    I am reminded how much better Forbidden West looks and runs on PS5 compared to either version of Zero Dawn.

    Really? I’ve played both on PS5 and didn’t notice any real difference in performance or graphics. I did notice that the PC Version of Forbidden West has vastly higher minimum requirements though. Which is the opposite of performance gains.

    Who the fuck cares if leaves are actually falling off or spawning in above your screen to fall?

    And BG3 has notoriously low minimums, it is the exception, not the standard.

    If you want to see every dimple on the ass of a horse then that’s fine, build your expensive computer and leave the rest of us alone. Modern Next Gen Graphics aren’t adding anything to a game.

      HFW runs like butter on PC, and personally I noticed a big difference between HZD and HFW on PS5.

      I’m assuming you’re playing on a bad TV. I have a 4k120 HDR OLED panel, and the difference is night and day.

      I also prefer to enjoy new things, instead of not enjoying new things. It gives me a positive energy that disgruntled gamers seem to be missing.

          So you’re claiming new hardware isn’t perceivably better, despite not using a display which is actually capable of displaying said improvements. I use such a display. I have good vision. The quality improvement is extremely obvious. Just because not everyone has a high end display doesn’t mean that new hardware is pointless, and that everyone else has to settle for the same quality as the lowest common denominator.

          My best hardware used to be Intel on-board graphics. I still enjoyed games, instead of incessantly complaining how stagnant the gaming industry is because my hardware isn’t magically able to put out more pixels.

          The PS5 is a good console. Modern GPUs are better than older ones. Games look better than they did five or ten years ago. Those are cold, hard, unobjectionable facts. Don’t like it? Don’t buy it.

          I do like it.
