I’m only a few hours in, 5600x and 6900XT. Very pleased with performance at 3440x1440p, on high(with FSR2). Game looks amazing and I cap at 73 to be in my freesync range and get 0 drops.
Animations are really smooth and voice acting is too notch, so many NPCs doing unique animations, the gameplay is just as fun as the first with a few extra skills and abilities. If you enjoyed the first you’ll enjoy the second. My only criticism is they did something to her face, head on she looks wide? compared to the first game, it’s jarring and takes me out of cutscenes for a moment, but her side profile looks the same.
Yes the architecture is different but that’s not the point I’m trying to make. Microsoft are actively pursuing backwards compatibility and trying to make it better, FPS Boost and enhanced resolution are both such prominent features that they’re advertised on the Xbox store for each game that has them.
It’s something Microsoft is pushing for, FPS Boost was developed by the Backwards Compatibility Team, they then work with developers to implement it with past games. PS5 has Game Boost but aside from it just being there Sony isn’t offering the same assistance for developers to improve older titles, if this was an Xbox game you bet Microsoft would be helping to implement FPS Boost and get it to 60fps.
On Twitter I see a lot more people shitting on Series S|X than PS5, now I’m no Microsoft fan but that console has far superior backwards compatibility to begin with, and they have plenty of older games with “FPS boost”. Sony doesn’t seem to want to do this and I don’t get why, it’s entirely possible and would probably help PS5 sales.
Worst part is you just know Sony will go out of their way to try and patch around this.
I found all of the prior Lemmy apps to either be missing something, clunky, or buggy. The one I liked most was Voyager/Wefwef, but even then it was missing stuff.
Now Sync is in beta and has bugs, but thanks to past development from Reddit it’s already so much more polished than all the others, my Lemmy usage has gone up considerably, I’ve barely touched Reddit today. It does have ads, but they aren’t visible when using DNS Adblocking.
Sports but not specifically walking, I use FitNotes. I mostly use it to track my weightlifting progress but it does have the ability to track time so I do track my cardio on the same app.
It has Google Drive backups too which is nice
