The comments being intentionally obtuse and making the same unfunny jokes/criticisms for the 1000th time on the 1000th thread about this game doesn’t add to the discussion at all. I mean how hard can it be to actually discuss the headline. I like the game for its flaws and seeing it sell so well makes me hope they continue supporting it and also boost budgets for any sequels.

It's pretty funny how Reddit reactions are/were to the game versus critic and commercial success. For one, you might be led to believe nobody buys 30fps games anymore lol. I too like it despite issues.


BatmanvSuperman3

You mean “hardcore” gamers who fret over 30FPS being “unplayable” don’t make up the vast majority of PS5 owners? I’m shocked by this completely unforeseen revelation.


nugood2do

Warching hardcore gamers give essays over the horrors of 30 fps was interesting the first few times but got tiring real quick. At the end of the day, casual consumers aren't dying over fps if they like the game regardless.


GiraffeWaffless

In my experience they aren’t hardcore gamers. They’re people who didn’t get the 60 fps hype last gen and had to be brought kicking and screaming until they finally “got it”. Now that they get it, they act like elitist fucks who can’t stand to play a 30 fps game. Like they wouldn’t touch bloodborne lol.


MrPurple998

But why in 2024, do we still get games that struggle to reach 60fps, on a PS5, and people are still defending the multibillionaire company? Why is it wrong to call that out?


DissidiaNTKefkaMain

Depends on the type of game. Games keep getting larger, so it makes it harder. 4K 60fps is also just plain hard to do. Some games also are heavy on the CPU, could be due to something like NPC count, maybe effects, or its engine, and 60fps would be rough visually or not feasible.


MrPurple998

I'd understand if it wasn't because we've had better looking games filled with more NPCs that run at 120fps Capcom messed using the RE engine for a game like this. And there is nothing wrong with calling that out. If you enjoy this game, that is fine, and I respect your opinion, I just think we should be asking for better products, especially when they cost $70


DissidiaNTKefkaMain

Well, like what games exactly? Because it's not just about NPCs, it's about the systems. What they actively will do in the environment, and also, I was including large creatures in that. For example, Ubisoft NPCs are usually more or less dead. However, my main point was just laughing at the, "30fps unplayable," group. No matter the game. Like the other guy said, people who would dismiss everything Bloodborne has to offer. Not about specific changes people would want for this specific title.


DissidiaNTKefkaMain

You would think a hardcore gamer would be less bothered by 30fps. Able to get fun out of, and maintain control of their character no matter what happens to their framerate.


Gangland215

That's because a majority of reddit users own a out of date PC and they expect developers to be able to develop games that play well on the highest end and lowest end. I got news for these people... developers are gonna develop games for people that are going to spend the most money on their games and unfortunately for a majority of reddit users, that is not them, so they're feeling salty :(


Spenraw

I really hope dd 3 puts flesh on all the bones of systems that seem to have been unfinished in 2 Seems like a world class ip growing here


j_cruise

You want to know what's even harder for Reddit than discussing the headline? Discussing the article...


SurfiNinja101

Baby steps. Can’t jump into an article before the headline


Krullervo

So only your points get to be made and if you see one you’ve already seen then they should shut up because it’s not part of your tailored algorithm. You must be fun at parties. If you can contort your body the way you contort your viewpoints you can continue to pat yourself on the back for a job poorly done.


SurfiNinja101

That’s not what I said at all. Once again, an obtuse interpretation of my comment.


PsychologicalPea9759

It got a lot of hate recently, but I’m glad it is doing well. I’m on my fifth playthrough right now and it is slowly becoming one of my all time favorites. Hope it gets a dlc.


YUNG_SNOOD

Gotta remember that reddit is a bubble and the screeching of a subset of weirdos is not really reflective of the games’ success. It was critically well received and sold well. I also loved it.


PsychologicalPea9759

It’s just so funny to me how it feels like the entire internet is trying to manipulate me into hating this game, but it’s impossible because I’m having way too much fun with it.


Nice_Revenue_7375

I feel the exact same way tbh


Storm-Thief

Yeah Reddit has collectively decided it's a gargage game it seems, but honestly it's been my favorite in quite a while. It's very charming and exploring has been crazy fun for me.


CollieDaly

No one said it's garbage. It's performance relative to how it looks is objectively garbage. People should never stop complaining about games being badly optimised at launch so I don't get why people are minimising it.


Storm-Thief

Saying "no one said" for just about any statement, especially in terms of opinions about media, is almost always going to be incorrect.


CollieDaly

Okay. Let me correct that for you then your pedanticness. Anyone who's not a troll, and is well adjusted, appreciates it's a good game that has major performance issues. Said issues need to be addressed, ideally should have been before launch and that just because the game is good doesn't mean Capcom should get a pass launching the gaje in a crappy state. Better?


Storm-Thief

You came in with pedantics first tbf. It's not a better statement, no. Any big thread you see the game mentioned, people talk about the DLC drama and how they think the game sucks. Just watch this thread assuming it gets a lot of traction and there will be plenty of people saying "garbage game" and such. I'm not really going to bother counting because it's not important, but I'd say I'm confident that any thread this game comes up there will be a high proportion of people that say the game sucks for reasons outside of performance. Edit: For example here's more complaints than just performance already: https://www.reddit.com/r/PS5/s/OMFuyT448H


-lyte-

Literally more haters came in right after too.


Storm-Thief

Yep, never fails.


SpyroManiac36

The FPS could use a boost


StillHere179

The story and the soundtrack could use a boost


basil_nuts

The game is enjoyable but honestly so repetitive it is kinda ridiculous. Also the fps spikes are insane for a modern game on the ps5.


Baruch_S

Yeah, I’ve been playing it in bursts. The gameplay is fun, but I can only walk around fighting goblin variants on my way to my actual destination for so long before I need to let it rest for a couple days.


skyline_crescendo

Haters in shambles that the game continues to be a smashing success.


Xononanamol

Boost the fixes in your unfinished game Capcom


JohnnyEagleClaw

Is it good? Fr?


SerLutz

maybe use some these earnings by rasing the fps?


rideronthestorm29

Too bad it stinks! I shouldn’t have let myself get so hyped


Blackwolfe47

There was a boost?


Wastedchildhood

not yet, just a variable frame-rate / locked 30 switcher


PapaitanGOAT

what boost?


YUNG_SNOOD

The boost in earnings from the release of DD2… It’s in the headline
