with but I set it to 720p60 and manually adjusted bitrate. I might try 1080 but right now it isnt crashing anymore and no latency issues whatsoever. I can run all the settings on high without a hitch.
I just finished the prologue and I am having a lot of fun.

Me too. PS5 performance isn't great right now imo but I'm not hitting bugs.
I haven't found a way to open them yet. I think they're just a visual thing to show that hell is spilling out from the underworld or whatever.
Haha, that's not a name I've heard in a long time. I used to think the free climbing and verticality in that game was so cool at the time.
Never got to play this one, but I've been having similar "classic 3D adventure platformer" vibes playing this.
Its just a very videogame-ass videogame, like a lost 32-bit or OG Xbox game updated with a modern open world. It's somehow not just a colorful coat of paint on top of an AC skeleton, even though on paper it seems like exactly that?

This is good news, as it means that finding whatever is causing the issue will be easier.
