      Lack of collision, display boxes covering text, settings not applying to my gameplay, out of sync dialogue, overlapping indistinguishable audio making a horrible clashing popping noise, server issues (to be expected tho), cinematics did not adjust to me settings, ECT... ECT...
      D4 should be delayed 8-12 months for a shit load of polish, for consoles (played on ps4).

    • @finitesound
      @finitesound Před rokem +44

      Sadly that's already happened. Bethesda ruined Prey's chances, and the director of Arkane quit.
      It's why Deathloop and now Redfall are not immersive Sims. They've given up on their path to make generic games.

      @hidden. Well that's a bummer, I was wondering why Arkane seemed to be in a slump. Their first few games had such a strong and unique identity, probably thanks in large part to good direction. But lately I'm not even interested in playing them.
      At least Bethesda is still on track... releasing unfinished games with overbearing anti-piracy measures and performance issues, good on ya Bethesda! They haven't exactly thrived under their new ownership.
      I'm wondering at this point if Xbox has a clue how to manage games studios.

    14:33 Bears mentioning that Duviri Paradox is a coop-focused open world affected by five different emotional states, with a rogue-lite flow and progression (complete with side activities that grant passives), and a massive flying wyrm boss that, after players fly to it on their horses, requires climbing onto in order to defeat. And it's free...and it expands on The New War, a 5-6 hour campaign climax to the major story beats laid down in years past...and that's also free.

    • @Hagosha

      @Hagosha Ha, yeah. Honestly, I wasn't too surprised he didn't discuss New War more. He's said in other videos that he's had to pare down his gaming diet, and in terms of live services...Destiny won. And I try to respect that when possible, but...given how Lightfall's story disappointed, and how well New War was received, both in terms of narrative, gameplay variety, and the quality of the climax, it really deserved more attention paid to it. Especially in a live service genre/sector of the industry where live services and looters constantly do their stories dirty, and serve up the same tired gameplay...here's a 10 year strong free-to-play title that upended both of those fates and doing it gracefully and...barely gets a small sliver of a news show. 🤷‍♂️😔

      I think the issue with Kena is the controls and game mechanics lack refinement. The parry is a good example with its 0.1 second window. Whereas in a From Soft game the controls are much more crisp and the difficulty spikes seem commensurate with your character’s level. In Kena I don’t feel this to be the case.

    Hey Skill Up, I was wondering if you'd mention Wildfrost. It's a game that came out last week from a very small team, but shows a lot of polish in its design and presentation.
    I've been enjoying it in any case and just wanted more people to know about it.

    I had little hope for Redfall from the beginning. The look of it and gameplay never struck a cord with the me. But given what we know about it now, the game looking like the hyper millennial version of Vampire The Masquerade but with all the charm, wit and cringiness of Forspoken is probably the least of it's problems.

    The biggest frustration for me re: Redfall's 30fps cap is that so, so much of the pre-release footage was shown at 60! The fact that the X/S can't reach 60 also makes me think the PC version is going to be.. rough, especially as it's an Unreal "Stutter Struggle" Engine 4? Probably going to be a tough launch.

    I am curious, what is Denovo sales pitch that convinces so many developers to use them when it clearly doesn't work as advertised.
    Its got a bad reputation for poor game performance, its despised by paying customers, games are like broken within days of release (often performing better due to the DRM being removed)...
    how is it still being sold and used by companies? when according to reports they pay a fortune for something that fails!

    • @speedforce8970
      @speedforce8970 Před rokem +1

      Aside from poor performance which rarely happens since most games with Denuvo removed perform about the same as with Denuvo with rare exceptions like RE8, I agree. People hate Denuvo and due to some bad examples of Denuvo implementations, many people think that Denuvo just reduces performance and although it usually doesn't, the average person won't know that and adding Denuvo probably leads to a bit less sales. I guess the Denuvo marketing team is just really good or something.

    • @bruhder5854
      @bruhder5854 Před rokem

      Because it is working. As of right now, there's only one group/individual in the piracy scene that is able to crack denuvo and it takes them ages to do that. So now it's a situation where people in that scene have to wait for ages for any denovuo crack to show up. The performance hit sucks I understand but it is VERY clearly working well and companies know that.

    • @SirCanuckelhead

      I'd imagine it means the same the same thing it always meant, the publisher decided it's at an acceptable enough state to release and they want their money back plus profit. Not every dev gets the luxury of releasing when they're happy with the product otherwise they'd all add an extra year, maybe two to squash more bugs and add more content.

    D2 pro tip: the main frame rate physics issues are when at or above 80 fps, so you can cap it in the 75-79 range (which is super playable, especially for pve, imo) and you’ll almost never run into those issues again.
