Tales of The Shire – Anyone else attempt it? – Video games, Gaming and {Hardware}

Has anybody else tried this sport?

I made a decision to disregard the hate prepare and unhealthy opinions as a result of I really feel each hate and hype get blown manner out of proportion nowadays. Also I don’t thoughts decrease finish graphics. Gamecube period Harvest moon has quite a lot of comfortable reminiscences for me and that wasn’t precisely bleeding edge or ray traced… I additionally don’t thoughts “boring” video games. I play each thrilling stuff and actually chill stuff. Depends on my temper or vitality stage what I’ll boot up…

So with that mentioned, I really feel like my bar was actually low going into this sport. Didn’t even care if it was as badly optimized as individuals mentioned. I’ve a decently highly effective PC, I’m certain it might deal with it… proper?

Not proper.

Good lord, individuals weren’t exaggerating. There are some very bizarre efficiency points on some rigs. I needed to flip the graphics right down to low setting and it was nonetheless chugging, stuttering, flashing, flickering, popping, tearing , and so forth. I’ve by no means seen something prefer it exterior of an alpha construct earlier than.

On high of all that, it has the annoying bug the place whenever you cease transferring your character nonetheless walks ahead a couple of paces earlier than they cease (anybody play witcher 3 on PC earlier than they patched that out?) and the digicam/zoom retains transferring too a bit, however it appears desynced from the character someway? In truth the digicam actually has a thoughts of it’s personal (particularly within the buildings, a few of which have too low ceilings for some purpose) a lot in order that I ended up with movement illness which nearly by no means occurs to me exterior of 1 all nighter again within the day with severe sam 2 (these devs have been pure evil!)…

So I suppose I’m curious… has anybody bought this operating easily on their PC? PS5 gamers appear to be faring better of all. I’ve heard others say on Switch its unplayable.

I’m fairly bummed. I really like all issues Tolkien and have been ready for this sport anxiously because it was introduced. I believed with such low expectations it will nonetheless be okay but when it’s actually making me sick I simply can’t play it.

Any of you attempt it and prefer it or hate it or something in between?

edit: Oh and it’s a small factor, however maddening… you can not bounce on this sport! Not even down a 1 foot ledge… you must backtrack to a path to get down the aspect of a hobbit hill. Infuriating!!!
