Actually, it’s a rain shield for his cover (hat). Agencies that still issue formal covers, that aren’t ball caps, provide a rain shield to stop the cover from getting saturated. I’ve been issued a cover for a cowboy hat and it looks silly to say the least.

Maybe it’s just me and I know nobody is asking for my in the weeds opinion about this specifically: We need to stop assigning value to the opinions of content creators and streamers. Especially when we consider that their primary function is to be as sensational and as highly visible as possible.

For me, it was never more apparent than the release of Wolverine and the weeks leading up to it. I’m not commenting on the game itself, as everyone has their own opinion, but what we can’t deny is the constant barrage of “content” put out by streamers of them reacting to the same gameplay footage, with nearly the same reactions, clickbait thumbnails, and the same criticisms. They draw clicks and engagement. That’s how they get paid.

It’s more of the same deal for Gears of War. The game, in my opinion, is point blank Gnasher fantastic. I’ve had the best time with it. Clearly other people have as well because I’m getting into games in seconds. That’s what matters. Not the interpretation of streamers, who aren’t market experts or analysts, but the players who are enjoying the game. I could care less what the new age dime store podcasters and streamers think. Do I have minor gripes about the stuttering on PC? Sure. Did it stop me from feeling like a teenager playing the newest Xbox 360 title I spent the summer excited about? Sure didn’t.

My biggest problem with Wild’s story…here we go…is that it had one at all. Village hub, quest counter, depart, repeat BABYYYYYYYYYYYY.

Can report that it’s the same for myself (RTX 5090 i9 14900k) and my buddy (RTX 5070 Laptop with an unknown to me processor). Stutter when crossing into new areas or when running long distances. Typical Unreal 5 stuff. But I’m happy to report that we didn’t let it spoil our fun and have had the best time playing it.

Im thinking it’s just how the RE Engine handles Global Illumination. It’s present in all versions of the game but is amplified with the use of OLED displays. But I can confirm it’s also present in the Switch version as I played it handheld top to bottom.

You know, I was always on the fence about Zap and let negative opinions dissuade me without getting it and deciding for myself. It looks really cool here.

Weirdly enough, the only thing that stopped me from purchasing this were the overt ports on the shoulders. Just couldn’t get over it.

I’d really like Capcom to fix the flickering present across all versions of not only this title but their last three titles (Requiem, Pragmata, and MH Stories 3).

Ive made a long form video showing the flickering across PC and PS5.

She looks pretty different from the reveal cinematic? Not bad but a stark contrast to my eyes.

We’re definitely eating well, I just wish they’d address some of the dynamic flickering issues across the platforms. Maybe Onimusha will break the cycle, the demo was awesome!

Can you link your Twitter post?

Update: I’ve played the Onimusha demo and similarly to the Pragmata demo, the issue is not present in that build.

I’m going to try and work on better videos this weekend.

Working on it. I’m taking a video from the overworld. It’ll look like a full screen brightness shift.

Done. Pragmata is tougher because it’s not as frequent and most of the background are white. I’ll see if I can capture it.

Yeah, I absolutely can. I made the mistake of capturing the video on my PC the first time and perhaps in compression it didn’t translate or some such.

The Pragmata demo didn’t have the flicker. I played it several times to be sure. Imagine my surprise on full release.

Did the average user report seeing it after talking with you? This is important data so we can figure out if it’s an isolated or small scale issue.
