Let be real… this look like ****

[oz Helix oz]

This game looks like ♥♥♥♥, but gameplay is really good. The open world is very entertaining too. Graphics is not everything people

[level3]

I does look very bland. The worst visuals are inside the town IMO. you have empty streets without grass where there's no concrete either. I think that makes the game look like a ps3 title. Faces look bland too. And the lightning looks somewhat flat. It's much better in cinematics for some reason. The games performance to visuals ratio is bad. 4K doesn't help either.

However, the gameplay seems really fine. I'm only 4 hours in though.

Yes, indeed, it looks really bad and soulless at times. Whether it's the graphics or the world design. Better than Wo Long, but much worse than Nioh 2.

Elden Ring from temu.

10+ hours played, btw

Thank god I refunded before it was too late. I had a feeling it wouldn't get better.

bad graphics like ps4 and bad optimisation, do not buy this!

[D. Flame]

You quickly learn that people with 4090s and the like do not play games. They just buy overpriced hardware to brag about the FPS they get. If they can't then they game is garbage to them, regardless of the gameplay. This is why you see them playing games like CS2 at like 500 FPS.

open the map sometimes crashed ...
crashed 2x on veiled edge banner near yokohama.
objects / npc not show up when you at location. need to wait for few secs

I use 4060 rtx and my spec above recommendation. I tried to use standard visuals and limit fps to 60.

I would be fine with the PS3-era graphics if the gameplay is as good as Nioh 2 (which also looked outdated but that didn't stop it from being one of my fav games). The problem with this game, however, is why is the performance so atrocious even though the graphics is so bad?

I don’t have any problem with performance right now, but I know there is a lot of complaints about this.

Wait till you reach Yokohama.

Indeed, however with graphics being what they are I would hope that it runs optimally on every modern system... that is not the case.

I've been replaying Nioh 2 recently, and it looks much worse then this game does.
The areas in this game look much much more naturally designed.

I enjoyed Nioh 2 a lot when I played it the first time, but its area design was only improved compared to Nioh 1. It was still very bad in its own right.

Looks great to me

It's crazy how people's standards are so low these days.

Like I get it if someone says I don't care about the looks, only the combat loop, but to say that the game looks great is really weird as if we don't all see what the game looks like.

Or maybe some people are just little babies and consider everything that isn't on Cyberpunk 2077's level ''ugly''.

This game looks better than every other game they made and it does look good with max settings + DLAA. The brightness is also important to get right, I've seen so many people make their games look like trash because they didn't get their brightness low enough.

I get the performance complaints for people who don't have top tier PCs, which probably is also why their game looks bad because they have subpar settings to try to get fps. But I don't get the complaints from people that can run it well, especially if they are team ninja fans because this is still an upgrade from their previous games.

[Pnume]

It looks fine. No complaint from me on that front and so far the combat is pretty engaging and quite challenging on the hard difficulty. It reminds me a little bit of how brutal Wo Long was before they nerfed the difficulty into oblivion mostly by making the parry super forgiving. It doesn''t have the charm of Nioh 2 but the combat is way more fun.

[alumlovescake]

But performance is.

And a game looking bad and running bad is not acceptable.

If the game ran 3x better (like a game that looks like this should) then it would be fine

The combat system is also horrible. You have several options for dealing with them, but I feel like none of them are effective. Parrying is practically impossible to master.

"impossible to master" are you serious?

Sure I can agree that getting use to the combat system in this game can take a bit, but once it clicks is clicks. I have not mastered it but I have gotten to the point where I understand the flow, when to parry, when to attack, what style/stance to use, and I have gotten then hang of style swapping mid combat for some crazy cool combos.

This combat system is similar to Niohs where until you get the core systems down it will feel weird. I remember Nioh 1 feeling the same way until the stance switch/Flux mechanic clicked with me and the same can be said with this game.

Now I won't deny that this is a challenging game but I expect it to be because I am playing on the hardest available difficulty lol.

if you want to do only parry you are making a mistake, you have to study the opponent. There are some moves easier than others for parry, until the opponent opens up you should stay in block, attack to keep pressure on him and dodge. The red moves some are very difficult to do parry, try to dodge those
