What are you playing this week? (2023.10.27) (self.playstation)

Hey everyone,

My bad for forgetting to post a thread last week. Since then I've been continuing to work on Ragnarok and I've started Super Mario Wonder with my wife, and a bit with my daughter. I haven't played too much of Wonder but it really is fantastic so far.

BG3 and Spider-man 2 are next in line and currently on the back burner. I really don't want to have to juggle 4 games at once but I might have to play some Spider-man 2 soon.

Also in the last week I beat Cocoon. All I can say is...play it. It's beautiful, the puzzles are great and ramp in difficulty nicely. I know Playdead didn't make this one, but the comparisons to Limbo and Inside I think are still valid. If you liked those games I would definitely give it a try. I think it's better than Limbo, and on par with Inside. Idk if I can say it's better than Inside, but it's definitely not worse. It's right there with it I think. I can see how some might like Inside more though. I don't want to say too much but as far as character, level, and art design, multiple times while playing I remember asking myself, "How did this come out of someone's mind?" It's so very alien in all the right ways. Give it a go. I beat it in about 3-4 hours and I'm still thinking about the ending and the whole experience and what it all means.

Anyway, what're you all up to this week?

The shimmering is extremely distracting. The human visual system is very sensitive to motion. This isn’t just a problem for people who care about visual quality. The game is basically unplayable as it is.

Lol, no, it isn't. Your brain is rotted if you think that. You may just be too far gone to enjoy things. A shame for you! More enjoyment for normal people

It legitimately made me laugh when I read you say, "The game is unplayble"

Stop making excuses for developers half-assing their games and using upscaling as a crutch.

[–] echo64 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Ohhh noooo, they made something amazing, but there's three pixels off, so it's unplayable trash

I can not imagine living like you do. I'm sorry, it's so weird.

It’s not just the shimmering, it’s blurry as fuck.

[–] echo64 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

this is where the brain rot sets in, or you have an undiagnosed visual problem, that could be it.

it isn't. no normal person would look at that game and say "it's blurry as fuck" no one - aside from you and other people who suffer from this digital foundry induced brainrot.

I don't even know if digital foundry did a thing on this game, i just assumed they did because all you guys are exactly the same. you are not acting like a normal person, you're acting like a weirdo.

What is normal? I know plenty of 'normal' people who think LCD televisions are perfectly acceptable. Does that sound normal to you?

[–] echo64 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

fucking yes, of course it is. how broken are you
