That's cool, it's not often that people actually meet their online friends. Because you know, absurd travel costs and expenses.

Are there updated graphics mods for this game? If so I might need to give it another run.

> but not enough for a Raid.

Not with that attitude!

This man didn’t play any games at all last year.

I want to connect my ps5 to a vpn. It says I need to go through my computer. I have a laptop around 5-6 years old, is this good enough? Or will the internet connection on the ps5 be really slow?

No, that isn't it for me.

For me it's the fact that it's something new, and it has personality. It's not just a shallow, soulless copy of a Soulsborne, it's not some regurgitated competitive FPS, it's not a shallow "open world" sandbox... it's its own thing, and it takes it to 11. It's not just some hollow attempt to cash in on what's popular.

And then you look at how the world and story is designed: It's just an adventure. You're not stopping some universe ending threat, there's no apocalypse, you're not some grimdark war-scarred fucking monster... you're just a dude on an adventure. The game doesn't have all the ridiculous drama and grimdark uber dark fantasy that literally everything else has.

Added onto that, the game treats itself as kind of a joke or comedy routine. Lots of gags, a fucking hype man to narrate, and so on. It's not edgy and dark and brooding.

And, one of the biggest things? I haven't even seen an option to put money into the game. It's just a game, like they used to be.

So this is really just a cosplay group

The Gravemind

Yes

How is it AAA?

It’s the Netflix version of friends.

For accuracy though.

It's a great costume though

No it doesnt

Edit: for those wondering the deleted comment was essentially

"Needs to be pastier"

[removed]

I'd say yes.

>So I don't know if Bethesda actually made the game, or just published it

Can't even be bothered to search for it lol

I married my online friend from Destiny last month 💖

It's made by MS subsidiary so yeah?

I wouldn't call it AAA, but it's definitely a great game. It's a game game and I miss those being made. Colorful art style, not constant talking and cutscenes. You play the game.

In a gaming world where we are oversaturated with realistic narrative style games it's a breath of fresh air to see something so different.

There's at least one stoner there.

Hi-Fi Rush legitimately surprised me. I almost wrote it off when watching Tango Gameworks during the Developer_Direct stream because it's so far removed from their previous horror genre releases, but I'm so glad I gave it a chance. Already one of my favorite games in recent memory.

Imagine downvoting someone for being self aware and stating that their feelings are silly 💀 Reddit doesn’t appreciate the grey area

Hi-fi is AAA game?

While of course it requires the game to be fun, a large part is down to the way it was released.

By effectively surprising everyone with an immediate release we had no real opportunity to build up an idea in our head of what it would be like as something to judge the game against. We didn't have months of build up, hype, drip fed content, or crucially anything shown that fails to make the final version.

Nice stunt for a one off game and worked well for them, but don't expect similar to happen for the next big AAA titles - Forza, Starfield, COD etc.
