For some one like me that will maybe play a game for less than an hour at times, that can be pretty bad actually. Luckily I was able to get to the save point and stuff in the game. But the exit option was still not available.


I know that there are some people like me that will buy a game and maybe play it for 30 or less minutes and then have to start all over because in some games they don't have a save option (not even an auto save option) until well over an hour into the game. The menu thing still doesn't make sense as to why it would be locked out especially if you wanted to change graphic stuff. But then again this game was not made with PC in mind? So PC features like that would not be it's top priority.



For me it just says "pause" and that's it.



By the way the game looks very muddy.

I'm not sure why that is, since it should be using vector art just like P5 it should be able to upscale to 1440p without much issue but that's not the case and stuff like the character portraits during talking parts don't look sharp.

Also there is an aliasing issue, as an example when the police investigator are having a meeting the lady in the back looks a fuzy and not sharp with clearly defined shapes.

By the way what does rendering 2.0 do?


Also in glad that I beat P5 Vanilla last year so I understand what's going on in this game but sadly that will not be the case for other playing the game.

The game's Anti-Aliasing isn't very good. Reshade's SMAA does a better job. Also, if you want clearer text & UI, you're gonna have to turn off AA.

No AA:

SMAA:

Personally, I'm using Reshade's SMAA. It does muddy the text a bit, but I'd gladly take that over the aliasing, especially around the text boxes because they're animated.

This is how it looks in motion with no AA:



Rendering Scale is SSAA. 2.0 = 2 times your current resolution. It only applies to 3D objects.
 
I just reinstalled cities skyline and I don't remember if I always had this problem, but I noticed that the text in the tooltips is a bit blurred?
I found someone with the same problem on reddit years ago but looking online it doesn't seem to be an issue?

Slightly off topic......Do any of you partake in the odd cocktail now and then and if so what's your favourite?

I've been experimenting over this lockdown period and just whipped up some Mai Tai's and they are deeeee-licious.

Speaking of that in the opening ceremony announcement for D2 Resurrected they mentioned the starcraft remaster as a point of reference almost as if the the warcraft remaster never happened. I mean and the remaster for Starcraft came out in 2017

Yeah, partly due to OCD maybe, but the more I dig the more I'm lost. EaseUS Todo Backup took hours to create the backup, and when I tried an incremental backup I canceled when it was telling me it would take one more hour. Not even sure it would have been the final duration.
I just need a solution to locally backup some directories, the most important of which is my Calibre Folder (my mum would forgive me for losing that one, maybe, in case of a fire ? :astonished-face:) and Family Pics, that's all.

I personally like Bvckup 2. It is a simple and fast solution for file based backup. But it costs money.
An alternative is Free File Sync. It is an open source backup tool. I does not have the nicest UI but it does the job (at least in my experience).

I appreciate your dedication to science and craft. Personally, I don't care for cocktails. I like to do infusions. Like I have a bottle of bourbon that on its own isn't anything great, but add some vanilla beans to it for a few months, and damn.

This can be done with almost anything using vodka or moonshine. I've got a rosemary infusion and a passiflora pulp infusion that are both really nice.

I stand corrected on that at least. I wish they did much better in the tech department. This is a full price game after all.
Tempted to pick this up on a very deep discount.

Late answer, but I use Cobian Backup. An old colleague suggested it a few years back.
It's old as dirt and not being developed anymore (I think the original creator sold the code base but retains the rights to the older versions).

It's free and works for me. Full or incremental backups, scheduling etc.

That must partly explain it. Awesome that a Persona game is coming to PC day and date though.
Just a bit disappointed Japanese devs have largely neglected graphics since the 360 era. They used to be a the very top.

P5R's new palace was gorgeous. Stylized graphics are hugely popular and not everyone really wants to make realistic looking graphics for their games.

Square Enix is pretty much the only major JP dev that actually cares about making things look realistic these days.

Update from Queen from a very unlikely and hostile thread :
"
all these posts are actually mine, i have posted reg on meta stuff i know or have heard, going through the steam threads ive posted alot of general info i get told etc.
i saw it mentioned in comments how my leaks have only been posted on meta and thats because its mostly a small place and mostly all just a bunch of people who have followed each other through communties over the years, generally not out here to lie or get some wooo internet cred for leaking shit, mostly just posting about things i know are certainly happening or some things that have been in motion but at same time could be stopped before it reaches public but ill happily mention still.
few things that probs wont be happening is bliiz/activ coming to steam for now early last year they were intriguqed by how ea was doing with steam but have also seen good numbers from their own client and are deciding to just push that now.
with many things so many plans shift alot, one minute itll be in production the next update its canned or something as such.

the kingdom hearts project for instance was actually finished in jan last year atleast from massive testing purposes etc. ninja gaiden remaster i had known about since april may 2020 and knew of the announcement coming this month.
destiny 3 at one point was in a production stage and they then decided to shift motions into cutting content on destiny 2 and go full in further on destiny 2.
i have taken part in tests in quite alot of product tests. some are paid some unpaid and just from knowing people.

i normally dont get much info regarding dates and announcements or release dates etc but i do mention them when i know and are confident in them, most of my info is generally things like product, who making it etc etc.
like elden ring curent targeted date is september to october this year with marketing ramping up soon.
feel free to reply here or pm me and ill answer what i can"


Another post :

kojima and cory espepically took part in shifting and pushing stuff like horizon onto pc.

theres reasons why cory keeps teasing pc in his god of war posts on twitter now and again.

uncharted has been in works for while now and will probs co incide with a release on ps5 too. i can see god of war coming on pc this year with ragnarok pushed to next year.

some of this stuff was meant to come last year but covid and then the state of the horizon port has basically put things on a clamp and make sure these things are red hot so to speak

Hopefully she is right about God of War. But it seems like she is merely speculating unlike previous mentions where she seemed positive.

Time will tell but I still think Sony are launching a digital platform or a sub service ala Game Pass this time for PC.

Makes sense what she wrote, also wonder who the user who posted that post on Reddit is.

Also, many of those users are quite frankly disgusting towards Queen .

Yeah people are really angry for no reason. Reddit can be a scary place sometimes.
Props to Queen for even bothering to answer.

I know I would not do it.
 
TIL there are a bunch of good games released last year and developed by French people (apart from Tell Me Why).

It's one thing to disagree that certain things from the leaks aren't happening, like I still don't believe non-VR Alyx is happening or Destiny 3.

But don't be an asshole about not believing certain leaks.

I hope this won't discourage her from posting what she can share here. I would not blame her for stopping though.
Letting us know is not worth being harrassed.

To be completely honest I don't give a damn about anything she leaks with the notable exception of anything Sony-related.


Uncharted is not coming to PC though, that's just not something my mind can properly process. She has to be wrong on that one (once considered, now canned maybe)
Days Gone could come since it's UE4 and I'm sure Bend's janitor will do a good job.
God of War to drum up excitement for the sequel.

I could see TLOU's multiplayer being on PC but not the single player.


Prove me wrong Sony.

Yeah, once Queen's leaks started getting outside attention I kinda figured it was only a matter of time until something like this happened. That's why I said something when Detective Rando paid us a visit a little while back. Just seemed like bad news to me.

Also, from what I understand, Queen makes it a point to post her leaks only here because it's a small community. So whoever made that reddit thread is a fucking asshole. Like, seriously, what the hell?
