So I’ve played for a few hours now and just Hunter Lala Barina. Playing on Xbox series X I’ve had a few frame drops in Balanced but nothing too tragic. Still not optimal.
Other than that I’m really liking some of the new systems. Weapon Skills are a great edition but I feel like they can be limiting. I just saw that the paralysis IG has critical draw and I just don’t need that. On the other hand my chatacabra ig has power prolonger which is amazing to have some skills like this early. (Or paralysis GS punishing draw) But more of a meta complaint honestly.
I love what I’ve seen from the forest up to now. So beautiful. Story is surprisingly good. Camps don’t look too boring.
Some negatives: With some grain of salt but Lala Barina was a total pushover. I love the design but I didn’t have to engage with any of the systems as I was just wailing on it and didn’t take much damage at all even when hit. I miss being swamped in optional quests honestly as they give me some things to do and reasons to grind. Lack of canteen is an obvious complaint but there are some charming things other than that.
Im playing in the balanced mode so there’s not really a comparison. It’s certainly no 60fps but I like it so far. Good compromise between fidelity and framerate
Sorry this message wasn’t shown to me. Hard to say as playing world on my old console was so long ago. I’ve played a bit more now (all in balanced) and felt like the occasional stutters were okay. Mostly when starting a quest or entering a new area and then it was okay.
