thinking the castrated version of witcher 3 is even in the same league as the order when it comes to graphics and technology is the fucking definition of deluded. hermits are hilariously sad.

Nah, it's Sony fanboys that have always had delusions of grandeur and who think their console is some kind of super computer. I don't even own a Nintendo or Xbox console, but at least those guys for the most part like their consoles for the right reasons and are realistic about their consoles' limitations.

And, yes, we know you are going to do your damnedest to play up the whole downgrade thing because you think it somehow invalidates The Witcher 3's graphics, but you're wrong. Downgrade or not, the game still looks incredible.

And, of course, you are going to use more supped up photo mode shots of The Order 1886, because you know it doesn't look all that impressive much of the time when you are just playing it.

Here are some more realistic screenshots of The Order 1886:

Those are screenshots I took while playing the game. And, no, they're not the most flattering pictures, but they are realistic. That's the way the game actually looks much of the time while playing it. In motion it does look better and I do acknowledge it is one of the better looking console games on the whole, but it's definitely not this insane graphical monster that you make it out to be. Look at those textures. Look at the flat lighting in much of the game and the relative scarcity of shadows from direct lighting. Aside from the nice shiny specular reflections on the leather and metal on the character models and some environment objects, thanks to physically based rendering (which The Witcher 3 also has), most of the other textures are rather meh. Now, it's all hidden behind a massive amount of film grain, blur, chromatic aberration and depth of field effects, and that seems to really fool a lot of people. But just looking at what's actually being rendered in terms of the graphical composition it's not the most impressive game around.

sure it looks good compared to gen 7 titles

What a bullshit comment. That shot he posted looks better and is more technically impressive than anything I've seen on my PS4, and that includes The Order 1886, Tomb Raider Definitive Edition, Infamous Second Son and Killzone Shadow Fall.

The Order 1886 doesn't even beat AC Unity on PC, let alone The Witcher 3.

But like the typical blind, mad-cow-disease-ridden Sony fanboy that you are, you'll continue downplaying amazing looking multiplats and hyping Sony exclusives as the second coming. This is why cows are widely known as the most delusional group of fanboys around.

Didn't it approach the million mark in about 10 days? And wasn't it 4th on an individual sku basis?

Anyways, all the Souls games are floating around the 2 mil territory, right? These games aren't smash hits, but anybody still calling them niche either doesn't understand what niche means or is just perpetually salty about something they don't like.

Reminds of people who still call MGS niche. Just because a game isn't CoD, GTA, Skyrim, Mario Kart, Minecraft, etc. doesn't mean it's some obscure franchise/title.

Yeah, man. A million in 10 days, on one platform (one with a horrid attach rate, I remind you). The game sold well, people can bring forth all sorts of explanation about a game drought or whatever other nonsense, the fact is that it sold well, it exceeded all expectations. It is not a niche game. A niche game is Persona (series sales of 6 million across 14 different SKU releases) or Metroid (series sales of 15 million across 12 different SKU releases). If people call Metroid a major franchise, ****, Souls is far bigger than it ever was.

To be clear, Dark Souls and Dark Souls II are at 2.5 million each (with Scholars of the First Sin, II is probably beyond 3 million at this point). Bloodborne is at over a million. Literally the only 'niche' Souls game was Demon's, the very first one, which had sub 500k sales worldwide. That's it.

People need to stop living in 2009.

When people say niche surrounding a Souls game it's not only because of the low adoption rate, it's because it REALLY requires a special kind of person to be able to actually play it. There are plenty of games that don't appeal to me and don't appeal to others but we can play them no problem and still find some enjoyment, a Souls game is not something where this happens, you either love it or you fucking hate it, and A LOT of people hate it.

I do agree that it's that way for the majority of people, but I guess I'm a little weird in that I do really like the combat and challenge of Bloodborne, but I also find it fairly grindy and repetitive and some of the design decisions are head-scratchingly stupid. And aside from the combat I find it to be really weak in terms of most other things I expect in an RPG (yes, even an action RPG). It's a good thing, then, that I enjoy that basic gameplay loop enough to want to sink time into it. If I were reviewing it I would probably give it an 8.

But, yeah, I do agree that the vast majority of gamers who have played it either hype it up as the second coming, or they absolutely hate it.

@-God-: Yet the best exclusive of the year is on PS4.

You mean Casulborne?

Yep, it's still good, I'd give it an 8, but Dark Souls is better.

But really, I think that's probably the only PS4 exclusive that interests me this year.

@kalipekona: can you even read clown? I said high end. Bloodborne isnot a high end game

High end? Lol sure, moron. High end doesn't exist on your weak ass console. There's better and worse looking PS4 exclusives, but none of them look as good as you hype them up to be.

Nice comparison pic for PC and PS4

Besides everything that has been switched to keep the console kiddies happy, the PC modding community will switch back on in no time. Hell it's probably just a simple case of editing a .xml file.

Are people really fucking serious with that comparison? It's 95% the same. In some ways I even like the bottom pic better. And that's even considering that it's the PS4 version versus the old PC demo. The final PC version on Ultra settings will easily look better than that old demo.

of course its not an exclusive title, it looks mediocre. a ps4 exclusive high end title would never look so mediocre.

You're blind as hell, but we already knew that. Bloodborne looks mediocre and that's an exclusive.

Any screen you take in the order is 100% representative of how you can actually play.

You dont play zoomed in on one npc with the background blurred. Stop being a dumb **** with your artsy screengrabs.

The Order:

PC games on Max:

I bet you didn't expect PCars, Ghosts, and Wolfenstein to beat out your shitty little corridor game. Thats what happens when you use straight up gameplay grabs.

Very true.

Wow another PS4 bash thread , and the usual suspects are at it again.

Why don't you go to neogaf or n4g or any of the other Sony fanboy cesspools and circlejerk each other into oblivion?

As if cows were the innocent victims...

As if cows aren't the most rabidly fanatical group of gamers on the net...

As if cows don't bash other platforms nonstop...

Driveclub looks blend as hell without the weather effects

That's pretty much what I think. I also notice a lot of aliasing.
