Cutscenes are making mine pretty loud. It's not too bad when playing the game though.
Do the preorder items offer an uniquie advantage or is there better gear overall?
I don't have a problem with that depending on the media. See Yorgos Lanthimos' movies for example, where the odd stilted dialogue adds to their sense of an off-kilter reality. But the issue here is that the world is very much grounded in a logical reality built on the foundation of its setting, our world but ravaged, yet the dialogue feels unnatural and detached from how people might actually speak in these situationsMan, I'm really enjoying the flow of the game within the first four hours or so. While I've not had much opportunity to mess with the systems here, I like what they're doing. That said, holy shit the dialogue is stilted nonsense. People don't talk like this...
Videogame journalist being bad at playing videogames, what a shock...The several review videos of people falling over all the time are actually ridiculous now that I've played the game. Scanning terrain often and having, like..a basic understanding of momentum pretty much keeps you from fucking up.
what the fuck was all that about
One thing I'm definitely finding a bit odd is the size of the world. First off, yeah it's a big ass map. But I'm most of the way through episode 2 now I think going by the map, it looks like I've covered a gigantic portion of the country but it doesn't feel as though I have I guess.
It's an odd scenario, the map is huge, but nowhere near big enough to convey what its aiming for.

I've definitely thought that. And the fact that some sort of apocalyptic scenario somehow turned America into Iceland.
Are the online features unavailable? When I go into the settings "Log in" option is greyed out. Or is it because I'm not very far into the game?
That's... not very intuitive then? Change it to say "logged in" or something. There's no indication anywhere whether I'm logged in or not, unless I'm missing something.It's probably greyed out because you're already logged in, no?
Awesome, please keep them coming! :)
You got to compensate for the work game photographers can't do since there is no photo mode in the game.
This year has been a disappointing one in terms of game photography. :(
Seems you Walk slowerIs there ever a reason not to just hold R2 / L2 at all times? Seems fool proof for balancing.

Even when holding both down you can still rock back and fourth , I'm guessing if you hold it and start rocking back and fourth every sec counts , and you fall easier.Is there ever a reason not to just hold R2 / L2 at all times? Seems fool proof for balancing.
Really? I don't have the game yet, but didn't expect to read your comment, since everybody was talking about how clean it was. I'll get the game, but that is a bummer to hear. That stuff destracts me to the point of just not playing it (ie Bloodborne).I forgot aliasing was a thing. Holy shit it's bad during more "urban" areas.
Is the IQ better if I do super-sampling at the system level? Not impressed with the IQ here. 1080p user.
Preach. The opening with the landscape shots into the cutscene and the music over it was absolutely perfect.Only played up to chapter 1 where you get the morphine and Jesus f'n Christ. It's already a 10/10. All the cutscenes and the pure presentation is generations above everything else in the gaming industry. It's f'n mind-blowing.
It should show "online" at the top right corner of menu screen.That's... not very intuitive then? Change it to say "logged in" or something. There's no indication anywhere whether I'm logged in or not, unless I'm missing something.

A lot of the mechanics are starting to wear thin. The BTs are more of a nuisance now than actually scary. The stamina and balance mechanic is stupidly easy to handle/counter.
There's just not enough meat to the game.
Let me check in an hour or so when I'm back in the game. 👍It should show "online" at the top right corner of menu screen.
I'm traveling to Port Knot now. Combat is only going to make an easy game simpler. We'll see though.How far in are you? Chapter 3 is when it really opens up and adds more considerations
It's far, far harder to keep your balance when you're over the encumbrance limit, and I'd guess based on the equipment towers that 90% of those videos/gifs are. Try that, then see how easy it is.The several review videos of people falling over all the time are actually ridiculous now that I've played the game.
