Hell blade: Senua’s Sacrifice.
The game itself helped me understand people, who are no longer with us, in a better way. The manner in which psychosis is presented is powerfully accurate, at least from an outsider perspective. It made me cry as it portrayed struggles in a manner truthful to the symptoms beyond the effects - the story and execution of it really gripped me.
Ah fuck. Sorry man, I hope someone can figure it out. It’s a very new game, so hopefully more people take enough notice for a fix to be implemented.
Otherwise, I found an article which seems to allude to advanced volume settings to ‘normalise audio’, on an Xbox, in a similar way: https://support.xbox.com/en-GB/help/hardware-network/display-sound/choosing-speaker-audio-output
If you’re using a Playstation, it may be worth digging around in your system settings. Sometimes the option is referred to as ‘equalise’, ‘dynamic range’, etc.
Hope this helps!
I installed the game myself and had a look, unfortunately you’re right. My speakers are decent with hearing everything, however I can definitely notice the vocals being considerably lower than the music and such.
There is a way to normalise audio levels from within Windows sound settings, you just have to remember to revert once you’re done playing.
This seems to be a good article about it: https://pureinfotech.com/normalize-sound-volume-windows-10/
It’s a workaround, but it should help with the game and anything else you’d have this issue with. If you’re using Linux, unfortunately I can’t help. Good luck!
This sounds like the issue I had a good while ago, before realising something I was using was trying to output as surround sound, whereas I only had stereo speakers (so some sounds seemed normal, some incredibly low).
Just thought of giving that a mention. It may be worth having a look in your game settings, if there is an option to output as Stereo.
My word, I remember playing this when I was a teenager (and I’m in my mid-30s now).
I remember doing all those trick movements, the slash and dash, wall climbs, weapon switching for quick dash etc.
Then several months into playing, I found out people were using macros for those instead of… Pressing all the keys manually…
My hands hurt so much until that discovery.
When I was much younger and CoD4 was the latest, I thought I was rather good and so entered a competition.
Everyone was crouch jumping (we called it “bunny hops”), and I couldn’t hit them at all. Left absolutely defeated lol!
I don’t have an issue now, however every time someone does it today it’s like I have flashbacks to that horrible defeat 😂
It’s all a bit of fun though. If the mechanic exists in a game I can’t be angry or hurt at someone taking advantage of it.
Call me crazy, though maybe they should have included the result of these updates with the launch of the game.
It’s always going to be shitty for studios to release broken games, and expect people to be fine with playing buggy games until patches are released ever so slowly. Also the over reliance on DLC to fix unfinished games is also ridiculous.
I’m with you. The trailer looks incredible and I am very eagerly anticipating the game.
The trailer showed a lot of things that would likely be a part of the GTA6 story, and for that it looks like the game is geared up to be something incredibly entertaining and FUN!
My only gripe is the PC version is likely to release after consoles :(
I really appreciate how Valve saw the immense growth of the PC gaming market, during the COVID lockdowns, and decided to expand the reach further with the Steam Deck.
Yes they’re capitalising on it, but in the best way since the product is revered as being rather good (and not half-arsed).
If I didn’t have a gaming PC already, I’d consider it for sure.
I launched Modern Warfare II, and there was an update to the UI that just fucked things up.
Now, in order to play Modern Warfare II, I have to: launch the launcher, scroll down to the BOTTOM OF THE PAGE to find the entry for Modern Warfare II (the game I paid for and expected to launch), to have the launcher exit and THEN launch the previous launcher for Modern Warfare II.
They literally JUST had an event, where the top prize (after collecting 1,000 souls) was an animated Ghoulie camo for weapons.
Now that camo glows fluorescent pink after this half arsed update, and nearly everyone who has it can’t even use it.
Launch MWIII and all that, brill, hope it does whatever to your sales. I don’t care. But why the hell would they mess up a separate game, which has worked fine for most of the 300+ hours I have in it?
Immediate uninstall. I thought they learnt not to shit on their fans since the MW2019 nonsense, I guess not.
I’m annoyed. No apologies for language, they’re a bunch of gobshites for pulling this.
This has been how the latest Mario games have felt to me, even that New Super Mario thing they were doing.
They’ve stripped everything out of Mario that made it fun, gameplay wise, for something that just looks ‘pretty’. These games feel more like tech demos than how I felt growing up with Mario games, and I truly and honestly feel that way. This trailer just looks like the same deal, and you’ve confirmed it for me thanks. Such a shame tbh.
