Happy December everyone!

Hopefully we all get plenty of time this month to all play our favorite games in-between all of our various traditions!

For me, I finally beat Ragnarok and all the side quests. It's a game that definitely grew on me the more I played it and by the end I felt so close to all the characters that I just had to complete the side content to see them all play out. I didn't do all the collectables but I definitely got my fill. Hopefully the rumored spin off sequel comes out soon.

This weekend I'm going to hopefully start Spider-Man 2 and continue Super Mario Wonder with the family. I also picked up Dragons Dogma: Dark Arisen so I'm looking forward to goof around in that to satisfy my DD2 growing excitement. Other than that I still have Sea of Stars I'm working through.

How about all of you? What are you all playing?

I have several that I want to start. But I generally don't have multiple hours to play. So I've started up Cuphead for the first time this week. It's simultaneously really hard and not nearly as hard as I was expecting.

I'm also trying out Remote Play on my PS5 with Monster Menu: Scavenger's Cookbook and it's okay. I might try it with World of Final Fantasy since it's only really viable with turn based games.

It’s simultaneously really hard and not nearly as hard as I was expecting.

That's how I feel about soul-like games.

As for Remote Play, how are you playing it? With PS Portal or on your phone / laptop? People have been playing Spider-man 2 and God of War with Portal without any issue, so I am guessing it has something to do with your local setup, maybe you can try to improve it.

I've been playing on my phone. I tried briefly with Cuphead (probably the worst game I could try) and the very minimal lag made it virtually unplayable. I probably could play GoW, but the little bit of lag would still bother me. I might try it though.

There's also an issue of randomly slow connection speeds, which is another reason I need to be a bit selective. But I'll have to play more to see if that's something that's going to always be an issue.

Hmm... don't have much experience with remote play. @[email protected] may have some input on it.

Remote Play has some general issues with lag and stuttering that are not network issues. Since Sony released the Portal I'm hoping they will begin ironing out these in software. That being said, games that require pinpoint precision are always going to suffer with remote play because there will always be some amount of latency. It's just physics.

That being said, the lag doesn't really bother me with GoW. You might feel it if you play on higher difficulties though. GoW does suffer from stutters though, but it's a remote play issue, not a network issue

[–] Omegamanthethird 2 points 1 year ago

I've read that due to the nature of the connection, the little bit of lag is just unavoidable.
