Once upon a time long ago games were just enjoyed for what they were...
Ghost of Tsushima - directors cut
- Thread starter hyperseven
- Start date
I'm pretty sure I remember graphics being discussed at every stage of gaming as I was growing up. It's just diversified more.

Maxed out with dlss quality @ 3440x1440 and getting 70-80 fps, some areas go up to 100 fps, couple areas where it drops to 60s. Frame pacing is very good so it feels nice and smooth even in the 60s. FSR 3 frame gen brings frames to 100-120 on average and motion fluidity/clarity does look better but it doesn't feel as smooth and there are also graphical artifacts with FSR 3 FG as shown in technical articles so I just keep it off.
I think people are giving it too much credit for the performance as the visuals are very dated so I'm not surprised at it not running like complete ****I would be expecting more FPS for the visuals on display tbh. It's the art style and overall world design which really makes it excel. The shadows are laughably bad at times imo, as in they are hard and not diffused at all so some scenes just don't look right (@Calin Banc this would be a good game for RT shadows)
I would still rather play this than Hellblade 2 though tbh. I played the first one until it bored me to tears. Think I tried it on gamepass a couple of years ago.
As much as I love graphics, if I can't stand gameplay I get bored fast. Uncharted comes to mind. Awesome graphics, basic boring gameplay. I had to force myself to complete it as I dropped £20 on it or something like that on steam.
Either way, I won't be picking this up until it is much cheaper and I check out reviews to see if I will like the gameplay.

Dude. Sounds like Jensen gave with one hand and screwed you over with another, as he is getting in the way of you enjoying non RT games which is still many

As you know I like RT myself, but it's absence doesn't bother me much either. If I like the game I quickly get used to the graphics anyway. Happens with OG Deus Ex to me every time I replay it. At first I am like oh my these graphics. Half hour or so later the graphics look perfectly fine

Just an FYI, don't bother with all those YT vids saying which skills to get first, which order etc etc. There is enough skills to max everything out in a single playthrough and my biggest advice is to sneak up on Mongol leaders and examine them (R2 on controller).
This gives you a bonus leader kill point alongside the point for actually killing them.
Also, the charm to tame enemy dogs is beyond OP...

Why not want both? They are 2 very different things.....

Not at full price if you own other copies already. Wait for it to drop in price.
The games good but I wouldn't buy it at full price if I had it on PS5.
What gpu do you have? If you're "only" going to be running it at 60fps I think there's even less reason to buy it on PC, as graphically it doesn't offer a night and day difference over the PS5 version in terms of textures etc.

Started playing this not long after completing a back to back playthrough of HZD and HFW. At first it felt quite dated somewhat in terms of graphics/presentation but moreso in terms of systems. However, now around 17 hours in and a good chunk of the way through Act 2 and these initial impressions have now changed and this is slowly becoming one of my all time favourites. The atmosphere, music and art style are fantastic. The character development, particularly Jin's, is really starting to shine and the combat feels really meaty with a considerable amount of depth. Can't wait to play the rest of it to its conclusion.

Just come across my first and very frustrating issue. Sound bug where the player sounds have just disappeared, it has coincided with entering the Fort Kaneda. Dosnt seem to matter what I do or change it keeps happening. Seems its a known issue and I've tried all the recommended temporary fixes. I'm just going to put the game on the back burner for now and wait for a patch.
Loving combat in this. Although I'm ignoring the rock-paper-scissors system as it turns fights into a simple mash Y to win if you're in the *right* stance. I'm just sticking to the only realistic kendo stance (the two handed stance) for all fights and you actually havce to dodge, parry, time attacks etc.

tempted to give this a go on a 2080 super graphics card, trying to hold out for nvidias 5000 series release, anyone playing it on older hardware ?
