I was mostly talking about Phantom Liberty part - it is much more interesting and better executed than anything in the base game.

I played it at release on PS4 and then with Phantom Liberty on XSX. It was awful game with a great story then. Today it’s a pretty good game with one of the greatest stories in this medium. It’s often brought up as a comeback story for CDPR but lack of polish still rears its head in places. For example clothing pieces still have rarity label based on how much defensive stat it gave prior to patch 2.0 (which detached armour rating from the clothes).

It was the only last gen console to run Cyberpunk 2077 with a stable framerate. First party exclusives made good use of it too.

Well, did you?

Same. I have Game Pass Ultimate so I don’t need to ;)

Why not benchmark it against M4 with a fan lol? Qualcomm will go at amazing lengths to make them win in a leaked benchmark and then once this releases it won’t even achieve that. All modern phone chips are fast enough anyway but this is desperate even for Qualcomm and tech media should stop enabling it.

I don’t get it, regular people post on Twitter and traditional media are nice enough to credit them but somehow that becomes some kind of invasion to be stopped in your browser. Yeah, block those share / like buttons but if you just block whole social media platforms outright on purpose then why complain that they don’t work - you chose that yourself.

Person commenting above seemed to be negatively affected without knowing the reason and complained about it so I offered advice.

You likely block social media embeds due to overactive or badly set up adblock. Works fine here.

Me along with 3 other Xbox players are still waiting for FFXVI :(

This is precisely what Digital Foundry specialises in - objective assessment of technical performance. This one seems to be slightly boring due to game running well but for me at least this is important to know before any big game purchase. Not that I plan on buying Veilguard after some other reviews.

I’m not super into CoD and the last one I played (not counting remasters) were Advanced Warfare campaign and some Black Ops 3 multiplayer. They were okay but at that point I was quite tired with the series. I started BO6 on my XSX and the single player campaign is quite fun. I probably won’t be touching multiplayer on the account of being old.

The thing about CoD campaigns is that you have to suspend your disbelief and go with the flow of what game is throwing at you. There’s a lot of scripted scenes where you just have to push through to progress to next scripted scene. If you play to exploit that you won’t get much enjoyment. Treat it like a amusement park ride and it’ll treat you with bombastic set pieces.

I’m not sure if I’m missing anything lore-wise. Black Ops 1&2 which I played were heavy on spy / CIA stuff, plot twists and I enjoyed them a lot. So far I’m just assuming BO6 is cryptic on purpose like older ones so it doesn’t bother me that I jumped without playing previous ones.

Technically CoD games have always been rather accomplished with nice visuals while targeting 60fps (but not making a big deal out of dropping to 50 or so). BO6 looks very good.

Overall it’s not some revolutionary or overly ambitious game but it’s quite competent equivalent of a popcorn flick.

In Game Pass Ultimate it’s an okay deal. It is getting uncomfortably pricey lately but for now it’s still a good value.

I get what you mean but this kind of stuff is just infantile:

I’ve only seen Skill-Up review but it looks like this guy assumes BioWare is toast and won’t be sending many early copies in the future. I’m confused at who’s the target audience of this game. Is it the League of Legenda crowd?

Maybe Dragon Age wants to be a game about shooting Christmas lights at bullet Christmas light sponges?

I wait for a Digital Foundry tech review before making a purchase on AAA game these days. They tackle what’s quantifiable and add their thoughts on the game in general which is about as much as I need from a professional outlet.

It’s available for preorder as an outright paid app, at least on Apple platforms.

Yeah, I use video games recreationally, dude. CSGO, GTA, MDMA, FIFA - you name it.

I’m convinced that media that keep saying this are in cahoots with advertisers who have noticed this ages ago and have astroturfed Reddit beyond being reliable source of information since then.
