Well no wonder without an Intel CPU.

Yakuza 7 is about 90% cutscenes. That is not an exaggeration. I've been "playing" the game for quite some time and I've definitely watched more without a controller in my hand than actually doing things. Even the smaller cutscenes are like several minutes.

In fact I'm writing this post while watching another one, still doesn't seem to be over.

Edit: It's still going on. The 3rd scene without a break in between.

Edit2: Still going strong. According to VGC I made this post 11 minutes ago. When the scene was already running for a few minutes.

edit3: It's finally over. So just over 15 minutes. And this isn't even comparable to the opening cutscene that was well over 30 minutes long.

Installed Yakuza Zero after reading your thread. I sorta like it but yea it is interactive movie. Nice set up and charm but sometimes am just looking at it and wondering when do i play.

I didn't mind the cutscenes in Zero at all, because they're all pretty much great and never drag on too long. But if that's already too much for you, better stay clear from the latest Yakuza, It's at least double as much and the cutscenes do not have the quality of Zero.

The original Xbox did.

Sad to hear that the new Yakuza doesn't live up to your expectations.

I wouldn't read too much into it just yet. the GPU in the XSX had to be cut down to fit into such a small die, and possibly the raytracing performance had to suffer for it. Let's wait for the first real benchmarks of RDNA2 GPUs before we really judge it's raytracing performance

Never said such a thing.

I mean, some folks out there think GTA V is a masterwork of a PC port, but really they just whipped it up in 1-2yrs since the last gen ports, and even then it demanded far more power compared to last gen and even current gen, the same way RDR2 is demanding so, so much more than current gen, and I'm just sitting here like "why?, why DO YOU WANT 5x MORE POWER YOU UTTER NONCE?".

Like I get that 4k res in those games will absolutely tax systems, but I was looking at benches for like 1080p-1440p, some ultra, some high settings, some MSAA, some with it on, but at that point I saw that the game was just asking for more than it would actually give. The game still suffered those shadow bugs and still does to this day. The shadow draw distances are like watching a slideshow appearing before your very eyes as you drive down a highway, and it's all because the game is still in some way tied to last gen draw distances.

Then there's Ubisoft and their console parity crock, like with origins, Oddesy also ended up sporting the exact same texture detail on PC that consoles have. Then you have the Ai's, the same level you get on console, byet demanding far more from your GPU/CPU on PC, like what in the actual Ubisoft?.

You know that dude that made that video about how Ultra settings are a complete joke these days?, he really wasn't kidding and was more on the mark for modern AAA PC settings. I look at these games demanding so much more, for so very little in return and I can't seem to find a fuck to give for wanting to buy any of these, because what's the point when they either run like trash, or look like a 1yr port job, with no night/day differences when it comes to attention to detail for PC ports.

These two tubers sum it up better:

I'm not really sure about Cyberpunk, primarily because of what we eventually got with Witcher 3 vs what we could have had, coupled with the devs going "we didn't downgrade PC" over and over, but it showed, and now we've had a modder called Halk Hogan, who's spent years retexturing the world in higher detail and he's so far outdone CDPR's texture team easily. I would seriously hire that modder to help with Witcher 3 next gen update, if I were them. Raytracing is definitely nice, but fuck that free update if it doesn't come with higher res textures, and the very high possibility of their update breaking Halk's texture mod for me (the same way bethesda game updates constantly fuck with my Skyrim SE/F4 mods).

Yea I am not Judging RDNA 2. I am judging consoles.

Well, to their credit, they went quite big this time compared to the last gen. Otherwise, they'd be around 7-8 Tflops instead around 10 TFlops. And they finally switched to SSD!
